I have an Omron arm cuff blood pressure monitor that displays an E5 error code next to the DIA reading every time I try to use it. I lost the instructions and don't know what E5 means. Model: BP710N. SN: 20160539190VG. What does the E5 error code indicate and what should I do?

I have noticed a small lump in the inner corner of my right armpit, which I believe is a lymph node. It is tender to the touch and there is an irritation from shaving above this area. Additionally, I have a small, mobile bump near my left collar bone that I am concerned about. Could these be lymph nodes, and should I be worried about them?

I'm 46 years old and haven't had a period in 3 months. I had a very light bleeding yesterday but it stopped today. No pain, periods were regular before April. Am I going through menopause?

My partner has been taking Diflucan for 2.5 days for a vaginal fungal infection, but there has been minor improvement. She has an appointment with a GYN on Tuesday. I'm concerned because her symptoms usually improve by now, and I'm worried it might be something like herpes. She's using a topical cream, eating yogurt, and not douching. What should we do?

I have a numbing and tingling sensation below my left side rib cage, sometimes feeling like cramping, usually occurring later in the day. I've been treated for a bronchial infection with a lot of coughing, which has made both sides below my rib cage sore. My recent blood pressure was high at 174/120, and my medication has been adjusted. I'm hoping the numbing and tingling issue is due to coughing. What are your thoughts?
