I was lifting damp leaves and turning them into sacks, which led to severe lumbar pain the next morning. I have seen an osteopath who says there is no disc damage, but I have had a herniated disc before. The pain makes me feel nauseous. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

I've been taking a prescription medication, Azithromycin, prescribed by a doctor for a cough. The medication has been causing severe side effects such as painful earache, headache, fever-like symptoms, diarrhea, black bloody stools, stomach pain, headaches, and feeling really tired.

My blood pressure has been running really low (90/50) and my heart rate has been consistently between 49 to 56. I had an echocardiogram last week and feel lightheaded about 20% of the time, with one instance of passing out. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do about my low blood pressure and heart rate?

I was diagnosed with a fungal infection by my primary physician and prescribed ketoconazole cream, but it hasn't improved after a week and a half. I haven't seen a dermatologist. What could be the issue and what should I do?
