My wife is 70 years old and has had two back surgeries in the last six months, experiencing leg pain and a small stroke on the right side. She was sent home after being hospitalized for slight bowel inconsistency but seems to be worse now, with symptoms including memory issues, confusion, and easy falling asleep. Her blood pressure is 65/41 and her temperature is low at 94.3°F in one ear and 96°F in the other. Should we go to the emergency room?

I suddenly heard a noise in a very quiet environment, which stopped when I spoke or made noise. I have anxiety and migraines, and I'm worried if my anxiety could have amplified a normal symptom. I've had tests for vertigo and a brain MRI, both negative. What could this noise be?

I had laparoscopic repair of hiatal hernia 8 days ago. Today I have a slightly high eosinophils count (552). Could the surgery have triggered this, as in infection or inflammation from surgery? I also have a head cold (runny nose, cough, etc.) -- could the high eosinophils indicate 'fighting a cold'? I have a follow-up with the surgeon in 1 week. Do I need to be concerned and take any action before then? Thank you.

I have severe abdominal pain and have noticed changes in my bowel movements since my rectocele started. I have had normal stools every day for the past two months, but since the prolapse, I am experiencing severe pain and my stools are not coming out as well. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have been trying to gain muscle mass for several years now and I can't seem to gain anymore. I have been working out 3 times a week, lifting heavy, doing 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps, and using whey before and after workouts. My daily calorie intake is about 6,500. What should I do?
