I am 49 and in good general health. Tonight, I was eating stir fry and felt it wasn't going down right. It's been several hours now, and I have upper stomach pain, like something is lodged. I am salivating heavily, and when I try to drink water to clear it, the pain intensifies and the water doesn't go down. I have tried vomiting and it doesn't help. What should I do?

My husband's feet and legs have swollen overnight and haven't gone down after two days of laying in bed. One leg is hot to touch, the other is warm, and one foot's toes are cold while the other is warm. He has been experiencing off and on headaches and says he doesn't feel well, but he has no fever. What could be causing this and what should we do?

I just had two days of chronic hives, followed by lab results showing high lymphocyte absolute count (3.3) and slightly elevated glucose (117) and A1C (5.9). I have never experienced hives before. What could be the cause of these symptoms and what should I do next?

My mother-in-law is 87 years old and has had a persistent cough for over a month, which keeps her awake all night. Her high blood pressure is currently 204/80. She has had high blood pressure since 1993 and is taking over 7 different medications daily. She also has a history of thyroid issues and heart problems. What additional information should be considered to help diagnose and manage her condition?

I occasionally see black specks in my stool. Should this be concerning, especially since I eat a lot of black pepper, blueberries, and sometimes black beans? I have IBS and take omeprazole, Bentyl, iron, and vitamin D supplements. I've seen a GI specialist, and my blood panels have been normal except for being iron and vitamin D deficient. I've also had some weight loss and suffer from anxiety.
