My girlfriend is experiencing symptoms such as feeling like vomiting but no actual vomiting, headaches, severe stomach pain, diarrhea, and a delayed period. She has an irregular cycle and usually has a period every one or two months. Should I be worried about a possible pregnancy?

I recently got diagnosed with oral herpes and have been unable to eat for 6 days due to pain. Will I lose my muscle, and what can I do to alleviate the pain?

I traveled from Uganda to Vancouver, Canada from March 16-18th and am experiencing discomfort in my legs, like swelling and a bit of stiffness. I also had symptoms of malaria (fever, aches, vomiting, diarrhea) on March 11th, for which I was treated with malaria medication. I finished the course on March 15th. I am now in Vancouver and have noticed my bowel is still extremely loose, though I have been nauseous/do get a bit of an upset stomach when I fly. I have not had a blood test to confirm malaria. What should I do about my leg discomfort and loose bowel, and should I be concerned about malaria?

I can’t seem to get my blood pressure down today. It was high when I got up, like 145/85. I doubled up on my lisinopril and took 15 mg of lisinopril and 15 mgs of amlodipine several hours ago and my bp readings are still awful. 139/79, 137/89, 147/82, and last reading was 140/84. Does this mean my heart is failing or kidneys aren’t working right? I’m afraid I’m going to fetch stroke or heart attack from this.

I have scleroderma and experienced severe abdominal cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea with thick, dark stool, along with sweats and chills. I suspect it might be norovirus or gastrointestinal illness. I am currently on Losec, Domperidone, Adalat, and Resotran for bowel issues. I stopped taking Resotran when I became ill. Does this sound like norovirus, and is it safe to continue Resotran after the symptoms have subsided?
