I am concerned about the health implications of taking antibiotics frequently. I have taken about 4 antibiotics in the last 2-3 years, mostly for oral infections and sinus infections. What is considered a healthy and unhealthy amount of antibiotics to take, and what can I do to avoid taking them?

If I drank two bottles of 17% cooking wine on Friday night, would it show up in a urine test if I took the test tonight around 7? I am 5'5", 160 lbs, take 20 mg of Lasix daily, and have no kidney or liver disease. How long does it take to run a urine test if it gets shipped from SC to VA tomorrow?

I've been taking Doxat 100mg for 11 days for sinusitis and I'm experiencing anxiety, depression symptoms, and elevated blood pressure. How long have you been dealing with this? Is there anything in particular that seems to make the symptoms better or worse? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

My hair has been falling out more than usual and I was wondering if the Head and Shoulders shampoo and conditioner were causing it. Can you tell me for how long your hair has been falling out more than usual? Also, is the whole root coming out or is the hair breaking off at the base? Any other issues such as more dry skin than usual? Or perhaps fatigue?

I have a history of lung cancer and am experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, balance issues, neck pain, and swollen lymph nodes. Why is my oncologist ordering a PET scan, and what could these symptoms indicate other than cancer?

I am a 63-year-old male with a history of heart disease and a quadruple heart bypass in 2002. I also had a hernia. I wake up at 3:45 AM on workdays and urinate more than 20 times by 6 PM. I feel like I haven't finished urinating and need to lift my belly to release more. I don't experience pain or burning while urinating, and my urine color is normal. What could be causing this frequent urination, and what should I do?
