I think I have strep throat. I have symptoms like sore throat, diarrhea, fever, chills, cough, headache, confusion, and swollen tonsils with white pus spots. I'm 44 years old and have no significant medical history. I tested negative for COVID, flu, and strep throat a few days ago. What do you think is causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I take 10 mg of amlodipine for blood pressure, but I've been experiencing occasional dizziness and my blood pressure readings have been between 90/60 and 119/65 for the last couple of weeks. I'm 56 years old, weigh 200 lbs, and have been taking this medication for about a year. Additionally, I've been having some palpitations. What should I do about my medication and symptoms?

I'm experiencing chest pain with burning sensations around my chest, neck, and back. My heart rate fluctuates, and there's tingling in my body. I feel warm to the touch but am also cold, and I have diarrhea. This has been ongoing for about 3 hours. Is this anxiety, a heart attack, or something else?

I am a 64-year-old male living in Jamaica for 3 years. Since late January, I have experienced constant muscle and joint soreness, weakness in arms and shoulders, and swelling in hands and toes. I was using Advil ibuprofen and then Celebrax for a short period, which seemed to help. A neurologist suspects either RF negative rheumatoid arthritis or polymyalgia rheumatica. My symptoms include constant, dull, and aching pain, stiffness in both shoulders, and swelling and stiffness in hands and wrists, especially in the mornings. What could be the cause of these symptoms, and what tests or treatments should I consider?
