I am experiencing numbness and tingling in my feet, hands, and other parts of my body. I recently had a high PSA number, which has since returned to normal, and I have been diagnosed with chronic prostatitis. My general doctor and a urologist believe the prostatitis is unrelated to the numbness. What could be causing the numbness, and what tests should I consider?

Should I stop taking Metoprolol before Benazepril? I am a 54-year-old white male with high blood pressure, experiencing vision issues, fatigue, dizziness, and anxiety. I have been prescribed Metoprolol, Amlodipine, and Benazepril, but I feel like a zombie and am concerned about the side effects. My blood pressure is still not well-controlled, and I am worried about rebound hypertension if I stop the beta blocker.

I had shoulder surgery in June for impingement, bursa removal, and shaving of the labrum and rotator cuff. The pain has returned in a different location, and I'm concerned about possibly tearing the rotator cuff again. I've had shots, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy, but I don't want to go through another year of treatment without improvement. Should I consider surgery again, and is it reasonable to prefer surgery if it's the only way to address the issue effectively?

I have been feeling cold all day and took my temperature, which was 93.6 and 94.4 degrees Fahrenheit. I have Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Raynaud's disease. I am concerned about my low body temperature and whether I should be worried. I have no respiratory symptoms, but I did fall yesterday and my neck is stiff.

I experience lightheadedness and weak legs, especially after not eating on time or when not wearing my glasses. I also have anxiety and sleep around 5 hours a night. Could this be a combination of anxiety, lack of sleep, irregular eating habits, and eyesight issues?

I am obese and have the following health issues: insulin resistance, high triglycerides, low vitamin D, and a sluggish thyroid. I also have allergies to wheat, almonds, and hazelnuts. I am on Weight Watchers but not consistent and have a lot of hunger. Are there any recommendations for medication to control appetite that I can discuss with my doctor?
