I am unhealthily underweight and have osteoporosis. I am a 71-year-old female weighing about 69 lbs, with a history of fractures due to falls. I have COPD and an irregular right breast. Is it too dangerous for me to weight train, and what can I increase in my diet to help gain weight?

I am a 55-year-old female with a history of hysterectomy and bladder removal. I have been experiencing intermittent body weakness, shortness of breath, malaise, and fatigue. My recent lab results show normal CBC, CMP, ferritin, vitamin D and B12, sed rate, c-reactive protein, CK, TIBC, and saturation, but low iron at 43. My ANA test initially showed 'negative and then abnormal' with selected antigens and hep 2 cells elevated. Follow-up ANA tests showed further increases in these values over four days. I have had COVID-19 three times, with the last infection in September. What could be causing my symptoms and what should I do next?

I accidentally consumed Morton's 'salt substitute' instead of regular salt for the past few days. I used it to salt water for pasta and to season chicken. I am 25 years old, male, and have no known health issues, but high blood pressure runs in my family. What are the potential health effects of this mistake?
