I experienced dizziness while standing and talking for about 15 minutes this morning. I am a 24-year-old female with slight anemia due to minor thalassemia, on a ketogenic diet with limited carbs and 800 calories per day. I have no known diabetes or heart problems, but I do have an extra heartbeat detected during a stethoscope checkup. My blood pressure and sugar levels are normal when sitting. What could be causing this dizziness, and what should I do about it?

Should we take our 8-month-old daughter to urgent care? She has been experiencing a fever ranging from 101-103°F since 1/5 early am, with periods of cooling down to 101°F and 100°F. She has been sleepy and coughing a lot. She has no known allergies and is not on any daily medications.

My 12-year-old son has been diagnosed with fatty liver and has abnormal lab results, including high ANA and ASCA levels, but negative lupus-specific antibodies and other infections. He has GI symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea/constipation, and fatigue. His GI symptoms improved with a gluten-free, dairy-free diet. What could be causing his fatty liver and other symptoms?

My husband has been in the hospital for 5 days with the flu and has had hiccups for 2 weeks. He has a history of heart surgery and his family has a history of heart and stroke problems. What could be causing his persistent hiccups and what can be done to stop them?

I am on Methylprednisolone 4mg 6 pack. I am on my 3rd day. I know it may irritate the stomach but will drinking alcohol decrease the effectiveness of the steroid?

My son swears he had no alcohol but had an ETG test result of 3090ng and an ETS of 730ng. Is it possible the urine test is incorrect? The people at the facility were rude and obnoxious. He tested negative for PBT the same day, the testing facility forgot to do an instant panel that day but did collect urine. He tested negative for all three for the prior 5 months and three weeks of testing afterwards.
