My husband has a very low immune system, is very tired, has frequent bruising, and feels cold all the time. He had a marrow transplant 20 years ago and is currently 70 years old. He has been on antibiotics for over 20 years and has bowel problems that worsen with cold weather. He eats a good diet and has had his flu injection. What vitamins can boost his immune system?

I'm 22 and experiencing a sharp chest pain below my left shoulder that started tonight. The pain is localized and hurts when I move my left shoulder. I took Advil and have been trying to improve my posture. Should I go to a doctor?

I had symptoms of a cold on July 8th, including a sore throat, tiredness, and headache, but no cough, congestion, or fever. I self-quarantined and took a COVID test, which came back negative. I also took a Z-pack for possible strep throat. Since then, I've experienced throat tightness, chest pressure, difficulty breathing, and fatigue, especially with activity. My oxygen levels and pulse are normal, and I have no fever or loss of smell. I'm awaiting the results of another COVID test and have been referred to a cardiologist. My questions are: 1) How do I know when to go to the ER? 2) How dangerous is just resting and waiting a few weeks for a cardiology appointment? 3) Should I wait for the results of the other COVID test before ending my self-quarantine?

I just started taking letrozole for early stage breast cancer. Is insomnia a known side effect? I have been taking it at night, as it says on the pamphlet that it may cause drowsiness.
