I had a bowel movement that was hard to come out, and when it did, there was a small amount of red-tinged material on top of it. I'm concerned if this could be blood and if it could be something serious like cancer. Additionally, I've been experiencing shooting pains in my anal region when sitting and upper and lower abdominal pain. Could these symptoms be related to straining during bowel movements or hemorrhoids?

I have been experiencing a burning sensation in my left upper arm that varies depending on my position (laying or sitting), fluctuations in my blood pressure (ranging from ideal to high), and a feeling of pressure in my head rather than a headache. I also had chest pain and a high pulse two weeks ago. What could be causing these symptoms and should I be concerned?

I received a first dose of AstraZeneca vaccine in Brazil in late April and then a first dose of Pfizer vaccine in the U.S. My doctor in Brazil believes I should get both doses of Pfizer to be fully protected. What is your opinion?

I’m going to try cholestyramine for bile reflux and malabsorption. I got an ADEK vitamin to supplement that as well. I already take 12 gm of Heather's Tummy Fiber (acacia white). My poop has white tiny balls in it, possibly indicating my Creon isn’t being absorbed. Is it possible that my Creon and Prevacid, the only capsule pills I take, are not effective due to my GI problems? Should I contact my doctor about this?

How long would it take for HSV-1 37.50 to become active after a previous negative test, and what could be causing a metallic taste from certain foods, especially meat, despite having no other symptoms like heartburn or taking any medications?

My 9-year-old daughter suddenly got a stomach ache, vomited multiple times, experienced a bad nightmare and more vomiting, and now has a headache and is vomiting every 30 to 40 minutes. She has no fever but is cold and can't keep anything down. What should I do?
