I had a CBC recently and the WBC and RBC were slightly high, the RDW-CV was high, and a manual smear noted 2+ teardrop cells and 5+ burr cells. My PCP wants to wait 6 months for a retest, but I'm concerned about marrow issues due to past high platelets, immature granulocytes, and other irregular numbers. Can teardrop cells ever be normal?

Can Escitalopram cause throat dryness and sore throat?

I have been experiencing migraines triggered by light, particularly bright spaces and computer screens, and sometimes accompanied by nausea. Additionally, I have tension headaches that start at the back of my left ear and radiate forward, which feel better when massaged. My family doctor suggested avoiding migraine triggers and referred me to an optometrist, but I'm unsure if this is the right approach. Should I see an ophthalmologist instead, and is a CT scan necessary for this condition?

I am a 25-year-old female on day 7 with RSV and feeling much better. I noticed my Apple Watch showed my oxygen saturation was 92% right after I masturbated, which then went up to 98%. I think I subconsciously held my breath during the activity. I feel fine and the saturation went back up, so am I okay? Could the Apple Watch have been wrong?

I am getting a strep test tomorrow but have a severe gag reflex and emetaphobia. Is it okay to use Chloraseptic throat spray before the test to numb my throat and prevent gagging, or will it affect the test results?
