I had a stool in the morning and yesterday that is not the same color. It has shades of orange and darkish colors but is mainly brown. I’m a 21-year-old female. I have a picture of the stool as well. I started taking probiotics recently and also took them with green veggie powder that contains fiber, probiotics, and antioxidant blends. What could be causing the color change and should I be concerned?

I had an afib episode in May and was cardioverted with Flecanide. I have paroxysmal afib with a good echocardiogram and stress tests showing no ischemia. I'm currently on 25 mg of metoprolol and Xarelto. My blood pressure is naturally low, and I experience side effects like fatigue, dry mouth, and hand swelling from metoprolol. I'm in regular sinus rhythm but still on metoprolol. Why can't I just be on Xarelto and no other meds? Is it necessary to have an ablation or could I be off metoprolol and be monitored? Is ablation done even in normal sinus rhythm as a preventative measure? If I'm in normal sinus rhythm, is it necessary to stay on metoprolol? My cardiologist has me on 25 mg as a preventative measure. My blood pressure is naturally low without any meds, and I find that metoprolol keeps it even lower. So just wondering if it could be stopped. Do you know if just staying on Xarelto as a preventative for stroke is still done or is the protocol to be on both a beta blocker and blood thinner?

My daughter, who is 2 years and 5 months old, has had a constant wet cough for about 4 weeks, which worsened after a cold. She coughs frequently at night, disrupting her sleep, and has had periods of fever and runny nose. She has used inhalers before, which helped, but is currently not on any medication. What could be causing her cough, and what treatments or remedies can help alleviate her symptoms?

Last year, I had an encounter with a prostitute where she inserted her naked finger into my anus for about a minute. A few months later, I started experiencing pain on the left side inside my anus, a burning sensation and pain when passing stool, and pressure in my anus muscles when trying to fart. Recently, I've noticed a jelly-like substance coming from my anus every day. Could this be a sign of cancer or something minor?
