I had an echocardiogram done and the technician seemed pleased with the results, stating everything looked normal and there was no heart stiffness. However, my doctor mentioned heart stiffness after checking with the technician. I'm confused about the discrepancy and want to understand if this is a subjective issue or if there might be a mistake. Additionally, I have hypertension and shortness of breath, and I'm currently on anxiety medication and have switched from metoprolol to propranolol. How should I interpret these results and manage my symptoms?

I have been experiencing bloating and pain in my right side next to my rib cage for the last 3 days. The pain is at the bottom of the right rib cage and slightly higher diagonally. I have had some loose stool but no diarrhea, vomiting, or nausea. What could this be and what should I do?

I had an incident involving rubbing of penis to anus with precum, no penetration. After 4 days, I experienced sore throat and diarrhea. Is this considered an HIV risk and are these symptoms early signs of HIV?

My bandage with dressing is stuck to my burn and I can't get it off. I tried soaking it in cool water, but it won't come off and it hurts too much to peel it. What should I do?

If I have no pain, can eat and drink normally, and have normal stools, do I still have acute pancreatitis? Additionally, if I had recurrent acute pancreatitis treated with a stent, is it possible to only have pancreatitis once in a lifetime? Will I always need to worry about it coming back, and will this affect me for my whole life? Can I lead a normal life, eat normally, and drink a minimal amount of alcohol, or should alcohol still be avoided? If a stent opened my pancreatic duct, is it still considered damaged or healthy now that it has returned to normal size and is no longer enlarged?
