About 2 months ago, I had a sore mouth with white spots everywhere, which my doctor diagnosed as cold sores in the mouth. I was prescribed Valtrex, but the issue came back with white dots in my mouth and the back of my throat, and my throat feels swollen. Could I have another bad outbreak of cold sores in my mouth, and can they go in the back of the throat?

I am a 57-year-old woman who recently stopped taking Tamoxifen and Hydroxyzine for anxiety and sleep. In the last month, I have been waking up every hour or two to urinate at night, which was not a problem before. Could the medications I was on have caused this, and why is it only at night? I have no pain when I pee.

What is wrong with my throat and chest? For the last 3 weeks, I have had a persistent sore throat that keeps returning, especially on the right side, accompanied by sharp pain, coughing fits, and nerve pain throughout my body. Additionally, I experienced chest pain, neck soreness, and a sensation of my heart stopping for a few seconds, which has me concerned about potential cardiac issues.

I have been suggested to follow a histamine intolerant diet, which is almost impossible for me, and it seems to lead to high cholesterol due to the limited food options like red meat and butter. I was diagnosed with high cholesterol last year, which is currently controlled by diet. Additionally, I was diagnosed with bladder spasm, and the histamine intolerance diet was suggested after this diagnosis. How should I manage my diet to avoid high cholesterol and follow a diet suitable for histamine intolerance?
