I have a question regarding my stent and my left subclavian artery. I had a stent placed in 2014 due to subclavian steal syndrome. Recently, my family doctor found that my stent might be blocked, as my blood pressure readings and pulse in my left arm are significantly different from my right arm. I also have symptoms such as difficulty walking, blood in my urine, and severe migraines that have lasted for almost 3 weeks. I want to know if a blocked stent in the left subclavian artery can cause renal blockage and if the stent can be replaced.

My daughter, age 36, 230 lbs, has felt lousy for a day and a half and just got a positive COVID-19 test. We have vitamins C, D3, and Zinc along with Quercetin to give her according to the Zelenko protocol. If we could get ivermectin, what would be an appropriate dose to treat the virus? Additionally, is she currently using any other medications, and is there anything else in her medical history that the doctor should know?

Hello, randomly today my left shin/calf is tingling. I’m 24 with no known health problems. I took Valtrex (to prevent cold sore), magnesium for the first time last night, and Spironolactone for acne. I’m not sure if something could be causing this feeling.
