I have been experiencing a high pulse rate for a couple of weeks, reaching 176 tonight, with symptoms including fast heart beating, difficulty breathing, feeling suffocated, and chest pressure. My blood pressure is usually good but was high for about a month. I have a family history of heart disease and heart attacks, and I have had instances of blood pressure dropping when standing up quickly. Do I need to see a doctor?

I am experiencing a severe allergic reaction on my face, which has become itchy, bumpy, and red. I have not identified any allergens and have not used any specific medication for this. My skin was fine three days ago, but it started acting up two days ago. I have a history of using Accutane a year ago and currently take propranolol daily. What should I do?

I had sex with my ex partner two days ago, and now I'm experiencing UTI symptoms such as burning urination, cramps, and pain/discomfort in the bladder area. I previously had similar symptoms after sex with him, which were treated with metronidazole, but they have returned. Can this be due to trichomoniasis, BV, or another STD? What is the correlation between UTI and cheating, and how should I proceed with testing and treatment?
