After prolonged use of Claritin, can you experience indigestion, chest pain, itching, burning, and head pressure?

The Claritin was initially taken due to a severe reaction to the contrast from an MRI.

I got my period 3/2 weeks ago, I took Plan B last week, and I have been bleeding since yesterday. Is that a side effect of the pill? How long does the bleeding last, and can Plan B affect the timing of my next period?

My husband has a very low immune system, is very tired, has frequent bruising, and feels cold all the time. He had a marrow transplant 20 years ago and is currently 70 years old. He has been on antibiotics for over 20 years and has bowel problems that worsen with cold weather. He eats a good diet and has had his flu injection. What vitamins can boost his immune system?

I'm 22 and experiencing a sharp chest pain below my left shoulder that started tonight. The pain is localized and hurts when I move my left shoulder. I took Advil and have been trying to improve my posture. Should I go to a doctor?
