I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am on Levothyroxine. I have been getting mixed information regarding eating or drinking dairy products. I've heard you only have to wait an hour after taking the medication to take dairy products but four hours to take calcium supplements. I have also heard that you have to wait four hours to ingest dairy products or calcium supplements. What is true?

My husband has been ill since Monday with symptoms including spending 40-50% of the day in bed, headache, feeling hot or cold periodically, shivery, a persistent cough without phlegm, no energy, and no apparent high temperature. He is 58 years old and has a history of occasional cough and mild asthma. What could be the cause and should I be concerned?

I fear my thyroid is affecting my health, causing symptoms such as low blood pressure, dizziness, frequent heart arrhythmias, coldness, and a fear for my life. I haven’t had recent thyroid tests. Do I have time to wait for an appointment, or should I seek immediate medical attention?

What causes excessive saliva, and what can be done about it? I have excessive saliva but do not vomit. I saw a doctor today, but she did not address this problem. I am taking Tramadol HCL 50 mg for pain, Famotidine, and Carafate for an ulcer. I had knee replacement surgery on March 29th and have a slight case of vertigo.

I received cortisone shots in both knees yesterday for arthritis. I didn't sleep well last night, and my heartbeat seemed slightly increased, although my blood pressure is normal (118/70, pulse rate 65). Can I take Ambien to help me sleep and is it okay to start taking antibiotics for a dental issue?
