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 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 have a rash that turned into blisters and sores on the head of my penis (uncircumcised), which is now painful. I've used hydrocortisone, a balanitis cream, and mixed neosporin with hydrocortisone. What could this be, and should I see a urologist or go to urgent care?

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?

I suspect I have parasites. I have symptoms such as loss of appetite, anemia, digestion problems, stomach cramps, and a recent sinus infection. I am a 53-year-old male with a history of malaria and minor alcohol use 20 years ago. How can you help me, and what tests should I undergo to confirm if I have parasites?

I have been experiencing severe abdominal cramping and constipation for about 3 days. I have used laxatives, but they have not provided significant relief. I am also experiencing random sharp stabbing pains in my left testicle, which sometimes radiate up to my lower abdomen. I am concerned about possible fecal impaction or partial bowel obstruction, and whether the constipation could be causing the testicle pain. What should I do to alleviate these symptoms and should I be concerned about the testicle pain?
