I have been experiencing body-wide twitching for over a month, occasional perceived muscle weakness, and random breathing difficulties, especially during periods of elevated anxiety. I have a history of heroin overdose but have been clean for over 4 years. I am concerned about the possibility of ALS. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have either ingested or inhaled something I am allergic to, resulting in hives covering my entire body, swollen lips and face, and irregular breathing. I have been advised to go to the ER, but I am hesitant due to recent illegal drug use. Is there an over-the-counter medication similar to Prednisone that can help, or do I need to go to the ER? If I do go, do they absolutely have to take a blood test, or can I refuse it and still receive help?

I was put on Amlodipine on Sunday. My blood pressure is still very high at 180 over 104 and my heart rate is 78. Should I go to a hospital right now or wait until morning and see my doctor?

I have a swollen lymph node that has been present for three months. An ultrasound and MRI have both come back 'abnormal'. I have taken three rounds of antibiotics for a sinus infection and tooth issue, and have seen a doctor about the sinus infection. Is there any chance the lymph node is non-cancerous?

I am currently taking Prilosec OTC 40 mg/day for acid reflux and Lorazepam 0.5 mg nightly for anxiety/insomnia. I am experiencing painful stomach pain. Could it be from a bad interaction between the two drugs? Can these two drugs be taken together?

My wife has been vomiting non-stop for the last 3 hours. She has not used any medication and has not seen a doctor about this before. Is there anything else in her medical history that the Doctor should know?
