I have been experiencing indigestion and loose bowels for a month, making it difficult to eat more than a small amount of food. I have not vomited, but have had foamy sputum after eating. There has been no blood in my stool, but I have had explosive, mostly liquid bowel movements. I had a physical six weeks ago with blood work and a pneumonia shot, after which my symptoms began. I have been taking anti-diarrhea pills and Mucinex DM, but I am not improving. I take a statin, loratadine, baby aspirin, multivitamin, and calcium. I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist booked two weeks ahead. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do in the meantime?

My mother-in-law's blood pressure is 83 over 43. Should she be taken to the ER? She takes high blood pressure medicine but has not taken any extra. She just got out of the hospital yesterday for a fall but everything checked out OK and they sent her home. They did say that her blood pressure was dropping whenever she stood up and that is why she is so weak in her legs and is falling. She also was dehydrated.

I did a line of coke about 5 months ago. I just recently had to get a hair follicle test going back a year. Will that one time, one line show up in the test and fail the test?

Why do you think my PMS is so much stronger than usual and prolonged? I'm 5 days late for my period and took 2 negative pregnancy tests. I only had sex twice at the beginning of my cycle, and my husband didn't ejaculate.

I'm experiencing light pink bleeding in the first trimester, around 6-7 weeks, with some light cramps but no fever or pain. How long should the bleeding last, what could be causing it, and is it normal to pass tiny dark clots?

My daughter has a weak immune system and is allergic to most foods, with reactions including tingling mouth, swollen tongue, and trouble breathing. Is there medication to help?
