I have been on Lexapro for 5 weeks, starting at 5mg and recently increasing to 7.5mg. I experienced severe side effects initially and now have dull abdominal pain that moves from left to middle to right side randomly. I also have morning anxiety again after the dosage increase. I am a 36-year-old female with GAD. Should I be concerned about these symptoms and what should I do?

The abdominal pain you're experiencing is likely not related to the Lexapro, as it doesn't typically...

I have been experiencing a reaction on my tongue after eating certain foods, such as pizza, salty snacks, and lemon salad. The reaction causes redness and mild burning sensations. I have been using Daktiran and a stomach-cleansing medication, but I'm unsure if this is the right treatment. Is this a serious condition, possibly cancer, or just a food reaction? How long will it take to heal if I avoid the triggering foods?

I might be exposed to formaldehyde toxic gas for a week. I bought a polyester rug that released a 'funny' smell for a week in a humid room where I stayed for 12 hours a day. I suspect the smell is formaldehyde. I know long-term exposure to formaldehyde can cause leukemia and other cancers. Should I worry?

I have been dealing with stomach issues, including diarrhea and bloating, for some time, possibly exacerbated by recent dietary changes and antibiotics. I am concerned about managing these symptoms before a flight back to Germany. What should I do today to alleviate my symptoms, what can I eat, and should I be worried about the blood in my stool?

I have cold/flu symptoms such as tiredness and difficulty breathing. I previously received a prescription for hydroxychloroquine on 10/5/2021, which helped. I am seeking advice on whether I need another prescription and how to manage my current symptoms.
