I have been sick since the 20th of March with symptoms including diarrhea, sore throat, cough, and loss of voice. I have no fever but have stomach sounds. My cough is dry and comes and goes. I am currently using lozenges and rikodeine. I am 64 years old with a thyroid condition. I have seen a doctor who prescribed antibiotics, but they did not help. I am now taking panadol, cough mixture, and lozenges. My symptoms have not improved and I feel very sick. What do you think is the name of my illness and is it normal to feel so sick for this long?

I have had Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) for over 10 days with intense pain, starting around noon each day. I have been taking Omeprazole, Pepcid AC, and Nexium. I also took Motrin for hip replacement pain and am 73 years old. I have a history of periodic GERD attacks. Can you advise?

I received a B12 injection today and have been experiencing stomach cramps. This is my first B12 shot, and I am 31 years old. Are these cramps a normal side effect, and what should I do if they persist or worsen?

I have been experiencing palpitations all day, which have continued after going to bed, becoming strong and rapid. I was taken off nadolol a few days ago but took one just now. I was on a Holter monitor last week, and while my heart rate was briefly 37 at 4:00 a.m., the average rate was deemed acceptable. I have not noticed any dizziness or trouble breathing, and there are no new stresses other than the palpitations themselves. What could be causing these palpitations, and what can I do to manage them?

I need a doctor to send a requisition for blood work to test for Rheumatoid arthritis. My family doctor has retired, and I don't have a new one yet. I've been experiencing hip pain in both hips for the past 4 months and occasionally take Advil. I am 60 years old and not currently on any medications.
