I am 3 weeks off Zoloft 25mg. Was on it for 3 weeks and came off cold turkey. I experienced withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia, adrenaline dumps, dry heaves, tremors, night sweats, brain zaps, dizziness, and weakness. Most of these have subsided, but now I have a lot of gas and diarrhea every morning. Is this normal and why does coming off Zoloft do this?

I have a blood creatinine level of 1.19 and an eGFR of 52. Six weeks ago, these levels were 1.10 and 58, respectively. I have experienced swelling in my ankles and around my eyes, increased frequency of urination, and I have rheumatoid arthritis (RA). I was previously on Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, but stopped it six weeks ago. What could be causing these changes in my kidney function, and what should I do next?

I found a lump in my breast in early December and have had inconclusive mammogram and ultrasound results. I've been referred for an MRI, but the current doctor suggests removing the lump for testing. What should I consider doing next?

I have been experiencing worsening constipation and symptoms like stomach swelling with gas, lump in the throat, cough, reflux, and passing hard pebbles with mucus. I am on metformin and have been using enemas and colonic hydrotherapy for IBS. I am worried about the seriousness of these symptoms and if they could indicate something sinister, such as cancer. I have recently had blood tests and am awaiting results, which I fear might show bad news. Additionally, I have concerns about high iron levels and skin spots that I worry could be melanoma. What should I do about these symptoms and concerns?

During a catheter ablation attempt, a clot in the atrium was found. How can the clot be dissolved? I am currently on Warfarin 2.5 mg/day for 3 weeks now. I am an 83-year-old male with constant Afib.
