I have been taking PPI (proton pump inhibitors) since 2015, and recently, I have been feeling heavy and tired after taking Nexium. I have reduced my PPI intake to 2-3 times a week, but I am concerned about the risks associated with long-term PPI use, such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure. Additionally, I have not been able to walk long distances or lift heavy things without feeling out of breath, even though my heart and lungs are fine. What should I do to reduce these risks and manage my symptoms?

I was treated for a UTI and have one day left for antibiotics. I was also prescribed yeast infection medication, but I started experiencing symptoms two days after taking the medication. The symptoms include more grey, chunky discharge. Did I take the medication too soon or too late? What other medications can treat this, and do you recommend using boric acid suppositories?

My daughter had her nose cauterized for recurrent nose bleeds. However, about 4 hours later, her nose started bleeding again, lasting about 25 minutes and since then has been trickling. She says she can taste blood in the back of her throat and has a headache. What should I do, and should I be worried about the bleeding?
