I have been vomiting since 8:00 PM last night, unable to sleep, and experiencing diarrhea since 5:00 AM this morning. I have vomited approximately 6-7 times, including projectile vomiting, and I am very pale and shaking. I am 70 years old and taking Enlafax, blood pressure medication, Trajenta for blood sugar, Nexium, and Diabex with Cavstat at night. I had a bladder infection 12 days ago, have had diarrhea for the past 14 days, and have been experiencing headaches and noise in my ears/head when lying down. What should I do?

I have been experiencing a horrible cough and burning in my chest for 7 days since the flu started. My fever is gone now, but the cough and chest discomfort have worsened. Is it normal to still have these symptoms on Day 7, and what can I do to alleviate them?

My son had spontaneous pneumothorax about 2 years ago. He is currently in a college dorm and experiencing shortness of breath, chest/back pain for about a month, and has taken Advil today. He also has anxiety and has been vaping for about a year. Should he go to the ER?

I have been experiencing gastrointestinal issues, including cold chills, cold skin, trembling, heavy aching in the abdomen, dizziness, loss of sensation, and prickly pain in my body, especially after eating. I have also noticed weight loss and symptoms similar to GERD. I have been diagnosed with a nerve problem by a specialist, but I am concerned about potential permanent nerve damage, gastroparesis, slow motility, or other conditions like hypothyroidism or anemia. What could be causing these symptoms, and what further tests or treatments should I consider?

My son was diagnosed with influenza a week and a half ago. He has been doing much better the last 3-4 days; but today he woke up with a fever of 101.8 and horrible ear pain. I am assuming an ear infection, because when he was little every time he got sick it would turn into an ear infection.
