I have been experiencing various physical symptoms such as a whining sound from the transmission in my Toyota RAV4 2002, gait abnormalities, muscle weakness, pain, and irregular heartbeats. I am concerned about these symptoms and would like to know if they are normal, what could be causing them, and what steps I should take to address them.

Do you have to take into account the medication's half-life when redosing? Specifically, if I am on oxycodone for a kidney condition with a redose schedule of every 4-6 hours and a half-life of approximately 4 hours, should I reduce the dose after 4 hours to account for the remaining 50% of the medication still in my system?

I’ve been experiencing a variety of health issues including body aches, weakness, chronic fatigue, low blood pressure, migraines, and heart palpitations/chest pain. My blood work consistently shows high calcium levels (10.0-10.8) and low vitamin D levels (25-31). I am a 33-year-old female with a family history of parathyroid issues. Could this be related to hyperparathyroidism?

My liver ALT is 100 and AST is 60, and my creatinine is 134. I had abdominal pain in May and was on 40mg of protonix, which I stopped in August. I've also been on hyoscyamine 0.375 twice a day. I'm a 55-year-old male who runs 3 miles daily and had a virus with fever 7 days before the blood test. I'm concerned about my blood results. What could be causing these elevated levels and what should I do next?

I am pregnant, estimated due date June 1, 2021. I had a hookup on 8-29-20 before getting back with my ex-boyfriend on 9-1-20. The hookup did not finish inside me, but my boyfriend did every time from 9-1 to 9-15. I never got my period after 8-25 and took a pregnancy test on 9-27. Which is most likely to be the father, considering my regular 28-day cycle and the timing of these events?
