I have had hypertension for years, controlled with medication, but in the last few days, my blood pressure has dropped, and I am now consistently hypotensive. My blood pressure ranges from 118/66 to 105/60, and I have increased frequency of urination. My previous blood pressure was 145/88. I have lost weight but not recently and am on glucophage, eltroxin, and atenolol. My pulse rate has slowed down to 56 and 66 from 72, and I feel lightheaded at times. What could be the cause of my hypotension?

I had tested for cocaine yesterday and have not taken the drug, but I did take 4 500mg of amoxicillin on Sunday as premedicine before my dental appointment. Would this have caused the positive result?

I am experiencing severe itching that progresses to electrical-like shocks in my left arm, feeling like jellyfish stings, especially at night. I have been diagnosed with cellulitis/staph infection and treated with Bactrim and topical Clindamyacin, but there is no improvement. A previous diagnosis suggested nerve ending issues and prescribed a topical steroid cream and Atarax, which also did not work. I am 53 years old, have no swelling or tingling, just burning and itching sensations, scattered red bumps, redness, and no fever. What could be causing this and what further steps should I take?

I have a smelly discharge from pores under my ear lobe that has been present for four years. I consulted a doctor about a year after noticing it. What could this be and what should I do?

Woke up with inflamed ear lobes, majorly swollen eyes, a splotchy rash on my upper and lower cheeks and chin, and swollen lymph nodes behind both ears. There is not much itchiness, no runny nose or sneezing. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
