I was recently hospitalized for diverticulitis and was not given any clear information about my condition or test results. My symptoms included painful spasms/contractions in my abdomen, blood and clots in stool, nausea, vomiting, and weakness. I was discharged without proper advice and am unsure of my next steps. Should I go to another hospital or consult a specialist?

I am a 36-year-old female experiencing pins and needles sensations in my feet and occasional eye twitching, which have triggered extreme health anxiety. I recently switched from a desk job to a bartender job, which involves being on my feet for 8+ hours. I have a history of hormonal migraines and have not seen a doctor for these new symptoms yet. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to manage them?

One of my kids tested positive for Covid today. What should we do and what should we avoid to prevent spreading the virus to other family members, especially an elderly family member at risk? Should we use the air conditioner, and what about fans? Also, when should we get tested for Covid?

Is it safe to travel by air if I have tested positive for Covid-19? I am located in British Columbia, Canada, near Vancouver, and I am experiencing symptoms such as a cough, fever, and shortness of breath. I am 63 years old and taking Nyquil and similar cold/flu medications. I also have a 92-year-old mother with dementia whom I am helping to care for and have been avoiding contact with. What is the timeline for isolation, and how does one know when they are no longer contagious?

I had been taking a product called Cleanse More for bowel regularity every day for over a year, even though it's not intended for everyday use. I now have a sore upper stomach in the diaphragm area and have discontinued the product. Are there any dangers from having used it longer than advised, or should things settle down on their own now that I’ve stopped taking it?
