I have a headache and have been off my blood pressure pills for 2 days. I just took Metoprolol Succinate 100 mg at 5:30 pm. My heart rate has gone up to 100 on my home monitor, and my blood pressure rates have been fluctuating. I had an epidural at about 4:45 today from a pain management doctor. I don't know if this is related to the epidural. Should I take another pill or will I be OK?

I have a numbness sensation on the top left abdominal muscle. How long have you had the numbness? Is this stable or getting worse? How old are you? Are you currently using any medications, either for the numbness or anything else? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I purchased Sharper Image brand masks that are labeled as non-medical, but they look identical to the masks I see in hospitals and doctor's offices. My brother bought masks at CVS that are labeled as medical. Why is one labeled medical and the other non-medical, even though they look the same? Are they really different, or is it just a certification issue?

My left lymph node under my jaw has been swollen for months, coming and going without worsening. I have a sore throat, vape, and am concerned about HIV due to unprotected sex. What could be causing the swelling and should I be worried about HIV?
