I had my period exactly one week ago and I woke up bleeding with a fever and headache. I only had the headache right before I woke up to the bleeding. The pain is in my whole head, the top and front. I have a history of irregular periods after a miscarriage in 2016, a small cyst, and fibroid. The bleeding is light with one clot, and I experienced pains in my lower back and legs, followed by a fever and headache. Last night, I had a sharp pain in my abdomen right after eating, which lasted for about a minute or two. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I am concerned about a Grade 1 dysfunction listed in my recent echo report. Everything else was normal. Is this going to be harmful, and is there anything I should do about it?

My almost 87-year-old mother has cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) and other findings on her MRI. We've seen noticeable changes in her, including memory issues, balance problems, incontinence, and language difficulties that occur daily to weekly. She has also had two episodes of word salad and one episode of not being able to speak. Her neurologist refused to discuss her symptoms or treatment options with me, despite having a HIPAA form on file. I need to understand if her SVD is progressive and leading to vascular dementia, and how to help and protect her.

Is it safe to take these heart medications as part of a regimen? Valsartan HCTZ 320-12.5 mg once a day, Flecainide 100 mg twice a day, Amlodipine Besylate 5 mg once a day, and Nadolol 40 mg? I have A-Fib and high blood pressure.
