I'm 67 years old and weigh about 99lbs. My blood pressure has been in the 120 to 140 range, but it goes up to 164 when I visit the doctor. Two weeks ago, I was prescribed Lisinopril 10mg, which I split in half to take 5mg daily. Now, my blood pressure readings are around 96/60 to 104/65. Is this too low?

I have angioedema and am completely deficient in C2, but have normal CF100. Does this mean I have no chance of having lupus? What is the implication of no C2 but normal CF100?

I experience sudden chills, my left leg and arm going to sleep, shaking uncontrollably, feeling lightheaded and dizzy, slight numbness on the left side of my face, very dry and cracked hands that bleed and itch, and back itching. This has been occurring for 2-3 weeks off and on, and seems worse when sitting. I have diabetes and use Levimir 10 ml insulin. Could these symptoms be related to a pinched nerve, diabetes, or a side effect of my insulin?

I've heard people make comments that I smell like poop. I have great hygiene but a problem with constipation since I was very young. I love milk and will not give it up. What could be causing this smell and what can I do about it?
