I recently developed an irregular pulse, characterized by two strong beats followed by a weak stutter or 'dit, dit' beats. I am a 79-year-old male and a regular jogger. I still feel fine and have been jogging until two days ago. This condition came on suddenly. What may be the cause and what are the dangers if I continue to jog?

What is Heparin Lock, and how does it relate to patients on a ventilator and IVs of Fentanyl and Versed during an MRI scan? Can patients on a ventilator and heavily sedated with these drugs wake up and breathe on their own for the duration of the MRI scan?

I have swollen glands in my neck, dizziness, and high blood pressure (153 over 94). Since when has this been present, do you have a fever, any issues with your ear, nose, throat, or face area, and are you taking any medications?

Can taking ibuprofen 800 mg for an injury for about 7 days, 2 times a day, cause blood in your stool? I have taken it with food each dose.

I fell on my left knee two years ago, causing a third-degree cartilage tear on both sides of my knee. Despite steroid shots and gel injections, my knee has not improved. X-rays show it is bone on bone, and my whole leg, knee, and foot hurt. I am unable to bend my knee enough to get into a bathtub since February. I had another fall in 2014 with the same knee but had no problems for four years before this. If I had not fallen and hurt my knee, would I still be having problems with it now?
