Is a resting heart rate in the low to mid 90s dangerous, especially after lung surgery, and would it be helpful to take a beta blocker like Metoprolol tartrate?

I am a 72-year-old man, and my wife and I still have an active sex life. My problem is that when I have an orgasm, very little semen comes out. My wife is not happy about that, and I don't know how to fix it. I hope I am not just old and drying up. How long has this been a concern for my wife, and is she currently using any medications? Anything else in her medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I have a bad cough, sore throat, and chest pain that makes it hard to breathe properly. I tested negative for COVID-19. How long have you had the cough? Is it constant throughout the day or does it come and go? Is it a dry cough or a wet cough? Any tightness in your chest? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the cough or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I have had anemia for several years and have received two previous infusions of ferrinject. I am due to have another iron infusion (500mg ferrinject) on Friday. My concern is about iron overload with my current hemoglobin level (HB 132) and ferritin level (34-43). Do I need to be concerned about iron overload, and do my ferritin/iron levels warrant an infusion, especially since I have difficulty with oral iron?

I have a very bad bruise on my wrist from a needle placed for anesthesia yesterday. It hurts and I wanted to make sure it wasn’t anything serious. The pain is dull but hurts when I move my hand in a certain way. I am 46 years old and not managing the pain with any medications. Is there anything else I should be concerned about?
