Can you tell me the erythropoietin dose if the hemoglobin (HB) is less than 10, the patient has chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4, and is not on dialysis? Also, should it be administered intravenously (IV) or subcutaneously (SC), and how and when should the dose be reduced?

I've been experiencing lightheadedness, dizziness, and a buzzing sensation in my head and ears. My blood pressure has been as high as 175/120 and as low as 140/99. I take medications for chronic depression and anxiety. Is my high blood pressure causing these symptoms?

I've noticed that when I get asthma attacks, I produce phlegm. This never happened before. Does this mean my asthma is getting worse?

I am having brown discharge a week before my period. It started two days ago and has been pretty constant, changing in thickness and amount. The discharge is mucousy, thick, and very dark brown, with no noticeable odor. I am on birth control pills and have been taking them for around 5 years, but this cycle is the first time I switched to a new brand. I threw up a birth control pill due to a stomach bug and did not take another pill. I am sexually active but use condoms. I am worried that I could be pregnant since I missed a pill. What could be causing the brown discharge and should I take a pregnancy test or wait for my scheduled period?
