I was given amiodarone 200 mg 6 times a day for one week to help with my heart having too many extra beats. I'm 83 years old and my kidney function is between 27-35. After a week, the extra beats disappeared, so the drug was stopped by my GP. Since then, I have developed a rash all over my body and an itch that is driving me mad. It's now 3 months I've had this rash, and my GP did a biopsy which showed non-specific results. He can offer nothing else. What could be causing the rash, and what should I do for relief?

I suffer from Vestibular Migraines. Today, after food shopping and watching TV, I suddenly felt faint, my breathing was heavy, and my head felt like it was going to explode. I then experienced tingling in the soles of my feet for about an hour. What do you think happened to me?

I have an itchy anus with light brown mucus discharge. I haven't seen a doctor about this yet. Could this be due to hemorrhoids or diet-related irritation? How can I manage the itching in the meantime?

What do the test results indicate about my health, particularly regarding the possibility of a UTI or other issues? The test results include glucose, ketones, specific gravity, UA HGB, pH, protein, nitrite, leukocyte esterase, urobilinogen, bilirubin, microscopic exam, WBCs, RBCs, bacteria, squamous epithelial cells, mucus, hyaline casts, and I also feel bloated.

I used a public toilet where my urine splashed back onto my anal area, potentially contacting surfaces that may have been contaminated with vaginal secretions, menstrual blood, or other bodily fluids from previous users. I have a small cut on my anus and am concerned about the risk of STD or HIV infection. Additionally, I wiped a toilet seat with a paper towel that had dry menstrual blood on it, and I'm worried about the risk of infection if the blood transferred to my hand, especially if I had cuts on my fingers or if I touched my anal area without washing my hands first. Can you assess the risk of infection in these scenarios?
