I was recently diagnosed with acute bronchitis and prescribed a zpack, 20mg prednisone, and an albuterol inhaler. I'm experiencing chest tightness, sweating, anxiety, dizziness, lightheadedness, clamminess, difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite, and altered taste. How do you explain what chest tightness feels like, and how long until I feel relief from these symptoms? Are these symptoms normal for these medications, and can I take mucinex with them?

My calves and feet are very swollen, to the point where I go numb. I have been dealing with this for about a week with no recent injuries. I am a 62-year-old male with a history of diabetes, type II, high blood pressure, and LUPUS. What could be causing this swelling, and what should I do?

I have an Omron arm cuff blood pressure monitor that displays an E5 error code next to the DIA reading every time I try to use it. I lost the instructions and don't know what E5 means. Model: BP710N. SN: 20160539190VG. What does the E5 error code indicate and what should I do?

I have noticed a small lump in the inner corner of my right armpit, which I believe is a lymph node. It is tender to the touch and there is an irritation from shaving above this area. Additionally, I have a small, mobile bump near my left collar bone that I am concerned about. Could these be lymph nodes, and should I be worried about them?

I'm 46 years old and haven't had a period in 3 months. I had a very light bleeding yesterday but it stopped today. No pain, periods were regular before April. Am I going through menopause?
