I’m a 26-year-old male who drank 4 Hennessy Red Bull drinks on an empty stomach, smoked hookah and two cigarettes, and then spat blood in the sink. I have a gum problem and a tooth that hurts when I bite down. I’m unsure if the bleeding is from my gum/tooth or internally from my stomach, as I’ve vomited blood before when drinking and my parents have a history of gastritis and ulcers. Should I be worried, and do you have any suggestions?

I’m breastfeeding my 4-week-old and taking prednisone for hives. I’m tapering and taking 2-10mg pills in the morning. Do I need to wait at this dosage to breastfeed her, and if so, how long?

I am on Eliquis prescribed for an AFIB episode 3 years ago. The AFIB incident was preceded by an aggressive course of thyroid medication and testosterone. I have not had an AFIB situation since. I want to stop Eliquis. Advice?

I have a slight stomach ache each day that feels better after eating. I have lost some weight and have tried various over-the-counter medications without relief. I can't see my doctor until April 26. Do you have any ideas or recommendations for managing this condition?

I have a squishy movable lump in my breast and pain behind the nipple when I squeeze, sticky fluid comes out. When did you first notice this? When was your last mammogram? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

I am confused about my lab results for herpes, which indicate I have antibodies for both Herpes 1 and 2. I have never had a cold sore or any outbreak, and I recently started dating someone with whom I had unprotected sex for the first time in December 2017. I am unsure if I was recently infected and if my partner could have given it to me. I don't understand the lab results, including the index numbers and the possibility of false positives or negatives.
