I’m experiencing hot/cold flashes, congestion, pins and needles, blurred vision, dizziness, and body aches upon standing for a few minutes. The symptoms are more pronounced after standing or shivering. I’m a 24-year-old female taking Zyrtec, Mucinex D, Sudafed, and Excedrin PRN. What could be causing these symptoms and how can I manage them?

I have been experiencing dark brown bowel movements for about 2 weeks. I am a 70-year-old male taking Coversil 5mg daily. Should I be concerned, and is there anything else I should consider?

I have been experiencing soreness in my hips for the last 60 days, which is more than usual and radiates down my left leg. I also had swelling above my left ankle with a painful spot on the bottom of my shin, which cleared up on its own. My hip pain is worse when sitting than walking. I walk about 7 miles every day and play golf a couple of days a week. My MRI didn't show any unusual signs of arthritis, and my blood work didn't indicate any infection. I am concerned if this could be gonococcal arthritis, as I read that it includes symptoms like hip pain and sore tendons due to an infected sheath. Is the lower leg pain and swelling indicative of tendinitis? Does gonococcal arthritis pain improve on its own and then come back? If it was gonococcal arthritis, would it usually not improve without treatment? What would be the signs of a joint infection in the hip?

I tested positive for Covid last Monday, with symptoms starting on Sunday. My symptoms are nearly gone, however I took a home test last night and it still shows positive. Is the home test coming back positive still an indicator that I am contagious?

Hi Dr, I wanted to get a prescription for Invermectin in case I get Covid. I am reluctant to get the vaccine. I have TTP and no spleen. I am very careful of who I am around. Is this possible?

I had a bonfire and burned some dried leaves and wood. About 20 minutes after the fire was done, I noticed a feeling like something is in my throat. I was drinking cold water, and it felt like something moved around with each sip. I worried that a small piece of burned material might have gotten stuck in my throat without realizing it. I've eaten and drank liquids, and it felt better during that time, but the feeling is present again. Is this something stuck in my throat?
