Is ivermectin a powerful anti-inflammatory and could it help with my flu/strep symptoms, particularly in reducing inflammation in my tubes? If so, how long can I stay on it without it causing issues when I stop, and is it more effective than NSAIDs or turmeric?

I recently took Flonase, Claritin, and Sudafed for allergies and have been experiencing heart fluttering, like two or three times every two days or so. The last time I took the medication was December 3rd. I have asthma, acid reflux, a history of anxiety and depression, and stress. I'm 26 years old, and the fluttering mostly happens when I'm active at work. I did heart and blood tests recently, and everything was okay. What could be causing this heart fluttering, and what can I do about it?

I had gastric bypass surgery 6 weeks ago and have been experiencing severe nausea from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. Even small sips of liquids or bites of food make me feel like I'm going to throw up. I'm also constantly constipated, with painful cramps and sharp shooting pains. My surgeon has me on Zofran, phenergan, reglan, a scopalimine patch, Senekot, dulcolax, and a stool softener, but I'm still struggling. Could something be wrong due to the surgery? How long can I go without a bowel movement, and should I be concerned?

I have been experiencing excessive burping, upper abdomen bloating, and pain, along with a sore throat due to excessive burping. I am a 54-year-old female who has been dealing with these issues for a year, following a period of antibiotic use. I have been diagnosed with acid reflux, SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), and candida. Despite treatments, the problem has persisted and worsened recently. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?

I do not have regular bowel movements. It can be anywhere from once a week or longer, followed by a day or two of straight diarrhea. I have tried over-the-counter daily laxatives like Metamucil and Restoralax, but they don't make a difference. What can I do?

I have consistently low levels of immature granulocytes, with a recent increase to 1.0. I also have swollen lymph nodes in my groin for about two months. What could these symptoms indicate, and what should I do next?
