My ankles are continually swollen, and the swelling goes down when I go to bed. I have had this issue for about six months with no recent injuries. I have hypertension and am currently taking Exforge HCT 10mg/320mg/25mg. My heart is good, and I have had a complete blood evaluation recently. What could be causing the swelling, and what should I do about it?

I accidentally took an extra 40 mg Pravastatin. Is it dangerous?

I accidentally took a double dose of lamotrigine (400mg at 12pm and 400mg at 8pm). It's now 11:29 pm and I'm feeling better but tired. Can I sleep? Also, can I take 0.25 mg of Xanax to calm myself?

I have a rash on the left side of my stomach and back, along with skin numbness and tingling on the top of my stomach. I also have hip tightness and pain in my buttocks. How long have you been dealing with the skin issue? Have you noticed any major changes in your overall skin or nails recently? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

I noticed a mark on my hand that looked like a pimple with two white heads. It has not grown bigger but the white pus has grown into one area. I recall being bitten by a cat 4 days before the lesion appeared, but the skin was not broken. What could the lesion be, can it be cat scratch disease if the skin was not broken, and is there a chance of tetanus if the skin was not broken? The cat is older than 12 months and wears a flea collar but lives outdoors.

I have a resistant Escherichia coli infection that is sensitive only to Gentamicin. My GP has been advised by my Consultant not to give any treatments unless I am completely symptomatic with very bad symptoms or a fever or a temperature. I have been carrying this infection for approximately 7 weeks untreated. What do you think of this approach and can you offer any advice? I feel unwell all the time but not seriously enough to be treated.
