My husband has been a blood donor for over 3 years and has recently been rejected for donation due to low hemoglobin levels (Hgb 11.5, previously 14-15 in 2017). He has been experiencing fatigue and was found to be in tachycardia with a pulse of 141 before a stress test. His recent blood test showed Hgb 10.8. He has normal iron binding capacity but low iron levels. He has a history of Afib and a stent in 2006. What could be causing his anemia and tachycardia, and what should be the next steps in his treatment?

I ate scallop sushi for dinner and now I'm experiencing freezing, spinning sensations, and nausea. This happened two weeks ago and the spins lasted for days. I've never had this problem before. At 45, I may have developed some allergy. Is there anything I can take at home?

I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with pneumonia, but the radiologist's report showed no pneumonia but mild interstitial prominence and atelectasis in the right lung, with a white haze in the left lung not mentioned in the report. I have been running a 100.7 degree temperature off and on and my normal temperature is 97.4. I am low thyroid and allergic to most antibiotics. What does mild interstitial prominence and atelectasis mean, and what can I do to help myself get well?

I have had pain in my left side above the hip for over a month. I am 78 years old and the pain is in my left flank. The pain varies in severity and does not change with bending. I have not used any medication for it and have not seen a doctor. I do not have nausea, fever, chills, or blood in my urine.
