My husband has had an elevated RDW in his last two blood profiles. In 2021, it was 15, and it has been 17 since. All other values were normal, including B12. He is a beer drinker and has been donating double red blood cells three times a year for the last two years. He is experiencing symptoms such as being easily winded, breathless when bending over, and sometimes dizzy. He has a history of heart issues, including aortic valve replacement, coronary artery bypass, and an aortic aneurysm repair. Does this condition ever correct itself, and should he stop donating blood?

If I take 2 Dramamine pills every day to sleep, could this have any long-term effects or consequences on my body? Also, sometimes my throat hurts, but it's different from flu pain and seems to be more pronounced during anxiety. What could be the possible causes of this and what can I do about it?

I have been experiencing recurring abdominal pain in my lower abdomen and very soft and foul-smelling stools for the past 5 days. Every time I eat something, I have to go to the toilet an hour later due to stomach ache. I also wake up in the middle of the night with an extreme urge to defecate and extreme stomach pain, but no real diarrhea. What could be causing these symptoms?

My Facebook page, Medical Weight Loss of Cherry Hill, was threatened to be taken down due to a post that allegedly infringes on trademark rights. The post in question is based on scientific studies and correct medical information. How can I prevent my page from being deleted and where can I find the appropriate contact or complaint submission method on Facebook?

My husband is sick with flu and I'm wondering if he may need an antibiotic. He has had flu before, is stable but not getting better, and is a diabetic. He has a sore throat, aching all over, tightness in throat, cough, and fever on and off. He also has a puffer he is taking. What do you recommend?
