My husband is 84, generally in good health but lately has been experiencing shaking, weakness, and balance issues, requiring a walking stick. He recently had a normal brain scan and MRI. Today, he experienced a sudden episode of weakness and confusion while reaching into a cupboard, which resolved on its own. He is currently sleeping and says he feels fine. Should we wait until Monday to see a doctor or take him to the emergency room now, despite his current well-being?

I am experiencing symptoms of post nasal drip and have been using Fluticasone Propionate for a month, but it doesn't seem to be working. Is Fluticasone Propionate not supposed to address post nasal drip symptoms?

I recently started taking 5-HTP for mild depression and headaches. I am 60 years old and have tried many antidepressants but wanted to try a more natural option. I am taking 200 mg a day. I've been waking up stiff with aches and still have some throughout the day. Can this be due to 5-HTP?

I was told by my doctor's nurse that I was borderline diabetic and advised to avoid all white foods and lose weight. What specific white foods should I avoid, and is chicken breast considered a white food to avoid?

My rectal thickening is very close to the hemorrhoids area, and I can feel it. How is it possible to get a biopsy from something that feels so hard?

I am experiencing severe pain in my left eye, it feels like it's swollen, and the pain radiates to the left ear and causes a left-side headache. When did the headache start? Do you have any loss of vision? Did you have this headache before? Do you have high blood pressure? Any other symptoms? Any recent head injury? Is your blood pressure normal? Did you have a tremor in your left hand before? Were you diagnosed with anything during your previous episode in April? Are you suffering from fibromyalgia? Is your concern specifically about the eye? Was glaucoma ruled out in July?
