My last blood pressure reading was 131/50. Is the bottom number too low, and should it be looked into? I've been feeling weak, but I also have chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), so I'm not sure if the low blood pressure number is contributing to that.

I baked with about 2 or 3 tablespoons of spoiled ricotta cheese. Should I be worried? I am 36 years old, had brain surgery 5 years ago, and a stroke. My husband, who is diabetic, also ate it.

I'm a 21-year-old female experiencing dry mouth, frequent pale yellow urine, and feeling hot despite drinking a lot of water. I also had diarrhea, took Immodium, and experienced nausea with a Pepto Bismol tablet. I've had recent normal blood sugar and urine tests. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My 2 1/2-year-old daughter complained of pain in her genital area and initially mentioned putting a toy there, but later denied it. The area was red but has since returned to normal. She has no fever, discharge, or smell, and her mood is normal. Should I be concerned about a foreign object, and what should I do if she starts urinating normally?

I just noticed something in my eye that feels like a floater but is bigger and consistent for the last several hours. Could it be a retinal tear? Is it an emergency? My last eye exam was two years ago, and the issue is sudden today. I also have a slight fever and am going for a COVID test tomorrow. I'm 55 and nearsighted.
