My mom's systolic blood pressure is 127 and her diastolic is 44. Should I be concerned? She was recently hospitalized with low blood pressure, prescribed miodrine 2.5 milligrams twice daily, is a dialysis patient, has a stent in her heart, and has been diagnosed with low blood sugar.

I had diarrhea all night and took 3 Imodium over a period of time. The diarrhea is starting again, and I am 71 years old and pretty sick. Can I or should I take more Imodium? I have no side effects from taking Imodium this morning, but I am unsure if I can go to the doctor without having an accident.

Hi, I’m Kelly. I went to the doctor and got tested for an STI and thrush. It came back normal and said I have a bit of yeast down there. My doctor wants to do a Pap smear but I have a light period. Can she still do a Pap smear even when having a light period?

My son is 10 years old and weighs around 95 lbs. He is experiencing a stuffed-up nose, cough, sneezing, and sniffling. Can I give him a partial dose of NyQuil capsules? We live in Saudi Arabia and might not have access to much else, but I might be able to find someone with Benadryl.

I’m a 55-year-old male with a small cyst in or near my inguinal area that is slightly tender when touched. I shaved my pubic hair four weeks ago and accidentally cut myself, which healed, but now I have this cyst. Should I be concerned about it, and what could it be?
