I am a 31-year-old medically retired police officer experiencing frequent 'flutters,' 'palpitations,' and chest pain. My stress test was normal, but the cardiologist suggested beta blockers despite my frequently low blood pressure (often 90/40). I am concerned about the side effects of beta blockers, especially since my blood pressure has dropped significantly since I started experiencing these symptoms. I feel extremely tired and dizzy, and the flutters are becoming more frequent and intense. I am unsure if I should take the beta blockers and what other tests or treatments might be necessary to address these symptoms.

I keep getting sharp pains on the top of the right side of my head off and on, which is scaring me. They hurt, and I don't want an aneurysm or to die. What is wrong with me?

Would BV make you nauseous and your stomach ache? I am 25 years old and have been experiencing a stomach ache for a week. I was recently diagnosed with BV by my OB, and I'm not sure if my symptoms are related to BV or my birth control. I had a pap test three months ago with normal results, but I have noticed some swelling, a faint sour smell, and an off-white discharge. I also had the Mirena IUD for five years without issues until it was removed in February.

I just woke up and feel like throwing up. I took Zantac last night and Dramamine this morning for nausea. I am a 19-year-old female with symptoms for about three days. I have acid reflux, a queasy stomach, and am slightly constipated. I take Bisoprolol, Imdur, and Prozac. What could be causing this and what medications or lifestyle changes can help?

I have Epstein-Barr virus, which is still active in my system. I've been misdiagnosed with RA and have been on various medications for years, including Xanax, pain meds, and aspirin. I experience major fatigue, joint inflammation, and severe pain most days. I am also obese, type 1 diabetic, and on disability due to brain fog and pain. What type of doctor should I be seeing?
