My routine urine test shows 2+ occult blood and RBC, UA 3-10. I urinate often and have diarrhea due to microscopic colitis. What could be the cause of these results and should I be concerned?

I have started experiencing pain in my fingers on my left hand, particularly the 3rd to 5th fingers, which hurts most when I grip. The pain has also started on my right hand, though less painfully. I had an operation on my right shoulder 7 weeks ago to remove calcium and repair a muscle tear. What could be causing this pain?

I have a rash that is red with tiny blisters wrapping around my right side from my stomach to my spine. It has been bothering me for about 3 days and has spread. I am experiencing pain that keeps me up at night and discomfort when touched, especially by clothes or bed sheets. I have been taking multiple medications including Oxycodone, Amoxicillin, Amitriptyline, Motrin, and Tylenol due to an oral surgery 10 days ago. What could this rash be?

Can you be in and out of atrial fibrillation (afib) for days and be safe to go places, etc.? I'm on Sotalol and Losartan for it, waiting for a call from an electrophysiologist. I also take thyroid medication and Eliquis. I can feel my heart beating irregularly, but I have no pain, shortness of breath, or other symptoms, just tiredness.

I have been sick for about 5 days with symptoms including tiredness, weakness, no energy, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and no appetite. I don't have a fever currently but have had one over the past few days. I have been anemic with bleeding ulcers a couple of years ago and have been very dehydrated. How many times do you pass stool in a day? Is there blood in it? Do you feel any pain in the abdomen? Did you take any medicine?
