My wife's toes move constantly, almost in a twirling motion, and her legs hurt really bad. I have noticed since her knee replacement about five years ago, it has gotten worse. She has diabetes and high blood pressure. What could be causing this and what should be done about it?

I have been experiencing body-wide twitching for over a month, occasional perceived muscle weakness, and random breathing difficulties, especially during periods of elevated anxiety. I have a history of heroin overdose but have been clean for over 4 years. I am concerned about the possibility of ALS. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have either ingested or inhaled something I am allergic to, resulting in hives covering my entire body, swollen lips and face, and irregular breathing. I have been advised to go to the ER, but I am hesitant due to recent illegal drug use. Is there an over-the-counter medication similar to Prednisone that can help, or do I need to go to the ER? If I do go, do they absolutely have to take a blood test, or can I refuse it and still receive help?

I was put on Amlodipine on Sunday. My blood pressure is still very high at 180 over 104 and my heart rate is 78. Should I go to a hospital right now or wait until morning and see my doctor?

I have a swollen lymph node that has been present for three months. An ultrasound and MRI have both come back 'abnormal'. I have taken three rounds of antibiotics for a sinus infection and tooth issue, and have seen a doctor about the sinus infection. Is there any chance the lymph node is non-cancerous?

I am currently taking Prilosec OTC 40 mg/day for acid reflux and Lorazepam 0.5 mg nightly for anxiety/insomnia. I am experiencing painful stomach pain. Could it be from a bad interaction between the two drugs? Can these two drugs be taken together?
