I was on Metoprolol Succ ER 100mg and Lisinopril HCTZ 20-12.5 for a few years. After side effects became too annoying, my doctor switched me to Valsartan HCTZ 80-12.5. I'm nervous about stopping beta blockers cold turkey and my blood pressure is reading 145/97 on average. Should I be worried that I wasn't weaned off the beta blocker?

I got a pelvic ultrasound result showing a thickened uterus lining and a left ovarian cyst. What could cause the thickening, and what is the probability of something serious like cancer? Additionally, why might a sonohysterogram be recommended, and is a thickness of 2.7 cm (27 mm) concerning even if it's just before the period?

I have two lumps/fissue-type things in my nether region and experience dryness, pain when urine or toilet paper touches it. Is this normal for someone my age, and what can I do for it?

I have psoriasis on the sides of both my feet and ankles. Are there any home remedies that would help with the cracked skin and stinging? I have been prescribed Enstilar but am concerned about using it due to potential skin thinning and varicose veins.

I've been experiencing pinching chest pain and dull toothache-like pain in my left arm extending to my elbow. The chest pain started yesterday afternoon and comes and goes. I'm not managing the chest pain with any medications, but I took Nyquil for a headache that turned into a migraine. I have multiple medical issues, but everything is under control. Do these symptoms worsen with walking or activities? Are there any shortness of breath or dizziness?
