I am a 55-year-old female with a history of hysterectomy and bladder removal. I have been experiencing intermittent body weakness, shortness of breath, malaise, and fatigue. My recent lab results show normal CBC, CMP, ferritin, vitamin D and B12, sed rate, c-reactive protein, CK, TIBC, and saturation, but low iron at 43. My ANA test initially showed 'negative and then abnormal' with selected antigens and hep 2 cells elevated. Follow-up ANA tests showed further increases in these values over four days. I have had COVID-19 three times, with the last infection in September. What could be causing my symptoms and what should I do next?

I accidentally consumed Morton's 'salt substitute' instead of regular salt for the past few days. I used it to salt water for pasta and to season chicken. I am 25 years old, male, and have no known health issues, but high blood pressure runs in my family. What are the potential health effects of this mistake?

I have 3 siblings, all with electrical heart issues. My sister passed away after a second ablation due to a blood clot, my brother had sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and required an AED, and another brother and I have had various heart procedures including ablations and open heart surgery. My blockage in the left main artery was not detected through extensive testing for two years. Why was my blockage not seen earlier, and what could be causing these issues in my family?
