I am a 19-year-old 130-pound female. About a month ago, I had 14 or 15 shots of tequila and was taken to my dorm by my roommate. She left for breakfast the next morning without locking the door. I am worried that someone could have taken advantage of me while I was in a light sleep stage due to binge drinking. Would I have been woken up if someone tried to take advantage of me?

Six weeks ago, I was diagnosed with pseudomonas aeruginosa through a stool sample, showing 4+ growth. I completed 14 days of Cipro treatment, and a follow-up test showed 'reduction of gram negative flora' without specifying pseudomonas or providing a growth number. Why was the result worded this way, and should I still be concerned about sepsis?

Why does my heart rate increase to about 115 beats per minute after a night of drinking, when my normal resting heart rate is between 60-80 beats per minute?

I woke up during the night with pain in my left arm and left upper chest. This morning, the pain is concentrated in my left upper chest. I took ibuprofen and the pain seems better, but I can't take a deep breath without pain. I'm thinking it's muscle strain due to a mammogram on Friday and moving books yesterday. I want to make sure it isn't signs of a heart attack. I have asthma and took Advair earlier for shortness of breath. My pulse is between 61-66 when sitting, and my oxygenation rate is 97%.

I have trouble sleeping (insomnia) and sometimes get cold and dizzy. I suspect I might have sinusitis. What are the symptoms and treatments for this condition?
