Yesterday, I ate Taco Bell and took Excedrin Migraine around 3:30 pm. My headache went away within an hour, but at around 6 pm, I started to get a gnawing ache in the middle of my abdomen, about 2 inches under my breastbone. The pain is fairly intense, especially when my stomach makes noises, and feels like an uncomfortable squeezing followed by a loud abdominal noise. I have terrible anxiety and tried to make myself throw up but just dry heaved hard. Shortly after, the left side of my chest radiating to my back started to ache, which went away after I stopped panicking. I wasn't able to fall asleep until 6 am. The pain seems a little less severe but still feels gnawing and squeezing. I don't have a fever and I'm not bloated or tender to the touch. What could this be? I have had an ulcer in the past but I'm afraid this could be my gallbladder.

I had a knee replacement 8 months ago, but now I have a weak leg and cannot walk without a crutch. There is no swelling or pain, just weakness when I walk. This is the third replacement on this leg. What could be causing the weakness and what should I do?

Can I get HIV from a mutual masturbation session with a sex worker where she removed her hand from inside her vagina and used it roughly on my penis in a hand job?

How long does it take for a doctor to respond, and how can I break chest congestion that I've been dealing with for a couple of weeks, which started with nasal congestion but now includes dry cough in the morning, yellowish or greenish phlegm, and a feeling of something in my throat?

I mistakenly took 900 mg of Bupropion HCL XL, which is twice my daily prescribed dose, along with my usual 100 mg of sertraline HCL. I am a 64-year-old male in fairly good health and not allergic to any medications except sulfa drugs. I am concerned about potential side effects and whether the extended release of the medication will mitigate any issues.
