I mixed my tablets up this morning and do not know if I took my bendroflumethiazide 2.5mg or thyroxin 50mcg. I am afraid to take thyroxin just in case. If I have missed a dose of bendroflumethiazide, will it do any harm for one day? I do not wish to take thyroxin in case I overdose. Additionally, I have been taking Gaviscon Advance on doctors' instructions due to constipation and bloating. I know I should not take flaxseed or a laxative with bendroflumethiazide, but I took a herbal laxative. I am trying to drink at least two liters of fluid. I have had orange juice and nectarine this morning to try to balance electrolytes. I have tried to keep Gaviscon Advance to 1 or 2 times a day so I don't have wrong salt or potassium levels and magnesium. I am worried about dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. I have a slow heart rate for years and suspect it might be related to my thyroid condition. I have sleep apnea and worry it might be affecting my heart rate. I have been treated for reflux for years, and I feel like I have a lump or phlegm stuck in my throat. I am terrified to go to sleep in case I choke to death. I am also concerned about my heart health, including potential artery blockages and changes in my ECG due to breathlessness and anxiety.

I haven't had a period in 6 years and my husband and I want to try for a baby. It started 2 years after I first got my period when I started taking the Depo shot. I am 31 years old, have high blood pressure, and endometriosis runs in my family. I have seen 4 different OBGYNs who have diagnosed me with PCOS, cysts on my ovaries, and also said they didn't know why I wasn't having a period. What could be causing this and what should I do next?

I am 22 years old and considering getting an IUD. I have used two different birth controls before but am not on anything currently. I am only taking a probiotic vitamin and a multi-vitamin. My mother has Polycystic Ovaries, and I tend to get yeast infections/UTIs at least once a month. Should I opt for a hormonal or copper IUD given my history of yeast infections and my mother's polycystic ovary syndrome?

I am noticing a lot of skin irritation and discolouration that recently started to happen. The irritation is stable and constant, and I am using medications for allergies and eczema. I am 24 years old and have a bit of vaginal discharge and itching. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I was told I have an STI, but I forgot what it is called. It's a bacteria from the vagina that can be spread to a partner. I need to know what it is. How long have you been concerned about the STI? Are you sexually active? Are you experiencing any symptoms like burning, pain, itchiness, or discharge? What medications are you currently using, either for the STI or anything else? How old are you? Is there anything else in your medical history that the doctor should know?

I have a painful sore on my genital area that I initially thought was an ingrown hair. It has been present for a few days, and I've also noticed issues with my bladder control, especially when I'm exhausted. Could these symptoms be related to an underlying condition or an STI?
