Question: Acid reflux with swollen rib cage

My husband has had acid reflux for months/years. He has started eating smaller meals etc. He now has a throbbing feeling on the left side under his rib cage, which is swollen too. It is visible and can be felt if you look or touch. Could this be an ulcer or is it his spleen? Any help could be appreciated…need to know if a gp visit would help or to go straight to the hospital?

Question: I’ve been abusing a drug called coricidin cough and cold for about 2 years now

Hello my names (…), I’m 22 years old, 6″1 190 pounds

i want to know if i should be concerned about a possible serotonin syndrome,

Ive been abusing a drug called coricidin cough and cold for about 2 years now, taking a 480 mg dosage of DXM daily.
I notice that i get very tired throughout the proceeding day of coming off the drug, unless i take it again. I also notice that i get more sick, day by day, if i don’t use it.. I have gone a full week or two without using it, but my problems get more severe as the longer i sober up. My withdraw symptoms are heavy sweating, random muscle spasms and twitches, sleep paralysis of which makes me fear sleeping. I have a sharp pain where my breast are, it starts to hurt the more i sober up, but once i take them again the pain goes away.
My heart rate seems to be irregular often times.

do i need medical attention? should i be concerned? I’m going to stop today and i want to know if there’s anything i can or should do to help my withdraw symptoms.

I am prescribed 20 mg lisinopril,due to my high blood pressure and hypertension. I’m 22 years old and my blood pressure is always high. usually 100-110 / 150-170.

Should i be taking lisinopril? A couple weeks ago i was driving on my way to the dentist, and i had a strange occurrence. My fingers starting locking up, than it spread to my hands, arms, feet, and legs. my body was locked, i was unable to move my fingers and toes. My hands were like a fist, i literally had to use all my energy juts to move one finger. after 10 minutes my body calmed down and i was okay.
