I accidentally took a dose of omeprazole. I’m on Lipitor. Will I be ok? I heard that you shouldn’t take the two together. It was just one 20mg dose of omeprazole. I took it this morning at 6. And I have a schedule dose of Lipitor tonight. Can I still take my Lipitor tonight and be ok?

Hello,
I am 33 years old female and this year I noticed I have high blood pressure. I am 5’5 and 155 pounds. I have gained a bit of weight (30 pounds) because of taking abilify for psychosis. I am doing well and no longer experiencing any symptoms. However recently I noticed I am measuring high blood pressure. At the highest it was 153/93. Last year my blood pressure was fine but I had a high heart rate running over 100 beats per minute. Now I have high blood pressure. Please advice can this be a result of my medication? or weight gain?

Hi I am a male person and my age is 55, I exercise every day 1-2 hours, I noticed that like 2-3 months ago I started drinking more and more water than before to the point that I needed to have a bottle of water with me all the time, but it is uncomfortable because I have to go to restroom almost every 2 hours during daytime and wake up like 3-4 times during night time, I noticed that I lost weight too, and muscular mass also because my pants now are very loose, I should be more than happy because maybe the gym is working but those many visits to the restroom is what is getting uncomfortable and getting out of control. is this normal? or what could I do in order not to go so many times to the restroom, I started to drink less water to see what happen, but the sensation is still there

I experience pain in my right shoulder everytime I raise my arm over my head or put a shirt or coat on. I have been told that glucosamine pills will help and maybe even cure this. Should I use glucosamine? Can I get your opinion on this.

I have struggled with intermittent pain for years now. Usually deciding that I’m just being a baby and popping a few ibuprofen. (About 800mg five or more times a week, due to pain or headaches) The pain usually begins in/near joints and generally radiates out. So sometimes my whole arm will ache from shoulder to elbow to palm and sometimes it’s my legs and hips. I also have lower back pain. Most of these pains tend to begin at the end of the day. Though I wake up stiff and in pain in the morning for up to a couple hours.
Two years ago my jaw, which was sore and stiff sometimes, locked up and wouldn’t relax for months, it was horribly painful and very scary. I noticed my face was very hot, though never looked swollen or red. I was unable to open my mouth farther than halfway. I got some dental work done and worked with a TMJ specialist, who provided me with a very expensive occlusal guard(which did not help over months and months) Eventually my jaw loosened and now it flares up a few times a month, but doesn’t seem to stick around as long.
Two months ago my right eye suddenly began to ache and a thick cloudy fog fell over my vision. I saw an opthalmologist who diagnosed uveitis and gave me steroid drops, which helped almost immediately. He suggested I have some blood work done.
My PCP found elevated c-reactive protein and antinuclear antibodies? And referred me to a rheumatologist.
Today was my appointment. (I should mention a pretty light pain day) The doctor looked me over and really only seemed interested in my low back pain. She ultimately decided I probably have inflammation and probably won’t find a cause, so she gave me humira and sent me on my way.
I’m feeling a little lost and confused at her lack of interest and sudden drug prescription. Am I crazy? I realize this is probably weird to follow and it’s very condensed. I had just expected her to be more interested in my symptoms and finding a cause. Are there any suggestions for me to move forward?

I am 81 and am traveling on the Irish Sea tomorrow pm. I need to take travel sickness tablets. I am in reasonably good health. Would it be alright for me to take one of these before travelling on the ferry? I have purchased a packet of Kwells and the blurb suggests I seek medical advice.

I inserted mine an implanon on 26 October 2017 and am still bleeding. There was a brief 2 week period in December when the bleeding stopped but it has been almost 5 months of continuous bleeding. I just read something that says you could be bleeding for the full time you have the implanon in. My doctor it will be 6 months at most. I could be bleeding for 3 full years? What causes the bleeding?

I’m experiencing a strange feeling in my head and throughout my body. Tuesday night, at around 9:40 pm, I was at work and taking my final break. I suddenly started to feel a sick feeling in my stomach. Almost immediately, my head felt strange. It feels like vertigo, but I’m not experiencing the ‘room spinning’ feeling. It’s like a tightness all over my head. My vision seems affected by this, I’ve been noticing a “jumpy” or twitchy sight. It’s not my eyes, but whatever it is that I look at, it seems to twitch.
My body is shivering like I’m cold, but I’m not. I’ve also experienced a sudden need to have a bowel movement. Not diarrhea, but I’ll suddenly get bloated, gas pains, and a need to go to the bathroom.
I haven’t slept well since I got home from work. What I’m feeling in my head doesn’t let me relax and sleep. I suspect what I had for lunch at work is the cause of it.

I was recently diagnosed with the H. Pylori stomach virus. I have been put on an antibiotic regimen. I have felt extremely nauseous during this time.
My issue is for the past two nights I have had diarrhea in my sleep and woke up to quite a mess. This has never happened before. Could this have been caused by the H. Pylori?
Please tell me that’s all it is and it will go away.
I am a 51 year old male.
I appreciate your help…

General Information: I have had 4 unsuccessful back surgeries. The last one approximately 5yrs ago.
I have had uterine ablation approximately 10 years ago. I am 53 and premenopausal. Recently started having cramping and pain in what I thought was left ovary. They did find cystic lesion 3×8 x 3.3 x 5.1 cm in the left ovary but what concerns me is this: “Complex findings in the uterus with a large irregular region of fluid and soft tissue, which may arise from the endometrium. Differential considerations would include an endometrial malignancy. A large degenerating fibroid is an alternative consideration.” They are recommending a D&C with ultrasound guidance because of the scar tissue and history of severe endometriosis. Rt ovary was removed 4 years ago found to be endometrioma. I’m wondering why a hysterectomy wouldn’t be a better idea to just put an end to all of these issues?

I’ve been having trouble swallowing the last couple of months. It feels like my food is sticking in my throat and I’m going to choke and then I’m gasping for air. It’s getting worst. Even liquid is difficult now. It feels like there’s a lump on the right side of my throat making it hard to swallow. I’m terrified it could be cancer like my father

Not so much a medical issue as it is a question regarding general health. I have bad OCD and my shirt touched the bathroom stall wall at work today and I wanted to know the likelihood that this could result in me getting anything based on a normal day (perhaps touching the part of the shirt impacted due to an itch or something as well as rubbing my eyes if they get itchy/tired). I know this is a really weird question but I really need an answer to alleviate my stress (Yes I am on medication and yes I’m normally fine. This issues is an exception but I need answers all the same).
