My mom has been experienceing high blood pressure and a mysterious rash on her chest and back that burns. We went to the doctor and they don't know what it was and told her to stop taking BLOOD PRESSURE PILLS FOR TESTS, well she got the symptoms again on Thursday and went to a different doctor, who said that her BP was 180/100 and should take the pills.He also said the rash was from a food allergy to rich foods, etc.
Last night she got bad agian, with all the symptoms above. The first doctor wants a 24- hour urine sample on Sunday to check for rare diseases.
Anyone had something like this? It has been going on for a week now. and I feel helpless. She can't sit or stand when this happens and emergency room is no help either.

If a stress echo shows that a 28 year old female has no heart damage, but she has elevated troponin levels, .11. Can troponin levels increase due to Salmonella infection?

About 12 days ago I started getting these tingling sensations throughout my body (everywhere excpet for my anterior trunk and groin). I am 26 years old and female. I had an MRI and it showed "multiple linear abnormal signal intensity lesions invloving the cortex and subcortical white matter of the right posterior parietal lobe". So then I had an MRI with the contrast and now it says "this is probably a benign process follow up with MRI in 6 months to assess stability of the lesion". I get the tingling bilaterally and it occurs off and on throughout my day. I have good muscle strenth and no problems with my bladder or bowel. My chem panel was normal except for mild elevated WBC count and low phosphorus. Also once in a while I get these vibration like feelings in my right calf. I also get a heaviness in the back of my neck. What is wrong with me? I am so scared...if it was MS wouldn't that have been diagnosed with the MRI? Please any advice would be appreciated!

I'm looking for some good, reputable and unique cancer charities or fundraisers that I can donate to. What I'm really looking for is an event or fundraisers where someone is taking on a difficult personal challenge to raise money or awareness.

She usually starts having an attack in the middle of then night. Is there anything I can do to help her. I have heard coffee works? Anything else you can recomend I could give her when it happens?
