My husband today developed a headache (taking ibuprofen did not help), was also nauseous and could not focus his eyes to see objects nearby. He went to see a doctor, who said it was a tension headache and prescribed some medication.
I am, however, still worried. Based on the symptoms, could it be something more serious? Do you think he should get a second opinion?

My husband is taking CHANTIX to stop smoking, but now he fills bloated all the time, to the point that it's sometimes a bit painful, and hard for him to get comfortable. His eating habits have not changed, and he still gets to sleep just fine at night. On the good side he has stopped smoking 2 packs a day, but still smokes some. He would like to keep taking CHANTIX, but he really feels it's eatting away at his stomach. He also takes PRILOSEC, everyday, and has always had bad heart burn if he forgets to take his PRILOSEC. WHAT CAN HE DO FOR HIS PAIN ?? and still take CHANTIX. Is this painful gutt due to CHANTIX, or taking CHANTIX & PRILOSEC together. If so, what can he take to stop smoking, that will not effect the PRILOSEC. He really needs the PRILOSEC, heart burn runs in the family. OR, if he still wants to take CHANTIX, how can he avoid the stomach pain.??????HELP,..Thank You.

Around a week ago, the doc switched my dose from 20 mg to 15 mg of adderall. I don't feel like the drug is doing much, but I can't tell if this would really make a difference. I used to take 30 mg XR, but I think it effected my sleeping patterns. I would like to know the effective dosage that someone my age and weight would take. Thanks.

I just went in to an allergist today and found out I'm allergic to about every tree, bush, grass, or shrub in my local area. The doctor recommended I start treatment with allergy shots. I think I'm gonna do it but was curious as to how great or not so great these shots will make my breathing! Please share with me!

So my mom told me this morning when I woke up that she was taking my dad to the emergency room.
She said he came home from work throwing up, stomach hurting, and hurting around the shoulderblades.

He's in the hospital, and he has a bunch of gallstones.
My mom said he has to have his gall bladder taken out tomorrow.

First of all does anyone know what the gall bladder does?
And is this a "common" surgery?

Thanks for anyone that has information.
I really don't like seeing my dad like this.
