I am having frequent canker sores, many at a time. They are painful and usually last 2 to 3 weeks. I am concerned it may be Behcet's syndrome. Who should I see to find out, a doctor, dentist or other specialist?

I am recovering from a diverticulitis attack. I am trying to find a listing of foods I should avoid (besides nuts, popcorn, corn, etc). Are there any particular fruits or vegetables I should not eat?

Sixteen years ago, I had an angioplasty and two stents inserted. Five years ago, I had a heart attack and another angioplasty, with two more stents. Since then I’ve been on Plavix and aspirin. I asked my cardiologist if I could stop taking Plavix because it’s expensive. He said OK because it’s been five years since my last angioplasty. If I could afford it, would Plavix be a drug that I could benefit from for my entire life?

I have placenta previa. I stand for long periods at a time and often feel lots of pressure in my lower abdomen and tenderness. Is the placenta previa the cause of this uncomfortable feeling?

I continually find lumps in my breast during self-exams. I have had mammograms and the lumps have not been cancerous. Why do I keep developing these lumps? Is there anything I could do or take to stop them from forming?

I am 57 and in good health. Why would my PSA levels be running high (3 in 2001, 5 in 2003, 9 in 2008)? I have had two biopsies, and they were both negative. I have no prostate problems.

I ordered my medication through an online pharmacy. The pills I received look different than the ones I currently take that I bought at a local pharmacy. Will pills look different depending on what company made them? What steps could I take to make sure the pills I ordered online are the correct type?
