Why do I feel foggy, along with having hazy vision and pain across my head and behind the ears?
Hi doctor,
I hit the back of my head against the wall 48 hours back. I did not feel dazed or lose consciousness and felt fine with minimal headache. Since yesterday I started feeling foggy, eyes hazy, headache across the top of the head and behind ears. Clears with the tablet Tylenol. After sleeping overnight, I feel fine, but the symptoms reappeared today around noon. Is it a concussion?
I have a past history of concussions around two years ago. I am taking the tablet Omeprazole, vitamin D supplements, multi-vitamin injection, using Estradiol patch, and probiotics.

Should I be worried about STDs, after two negative tests?
Hi doctor,
How accurate is an STD test after a year time frame? The last time I had intercourse for two and half years, I got tested after three months, and the results came back negative. Then I tried again after a year, and it came out negative. Should I be worried? Or I do not need to take the stress. Please suggest.

Can intermittent diarrhea with abdominal pain be due to IBS?
Hello doctor,
I am a 25-year-old female with symptoms of intermittent diarrhea associated with crampy abdominal pain relieved by defecation. I noticed that diarrhea started maybe around four years ago. At first, the abdominal pain will usually occur after food intake (I could not find a particular pattern or food trigger). The stool was usually watery with some small formed pieces and 2 to 3 episodes of blood. However, diarrhea has become more persistent and occurs more often, even with food that does not usually cause diarrhea. I also noted some blood in the stool 2 to 3 times. My regular bowel movements before this are not regular. I usually defecate 2 to 3 times a week. Currently, I am on the medication Althea (Hibiscus) for PCOS. I have a family history of colon cancer (grandmother), lung cancer (uncle on my mother's side), and hypertension (mother and grandfather).
