I'm really concerned about my uncle who's 60 years old. He's been occasionally running a fever for the past month and has lost weight. He was 78 kg, but now has reduced a bit over the last few months. The chest CT scan results and AFB test both came back negative. Can you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms?

I'm really worried about my mom's health since she hasn't been feeling too well lately. Could you suggest a comprehensive list of tests for a full body checkup to ensure everything's okay with her health?

The probable cause of your mother's sudden high blood pressure (BP) spike could be: 1. Medication non-adherence or resistance 2. Underlying kidney disease or artery stiffness 3. Hormonal imbalances (e.g., thyroid disorders) 4. Sleep apnea or poor sleep quality 5. Increased sodium intake or fluid retention 6. Stress or anxiety 7. Secondary hypertension due to another medical condition

I'm feeling really tired and drowsy all day, and sometimes I get spells of giddiness. My doctor checked my thyroid and hemoglobin levels, and they came back normal. I'm just wondering what else could be causing these symptoms? Could there be something we're missing?
