If I take blood pressure medicines and don’t really need them, will it damage my heart?

I recently changed blood pressure medicines. I also take other medicine for high cholesterol. I notice my hair is getting thinner and falling out a lot more. Could the medicines be causing this? Are there specific drugs that have hair fall out as a common side effect?

I have some moles that I’ve considered removing for a while. I’ve heard that if a mole isn’t suspicious looking or causing any problems, you should leave it alone. Is this true?

I’ve heard a lot lately about probiotics and a healthy bowel. Should I be taking probiotics — or is it in the foods I eat? If not, is taking these in pill form safe?

I normally have a bowel movement about two times a week. But sometimes, the time between is even longer. When I do go, it seems like a lot. Or I’ll go a few times in one day. I eat a lot of fiber and exercise 5 times a week. Could I just have a large colon that takes a while to fill up?

I am a healthy 25-year-old woman. I really don’t have anything wrong with me. How often do I really need to go for a routine check-up?

I felt sharp pains on my right side and below my rib cage. I thought it was menstrual cramps, but I still haven’t gotten my period. What might be causing these pains?

I used to have a LOT of hair, very long and curly. I went through a clinical depression and my hair started falling out -- so much so that I almost have a bald spot on the top part of my head. What can I do to jump start the growth of new hair on my head?
