I am a student. My age is 18. No previous history of any therapy. I studied in a boys only school. I feel girls are too attractive. I love their scantly dressed pictures in page 4 of news papers. I dont know why I puncture their pictures on newspaper pages. I have lots of sexual fantacies involving house maids, teachers and other attractive females whom I come across. I feel I am not able to concentrate on my studies due to this factor. I watch pornographic internet material as well. My parents are concerned about my below par performance in studies. My query is, are there methods which will help me in controlling my sexuality so thaty that does not interfere with my other aspects of life.

i had the flu/fever for 4 days, got better, then developed a sinus infection 2 days later. I went to my doctor and she prescribed me the 10 day antibiotic amoxicillin for my sinus infection. I have been taking it for 3 days now but the first day I was on it I got that wispy feeling in my throat that you get just before you get a cough. The next day I started lightly coughing. The next day I started a deeper cough and I could feel it may have traveled to my lungs. Today is slightly better but I still have congestion and a cough. Also throughout my entire 2 weeks so far of being sick, there has been a sore-like pain throughout my left arm, particularily my triceps brachi long head, flexor carpi ulnaris, and also the top of my rectus abdominis right under my diaphragm. What is wrong with me?

Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint the wispy feeling in throat and coughing is due to irritation in throat that initiates bouts of vigorous coughing and due to coughing there can be pain in chest due to muscle stretching while coughing. It seems like you have an upper respiratory tract infection and all the symptoms are due to it, and you need not worry as body aches or muscle pain and cough and congestion are due to it. You should take a course of antibiotics like Augmenting or azithromycin or levofloxacin, take Tylenol for raised body temperature and body pain, take decongestants like Phenylephrine and do warm saline gargles, steam inhalations, saline nasal irrigation and suck throat lozenges. Chat Doctor. . Take ample of rest. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.

My daughter is nine and she has quite a fatty mons pubis which she says is quite painful in particular the mornings. It has always been quite large for her age but has steadily gotten bigger. What do you think may be causing the appearance and the pain?
|
Fatty Mons pubis is usually due to fat deposition over bone which doesn't respond to exercise. It's a genetic make of the body which should not be an actual cause of pain in your daughter.It's important to rule out other reasons such as urinary tract infection or menstruation related pains (if a case of early puberty). Also check for any local site infection. Procedures like liposuction and surgery not recommended for this condition usually.

Hi, My mom (Age-61) is having epilepsy and depression since 30 years now. The medicines that she takes have reduced the the intensity of the convulsions but she do have mild-moderate epileptic fits once or twice every month. We stay in Thane,Maharashtra and our neurologist is in Pune. So regular visits to the doctor becomes difficult. We had tried other neurologists from around Thane, but didnt find any good one. Can you please suggest a good neurologist around thane. Regards Satadru

Hi. I have a 1 year old son. I am still breastfeeding my baby but I still find it hard to find a better milk for him. He is not gaining weight very well. I tried Nan-HW and Gain but he does not like the taste. So, I tried Progress Gold and I was very happy that he liked it. From time to time, he wanted to drink milk. But unfortunately, there is an effect. He is passing just small amount of watery stool like 3x a day (no other signs and symptoms noted). He is doing fine and does things normally like he used to. No irritability noted. Is it a bad side effect? Should I stop giving her Progress Gold? I am just worried. Thanks.
|
Hi...if child is liking and accepting adequate quantity of progress gold, you can continue. Passing stool 3 times a day is not a problem. Now you start adding vegetables, fruit juices and biscuits and rice one at a time once in a week.don't worry and follow above suggestion. If you are happy with my suggestion kindly rate me. Regards - Chat Doctor.

Dear parent, by your description it seems to me that your daughter is having absence measures. EEG may be normal initially. But to be on safer side with the growth in occipital area, you should be vigilant and take her to a neurologist.

I have a problem with TMJ and have not been able to eat for about 4 weeks. I put everything in the blender. Chicken, Veggie, Rice, ect. I believe that I have a balance diet , but all my food is liquified. Not have soar gums. Is it because I am not eating normally? In other words, not chewing my food and just gulping it down because it is blended.
|
Hi, you are suffering from TMJ joint pain due to which you are unable to chew food properly. There are many exercises which can be taught by a physiotherapist to relax the muscles, you can also apply hot packs over the joint area, can also take some good muscle relaxants. Visit a good physiotherapist to learn exercises and get routine checkup done regularly by dentist. Avoid opening your mouth too wide. Take care

I am 39 weeks pregnant. I have been using Mederma Stretch Mark Therapy. But I just noticed that it has hyaluronic acid in it. What effects can this ingredient have on the baby?
|
Hi there,Do not worry, using hyaluronic acid on the skin will not affect your baby in any way, and it need not concern you. The medications are applied to decrease the number and thickness of stretch marks, the stretch marks are very common in pregnancy especially during the first pregnancy. The number and thickness of stretch vary for different women and whether they become light with treatment cannot be predicted. Hope this helps. Regards.

My 14 month old son tripped and fell face first on hard tile....he hit his nose primarily....there was a small streak of blood with the snot that came out of his nose as he cried very hard and swelling of the bridge of his nose. I took him to the pediatrician right away and while tough to examine him because he was fighting her she said she didnt see any blood pooling or a deviated septum. What are the chances these could develop over the next few days and should I have him double checked by an ENT?
|
Hi... I suggest that you get him evaluated by an ENT surgeon and get nasal X-rays too to be doubly sure about the septal deviation. But if you get it evaluated after the swelling comes down then it will be even easier and authentic. Regards -

About a month and a half ago, I came down with a dry cough for a couple days which turned into a productive cough. The phlegm produced was light yellow to light green at times, and often worse in the morning and early evening. I began taking Mucinex and ibuprofen to help with sleeping and congestion. The Mucinex made the cough more productive and I was able to expel some of the congestion;however, I often felt a tightness in my throat and upper chest after coughing fits. I have no history of asthma or other lung conditions. I have never had bronchitis . The main thing concerning me is the while the productive aspect of the cough has discontinued, I still have this nagging dry cough at night that keeps me from getting to sleep and staying asleep. I have no nasal congestion or sore throat , but do occasionally have headaches during the day above both eyes that come and go when heading outside. I occasionally hear a bubbling or gurggle in the back of my throat on expiration. I have not seen a doctor because a summer cold has been circulating, and I really don t feel bad otherwise. Any thoughts...?

You had an attack of respiratory tract infection which may even have gone down to your lungs. Though the infection is cured, you have developed `Hyper Reactive Airway Disease` which is a known occurrence. You should take frequent nebulization with also and decor and take airport inhalers 2 puffs 2 to 3 times a day. You may also take a tablet of doxyphyllin400 twice a day for some time. The symptoms should disappear in due course of time. If symptoms persist despite these measures, you may have to undergo some tests for which you should consult a pulmonologist.

Hi, About 4 years ago, I experienced the worst pain in the right side of my face (I was out of work for 3 days straight). My cheek ached, but would also go kind of numb at times. Every time I swallow, it feels like there is a tooth or something hard in my adenoids. I have had so many tests done and the doctors all say "nothing is there". I know there is though. How can this sensation hang on for so long? Is it possible that a wisdom tooth or something has grown towards my sinuses?
|
HiT hanks for writing in. It could be due to upper right wisdom teeth. You go for OPG to rule out the exact position of third molar. Take a course of analgesic & antibiotic for temporary relief. Also do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. Consult your dentist for further treatment plan. Regards

I have had a tongue ring for over 4 years now and have never had any issue- last night after eating I noticed a large round sore solid lump on the top left side of my tongue. It has been less than 24 hours but it is still large and sore when touched. Otherwise I have no other symptoms as of yet. Can you advise as to what this may be or if I should see a doctor?
|
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You need an examination. Then you should go for scrap cytology or biopsy if needed. Then consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.

My 21 year old son has shingles. The rash is from his back all the way around to his stomach. Huge blisters and a lot of pain. Is there any home remedy that can help with the excruciating pain? He has tylenol with codeine, but it doesn t help at all, and he can t sleep.
|
I've had shingles, so I know how awful it can be. He should also be on an oral antiviral medication such as acyclovir or Acyclovir at least at the beginning of the outbreak. If he cants sleep even with the Tylenol with codeine, consider talking with his doctor for nerve pain management such as with gabapentin or amitriptyline. The latter is also quite sedating. Usually gabapentin or amitriptyline is used after the rash has gone if there is residual pain.

Hi, I have had a really bad cough for four weeks now. It started with long coughing fits in the day and these have reduced but have been added to by coughing fits at night which feel like they go on for ever. Also during these I cannot breathe in which initially caused me to panic but I found I could breathe in if I calmed down but this took some time. Chemist gave me a Ventolin inhaler to open airways during attack which helped a bit. Also I have an almost constant tickling sensation in the back of my throat and at night for the last week my chest has felt tight - ventolin inhaler has helped relieve this. Finally I feel like something is stuck in the right hand side of my throat but cant normally cough it up as cough is generally unproductive, except first thing in the morning when I am able to cough up some clear phlegm but also tend to vomit as well. Occasional dry mouth at night doesnt help. Really getting fed up with this now - went to doctors two weeks ago who thought I had the after effects of a viral chest infection and thought it would all clear up within a week - now two weeks on there is no sign of this. Can you advise? Thanks

Hi and thank you for choosing Chat Doctor to post your health concern. I read carefully your question and my opinion is as follows:From what you describe it seems to me that all these paroxysms of intense coughing lasting up to several minutes, the tendency to vomit after cough(possessive vomiting) and the duration of cough(4 weeks) match with the clinical presentation of pertussis infection. I don't know about your vaccination status (incomplete or absent pertussis vaccination)Pertussis is a respiratory infection that lasts about six weeks, starting with a catarrh phase followed by a paroxysmal phase and convalescent phase. Vaccinated adults usually develop only prolonged bronchitis. Treatment usually involves an antibiotic, but it only helps if administered in the first or second week of symptoms. In your situation Ventolin inhaler that your doctor prescribed helps to reduce the paroxysms and would help also if you start antitussives such as dextrometorphan, codeine.another less possibility of your health problems is even the beginning of an asthma since very frequently it can be precipitated from a viral infection. It would help me to support this if I would have a well given medical history(allergies, familiar history of asthma)and physical examination Spirometry is useful for diagnosis and the treatment need to be guided by its value. I hope my opinion is help to you. Wish you good health. Kind regards Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have been fatigued to a greater degree than usual for over a month now, after some sort of flu virus. I hurt all over when someone touched me, but that seems a little better now, but my back still hurts. Blood tests show high ldl and high hdl , and glucose intolerance. I also have mild asthma-like symptoms although I have never been an asthmatic. Sometimes my legs feel heavy and its hard to move around, and sometimes this symptom goes away. My back always feels sort of uncomfortable all over. I am also gaining weight without trying, 72 kilos now, after being overweight at 67 kilos for a few years, big waist circumference . I am a 55 year old woman, married, and quite content really. Is this fatigue just virus related?

My daughter 25 yrs old was diagonised of Kikuchi in june2012. even now she is getting intermittent fever with flu like syndrome(appro every month). Now she is on HCQS and naprosyn twice daily. her ANA test is negative. Is this kikuchi or lupus?Please tell me what are the conditions that may cause a flare in lupus? is diet responsible? during times of fever she loses her cool and feels dejected. Rest of the month she seems to be normal .Does she need a physchological counselling?Kindly advice.
|
Hai People with kimchis like presentation can evolve into lupus, but usually they are positive for ANA. Instead of psychological counselling you can give her some pep talks to increase her morale. Most likely it looks like a kimchis only unless she through out some new manifestations later.

Doctor wont give injecton earlier i cantmo
|
You'll need documentation on that by x-ray and various opinions by physicians to get disability and even then it's not easy. Would also be a reason to be on anti-inflammatories like at least naproxen, and there are some very expensive injectable medicines that can really lower PA.

hi doctor. Im 26 years old, my husband and me want a baby. This month I have missed my period. My last PMS was 31st July 2013. I went for a check up to a doctor to check if I was pregnant, but the doctor said that my endometrium thickness is 7mm after missing my period. He said that there is no chance that I have conceived this time. is it true?.
|
Helloplease don't be stressed. Just by looking at the endometrial thickness it is not really possible to say if u had conceived or not. A blood test and serial follow up would be more appropriate. Further then a couple of other tests would need to be done to see if there's any problem with your fertility.

My name is Mina. I m 24 yrs old and I weight 111lbs. I went into the vitamin shop yesterday to find products to help burn fat and built. I specifically told the sale rep that I did not want anything that made me feel cracked out or gives shakes and hitters and he handed me OxyElite. I took one pill as directed and within an hour my heart pounding out of my chest for almost 6 hours straight. I developed a sharp pain on my left side of my chest right about my breast and today it feels like my upper chest area is so sore. I would like to know what caused my entire pectoral muscle to be so sore now? And what can I do to relieve or heal the soreness? And should I have seemed medical attention due to what I was felt for the duration of time? Should I still seek medical attention today?

Hello, It is not advised to take any sort of medicine for weight loss without consulting a doctor. These products in market have various adverse effects which can be severe at times with long term issues. I advise you to stop taking it and seek medical help for the same. There are different ways to lose weight which include exercising and getting a diet plan from dietitian. It will take time but it's a healthy way to lose weight. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Two weeks ago I was stung by a young yellow jacket on my left inner forearm 2 inches above my wrist. After 10 days of pain and itching, rash and swelling, it finally went away. Two days ago it began aching in the same spot, and it hurts even more when I touch it from the outside but it s not on the skin surface. Tonight it s slightly raised from under-the-skin swelling and the raised surface is about the size of a small egg.
|
Hello dearWelcome to Chat Doctor family. I have evaluated your query in depth.@ This seems to be post-traumatic hematoma formation.@ Recommendations for better recovery $ Ice pack applications 3 times a day. $ Keep the part clean with antiseptic liquids. $ Ben Chat Doctor. $ Consultation further with a high resolution photograph of it would be of great help to comment for the need of antibiotic or further check up with doctor. Hope this will help you. Welcome anytime for any type of doubts. Regards dear take care.

My boyfriend is in mexico, he suffers from stomach pain, bloatting etc constatntly, the dictors havent say that he has parasites, but a friend in mexico told him to take quinfamida just in case. Is it safe? I prefer to wait until he comes back to see the doctor, but he is very uncomfortable and needs to work

Hi thanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor. Quinafamide is an effective Chat Doctor. This is effective if he has documented parasitic infestations. But it is safe to use quinafamide as a presumptive management. I recommend your boyfriend to undergo upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to evaluate further. Meawhile tab Panto 40 mg can be helpful. Consult an expert Gastroenterologist for further assistance.thank you.

Hello, I had gone through the case and found that you must again go for pregnancy test. If negative then consult to gynecologist because it might be hormonal imbalance. Hope my answer will be effective for you. Thanks

Yesterday while at work I noticed out of the blue a small swollen knot the size of a marble on my left arm, in the middle between my wrist and elbow...on the same side as the back of my hand....it did not hurt..but I could roll it around and it was very scary to both myself and my coworkers...they suggested that I go to the emergency room, as one employee believed it was a blood clot in my vein...about 20 minutes later...it went down completely...today the skin there looks like a super super light bruise....should I seek a doctor for examination....not sure if I should be concerned....I am 39 years old and female
|
Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor! The knot, being a colored one, must be related to blood most probably blood clot within a vein as some of your co-workers mentioned! You might have some unnoticed injury, pressure, hit or deficiency of some blood component! Please see your physician for some blood works and direct relevant physical examination and further advises! Please revert to us if any more queries are there; wishing you good health!

I just went running this afternoon (as per usual on Saturdays), and now I have returned home and I ve got this weird, hollow spasm-ish feeling in my upper chest. It s not right where my heart is (no irregular beats, I don t think), it s more like it s right at the top of my chest. where my collar bone meets my chest plate. It doesn t really hurt, it s just unsettling. What might this be?
|
Hello, It could be a simple muscle spasm. As a first line management, you can take analgesics/antispasmodic combination like diclofenac/baclofen for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My husband is a PD patient. Been on it for ten months. Had a cortisone shot in his knee last week. Has had complications with high blood sugar, diarrhea, dizzy and weakness. His dialysis is not working as well, lower UF. Have called his nurse, told to increase strength of dialysis fluids, helped at first but now back to low numbers with continued afore mentioned problems.
|
Hi and thanks for the query, I am afraid a patient with problems with dialysis malfunction needs to be treated with utmost care. Considering he is a PD patient, with a high blood sugar, certainly not well controlled blood glucose, this again increases the risk of aggravating the kidney disease and other metabolic conditions. A combination of these two pathologies non their own could be very detrimental. Cortisone, a steroid especially when given in a diabetic and patient with chronic kidney disease, the patient has to be carefully monitored. I strongly suggest you consult a nephrologist or book an appointment with a nephrologist and take your husband to the emergency room for reevaluation and initial management. Thanks and best regards, Bain LE, MD.

I was diagnosed with blood clots in my lungs two months ago and went on Warfarin. This was a result of surgery from a neck fusion in July. Below is what is going on with me. I am experiencing intense pain in my legs, calves, feet, and toes; pain, numbness, and tingling in hands and fingers; blood in my stools- tonight it seems to be more of a jelly-like consistency with light red blood; muscle pain; severe headaches; fatigue. My pain gets progressively more intense at nighttime. My main concern is that, even though I am on 4 mg warfarin, that I am still forming clots. I am not pleased or confident with my doctors care. Any thoughts? Thank you. Julie
|
The most common reason for developing blood clots in vasculature of lungs is any embolic, formed in the leg veins due to stasis cause by immobility for a prolonged period, dislodging and reaching the lungs via the right heart. The legs symptoms may be due to problem in the leg vessels. And the blood in stools can be due to enhanced bleeding tendency due to Warfarin. The monitoring of dose of warfarin is recommended by doing frequent INRS. And the legs' vasculature needs a thorough check-up by a color Doppler test of the lower limbs

Hi, I have wisdom tooth pain in my top line and dentist suggested to remove it. Is there any other way that I can solve this problem ?
|
Hi, Wisdom teeth usually erupt within 18-25 years of age. Sometimes it may be impacted in an abnormal position which can result in pain and infection. An OPG X-ray can determine the exact position of the tooth. Then a surgical removal of the tooth is required. Medications can only relieve the pain for a short period of time. A permanent solution is surgical removal of the tooth.

My husband was elbowed in the chest while playing basketball. About an hour later that area started to hurt and looked swollen and slightly bruised. He had trouble breathing because of the pain. It has been 12 days since that happened, and it is somewhat improved, but not gone. He has a physically demanding job, which is probably not helping it heal. He would like to know if it is necessary to go to the doctor.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your husbands situation and problem. Your husband is having blunt chest trauma due to elbow hit. In my opinion he should get done chest x-ray first to rule out rib fracture, pneumothorax and Pulmonary contusions. All these are complications of blunt chest trauma and cause chest pain with breathing difficulty. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about these. He is mostly having musculoskeletal pain. Ask him to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep and painful movements. 3. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant. 4. Apply warm water pad on affected site. Don't worry, he will be alright in 1-2 weeks.

36 year-old male. I was diagnosed with a UTI yesterday and began antibiotics. The burning at urination has improved significantly, but I m now getting a soreness (not pain) in my tailbone and upper-back legs. I ve also had some flu-like symptoms over the past 20 hours.Is it safe to assume that the antibiotic is working because the burning is nearly gone? Or should I be concerned about the soreness popping up now?
|
Hello, Soreness is likely because of inflammatory response of body due to infection, as burning has improved it means antibiotic is working and infection is in settling phase. Take plenty of fluids and paracetamol tablet for a couple of days, soreness will settle. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am having a slight discomfort on the left side of my stomach just below the breast area. When I press on a certain area, it feels like there is a small bruise within the ribs. This is also accompanied by numbness that is only on the left side of my stomach area. Any suggestions?
|
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that this can be due to vitamin B 12 deficiencies. I would recommend you to get your serum B12 estimation and also ECG and cardiac checkup. If there is abnormal ECG then you need to take opinion of the cardiologist. If there is vitamin B 12 deficiencies then you need to take Methylcobal one daily. That will improve your tingling and numbness. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

My daughter will be 7 months old on the 10th, shes had a runny nose and a small cough for about a month. She gets cold swears a lot but is never running a fever. Her doctor gave her medicine for a runny nose and congestion but no antibiotics. Is there something I can give her to get rid if it all.
|
Hi... Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. NO NEED FOR ANTIBIOTICS. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. For cold, you can use Cetirizine at 0.25 mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days. For nasal block, plain saline nasal

Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern I would like to explain that "trivial" means non-important. The normal heart may have physiological insignificant valve regurgitation; this is not considered abnormal. So, nothing to worry about. Hope to have been helpful to you. Greetings!

My dad had a stint put in in October. Hes felt chest compressions and tightness in his chest the last few days. Last night he said it felt like his heart was leaking.... Does this make sense? He wont go to the dr. because he went Monday and the dr set up a stress test, but it isnt until March.
|
Hello, Brief answer: This is a false sensation, but anginal pain should be checked. Explanation: My opinion is that shortly after percutaneous coronary intervention many people experience some chest discomfort or a sensation of leaking heart, but these all are false senses. If your dad is experiencing some chest pain like the ones he experienced before that would be an issue. I suggest my patients the following: to be adherent to the anti-ischemic medications like Aspirin, Plavix, etc., and avoid any stress or over exertion. Conclusion: I suggest you not to be alarmed by such simple complaint. Stick to medications. Only chest pain, sweating, and nausea are the red alarm complaint that you should go the ER. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

### Question: My dad had a stint put in in October. Hes felt chest compressions and tightness in his chest the last few days. Last night he said it felt like his heart was leaking.... Does this make sense? He wont go to the dr. because he went Monday and the dr set up a stress test, but it isnt until March.
### Answer: Hello, Brief answer: This is a false sensation, but anginal pain should be checked. Explanation: My opinion is that shortly after percutaneous coronary intervention many people experience some chest discomfort or a sensation of leaking heart, but these all are false senses. If your dad is experiencing some chest pain like the ones he experienced before that would be an issue. I suggest my patients the following: to be adherent to the anti-ischemic medications like Aspirin, Plavix, etc., and avoid any stress or over exertion. Conclusion: I suggest you not to be alarmed by such simple complaint. Stick to medications. Only chest pain, sweating, and nausea are the red alarm complaint that you should go the ER. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

After taking progesterone, you need to wait longer, maximum at least 2 weeks. If no periods after that, you need further evaluation by the gynecologist including the pregnancy test.

I am a 30 year old woman with no health conditions but that of ADHD. I have been taking Adderall 30 mg for about 2 months now, but have been on adderall for 6 months. I sit and stand at work I m a nurse. For the past year I have noticed a heavy, burning and irritating sensation in my legs particurlaly in my left leg. I have noticed some spider veins and one vericose vein on my left leg which seems to hurt a lot. But theres this swelling sensation that I get throughout the day and I feel it so much that I find myself taking my shoes off throughout the day. Can someone tell me if this can be linked to the adderall or ADHD medication Vyvanse ( the vyvanse was the fisrt med prescribed when diagnosed with ADHD in August of 2010).
|
Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to varicose veins. I suggest using compression stockings and maintain the legs elevated. I also suggest regular exercise and a healthy diet. If the symptoms continue, another possible treatment is chemotherapy. You should consult your GP about this treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Burping to relieve mild pressure in heart area, like there is something there. Breathing fine. On high blood pressure mess, vasotec and triameterene. I have ASD, having echo Doppler tomorrow. Is this angina? Im female 50, generally good health n fit.
|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would like to explain that your symptoms are not related to any cardiac disorder (including angina). The symptoms you refer, may be related to a gastric disorder, like gastritis or dyspepsia. Anxiety could also mimic a similar symptomatology (due to phenomena of air swallowing related to anxiety). I recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy if the problem persists or is associated to heart burn.Meanwhile, I would recommend not to worry about it and having a healthy diet, avoid spicy food and take plenty of water. Hope to have been helpful! Best regards,

hi i am 25 year old female from india i have hole in my heart from childhood now i am consulting with a doctor and he suggest me penigra 25 mg pills once in a day i want to know its work with this problem becouse i heard that this tablet can be use for sex only
|
Hi, Yes, these tablets are usually sold for sex, but it has another function, which is now used widely in medicine. It can lower the pressure in pulmonary artery. It is the vessel taking blood from the heart to the lungs. High pressures in that vessel may develop in patients with heart defects, such as yours, so we prescribe this medication, to decrease the pressure there. However, if the pressure went up in your pulmonary artery, I would recommend you to talk to your doctor about the possibility of the surgery. Wishing you a good health. In case of any further questions don't hesitate to contact me.

I have VERY PAINFUL SUBCUTANEOUS IMPLANTS causing intermittent electrical pain. I have one in my scalp under my skin and one in my arm. I have had a very severe head injury years ago and I have been in constant pain ever since. Now I may have small patch of skin cancer in the exact same spot. I had a large, about dime size supposed basal cell skin cancer removed from my arm near my shoulder last year. It left a RED CIRCLE and still hurts with a small lump underneath. THE ELECTRICAL PAIN started after I had several root canals. This is no joke I feel as if I am being tortured with all this pain. My wife, sons, and even our pets have experienced very strange symptoms such as high pitched sounds and very sharp unexplainable pains. My whole family is SUFFERING and I know that we are targeted individuals. What can we do?
|
I know I can't soothe you. But the fact is that there is no relation between root canals and the pain and this should be considered a mere coincidence. Why don't you get a check-up of your implants done for their proper functioning

My daughter is 4 years old and she was riding her bike inside the house she hit the wall and when she went forward the bar Handelof the bike then hit her upper right chest and now it seems to be bruising and has a bump which is now getting bigger. What should I do?
|
Hi.based from your description, the lump could be secondary to the trauma she recently had. It could only be an inflammatory reaction, wherein swelling ensues and will subside eventually in a few days time. Fibrous tissue formation may also be occurring especially on the area that was injured, hence the appearance of the bump. A consult with her doctor is best for clinical evaluation. Observation and analgesics may be given for now. If the signs and symptoms persist for more than a week, diagnostics (such as X-ray) and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

hi my sister is 60 yrs old with diabetes she had heart bypass surgery 5 weeks ago three days ago they took a culture of her wound there was a lot of fluid in wound. The test came back moderate Proteus Mirabilis, her blood test showed elevated white blood cells how serious is this
|
Unlikely to be a serious concern. After surgery, white blood cell counts normally raises in the blood to prevent or limit the spread of infection. Addition of a culture sensitive antibiotic to treatment regimen might be needed as per advice of treating doctor. Hope I have answered your query.

My aunt (aged 51) has been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer in Stage 4. Doctors are advising radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy. They also doubt whether she can withstand radiation therapy since she is too weak and weighing only 35 kgs. Is there any other treatment available? How long is the life expectancy?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Cancer is a difficult condition to treat and if your aunt has stage 4 cancer then survival even with the best care can vary from 6 months to two years. It is important to know the exact area of cancer involvement. Cancer in esophagus happens due to the growth extending in to the lumen and then proliferating to cause obstruction to ingested foods. Surgery cannot be done at this stage and therefore radiation therapy has been recommended by her doctors. To increase passage of flow through the cancer area, you can discuss with your doctors if she can be given monitored doses of radiation followed by inserting a metallic stent to cause improvement in swallowing. Radiation is best and chemotherapy may be even more difficult for her in this case. Please do not worry.

hi ! i have wheatisChatDoctorplexion .i used cosmelite and it helped me to become fairer.i am using regular sunscreen.but my skin becomes darker when i stop to use cosmelite and also in winters. i want to ask should i need to use cosmelite for lifetime.
|
Hello Kristi, welcome to Chat Doctor.I will be glad to be of assistance. Cosmelite cannot be used lifelong. In fact, it should be used for a maximum of 3-4 months not more than that. I will recommend that you use glycolic acid 6% cream on full face every night. That will also cause evening out of your skin tone and a bright complexion. The sunscreen has to be reapplied once every 4 hours. That will ensure good efficacy of the sunscreen. Hope my recommendations are useful to you. Please let me know if you have any queries.

I have bipolar disorder, a few anxiety disorders, panic attacks and chronic fatigue syndrome. The panic attacks come between the mania and depressed cycles. They last 4 to 6 weeks. Each day I have one, they last from 3 to 4 hours or the whole day. Sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night and find myself attached to the ceiling because the attack was there immediatly when I wake up. These 4 to 6 weeks happen 4 times a year. Recently I have noticed that Adderall makes them go away. Ive only tried it the last couple of days so the trial is not very well documented. I will expierment again today because although it is only 6:30 am I am getting a panic attack. In your work do you use Adderall for pnic attacks?
|
His had gone through your query. Aderall has limited use in depression or bipolar disorder. It won't reduce anxiety or panic attack. If you have bipolar depression with panic attack then medicines like SSRI will Be choice. In SSRI paroxetine/sertraline/Escitalopram will be useful ion panic attack and depression. Anxiolytic like Mizoram and clonazepam will help to reduce acute attack, and it will be taken as and when required. Consult psychiatrist and discuss all this options. Take medicine after proper consultation with a doctor. Get well soon. Still if you have query then feel free to ask me directly on http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

Hi DoctorMy mother has undergone surgery for breast cancer 15 days ago. Drs have removed the entire breast and had sent it for testing. Today we got to know it was 3rd stage cancer..What will happen now? Is that curable? Request you to kindly guide me..
|
Stage 3 breast cancer is curable. Treatment will be guided by the patients age and the tumors' estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and Her2 new receptor status. Stage 3 requires chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy. If the Her2 new receptor status is positive then she will be given Herceptin (trastuzumab) as well which is a biological therapy. And if her estrogen or progesterone receptor status is positive then she will be given hormone therapy for a minimum duration of 5 years as well. This is just a sketch of the treatment. You can discuss it with your treating oncologist.

I have nodules on the lower part of my chest bone on the left side. I have a needle biopsy scheduled next week. Any ideas what this could be? Is this biopsy painful and will it prevent me from doing anythng afterwards? How long are the results delayed?
|
Hi. Nodule on the lower chest bone on one side can be a lipoma or any sort of cyst. It is a good decision to go for FNAC. Believe me, FNAC is totally a painless procedure done on an OLD basis, where you are supposed to g for your work immediately. The results are given on the same or the next day depending upon the work-load on the Laboratory / Pathologist.

Losing memory . I can follow directions during a :checkout: time but am not self so I am told. but have no recollection of it. HELP PLEASE :(
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. It appears that you are getting seizures due to the hypertension, and there also may be atherosclerosis. It should be confirmed that the hypertension is always under control, and never touching the higher reading. I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have a C.T.scan, and E.E.G. for diagnosis. Avoid taking the Chat Doctor. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

My daughter has had low abdominal pain with indigestion, we have been to the er a few times and they have done cat scans and ultrasounds. They said she has free fluid in the low peritoneal cavity and thought she had PID. None of her cultures came back positive and she has been on antibiotics for several days with no improvement
|
Dear Ma'am, Sorry to hear about your daughters' problem. You should also get a urine culture done as PID is often associated with urinary infection and that is often neglected.Also, PID and UTI require a prolonged course of antibiotics (for at least 5-7 days). If her pain is still persisting, she should also undergo an abdominal ultrasound, which will give information about the rest of the abdomen as well. Hoping for the best.

Hi how are you? I am in a lot of pain. I have been having abdominal pain for about 2 weeks now. t is severe pain. Started out in my lower abdomen and then increased to the left side. Now it is all over (abdomen) and sometimes in my shoulder. It hurts to walk. I cant sleep properly because it hurts to lay down. When i walk fast or take a deep breath my insides hurt. It almost feels as though my insides are crushed. My stomach feels like its swollen. The pain is very very bad. Do you know what this can be? I have went to the doctor. The gave me an ultrasound and i am suppose to go Friday to profound on it.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. I wonder how is it possible that with such a classical history suggestive of peritonitis you are not yet admitted and investigated faster. This is a classical history of peritonitis, wherein one gets pain even on walking and on lying down as your history says so. Shoulder pain and all history is suggestive of a serious condition inside the abdomen unless until proved. I would advise such a patient to get admitted and kept on intravenous fluids and antibiotics. Patient should not take anything orally. Investigations include- ultrasonography / CT scan of abdomen if there is a doubt or to confirm the findings of Ultrasonography. Hologram to see for hemoglobin and whit cell count. Urine - stool tests Standing X-ray of the abdomen to see for gas under diaphragm, Surgery if required anytime

hi i am 21 years old girl a medical a third year mbbs studenthave got severe pain in abdomen around umblicus i have been prescribed metrogyl compound but no change
|
Hi Sana, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Pain around umbilicus which shifts to right Iliad Fossa, is typical of Appendicitis. You have not mentioned whether your Stool examination was done prior to starting Metro, because it is the Chat Doctor. If you do not have Amoebas, metro alone is of little value. Better get an Ultrasound Study done as well as routine blood test to rule out infection (Appendicitis), since Total count of WBC of more than 11000 with necrophilia is indicative of infection. Of course a surgeon can also provisionally diagnose appendicitis by eliciting rebound tenderness at McBirney Point. It is prudent to avoid blind treatment. As far as possible a firm diagnosis supported by investigations is ideal, before starting any treatment, exception being relieving the patients' agony by immediate management of that agony. Wish you speedy recovery.

My 2 and half years old daughter is suffering with severe eczema. She was born at 23rd week of my pregnancy weighing 1 pound only. Her skins is very dry and nothing we are doing seems to help. She seems to be allergic to everything under the sun. We mainly feed her milk and sometimes she is able to tolerate rice foods. Do you suggest any home remedies for the VERY dry skin and itching. She can not sleep in the night due to itching and since yesterday she is jerking/shivering in her sleep and while she is awake. Any advice?

Hi, im a 21 year old college student and i was diagnosed with Chrons when I was bout 11. I was recently hospitalized for about a week due to severe left side pain, nausea, and vomiting. My GI doctor perscribed me prednisone but i havent seen any change. I can barely keep any foods down and my stomach is very swollen to where i cant button my pants. Its hard to be in college and to constantly throw up all day. For some reason, the only thing that tends to stay down is crackers, but i cant see myself surviving off crackers for the rest of my life. Any advice? Please help
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The prednisone was to try to reduce the inflammation in the bowel by suppressing the immune response but if it is not helping there are other immune suppressant medications that can be used. You should go to your doctor for a review so he or she can change to medication to another that may be able to help you. There are over the counter agents that may help with the swelling (if linked to bloating) and the vomiting e.g. Chat Doctor.

I have had a problem with my eyelids and the area above them swelling for the past few years. I assume thisight be an allergy symptom. It doesn t happen all the time. Recently I ve connected it to staying in hotels with the air conditioner running. Is it perhaps a reaction to mold in the AC unit? Might it also be the bedding or chemicals used to clean the bedding? It only occurs when I lie down in the bed. If I am up late, the swelling does not happen.
|
Hello, Mould allergy aggravated by AC units is a good possibility but hotel rooms are notorious to harbor dust mites and dust allergy would be likely. Skin tests to molds, dusts, cockroach need to be done to exclude these allergies. If you are using any eye mascara or facial cleaning products, you need to get a patch test in order to exclude a delayed chemical hypersensitivity. Skin prick tests and patch tests are different, so you need to see an Allergist or a Dermatologist to sort this out.

Hi, my question is Do I have a biopsy of the liver to find out what unknown bumps or growths are. No one has seen these before they are not the normal looking cancer or non cancer bumps. I also do not have a Portal vein attached to the liver and they dont know it has been functioning for 16 years without it.
|
Hi thanks for asking question. Noted you have growth in liver since long duration. If you are smoking and having history of OC pills then liver hematoma like growth may present. So if in USG it is vascular then care taken while doing biopsy. Here it can be simple adenoid. It could be chronic inflammatory or infective condition. So after examination and according to suspicion USG guided biopsy can be taken to differentiate whether it is about infection, inflammatory or tumor condition. If you have bleeding and coagulation disorder then biopsy can be done very carefully. Wish you good health. Take care

My husband is an organic farmer that lifts HEAVY 100# coolers to the truck for market and as of this morning he had pain below is sternum and did not eat or feel well all day. Thought it was a muscle strain or tear. By 6PM the pain was in the lower right side with some nausea and he is weak I do not think he has a fever. I pushed down on the right lower abdomen and then release fast and he said it was tender pushing down but not on the release. We live 35 miles from a hospital and hate to take him in if not necessary. Thank you
|
HI. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. You have posted the history as if you have read from the book : viz: The pain which starts in the upper abdomen and then shifts to the right lower side of the abdomen with or without fever or associated symptoms and now with rebound tenderness is to be taken as an attack of appendicitis unless proved otherwise. I would advise you to take him to the ER / Hospital Undertake blood, urine and ultrasonography. If proved to be appendicitis, go for surgery ASAP.

Hi. Thank you for your question. Let me assure you are fine and need not panic. Pain in the abdomen after intake of alcohol can be due to many causes particularly Acute episode of pancreatitis, Peptic ulcer, etc. I will advise you to your surgeon at the earliest and get investigations to rule out pancreatitis or peptic ulcer disease. To my patients i advice following 1)Investigations:Complete Blood Counter Amylase and Lipase2) Avoid Alcohol and Smoking3)Avoid intake of Fatty diet4)Avoid taking Aspirin for Pain.5) Intake plenty of water.6) To relieve pain you can take Antacids and Analgesics.

Hi, my name is Sierra. I am 16 years old and am taking the depo shot for birth control. I have had 3 shots. My last one being just Monday. The past month or so I have been having very irregular bleeding. Also having bad cramps. The last two weeks I have been bleeding lightly and brown blood nonstop. The cramps hurt very bad but only in the pelvic region. What should I do? Im worried since the bleeding has been going on for two weeks.
|
Video is a progesterone hormone given as injections for contraception once in 12 weeks. Menstrual irregularity is a popular side effect of it. Better you should have a gynecology consultation soon. Prolonged use of demo can cause even osteoporosis. As you are so young it is not desirable to continue this. Hope this may help you. Thanks

Hi i have feeling heaviness in my left arm and left side of the chest i have performed all the test.ECG,ECHI,ETT,LFT,UREA CREATNINE,CBC All are ok.but now a days i am feeling pain on my liver side and suddenly this pain transfer from liver to the right upper side of my arm. i have feeling shortness of breath as well since 1 month.Please advice
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about heart diseases for your symptoms because your ECG and 2d echo are normal. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the basis of PFT values. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Last night i felt a bump on the roof of my mouth at the back. The bump is a bit sore when food or my tongue touch it. i looked in the mirror this morning and the bump is pea sized and there are two large dark areas on the roof around the bump. They almost look like bruises. I am 20 years old, never smoked before and rarely drink alcohol. Whay could this possibly be?
|
Hello there.... What do u mean by bump? Swelling? There are few age related swellings /lesions in the palate that arise with indefinite etiology... One need not have a history of smoking or alcohol consumption to have them. They might be associated with minor salivary glands of the palate also. Impacted upper third molars erupting palatially would also give such a clinical picture. Since yours is the right age for the eruption of wisdom teeth, that might also be the cause. Get yourself evaluated from an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon only.

My father (Aged 75 years, patient with high BP since last 30 years) was diagonised suffering from GRADE 3 Prostatomegaly (after carrying out ultrasound test + CT Scan). Also, Gross PVR with Chronic Cystitis was the impression given in these reports. (Pre void - 2547 cc PVR - 1498) Serum creatinine in blood was found around 4.5 mg/dl. Since last 4 weeks, he is with Foleys bulb (initially for evacuating the urine blocked). Now, after 4 weeks, Serum creatinine is found reduced to 2.1 mg/dl.potassium - 4.3 mmo/lSodium - 148 mmo/l As per latest ultra sound report (after 4 weeks):-Grade 3 Prostatomegaly with Chronic Cysts-Bilateral Moderate Hydrourteronephrosis-Bilateral Renal Cortical Cysts Other aspects: -Right Kidney: Moderate dilatation pelvicaliceal system and ureter noted. Cortical Cyst in upper pole measuring 3.7 x 3.0 cm.-Left Kidney : Moderate dilatation pelvicaliceal system and ureter noted. Cortical Cyst in upper pole measuring 2.5 x 2.1 cm.-Urinary bladder : Gross mucosal thickening noted.-Prostrate: Enlarged in size with normal echogenisity. Weight - 180 gms. My queries are: - Are the Cortical Cysts in Kidneys need to be treated to further reduce serum creatinine to normal level ? - (Note: He is strictly following diet - low sodium, low potassium + medicine for BP changed + Blocked urine emptied in last 4 weeks). No back pain, No pain near hip.... complaint, - Still, is it recommended to have Foleys bulb/tube for 3 to 4 weeks ?- Can enlarged prostrate can be shrinked using medicines for improving lower urinary tract /passage ? (Note: As per my father, even 4 weeks back, he is releasing urine freely - not aware that some amount blocked inside itself) - no inflammation etc - -How to improve bladder distended bladder (thickned walls) ? Any medicines recommended at this stage ? Kindly suggest. -

Hi so I had my period on august 27th and then again on september 13th which is not normal since my cycles are usually about 28 days. So I figured my next period would be due the 11th this month but still haven t gotten it. I ve taken a few pregnancy tests and they are all negative. Could I still be pregnant and should I go to my doctor for bloodwork? Just kind of freaking out and want answers, sick of waiting.
|
HelloPeriods can be early or delayed sometimes. If so, it is difficult to determine when the next one will be. Do get a pregnancy test done to alleviate your concern. You can just do a home pregnancy test, which is also quite accurate, if you do not want to go to the doctor. Best wishes.

A stomach ache wakes me every morning. The Drs PA gave me a pill to dissolve under my tongue. He thought it was a spasm. Had a bad night last night after having FRIED SHRIMP for dinner. Up most of night w/a bad stomach ache. I also have reflux issuesDo You think it is gall bladder?
|
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern your acid reflux problem may not be due to the gall bladder, but nowadays, the "Gastroesophageal reflux disease (HERD) is common and the changing lifestyle could be the reason behind this stressful condition, like anxiety and depression, but this can be best controlled with the medicine called PPI (Proton pump inhibitor) hope this information helps you, have nice day.

Me and my boyfriend were having sex doggy style when he hit something hard, i think it might of been my pelvis. It hurt both of us. And for the past 2 hours i have been having throbbing pains in my lower abdomen and my anal canal. It hurts to fart. But he did not insert his penis in my anis.
|
If you did not have anal sex, and it was vaginal sex in doggy style then nothing much to worry. Take a medicine with Melanesia acid with acetaminophen. Usual market brand available is Metal plus. You take this medicine twice daily for three days, and you shall be fine.

Im a 30 yr old woman, I do not have a history of medical problems, the last few weeks when I lay on my stomach I have been feeling a strong pulsation, much stronger than in my chest. When I lay on my back I feel an area with a very strong pulse on my abdomen, near my umbilicus. I know the major artery, the aorta runs in the abdomen... So is a strong pulse a concern. Or just normal aortic flow?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Very good question... If you are feeling this for the first time , the surgical problems concerned with this feeling like a cyst or a mass lying on the aorta have to ruled out by an urgent ultrasonography and color Doppler examination, ; the findings are positive to confirm this by a contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and of necessary of the chest too... If the investigations and clinical examination by your Doctor are normal, enjoy life- it is possible that you have lost a lot of weight and lost abdominal fat... (this is on a lighter vain)

Hello Dr. Grief. I have a problem when laying down on my stomach, and lifting my head (watching tv while laying in bed) my ears swoosh, and I feel lightheaded like I could pass out if I don t change position. The same thing happens if I am standing, and contract my shoulders, and look up to get a good stretch, and correct my posture. I also feel numbness from the outside of my left shoulder down to the back of my hand, and also a little on the left side of my face/cheek, it is very mild, and doesn t affect function at all. It is annoying, and worrisome though. This has been going on for about 2 years now. I have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder for about 4 years now, but I have only the occasional mild symptoms of anxiety for which I take a small piece of an Alprazolam pill, and I am ok. I used to get heart palps often, but hardly ever do anymore, and I don t worry too much about them because I had a nuclear stress test a year ago that was all good. I have asthma, and take fluticasone twice a day, and singular 10mg at night, along with albuterol as needed. This winter has been the worst ever for my asthma, as my airways are almost always agitated. I exercise 3 times a week, a combination of strength training, and brisk uphill walking. I am a 38 year old male, normal weight, and composition, actually in pretty good shape. Any idea what this could be? I worry about cardiovascular disease because I smoked for 9 years, but I haven t smoked for almost 10 years now, and I only rarely have alcohol, and only in moderation, less than 2 drinks. I had high LDL/ and low HDL cholesterol, but got that under control with exercise, diet, and Testosterone therapy. Any help would be appreciated.
|
You have to check your asthma control. In asthma, chronic hyperventilation with disturbance of arterial blood gas exchange can lead to light headdress. Check your blood pressure in lying and standing position to rule out postural hypotension

Hi.Every night I have clear bubbly yuk that I have to spit out. If I don t spit it out I have to cough and then it comes up. I am up all night doing this. I just lay down and take a towel to bed with me and spit it our alnight. What can I do. I take singular and take prilosec. Doesn t help.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, we should definitely rule out congestive heart failure (CHF) first. Your symptoms (frothy sputum, cough, chest up position) especially at night are characteristic feature of CHF.CHF causes pulmonary edema and this causes all the symptoms. So better to consult cardiologist and get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). You may need diuretics and other cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
