My yesterday s blood test result showed 160 Sgot , 87 SGPT , D. bilirubin - 0.3, T.bilirubin 1.3 and uric acid 8.4. Before a week result was 126 Sgot , 89 SGPT , D. bilirubin - 0.8, T.bilirubin 1.9 and uric acid 9.5. Except for SGOT and SGPT my other results have improved. How can i make improvement for those two result. I am taking my food very carefully. and i haven t taken alchol since 2 month. Is it due to uric acid and liver problem ? or other factor can make those two result high? What other test i have do do ?
Hi ts Your SGPT and GOT levels are showing signs of a mild liver inflammation. This is often seen with following conditions 1. Long term alcohol intake2. Some viruses involving the liver like hepatitis B and C3. Obesity or metabolic syn Chat Doctor. HbsAg2. Anti HCV antibody. 3. ultrasound of abdomen SGPT and GOT takes time for improvement. You need to continue to be abstinent from alcohol. On an average it would take 2-3 months to resolve with continued abstinence and medications. So continue on the path of a good lifestyle, and you would surely see good results. Regards

Hi, I had a hard bump about the size of a pea on my scrotum that was visibly dark underneath the skin. I squeezed it like a pimple and, after putting on a lot of pressure, it popped and shot a large amount of blood all over the place but nothing more. After cleaning and looking the lump is much smaller but only continued to bleed a little bit. There was no pain when touched and I have put neosporin on the now popped lump. What is this?
Hello, It seems to be a superficial bacterial skin infection of the scrotum. You can apply topical Newsprint cream over that bump. Make that area clean and avoid tight-fitting cloth. Wear loose underwear. If no improvement with Newsprint like antibiotic cream than consult surgeon for detailed evaluation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

My 11 year old son has woken up violently vomiting 4 of the past 5 nights. He does not have a fever nor is he sick acting or feeling. He wakes up and comes down stairs in a panic and vomits. I have read online it could be some form of epilepsy. Any suggestions!
Welcome to the ChatDoctorI have gone through your question and understand your concern. The symptoms can occur due to gastritis associated with overnight fasting, or it may be a form of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. The hallmark characteristics of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy are the presence of myoclonic jerks that occur on awakening from sleep either in the morning or from a nap. They are typically described as shock-like, irregular and arrhythmic movements of both arms. Sometimes these movements are restricted only to the fingers making the patient or individual look clumsy or prone to Chat Doctor. They are precipitated by alcohol intake, stress and sleep deprivation. If you feel that the episodes are associated with above-mentioned symptoms, then an electroencephalogram (EEG) will be useful to detect any occult epilepsy. Else, you may start antacids for him to relieve gastric acidity which might be the cause of these episodes of vomiting. Hopefully this will help you. Take care

I have a mild to sharp pulsating pain in the left front area of my neck, which has been on an off since this morning (in the same location where I would would take my pulse). I don t have any other symptoms, other than loss of appetite this morning. Does this mean I am having some kind of heart issue? What could be the cause? I took a couple of Bayer aspirin...is this OK?
Usually heart pain is dull aching, not sharp, non pulsating and unlikely to be limited to small area in the neck. Heart typically occurs in exertion and broad area on left chest can go up to jaw, back and left arm. Your pain is less likely to be cardiac.

I was very afraid to brain because i was missing the brain memory day by day i do know these problem start minimum one month. How to solve?
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor first you must mention your age, as in old age we expect memory loss due to senile changes. Consult neurologist to find the cause & get it treated. There can be many reasons for decreased memory, over stress, lack of proper sleep, over expectation, poor non-nutritious diet. So first have sound sleep, discuss things with your friend, topic discussed is more remembered than just read. Also look for hemoglobin. Start iron & vitamin supplements. Wish you speedy recoveryDisclaimer

I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.

Hard lump on clavicle could be due to lymph node, neurofibroma or a bursa. If this one is lymph node, possibilities are infective like tuberculosis or viral infection; could be due to lymphoma or malignancy too!nothing to worry about other possibilities. Please go for an FNAC test that will confirm it!wish you best health...

I had my period two weeks ago. A week after my period I had sex with my boyfriend and I bled very badly. It looked like a massacre. But there were no clumps of blood. Just watery blood color. I then had blood in my discharge for a couple days. It then went away and it was clear discharge. Now for the past two-three days I have had a lot of blood in my discharge. I had sex two and a half months ago unprotected with my boyfriend when I was ovulating. And I think he came in me. Sometimes I get a small cramp in my lower belly. And my discharge every day is very watery. Soaking my panties. I dont know if this could be pregnancy or now. I also have been always having the urge to pee whether it be a lot or a little that comes out. Can you help me.
Hi, thanx for your query.intermittent bleeding and bleeding after sex points towards cervical poly or cervical cancer. Watery discharge may be due to candida or bacterial infection. Get a pap smear done to see for what infection. If u have a doubt about pregnancy get a home pregnancy test done or b Chat Doctor tests done. Get a consultation with a gone for proper evaluation.breeze.

About 8 hours Ago I ran full force into a cupboard door and hit the top of my forehead hard. I have a small bump and bruise but that is not what s bothering me. I did not blackout but have been a little dazed and out of it. I am having a severe headache all over my head towards the back and my neck. Im dizzy nauseous, have a full head and ear feeling and pressure feeling in my head. Should I go into be evaluated or are these symtoms expected after hitting your head? As a side note I have a history of pseudotumor cerebri that was sudden onset last year said to be caused by possible birth control pIlls I was always at spinal tap pressure of 25 borderline high and severe headaches. I have been doing well and off all meds for last 5 months and have been headache free for last 5 months. Could this history have caused more complications when hitting my head? I m just not getting any better with max doses of over the counter pain relievers, ice and rest. Could I really have hit my head hard enough to cause a problem? What do I do?
Hello, Thank you for using our website,First, you need to be put under a medical supervision for 24 hours. If there is no deterioration in the level of conscious, you should take a painkiller and a bed rest for 3 days. But, if there is a deterioration in your level of conscious, you should do an CT Brain to exclude intracranial hemorrhage. The history of pseudo tumor cerebra could make the treatment of intracranial hemorrhage more difficult. Let me know if you need more information. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

My husband and myself started ttc from Feb 12 and conceived in April 12. Unfortunately it was an ectopic pregnancy and done a laproscopy on June 12. After that my gynac suggested me a rest for 3 months and prescribed me folic acid . But I m yet to conceive. On Jan 12th I got my periods and my gynac suggested me to take Oosure for 30 days, Cervifert for 10 days(started yesterday), and Rizorich for 30 days. Can i expect conception dis month......
Hello, These are all supportive medicines for healthy pregnancy. Basically pregnancy depends on proper timing of ovulation & unprotected sex. Ovulation occurs approx 14 days before due date. It is better to use ovulation prediction kit (OPK) to predict ovulation time and prepare for that day for unprotected sex for high chance of pregnancy. Avoid stress, take healthy diet with Vitae & Folic acid supplements, control body wt and proper sleep. Be well.

I have harrington rods in place (23 yrs) and have started to suffer some different back issues,like sciatic nerve problems and pain in hips. Lately I am experiencing a strange vibration up and down my spine periodically. Numbness in one heel/ midfoot area and some pain when I flex it
I would get an MRI of the lumbar spine to look for possible issues with stenosis at the area below your Harrington rods. The lower lumbar spine is where the sciatic nerve originates (L5/S1), and I would look at that area closely.

i wake up in the morning feeling dizzy, its like i am going to have a fever and keep on farting, and had a pain on my upper stomach its like there is a heavy feeling inside of it. I checked my blood pressure and it is 90/60. i need your advice on what should i do. thank you.
Hello, Since your blood pressure is low 90/60 this could be the cause for you feeling dizzy in the morning. Getting a cardiac assessment done should be of choice. Because 90/60 is considered as low blood Pressure, and it needs cardiologist attention. Now for gastric, you need to improve your eating habits and also metabolism so gastric issues don't prevail longer. You should consider meeting up a cardiologist and not ignore the low blood pressure. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi, this only happens when I workout after having not worked out for a while, however it is such a pattern break, and alarming, that I worry. After exerting at the gym, it s like a switch is turned, and I feel the onset, and it always fully manifests once I feel the onset. Shortness of breath, light headed (always anticipate passing out, but it never happens) fingers tips start tingling like crazy - all of them. Skin turns very very pale, I look visibly ill. Lasts around 15 minutes. There s no stopping it. I try slow controlled breaths, drinking water, laying down. All I can do is wait for it to pass. I don t think it s a panic attack, because it only happens after lifting weights, and it also usually doesn t happen if I ve been working out consistently, only when I start after not having been to the gym in a while. Keep in mind, I m not over exerting, not lifting anything crazy, pretty standard stuff. Let me k ow what you think.
Hello, To me the symptoms appear like the onset of a syncope. A syncope is usually caused by reduced blood supply to the brain. The first thing that I would like to get done for you is the cardiac evaluation. The heart problems are very well known to manifest after exertion. When one works out on a regular basis then body gets accustomed to that level of exertion and this adaptation goes off with stopping the activity. Probably that is causing the problem for you when you start it after a gap. I would definitely want a heart check up. Good luck.

My wife is suffering serious depression and is now on medication. She has been feeling empty headed in her mind and did not know what to do. She has been wanting to get cured in a hospital. May I ask under what condition is she required to remain in hospital.? Would it be a mental hospital?
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. From what you have stated it appears that your wife is having a depressive episode. Depression can occur with regular stress, and it can also occur biologically without any stress as well. She needs proper treatment for the same. There are various effective therapies for depression like fluoxetine, venlafaxine, bupropion, mirtazapine or Escitalopram, and they are all very effective and mostly safe. You may also require some benzodiazepines like clonazepam or lorazepam for a short period like 2-3 weeks to reduce the anxiety and help with your sleep. If you are averse to the Chat Doctor. This therapy is taken by either a psychologist or a psychiatrist in which the therapist identifies impaired cognitions (Thoughts) and try to correct them. They are 15-20 min weekly session and there should be around 8-10 sessions to help you with your illness. If it is severe then she needs to be hospitalized. She can be admitted in any general hospital or a nursing home having a psychiatrist attached to it. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link:bit.ly/

right arm aches mostly at night...I had open heart surgery 6 months ago and my right arm has not been the same since...every night as soon as I get in bed it starts a dull but very anoying ache ...I tried taking tylenol and it doesnt help...my hand seems to be swollen for a few hours after I get up in the morning....what could be causing this pain
First possibility I can think, probably some small nerves might have been damaged or compressed during surgery. So you can try nerve vitamin like erosion forte once a day and asked your physician for nerve stabilizer like pregabalin.

my father was diagnosised with renal problem and his creatitine level and urea level was increasing day by day from 4.5 to 6.1 within three days and he become restless on the fourth day. Doctors did not dialysis him on the three days. On the fourth day they dialysis him and he expired. What will be the cause sir?. We have lost a valuable father for us?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety and share your loss. To begin with, certainly your father was not in good health. You haven't written his age, nor his other medical problems with duration. There must be some reason for his kidney failure, needing dialysis. The other medical reasons could contribute to rapid deterioration, once dialysis was stopped. Dialysis may not be indicated to be done daily. The exact cause, as to why dialysis wasn't done for three days, can be asked to the treating doctor. Chat Doctor. Manga.

My daughter has many issues with several doctors following her. I am wondering if the issues could all be related to one issue? She was diagnosed with Celiac disease not by blood test but because of fat malabsorption. She also has overactive bladder with a thickened bladder wall and she taking Ditropan. She has recently begun with what seems to be migraine headaches and possibly a few episodes of abdominal migraines. She was hospitalized for 2 days and other things were ruled out. Most importantly she is 7 1/2 and only weighs 34 pounds even though she has been strictly gluten free for 3 years.
Hi, By what you say I feel that this might be voiding dysfunction of bladder bowel dysfunction. She needs bladder training exercises. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I took Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for a week and a half for acne . I developed severe fatigue , pain in joints, pain in throat, swelling of my tongue and sores around body including vagina. I stopped taking the medication on 11/16/12, but i still am feeling fatigue and the sores are still there, but they are healing. I went to the urgent care, they sent me to the er, er said there is nothing to be done, contact pcp, but my pcp does not have an opening for 3 and a half months. Did I have an allergic reaction to the doxycycline? I still feel very tired, what should I do?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. From the nature and sudden onset of your symptoms after taking Doxycycline, it is possible that they could be indicative of an allergic reaction. Since you have stopped the medication and your symptoms are subsiding, you don't have to worry much. It may sometimes take a few days for your symptoms like tiredness and fatigue to completely settle down. I would advise you to take plenty of fluids and eat a healthy, nutritious diet. If your symptoms remain persistent or worsen, then I would advise you to see a doctor for further evaluation, since certain conditions like anemia or vitamin deficiencies can cause persistent fatigue. Best wishes,

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Question: I took Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for a week and a half for acne . I developed severe fatigue , pain in joints, pain in throat, swelling of my tongue and sores around body including vagina. I stopped taking the medication on 11/16/12, but i still am feeling fatigue and the sores are still there, but they are healing. I went to the urgent care, they sent me to the er, er said there is nothing to be done, contact pcp, but my pcp does not have an opening for 3 and a half months. Did I have an allergic reaction to the doxycycline? I still feel very tired, what should I do? ### Answer: Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. From the nature and sudden onset of your symptoms after taking Doxycycline, it is possible that they could be indicative of an allergic reaction. Since you have stopped the medication and your symptoms are subsiding, you don't have to worry much. It may sometimes take a few days for your symptoms like tiredness and fatigue to completely settle down. I would advise you to take plenty of fluids and eat a healthy, nutritious diet. If your symptoms remain persistent or worsen, then I would advise you to see a doctor for further evaluation, since certain conditions like anemia or vitamin deficiencies can cause persistent fatigue. Best wishes,

i have developed a rash directly under my appliances. How can cure it? I am wearing a rubber type barrier ring made by Hollister. Because of the rash, I have to change my entire appliance every day after my shower. I developed this rash about 6 months after my ileostomy. Have I developed an allergy? Beverly

Do Limbic Encephalitis sufferes ever recover their memory and emotions to the degree of a managable home life. My partners simptoms were constant crying, panick attacks, almost primal behaviour, short term memory loss, long and random memory loss, constantly eating and major confabulating. Unfortunatly I left my partner as I felt I was having a breakdown myself, being unable to detach from his behaviour, even though I love him dearly.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I am sorry to hear about your partners' illness, and the separation that followed. Limbic encephalitis patients do recover. However, the recovery is slow and gradual, and often partial. The extent of recovery depends on the severity of encephalitis and the ensuing brain damage, the treatment offered, and the rehabilitation process, which includes good family support too. I hope it helps. I would be pleased to answer any follow-up queries. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

Ive been having the symptoms of severe abdominal pain for the past week my doctor did blood work an ultrasound and a ct scan and we ruled out appendicitis, ovarian cysts, and pregnancy.

I was wondering if you could tell me what these could possibly be symptoms of
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. If the appendicitis has been ruled out and CT / USG already done, I would think of a general disease like Typhoid or gastroenteritis of some sort. Please go for blood tests for typhoid / blood culture and sensitivity, urine tests and other relevant blood tests must already must have been done. Continue antibiotics. Your Doctor will change according to the reports and your response to the treatment.

Hi, Yes, tiredness is common in cancer survivor patients. However, it is not wise to label any tiredness due to cancer. Cancer survivors are able to lead an almost normal healthy life. So if there is any tiredness, that needs to be evaluated for common causes. I would like to know details, such as is this tiredness new or been there for more than 6 months? Has it worsened recently or intensity has remained the same? Are you able to do your daily activities with ease or there is discomfort? Have you noticed blood in stools? Any other associated symptoms? These clues will help me determine the probable cause. In your case, it is very important to rule out whether the symptoms are cancer-related/ pneumonia-related/heart-related. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have severe GERD & a hiatal hernia , a current bout with diverticulitis (required hospitalization) and now that I m home am having terrible pain between my shoulder blades (kind of through my chest to the middle of my back), a bloated full feeling when eating very little, severe constipation, continued all over abdominal pain, indigestion, belching , painful hiccuping when I eat or drink. My question: Is this pain between the shoulder blades associated with the hernia or maybe gastritis or something else? & should I be concerned about cancer? (I already plan to have an endoscope and colonoscopy soon.) Thanks.
Hi, there are many reasons of pain between shoulder blade radiating from other places. Anginal chest pain, gall bladder pain, pancreatitis pain may radiate to that place. Your ECG should be done. Anyway your gastrointestinal symptoms should be evaluated by colonoscopy and endoscopy. Other routine blood examination specially amylase lipase may also be done. Consult gastroenterologist.

Merry Christmas!! I am a 76-year old female and my blood pressure reading is 104 over 58. I have a blood pressure monitor at home, which I have used three times in the last 20 minutes, showing readings of 104 over 58, 102 over 57 and 104 over 58. I feel terrific, am not overweight or tired, have plenty of energy, so why are my readings so low, please? Should I be concerned?
Don't bother about this reading. You are perfectly alright. Being at the age of 76,it's better to evaluate yourself. Get your routine blood tests, ECG and Echocardiography.

hi, i have a problem with my lower left side back pain. I actually masturbate for few years already. From age 16. Im now 18. The pain just have been for few month and its worsen because i didnt care about it and continued to masturbate about once a day or more. How to reduce the pain? Do i need some exercise or i have to meet with doctor? I also take some supplement. Glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate. thank you
I do not think that the back pain has any relation to your masturbation. At this age, the back pain is rather likely to be caused due to improper posture during sitting or lying down. Certain back exercises would give you relief. Please visit a physical therapist for the same. You may try taking some muscle relaxant tablet twice daily for a couple of days and see if you get relief as it is usually caused due to muscle spasm in lower back. Hot compress will also give you relief. No supplements required. Glucosamine or Chen Chat Doctor. Please do not self-medicate and visit a doctor.

Ive had cold sweats for the last three nights, my body temp is low (Im freezing!), and my back has been aching, lots of joint and musle aches.I am 29, 118lbs healthy ( no allergies)with two systs on my left ovaries (if thats relevant). I went to Nicaragua in March 2011 and didnt take any shots before going. I live in Canada.
Hi. It is unlikely that you have some illness 4 years after visiting Nicaragua. But, nevertheless, symptoms you described are not pleasant, and you should check at your doctor. Did you measured your body temperature, or you just felt like cold? Sometimes chills are sign of fever and sweats are sign of body regulation. Anyway, you should use lots of teas and water and I would visit my doctor for these problems. All the best.

Hi..i hav a dark complexion..my frnds suggested to use betnovate c for fairness or either melacare cream..r these cream beneficial..will dey gimme fair complexion..if not..den plz suggest me d best cream so dat i can get fair complexion with glowing skin
Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. Betnovate-c and Delaware are not good options for fairness as they contain steroids and other contents which can badly damage your skin. For better complexion, use mild cream containing comic acid, soy isoflavones, albumin etc. on regular basis (Mel aglow). Use good quality water-based sunscreen regularly to avoid tanning and pigmentation due to sunlight. Use good moisturizer like Eocene to keep your skin well HY Chat Doctor. You can opt for simple office based procedures like chemical peeling, microdermabrasion, monotherapy etc. Use glycolic acid based face wash for gentle exfoliation of dead skin. Hope this will help a long way in solving your problem. Thank you

Hello, As you have episodes of pharyngitis at frequent intervals, I'll suggest please get a throat swab culture and sensitivity done. There must be a gap of 4-5 days between last antibiotic and the culture sensitivity test. Just give a call to a path lab, and they will explain to you the procedure. If your test is positive then you will get the name of the most effective antibiotic and that will have to be taken as per the advice of your doctor. In the meantime please try to do warm saline gargle as many times a day as possible. Avoid spicy food and cold water. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello my daughter is six and started to have a fever yesterday around 3:00pm we are spending this week at the beach. She still has a fever today. It goes from 99.9 to 101.9 but not higher than that. I gave her Tylenol but her temperature goes down to 99.0. Is this fever caused by the sun exposure?
Hi, thank you for posting! I read your query very carefully, and I understand your concerns. Her symptoms are caused by the complication of a viral infection. In these cases taking a lot of fluids, eating a lot of vegetables and fruits and bed rest are recommended. To find the diagnosis a physical examination by a pediatrician, a strep test and complete blood count are necessary. A urine test is necessary too. Take Care.

My son is 12 yrs old. On 29/07/14 at around 14 hrs, we have suddenly noticed that his neck turns right and his left hand turns towards left and become stretched for few seconds (max 5-6 sec) in standing condition and becomes normal after that. The same thing has happened twice on 31/07/14 and once on 01/08/14 (last). We came to know from him that this type of disorder happened also 6 months back but we were not reported. We went to Doctor (neurologist) and as advised MRI brain and EEG was done. There was nothing in MRI of brain but EEG shows some disorder. Accordingly Dr has prescribed a medicine named DESVAL ER 500 once daily for 6 months. Thereafter we went to another doctor (neurologist) , after going thru thorough check he has prescribed ESLIZEN 400 once daily for a month and reporting after one month. We have started ESLIZEN 400 yesterday only and please advice .
Hi, Thankyou for your query. Since your child is having problem of epilepsy, and it has to be treated according to doctors advice. As for how long he is getting seizure, it is not noticed, and now you should continue the medicine as prescribed by your doctor, to be seizure free and accident free, as seizure can happen anywhere, anytime where sometime no care can be possible and child can be accident-prone like biting of tongue, head injury after falling and incontinence etc continue the medicines as prescribed by neurologist and follow accordingly.

Accordingly Dr has prescribed a medicine named DESVAL ER 500 once daily for 6 months. Thereafter we went to another doctor (neurologist) , after going thru thorough check he has prescribed ESLIZEN 400 once daily for a month and reporting after one month. We have started ESLIZEN 400 yesterday only and please advice . ### Answer: Hi, Thankyou for your query. Since your child is having problem of epilepsy, and it has to be treated according to doctors advice. As for how long he is getting seizure, it is not noticed, and now you should continue the medicine as prescribed by your doctor, to be seizure free and accident free, as seizure can happen anywhere, anytime where sometime no care can be possible and child can be accident-prone like biting of tongue, head injury after falling and incontinence etc continue the medicines as prescribed by neurologist and follow accordingly. Regards. Chat Doctor.

My son recently hit his head at school and I believe may be suffering from a concussion. I took him to the emg but they advised me to continue to monitor. He is symptomatic of having a concussion and has now developed a rash on his arm. Should I be concerned? D
Hello, The rash in the arm is not connected with the concussion, so, monitoring for a couple of weeks is sufficient. A Dermatologist should evaluate it. In most of the cases, there is no need for treatment for concussion. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I live in Canada so my numbers might be different from the US standards. My last CBC blood test came back that my white blood cell count was 12.7 (doctor said likes to see it below 11). She says this indicates cancer (did I mention her bedside manner sucks?). I have been having problems with a couple of teeth for the last 4 months and have had several procedures done on them and I am going back again this week. Seems coincidental that my WBC was high the last two times and fits in to the time period of the tooth problems. I should mention that I smoke which probably doesnt help. This is the first time I have had a high WBC without a valid reason for it (i.e. sinus infection, diarrhea etc.). Should I be freaking out?
Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor! The normal total leukocyte (white blood cells) count ranges from 4000 to 11,000 per microliter in an adult. White blood cells help protect the body against diseases and fight infections. There are numerous causes for increases in neutrophils, lymphocytes etc. but the most common cause of Leukocytosis is secondary to infection (localized or generalized)or tissue necrosis due to any cause, in your case it can be due to infection in your teeth. The degree of leukocytosis depends upon several factors like its cause, severity of the infection, resistance of the body, localization of the inflammatory process (greater neutrophil leukocytosis is produced by a localized disease process rather than a generalized one) and modification by treatment. Your WBC count is only slightly raised so don't worry. A course of antibiotics will bring it down. Take care!

i have been having chest pain, almost a tight feeling since february but doctors couldnt find anything and said if it happens come back. well past few days i will have those chest pains and they last just few minutes then go away and then come back and so on. what could it be?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Irregular chest pain is commonly seen due to stress and anxiety. But better to first rule out heart related diseases for your chest pain. So get done ECG and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Stress and anxiety related chest pain is more likely in your case. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I went to the ER last night with chest pain that was worse when I lay down. They did two EKGs which showed abnormalitiy in T wave referred me for stress test with echo whicChatDoctore back normal. I am 27 and have been having chest pain on and off for a month... What could it be?I am 4 11 and weigh 113... nothing significant in medical history... when I was at ER my potassium level was 3.4 so they gave me a supplement. Everytime I go the doctor they tell me I have indigestion yet meds are not relieving it
Hello, mostly it's an acidity and reflux disease. Do you upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in throat or chest burning, if yes it further supports the diagnosis? Avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. You can get prescribed tab Pan DSR 40 mg before breakfast once a day for 2 weeks. Does this pain increase on deep breathing, if you could be a plan from lining of lungs or heart which will need evaluation and OTC medicine like ibuprofen or diclofenac till evaluation is complete.

I have pain in my left shoulder due to cervical disc degeneration. There is a bone spur compression on a nerve that causes shoulder muscle to continuously be contracted on a Charlie horse. Continuous pain. Nerve ablation was unsuccessful due to the bone spur being in the way. Any suggestions? Nerve blocks, cervical epidurals have not worked. Physical therapy did not work. I take flexeril and ibuprofen for pain. Any suggestions?
Hi there. You could be suffering from cervical spondylosis which is causing pinched nerve and the symptoms you are experiencing. You may need surgical decompression of the nerve to remove the bone spurs. Avoid bending the neck forwards and avoid lifting heavy weight on the back. Apply hot water bottle for pain relief. In your cause I believe you need surgical treatment to give you better relief on the whole. Consult your Orthopedic surgeon for the same. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Dear Doctor, I was admitted in hospital for Dengue and during a routine check-up in Nov. 12, my liver was found with multiple minute sized SOLs covering both the lobes. I conducted LFT, CT-scan and MRI and I was informed that it is benign. The liver function test is also normal. The CEA test is 6.5 and Cancer Marker test is also far below range. I conducted blood test for Echynococcus Serology and it was also negative. The MRI Radiologist told that it may be a hemangioma but the structure is different from the normal hemangioma. Kindly guide what can be the finding - multiple minute sized SOLs and what is the next step to be taken. Yours Sincerely, Radha, Ghaziabad
Hi there, as you have done all the tests to rule out any other cause of the sols and hematoma is more likely. It is a benign liver condition and one of the predisposing factors are intake of oral contraceptive pills. If you were on the pills earlier or now that would explain the hematomas. You will have to stop the pills and adopt other method of contraception., If you are otherwise asymptomatic then you need not do anything at this juncture but follow up routinely with LFTS and ultrasound studies. Take care.

Recently I have had some abdominal pain , not really a sharp pain but when I am lying in bed and my wife puts her arm over my abdomen it is a very annoying pain that gets worse the longer there is any pressure, I brushed this off as nothing but I ve noticed the past two nights I have had a couple drinks no more than maybe half a cup of vodka, when I awoke in the morning there was blood in my saliva , the first night it wasn t too bad just a bit of blood that cleared up in a few minutes. This morning there was a good mouthful of watered down blood and took about 10 minutes to clear, I inspected my teeth and gums and blood didn t seem to be coming from there nor my sinuses after I blew my nose. Any suggestions as to what that may be? I am 22 years of age 5 1 and 120lbs, I drink occasionally usually only one drink every other week with no other known health problems.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, From your history it seems that you might be having acute gastritis giving rise to pain in abdomen while giving pressure. Bleeding might be from GI Tract. Go for stool test for occult blood. Consult gastroenterologist and get examined. Stop taking alcohol. Take Omeprazole or Sanitizing. Avoid fried and junk food. Take milk diet, buttermilk. Ok and bye.

I have been dealing with pain in my low back, pelvic region and upper legs for a couple of years now. My MRI showed an annular tear at L5 S1 with a broad base protrusion. There is no obvious impingement of the canal. My pain is worse after sitting for more than fifteen or twenty minutes and my legs are heavy and uncomfortable for the first few steps after sitting. My low back also pops and snaps a lot with movement. I had previously gone to a pain clinic and they tried injections with little, then no relief. I ve seen another pain doctor who tells me that there is no reason that he can see for my pain, other than inflammation in my SI. He injected those and I seemed to get some relief at first, but it didn t last through one lawn mowing.
The spine is made up of an alignment of small bones. These bones have sponge like discs between them and the spinal cord passes along the back of these bones through the spinal canal. Between the bones we also have nerve roots originating in the spinal cord and passing through foramen between bones. You seem to be having discs at a particular level that is protruding between the bones and this protrusion is backwards and causing symptoms. The discs protruding at level L 5 - S 1 with a tear at the periphery of the disc. It might also cause obliteration of lateral recess and neural foraminal compromise. This is leading to pinching of nerves causing severe pain. There are patients who get relief by doing physiotherapy and taking neurogenic pain relievers for up to a year. Injections are also given for relief. However, this might not always happen. If your pain is severe and not responding to medical treatment then the disc protrusion needs to be removed by doing a small surgery at the lower back region by a neurosurgeon. Presently, laser assisted surgical techniques and radio frequency ablation is also available. The inflammation at SI joint requires regular injections. You can try to feel more comfortable at work by taking small breaks every 30 minutes and not straining your spine especially the painful areas.

I have a bloodpressure reading of 130/110.at present i have been adviced tab telmade a h with solman omega3.Can u suggest is this a good combination or do i have to find another combinations and also i want to know when is the best time to consume omega3
Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. You should not worry about. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that when we treat hypertension our goal is to keep mean blood pressure values below 140 / 90 mmHg. A person might have high value during emotional and physicals trees so It's mandatory to judge on mean values. Celesta is a very good blood pressure antihypertensive. Omega-3 it's not a treatment for blood pressure, it helps to lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. If you have mean values below 140 / 90 mmHg than you are ok.the schema is ok. If you catch any high value than I would recommend a check up with a cardiac echo, a full blood analyze to check your renal function and a holder pressure monitoring to evaluate your values during day and night. After this we can decide if it is necessary to change anything Hope I was helpful. Best regards, Chat Doctor.

I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. You should not worry about. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that when we treat hypertension our goal is to keep mean blood pressure values below 140 / 90 mmHg. A person might have high value during emotional and physicals trees so It's mandatory to judge on mean values. Celesta is a very good blood pressure antihypertensive. Omega-3 it's not a treatment for blood pressure, it helps to lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. If you have mean values below 140 / 90 mmHg than you are ok.the schema is ok. If you catch any high value than I would recommend a check up with a cardiac echo, a full blood analyze to check your renal function and a holder pressure monitoring to evaluate your values during day and night. After this we can decide if it is necessary to change anything Hope I was helpful. Best regards, Chat Doctor.

Hello, my 9 month old has a blocked nose and a really bad cough. She has been taking her bottles and food fine throughout the day but her nappies havnt been as wet as usual. She has also been alot more sleepy today than normal. Before going to bed tonight she has refused to take her bottle. Will she be ok? and can teething play a part in this?
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. By what you quote it seems that your child has probably got cold. Due to cold, the child has blocked nose and cough. There are chances that he could be having fever and that's why he is feeling tired. In my opinion, you should give paracetamol syrup and cough syrup to child for 3 days. Normal saline Chat Doctor. I hope this will help you. Take care.

I have had recurring rashes, lasting for a week or so. They are red, not raised and have small scabs. They are particularly annoying on my scalp, but have appeared on my arms, my hands, my wrists and my chest. Creams prescribed by the doctor have done little to alleviate the symptoms. They first arrived soon after my return form Myanmar. I remember feeling physically low at the time but did not have a high fever. During investigations, the GP found a Keratoacanthoma, this was removed. Should I be concerned about scrub typhus? Could the Keratoacanthoma have been the eschar? The initial rash was nine months ago, but the most recent was last week. Thank you
Hi, It may be due to some allergy... may be called purity simplex. The rash may be pruritic, papulovesicular and crusted. It is not scrub typhus. And it is also not related to keratoacanthoma. Dust, grass, soap, pollutants. etc. may cause such rash. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Apply mild steroid cream and take tab cetirizine 10 mg daily till the improvement. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hello Month Kumar, Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thanks for your query. I understand your concern and problem. You have hepatitis; an inflammation of the liver. There are several possible reasons for hepatitis. One and the most likely is alcohol. Viral infections, certain medicines are other common causes. Does the SIDA medicine that you took for hemorrhoids contain any heavy metal powders or extracts? You should avoid alcohol now and also fat containing food if you have difficulty in tolerating them. Was the diagnosis of Typhoid based on blood culture? The method to diagnose typhoid in the first week of illness, is identifying the organism in a blood culture. Wish you a quick recovery! If you have further queries, I am available on the web Chat Doctor.

welcome to Chat Doctor Forum You seem to have developed sun burns due to excessive sun exposure... You need to apply a topical steroid containing mometasone cream over the affected area at least twice a day over the affected area in order to decrease the inflammation. And take some oral antihistamines like levocetrizine once a day. You should use a sunscreen (SPF>26) every time before you go out in the sun in the future,. Regarding a sunscreen, it is important that you should apply adequate amount of sunscreen over all the exposed areas before going out in the sun,It should at least be applied 30 minutes before any kind of sun exposure, and it should be reapplied every 3-4 hours in you stay out in the sun... Hope it helps Chat Doctor.

I am Male and my blood group is O+ve. I intend to get married to a lady having blood group O-ve. Can there be some blood group incompatibility issues during child birth or after the 1st child? Can the new born(s) suffer from any kind of disease, including Thalassemia. Is there something like 1st child will be fine and the subsequent ones will have problems? What is RH/RF (not sure) factor? I heard some kind of injections are given to mother to resolve such blood group incompatibility issues with the fetus during pregnancy, what are the side effects on mother due to such injections? Is blood group/type checking of would be bride and groom necessary for any reason apart from possibility of having HIV virus?
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor sir, Incompatibility in the newborn fetus may cause HDNB(hemolytic disease of newborn)depending upon the severity of red cell breakdown.this is because of Rh antibodies developed in the mother(if mother is Rh -ve) because of either previous blood transfusion or birth to a baby who is Rh’ve.1. If the above said antibodies develop before the 1st childbirth(that means if blood transfusion done).,then 1st baby will affect.2. If the above said antibodies develop after the birth of 1st childbirth your 1st baby will be normal.and for second pregnancy these antibodies travel across placenta and make red cell to break in the baby. Rh means rhesus factor... Rh +ve means presence of Rh antigen in the blood.né negative means absent. Regarding your query.you are O+ve and your would be is O-ve. If she had prior blood transfusion that too receives +ve blood.then you need to take anti D injection.nowadays that +ve blood is not giving to -ve one in the fear of future problems. After the 1st pregnancy your wife had to receive anti D immunoglobulin to suppress her immune status because of babies blood.after taking of this anti D then further pregnancies would be normal.no problem will arise. Incompatibility doesn't cause thalassemia,it is an inborn genetic error in the red blood cells. There is no side effects to that injection. Before marriage checking for HIV status is mandatory,..other else not necessary and not required.hope you understand my answer and suggestion. Thank you Chat Doctor.

I have had what looks like blood in my urine, went the doctor but have not gotten the results yet. However it seems like the only thing in diet that changes when this happens is my drinking "Red Bull" can this cause bloody or red urine. I have no pain or other symptoms.
Hi, To find out if you have blood in the urine, we have to look at the urine report. Blood in the urine may be gross hematuria which means many red cells in the urine. Gross hematuria can be seen with our eyes as red urine. There is another type called microscopic hematuria where red cells are seen under the microscope. If red cells or red cells casts are present in the urine along with protein in the urine it means there is a kidney problem especially in a structure called glomerulus. Red cells or Frank blood in the urine may occur more commonly due to stones. It may also be seen with certain infections. Above the age of 40, we also try to rule out the possibility of kidney or bladder cancer. Certain medicines and certain food items may color the urine red but in this case the urine report is negative for blood or red cells. A condition called hemoglobinuria where the muscles are affected may cause red urine. The first step therefore is to read the urine report. Blood in the urine is usually investigated with an ultrasound initially follower by other tests according to the most likely cause. Should you require further assistance, please post your urine, blood and other reports here so that I may provide you more information regarding your query. Best regards, Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have cough since 2 weeks, I took avil tablet for 3 days ,half tablet at a time and stopped. The cough has reduced after that but 2 days again the cough has started and then I took half tablet avil and it got controlled a bit. I dont have any mucous or yellow color sputum. 4 weeks back I had yellow sputum so I took Novomax antibiotic and it has reduced but the cough is still persisting. mY age is 27, height is 5feet 4inch,weight is 65. I take iron tablets some times as I am anaemic a bit. I am unable to know what kind of a cough it is and why it is still persisting..please give me some advice and anything to worry. .
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having Chat Doctor. This is commonly seen with 1. Lung infection like tuberculosis of pneumonia 2. Bronchitis 3. Allergic cough. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray to rule out lung infection. 3. PUT (pulmonary function test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. 4. Eosinophil count and total serum IGE level to rule out allergic cough. On the basis of above reports, you man need antibiotic or anti-tubercular

I had reconstructive surgeries done last year - removal of excess skin and had my arms done. I believe I have lympoedema as I believe the surgeon removed lymp nodes unnecessarily. What happens if there is no cure for the edema - this is very painful. what should i do
Hi you had removal of excess skin and had your arms done. You have a suspicion that that your lymph nodes have been unnecessarily removed, and you have lymphedema. In my opinion you should consult your surgeon as to why it has been removed and what is the treatment for it now. I am sure he will help you.

Hey Doctor Mintz I currently take losartan 50mg per day for high blood pressure . My blood pressure usually runs about 145 over 88 while on losartan. I am 58 years old white male. Here is my question: I had a upper repitory infection 2 weeks ago went on a Zpac of anitibiotics for 6 days and it seemed to clear me up for about a week now I am having trouble again and feel as though I am getting another upper respitory event same as before.? Should I suspect Losartan as the problem? I have not had issue before? Should I taper off the 50 mg per day and cut it to 25mg? or go off it slowly all together? THanks John

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Question: Hey Doctor Mintz I currently take losartan 50mg per day for high blood pressure . My blood pressure usually runs about 145 over 88 while on losartan. I am 58 years old white male. Here is my question: I had a upper repitory infection 2 weeks ago went on a Zpac of anitibiotics for 6 days and it seemed to clear me up for about a week now I am having trouble again and feel as though I am getting another upper respitory event same as before.? Should I suspect Losartan as the problem? I have not had issue before? Should I taper off the 50 mg per day and cut it to 25mg? or go off it slowly all together? THanks John ### Answer: Hello There After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that losartan is not causing such issues but is recommended for you to consult a chest physician personally for proper physical and diagnostic evaluation and treatment.

I read that gastritis may be masking a case of ovarian cancer. It was a recent article but I dont remember where. My wifes mother died from ovarian cancer. She has one sister (out of 3) who has had breast cancer twice. Christina, my wife has had gastritis for months now. Her doctor performed endoscopy and found everything appears normal. Christinas gynecologist performed an exam including ultrasound over 2 years ago and found nothing unusual. What are the chances of Christina having ovarian cancer? Shouldnt she have a complete exam at least once a year? Medicare wont pay for more than once every 2 years. Is there a good blood marker for ovarian cancer besides CA125? Thanks!! ...Ron
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Gastritis is inflammation of the mucosa of stomach in reaction to increased amount of acid formation. It is unlikely for gastritis to be responsible for ovarian cancer. However, if there is cancer ovary in her family then your wife might do an ovarian cancer tumor marker test. There is a blood test called CA 125 which is a cancer marker test for ovarian cancer. This is a simple test and tells a possibility of cancer in the ovary. This is not related to gastritis. Doing this test once a year will benefit her. Please do not worry.

Hi my name is vinod ,something has been appearing on my skin and it only appears when I itch it it looks like red rashes. It spreads around my body like a swelling,then later the swelling reduces. What can be the problem and do you have any prescription i can use?
Hi, Vinod,Thanks for your query. You might have some allergy. May be due to internal OE external causes. Find out the cause and avoid it. Take anti histamine like cetirizine or Levi cetirizine as and when required. Go for blood sugar to rule out diabetes. Ok and bye.

age is 26 and height is 5 6"and weight is 42 kg. i have a 15 months baby .before i was 48 kg but in a month i loose my weight around 5 kg .i eat lot a fruit and meal(lunch and dinner).but i feel like stress everytime.so pls give some tips 4 gain weight
Hi, Your weight loss seems to be related to the underlying stress that you mentioned. Once that is treated, your weight will recover spontaneously. You should consult a psychiatrist for complete evaluation and initiating treatment. Anti-depressants like sertraline will help to overcome your stress. Alternatively mirtazapine can be used as anti-depressant which has one of the effects of weight gain. You should also start exercising daily. It will help you relax and feel better and also help in improving your physical health. I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.

I have had a head cold and productive cough for about 3 weeks. I have not felt bad (with the exception of being stopped up) or ran fever the whole time. Now my back hurts on the left side and it feels like I may have pulled something. Could this have any correlation?
Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the Chat Doctor. My recommendation is to visit your local doctor to rule out pneumonia, any infection or inflammation involving the spine etc. In case of a bad pneumonia you may have back pain, so occurs in spinal pathology. In cough and fever for more than 2 weeks, tuberculosis must also be ruled out. Any other lung pathology should also be ruled out. A complete blood count, CRP, sputum for microscopic examination and culture, chest X-ray pa view may be done. Your doctor will decide whether any further investigation will be needed depending upon the clinical findings. For any further questions please write back to us. Regards.

My son is almost 15 months old, around 30 inches and around 22 lbs and was bitten 2 weeks ago by 2 mosquitos and the raised as they normally would and went away. Well the 24th of this month he woke up from his nap and where the bite areas where, he had large welts. Took him to the doctor and they said he had some sort of skin infection and the put him on antibiotics. Those are clearing now. Now, he woke up this morning and he had a very large welt on the top of his head with 2 pin head sized pustule(sp) sacks and 2 more forming. Please tell me what is wrong with my baby. The doctor that I took him to did no know anything of what he was doing. He told me that he didn t know what my son has and that he would have his wife look at it. Well she did and she told me that she didn t know but it needed to have a culture done because it was pustule(sp). Well he got everything ready and and started to wipe the area off before culturing. Well he wiped to hard and busted the pustule sacks, and then tried to say there was nothing there to culture. Please tell me what is wrong with my baby and what can I do. Thank you so much for your time.
Hi... I feel that your child might be having urticaria or a sort of skin allergy or insect bite allergy, which is getting secondarily infected as there is pustule formation. I suggest that you use AMOXICILLIN CLAVULENATE or clindamycin as a course for 7 days along with topical application of Mupirocin ointment. Regards -

Hi, I fell on my left foot 3 weeks ago playing basketball. I went to the doctors and they took and xray and it came out to be fractured. A piece of bone chipped off the ankle on the left side. I was given a splint to stabilize the ankle and given crutches. A week ago I was finally able to walk on my foot, but now I realize that when I move my toes or my foot I get a a burn feeling. If my foot sits there on idle it gives me this tingling feeling? Did I damage the sensory nerve in my foot cause of the fall? Is there some cream I can put on there? The burning feeling is preventing me from being able to therapy my foot because of the pain. If I touch my foot it does feel numb at parts. I have been icing and elevating my foot everyday for 3 three weeks and have even used Epsom salt to have the swelling go down.
Hello, I have studied your case. Numbness can be due to nerve dysfunction. You can take vitamin B12 for reducing symptoms. Vitamin B12 is important in the maintenance of health and normal functioning of the nerve tissue and deficiency of it can lead to numbness. You can increase B12 level by taking meat and fish, or you can take In methylcobalamine 1500 mcg If not relieved then I will advise you to MRI ankle and EMG/CV [nerve conduction study for better diagnosis. For these symptoms neurotrophic [Pregabalin] medication can be started consulting your doctor. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.

Hello, I am a dentist and I believe one of my patients has developed a tic Doulouex. It is a mild case but it began right after having a root canal done on his lower second molar by a vey good specialist on the ipselatereral side. The trigger point is about where the trigeminal nerve exists the mandible on the surface of the skin. This is extremely rare to me so I dont know how to treat it or who to refer it to. Can you give me a suggestion?
Greetings from Chat Doctor members, Dear Doctor, I have understood your query. It is very important to first confirm the diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia as many other medical and dental conditions have similar presentation of pain. Improper diagnosis may lead to patient dis-satisfaction and with Chat Doctor. Once you come to definite diagnosis, then comes the treatment choices. There are a number of medications that control the pain of trigeminal neuralgia. The most commonly prescribed first line

my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter had a rash, hive like, on back of her neck, then on her back. didn t see them on chest as of about 4 pm. Had itchy scalp later. Probably due to adult shampoo used for first time. Gave benedryl. Is it necessary to do more tonight?
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. By what you quote it should be an urticaria or a simple skin allergy. You can use HY Chat Doctor. Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine, but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your pediatrician. Regards -

Upon inspecting my penis today, I noticed what looked like blood around the tip. It feels as if there is a small cut or something of the sort just inside the urethra. I have not done anything today to have caused this, and only noticed just now before I got in the shower.
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum In short: Do you have pain? Explanation: Cut cannot occur as it is, without pain. Do you have pain? If yes then apply point soframycinover there and wait for 3-4 days. If it does not subside then visit a doctor. If there is no pain then it's not a cut and stop inspecting your penis like this inside urethra.

I have a history of a hernia which was diagnosed 2 years ago. Today is the first day that I noticed I did not have my normal bulge which has been there for 10 years. I was admitted to the hospital yesterday after passing out following a bowel, I was discharged today from the hospital because they thought I had a cardiac issue, I have never had this type of issue before. The day before I wore a tight girdle which provided much relief from a large hernia that I was diagnosed with 2 years ago. I kept asking if by wearing the girdle I could have caused an issue with the bowel, I was told no. While I was in the hospital, I have had no appetite and I shared concerns that when I tried to eat anything today it caused discomfort in my abdomen. I also developed a headache on the left side. Since I have been home I have vomited just a little, have not urinated or had a bowl movement, I have a sharp pain on my right side and pain in my back which is also on the right side, and woke up with night sweats. Is this something to be concerned about now or can I wait till morning.
Hello! Thank you for the query. The main problem with hernia is that it may stick and cause bowels obstruction. And you never know when and if its happens. Typical symptoms of bowels obstruction are nausea, vomiting, lack of stool and gasses, bloating and sometimes cramps. The other thing is that you have also urinating problems and back pain. This makes kidney infection very possible. Actually with bowels obstruction kidney infection can appear as you do not absorb water and do not urinate enough. Both conditions can be life-threatening. That is why you should not wait with them. Please go to ER. Urinalysis, abdominal x-ray and ultrasound are necessary. Surgery might be the only treatment. Hope this will help. Regards.

hi i have epigastric pain about three weeks and i t stopped for two days but now i am feeling in whole body. sometimes have breathing problems and passing through urine feeling burning and coulor changes sometime please tell what it could be thank you
Welcome to Chat Doctor You are probably having urinary tract infection which explains the burning micturition. Is there any blood in urine. The pain you experience is due to probable gastritis which can also cause breathlessness, nut to be safe better to get an ECG done to rule out heart problems which can also cause similar picture. Eat bland diet, less fat, more semisolid and cool. Chat Doctor. Eat fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Better to get your urine tested at Urologist Clinic and if necessary get your stomach examined by endoscopy to look for ulcers.
