I had a hysterectomy and bladder surgery a week ago. For the last two days I have had a metallic taste in my mouth it is accompanied with indegestion or sour stomach . I did have to take laxatives for 4 days. However I did not take it today because I thought they may be the cause . The taste makes me very nausea . Is this normal and is there anything I can do to get rid of the taste?
|
Reclothe symptoms point towards the side effects of the medicines you might have taken or may be still taking after the surgery. Just wait for the course of medicines to finish. For sour stomach, you may take some antacid like pantoprazole 40 mg daily on empty stomach for few days. Do inform your treating doctor. Thanks

HELLO: A few weeks ago I awoke with a pain in my groin. Thought it was a sports injury and eventually visited my GP. She ordered an Xray, physio and Tylenol. The physio therapist said it was an injury to the pectineous muscle and the Xray indicates osteoarthritis. I have been very active for many years and enjoy swimming and weight lifting. Do you think this is a combination of both or could it simply be the pectineous muscle and is there any hope of the pain going away? Thank you for any comments you might have. Barbara

Hi there, sorry to hear about the pain. Osteoarthritis is a disease that progresses with age, so the pain and stiffness would likely get worse with time. However, if you think pain control and physiotherapy are the right way to go. At some point, I would recommend seeing an orthopedic surgeon to discuss possible surgical options particularly hip replacement. Another option is injection into the hip - this is a specialized procedure usually done by orthopedic surgeons or special radiologists and provides temporary pain relief.

Bruise or grinding of teeth is unrelated to worm infestation and could occur due to a number of harmless causes. However, it might be reasonable to deform a child of this age on yearly basis with two doses of albendazole repeated at a fortnight interval. Most of the fevers in child Chat Doctor. Iron contains ibuprofen and paracetamol combination and is more effective than paracetamol (cal pol) and if that too is not effective, you may try metonymic acid (Metal P) which is better in relieving temperature.

Hi there,I have a larger lump on my forearm - just noticed it - feels like I hit my arm really hard, which I didnt, and it shows no bruising - but it is an area of what feels like swollen tissue. It is like a golfball is sticking out of my arm, not sore to touch and slightly pink in colour, minor itchiness? It is not a solid mass either.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some ganglion cyst or other benign cyst like sebaceous cyst. You should go for examination. If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

YES! I HAVE A FRIEND WHOSE DAUGHTER IS DIAGNOSED AS AUTISTIC AND IS HAVING SEIZURES.HER MEDICATION FOR SEIZURES WAS RECENTLY CHANGED AND NOW THEY ARE COMING MORE FREQUENTLY. MY FRIEND IS SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER CAN YOU HELP HER? Im GIVING YOU HER EMAIL ADDRESS.Oh! I didnt realize this was a pay per answer thing. sorry to bother you.

Hi. If you would like, you can ask your friend to publish her question to our public forums. Those are free, but unfortunately there is no guarantee that the question will be answered right away. From what you've said here. Let me try and give you some basic information. That you can transmit to your friend. The management of seizures through medication can be quite tricky. Medical science still doesn't know a single one shot cure-all for the problem since there are SO MANY causes. When it comes to putting someone on a medication regime for epilepsy (seizure disorder), different medications will have different effects, and it takes time (and quite a lot of patience on the patient and families part) to get the right system down. The other thing is that when you change the medications, the older Chat Doctor.

i m intendinng to do an IVF , I was supposedd to start tomorrow. my husbend suffered from and infection in his tooth toot canal he started the treatment with the dentist today, the dentist sugested that we shouldn t start the IVF now because the white blood cells will be high now and this has very bad affect on the sperm count. Is this true or should I start anyway??? plz answer me quickly
|
Hello, Any infection can lead to a rise in the white blood cell count and this could affect the sperm count, but the concept is yet to be confirmed as this is still undergoing studies. Any rise in the body temperature can also decrease sperm count as the local temperature of the scrotum goes up. So, in view of this, I suggest that you discuss the matter with your doctor before you go for IVF in this cycle. You may be able to proceed if the sperm count and activity is normal. Good luck.

Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. There are both possibility of soft tissue injury and bony injury(fractures).

My 3 yr old son has a small red flat dot above his lip. It has no drainage or swelling, and has remained the same size (like a pinprick). It doesn t go away. I have tried OTC cortisone and neosporin. If I put vasoline, it looks better but doesn t completely go away. It is a perfect circle and flat. He recently went through a round of antibiotics for an infection and the dot remained. It doesn t hurt him but my pedi and I don t know what it is. He has no significant medical history. I am looking for a pedi-dermatologist in my area. My pedi doesn t believe it s anything to be concerned about. My son does have sensitive skin and a hx of eczema - last bout was 2 yrs ago. He tends to wipe his and rub his mouth a lot.

Hi I had a molar extracted last Thursday right next to my letf ear and my gum is still a little tender, but I noticed today that I am experiencing my head spinning in a way similar to when I had labyrinthitis earlier this year, could this be a recurrence?
|
Hi, Thanks for posting the query, If you are having history of labyrinths I would suggest you to get the checkup done once. Extraction of wisdom usually does not lead to such type of complications, generally it is associated with swelling, pain, nausea, dizziness which subsides after sometimes by its own. You just follow the post extraction instructions given to you properly. Take care!

Hello Dr.I have burning pain in my left thigh and hip area, accompanied by a slightly swollen lymph node. The pain is beneath the skin, the surface is cool to the touch. I have been diagnosed with shingles type symptoms in the past, however I have not had the lesion on my lower tail bone area this time.( Have been very run down with little sleep, and high stress lately) Is this possibly a symptom of one of the herpes viruses?
|
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have enlarged inguinal lymph node. It can be due to some infection. Chances of herpesvirus are low. You should take antibiotics treatment. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. 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. Wish you a very good health.

I went to the dentist earlier in the week. I had a tooth that was hurting and swollen gums . The xray revealed nothing and he thought it was my bite. He filed down the tooth and sent me on my way. I am in allot of pain now. I take aleve but have trouble couping. I will have to miss work tomorrow and see my dentist again. My gums on the upper left side are very swollen, painful and may be infected. My jaw is throbbing and I still think the tooth may be infected. What do you think? Thanks
|
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. Since your gums are swollen, there is chance of periapical infection. Usually x-ray will reveal such infections. If periapical abscess occurs, teeth has to be root-canal treated, the abscess has to be Chat Doctor. Deep scaling and root planning has to be done to prevent gingivitis. Maintain good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice daily using toothbrush. Rinse your mouth after every meal. Chlorhexidine mouth rinses can prevent plaque accumulation. Take care

Hi. Behind my last tooth, my wisdom tooth, on my right side of my mouth i have some kind of a sore. It is red and has a white thing on top. It is very painful. It hurts when i eat or just touch it. I have had it for 2 days now. I am in another country and cannot seek medical treatment at this time. Could this be a gum ulcer? And what can i do to treat it and make the pain go away? Thank you!
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The symptoms you have mentions suggests peritonitis (inflammation of the flap around the wisdom tooth). I would advise you to take a painkiller like ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medicine) for the pain. Keep the area clean as any food debris left behind will aggravate the condition. Do warm saline gargling and NOT apply anything hot from outside to relieve pain. Visit your as soon as possible and get it checked. Hope this was beneficial. Thanks and regards.

Hi. You didn't mention the site of pain. If the pain got relieved with HP kit, it may be due to Duodenal ulcer/Gastric ulcer. Please avoid Spicy diet, fast food etc. Please take any proton pump inhibitors when the pain recurs. All the best.

Welcome to Ask a Doctor . Please type your question here...I broke my tibia and fibula playing soccer 12 months ago. I got a rod and screws put into my leg. It took my bones 10 months to finally heal, I had to use a bone stimulator. Now that they re healed, my doctors said that I could go back to playing soccer but I m still experiencing a lot of pain in my leg while running, to the point where I can t run anymore.
|
Hi, You have broken both the major bones of the leg. Almost complete recovery is possible. But keep in mind that it will take a long duration. Long term physiotherapy is also required. Consult a psychiatrist and he will direct you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

hello doctor , i used to mastebate and i am doing it since the age of 14 , about 3 to 4 times a day , and i am 18 now doctor and suddenly today when i was masterbating the sperm didnt come out and it is still not comming out i am very worried doctor i dunno waht to do
|
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. If this happened just once then there is no reason to be worried but if this happens again then it may be signed of certain disorders, in first case retrograde ejaculation. Other causes include prostate issues or STDs. At this point you should just wait and see if this will happen again and if yes, you should do prostate ultrasound and spectrogram to see what is going on. Also, if there is burning pain during urination then this may be indicating urinary stone which is the possible cause of missed ejaculation and in that case you'll need urologic consultation. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.

My friend asked me to look into this, and I haven t found anything so far Basically she thinks these occurrences are anxiety based. But when she was little (5-11 mainly) around the end of the year she would take 3 hours to fall asleep, and 2 hours in to it she would wake up in a panic. She told me she felt like nothing was right that she was near, for instance her blanket was too thick or her bed was too hard and she would throw things because she couldn t find anything right. It has happened hardly ever I guess, but she just wanted to know what this could be. Also, one of these occurrences was the day before a holiday, which is also where she got this idea it is anxiety related

Hi Forum. It is definitely a psychological problem. Usually happens due to some incident occurred before a holiday or during night which made her scared of. I advise her to consult a psychiatrist for diagnosis treatment

Last year my B12 was low and following a 2nd set of blood tests I was told that this had raised to within the normal range and to start taking multivitamins with B12. I have recently had another blood test done, as I always seem to be tired and suffering from migraines. I have been taken off HRT (I started quite young at 36) and migraines have improved, however I am still extremely tired. My blood test showed that I was within the low range of normal and a 2nd test 4 weeks following coming off HRT remains the same (180). If my count has been on the low side of normal (I understand the range is 170 to 900), do you think I would be entitled to ask for a therapeutic trial of B12 injections? This is affecting my ability to work (I couldn t save a couple of files on Tuesday) and had to take yesterday off work as I was totally exhausted.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If you have low vitamin B12 level then you should go for injectable vitamin B12 therapy. It will improve your B12 level and your overall general health. There is no harm in taking b12 injection. 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. Wish you a very good health.

Hello Doctor,Im 32 yrs. and have two childern ages 10 & 12. I was diagnos with a mild case of Von Williebrands disease and I have always have had Irregular periods. When I was younger in my teen years I hardly ever had my periods and now it wont stop. I have been on my cycle for 2 months at times light and at times very heavy. I have also been trying to have another child for the last 9 yrs. and no luck. I do realize my weight needs to drop at least 50lbs but this has been a problem since before I gained weight. I really want another child. What test would you recommend me doing no one seems to know anything please help...thank you!!

On Willie brands disease does not stop you from getting pregnant. Yes bleeding can be more during delivery or during menses because of less capability of blood to clot. But as the age increases the quality of eggs (Ovum) starts decreasing and less chance of getting pregnant. There is also hormonal lag along with body weight and other things leads to menstrual cycle and as you have irregular menses there is chance that they are disturbed. You have to lose weight. And get a consultation done with infertologist. He will guide you properly after examination and history. On a baseline you should do mammogram, Prolactin, Blood sugar level, Insulin level, Thyroid level. And one Pelvic sonography. Some tests may require afterward. Do one semen analysis report of your husband also. It is also to be normal for getting pregnant.

Dear DoctorMy results came back from a chest Xray and the impression was borderline cardiomegaly with no acute abnormality. I am female, 69, have a history of asthma, have been a runner/walker for 25+ years, and have had a pacemaker for 1 & 1/2 years. Should I be concerned about this?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Borderline cardiomegaly on chest x-ray should be evaluated for heart failure. Yoi are also having pacemaker since 1 year. So better to get done 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If heart function is normal on these tests then no need to worry. But if heart function is reduced then you will need diuretic, digoxin and other cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My husband is complaining of stomach discomfort over the past few days. Feels like he needs to poop but then a little poop may or may not come out. If he bends over or binds up his stomach then hurts more. Standing or stretching abdomin out feels better. Not killer pain like gallstones, nagging pain that makes him feel like he needs to go. When bladder fills up the pain increases. No problems urinating. Did have gas and had clear, runny, sticky, type discharge...no blood. He is starting to drink lots of water with lemon and peppermint oil (doTERRA). To help flush things out. Is the discharge some sort of warning sign for something serious or just mucus build up due to constipation?
|
Howell come to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern and I could say that this could be intestinal infection and protozoa would be likely and this can be treated with Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day for five days, hope this information helps.

What would you call these symptoms? I fall a lot and have weakness and shake when I try to get up from sitting down. I have type 2 diabetes with high blood pressure and neuropathy in my legs and hands. I also have sleep apnea and a horse shoe shaped kidney the right side is smaller so the doctor put a stint in that side the needs replacing every 3 months.
|
Hello and Welcome to Ask a Doctor have reviewed your query regarding your symptoms and the question of what do they indicate. The symptoms you describe are typical of the ravages uncontrolled high blood sugar and blood pressure have on your body, nerves, autonomic nervous system and other organs. The kidneys are not receiving adequate blood flow, the neuropathy will affect balance, coordination and tremors and any excess weight typically associated with type 2 diabetes will worsen sleep apnea. My advice to you is to get your blood sugar under control through a carboy Chat Doctor.

Hi, My mum has a throbbing pain at the back of her head (behind the ear) and sometimes at the back and center of the neck . She s in her late 40s. She suspects it might have something to do with her hair coloring as she is allergic to most hair colors. The pain occurred the same day she colored her hair and it has been 7 days since the pain started. She has also suffered lower back problems. Kindly analyse these symptoms and help. Thank you.

Hi, my period was due today and I have had no signs of it yet however for the last week I have been having a light to dark brown discharge which appears to be getting lighter (almost non-existent today). I had a miscarriage in October and have been trying to get pregnant again. Could I be pregnant?

I think you could be but wait for few days and then go for UPT test. By these symptoms you can't tell anything with surety.

Hi Dr. I am 30 years old and have been trying to get pregnant for 5.5 months with no successs. My doctor recently checked my hormone levels and said she is concerned that I am at the borderline levels that suggest that suggest that I may no be ovulating. I also had an ultrasound done which revealed I had one cyst on either ovary which radiologist and doctor thinks are cyst that should clear with my next period. I am worried about being infertile.
|
Dear patient! Checking your ovaries during a single cycle are not conclusive. Your doctor is right. You have to monitor your follicles for at least 3-4 cycles to check if you are ovulating. Similarly, the hormonal levels also depend on the time of your cycle at which they are performed. Anyhow, for a more conclusive answer, kindly send in your hormone levels. Yet, don't be discouraged at all. Wait for repeat Ultrasounds and hormone levels. You are fertile until and unless proven otherwise. Hope my answer satisfies you. Awaiting your precious feedback.

I saw a dentist yesterday and the doctor said that i have dental plaques and it has to be reomoved other wise i will get severe infection of the gums and teeth, Is it true. What are theses Dental plaques. How are they removed.
|
Hello there, Dental plaque is the soft deposits formed by bacterial colonization in the oral cavity due to poor oral hygiene habits like improper brushing and flossing habits. Accumulation of bacterial plaque deep in the gum pockets and root surfaces of teeth leads to gingival inflammation know as gingivitis. Gingivitis presents with symptoms of redness, bleeding gums, swelling, pain, recession and sensitivity and even mobility of teeth and exfoliation if not treated in time. It needs to be treated by thorough professional deep scaling of gums and root planing of the teeth to remove all the irritants, this will help in resolving the symptoms followed by a course of antibiotic and analgesics. I hope this helps, take care.

Hi, so 36 hours ago, we realized my son (age 5, weight 43 lbs) had a fever of 102 (after playing fine all day) and had a swollen gum around one tooth. The fever is still off and on, but now both his top and bottom gums are completely swollen. He threw up once ~24 hours ago, but other than that does not complain of his stomach hurting. Any idea what this is or should I take him in to see the doctor or dentist, or both?
|
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as your son has fever this swollen gums it can be secondary to viral fever it can be Viral dermatitis or swelling can be related to carious tooth, decayed tooth, root stump present, gingival enlargement due to gingival inflammation, periodontal problem may periodontitis also. I will suggest you to consult dentist for examination of swollen gum and rule out the cause of swelling, in meanwhile you can advise her to do warm saline gargle, you can apply ointment like gum paint on gums to reduce inflammation. Hope this will help you.

I have what look like mosquito bites, red bumps that itch like crazy and have spread from leg to leg to torso to neck. Maybe have twenty total with a few new ones popping out daily. Woke up and found two new ones on my neck. They have a little ooze from them after about a day.
|
Hi, It seems that you may be having lichen ultimatum.also called popular urticaria. It is a hypersensitive creation to insect bites. The insects may be bed bug, flea, mosquito or some other. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. I advise in my patients having such disease..... oral steroids in tampering dose and antihistamines like levocetirizine. And to apply mild steroid cream on the lesions. Take all precaution to prevent insect bite. Avoid soap bath. You may use detail in water for bath. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.

My son is a 18 year old college Freshman. He is also a Varsity football player. He has been experiencing a shooting pain below his left rib cage. The pain only happens 1 or 2 times a day and lasts for 10-15 minutes. The pain is random and does not seem effected by what/when he eats, physical activity, etc. No pain to cough, breath heavy, or push on the area. Also noticed a pulse like feeling in the area. Going to MD this week after seeing team ATC. Any ideas. Could this be stress related?
|
Hi.thanks for using ChatDoctorthis pain could be simply due to some unknown trauma to that area or, any muscular pain, or sometimes insignificant pleuritic pain, Sometimes with stress induced gastritis or due to any cardiac problem.in case of very much persisting pain you can go ahead with an ECG,2D-ECHO,CHEST X-RAY, & upper GI endoscopy. Please rule out for all these problems, take care

The pain only happens 1 or 2 times a day and lasts for 10-15 minutes. The pain is random and does not seem effected by what/when he eats, physical activity, etc. No pain to cough, breath heavy, or push on the area. Also noticed a pulse like feeling in the area. Going to MD this week after seeing team ATC. Any ideas. Could this be stress related?
### Answer: Hi.thanks for using ChatDoctorthis pain could be simply due to some unknown trauma to that area or, any muscular pain, or sometimes insignificant pleuritic pain, Sometimes with stress induced gastritis or due to any cardiac problem.in case of very much persisting pain you can go ahead with an ECG,2D-ECHO,CHEST X-RAY, & upper GI endoscopy. Please rule out for all these problems, take care

Recently, I had not been feeling well...unusual feelings in my chest although not pain. I visited my family Dr and he did an EKG and said it was abnormal. He scheduled a stress test for me but not for 2 weeks. In the meantime, I developed an absessed tooth and am scheduled to have a root canal in 5 days. I am 52 and have been in good health although I am on 5mg of a blood pressure medicine and 5 mg of a cholesterol medicine. I have some family history with a brother who had a heart attach at 55. Is is dangerous for me to have the root canal before I get the reults of the stress test?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The root canal treatment is a non-surgical simple procedure, You can get it done unless your blood pressure is under normal limits. You can continue the medicines for blood pressure and consult an endodontist and get the treatment done. Stress test has nothing to do with root canal treatment. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

I had 2 stent put in my main heart artery in January. I am scared to death it may not last. I can find nothing on the internet to give me any hope. 1 artery is fully clogged and the other 2 are badly clogged.I am 73 years old and wonder if a complete by pass is and able to be in my future?

Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I totally understand your concern. It is very difficult to give an opinion just by this short story. But I will try to explain you something. It is quite known in cardiology that stent stenosis might happen. This risk is higher during the first 6 months and then decreases. But there are other possibilities after a stent re-stenosis like angioplasty with balloon, stent-intra stent implantation that mean that you might implant a stent into the obstructed stent, always depending on the type of your first stent and the characteristic of the stenosis. And the last option when the other are not possible is by-pass surgery that you all ready know. So, yes...if your three arteries have problems and your stents get stenosis you might end to bypass surgery. If this is technically possible or not depends on the characteristics of your coronary arteries and the positions of stenosis. The risk of bypass surgery depends on your age, your heart function and other organs functions. But you should not worry. You do have possibilities to go quite well. There are a lot of possibilities today with a good chronic medical treatment, angioplasty and by pas' surgery. Wish I was helpful. Best regards.

MRI REPORT:-diffuse areas of restricted diffusion in the bilateral basal ganglia fronto temporal cortical reson, mid brain and upper pons posterioli which shows subtle patchy enhancement. these most likely represent underlying changes of accute encephalomyelitis/encephalitis. hello my sister is suffering from tuberculous viral meningitis from past 7 weeks her age is 17 years...after she had been discharged from hospital her behavious is not normal and her diet also increased by 3 times..she is very violent and always do the opposite of what we tell her to do...please help me in this case as we have also consulted a psychiatrist from past 5 days but there is no such improvement in her case...will she be recovered from her mental disorder?

This is a case of organic mental illness. Your sis have abnormalities in her brain n the frontotemporal lobe of the brain governs the behavior of the person and the temporal lobe in particular is for reception of auditory perception means she is not able to process whatever you are saying to her. These all abnormal findings in brain due to tubercular meningitis will recover gradually with medications but if it leaves behind some residual abnormality then there will be some abnormality in her behavior permanently. She must be on treatment for tuberculosis, she shut complete the course of the treatment which must be of longer duration mostly of 6 to 9 months n during these period her behavior can be managed with antipsychotic medications. It will be wise to start any antipsychotics after careful observation of the symptoms on the part of the treating psychiatrist.

i have a kidney cyst measuring 2.5 cm. i have burning type pain on urination, frequency of urination and lower abdominal and left sided back pain. my urine mcs gave a result of RBC - 71 and WBC - 467. does this mean just a simple UTI or could the presence of RBC be of another concern?
|
Hello . The amount of white blood cells and red blood cells that you are passing in your urine are significant and is not merely related to only urinary tract infection, we can not neglect your kidney cyst, having said that the description and size of your kidney cyst are incomplete, you should see whether the cyst is simple or have septations within, making it complex in nature. If your earlier ultrasound doesn't gave this information than is suggested you to go for another scan and ask the monologist same information. Your further management depends on that.

I knocked my shin at work a week ago. When I got home, there was a fist sized bump at the point of impact. I was able to go nack to work for the rest of the week. Today the swelling hasn t really gone down, its just spread out. Painful to the touch. And is like hard putty (i can leave an indentation with my finger). Its more painful to walk on it today than 5 days ago. It has minimal bruising, but the bruising is down 8 inches around my ankle.
|
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From your history, it seems to be a hematoma initially due to the trauma, which now got inflamed, and if not treated might turn into an abscess. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for an anti-inflammatory along with a proton pump inhibitor along with a broad spectrum antibiotic, which might relieve the inflammation and some kind of pressure bandage might be needed to get it absorbed gradually. If not, you might have to get it assessed by a general surgeon in your area. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

I am an asthma sufferer but it was very miled and hardly i have to take medicine once or twice in a year. but recently a disease named as GERD has develop in me and since then the condition of asthma worsen and i have to take ashthalin inhaler regularly. I s any advive for me?
|
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I would like to know your age. At present, I assume that you are a young adult or a middle-aged adult. GERD is Gastroesophageal reflux disease, in simple language, contents from your stomach enter esophagus in an abnormal way that causes any of the symptoms like regurgitation, nausea, vomiting, burning in chest or epigastric, etc. Normally a valve (sphincter) is present at lower end of esophagus which prevents this. Due to various factors, this preventing mechanism is disturbed and causes HERD. As you are having asthma, it is important for you to know that: 1. HERD can worsen asthma. 2. Some asthma medications like Stalin, theophylline may contribute to worsening of HERD. So at this stage, I would not suggest taking frequent Stalin inhaler by yourself. Of course, you will have to take when there is an acute exacerbation. From my view, managing HERD is your first priority and it's quite simple. I would suggest you daily proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole or pantoprazole or omeprazole or like) before meals for 6-8 weeks. Also, I would suggest you to avoid spicy & hot foods, all caffeinated Chat Doctor. Please do not eat till full stomach. Also, I would suggest you to have light meals in evening, it will be best for you if you could manage a short relaxing evening-walk after evening meals. Please stop smoking if you smoke. Also, weight reduction will help you if you are obese. Regarding asthma, as your asthma has worsened, I would suggest starting a regular preventer medication (such as inhaled corticosteroids or montelukast) which will decrease your need for Stalin inhalers. Hopefully, if you can control HERD, you will see an improvement in asthma control also. I would suggest you to consult a physician/pulmonologist for managing asthma who will suggest appropriate preventer medicine after detailed history & examination and explain how to use it. Both HERD and asthma take some time to improve, so please take your medications regularly. Wish you a fast recovery and best of the health. Regards.

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a bloody thigh lump, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is a sebaceous cyst! Nothing to worry about this and try not to get infected there! I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.

Hi, I have a sed rate that is slightly high. In June I had wrist pain on a camping trip and was tested for Lupus, Gout, ANA, and lymes. All came back normal. My WBC, Platelets and sed rate were high. in the past month the WBC came back normal, the platelets are almost back to normal and the sed rate came down by 2 points but I am still at 25. My Doc doesnt seem concerned. Should I be?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. There are many causes of high ESR. Tuberculosis, infection, anemia, autoimmune disease are the common causes. If you don't have any symptoms and your tests are negative then no need to worry. Many persons have slightly high ESR without any known disease or abnormality. So no need to worry. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hello Doc.... ummmm, I wiped out 4 days ago on the ice, flipped right back and smacked the back of my head... felt like I crushed it..... also ....right after.... it felt like there was a massive rush of blood streaming down my skull into my neck...weird.... it was internal.... i didnt break the skin.... I had all the symptoms of a mild concussion.... only lasted a hour, and i havent had to take any sort of pain relief... thus far .... but my head feels strange... ( p.s. only a walnut size bump at the very top... it is finally gone...) ---- I feel a little dizzy now and then - doesnt last long .... and my head feels weird ....do i need to worry? -- thank you for your time / response - Laurie
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. As you describe it appears that you had a hard injury to the head. Resulted in a bump, and it resolved. There is no vomiting, and unconscious less, so it may not be a concussion. Anyhow I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis or excluding the concussion. You may need to have a C.T.scan for diagnosis. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

I have had both knees replaced, right hip replaced, left foot reconstructed, left reverse shoulder replaced, back surgery where a cage was put in, among other surgeries. I had a MRI done last week and found my back has four disk blown and my neck has two disks blown. The surgeon said they could fuse my back but there is only a 10% chance it will help. The disk in my neck is causing headaches. They are going to do injections in it soon. My right foot is deformed and have been told I need reconstruction surgery on it also. I know the feet can affect the back and the back affects the legs. At this point I am not sure which way to turn. Although I have a high pain tolerance I know I am facing some serious pain. I do not want to live the rest of my life in a drug induced stupor from pain meds. In fact I will NOT exsist like that. Please give me some input.
|
Hello, Sorry to hear about the list of injuries you faced. Coming to the point, you mentioned that MRI is suggestive of Lumbar and cervical disc degenerative changes. Let's discuss this first and then the rest. What my experience taught me over a period of 12 years with cases related to injuries like you and others I will give my suggestion. First foremost, buy a soft neck collar and start using it. This will stabilize the bones of the cervical region and also will act as s support to the muscular system to allow less compression over the nerve. The disc injuries are most times self-healing, once the inflammation subsides you should not feel much pain. When using neck collar I will advise you to use on/off hot water fermentation so that the muscled which have undergone spasm will relax, and the pain will come down slowly. Along with this. You have lumbar disc degenerative changes, so why don't you first take hot water fermentation so that the muscles of the lumbar region gets relaxed and make you at least stable. Post this use 3-4 pillows and try McKenzie maneuver in passive way. The details of McKenzie you can find over the net. This will help centralize the pain and once the pain is centralized you can use hot water bag to again soothe the nerve roots. Once nerve root is relaxed the pain travelling in its course will reduce automatically. Post which after 5-7 days of doing this you can focus on exercises, but please continue the above advice as well. Exercise should focus on core stability, lower limb strengthening, upper limb strengthening and neck muscle strengthening. Slowly you will develop strength also and the inflammation on the nerve root will be reduced leading to the end result of improved lifestyle. If your pain symptoms are too high then a nerve block may be administered to the nerve root which may block the pain sensation for a couple of months. But if the muscles remain week still, it will again come back so doing the above-mentioned exercise will be of help to avoid recurrence of pain symptoms. Coming to the surgical management, there is possibility of removal of the torn disc element and also fusing the spine, but this may not make you get rid of the pain over all for long. The pain will be present throughout the life and need exercise for the same. This option I do not recommend unless and until the motor functions are compromised. Also, very important is the diet, what you eat is to be focused. Having food which can digest faster without leading to any gastritis should be kept in mind. As with gastritis there may be leading to two symptoms, one compression over the nerve in the lower spine and headache. Having a good diet plan will be good. Please do not ignore the hip and knee muscles as you have the replacement done in the past and the muscles are weak this may aggravate the spine curvature to deviate and lead to other symptoms. Coming to your ankle, I cannot comment much as the history is too brief to guide over anything. I am sorry for it. Please contact a local physical therapist who can show interest in you and give the maximum output. I have tried my best to put forth the best possible treatment plan which should help you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.
### Question: I have had both knees replaced, right hip replaced, left foot reconstructed, left reverse shoulder replaced, back surgery where a cage was put in, among other surgeries. I had a MRI done last week and found my back has four disk blown and my neck has two disks blown. The surgeon said they could fuse my back but there is only a 10% chance it will help. The disk in my neck is causing headaches. They are going to do injections in it soon. My right foot is deformed and have been told I need reconstruction surgery on it also. I know the feet can affect the back and the back affects the legs. At this point I am not sure which way to turn. Although I have a high pain tolerance I know I am facing some serious pain. I do not want to live the rest of my life in a drug induced stupor from pain meds. In fact I will NOT exsist like that. Please give me some input.
### Answer: Hello, Sorry to hear about the list of injuries you faced. Coming to the point, you mentioned that MRI is suggestive of Lumbar and cervical disc degenerative changes. Let's discuss this first and then the rest. What my experience taught me over a period of 12 years with cases related to injuries like you and others I will give my suggestion. First foremost, buy a soft neck collar and start using it. This will stabilize the bones of the cervical region and also will act as s support to the muscular system to allow less compression over the nerve. The disc injuries are most times self-healing, once the inflammation subsides you should not feel much pain. When using neck collar I will advise you to use on/off hot water fermentation so that the muscled which have undergone spasm will relax, and the pain will come down slowly. Along with this. You have lumbar disc degenerative changes, so why don't you first take hot water fermentation so that the muscles of the lumbar region gets relaxed and make you at least stable. Post this use 3-4 pillows and try McKenzie maneuver in passive way. The details of McKenzie you can find over the net. This will help centralize the pain and once the pain is centralized you can use hot water bag to again soothe the nerve roots. Once nerve root is relaxed the pain travelling in its course will reduce automatically. Post which after 5-7 days of doing this you can focus on exercises, but please continue the above advice as well. Exercise should focus on core stability, lower limb strengthening, upper limb strengthening and neck muscle strengthening. Slowly you will develop strength also and the inflammation on the nerve root will be reduced leading to the end result of improved lifestyle. If your pain symptoms are too high then a nerve block may be administered to the nerve root which may block the pain sensation for a couple of months. But if the muscles remain week still, it will again come back so doing the above-mentioned exercise will be of help to avoid recurrence of pain symptoms. Coming to the surgical management, there is possibility of removal of the torn disc element and also fusing the spine, but this may not make you get rid of the pain over all for long. The pain will be present throughout the life and need exercise for the same. This option I do not recommend unless and until the motor functions are compromised.

Hi, This is for my son who is 11 days old. i had a c section and and my baby had the normal bowel movements for the first 3 days (meconium). my baby is breast feeded and now he is not having bowel movement at all. he wets his diaper only 3 times a day. what i shud do ...
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child. A baby should pass urine at least 6 times a day and if the baby is not passing urine 6 times a day then the baby might be getting inadequate feed. You should feed the baby more regularly. A baby may pass stool 4 to 5 times a day or may pass stool only once in 5 to 6 days. Both these things are normal. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.

I fell skiing 2 weeks ago, injured my right hip. I had a good size black bruise which is going away, but i have a large bump of soft tissue that is still present. I cannot sleep on my right side because of the pain. Short distance walks are OK. Long distant as in a mile or more seem to irritate it.
|
Hello, The symptoms are consistent with a hematoma. It is nothing but a collection of blood underneath the skin. Generally it will settle by itself. In your case it is still there even after two weeks. Better to consult an orthopedic and plan for an ultrasound scan. If the size is large it has to be aspirated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have degenerative disk disease and have had several back surgeries. Three on my L4-L5 nerve root. Two were just clean ups. The last one a fusion with polycarbonate and a cage. The 4th on my L2-L3. It was just a clean up of fragmented disk particles. All affecting the left side. About 6 weeks ago I fell on some ice. I landed on my knee and jarred my back fairly hard. Ever since then, I have been having a tingling/vibrating feeling in where my upper thigh meets my genital area. Could this be caused from herniating a disk again?
|
You are getting numb in your groin area. If this pain is associated with backache or if any radiating type of history then you better show to your neurosurgeon and get an MRI of spine.

my son, almost three, has been passing stools with what looks like hair in it. i have long blond hair that i keep up and i notice that when he finds any hairs on the floor or couch, he likes to play with them and wrap them around his fingers and such. he doesn t seem to have any trouble passing stools...has at least 1 BM a day. and it s not an obscene amount of hair...maybe a few strands here and there. is this cause for concern?
|
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. Your cholesterol is not that high to be very worried. You may easily look after him and don't allow him to suck your hair, because it can cause phytobezoar : a concretion formed in the stomach or intestine and composed chiefly of undigested compacted vegetable and lead to surgery. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you and your baby a good health.

Hi, I woke this morning with an ear ache in my left inner ear which has continued all day (17hrs). About 6 hours into my day I started feeling sharp stabbing pain on the top left hand side of my head. The pain feels like it is on the outside/ scalp , not inside my head. If I push or massage the area with my finger it hurts. I don t always feel the pain (unless I push on the small 1cm area) but approximately twice an hour the pain hits the affected area like someone has pricked me with a needle. I have not done anything new or different lately. Can you provide some suggestions or do you need more info?
|
Hello Thanks for the query It looks like you are suffering from what it looks like supportive Otis media. Please do not neglect the issue and reach out for a ENT surgeon as soon as possible for an examination into the ear canal. Do not try pushing ear buds into the canal as it might worsen things I wish you good health Regards

Hello i want to ask you about connection between infection in a tooth and tonsillitis chronica. My dentist told me, that i have infection in my tooth, because she failed something and now i have tonsillitis chronica and nothing seems to help (i had duracef,bioparox and now klacid sr) Thank you for your help. Iam going to see my dentist in 2 weeks.
|
Hi, Thank you for the query. Tonsililitis chronic is an infection and oval shaped swelling of the lymph gland tissue located on both sides on the back of the throat caused because of the bacterial or viral infection. Presence of infection in the teeth and the tonsils are usually because of the same bacterial flora but the possibility of transfer from the teeth to the tonsils is very much less. Soo it indicates infection of the teeth itself. See your dentist and get the teeth treated.

Hi. I am lady aged 39. For the past two to three weeks I have been experiencing bloating on the right side and some pressure under my right rib cage. Normally it happens at nite when I am sleeping and I cant sleep on my left side because Id feel much pressure when sleeping on the left side, so I would sleep on my right side to put pressure on the discomfort. Id wake up and take a glass of warm water and the pain/pressure gets better and maybe pass a lot of gas. It happens ,ore often after eating dairy products, some vegetables and fizzy drinks especially coke. Was taking anxiety medicine last year for eight months. Have had birning sensation on my lower abdomen but has disappeared. Help
|
Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to accumulation of gas secondary to increased acid production in the stomach. Investigations like Sonogram or Upper GI endoscopy will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms. Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Pantoprazole preparation (to be taken twice a day before meals) & antacid gel (to be taken after meals). They prevent formation of excess acid in the stomach & provide symptomatic relief. And it is also needed that you take certain precautions regarding your diet & lifestyle, such as:1. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods.2. Chat Doctor.

Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Greetings from Chennai. By what you quote I feel what your kid could be having viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. I have a few questions for you -Questions:1. How many days per month does she cough or feel breathless?2. How many nights per month does her sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?3. Does she feel breathless when she runs around or plays with other kids?4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?6. Is the cough always associated with fever? If your answer is yes for any of the above questions, your kid might be having viral associated wheezing or multi triggered wheezing, and I suggest you meet a pediatric pulmonologist who is near your place. Regards -

I have been experiencing severe cramps in my thighs at night. Could these be caused by Bystolic? I take 5mg at night and 2.5 in the morning. I have had ultra sounds and varicose vein removal prior to taking Bystolic. I never experienced the cramps before taking this medication. All lab work returns perfect such as potassium and magnesium levels. I stay well hydrated, also. These cramps are unlike charley horses. They are extremely painful. I am unable to move much less walk when I have these. Any ideas and/or suggestions?And yes, I have tried putting a bar of soap under my mattress and drinking pickle juice and tonic water. I dread going to bed at night but am becoming exhausted. Please help. Thank- you

Dear Sir i am a man 30 years old having small stone in my right kidney my Doctor proscribed me syrop. Portrate MB, i could not find it in the drug store would you please guide me the exact name of the medicine as well as the dosage? YYYY@YYYY

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I can suggest you take potassium magnesium citrate, which is available as tablets, syrup or sachets. Different companies market the same product in various names, like Stone-1 MB6,Alston MB6, etc., which are same as Pot rate MB6. You should be able to get in most medical stores. Taking an alpha blocker like Alfuzosin with that, helps expel stone faster. If you send details to me as a direct question, i can give expert opinion. Chat Doctor. Wish you good health.

Hi, I have a small loose white piece of skin, like a skin flap, on my frenulum. Its been there for a while but havent thought much of it as it doesnt hurt, its not red and it hasnt seemed to grow, though it may have done slightly, I just couldnt say. It doesnt hurt in the slightest during sex or when I pull my foreskin back. I have regular sex with my girlfriend, and havent had multiple partners. I just know its there. Is this just quite normal? Can if be removed, or will it just heal itself in time? Thank you.

Hello this skin tag is not bothering you in any way, then there is no need to worry. Do not go for surgical procedure till it is not absolutely needed. Thanks.

Hiwelcome to ChatDoctorpain in teeth at this age could be because of teething or some calcium deficiency or underlying infection. For calcium deficiency you can give her CARFAX (Range) and for pain you can give her ibuprofen syrup, but it should be avoiding to give painkiller at this age for long. So I will advise to visit your pediatrician (dentist) and get an OPG ray done to reveal underlying problem and get treated for same. Thank you

I have had a cough for about a year and here recently I see that I cough up blood in the mucuse...it s not a lot but enough to make me wonder. I worked at crystal sugar and was subject to breathing lime dust among othere dusts. Could this possibly be linked?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your problem and situation. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done1. Chest x ray2. PUT (pulmonary function test) to rule out chronic lung infection and chronic bronchitis. Yes, you are right about crystal sugar and lime dust. Chronic exposure of both of these can cause pulmonary diseases. And blood in sputum (hemoptysis) is something, you should worry. It suggests worsening of underlying lung disease. So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.

If you are confirmed that she is suffering from schizophrenia, you can start giving her mouth dissolving preparation of antipsychotics like olanzapine or syrup risperidone mixed in her food, if she is unwilling to take medications.

Hello, Most probably a Gastroesophageal reflux disease. Do you also have upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, sour water feeling in throat or chest burning, these are the other symptoms and may be associated? You should avoid fatty, oily and spicy 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. Elevate head end of the bed or use pillows during sleep or rest. You should get prescribed tab Pan DSR 40 mg or omeprazole risperidone combination before breakfast once a day for 2 weeks. If not adequately relieved, then you should add SYR sacral O or genus two teaspoon three times a day for a week. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.

I am having difficulty walking up and down stairs, my legs are shaky and when I get to the top or bottom of the stairs I have to stop due to dizziness. This has been happening for a few days now and I have no energy, I currently have a head cold but not sure if that is related to the shaky legs.
|
Dear Patient with your type of symptoms I would first like to know your cardiac status, for that ECG and treadmill tests are essential and ECG during treadmill is more informative, second thing I would order blood investigations to see your Hemoglobin status and any infective or inflammatory condition, so getting CBC, ESR and CRP will suffice. So first and foremost see your doctor, discuss this discussion and get examined and investigated. Hope you heal soon.

Hello my mother has stage 4 ovarian cancer. She is 76 and has historic poor kidneys, a heart murmur and osteoporosis. This all came out of the blue as 4 weeks ago we were in complete ignorance. She had an operation last week but found that it was inoperable as there was so much adhesion and could only remove for biopsy along with 2.5.litres of asethetic fluid. She has now been sent home and the oncologist will start therapy as soon as the wound has healed and he receives the lab test results although he has indicated this will only be palliative. Shes in a lot of pain and discomfort and wonder how long she can survive? She is now incontinent and can only manage a few steps. My sister lives abroad although is visiting every other week and as Im male she is reluctant for me to help with her personal hygiene issues. She is very independent and it is heartbreaking to see her deteriorate. She has a good live in home help and nurses are extremely helpful and visit daily. We live in Cyprus.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has stage 4 ovarian cancer with poor kidney and heart. Surgery is not possible with adhesive cancer. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the only treatment. Despite treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good. Sorry to say but it is fact. Treatment is just palliative and give her symptomatic relief. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

My Mom was treated with Gastro Intestinal Stromal tumour a couple of years back and she was taking medicines for 1 year. Now he had stopped all medications completely but going for check-ups once in 6 months. In the very recent Ultrasound taken, it was observed that she had Fatty Hepatomegaly with liver size 157mm. Could this mean something related to the tumour again?
|
Unlikely to be related to new tumor. CT scan or MRI would be better than ultrasound to pick that up. Your mom was probably given a medication called Sleeve, this can cause liver damage. She should get blood testing and close follow up. No alcohol and weight loss advised

Dear Doctor, my 5-1/2 year old daughter complains of abdominal pain every night. We gave her Nizonide-O, O2 & Cyclopam suspension. Her pain subsides for an hr or two but then again starts. We did her USG but nothing came out of it. Also, her stool examination report indicates Pus cells in the range of 12-20/hpf. Pls let me know what that means and what can be the cure of this pain ? Thank you. Ashwin

HI. The reports are suggestive of colitis and needs a careful treatment of 1 to 3 weeks duration. If required you may please consult a Pediatric Surgeon who is a better one that the routine Pediatrician. He can perform colonoscopy if he has pediatric colonoscope which gives a perfect diagnosis. Please give a full course of treatment as well as treatment of worms, even though it may not be seen ob stool examination(empirical basis). Stool culture and sensitivity test helps in some cases to have a direction of the proper antibiotics and complete recovery.

Hi,When I sit on chair or lie down, I feel numbness in my hands and legs. And I always feel something strange in my body, like jijijiji. Which part of my body is touched with something, it start numbness on that place in a minute. I visited lots of doctors in different countries but they are unable to find the cause. If you please help me ?Thanks,AKM
|
Hello understand your concern. What you describe is called a paresthesia, an odd sensation when a particular area of your body is touched. There are multiple causes of paresthesia, including neurological, vitamin deficiencies and even psychological. If you have seen many physicians already, I assume you had blood tests to check thyroid, B12 level, calcium level, magnesium level, iron level, as well as kidney and liver functions. Some liver and kidney conditions could cause paresthesia. Also, some autoimmune diseases cause similar symptoms such as lupus or polymyalgia rheumatic. Next is to get electromyelograms with nerve conducting velocities of your arms or legs. This will help identify any problem with your nerves or muscles. Some types of naturopathies cause parasomnias. Do you have any medical conditions or are you on any medications that could cause these symptoms? The causes as you can see are varied. You can also see a pain management specialist who can help with the paresthesia. I hope you feel better

I accidentally hit my gum flap over my wisdom tooth with a sucker and then it cut it somehow it got infected and it hurts and everything hurts so bad I cant and swallow I cant do nothing till now it has spread into three or four different spots on my gums what are real red and white spots and its just so bad I dont know what to do Im already taking antibiotics for my stitches in my hand but yet this wont go away
|
Hi. Thanks for the query. It looks like the gum flap is inflamed due to injury caused by the sucker leading to pain. Swallowing difficulty is due to inflammation of the throat that is common in infection and inflammation of the gum flap over the wisdom tooth as this area is close to the throat. So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated. You can be advised antibiotics like Amoxicillin and metronidazole.Anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen can be advised. Do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Hope this helps. Regards.

my 17 year old daughter has has a few episodes of sycope lately and blackness of vision . She is otherwise healthy and an athlete. We were advised to see a neurologist whohad her undergo an Bloodwork-clean, MRI- clean, EEG-some spikes while sleeping. He says she could be prone to seizures but not really What does that mean?
|
Dear parent, Thanks for your Quertle problem that your daughter has is common complaint and answer lies in history and not in investigations. Thus, first let us see what your daughter has. We may not conclude it as syncope and let us consider as a paroxysmal event what all happens before during and after event is of prime importance. What are the preceding complaints and what is her motor status during the event. How long or short duration are the events and at what level of consciousness is she at time of event is very important Now coming to investigations - EEG showing spikes is not epilepsy. The spikes in EEG could be a hereditary trait. There are a lot of normal variants which could cause spikes I think you may also require a TILT TABLE TEST which is positive can clinch diagnosis

My husband has been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer which has settled in the lungs. One dr. is recommending hormone therapy and one is recommending chemotherapy. will chemo kill the cancer? i have done a little research saying that hormone just helps to reduce it but it is still there making for a longer life.
|
Dear mam, Thanks for the query. More information required. The chemotherapy or radiotherapy depends on the surgery status like whether he has undergone radical prostatectomy, craniectomy and level of metastasis, PSA levels. Based on all these v need to decide which treatment suits him. Kindly provide with further details Thank u

iv drug use associated with intense side effects I have a friend who.has been using Meth via syringe for aprox 8 yr and just recently he has had some body aches after getting high. the last couple times he complained of real bad ear pain on the left side where the bottom of his ear connects to his head along with aches and pains in most of his joints with sharp pains that shoot randomly in different parts of his body.
|
Hi, Thank you for your question. According to your question, I would say he should immediately see a physician. Since he is an iv Chat Doctor. He should get a thorough physical examination with a blood work up done which includes HIV serology testing, Complete blood count, joint aspirate looking for any infections etc.Also, methamphetamine has serious adverse effects includes high blood pressure, chest pain, decrease in appetite leading to anorexia and low immunity. So lot of things can be interrelated and tangled. Please take him to a physician as soon as possible. Hope I could give you an overall picture. If you have any more questions, I would be happy to answer. Thank you, Moumita Chakraborty

I have been injecting in my left top part of my hand all day. Wellbutrin XR 150 mgs. I have injected maybe 14 throughout the day and I have no formed a large lump on the outside of my left forearm. I m wondering what I should do, if this is an emergency situation where I should go to the hospital or just wait it out?
|
Hello, There is no need to worry about as this will go away as long as it is going to absorb in surrounding tissue and eventually in blood. This does not cause any harm to you if you injected it properly, however if you experience any pain or redness along injection site consult your doctor immediately. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I had a compression fracture ( D12) 4 weeks ago. No nurological problems like paralysis. what should I do for rehabilitation to regain the strength of my bac k ? I am 60 years old hypertensive and have post parandial sugar level in blood above 200
|
4 weeks is not enough for vertebral fracture to unite completely. It is risky to start with exercises. U can start with exercise for back strengthening once your fracture unites as seen radiologically. U may need to wait further for at least 2-4 weeks And I recommend u to start exercise under guidance only.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have lymphocytes. However, your total WBC count and platelet count is normal. Lymphocytes can be due to some viral infection or non-specific cause. You should repeat your blood count after 1 month. It will mostly come down to normal. If it remains persistently high or if your total count is also increased then you need further investigation. Right now no need to worry. No treatment is required for that. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

I was told that I have a fistula type cysts that developed as a result of previous surgery. This is an area located on my foot after having several surgeries to the calcaneal area. Please advise of any information and/or reasoning that this would occur. I have had an open wound for over a year and a half now and this is the final diagnosis after having a MRI performed. Please advise.
|
Howell come to ChatDoctorIf this is a pure surgical condition ad you said "Fistula" then this may need surgical repair and this would be the option there, infarct without the clinical examination nothing can be said exactly because this could be something else, hope this information helps.

I am 9 weeks pregnant, 35 years old. Tonight I found a rather large lump on my right side next to my breast (but not on my breast at all). Its visible just by looking at me and comparing to my left side. Its not painful and I dont feel anything substantive or hard. Its about three -four inches and goes from my side around to my back. I have a check up with my ob on Friday but am curious to know what might be going on. First time being pregnant. Have had some pain when I lay on my side and rest my arm in that area but I assumed it was due to the painful breast issues that comes with pregnancy. Any ideas?
|
Hi. Certainly this is a rare finding. Usually no one gets such lumps in an early pregnancy, and you feel it to be NOT from the breast. IT is best to undergo a clinical examination ASAP, ultrasonography (MAMMOGRAPHY SHOULD NOT BE DONE DURING PREGNANCY) and FNAC if there is a lump. There are rare conditions which worry me develop during this period only as you are getting pregnant for the first time. So it is urgent to confirm that this is not a serious condition like cancer or so.

At 52 years young, and an african-american male, I was just recently diagnosed with asthma . Needless to say, I was taken aback and tried not to panic. As an avid cyclist and speed walker, I had to alter my 30 year routine. But that is not the reason I am contacting you. For the last couple of weeks, I have been experiencing a cool, almost sweaty sensation on the right side of my back. It appears to occur when I am exerting energy i.e. performing manual labor, or washing dishes. Could you please tell me what is going. Thank you in advance. Kamari Odai; e-mail: YYYY@YYYY

I masturbate frequently - once or twice a day. A few months ago my hand started getting weak/numbness. Most of the time its hard to masturbate because of this pain. Its not painful. Its more like an annoying feeling. I feel the need to crack my arm but I cant. Its coming to the point where the feeling is there and doesnt go away.
|
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. If you involve in excessive masturbation then it should be controlled. You can involve yourself in some hobbies. When you become idle you will get the feeling for masturbation more. Make friends and socialize. Play games like volley ball or badminton. Doing exercises also is helpful to get mind control as it utilizes your excess energy. These all will help you to get rid of excess masturbation habit. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.

Hi, Balfour or Halitosis is due to various reasons like poor oral hygiene, dental caries, diabetes, Tonsillitis, liver disorder, gastric disorders, consumption of alcohol, foods like garlic and onion tobacco chewing etc. You have tonsillitis which could be the reason for your problem. Consult an ENT specialist for the problem. Get your self examined by a dentist to determine if you have any problems in your oral cavity.

Hello. My baby is 15 months+ and weighs 12kgs. He is right now suffering from cough which sounds really heavy as if with congestion. My doctor has asked me to give him Ambrodil-S half spoon thrice a day.But he s not taking it -may be the taste.But he likes honey, so can I give him Dabur Honitus instead,.If yes. then please let me know the dose. I also give him Koughnil , a homepathic syrup , but again he s not taking it right now.
|
Hi... You can give him Debut Bonitos.... But Usually cough and cold are viral in origin. You say he's having chest congestion, by that, I understand that he might be having wheezing. If this is the case, Bonitos may not be sufficient to treat the symptoms. Regards -

hi! my mother recently underwent urine and blood test because her legs is swelled after the test the doctor confirmed that her kidney is infected and this is at early stage and the doctor gave her some medicines to recover. i just wanted to know that its not kidney failure right and do we need to consult a nephrologist now ?
|
Hello, If the doctor you are consulting have diagnosed her to have kidney infection and already given probably antibiotics for the same it will take around 5 to 7 days to get it right. Her leg might be swelled because the functioning of kidney must be hampered due to some reason like infection. I would advise you to complete the course of medication prescribed to you and see whether the swelling improves. If it doesn't even after completing the course, you can repeat the urine routine examination and serum creatinine and urea and either get back with me or you can consult a nephrologist. I would be glad to help you out. Thank you

Hi, I read your problem in detail and can understand the distress you might be having with your symptoms. You haven't mentioned if you are taking any form of treatment. Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is amenable to treatment. You should consult a psychiatrist for the same. Treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like fluoxetine, sertraline is safe and effective. In addition to medications, you can also opt for cognitive behavior therapy if someone trained in it is available in your area. It will consist of frequent sessions with your therapist and behavioral measures for obsessions and compulsions will be taught. Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.

they want to clean out my coronary arteries but I have a bad infection in my teeth 3 sets of Abx later amoxicillian x2 and clindamycine and flagyl next and I asked the dentist to use levoquin 500 1 a day x 10 days which one of these shoulf have killed the pain and the infection ? and ? number 2 why wont they do the heart cath until my jaw is well , one doesnt even connect to the other ?
|
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually when there is infection in the tooth it can spread through blood stream to the heart, and after surgery your heart will be more prone for infection. So better you should get the treatment of the tooth done, and if the problem is not getting solved by medications then go for complete removal of the tooth. Hope it will help you.

26 yr old femail 5 6 145lbs .... i just recently had bronchitis twice w/in two months (don t feel as if it ever fully went away during that time) during this time i was also painting rooms in a new house. one night when i went to sit on the couch i got a stapping pain in my chest (a little on my right side along my sternum)....i waited about three days and went back to the dr. he said it was costochondritis and told me to take aleeve or ibprofrin. i did that for 2 weeks w/ no change, and called the dr. back who then prescribed me a steroid pack. i have one day left on the pack, and still NO CHANGE. i ve also discovered 2-3 swollen lymph nodes (i m assuming) on my right side near my armpit. Could I have some other type of infection? or could costo cause swollen lymph nodes? Also, this pain is pretty much a constant, however sometimes it s better/worse. if i stretch, pull, reach, turn wrong it goes right back to hurting again. i have a 1 yr old so it s hard to do NOTHING and rest it. I do tend to push on the lymph nodes often (anxiety about them and checking to see if they re gone/changed ect) which probably doesn t help them either. nodes are soft quishy movable and very little discomfert. main pain problem is the middle/right side of my chest along the sternum and towards my right shoulder a bit below my collar bone/above my breast. pains been going on for 5 weeks, swollen spots about 2.

Hello thanks for posting at Chat Doctor. Your pain and swelling of lymph nodes definitely need to get evaluated. Lymph node swellings are not found in Costco Chat Doctor. You also have symptoms since at least two months. L ymph node swelling happens in infective diseases, in diseases of blood and cancer. Since you are 26, its unlikely that you have cancer. Most of your symptoms go towards infection, more specifically tuberculosis. I recommend you to undergo a HRCT scan of chest. More important is to get the lymph node at your armpits biopsied. Biopsy will see the cells and organisms at the lymph node and help you establish a diagnosis. Treatment can be planned according to the diagnosis. Wishing you good healthRegards

Hi, i was recently in costa rica and drank bottled water. but during depature i drank water from fountain and once arriving in us, my whole body has been itching and tickling all over randomly First day i had stomach pain on left side, i felt constipated or bloated. I must also mention that on tip of my penis has some pain but i used protection when i had sex but did receive oral sex for less than a minute without condom.. could this be all by one thing or i am just overthinking? Thanks

See, itching and stomach pain and pain on tip of penis are totally unrelated symptoms. You may have itching because of some allergy as you visited a foreign place. And as far as stomach ache is concerned, you guessed it right, because of the fountain water. For stomach ache, you can take gastric antibiotics (like norfloxacin) and antispasmodics (like Cyclops). And if itching is intense, you can take antihistamines (like cetirizine). And for pain in tip of penis, you should not take anything right now. If the problem persists, then you can consult your physician.

Hello, I am having problems in my chest area and I can feel the pain in my upper back area as well but there feels like air is in my esophagus. When I try to burp it hurts really bad trying to come up and the burp never makes it. When breathing I feel this in my chest area hurting really bad

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) related symptoms is more. HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of burning, gaseous feeling, chest and back pain, breathing difficulty etc. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in HERD. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid junk food. 4. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. 5. Quit smoking and Alcohol if you have these habits. 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.

sir, im 22 years of age.The problem which im facing is that,my body is getting weak due to flow of semen with my urine.this problem is since 2-3 months.what precaution or medicine should i take?will it be safe or not? im very tensed ,leading a stressful life.

HelloThanks for query. You have a feeling that you are passing semen in urine. At the outset I would like to state that one never passes Semen in urine. What you suspect to be semen is not semen, but it is thick mucus secreted by Cowper's glands located in Bulgar Urethra which get stimulated on sexual arousal or audio, visual thoughts and secret more mucus which is passed along with urine. This can be confirmed by routine microscopic examination of urine which will reveal absence of sperms in urine. There is nothing to be worried about it. It will get resolved spontaneously over a period of time. Ensure to Chat Doctor. This will help to dilute the urine.
