My gums swell up whenever I eat chocolate or certain kinds of shellfish. This started about 3 years ago after a visit to the dentist for a deep cleaning. I went to an allergist, and he said that I am not allergic to chocolate or shellfish as far as he can determine, but I may have some sort of contact allergy with my gums. Is there anything that I can do to either make the swelling go down right away, or stop it altogether without having to change my diet. My teeth have become crooked because of the swelling over these three years. Thank you.
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Allergic reaction to the gums (contact dermatitis) can be due the preservatives or any of the flavoring agents in these things which is causing you the swelling of gums. I would advise you visit an oral surgeon and get it evaluated, if necessary a biopsy can be done. Recurrence of the allergy using the same products will confirm its diagnosis. Avoiding the products is usually recommended. Get your teeth cleaned and check it for the irregularities and get it treated. Avoid the allergens. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.

Hi this morning, i fell and bumped the bottom of my cheekbone, the area instantly swelled up but felt numb, as the day has gone on the swelling has gone down however it is starting to become painful. No bruising has come up where I actually hit my face however at the end of the cheekbone next to my nose a bruise has come up. What would you reccomend? I am female & 21 years of age
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to the injury on the cheekbone. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application and rest. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.

My mom s recent MRI results: IMPRESSIONS: NO ACUTE ABNORMALITIES ARE SEEN. MODERATE DIFFUSE VOLUME LOSS WITH MINIMAL TO MILD PERIVENTRICULAR AND SUBCORTICAL SMALL VESSEL ISCHEMIC CHANGES ARE SEEN She only started becoming very confused in March and I have searched for answers, including possible hereditary thyroid issues, but the only real answer is that this is dementia and could be related to early onset Alzheimer s (and mini strokes which I don t understand) - the other issue that began in March, and is not related to UTI is frequent urination as often as 15 to 30 minutes. She is almost 76, never had many problems other than developing a seizure disorder 12 years ago, but that has been controlled with Keppra. I am trying everything possible and have seen many specialist, but still think I am missing something?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. First, I would like to reassure you that the MRI abnormalities in your moms' case are minor, and there is no need to worry. Kendra (levetiracetam) may cause confusion, and so, if possible it should be stopped and replaced with another anti seizure Chat Doctor. For mini strokes (small vessel ischemic changes), a blood thinner such as aspirin, should be started. For diffuse volume loss, no specific treatment is available. It could be normal for age, or it could be a part of Alzheimer's disease. This can be confirmed by a clinical examination by a neurologist. Best wishes,

Hi I ve been suffering with pain on the left side of my chest for about a year, I have a pulling sensation from my neck under my collar bone it also goes through my armpit down to my elbow and into my fingers, I also suffer with pain with my lower ribs on the left side that goes round to my back. The chest pain also goes round to my back.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion it seems muscular pain only. But as a rule in left sided chest pain we need to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG SND 2D Echo to rule cardiac cause. If both of these are normal than your symptoms are most probably due to muscular pain only. So try to follow these for better symptomatic relief.1. Avoid strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid heavy weight lifting.3. Avoid bad postures in sleep.4. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.6. Wear chest belt to avoid mobilization of affected part.7. Avoid anxiety and stress and be relaxed and calm.

My psychiatrist I had in the past kept bumping up my lamictal saying it was safe. he bumped me up 400mg twice a day. he left his practice and now I see one of his assistants who says it is way to high a dose and dangerous. I have taken this dose for several years and she says to go down to 600MG. I would like to taper off but scared I will suffer major side effects. can I just cut back just that quick after all these years? this is not an actual psychiatrist I am seeing now. I want to cut back but don t want major side effects
HIT hanks for using Chat Doctor Maximum dose of capital is 400 mg per day in case of bipolar, and you are taking 800 mg per day. Better to decrease it gradually by 25 mg per week, otherwise, it could lead to serious skin disorder. Do not panic in that case, if you have not got any side effect yet, mean you are in safer side and gradually tapering of Chat Doctor. Thanks

I had an epidural last summer to help ongoing pain in my back and hip that shot to my knee. I ended up with a hematoma that had to be evacuated immediately because I couldn t use my left leg (where the pain was originally). Needless to say, the epidermal did not work but the surgery on my spine helped immensely. I m not in the pain I was in but it has gotten really bad. My doctor prescribed me narco until I can have another epidermal (which I am extremely reluctant to do) however, until then what can I do to get comfortable?
Hello, As per your history, it may be due to nerve compression at lumbar spine level For that you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also give For further assessment you may require MRI back and nerve conduction studies after consultation You may require tablet Gabapentin after consultation Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello!I have a Nickle sized oblong or oval bump growing between my left testicle and thigh... It is very painful especially when I am on my feet. It seems like it is getting worse and the leg of the side that it is on is starting to swell... Any idea what it could be?
helloThanks for query. The painful bump between thigh and testicle is most likely to be a Staphylococcal infection of hair follicle in a stage of induration (Boil).However, this can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified General Surgeon. Take antibiotics like Doxycycline and anti-inflammatory medicine like Diclofenac twice daily for a week.If it does not subside you may need to consult qualified General surgeon and get it incised and Chat Doctor.

Hello, I am helping my son find dental help. He has no insurance and is a temp worker. His jaw was broken in 3 places when he was 18 and ever since then his teeth have broken off and turned black he has no molars whatsoever as they are broken off at the gums and the rest are slowly falling apart he needs to have them all pulled and dentures made. can you help me find either free dental or a dentist that is willing to take monthly payments.Thank You
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, I would suggest you to first get a clinical evaluation done by a Dentist, take an OPG x-ray. Infected tooth can also be root canal treated and saved permanently. Tooth which are mobile, root stumps are to be extracted and replaced by a fixed and removable denture. Depending upon the x-ray tooth which can be saved can be root canal treated, and remaining can be extracted and replaced. I suggest you to inquire for any Charitable Dental Trust or a Dental School in the nearby place where you can get your treatment done at reasonable rates or even free of cost. Hope this helps out. Regards...

There are several things that can cause this. Simple panic attacks can present with symptoms exactly like this. Endocrine problems like overactive thyroid or pheochromocytoma can also cause this, although they are not common causes of this constellation of symptoms.

I had all my teeth taken out 3/26 14 have had trouble getting then fit right and healed tonight. Now my tongue feels really soft, somewhat swollen, it also looks bluish and the veins look larger and I see tiny white bumps.Nothing is sore.jUst looks thick and odd looking and feels soft and mushy. Have not worn my dentures a lot though. Just odd!
Your problem with the tongue is probably because of chronic irritation from the denture. Southend the edges of dentures if they are sharp and if not then try wearing your dentures regularly. Oral tissues react to foreign bodies initially and gradually get Adjusted to.

I was given Cipro. Within 3 days I developed a rash on my hands that have spread. I went to the hospital and they said to stop medication. My hands are now swollen and it feels like there are little needles sticking my finger tips when they are touched. I can not take Benedyl like the wanted me to because I am allergic to it. I have had this for a week and it is only getting worse. No poison ivy around but there are no blisters on the rash either. Itches horribly

Ok so Sep 25 I had unprotected sex with my bf i took plan b the morning after. Again at the beginning of oct (unprotected) but again took plan b the morning after. I got my period or what I thought was my period oct 9 on time. it seemed pretty normal. It ended about the 12th & the day after I experienced a really bad headache & severe nausea which ended with me vomiting multiple times. the day after that I encountered brown watery discharge like watery watery . So the day after that I took a pregnancy test& it came back negative. So I waited a week & throughout that week I experienced & am still experiencing symptoms (nausea dizziness headaches, horrible fatigue... etc.) I started to randomly get really tired and fall asleep randomly I have uncomfortable stomach pain and aches in my hips & lower back. I took another pregnancy test today and it is still negative. Could the plan b have not worked? & if I am pregnant am I testing too early? If not what else could this be?
Hello, Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. I have gone through the query and would like to offer some suggestions. Firstly, you do not need an emergency contraceptive if you have the intercourse during the safe period of your cycle. Ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next period and this is the fertile phase of the cycle. Secondly, the high hormone content in the emergency contraceptive pill creates hormone imbalances and this is the most likely cause for your current symptoms. Since you have inconvenience, please get proper help from your health care provider. In the future, please restrict the use of the emergency contraceptive pill use for one or two occasions per year and go for regular contraception instead. Hope this helps.

I am 45, have a history of migraines that have been much less frequent since stopping birth control pills. I was prescribed 50mg vyvanse for ADHD and started taking it yesterday ( at the recommended half dose.) I have had a migraine for 24 hours .... Is there a possibility the vyvanse is causing the migraine? Thanks.
Hi, Vyvanse is unlikely to cause migraines. Vyvanse (amphetamine derivative) commonly prescribed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Its most common side effects include decreased appetite, insomnia, Chat Doctor. The exact cause of migraines is not known. There are certain triggers such as lack of sleep, skipping a meal, caffeine or alcohol, and being under stress, sensory stimulation like unusually bright lights, loud noises, or strong smells, hormonal changes or while on birth control pills may also cause recurring migraines. Avoid those triggers and consult your treating doctor if there is no relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

i have had psvt for 5 years now, but i just got diagnosed with it last week. my heart rate went up to 245bpm and i had to have 6mg of adenosine to make it stop. it used to only last for 30 seconds to a minute, but now it just doesnt stop. i had it happen again today and i was able to stop it on my own by pushing my stomach muscles down (thankgod). adenosine was a terrible experience and i wish to never have it again. anyways im only 18 and i was wondering if this is just going to worsen with time? and why did it happen twice in two weeks when it normally happens once every 6-12 months? it scares me a lot and i just want it gone :(
Hello, Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) occurs due to the presence of an aberrant pathway in the electrical system of the heart and triggered by premature atrial contractions (re-entry mechanism). If the episodes become frequent, it's better to go for an electrophysiologist study and then radiofrequency ablation finally to cure it permanently. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi Dr Siegel I have been for a MRI lower lumbar scan2 years ago and have only recently discovered the diagnosis, this has come to light as my lower back grinds and pops with hip movement, this problem prompted my doctor telling me that the disc has dehydrated, I have since that consultation asked for a medical diagnosis which is disc degradation of the lower lumber with paravertable spasm, I have also had many problems with my bowls. I am due for another MRI to see what has changed but I need advice as to how I can live and work and have pain relief which will improve the quality of life
Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. I think you should do physiotherapy and exercises to strengthen your back muscles and abdominal muscle. Swimming is very good for you and cycling also. Walking and jogging is OK but not running. Also, Chat Doctor. Stretching exercises and posture modification is helpful also. I think if you make such a regime you will see improvement in 3 months at least. I wish you quick recovery.

Im going through depresion right now but dont seem to shake the feeling of uneasiness in the upper chest. I do smoke about 6 cig s a day and trying to quit. Breathing does not seem to be a problem even though i suffer from panic attacks once in a while. I try to do breathing excercise to calm myself down. I concerned shoul i be about this slight tighness in the upper chest?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should first rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes as you are smoker. So please get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause. Get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis. If all of the above are normal than it is mostly due to depression only. Anxiety can be associated with depression and cause this kind of symptom. Panic attacks can be the cause. So try to avoid stress. Consult your psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.

my mom is diagnosed with a rare disease which is closely related to miller fisher syndrome. she used to be active and just recently she witnessed a fire that in their storage house that left her so devastated of what happened.shes 64years old, has diabetes and has allergic reactions to pain relievers. Is there a home treatment or remedies to cure miller fisher syndrome?
His welcome you to Chat Doctor. Your mothers' disease is definitely a rare disease, but the prognosis of this disease is very good. She should be treated with intravenous immunoglobulins or plasmapheresis, but I am not aware of any home remedies. I do not think that there are any home remedies that can bring her out of this. I would advise you to take your mother to the nearest hospital and treat her as soon as possible. The more you delay, the more severe it becomes. Hope I answered your query.

I am a 27 year old female. I was diagnosed with a kidney stone ( CT scan ) a week and 3 days ago, after experiencing the worst pain of my life. It was at my ureteropelvic junction, a 4-5mm piece of agony. The urologist immediately wanted to operate, I asked him to discharge me and give me a chance to pass it normally without surgical intervention. That night the agony set in again, but this time when I stood up and went to the toilet, the pain subsided enough for me to go back to bed. I have not had pain since then, no problem urinating, no blood in my urine, no fever , basically asymptomatic . Now however I have a constant urge to urinate, with an uncomfortable pressure right by my pelvic bone. I do not struggle to urinate, but it does feel like my bladder is not empty when I get up from the toilet, so I need to go immediately again. This is obviously incredibly irritating. I just want to know whether this is the stone trying to leave my bladder? I still do not have any other symptoms, no pain urinating, no visible blood in my urine, no fever or chills, no pain other than the mild pain in my pelvic region.
Hi and thanks for the query, Not all kidney stones cause symptoms. The symptoms are actually related to the size of the kidney stone, the location of the stone, type of stone and the duration of the stone. Many people in the general population have small stones and present with no symptoms. Its there normal for a CT scan to detect stones without any symptoms. It becomes a worry when symptoms like pain, urination difficulties, infections and kidney failure come into play. However, regular clinical, biological and radiologic monitoring by your treating physician remains well indicated. Thanks and best regards, Luchuo, MD.

Hello and thank you for your questions. First cavities are caused by bacterial infections in your teeth. The bacteria produce acids that eat away at the outer surface of your teeth (enamel) and then spread to the inside of your teeth. Cavities are prevented by:-decreasing frequency of sugar intake, especially sticky, tacky snacks-avoiding beverages high in caffeine, sugar and acids: coffee, energy Chat Doctor.

good evening, i have been experiencing quite cramp like pain at the very top of my stomach no real about an inch down from in between my breast bone, it causes shortness of breath. It has been over a week now. I have taken gaviscon but impact. Any thoughts
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to different causes: - gastritis or an ulcer- pancreatitis- indigestion- musculoskeletal pain or inflammation. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests to investigate for the possible underlying causes: - a resting ECG- a chest X-ray study- an abdominal ultrasound-some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, kidney and liver function tests, amylase and lipase levels, fasting glucose). If Davison help improve your situation and all the above tests result normal, I would recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy to investigate for gastritis or ulcer. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,

For the past few days ive been going to the bathroom, CONSTANTLY and it hurtsreally bad to pee and I feel like I ALWAYS have to pee!!! Just today my lower back has been hurting and im having nausea, im also having hot flashes!! Icant get into my doc for a week and now that its the weekend I dunno what to do!!! What do you suggest???
Dear patient Are you having burning sensation? Frequency of micturition mostly Is due to urinary tract infection and uncontrolled diabetes Mellitus. So if you are not diabetic only thing remains is UTI. You need to be investigated with urine routine and microscopy examination for pus cells. It helps in confirming diagnosis. If its positive start tab Aeroflot 500 mg once a day with tab metronidazole 400 mg thrice a day for 7 days. Also take syrup alkali 5ml thrice a day. If you are diabetic need to consult expert diabetiologist and ask for medication for strict diabetic control.

I am being treated by my dentist for an abscess and have been on antibiotics. I was scheduled for a root canal today, but I am not able to open my mouth due to swelling and tightness in my jaw. He indicated that there are times even though the abscess is being treated with antibiotics, the infection can settle into the jaw muscle and cause it to tighten up and that is likely causing the problem. He prescribed a muscle relaxer to see if that will loosen up the jaw muscle. I have been taking OTC pain relievers to help with the swelling and pain but wondered if you could tell me if there is a name for this condition and if there is anything else I can do to help myself or help speed up the healing process? The root canal has been put on hold for a week in the hopes by then I will be able to open my mouth/jaw enough to do the procedure. Thank you for your time.
Hello, It looks that you are suffering from a condition known as Erasmus, and it is the cause for difficulty in opening mouth. It can occur due to infection and abscess formation and can also be due to muscle spasms. You should continue taking antibiotics and muscle relaxant and also try to gently open the mouth as much as you can. Let the infection get reduced as it will help in reducing swelling and then the mouth opening will also get improved. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi every now and then I m getting pains in the top part of both rib more to the side area some times the right side sometimes the left also wen I sit down my stomach feel really tender and gasy feel like it s guna cramp in areas can you help?i got a bad back but don t think that s anything to do with it
Hello, This pain is because of improper dietary habit, if one is not taking adequate and nutritious diet on time, this develops the ulceration and presents with such pain. If such a patient comes to me in my clinic, I suggest him for upper GI endoscopy to rule out the acid peptic disease. I will suggest the patient to take Capsule Pantop-LSR twice daily (half an hour before food). So consult a physician to get an endoscopy done. I also suggest such patient to take following medications also Tablet Attract twice daily for 1 week. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi my father retired from the military in 1991 and worked as a pilot out of Nellis Air Force Base for the last 22 years. He retired in May 2012. When he retired he started having inconsistencies with his blood counts. Extremely elevated RBCs that have been unexplainable to doctors. He s had really bad stomach issues for probably the last 15 years. He s been going to see a hematologist oncologist for the last year having his blood drawn many times a week and then reduced to a couple of times a month to reduce his RBC counts. He has been extremely sick for the last year and passed away this past Sunday due to unexplainable causes. My question is, do you think his condition could be due to his two tours in Vietnam as a pilot flying through the agent orange? We are trying to better understand this tragedy. I have noticed a lot of posts on the Internet in relation to elevated red blood cells leaving the physicians scratching their heads. I know he was diagnosed with polycythemia recently. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Please accept my condolences. Polycythemia could be due to exposure to high altitude in your fathers case where low oxygenation stimulates erythropoietin production causing increase in RBC count. Many cancers also predispose to polycythemia like liver cancer. Associated conditions along with polycythemia play an important role here. Many patients suffering from polycythemia present with abdominal pain and generalized fatigue. These patients are also prone to develop clots easily hence predisposed to sudden stroke and heart attacks. I hope I have helped you with this. Thanks.

My friend had a partial mastectomy 13 years ago and the scar has suddenly started weeping and bleeding. She says she might have scratched it in her sleep but she is afraid to go to her GP in case it is bad news. What could cause bleeding so long after the operation?
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Noted your friend having bleeding from scar of mastectomy... Here consultation to surgeon done without delay to prevent further complication. Here breast must be examined by palpation for detecting any mass... If mastectomy in past done for malignancy then there can be development of malignancy from residual tumor cell. If mass palpable FNAC done.... If palpation normal then bleed may from scar that might hypertrophy ... If scar is seeming to be infected then antibiotic needed... Brufen like anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. . Take care.

Hi, From history it seems that he might be having some problem in his kidneys like infection or kidney stones.Ultrasound of kidneys will be more helpful. After reports of urine check up and ultrasound, plan of treatment can be decided accordingly.Meanwhile, give him Metal spas or Cyclops for pain as needed. Ok and take care.

hi I have a son who is already 3 years of age. he suffers from on and off fever so I brought him to a doctor for a check up.Unluckily the doctor is on leave. i just let my son have his urine test. and the test have a positive findings for A. urates/PO4 and mucus threads. What does these mean?
Hi...this is normal finding in the urine of any kid who has viral illness. Do not worry about it. The report is normal. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Regards -

Hello, I take birth control and I am normally rather regular with my period, but last month I was a week late and now this month I am also a week late so far and I have taken a pregnancy test and got a negative result. I have also been stressed lately, my boyfriend was ill and I just started back at college and my dad was in a car accident. Could stress be why my period is late?
Hi. Yes, stress is one of the many causes that can result in a homo all imbalance and thus cause irregularities in your menstrual cycle. So do not worry, and try to stress less than stress will not really help to solve any problems at all. Best wishes.

My baby girl is 3 1/2 months old and for the past while I have noticed that her feet and toes turn white sometimes. It looks as if they completely lose blood flow, they turn as white as can be, completely colourless. What could this be? I asked my doctor and he was unsure of what it could be and just asked me to bring in a photo of her feet.
Hypothermia causes whiteness of peripheries due vasoconstriction causing poor blood supply to that area. This can be prevented ant treated by preventing and treating hypothermia. Use mittens and gloves to cover hands and feet. Also breastfeeding may prevent hypothermia

Yes please, I had 2 back surgerys within 10 months, I have 1 L vertabry left, last year he did the L 5 4 this time 3 2, Im in my 3rd week the pain is so bad never have been in pain like this, is there any pain med that do not have Tylenol in them I have been on Norco for 9 years 10/325 after all this suffering I will end up with liver failer , I take 2 every 4 hrs. 10 when pain starts 10 hour later of taking meds, no sleep at all laying down kills me, and you say?
Hello, I have studied your case. You may need to do MRI spine with contrast again to see for nerve compression. Due to compression of this nerve root there can be pain associated with it. Previous surgery may lead to early degeneration around operated vertebrae. Another possibility of spinal canal stenosis leading to pain on standing. If your MRI shows disc bulge with nerve compression then re surgery may help. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic like pregabalin and methylcobalamine medication can be started consulting your doctor. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS therapy will helpEpidural injection may help till time. 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.

Starting Mar2013 I have experienced about 7 spells, I call them. I all of a sudden get very dizzy have to sit down because it is quite servere . I let it pass for about 15 min by sitting and closing my eyes. Then I break into a big sweat and feel nauseated and tired It happen about every 12 to 17 days. I have had a heart monitor on and since the Dr didnt call me back I think it was OK. My blood pressure seemed to be OK and I had an egg and a blood sugar test and it was normal. The last spell I had was typical but since I have been a bit dizzy and a little nauseated. I can go through a normal day but feel like a have a hangover, to describe the feeling. I cant get into see my Dr for a week and a day. I am very frustrated and frankly wonder whats going on. Thank you for listening.
Hello, Thanks for the queryPlease note that there are many causes of dizziness which begins with heart problem, neurological problem, and ENT problem and so on. The possibilities' ion your case could be migraine. But you need a detailed examination by a local physician to exclude other causes. If the investigations are normal, I feel that you may benefit with anti-migraine medications under supervision. Please get back if you need any additional information Best wishes

Hi my son got fits when he was 7 years old. Though the fits were brought under control , as we continued to experience difficulty with school work, his medication was changed and we later found out that he has been continuously having sub clinical seizures right throughout. He is 11 years old now. His medication has been changed to include frisium 5 mg in the night. The most recent EEG reveals that his seizures have cleared out. However, we noticed that he is having more trouble with his school work, falling asleep on his work, he has suddenly gained so much weight that he is somewhat obese ... my son s psychiatrist put him on Nexito 5mg. His dosage is to be increased to 10mg in three weeks. Will this drug help my son? What does it do? What are the side effects? I am really concerned. Please help me. Thank you.

Pain to left side of my spine near my shoulder blade My partner is in pain and feels a vertebrate has popped out on the left side of his spine near his shoulder-blade. Are there any suggested advice someone can give me. I ve popped a vertebrate in his back before but the location is awkward near his shoulder blade and I can t pop back in the vertebrate.
Hi, i would advise you not to indulge in any form of popping of the spine as it has delicate spinal cord and nerves around that area which may get damaged. If there is pain in the back near the spine it could be related to vertebral column or muscles in the region. Did your partner take any painkiller for the same? If the painkiller is not relieving him of pain and if it is more than 2-3 days then you should see an orthopedics doctor who would advise you to take a X-ray to rule out any bone problems and suggest treatment accordingly. If the pain is more you can try to take hot fomentation to they are it will soothe if it is muscular. Take care

At intervals, I feel dizzy and light-headed once or twice a day. My doctor ordered Propionate nasal drops in December. More recently, I also have shaking in my right leg at the same time. The shaking is visible to those present with me at the time. I am on chemo presently, but I feel good otherwise and have no other heart, lung or otherwise problems.
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms could be related to chemotherapy adverse effects. I would like to know more on your past medical history and the reason that you are on chemotherapy. Anyway, considering the fact that you are on chemotherapy, I would recommend performing some tests: - a brain CT scan or MRI-complete blood count for anemia-blood electrolytes- kidney and liver function tests-thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction- vitamin B12 and vitamin D plasma levels for possible deficiency. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Wishing all the best,

Hello Doc, I m suffering from jaundice. My recent Bilirubin Level is 2.4. I Had it two months before and got cured. Can you please state why this jaundice problem reoccurs if once it has occured. And kindly inform the diet i should take.And inform me the way to keep away from this disease. And what test should be done in order to know what type of jaundice is it?
Hi.noted history of recurrent jaundice and elevated bilirubin levels. Are you experiencing any other symptom like abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea, vomiting? Jaundice may be caused by an infective (i.e. hepatitis) or an obstructive (gallstones or tumor lesions) pathology. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon or a gastroenterologist, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics (such as ultrasound, ct-scan, liver function tests, blood counts, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. If it is indeed of gallstone disease, low fat diet is recommended. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

I am 32 year old female that had a lithrotripsy done three weeks ago on a 5mm stone and now I have blood and pus in urine and another stone doctor is going to explore it in the morning to see if it is lodged in uretha what can be causing all of this now
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Most persons pass blood in their urine after the lithography procedure. This is normal and should clear after several days to a week. Blood and pus can be due to injury of ureter by dislodged smaller fragment and subsequent infection. Lots of fluids should be taken to encourage the flushing of any gravel remaining in the urinary system. Treated persons should follow up with a urologist in about two weeks to make sure that everything is progressing as planned. You may need to take a course of antibiotics to control infection.

hi im keira i have this throbbing pain in both of my knees and i have had this pain 5 days straight and it s getting to the point where i can hardly move my legs i have taken pain killers but nothing helped and i dont no what i ve done . i was wondering if you could help sincerly keira
Hello, As the pain is like throbbing in nature which is not allowing the knee to be any better I will advise to first take a hot water fermentation. Use the hot water bag wrapped in towel. This will provide deep heating effect. Continue this along with the medicines you are taking. And also keep the pillow underneath the knee. If you aren't diabetic than please use icing for the lower back region. This will provide the anesthetic effect and reduce the sensory functions by which the pain will come down. As pain travels by the nerve, rather using a steroid shot it's better to use icing which is non-invasive and no side effects. Wait and see if the knee is any better. If diabetic you can use hot water bag in the lower back which will slow down the sensory system by dilation effect. Once the pain comes down kindly try doing knee bending and extending. If that is possible you can possibly do some exercises like static Qua Chat Doctor. Kindly do on both sides the exercises, so the strength is equivalent. In case you are able to perform extension and flexion of the knee, I think it's a ligament injury, and we ended to take up the MRI to rule out this. Rehabilitation of ligament injury will be followed with Physiotherapist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In

Hi and thanks for using this panel. If she has seen her menses after this unprotected sex episodes, then it is unlikely that she is again pregnant. However, have you had any unprotected sex after her last menses? Doing a rapid pregnancy test is the standard of care when you have not seen your menses. This will give an instant answer. I will not be particularly worried at this time because menses may come earlier or later than expected. But if it should delay for more than a week, then please run a rapid test. If you are afraid of unwanted pregnancies, I suggest you both meet and talk with your physician on what other options are available if you don't want to use protection during sex. Hope this helps...feel free to return to us. We wish you good health

Hello, I have a question. I started taking ortho try cyclen lo birth control about four months ago I believe. I didn t have a period the whole month of january which is understandable because they said it would be normal to miss one the first 1-3 months. My period then came right on the first of february. It then ended but for some reason around the 27th or 28th of that month I was spotting and it lasted for a while. I was very confused. I took two pregnancy tests and they both said negative. I went to the clinic and they changed my birth control. I haven t had my period this month yet. Should I be worried or okay since both tests were a negative?
Hi, Thanks for the query. Menstrual irregularity is a common problem with contraceptive devices. These can be amenorrhea, inter-menstrual spotting, break through bleeding etc. So all the symptoms you are having could be side effects of the contraceptive method. As all both your tests came back as negative there is very less chance for pregnancy. You can go for blood test for pregnancy once which will clear-off the doubt. Take care.

I started taking ortho try cyclen lo birth control about four months ago I believe. I didn t have a period the whole month of january which is understandable because they said it would be normal to miss one the first 1-3 months. My period then came right on the first of february. It then ended but for some reason around the 27th or 28th of that month I was spotting and it lasted for a while. I was very confused. I took two pregnancy tests and they both said negative. I went to the clinic and they changed my birth control. I haven t had my period this month yet. Should I be worried or okay since both tests were a negative? ### Answer: Hi, Thanks for the query. Menstrual irregularity is a common problem with contraceptive devices. These can be amenorrhea, inter-menstrual spotting, break through bleeding etc. So all the symptoms you are having could be side effects of the contraceptive method. As all both your tests came back as negative there is very less chance for pregnancy. You can go for blood test for pregnancy once which will clear-off the doubt. Take care.

I am a hypertensive patient of about 10 years. I have tried just about every hypertensive category of meds there is to try. Even combinations of them. I do suspect some CHF. Echo revealed some thickening of the heart muscles. ASA causes my joints to ache really bad. HCTZ causes the same as well as alopecia. BP ranges almost everyday from 201/92 to 172/78. Pulse ranges from 60 70 bpm. I take Bystolic 10mg, 2 in am and 1 @ HS. Have lost 12lbs. Still over weight. Walk as often as I can at least 1 mile. BP was lower when I was able to walk 1 mile daily. Lowest was 142/74, P 54. So tired of this. Took my PRN Clonodine 0.01 mg last 3pm yesterday and BP lowered to 188/72 from 198/101. Took another one @ HS and this am was 182/76, P 70. Any suggestions. Was thinking about Cardiologist consult.

Swine flu will have symptoms of flu with symptoms that you have and diarrhea. You will need to test yourself for swine flu to confirm/run it out. You will also need to have a gastroenterology check up and endoscopy to see WHT is causing the immediate vomiting.

So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Also quit smoking as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello I have ankle pain and I do not remember hurting it, it happened last nite and today it s swollen and hurts bad, not sure what happened I do work and am on it all day from around 8 till 6 at nite, I did ice it last nite to sleep and tonight I am soaking it in espom salts water, what else can I do?
Hi, You may have ankle sprain. May have happened due to minor twisting of ankle which may be missed. Treatment is Rest ice compression elevation of ankle on two pillows. Tab choral forte twice a day helps for reducing swelling. If pain is not bearable tab diclofenac sodium twice a day can be taken for pain relief. Visit to orthopedic surgeon for detailed clinical Examination will be more helpful in diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

i have a picc line in for about a week and in that time i have had pain in my arm, shoulder and chest that has slowly gotten worse, i cant raise my arm up very high without pain either... it is also hot and my best friend thinks my arm also looks a little swollen. Is this normal? should i be concerned?
Hello, As I was reading your history it misses a lot of things like why it was inserted? Since when it is inserted? Are you diabetic or do you have any high blood pressure? Any chest infection etc.? To come into a history conclusion I feel one should be able to differentiate between edema and wasting of muscles. As the upper limb is not moving much there might be wasting of muscles. Also, swelling can be caused due to poor venous return and using a stocking for it should be of choice initially and some simple exercise for upper limb should avoid swelling to persist longer. Besides, will recommend you get it checked by a physician as edema in upper limb over the left side mostly which isn't mentioned in the history needs to taken with attention without wasting time as heart may get involved. Please feel free to mention detailed history, so we can look out for a conclusion in precision. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi i was wondering if you could associate these symptoms with a diagnosis.Ive been suffering from them for the past 4 months.While im trying to fall asleep i feel as though an adrenaline rush goes through my body and it feels like i stop breathing,heart palpitations,and even slow a slow heart beat at times.After this happens i cannot fall asleep for the next 2 to 4 hours.Its gotten to the point where im afraid to fall asleep and i cant find anything online that explains these symptoms.
Hello and welcome to Ask a Doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Are these things preceded by any weird thoughts or panic in your mind, or stress. This is not any particular heart disease it's just an anxiety and excessive awareness of your heart beats. Try to ignore these things and focus on sleep. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

HI, my name is Ferol MATTHEWS. my email address is YYYY@YYYY . The inside of my mouth and tongue is very sore. I have sores on my tongue and the inside of my mouth that appear somewhat translucent while other appear white and crusty. Food in general burns. It hurts to talk. Help!!!!
Hi. Thanks for the query. It looks like you either have canker sores or authors ulcers, or it can also be due to viral infection causing herpetic cold sores. Nothing to worry, as either of them are treatable and will resolve in a period of one to two weeks. As of now start taking a vitamin B complex tablet daily along with lysine and folic acid . Gargle with mouthwash containing Lidocaine or Lidocaine to reduce burning especially before meals. You can also do soda bicarb gargles, warm saline gargles are also helpful. Suck ice pops or do cool water rinses. Take soft and bland meals. If you get relieved in a week its fine or else get an oral swab culture and blood test done for herpes and then if it comes positive antiviral medication can be advised. Hope this helps. Regards.

24 Yr. old male: I have a bicuspid aortic valve and a coarctation of the aorta. I am also being treated for high blood pressure (my BP prior to medication was usually around 145/90). My resting hear rate is usually around 55-65. My question is: I use marijuana fairly regularly (once every other day or so). Are the negative side-effects of marijuana more troublesome given my heart defects?
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that in a normal person, marijuana can lead to 5 times increased risk of heart attack during the first hour after smoking it. From the other hand, when taken regularly for a long time, it can lead to chronic changes in the blood vessels wall, causing progressive atherosclerosis. Now, considering the fact that you have coaptation of the aorta, I would strongly encourage you to stop taking it, as you are at a very increased risk of a heart attack or further aortic stenosis. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,

Several antibiotic & motion medicine taken with self prescrive,for that period stomach is ok other wise formation of gas. Please tell is it due to Liver disorder or normal thing.
Hi Rajesh The symptoms you have described are suggestive of what is known as Irritable bowel syn Chat Doctor. Sometimes gall stones can cause such symptoms especially gaseous sensation after meal- a simple ultrasound of abdomen would rule it out. If not the diagnosis of IBS is the most likely one. You can consult your nearby physician, and he can prescribe you the treatment for IBS. Regards

monday i was prescribed amoxicillin for a chest infection and prednisolone for my wheeze and a referral to a asthma nurse in new year for an assessment. i am 50 and suffer from dust and pollen allergy but wasnt sure about asthma. i am getting a hot itchy rash on my neck and shoulders and saclp
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you are having allergy to dust and pollen you may get the symptoms which you are having. As you know you are allergic to dust and pollen I would suggest you to test for absolute eosinophil count (AEC) to know the presence of allergy in the body. I would suggest you to undergo skin prick test with existing all dusts and pollen to identify the allergen causing these symptoms. After identifying allergen it will be easy to avoid the allergen if you are not able to avoid you can undergo Immunotherapy against particular antigen and reduce your symptoms. Thank you.
If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.

After identifying allergen it will be easy to avoid the allergen if you are not able to avoid you can undergo Immunotherapy against particular antigen and reduce your symptoms. Thank you.

Hi, I d like to know about the general anaesthesia during wisdom teeth removal. What are the risks with this type of operation and what could go wrong? Is there anything to worry about regarding the breathing tube and getting the right amount of oxygen, and how would you know if you did not recieve enough oxygen? Will health professionals inform the patient if anything like this happened?
Why do you need general anesthesia in the first place. Wisdom tooth extraction is a day care minor surgery and can easily be done on local anesthesia. You may ask for conscious sedation. General anesthesia is provided by trained anesthesiologists and poses little or no danger to life in expert hands.

I am a 49 yr old, relatively healthy, Asian female who started walking for exercise about 3 weeks ago. However, every day for the past week, right around the same time (about 130 or 230 pm) I start getting the chills. When I take my temperature, it is usually around 99.5 to 99.9. I dont have any aches or pains or infections that I know of. I have been taking Tylenol for the fever, but the next day this happens all over again. I have lost about 6 lbs since I started walking.
Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. Rise of temperature with chills almost at the same time regularly for 1 week points towards underlying infection.However, lack of other constitutional symptoms like aches or pains suggest indolent nature of illness. In Asian countries, one need to rule out TB. Other possibility is lymphoma. You need physical examination and baseline investigation like complete blood count, peripheral smear for malaria parasites, Urine for routine analysis and ESR (fasting). Regards

Hi. This is so embarrassing. Thats probably why I havent gone to the Doctor. I have a pretty large external hemorrhoid. Its painful. For the last couple of days I have tried over the counter medications. It doesnt seem to be shrinking. Its I guess about a inch in diameter and very hard. Should I just wait it out. I am soaking in warm water now. I read online where it could help. I had one similar to this about 6 months or so ago and it went away after over the counter treatment. This one seems more painful and larger. Is this something you could help me with?
. I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern. First you don't have to be embarrassed from this situation, especially in front of healthcare providers, since this condition is something that healthcare providers have a lot of experience, and it is not seen as something weird, rare or embarrassing. From what I read in your post, it seems like the symptoms might be a consequence of thrombosed hemorrhoids (hard and painful). The conservative measures that might help you are warm baths; ice can relieve the pain of acute thrombosis; high-fiber diet (methylcelulose); stool softener; topical steroids can alleviate symptoms of itching and inflammation; topical nitroglycerin can also reduce symptoms, but it can have side effects like dizziness and hypotension. I recommend visiting a general surgeon or a proctologist in order to be evaluated more objectively and for a possible surgical treatment. I hope my answer was helpful. Best regards and I wish you a fast recovery.

hello doctor. I am 21 years boy. I am suffering from hair loss since 2 years. I also suffered from depression. my scalp is itchy . If donot shampoo my hair for one week , I can feel crusty bumps on my head. if I scratch them, liquid comes out. itching increases in sunlight. I had random blood sugar test and tsh test but those were normal. the dandruff is greasy. please suggest some cure
Hello, I am glad to be helping you out with the problem.First, have a healthy diet that includes proteins. You can also take supplements that have vitamins and antioxidants. Wash your hair at least twice a week so that your scalp remains clean. In case you use a conditioner, do not apply it on your scalp. Try some yoga to relax your mind as this will also have a positive impact on your physical health. Hope this helps. Take care

Hello Doctor, My tailbone has been killing me for the past few months. The pain is a heavy - pressure kind of pain. My MD had X-rays taken, this showed nothing. I saw him the other day and told him I still have this pain. He said he is not sure what else he can do for me other than use a donut when sitting. I sit at home on a nice soft leather recliner, my tailbone still kills me. I end up leaning on my side when I sit, but when I get up, the pressure/pain is terrible. I notice the pain/pressure even when I walk. Hurts when I sleep, especially turning over. I do want to mention that I had a colon resection back in 2005. I had a tumor in my rectum. The surgeon could feel my tumor, that is how low it was. I am worried I may have another tumor. PLease give me some advise what I need to do. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!
Hello! I read your question and understand your concern. In my opinion the pain you have may be related to a sacral bone problem. I would like to know if you have fever or problems with the stools. These problems may be caused by a tumor infiltration the sacral and cochineal bones, by an infection of this region like an abscess or osteomyelitis, or by irritated nerves of the region from radiotherapy. Your past medical history is very concerning. You didn't mention radio or chemotherapy. So I would recommend a good physical by your GP, a full blood work for infection and a CT scan or MRI of the pelvic region to exclude these causes. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes
