Hi, I m 7 weeks pregnant and had been given Utrogestan by my doctor. I read that it could be either taken orally or vaginally and was never instructed anything by my doctor and therefore took it orally. I now have realised that I should have taken in vaginally, I am concerned that due to me taking it orally this will affect the baby negatively in anyway and just wanted to ask if it could and what is the difference between taking this medicine orally or vaginally. Thanks
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. The progestin is a natural micronized progesterone and is prescribed in cases of threatened miscarriage or past history of miscarriage or any dull pain in pregnancy etc. It can be taken by two routes orally or vaginally. Usually it is said that the absorption will be better and side effects will be less with vaginal route. But studies done with progestin has similar effectiveness with both oral and vaginal route. But nothing like it's going to harm the baby by taking through oral route. So relax. Avoid stress. Avoid physical strain and intercourse. Take good rest and healthy nutritional diet. Nothing to worry. Hope this helps. Best regards...

i have been to doctors after doctors and then in hopkins county memorial and was admited for 6 day now i have a cathider in my left arm that leads to the main arterie in my heart the doctors are saying that i have a bactirial infection in my lungs along with scar tissue on my lungs as well as my white blood cells being low i believe there is something more please i think they are not telling me everything i need to know what is wrong please what is your professional oppenion what would you think they have ran every test first it was tb then it was cancer and now its supose to be a bactiral infection please help

Scar tissue of the lungs is not a disease. It is the tissue that can substitute normal lung tissue that suffered an inflammatory injury, as result of a severe infection for example. Some diseases are difficult to diagnosis and sometimes clinical symptoms, signs and tests findings may be inconclusive or misleading. A strong relationship of trust with your physicians is extremely important to overcome the challenges of your treatment and rehabilitation. Your physicians will not hide from you anything related to your condition if openly questioned about it. The anxiety in the presence of a condition that is not completely understood or that does not improve may sometimes lead us to look for opinions of many specialists. However, this conduct can also cause prejudice as sometimes it is difficult to establish and follow a sequence to diagnosis and treatment. Talk to your attending physician, expose all your doubts and questions and if you feel assured that you are being well cared, continue your treatment.

I am a 50 year old male. Few months ago, I suddenly had pains around both hips and lower abdomen. I ve been walking on the treadmill, on average, 10 miles per week for many years and lately playing cricket (bowling fast like throwing fastball) with my kid. The pain became uncomfortable while driving and when turning sideways while sleeping. I realized quickly the pains had started after playing cricket with my belt tightened so that I did not have to worry about my pants dropping few inches every minute. I had played cricket the previous summer and had none of the symptoms listed above. But I always played wearing the belt a bit loosely. After about a month, the pains slowly went away completely. I continued playing cricket as well as walking on the treadmill. Last weekend, I forgot to loosen up the belt and played cricket for short time and the above listed pains came back right away. I feel the pains I am experiencing are muscular pains but worried that this might be a more serious condition than that, perhaps appendicitis etc. Appreciate any advice or suggestions. I checked for prostate cancer recently and was diagnosed negative. I also have the irritable bowel syndrome, cannot eat too much spices etc.
|
Hello, thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. C. Appendicitis ? No way. Physically you are fit that's a nice thing. Pain around the buttocks and in pelvic region after belt you wore is somewhat tight. Now please do one thing that this pain may relate to large intestine (colon, rectum, anus ). Please get a U/S of whole abdomen to rule out any involvement of large intestinal parts. Lastly please consult a doctor for hemorrhoids and fissures as these two in early stage don't recognize easily. Have a good day.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some meniscus or ligament injury. Wait for the x-ray results. If it is normal then go for MRI knee.

My brother was just diagnosed with hepatocellular cancer with portal vein embolism and was place on inderal ,dilaudid, and lactulose. He developed a rash under his arms,back of thighs to buttocks, and groin area. Is this most likely from the elevated bilirubin, liver enzymes , etc.?

Im in the military and I injured my back 3 months ago and I have been to the doctor 3 times and the first time the said I had a fracture and then the next time they said I hurt it before I came in the military and now there saying I was born with it and during all this a have been doing physical therapy but it is not improving and tonight I can bearly stand up. What should I do?
|
Hi, thank you for posting. I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns. Physical therapy is an alternative of injury treatment. In these cases anti-inflammatory non-steroidal are recommended. But to determine the treatment you need a diagnosis. To do that these tests are necessary:1. Back Ct-scan.2. Complete blood count.3. Fibrinogen test.4. Urine test. Contact your rheumatologist. All the best.

i have experienced heaviness in both of my upper arms, it presents and lasts for less than 15 seconds. It occurred after laying and reading holding a book in place for over an hour and then one incident after rising from driver seat of car after short car ride

Hi, Prolonged use, as you have described, can cause heaviness and numbness. It is quite common and will settle by itself. Nothing much to worry, and it will settle by itself. If symptoms are severe, or you are much worried, you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dear Doctor I had IVF, 10 embryos total and 3 transferred on day 3 with 8 cells. By day 6 all remaining 7 were bad quality to freeze. Does it mean that the average quality is bad and the ones transferred to me also? I am 42 years old. Thank you
|
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Sometimes the preservation is not optimum and the embryos do not survive as well outside as they survive inside the uterus. It necessarily does not mean that the embryo implanted in you are also of a bad quality. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

I have choking in the throat and burbs and i am a chronic patient of gastritis. i am taking Nexpro RD two tablets in morning and night, why is this choking in the throat ? now my doc said need one endoscopy ? is endoscopy required now ?
|
By the term acid reflux I can understand that acid from stomach refluxes back. Yes it's better to go for endoscopy as tablets are not relieving the reflux disease. Even you can go for genus MPS syrup which will help u more.

With all due respect sir/mam, I am 22 years old. I am very sad. From 8 months I am having some dizzy feeling in my head. For 2 months it was just some dizziness. Then I consulted a doctor and he gave me a neck collar. I used it for 2 weeks and found that whenever I move my neck it feels as if neck skin is stretched. And neck feels stiff. And many times when I move my neck a certain cracking sound comes. And one more thing sir. In previous 8 months l have had around 4 episodes of around 5 seconds during night where I got up from bed due to a certain sudden spinning in my head . that is very horrible experience. And I have the feeling that it may always happen again. I have to change my sides during night to averse this spinning attack. Please help me out.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Moments of dizziness can happen due to decreased blood flow from heart to brain. When it happens, the blood flowing through the vessels from heart to brain might have a reduced flow. These are by the carotid and vertebral arteries on either sides. This is more significant when you are standing upright and doing any moderate to heavy physical activity. You might require a CT scan or MRI scan of the brain. The best way to analyze if the reduced blood flow to the brain is causing your dizziness is by doing a carotid and vertebral arteries Doppler ultrasound. It will show the flow of blood from the heart to the brain and if it is adequate. Clinical examination of inner ear and vestibular system in the ear is also required. It might help to do an Electronystagmography (ENG) or videonystagmography (VNG) done to record abnormal eye movements while the head is placed in different positions or your balance organs are stimulated with water or air. For this you might have to consult the ENT specialist. Dizziness can also occur due to stress related anxiety or overflow of emotions.

Im Having Trouble Getting to The Docs But Im Having An Unusual Problem..... At First i started to have alot of bad heartburn then alot of diarrhea..... and now i have and infection in the back of my throat and my taste buds are swollen and i feel like i have something on the back on my throat to swallow but it never goes anywhere. Can u help me by telling me what that could be?
|
Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. Welcome to Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. The way you described it from the very start of problems till now it seems that the infection you faced probably made your tonsils /adenoids swollen, and now you are physically feeling them at the back of your throat. In my opinion if they don't pain or give you fever you can wait for a month or so they would gradually regress in size. If that doesn't happen consult your doctor and discuss a referral to an ENT specialist. For this you don't have to take any meds but if you feel pain or discomfort if I were your doctor I would suggest you over the counter broken 200 mg twice a day or Tylenol 325 mg twice a day. HEART BURN: -Leave alcohol if you do-Leave smoking-Leave fuzzy

### Question: Im Having Trouble Getting to The Docs But Im Having An Unusual Problem..... At First i started to have alot of bad heartburn then alot of diarrhea..... and now i have and infection in the back of my throat and my taste buds are swollen and i feel like i have something on the back on my throat to swallow but it never goes anywhere. Can u help me by telling me what that could be?
### Answer: Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. Welcome to Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. The way you described it from the very start of problems till now it seems that the infection you faced probably made your tonsils /adenoids swollen, and now you are physically feeling them at the back of your throat. In my opinion if they don't pain or give you fever you can wait for a month or so they would gradually regress in size. If that doesn't happen consult your doctor and discuss a referral to an ENT specialist. For this you don't have to take any meds but if you feel pain or discomfort if I were your doctor I would suggest you over the counter broken 200 mg twice a day or Tylenol 325 mg twice a day. HEART BURN: -Leave alcohol if you do-Leave smoking-Leave fuzzy

Viral fevers will take time of minimum 7 to 10 to complete recovery. It better to have antibiotics and anti pyre tics for 7 days with good HY Chat Doctor. Leg pain occur due to the viral toxins. Use diclofenac for leg pains

I just found a week later a bump on my genital area and more itching on my thighs around the genital area. Also now i have lower back pains. What should i do? Im highly worried.

Do you have burning while passing urine or fever? It seems you could have contracted some infection. Might not be anything serious. You should get a V Chat Doctor. At least take Tab Azithromycin 1 gm or In Ceftriaxone. Best would be to get checked by a Dendrologist. Take came and feel free to ask us again.

I am a 64-year-old male. I have difficulty making a complete fist now in both hands. I went to a Hand/Arm Doctor last year with a complaint of soreness in my left hand, thinking I might have arthritis. I was diagnosed with tendinitis in my left hand and received a cortisone injection. X-rays were negative for arthritis. Now I am wondering why my fist won t completely close without some discomfort. Any suggestions or ideas?
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned you were diagnosed with tendinitis then you should have consulted a physical therapist after the cortisone injection. As the cortisone was just to help you ease of pain, but the inflammation of the tendon has to helped by getting its normal. Properly of elasticity for which a physical therapist would have played a key role. Even for now, you should visit a physical therapist and learn about how to get the normal properties of tendon. As with this the joint mobility will improve and the Strengthening will help to get the functioning of the hand close to normal. Well, with the grace of God I wish you good health regards

I spent the night at my Aunt and Uncles house the other night with my daughter. Around midnight my feet started to itch. I went to lay down for bed with my daughter, and after maybe 30 minutes I woke up itching on my legs. I thought maybe it was just my pants so I took them off. Then maybe 5 minutes later my torso also began to itch, so I took my shirt off. Maybe 10 minutes later my entire body was itching so bad I couldn t get a bit of sleep. I laid down on the couch thinking perhaps it was just the bed, and needless to say, I didn t sleep at all. The itching didn t let up for 6 hours. I took a shower which made me feel a little better. I managed to get an hour of sleep before I woke up itching again. I didn t get any rash or bumps until about 1pm today. I have been itching nonstop since midnight the night before last. The weals were on my legs and very large. Covered my entire thighs. They were there for about 2 hours, at least. When I got home from work at 6 they were gone. I then got weals on the bottoms of my feet, and on my hands. I finally got them to ease up after about 2 hours. Now there on my stomach, the top of my bottom around my waist, and going up to my chest. Also some on my neck. I haven t changed soap, laundry detergent, or any unusual food.

Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and my impression from your history is you are having what we call "Acute Urticaria". I would suggest you to take a combination of tablet levocetirizine in the morning and table thy Chat Doctor. However, if this does not help you, I would suggest you consult your doctor who will suggest you some tests to identify the cause of acute urticaria and prescribe appropriate medicines. Acute urticaria are due to many causes like viral infections, parasitic infections, food allergy,

Hi, I experienced pins and needles in my hands arms and face twice in a 12hour period. This has never happened to me before. It was quite intense as I could hardly move my hands and my face pulled so much that at some point I thought I m having a stroke . If I may add the sex was very good. What caused my body to react like that.
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. There are two possibilities in a person with transient neurological disturbances:1. Transient ischemic attack-occurs due to lack of blood flow to a part of brain,2. Seizure-occurs due to abnormal electrical discharges in the brain. Your symptoms may not be related to sex. You should consult a neurologist for evaluation, who may order MRI brain and electroencephalography. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/

My husband has been complaining of throbbing full pains in his upper chest, right below his collarbone area. After exertion it is worse and seems to go up his neck and into his ears as well. Does this sound like a serious problem or will it go away in time?
|
Hello, Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because it is throbbing type and worsening with exertion. So tell him to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest and shoulder.3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.4. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Don't worry he will be alright with all these. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello Doctor, My husband and I are tying to have a baby. He is 45 years old and has had a vasectomy reversal 3 years ago however, there still is no sperm showing up on the tests? What should he do now? Do you think there is a blockage in the tube? He had visited the specialist who performed the surgery and he advised that having another surgery will lessen the chance of us conceiving and has referred us to a fertility clinic to see if there is a blockage. Is there anything else we can do?
|
In my opinion, if there are no sperms in the semen after 3 years of vasectomy reversal, it means that the surgery has not been successful. Even though anatomical restoration may have been done, functional blockage is still present. Chances of success after repeat surgery are poor, hence you should consider IVF/ESA/CSI as an option for fertility.

Hi & Welcome. I can understand your concern for your family member. Incomplete data like age, gender, purpose of doing the lab test C reactive protein, results of other tests and presenting problem. High levels of C reactive protein with a history of passing blood in the stool is suggestive of inflammatory bowel disease like ulcerative colitis. Your family member needs to be evaluated further by a gastroenterologist, an endoscopic examination of the colon with biopsy, CBC & ESR may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.

I am having upper body shakes and was prescribed pms clonazepam and the shakes have stopped. just wondering what causes body shakes? the doc on call at the hospital did not know and called a neurlogist and she said try these pills? and maybe its dystonia ..............I had been under some stress and a week before the shakes was dizzy and walking to the right or should i say staggering......they first thought it was innner ear infection , my blood work was fine, ekg fine and ct scan fine...........
|
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The shakes which have subsided on taking clonazepam are likely to be due to anxiety. Remaining tension free and doing some relaxation exercises like deep breathing and yoga will be helpful in prevention of recurrences. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

If you consider my help, Please post a direct query with every detail. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques to practice. I assure good relief. Hope this answers your query.

Hi, I am having trouble with my front teeth hitting first. I can clench slightly to make my back teeth touch. I have worn two different appliances for over 20 yrs. I am a bruxer and prior to appliance therapy, had numerous headaches. I wore a full splint for about 11 yrs. and an NTI since. Both worked well. Recently I have been clenching a lot during the day as well as during sleep. I am "religious " about wearing my NTI. What do you think is going on in my joints to cause this ? Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Clenching anterior teeth primarily may be due to-crossbite, posterior open bite, TMJ dislocation. I would advise you to get a thorough clinical as well as OPG investigation done for the jaws. Based on the radiographs, position as well as alignment of each tooth and treatment plan can be evaluated. To prevent the habit of bruise, habit breaking appliances has to be placed. Meanwhile, maintain oral care. Hope these suffices. Take care.

My son is bipolar. Recently he was charged with a DUI, officer did not suspect alcohol but insisted he was on narcotics. He is not a drug user or a drinker. He submitted to blood and urine tests. He swears this will prove he was not using drugs. He did however fail the field sobriety test, the blood tests results are not back and judge has decided to suppress results if not back by July 1. My question is, can his bipolar cause him to fail the sobriety tests and cause him to have problems following officers directions?
|
Hi, thanks for the query & I am sorry to hear all your troubles. Brief answer NO. Detailed answer, I need to know what medications your son is on at present. Usually mood stabilizer type Chat Doctor. These

Our 17 year old had some routine labs drawn and has elevations in his RBC, Hgb, auto monocyte, eosinophil Count Abs, AST/SGOT (137), elevated total protein, albumin and globulin (3.7). I am nurse of 20 years and am curious about CA or kidney disease. I have an appt with his PCP in the am. thanks Wendy RN MSN

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has high AST & ALT. They are liver enzymes and their levels increase in liver damage. It can be due to viral infection, alcohol, Chat Doctor. Don't worry about high RBC count or protein. He doesn't have any cancer or kidney disease. He should go for ultrasound abdomen and complete liver function test. Then he should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/

|
Hello, You should know that memory troubles are not really common at this age and could be attributed to a psychological disorder. Anyway, I would recommend checking vitamin B12, vitamin D, and thyroid hormone levels. A brain MRI is necessary too. Only after these tests, I would suggest trying sertraline or paroxetine. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hello there, thanks for the query. I think it could be herpes gingivostomatitis, but its better you show your local dentist or oral surgeon. It requires antiviral medication, but don't know how many days have passed by. So I suggest you to take the lot of fluids, topical anesthetics and analgesics for your pain. Hope it helps. Plz get back to us if u still have doubts.

I have noticed unexplained bruising on my thighs (currently a total of 5 bruises). I have tested with a positive ANA (low positive) and have suffered from muscle pain and fatigue for the past 5 years, with no firm diagnosis. I also have had unexplained blood in my urine, but have had a full work up on my bladder (CT and cystoscopy), with no material findings (my mother also has this). A full CBC run just a few months ago was normal, except for the ANA. I have also tested postive for the Smith antibody and am positive for MTHFR. Is this bruising possibly related to an auto immune condition? Does the MTHFR have an impact? I am not on any medication, but do take a B12 and folic acid daily. I also took a very small dosage for predisone about 4 weeks ago, to help relieve inflammation from a back injury (twisted too much in yoga). Not sure if the predisone could cause bruising so much later?
|
Hello.thanks for using Chat Doctor .autoimmune condition can cause bruising by platelet destruction. But since you had one episode of blood in urine, i will recommend you to consult hematologist. He may advise you to go for complete coagulation assay.since you are positive for MTHFR you should take active form of folic acid like l-methyl folate.it is less likely that steroid causes bruising so lately...hope I have answered your quarries satisfactorily.have a nice day ahead.

Hello I am 56 yr old female who w tagged as bipolar in my 30s. I have recently switched psychciratrists and altering my meds and a change in and clear up my confusion and anxiety. I just started a new job after 2 years of looking for work and not finding it. Right now I am about to lose this job due to the confusion I obviously have. I need to get my head cleared up and my anxiety under control. Can you help?
|
Hi, I read your query and can understand your concern. Anxiety is very common in people with bipolar disorder. I would have liked to know how frequent are your manic and depressive episodes. More importantly, you haven't mentioned what medications are you currently on, as it will be difficult to comment as such without that bit of information. In general, you might be needing one of the mood stabilizers like valproate or lithium in adequate dose. To take care of your anxiety, benzodiazepines may have to be added. SSRIs might be needed and indicated if you did not have any recent manic episodes. You can also start some form of behavioral therapy for relaxation. Doing some relaxation exercise like progressive muscular relaxation will definitely help. Discuss all your issues with your treating psychiatrist. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I keep getting negative hpts but for the past 3 months have been showing all of the symptoms of pregnancy except ,issued period. They are very light, brown in color and shorter than normal, although nearly on time every month. Im a small figured person and my stomach has increased in size and I havent made any changes in my eating habits (despite all the cravings recently) could I be pregnant?
|
Hello, On regular period & negative HPT, it is quite impossible to be pregnant though some clinical features persist. Here, you need to undergo some investigations like pelvic USG, hormone assay, thyroid profile etc. required to pinpoint the diagnosis. You need to consult with gynecologist regarding this. Take healthy diet with vitamin supplement, avoid mental stress or fictitious imagination, maintain genital hygiene & take sound sleep. Be well.

Does your lower back hurt with a bladder or kidney infection? I went to the chiropractor yesterday because my back hurt like it did before and she used an electric stimulator. It worked the last time but not this time. The chiro is closed today.
|
Yea your lower back pain might be due to pelvic infection. Instead of treating the symptoms first get investigation done to know the cause. If it's an Infection u might be asked to use a course of antibiotics. Get well soon.

If she has rhinitis allergy and swollen eyes, PCM and eugenic and ale rid type of medicine will give quick but temporary relief. Stomachache could be due to intolerance of eugenic or other Intestinal infection or spasm too. Without more clinical questions, we will be just guessing. To my own patients I give very basic and successful Ayurveda medicine Chiara Habitat. It's safe but little bitter. If you can give to your daughter of 9 yrs of age 1 tsp twice a day for a month or more, you will see wonderful improvement. Nasal Chat Doctor. More soft is AND TEL. 1

I have a oblong lump in the crease of my thigh at the bikini line! It is not painful but had gotten bigger over the past couple months. It is approximately 3 long by 1/2 wide. I have had a sonogram in which shows no border. Been to the gynecologist who had no idea what it might be, she seemed concerned while examining it so sent me to a surgeon who is not able to see me for two months. Any idea what it could be. There is no change in skin color. It is deep under the skin. Never mind I ll check web MD for symptoms I can t afford 15

My husband is suffering from fever on and off, with muscle pains, mild diarrhea and a bad headache. Is it dengue ? Discovered some spots on his legs too. If im not wrong, theres no treatment for dengue, how would a dengue patient recover? And what are the signs that he is recovering?

Thank you for your query. Dengue is a viral disease that spreads through mosquito bites. Any Fever can be associated with muscles pain and headache and is non-specific to diagnosis of Denouement cases of dengue resolve on its own. In certain people, there may be complications such as bleeding, liver, kidney failure. They will need supportive treatment at the earliest to prevent worsening of the condition. (most commonly there is an increased bleeding tendency that can be corrected by administering blood products if the values are too low)Dengue is confirmed by a high clinical suspicion and the detection of antibodies to the dengue virus (Dengue IGM)Any fever that lasts for more than 3 days without showing signs of resolution and worsening of symptoms and overall condition should be evaluated thoroughly. See your doctor if his symptoms persist. Signs of recovery would be reducing temperatures, improvement in overall health. You mentioned spots on his legs. Monitor them closely to see if they spread or increase in number. Let your doctor know. If he becomes Chat Doctor. Hope this helps. Wish you both good health.

My 9-year-old grandson has run a low-grade fever, usually in the evenings for 7 days. He also has a harsh cough. He has been very healthy up to this point. His lungs have been x-rayed = no signs of congestion, but swelling in one upper lobe of one lung. His mother is extremely worried, as two doctors have mentioned cystic fibrosis. One doctor says there is almost no chance of his having this as he has no other symptoms.

I have a cold sore about 10 days ago. It was healing but on Friday last week, it bled as if some small veins were ruptured. It stopped after 5 mins of pressure. It happened about 4 times or so. On Sunday, I felt a pressure on my front teeth from my lower jaw. Today, my lip is numb and more pressure on my teeth. I feel slightly warm but I haven t take my temperature to know for sure yet. Is it normal for cold sore blister or is it my teeth?
|
Hello, A tingling, irritating and a burning sensation surrounding the mouth usually mark the start of an outbreak of fever blisters. Small fluid-filled blisters then appear, most commonly on or around the corners of your lower lip. You can try some home remedies to avoid cold sores. Dip a piece of cotton roll in milk and place it on the cold sore to relieve pain. As and when the tingling starts try this remedy and prevent it from even developing. You can also apply ice pack over the area to avoid irritation. Replace your toothbrush. You can also apply petroleum jelly over the cold sore to prevent infection.

i get pain on right side .i am 21 weeks pregnant .it is a dull pain ,i get it when i breathe or when i change from this side to that while sleeping or when i press while standing. why is that like that

Welcome to Chat Doctor If the pain is in the side of the lower chest, you could be having a muscular pain due to bad posture during sleep or work. Nothing to worry. You can apply pain killing balm or gel on that area to relieve the pain. Adopt proper posture, no sideways turning of head and upper body during sleep. Get a urine test if kidney stone is suspected. If you develop fever, back pain and burning sensation on passing urine you would need medical help to take care of a possible urinary infection which should not be neglected. Chat Doctor. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation as well.

Not sure you will be able to help.. My 85 year old mother went o the emergency room last Thursday morning with shortness of breath and coughing. They admitted her because her electrolytes wee low...specifically her sodium was 120. They x-rayed her lungs and she had fluid all around them so they gave her Lasix...a couple hours later she had a seizure and stopped breathing...they were able to put her on ventilator. Tested her sodium again and it was 117. The family had her transferred to Baylor Dallas. Once there she was monitored, put on sodium drip, antibiotic iv, catheter, a heart respiration monitor until the next evening...was taken off ventilator and put on oxygen and sodium was tested again. From there they did a chest x-ray, checked her kidneys, checked her heart. Kidneys ok. Heart ok, except early congestive heart failure. Lungs had area at bottom left lobe but they didn t think anything of it or at least they said it was probably collapsed. Moved her out of ICU and into another room. Told us she could go home in a day and to follow up with a primary care giver. Let me preface this by saying my mother only has Medicare...which explains the rush. We protested on the day they said she could go home. We had no answers, she wasn t even off the oxygen, which she has never had to use before, the catheter wasn t out, she had not even gotten up out of the bed, she was very weak and her heart was going up and down. A different Doctor quickly agreed that she should not leave yet. Update a day later. The doctors had her sodium, potassium and magniesium levels stable and they started dropping immediately lower every day. We pressed for some kind of answer. She had lost 65 pounds in the last year along with muscle wasting and no energy. She has a meningeoma on her frontal left head and one on her spine by her neck. These things we already knew and so did they. Finally they came back with well she could be producing a hormone from the meningiomas that is keeping her from having the correct sodium level or it could be cancer. So we asked them... well what about the area o her lung? They had no answer. We told them we wanted to do a body scan. They said they also were considering that. They ordered a body scan. Here is the latest update...she has arterial fibulation, CT scan showed shadow on the left lung, they think it could be pneumonia...hello? we asked them that and they said no 2 days earlier . he has too much CO2 in her blood, they don t know why yet. Her pancreas has inflammation and they will need to do a more in depth study on that. They have decided that the hormone secretion is the problem...I don t know how they know that now but didn t know that before the scan? That s it. What are we supposed think?

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.
### Question: Not sure you will be able to help.. My 85 year old mother went o the emergency room last Thursday morning with shortness of breath and coughing. They admitted her because her electrolytes wee low...specifically her sodium was 120. They x-rayed her lungs and she had fluid all around them so they gave her Lasix...a couple hours later she had a seizure and stopped breathing...they were able to put her on ventilator. Tested her sodium again and it was 117. The family had her transferred to Baylor Dallas. Once there she was monitored, put on sodium drip, antibiotic iv, catheter, a heart respiration monitor until the next evening...was taken off ventilator and put on oxygen and sodium was tested again. From there they did a chest x-ray, checked her kidneys, checked her heart. Kidneys ok. Heart ok, except early congestive heart failure. Lungs had area at bottom left lobe but they didn t think anything of it or at least they said it was probably collapsed. Moved her out of ICU and into another room. Told us she could go home in a day and to follow up with a primary care giver. Let me preface this by saying my mother only has Medicare...which explains the rush. We protested on the day they said she could go home. We had no answers, she wasn t even off the oxygen, which she has never had to use before, the catheter wasn t out, she had not even gotten up out of the bed, she was very weak and her heart was going up and down. A different Doctor quickly agreed that she should not leave yet. Update a day later. The doctors had her sodium, potassium and magniesium levels stable and they started dropping immediately lower every day. We pressed for some kind of answer. She had lost 65 pounds in the last year along with muscle wasting and no energy. She has a meningeoma on her frontal left head and one on her spine by her neck. These things we already knew and so did they. Finally they came back with well she could be producing a hormone from the meningiomas that is keeping her from having the correct sodium level or it could be cancer.

I am looking for an antihistamine for my 9 year old son who has multiple food allergies and environmental allergies. I met with an allergist yesterday and he recommended xyzal syrup which is flavored. i am not sure what the flavor is since he is allergic to a number of flavors including artificial flavors.would you know of what flavors are available? the tablet form contains lactose and he is intolerant to dairy so not sure here as well. please advise.
|
Rizal contains levocetirizine which is an effective antiallergic. Although a child could be allergic to many external principles, he would not be allergic to all. You may still give the medicine a try and see if he has any reactions to it. Chances are that he would not be allergic to them. As of now do not bother about the flavor. The amount of lactose contained in a tablet is not much and so it would probably not be a cause of concern. You may also try giving Montage LC Kid (montelukast + levocetirizine) in tablet or syrup form. I hope that helps. Feel free to revert with further queries if any.

I get short of breath when talking....This only started happening within the last few weeks....Chest x-ray was clean and so was the other breathing tasks that I was given...I can exercise wihtout any problem. However, talking triggers my shortness of breath......Any thoughts?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Breathlessness with normal chest x-ray is commonly seen with bronchitis (inflammation of airways). So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).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.

My boyfriend is ADD, maybe ADHD and he was taking ritalin, but has changed to Adderall. I think he talks a lot period, but it seems like it just doesnt ever stop anymore. He is intelligent, but I cant say anything. Sometimes if I try to add something to the conversation he just cuts me off. What do you think about the medication and does this sound like ADHD?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. ADD or ADD has so many related symptoms and are commonly over read during adolescent period. If your boyfriend is taking Adderall, under the prescription of a psychiatrist, then he must be suffering from ADHD. Normally psychiatrists are trained to give medicines for the correct diagnosis. I surely think it to be true. But from your description here, there are no symptoms are given which confirms his attention deficit or hyperactivity. Talking incessantly cannot be termed as hyperactivity. Any way, if you are able to provide me more symptoms, I shall try to diagnose. But again, his psychiatrist is the best judge. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Hi I have this pain in my Left shoulder, when i move my shoulder in a circle it feels like the bones are crunching, this pain is evan worse when sleeping often wakes me up. This came about 2 years ago when cleaning and scrubbing walls for like 4 days and seems to be getting worse.
|
Dear patient Pain in left shoulder with cracking sound on movement indicates arthritis of shoulder. Cracking sound is credits produced due to rubbing of two articular surfaces when they are eroded. This needs to be investigated with X-ray of left shoulder anteroposterior and lateral views to confirm diagnosis and MRI of shoulder joint if required. Meanwhile, start tab attract p twice a day for pain relief. You need to consult expert orthopedic surgeon with X-ray report. All the best.

Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query, as you have pain and pus in upper front tooth this can be due to poor oral hygiene formation of periodontal abscess, or it can be due to periapical abscess secondary RO caries or trauma. Don't worry I will suggest you to take medication Antibiotic like cap. Amoxicillin 500 mg and analgesic like petrol DT if you are not allergic to this medication. Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Consult dentist as early as possible for its treatment. Hope this will help you.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your total WBC count is high. Your neutrophil count is also high. It suggests that you have some bacterial infection. You should take a course of antibiotics according to your doctors' advice. Your MTV is also high to suggest you may have it b12 deficiency. You should take treatment for that also. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any symptoms then you can contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

My husband s urine smells like vomit (he flushes, but I can smell it when I enter the bathroom minutes later) and when I mentioned it, he says it is also really frothy. He thinks this is funny, but is there something wrong with his kidneys? Diabetes runs in his family.
|
Hello, thanks for posting on Chat Doctor. It is good you took this into consideration. Smelly and frothy urine means that he might be losing proteins in urine. Smelly urine could be because of ketones in urine. As diabetes history is present in family it will be very much important to find out his diabetic status. I would like to advise you to get a urine routine examination done and also get a morning fasting blood sugar levels. Urine examination will comment on presence of proteins, ketones, any sort of infection present in urine or not. Fasting blood sugar will tell you whether he is entering in diabetic range of blood sugars or not. If you have a family doctor you can consult him with the reports, or you can revert with me. I will be glad to report it and advice accordingly. Thank you

I had undulant fever in 1953, have had severe fatigue, joint pain etc. on & off for several years, very severe this past year. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 9 i really dont think I have that) I had a dream and was directed to tell my Dr that I had Undulant fever as a child, I did and now she really thinks I am nuts. I have read some things about cronic undulanr fever. So the question is this..could I have this after 57 years? Is there a blood test for this?
|
Hi thanks for asking question You want to know about how to diagnose undulant fever. It can present with fever, myalgic, arthritis, headache etc. Blood will reveal anemia and leukemia mainly. Gram stain reveal gram negative coccobacilli. Serological test is helpful like ELISA. Blood or bone marrow culture helpful for diagnosis. If liver is involved liver enzymes like AST elevated. Liver biopsy can be helpful. I hope I have solved your query regarding diagnosis of brucellosis

Hello, I have had the implanon inserted for about 2 years now, I had a lot of spotting and so a couple of months ago I took birth control pills and that made the spotting stop. A couple of days ago I smoked marijuana and suddenly my spotting returned, could the marijuana have caused the spotting?
|
Thank you for your question and I will try to help. The most common complaint with these implants (they are progesterone implants) is breakthrough spotting. Early on after their insertion, this is very common. Later, such as after 2 years, the lining of the uterus becomes very thin (which is normal) and prone to bleeding. This can once again be treated with birth control pills. This has nothing to do with marijuana use. Finally, make sure that you check a pregnancy test now and in 1-2 weeks. I hope that this helps and good luck!

You need to rule out Pelvic inflammatory disease. Better to get to the ER and get examined and tested for the same. Kindly do so without delay.

My 18 year old has developed streaking hives and itching 8 months ago. He is on zytec and zantac 150 bid. Blood work showed allergic to dust mites and grasses. I asked for the testing with the shots and had to be off of the antihistamines for 7 days prior to testing. His symptoms are getting worse. He was off of the meds for 2 days and had to leave school for severe itching and swelling of his back. Can you please advise on another specialist he is beyond miserable. Marcy

Hide might need a short course steroid like methylprednisolone 4 mg twice for 5 days. Levocetrizine and montelukast to continue for one week after the steroid course might clear his attack. Calamine lotion for external application give him soothing effect. Hope this may help you thanks

Yesterday, while grocery shopping I began gushing liquid, and I am almost certain that it was not urine. It felt like blood during my period, but it was clear and would not stop. I went to the hospital and they checked me out and saw plenty of fluid around the baby and didn t see any amniotic fluid inside me when they did a swab. What could it have been?
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. Iam happy that the leaked fluid was not the liquor. As enough liquor is present, and the vaginal swab has ruled out it to be amniotic fluid it might be mostly vaginal discharge. Sometimes the vaginal discharge will be so excessive and mistaken to be liquor. So relax. Avoid stress. Observe for fetal movements. Take adequate fluids up to 3 liters per day. In case of any excessive thick curry white or any yellow vaginal discharge I suggest you to rule out vaginal infection. Best regards...

### Answer: Hello dear, I understand your concern. Iam happy that the leaked fluid was not the liquor. As enough liquor is present, and the vaginal swab has ruled out it to be amniotic fluid it might be mostly vaginal discharge. Sometimes the vaginal discharge will be so excessive and mistaken to be liquor. So relax. Avoid stress. Observe for fetal movements. Take adequate fluids up to 3 liters per day. In case of any excessive thick curry white or any yellow vaginal discharge I suggest you to rule out vaginal infection. Best regards...

Hi went to my drs today as suspected I had high blood pressure and have being having palpatations. She gave me an echo which seemed ok, however is sending me for a chest xray, lots of blood tests and also have to wear a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours. Is this really necessary ? Wouldnt the echo have shown something if there really was a problem. I really hate doing these things unnecessarily.
|
Hi, If you there are a suspicion of high blood pressure, then we perform ECG, echocardiography, some obligatory blood tests to rule out other organ problems which could cause high blood pressure. We measure blood pressure at the hospital, but in the majority of cases it is not enough, and we need to know how the patients blood pressure behaves during the day, to decide out strategy of patient management. So, in my opinion your doctor does everything correctly. Take fearsome back if you have any further questions

I had an angioplasty and stent procedure just over a week ago. the cathertization was difficult and I have been left with an extremely soe groin. I have a large purple bruise and a masssive amount of pain in the ovarian area. I have also had vaginal bleeding and clooting although my period was not due for a further 11 days. I have tried contacting my GP and the hospital but no one seems interested. Is my ovary likely to be damaged or just temporarily bruised. Im 45
|
Hi this bruising is called hematoma, its very normal post PTC at the site of inserting catheter, it will take at least 6 to 8 weeks for the hematoma to dissolve, hematoma is formed because of the leaked blood around blood vessel, degeneration and absorption of that blood will take 6 to 8 weeksdon, t worry its normal

My husband is 42. He has been having several frequent episodes of sudden nausea, profuse sweating, week. Sometimes if he lays down it passes but not always. His dr. Recently put him on steroids to see if it would help..? Hasn t so far...seems more frequent while taking them
|
These can be panic attacks or symptoms of some anxiety disorder. Please ask your doctor whether your husband has some anxiety disorder. In my opinion, steroids would not benefit much but a detailed description of symptoms would be of more help to guide you further.

Hi there, I am 28yrs old 5ft 2in weight 175lbs, I have hypo thyroid. Heart disease runs in my family, my father died at 49 because of it and so did my grandfather. I have been experiencing a lot of low BP and low heart rate, today it was 36. My dr seems to be very puzzled on what to do with me and I am starting to get worried. What do you think?
|
Hello, The very first thing is to re-evaluate your thyroid through thyroid function test. You need a further complete cardiac check up (EKG, echocardiogram, Holder monitoring). Complete blood count to rule out anemia, blood electrolytes to rule out related imbalance, check also levels of vitamin-D and calcium, altogether are required to determine the right diagnosis. After evaluating the results, you can decide about the best treatment strategy. Discuss this further with your caring doctor. All the best. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Thank you.

Hi, i been on birth control for a month, and i had unprotected sex with my bf, should i take the moring after pill? could the mix of both pills do harm? or i shouldnt worry? i been taking the BC everyday, but not always at the same time, does this affect in any way?
|
Hi, The pill offers enough protection if you are regular with it, though you may miss the exact time by a few inches. Yet, added protection is needed in the initial month of pill intake as safety cannot be guaranteed. As such, you may need the emergency contraception if you happen to be during the fertile period when the intercourse happened. If you need the pill, please take it within the stipulated time, and a few hours away from the regular pill intake. Your hormonal balance is going to be disrupted in this cycle, and you may need assistance if you do not see your next period even after ten days after it is due. Hope this helps.

hello i am 21 years old 170 63. i have some really old life long cavities and it seems like my jawbone is throbbing on my nerves and its super sore and my neck ears and temples throb all the time.but in my gums im noticing like fluid and stuff that moves in my gums.top and botem left n right side. to me it feels life threatening everyday. i go to bed in pain,then wake up in pain i realize its because my teeth are bad but can u tell me whats going on and what a doctor can do to help me.
|
Hi, Thanks for posting the query, According to your clinical symptoms I suppose that you are having a lot of cavities in your mouth this could be due to poor oral hygiene. I would suggest you to get an examination done take an OPG radiograph, the tooth which can be saved can be root canal treated, which cannot be saved can be removed and replaced by removable and fixed prosthesis. For pain relief take tab almost TDS, tab dicloserratiopeptidase TDS, tab omen BD. Go for complete mouth scaling and polishing. Take care!

I got married on 15th Jan 2012. My gynac adviced a 21 day contraceptive course which i took for around 18 days. but since then.. my period has never been regular. sometimes it comes on the 35 day of the cycle sometimes 38. some times 45. I have never taken any other pill since jan 2012. Now that it is more than a year, this irregular cycle worries me. Is it a sign of infertility? before marriage my period was regular - it would always come on the 27/28th day of the cycle.
|
Hello, , welcome to Chat Doctor. Yes, ire regular period may be the sign of infertility. So, you have to do this following test. These are thyroid profile, LH, FSH, DHEA and ultrasound of whole abdomen. You have to take combined oral contraceptive pill for six menstrual cycles. So, do these things as early as possible and report. Take care.

I guess I was raised to fear the label of malingerer more than that of recently deceased. Over the span of a few days the following symptoms have been intermittent but persistent: distention and full feeling of upper abdomen, burning in chest (heartburn), mild pain in left jaw, neck, shoulder and arm. Some swelling of face and hands, shortness of breath. Was recently treated for pneumonia but cough and congestion still a problem. I am just wondering at what point does this become emergency? I am a 44 year old female.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, possibility of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and bronchitis is more. HERD causes micro aspiration and this can aggravate bronchitis and cause breathlessness. Your heart burn, upper abdominal discomfort etc. are due to HERD. So proper control of HERD is needed in your case. So avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic Chat Doctor. Go for walk after meals. For bronchitis, you should first get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). This will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So consult doctor and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My daughter who is 1 years old has a habit of sucking her thumb during the day and night .... I have heard about a lotion Femite which is bitter in taste to use for getting rid of such habit.... want to know how safe is it to use on kids... any side effects ?
|
Welcome to Ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my answer. As a matter of fact, your child will not swallow even a little amount as it is very pungent thing. But yes, it has side effects as gastric upset, nausea, omitting and loose stools. But as I have said above, no child will suck his finger if Semite is put there. He will spit out. I hope I have solved your query. Let me know if I can assist you further in this query. With regards Chat Doctor.

Post triple by-pass surgery 7 weeks. Been getting burning sensation at night while sleeping upper shoulders across back, wakes me up Goes away after approx. 5 min. but by this time I am quite anxious and BP goes up and heart pounding . Settles back down after getting up. Any ideas
|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to gastroesophageal reflux. I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, and some tests:- resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound to examine your cardiac structure and function-blood lab tests (complete blood count, cardiac enzymes, inflammation tests, liver and kidney function tests, blood electrolytes). A fibrogastroscopy is necessary for the diagnosis. I would recommend starting omeprazole or lansoprazole. If your symptoms improve by these Chat Doctor. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,

### Answer: Hi, If you have given all doses of DPT at 6 weeks, 10 weeks and 14 weeks then there is no need of tetanus injection. If not then you should give tetanus injection. Regards Chat Doctor.

hi..Im june kathlene rafayla,RN,MAN..my partner and I make love April 26-27..and I was given depo trust shot May3,2013..Is there any possibility that I May get pregnant from April26-May2 just before I received the depo shot? And if I get pregnant and still received the shot, what will happen to the baby? Is there any way to discontinue or reverse the contraceptive effect of depo shot at this moment?
|
I need to know your last menstrual Period(LMP) and regularity of your cycles to know if you were in your fertile period at the time of making love. In that case you could have become pregnant. If it is Demo Progesterone nothing will happen to the baby. No chance of stopping or reversing demo action. What was your intention of taking demo shot?

I have a painful lump in my groin area that appeared a few days ago and seems to be growing. I am in the process of being tested for ovarian cancer. My CA-125 level was high and the doctor is waiting on results from an ultrasound. Could this lump have anything to do with this?
|
If you are a postmenopausal lady, wit complex cyst, septations in ovary on USG abdomen In combination with high ca 125 levels, can be suspicious of cancer. Gynaec oncologist can guide you

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is a disease caused by animal bite, it is a 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and complete treatment. The treatment includes thorough wound wash, antirabies vaccine and anti rabies serum (AS). Antirabies vaccine should be taken intramuscularly on to deltoid on days 0.3.7.14 and 28 along with the rabies immunoglobulins around the wound on day 0. As the bite was on the hand, because of the bacterial infection of the wound area it may lead to cellulitis of the affected area. It should be treated vigorously with antibiotics like syrup Autoclave and the syrup solo. Cellulitis after treatment it will go off. The scheduled vaccination should be continued without any delay. Thank you.

History: I am 35 years old. I am a computer programmer by profession. I have been playing badminton with intermittent breaks (1-2 year at a stretch) for about 17 years now. I have never played professionally but when I do play I play it regularly and I generally play for long hours. I have been noticing that I have tired legs for past 4 years. Initially I thought maybe it is because of my habit of sleeping late, sleeping for less than 6 hours on an average and my smoking habits. But then for past 2 years I have stopped smoking and have improved on my sleep patterns. But the problem of fatigued legs, especially my knees has been increasing. Though there is no swelling or any pain in any particular area, I do not feel the same energy in my knees like before. To sum it up, earlier I had a good jump and I used to jump and smash. But now I rarely jump. I don t plan and not jump but its just that I have involuntarily stopped jumping for hitting smashes because I don t feel comfortable with my knee. I get searing pain at certain angles. I cannot climb the stairs in a carefree manner for the fear of that searing pain at certain angles. At those angles when that pain comes, I have to balance myself using my other leg or else I feel like I could not take my body weight and will tumble. I can t remember of any specific injury or anything apart from one incident when I was trying to stamp my right foot in the ground really hard and then I felt a sharp pain in my knee. The pain was a so sharp that I got scared and stopped. But it wasn t like a continuous pain but I felt that something went wrong with my knee that day. I eventually stopped playing for about a year and then my knees felt better but then what started to happen was that my knees would feel tired about playing for about say an hour. Earlier I could easily manage it for 2-3 hours with breaks between matches and occasionally sit-outs between consecutive matches. Also now I don;t jump to smash and also I don t jump to reach to shuttles near the net from center of the court. It has affected my ability to cover court during the play.

Hello, I have studied your case. As per your age and history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee. Most commonly meniscus injury occurs may be associated collateral ligament injury. If pain persists then you may need to do MRI knee to see for any functional defect. As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion. Rest and ice fomentation along with supportive brace will help to reduce swelling and pain. Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG and TENS. Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair. There can be associated muscle cramp in leg muscles. 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.

Ok dear as u have a diagnosed case of H. Pylori disease so we will start H.pylori eradication therapy. So all you have to do is start having medications and once it is settled then you can prevent this disease by following simple preventive measures. Medications:1-Tab Azithromycin 500 mg twice daily2-Tab Amoxicillin 1g twice daily3-Cap Omeprazole 20 mg twice daily You have to take medications for 2 weeks. Prevention: This disease can be prevented by following these measures.1-You have to stop taking NSAIDs for pain relief e.g. aspirin, diclofenac, naproxen,fanatic acid. You can take paracetamol for pain relief which is not a NSAID.2-You have to modify your diet i.e. less spicy foods and avoid one large meal. Instead, have three small meals a day. 3-Avoid cigarette smoking as it causes peptic ulcers Thanks, Wishing you best of health

hi doc i am sajid i am 28 years n i am suffering from hair loss n i had consulted a hair transplant expert he told me that it will require at least 2000graphs to be inserted for hair transplant plz suggest me regarding it n what wil it cost plz help me
|
Hello, Hi SAJID A. there are two method of HT 1. DUE- more popular now. It is scarless, painless, stitches less surgery2. FUT-strip taken from the back of scalp, stitches, scars comes usually do DUE until unless somebody requests me to do FUT. In DUE grafts are taken from the back of scalp (occipital area) and implant over the bald area. It is very safe procedure and post op complications are not much. Results are good. Well about requirement of graft its very difficult say anything until I see photos of bald area and scalp. Front area takes 2500 graft usually with covering of good density.

I have had knots in my calf muscle for years but it has gotten progressively worse. Sometimes it is hard to walk very long without having to sit down. Sometimes the pain is really great and sometimes it is not. When the pain is there it also causes some pain in my upper leg and hip. I have had the vain and artery check which they say is ok. I also stretch my calves which does not seem to help. I also have plantar facetious.
|
Hello, Did you mention in history about the knots? Is it varicose veins? Have you got your Doppler done for the veins and arteries? Once checked we can find out if it is the cause for knots in the calf. Now coming to your plantar fasciitis, I would recommend you to do hot water fermentation and some balance board exercise. Usually, people have abnormal gait due to plantar fasciitis which can lead to additional biomechanical changes in the muscular system. Doing balance board training should help improve muscle Imbalance and improve the strength of the muscles. Most of my patients with plantar fasciitis response well to balance board training. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi For quite some time I ve had a sore leg with tenderness to the touch on the outer side of my right knee and swelling on my leg just below the knee with a knot in it. If I sit for a while or upon rising in the morning, it takes a little bit to be able to stand on it. It hasn t gotten worse nor better. About three months ago I had a cortisone injection in the knee joint because I couldn t stand on it at all. Any idea what might be going on?
|
Hello dear, welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* This seems in relation with inflammatory lump involving leg.* Needs evaluation with clinical examination or at least a photo pic as an attachment herewith. Welcome for any further guidance. Regards.

My daughter has suffered from vertigo for more than 2 years. It is accompanied by palpitations,general weakness,a heaviness on her chest.She has been under the psychiatrist for anxiety but has had no relief after taking diazepam and seroxat.The dizziness is daily to some extent or other and sometimes she can barely stand.Problems with the ear have been ruled out.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, she should consult another psychiatrist and psychotherapist. All her symptoms are due to uncontrolled stress, anxiety and panic disorder. Counselling plays very important role in control of these symptoms. And psychotherapist are the best persons who give counseling. She will also need newer anxiolytic and anti depressants for better symptomatic relief. So don't worry, she will be alright with proper counselling and newer treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.

what are the long term effects of low hemoglobin? I was admitted into the hospital a week ago with hemoglobin level of under 7. I was given blood transfussions & iron via IV and was discharged with hemoglobin level of 10. I am concerned of the effects in the long run if I dont increase my hemoblobin levels.
|
Thanks for asking to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern.In my opinion, bodys compensatory mechanisms come into play, when the hemoglobin levels are low, and you feel generally only symptoms like palpitations, weakness,headache, shortness of breath etc.However, If anemia(low hemoglobin) left untreated, the compensatory mechanisms start to fail due to exhaustion and any other conditions, which takes years, serious problems like multiorgan failure can occur(for heart failure due to cardiomyopathy). Hope this information helps you. Take care.

well sometimes ill be sitting, standing or walking and out of nowwhere it feels like my heart juss suddenly hesistates to beat...so it will hesistate then beat what could this be?
|
Hello, Your symptoms could be related to anxiety. Nevertheless, I would recommend performing some tests in order to exclude any possible cardiac arrhythmia or metabolic disorders: - a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound-thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance-complete blood count for anemia. A 24-48 ECG Holder monitoring would help exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia. If these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your complaints. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

HI Doctor,My brother had a sever stomach pain in the right and back side of the Stomach. We went to a doctor and he gave a injection and pain killer where in he got omitting.Then doctor asked us to go for a scanning where in they diagnosed it as a kidney stone that is of 0.6mm and effecting the surrounding areas.Then they asked us for CT Scan where in the report is as belowa preliminary A>P scanogram of the abdomino-pelvic regions was first made. spiral scans were made through KUB reagions. emplying 8mm sections and wide latitide in wimbdow settiong coronal reconstructions were also performed.both the kindly are normal in location, orientation and size and shape and attenuations.on the right side of the mild pelvicalyectasia with ureteric ecatasis is noted down to the upper L3 level at which point loged on a nodular focus of cacific hyperattenuations of up to186HU in attenuation values and about 0.40x0.38x0.73cm in diameters distal to thus the right uerter grossly appears normal.the appendix is retrcaecal/retrocoloc in orientation and measuring approximately 0.6cm in diamiter and normal.Please let me me know the reason and what action is required. IS a surgery nessecary ?
|
Hi there, the CT scan report is a little fuzzy but what I gather is that there is a stone about .6 cm-.8 cm size in the rt ureter, and it is not causing any significant obstructive myopathy. The pain that your brother experienced is due to the stone moving downwards. Usually this size of stone does not require surgery and usually pass down on its own over a period of time. Though it can be painful, there are other options besides surgery like ESL to break up the stone into smaller pieces so that it can pass out in the urine. Kindly consult a urologist and get your options cleared and accordingly opt for the best kind of treatment. Take care

i had a depo injection almost two weeks ago into my upper buttock within minutes my back started to ache and after 2 hours i couldnt walk up the stairs properly every day for a week i had a lower to mid back ache but then it got so bad the following week i could barely walk sit or lie down. my gp sent me for an xray but that came back normal so its not spinal. I have not been able to work all week and i am keen to get back. Could the nurse have accidently put the injection into the wrong area. Ive been having these injections for 16 years and have never had any problems before. I have had two massages by a clinical sports massuese but they have not relieved the pain either.
|
While this is clearly painful and dysfunctional, the anatomy is such that the nurse could not have done anything dangerous with the injection. She simply did it in a way that irritated the local muscles and sent them into spasm. So, topical ice, rest, and anti-inflammatory medications (Advil/allele) should do the trick. No need to worry.

i had multiple fibroids in uterus and cyst in ovary which was removed. no children-age 37. now iam feeling some heavines in my lower abdomen, severe pain on the right side of lower adbomen at times. urgency to urinate one day a clear watery secretion came from vagina.is it cancer? i have hroid problem also &pain on the back-left upper thoracic area
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Multiple urine fibroid and ovarian cyst doesn't suggest any cancer. If you have abdominal pain then you should go for ultrasound abdomen. You might have some other disease also. Consult your doctor and go for investigation. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
