Hi,I am suffering with harpies viral infection in my left side of neck till shoulder. Today is the 4th day. I have started taking aciclovir 400 tablet 5 times a day and applying aciclovir cream 3-4 times a day. Is it the correct way to cure it? Do i need to take anything more? How many days will it take to cure it (approx)?
|
Acyclovir is a specific treatment for the harpies viral infection. You have to take the medicine for 7 days. The vesicular lesions may disappear after 2-3 weeks. However, if the pain is very severe you may need additionally corticosteroids medicine for 1-2 weeks after which this can be stopped gradually by tapering the dose for 1-2 weeks. In some people the pain will persist for 6 months to 1 year (post -hype tic neuralgia). In such a case Chat Doctor.

Hi. Thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. HAV, HBO, CV, Alcohol ingestion, obesity are common causes of liver disease. Rule out HBV and Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal).

Hi, Im a 29 year old man, married since last 2 years. We had lot of differences in the first year of marriage which got sorted out gradually. Since last six months Ive been staying alone and travel on weekends to home due to professional engagements.On 19th we were celebrating our second marriage anniversary, everything was going fin till the time I got drunk and blasted at her.

|
Hello and thanks for your query. I understand that you are going through a difficult period. You have mentioned that of late you feel more angry and irritable and that you are not able to feel enjoyment or happiness. All these symptoms could be indicative of a depression. Since this seems to be affecting you as well as your marital relationship, it is necessary that you seek professional help. Help is available in the form of medication to relax your mind as well as counselling. So, I would suggest that you consult a psychiatrist in your place for a detailed evaluation and further treatment. Best wishes,

I had a total hysterectomy about 10+ years ago. I am not sexually active, I noticed about a week ago that I had a lump on the right side of the inside of my vagina. I used hot compresses and the lump came to a head and started to bleed just a little. All was fine. Then 4 days ago I started feeling uncomfortable and getting another lump so I bought some monistat cream last night I used it and I noticed a very small amount of blood on the plastic insert. Today I have blood like I am on my period. Not sure what is happening. I have no belly pain, a little burning. When I go to the restroom and I wipe just a trace of blood. Help

I am a 53 year old female, weight 146-height 5 4 . I recently had an ultra sound because of elevated liver enzymes . There was some fat infaltration. One month after the ultra sound my liver enzymes were AST-29, ALT-57. I was told to continue to abstain from drinking alcohol for a total of three months and have my enzymes checked again. I had been drinking 3 to 4 glasses of wine a night for many years because I have high cholesterol and thought this would help with the cholesterol. If my liver enzymes return to a normal range is it all right to have an occasional glass of wine?

Hello madam, I have gone through your problem. You said that you are Chat Doctor. Fatty infiltration of the liver is seen in obese patients and patients who take alcohol. You also had raised liver enzymes which shows that you had alcoholic hepatitis. Now your liver enzymes had returned to normal, but still there is a chance for you to have hepatitis (raised liver enzymes) in future if you take alcohol. My advice is to abstain from

Hi I am looking for an advice on radiotherapy for my mother who was operated for removal of uterus. Uterus was found to be malignated. Although, all other reports after the operation confirms negative meaning no malignancy in the body now, I would like to take a second opinion whether it is recomended to go for radiotherapy.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, radiotherapy is advisable after surgery for uterine malignancy. During surgery, spillage of malignant cells is unavoidable. Spillage is common due to handling of tumor mass. So tumor cells are likely to present at the site of operation. And hence local site recurrence is common after tumor surgery. To avoid this recurrence, radiotherapy is given post operative. Radiotherapy will kill the tumor cells at local site. And hence recurrence can be prevented. So it is always advisable to give post operative chemotherapy to prevent local site recurrence. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.

And hence recurrence can be prevented. So it is always advisable to give post operative chemotherapy to prevent local site recurrence. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.

Hi my mum was diaganosed 4 years ago with follicular non hodgkins lymphoma and finished mab therapy last feb however 2 weeks ago she was told she has swollen glands due to the disease again and a gland in her neck swelled to a large size overnight, this lump is hard and painful. Is this lymphoma and this mean that it is becoming more aggressive, also what is expected life expectancy with this type of cancer . Thank you
|
The swelling appeared overnight may be secondary to the lymphoma your mother had. Since it is a large and hard mass it is probably a spread of the lymphoma and is of aggressive type. At this stage It's difficult to predict the expectancy because it may vary person to person. But theoretically she may have up to 2 years if she is retreated for the lymphoma. Retreatment also depends on her health status. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you. Best wishes.

My wife s personality has gradually changed. She was an English teacher for a decade before she quit to raise our kids, but now she takes an hour just to compose a short email, and has trouble explaining anything. She used to be able to quickly plan and execute complex activities, but now seems to mentally spin her wheels over anything that requires a significant decision. My brother, who is not a doctor but works in health care, said it sounded like it might be some early sign of dementia, and thought she should see a doctor. My wife is only 48, but her father has Alzheimer s, and her father s mother also had it, so this struck a chord of terror. I have not observed any memory problems. Does this seem likely? I don t want to bring it up with her out of concern it will just cause needless anxiety, unless I have something more concrete indicating that she would really benefit seeing a doctor. Thanks.

His had gone through your query. Alzheimer is age related dementia. Dementia is forgetfulness in which recent memory effect in initial stages. Inability to register new events and in ability to recall events that occur recently is main core feature of it. It is going to worsen as age progress, and gradually it effect whole cognitive functions. In last, it may affect executive functions along with behavior disturbances. Psychological illness like anxiety, depression, catastrophic reaction may associate with it. Proper treatment in early stage can prevent further damage. It can be treated with medicines with psychological approach. Consult neurologist and psychiatrist for better assistance. I hope I have answered your query. Thank you.

Hello, I am having fairly acute pain above my belly button. It feels muscular to me. It hurts worse when I contract my muscles. To make the pain go away i need to completely relax my abdominal muscles. Should i see a doctor or do you thin it is a muscle pull?
|
Hi, There can be various reasons apart from a muscle pull as intestine inflammation, early appendicitis or other intra-abdominal issues which can present similarly. Can see after intake of analgesic for a period of 12-24 hours, if the pain persists later, should consult your PCP. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Welcome to Chat Doctor. There are so many medicines in Ayurveda, homeopathy and even in apathy. But without diet and exercise management it will not work. You have to be manage you diet pattern.

I just recently had sex with my boyfriend I have herpes but we used a condom I just got over an outbreak there was little skin to skin contact on his thigh from where I had my outbreak at can I spread it by his thigh touching it but he washed up and took a shower right afterwards is he at risk I know it takes 2-7 days for symptoms to show I really need some answers im scared for him!
|
Thank you for your query. You have genital herpes, transmitted mainly by human herpes virus 2 (HHV-2). (HHV-1 causes oral lesions; HHV-2 causes genital lesions). The virus is present in the fluid within the vesicles. Rupture of the vesicles and contact of the infective vesicular fluid with the skin of the uninfected person can transmit the infection. Herpes can also be transmitted by oral sex. In your case, there appears to be a possibility for infection.

hi...im a 22 year old hypotensive female...two weeks ago i had this pain at the back of my left knee while i was shopping.but it has been 2 weeks now and it still hurts.its still bearable but i wonder why the pain isnt going off.when i walk longer distances,it gets worse.also i notice there is a visible vein at the region..and this isnt present on my other leg which is normal.why is that and what should i do?
|
Hello, The visible paining vein that you are seeing at the back of the leg and the intensity of pain which increases when you stand or walk for longer time indicate towards the possibility of varicose vein. Veins are the blood tubes that carry deoxygenated blood from various parts of our body to heart and lungs. If these veins become abnormally thick, twisted or tortuous, they are called varicose veins. Usually these happen in elderly people, but if there is some abnormality in the vein wall, you are obese, your routine requires you to stand for very long periods of time then younger people like you may suffer from it, too. To get relief from this, you need to wear compression stockings that are available in medical stores. Do lots of exercise. Elevate your legs while sleeping and if possible, when you are sitting. Try to avoid continuous standing periods. If you do not find relief in symptoms or then worsen, you should see a physician for physical examination. I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Best,

Hi I have this feeling/ sensation/ pressure in the middle of my back on my spine like someone is pressing a marble into one spot (for almost 6 months). It is most noticeable when I press my back up against a chair, lie down or curve my back. It is starting to become an annoyance, despite not being painful. Any explanations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
|
Hello, Thanks for posting this question in ChatDoctorLet me explain that the feeling you have described could be due to several reasons and our job will be to pinpoint the exact cause of such feelings and this will guide us for treatment. Such feelings can be due to various causes like spinal cord problem, compression in the spinal cord due to infections or even tumor. The best thing will be to be examined by a neurologist who will assess the exact neurological problem. I mean he will examine the back for any local pain, swelling etc., and he will do a detailed neurological assessment regarding the presence or absence of any neurological deficits. This will help us guide you if you need an MRI scan of the back or not. If both the neurological examination by a neurologist and MRI scan comes as normal, then you may benefit with physiotherapy or else you will have to undergo treatment as per the cause identified by these tests Hope this clarifies

Is there something that would cause severe and very random pains throughout the body? I frequently experience pain in random and isolated places, such as a single toe, my abdomen, or the right side of my chest. These occur for no apparent reason, and usually go away after a few hours. It is very frustrating because though I am in pain, there appears to be nothing wrong, so therefore nothing I can do about it.
|
Hi, Thanks for asking. If there are pains in multiple spots and severe, I can think of two causes1. Fibromyalgia2. Anemia/ weakness induced. Many a times' weakness can be interpreted as pain. You can check your hemoglobin, if it is normal, then meet your doctor for evaluation for fibromyalgia. If you provide me with more details, I can help you further. Any further queries, happy to help again.

I have skin colored itchy bumps on my elbow and my lower back. It itches like crazy. I notice them last spring and they took a long time to heal (months). I got them again this spring which is when I get my seasonal allergies. Once I start taking my allergy pills the itching went away and my rash cleared up. Now that I no longer have seasonal allergies and don t need to take my allery pill ( Loratadine 10 mg) the rash is back. I started to take the allergy pill again and it s helped a little with the itch but I still have the bumps and they still itch. They only time the bumps are red is when I m scratching like crazy. I ve tried hydrocortisone cream as well but it doesn t help. I ve also tried skinceuticals hydra balm as well and that helps for a little while with the itch. I live in New Mexico at it can be very dry but I use oil and lotions daily and my skin is not dry. The bumps are smooth to the touch and don t blister.

My 43 year old daughter was recently diagnosed by her dentist as having 2 right lower jaw tumors. She has had no symptoms. The Oral Surgeon told her these need to come out soon. He will also remove part of her jaw bone. My question is: are these types of tumors usually malignant? She will have an US of the Breast and a complete body scan prior to her surgery.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query, the tumor of photogenic are commonly benign but are aggressive like ameloblastoma. Other tumors like keratocystic photogenic tumor or ameloblastic fibrous can occur these are all benign. Malignant tumors like ameloblastic carcinoma, interosseous carcinoma are rare. Get a chest radiograph or PET CT done to rule out metastasis if it is a malignant tumor. Take biopsy and confirm the diagnosis. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.

two days back i have ultrasound of my upper abdomen and finding shows that i have many small stones in my gall bladder please advise what i should do i dont want to go for surgery is their any other reamedy for gall bladder stones, and also what food i may take, thanksregardsmoin-ul-haque
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. In most cases, treatment of gallstones is considered necessary only if you are having symptoms. Of the various conventional treatments that are available, surgical removal of the gallbladder is the most widely used. Some alternative treatments have also been found to be effective in alleviating the symptoms of troublesome gallstones. When deciding what course of action to take for symptomatic gallstones, doctors usually choose from among three main treatment options: Watchful waiting, nonsurgical therapy, and surgical removal of the gallbladder. Though a gallstone episode can be extremely painful or frightening, almost a third to half of all people who experience an attack never have a recurrence. In some cases, the stone dissolves or becomes dislodged and thereby resumes its "silence." Because the problem may solve itself without intervention, many doctors take a wait-and-see approach following the initial episode. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

Hello, I have been taking Cerazette for one month and I have forgotten to take the pill yesterday. I took it today together with todays pill and I havent had sex past seven days. I have been reading different answers on question how long you should have an extra protection (e.g. condom). Some say 48 hours, others 7 days, I hav even read a whole monht. What is the correct answer? Thank you
|
Hello misunderstand your concernCerazette is contraceptive pill. For better effect should be taken regularly on same time. According to your history, you just missed only One pill, and you took two pills together on next day. So in your case there is no requirement of extraprotection is needed in your case. Take the remaining pack regularly till the end. Take pill regularly every day by making habit. (put mobile reminder of specific time every day)Hope this may help you Best regards

### Question: Hello, I have been taking Cerazette for one month and I have forgotten to take the pill yesterday. I took it today together with todays pill and I havent had sex past seven days. I have been reading different answers on question how long you should have an extra protection (e.g. condom). Some say 48 hours, others 7 days, I hav even read a whole monht. What is the correct answer? Thank you
### Answer: Hello misunderstand your concernCerazette is contraceptive pill. For better effect should be taken regularly on same time. According to your history, you just missed only One pill, and you took two pills together on next day. So in your case there is no requirement of extraprotection is needed in your case. Take the remaining pack regularly till the end. Take pill regularly every day by making habit. (put mobile reminder of specific time every day)Hope this may help you Best regards

Hello thank you for writing us here. Pain in abdomen is because the uterus is coming back to its normal size. It would take almost 4 or 5 weeks. You can still take diclofenac for a week and day by day you'll be alright. There's nothing to be worried about.Best regards, Chat Doctor.

I have had extreme pain in both hips for several months now. The onset of this pain was sort of sudden. Now I am having some pains shooting in my shoulder joints and in my knees. i can tell that this is progressing rather quickly. My doctor is treating me for bursitis. I was on naproxin for a couple of weeks. It helped a little. I had to stop taking it due to side effects. The pain was back immediately. My question is "Do you think that I might need to seek out a specialist?" "Is this something attacking my skeletal system?" i am a white 69 year old female. My fear is winding up in a wheelchair.
|
Dear Madam, I value your concern, and the symptoms you describe with involvement of both hips knees shoulders, cannot be just bursitis, My main concern in your case would be to rule out inflammatory arthritis, and that can be done by few blood tests, for that you will have to consult a Rheumatologist. Do not worry, as your pains could be functional, but to be sure we need investigations, hope you value my concern, and get investigated. All the best, let god heal you.

I have intermittent suicidal tendencies, although there is no imminent threat of me killing myself. I go through long periods of being neutral, depressed and sometimes elated. I am 21 and I would maybe consider going to a doctor who has specific experience in working with people my age.
|
HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor I think, you have depression, and you should consult a psychiatrist. It is good that you could control your suicidal thoughts on your own, but in your case, you need proper dosing of antidepressant that would help to decrease such tendency. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks

Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint you have MALIGNED TEETH and you do not need to get it removed because as per your explanation your milk tooth which was over retained in the front region where you had double teeth has already fallen and the tooth that is remaining is a permanent tooth, and it can be very well re-aligned by Orthodontic treatment by using braces. I would suggest you to consult an ORTHODONTIST and get evaluated and treatment will be accomplished either using removable or fixed orthodontic appliance and the tooth will be aligned. Hope this information helps. If you find the answer helpful please write a positive review and click on found this answer helpful as a token of appreciation. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .

I have been having chest pains for close to 4 months. Ranging from mild to very painful, that they make me dizzy. I seem to be finding it harder to breath as well as like a empty feeling in my chest for a second every now and then when it happens. the pain also seems to go down my arms and in to my back and stomach at times. My G.P couldnt hear anything wrong. But i am still Unsure as I am only 20 within my weight band active but my father has had a stroke related to a faulty valve in his heart within the past year.
|
Hello, Thanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor ...* Brief Answer: your age and medical history mentioned is not a source of worry, follow-up chest tightness, may do an echocardiography to be sure.*Explanation: My opinion is that ischemic heart disease is an important condition that needs good plan of management first of all anti-ischemic medications such as antiplatelet and antihyperlipidemics are crucial. Then regular follow-ups with a cardiologist is a must to modify your treatment and see if any new findings in patients heart condition exist. Of course healthy diet with low salt and fat content and regular exercising do help in such condition. Avoiding stressful conditions and smoking is nonnegotiable.in your condition, an electrocardiogram and echocardiogram may be needed just to be sure but nothing serious is going on here, I suggest my patients the following :healthy diet and exercise is good for your heart. Family history is not enough to be overwhelmed about ischemia. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about other comorbidities and risk factors such as diabetes, smoking and obesity. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help, If not, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.

I am experiencing occasional pain in my right hand halfway between base of thumb and wrist. It appears a bit inflamed but not red or warm. I was playing with a toddler and he accidentally kicked the sore spot and pain was horrible for about a minute. It has been going on for about 2 weeks now, but not at any regular time. I workout daily in the gym and thought maybe I did something there, but now I m thinking perhaps there is fluid or something in there. The range of motion is normal for my thumb and does not hurt when I move it or touch it.
|
Hello First I will advise doing x-ray and rule out any unicortical fracture in your thumb/wrist. According to your history it looks that there is possibility of injury to ligament of metacarpal or flange joint. If you are having swelling and pain you can strap your finger to get proper rest to joint. And apply crêpe bandage for support and compression. Use ice packs to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain. Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you, For early healing you can take Tab Colin [it C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzymic plus]. If there is no relief them you may need to do MRI. 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

I am 46 yrs and have been a heavy smoke for over 26 yrs..I have COPD and a small 5mm left lung nodule which hasnt been checked in a few years due to lack of insurance. Lately having more trouble with my chest feeling tight , and sharp pains in both shoulders and collar bone area..my arms get tingly at times and neck get stiff...is this something to be concerned about or just signs that my COPD is getting worse...
|
Hi. I can understand your concern. Get a chest x-ray done to evaluate your lung nodule. Possibility of bronchitis is more in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It 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)Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have been diagnosed with herniated discs and spinal stenosis about 6months ago -- have had physical therapy and cortisone injections-- they work for while and then the pain is back. My neuro surgeon said not to come back until I am ready for surgery. How do I know when the time is right.

Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern. It is not a standard feature, but basically the neurosurgeons say that if pain does not go away in 6 weeks after using Steroid or Non steroid anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Hope this helps. Best regards

Hello, Roughly around three weeks ago i was tumbling in my front yard. Haven t done so in a while. Nothing seemed to bother me that day. I woke up with my back causing me so much pain.The Feeling was in the middle of the spine. Feels like It constantly needs to be popped. About a week later i start having horrible pains in my rib area. Right under my breast. So i finally go to the doctor the take xrays of my lungs to make sure its not a collapsed lung. Nothing found. I can t sleep at night. I find it more comfortable sleeping on the floor. And sometimes in the middle of the night i have so much pain in the back/rib area i feel the need to get up and vomit.The MRI on my spine is next..?
|
As you have not mentioned your age it is very difficult to plan the treatment because age is very important determinant as far as back pain is concerned. But from your narrative I think you are a young adult, and you are most probably suffering from disc prolapse, so you just have to take some painkiller with muscle relaxants like tab danger or tab osteopath twice daily after meals when your back pain is worse enough to disturb your work along with tab shall 500 mg once daily after meals with tab rant ac or tab carotid twice daily before taking meals. You can also use holdup gel or powergesic-plus gel for local application. It is also quite beneficial in relieving back pain and provide you some comfort. Apart from these you can also go for physiotherapy exercises after an expert opinion of physiotherapist. Also, you have to sleep on plain surface as you are doing because it is a good practice in case of back pain which is due to disc prolapse.

32yof, 51; hx of root canal/crown placement of right front tooth in 1999; now have palpable raised area between right nostril down to gums- beneath gums- not externally visible; tender to pressure/percussion; no fevers; throbbing pain/pain with pressure to tooth; abscess? cyst? tooth or sinus?
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Re-infection of the root canal treated tooth can be the cause for the swelling, tenderness and pain in the region leading to the abscess formation. I would advise you to visit your endodontist and get a radiograph done to see the status of the root canal treated tooth. If needed, carry on the re-treatment. If not periapical surgery can also help you. For the pain take ibuprofen tab (if you are not allergic to any medicine). Antibiotics may be required like amoxicillin 500 mg and metro lag 200 mg on prescription by your dentist. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.

Hi, I m a 22yr old male. I exercise pretty rugularly. I feel like I have a low fever. I have a white color on the back and mid part of my tongue and a salty taste in my mouth. I have been kinda thirsty and not too hungry the last couple of days. I was taking Keflex for sinus/ allergy trouble, which I ve had a lot of ever since I can remember. Oh, I have asthma and take an Albuterol inhaler . I also take Famotidine for acid reflux . A lot of problems, I know. I hope I have given enough info.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, according to the medical history presented by you, it seems you had an upper respiratory tract infection couple of days back, as you were on reflex. I would like to inform you that excessive thirst is due to Chat Doctor. Also, white color patches which are present over your tongue are due to inability to maintain your oral hygiene as you were down with fever and sore throat, kindly use a soft bristle brush to clean your tongue, do not apply excessive pressure. You can also use a mouth wash (twice/day), I would recommend you to

Basically I m wondering if my rapidly decaying teeth I was informed of 30+ yrs ago would have any connection to the myxoma (benign) that was discovered growing (and removed in 2014) in my left atrium. When it was confirmed I d had a minor stroke , ER Dr. said there was evidence of older ones as well but couldn t tell from how far back. I had absolutely no idea. It ts still doesn t seem real.

Hi.... Welcome to Chat Doctor. You have problem of decay tooth that may be because of poor oral hygiene... more prone to infection. Lack of saliva also lead to more decay tooth. Food lodgment or more sweet consumption also lead to this type of symptoms. Consult a dentist for oral examination and treatment plan. If tooth decay not treat than it progress and involve full tooth sometimes access or bony infection. Better to treat a decay tooth in initial stage. In decay tooth filling or act or extraction that one treatment plan...all treatment depend on tooth situation... I hope this will help you. Get well soon. Thank you. Chat Doctor.

I had bronchitis about 2-3 weeks ago. I took all the medicine; however, I still have a slight cough. Also I have been having what feels like heartburn all down my throat into my chest. Also I have been getting an occassional sharp pain in my chest and when trying to drink anything cold it does not go down easily.
|
Hi. I can understand your concern. HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can cause similar kind of chest pain. HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause central chest pain and nausea. Take proton pump inhibitors. But along with Chat Doctor. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Go for walk after meals. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. Lose weight if you are obeseDont worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

this is to certify that Mr. moosa ibrahim 64yrs us a case of (CAD )effort angina, TMT +ve, systemic hypertension, dyslipidemia. He underwent (CAG) on 9/6/2011 which revealed LMCA steno sis with two vassel disease. He is advised early (CABG) can u explain this is serious or normal and this short forms
|
First of all the abbreviations:CAD-coronary artery disease i.e. disease of hearts blood vessels TMT- treadmill test i.e. a test done on treadmill while the patient runs on it to study status of hearts circulation on exertionCAG-coronary angiography done to see blood vessels of heart and their patency CABG- coronary artery bypass grafting; a procedure done to bypass a block in hearts vessels so that it continues to get blood supply.YMCA- left main coronary artery The test results show that the patient has angina on exertion due to two vessel disease that is two of the hearts vessels are blocked. As was suggested by his physician the patient needs to undergo CABG. The patient also has hypertension and dyslipidemia i.e. poor lipid profile both of which are independent risk factors for CAD. I would suggest consulting cardiologist to discuss the Chat Doctor. Physical exertion might also need to be restricted for some time to not provoke angina. Hope the above answer helped you. If you have anything more to ask I would be pleased to help.

I ve been getting pain in my feet for about 4 months (can t walk or stand for more than about half an hour), but it s got worse over the past couple of weeks and has now spread to my legs. It s like the muscles are almost cramped, but not quite. The only medication I m on is cerazette, and have been for about 9 months now.
|
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to muscle cramps. I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest using magnesium supplement for muscle relaxation. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.

I have a protruding abdomen which has been getting bigger with the passing years. I am a 63 year old female and moderately active, I dont drink but I do look like I am 9 months pregnant. My weight has not increased but the size of my abdomen has. I have had several abdominal surgeries and have had a mesh inserted under my navel. I would really like to know what is causing this. There is a history of colon cancer in my family. Would this cause this increase in size?
|
HI, Thank for choosing ChatDoctorFor sure this not a colon cancer even if you have colon cancer family history, the protuberance of belly is kind of obesity and this is due to genetic defect (Mutation of specific gene), only thing you can do right now just to control it, reduce the high calorie diet do regular exercise under guidance of physiotherapist or instructor, this may help you a little, Have good day.

This examination was performed after detecting architectural distortion at the left breast in a previous mammogram dated February 26, about 2 weeks ago. The current examination revealed no mass lesion or cyst at either breast in both T1 and fast T2 pulse sequences. The body coil axillary views revealed no significant lymphadenopathy at either side. The post IV contrast injection series show diffuse glandular enhancement estimated to be about 60% as the examination is performed during the last week of menstrual period. Focal intense enhancing spot is seen at the medial aspect of the left breast lower down at the junction of the anterior and middle thirds. The time intensity kinetic curve over this spot shows dye accumulation and delayed rapid washout segment. Impression: Bilateral fibroadenosis with suspicious area at the left breast medial aspect lower down at the junction between the anterior and middle thirds,BIRADAS 4. could You dr explain to me this report .....???
|
Hi there, It seems MRI is picking up an abnormality which needs further evaluation. The report BIRDS 4 means there is some probability of being malignant (range from 3% to 94%) which literally means that biopsy has to be done. Most probably your doctor will recommend a biopsy by needle to look into it. Take care

Two years ago after receiving a tooth filling, my mother developed very strange symptoms. Let me start by saying my mother has fibromyalgia, so I believe the the symptoms are nerve related. She continually secretes a salty/foamy fluid from between her teeth and gums. Secreting the fluid is painful and burns. If she swallows it, it makes her sick to her stomach, so she has to spits it out all day long. She is taking pain meds to control the pain, and has tried several antibiotics but nothing seems to work and no doctors or dentists seem to be able to accurately diagnose or treat it. She is losing weight rapidly because it is difficult an unpleasant to eat. Have you ever heard of a similar situation?
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of painful secrete salty fluid between the teeth and gums which seems to be due to inflamed gums and gum infection. If you could be possible you have symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease. This is not so threatening situation, but it could progress to a more severe infection if you do not get it treated. I would suggest you to visit dentist once and get complete examination done and start treatment after thorough examination. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Chat Doctor. Avoid intake of sharp and fried food. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

I noticed about a month ago that my 8 yr old daughter had what looked like a small canker sore right above the front tooth on the left side. It was bothering her at the time and was red around the area. I didnt give it much thought at the time because I really thought it was just a canker sore. She has been to her orthodontist twice since I noticed it to get things started for her braces (she only has spacers at this time). The orthodontist didnt say anything about it at either visit. I noticed last night that it is still there. I decided I would feel it and it is hard and spiky feeling. It doesnt seem to bother her at all, but she acted like it hurt a little when I touched it. Do you have any idea what it might be?
|
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Canker sore does not stay for so long, it takes maximum 7-14 days to heal. The type of lesion you are mentioning, it can be a sinus opening, as it is present above the tooth in the gums. It is condition, which occur when a tooth is infected and there is an abscess formation in the apex of the tooth, and when the pus starts coming out it forms a sinus opening. You should visit your dentist and get an x-ray done of that tooth as it will show the infection. Hope it will help you.

Hi, i am 28 years old female.... I am suffering from Polycystic ovarian Syndrome & bulky uterus....My thyroid level (TSH) now come down to 3.18 (from 7.2).. we are trying for a baby... but my periods are irregular.....(like last period i got on 4th July) till now i have not got my periods. My doctor suggested me to take Lupigest 200 orally for 5 days... Please let me know whether it will help me to regularise my monthly cycle... (I am since having this problem since from last 1 year)
|
Hi, It is good that your TSH levels are within normal limits. As part of the investigation, you should also get other hormone levels checked, glucose tolerance test performed and tubal patency tested. Lupines 200 will help you to attain your menstruation for this cycle. For regularization of cycles and regular ovulation to help you to conceive, you need specific treatment that is possible after complete evaluation. Please maintain a healthy weight, do some regular exercise and take a healthy diet. Hope this helps.

I am having some whitespots and some red bumps on my tongue . I used to smoke 10 cigars per day.Also I am having a small lump at the back of my lower right back just behind the spine. and also having some white things on my lower and upper lips . Whether this might be oral cancer? Please clarify....
|
I think you should consult otolaryngologies to have biopsy report done and i don't thing that the lump at back as u describe is a caves of cancer unless u have severe backache due to spine metastasis, Having said smoking history u should meet expert doctor for further evaluation if your history is 1-2 months only(no long term history)

Hi my father had a neck Doppler done and was told he has a blocked artery and will be having surgery on Wednesday, in the meantime he has been put on plavix and is experiencing severe back and hip pain which he has never had in the past. Could it be the plavix causing his pain?
|
Cannot say in his particular case without an exam. It is at least conceivable (but not very likely at all) that the increased bleeding associated with Plavix causes some blood to accumulate in or around the spine irritating or compressing the spine or nerves. This is an acute serious condition needing immediate attention. An MRI would show it, but a regular CT probably would NOT.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I don't know if for sure this is a boil or a swollen lymph node in response to a wound or infection that you have on the lower limbs. If you have no wound, then this is most likely a boil. You seem to have pyoderma in groin area. It is a bacterial infection caused by staphylococci. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and investigations. Antibiotics like definite and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Immunoboosters may be taken to improve immunity. Hygiene should be improved to prevent relapse. Detail bath may be taken to improve hygiene. I think you might get good result. Thank you.

I was in the emergency room with severe sudden back pain. I was given Toridol and an Xray. The results will be reviewed by the Radiologist on Monday. I was given Percocet as well. Neither medications have helped with the pain. The ER Doctor said it looks to be lipping in my spine. What will the course of action be should this be the result?
|
Thanks for writing to us. Sudden onset back pain may be due to disc rupture. Lipping of the vertebral body indicates degenerative changes and called osteophyte formation. X-rays not of not much help in disc prolapse, and you may need to get MRI spine to diagnose the problem. Please consult a spine specialist and get thorough exam. It is important to know the pain pattern, any leg pain, previous episode if any. Till that period continue percent with muscle relaxant and physical therapy if possible. Take some rest which is crucial. Thanks.

Went from no panic attacks for 28 years since I was born to three in the last 2 months. I stopped smoking 9 months ago but have started Hookah Pipe Smoking . It seems to happen when I feel my heart beat when I smoke . Is it a trigger for my panic attack and is it normal to get a higher heart rate 100 to 129 bpm when smoking? Thanks
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. Your symptoms seem to be indicative of panic attacks and smoking can indeed trigger such attacks. It is definitely not normal to have a such a high heart rate when smoking. Please consult a psychiatrist for further evaluation and therapy - both for your panic attacks and for help in quitting smoking. There are effective treatment options - in the form of medication or counselling / psychotherapy which will help you overcome your problems. Wish you all the best. -

my mum has pancreeatic cancer for the last year she was brining up blood last night was taken in to hospital is in side room drs think that it might be her meds that have caused her to bring up blood i think its the next stage of her cancer can u help
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your mothers situation and problem. Cancer Chat Doctor. Another possibility is worsening of pancreatic tumor which is now involving stomach and cause blood vessel erosion and hematemesis. So better to get done CT scan of abdomen and upper GIs copy to rule out above-mentioned causes. First diagnose herself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.

Several times a day I feel lousy (a general yucky feeling). This has been going on for several months. I went through radiation and chemo two years ago. I had radiation in upper right lobe of lung as well as several lymph nodes near the lung and one at base of neck on right side. All pet-scans since (there have been several) have been negative - no reucrriing cancer; everything remains in remission. I just had a colonoscopy and and an upper endoscopy . I now have acid reflux. I am taking omeprazole (20 mg), levothroxine (175 mcg), and trilipix (135 mg). I also take Metimucil for additional fiber. The general yucky feeling only started about four/five months ago. I was on cisplatin, carboplatin, and aliminta plus Tarceva for 16 months. I ve been off Tarceva for about a year. My last blood test showed a wbc count of 12.6. Any ideas why I feel this way at times during the day. I ve already had two episodes today - one last about 2 minutes the other about 30 seconds. Any ideas? I m having more tests done over the next couple of weeks.
|
Hi! Thanks for the query. The nauseating feeling is unrelated to your cancer. It is most likely the residual effect of chemotherapy. If your latest reports also show no evidence of cancer, you can rest assured. Ondansetron thrice a day might help.

My wife has a severe depression. Her doctor put her on Latuda and she experienced slurred speech and mouth/teeth chattering. The Latuda was discontinued but she is also on Wellbutrin which will be discontinued tomorrow. The mouth/teeth chattering is wearing her down. This has been going on for the past three days. Going to emergency is not in the cards as it is holiday time and all that will happen is being put in an emergency room with an iv doped up until Tuesday. By chattering; the mouth is opening and closing as if she is shivering. Eating is almost impossible. She is able to drink. It appears that rivitol helps but only short time.
|
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Latuda is duration, and it is definitely not an anti-depressant. Probably your wives' diagnosis is either psychosis or bipolar depression. The side effect that you have reported is an extrapyramidal side effect and this will require either shenanigan or Pakistan to improve. This is reversible and will take some 1-2 days to recover. There is no emergency, if she is troubled take her to ER and one shot of Shenanigan 25 mg IM will settle her down. Or else visit your psychiatrist at the earliest possible time. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link:bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.

Last month my dentist put in a crown, and since I have tasted and felt like there was dental cement stuck to the back of my tongue and my lips on that side of my face go numb feeling as if the novacaine is wearing off. Do I have nerve damage?
|
Hello, I went through your query. There might be bit of cement stuck below your crown. You can go back to your dentist to get it removed easily. For the numbness of your lip, it is unlikely that you have a nerve damage, because nerve damage usually occurs after any kind of surgeries in the mouth. One possibility is Nickel allergy from the crown(if your crown is made of metal alloy), which usually can cause tingling sensation of tongue or lips. In any case, it is better to visit back your dentist to correct it. Hope you have benefited from the answer.

hi doctors.. last dec.4 i had may medical examination the result of my sgpt was 132.. my doctor gave a godex 3x day, she said that i would lower my sgpt. after a week i had taken again my medical exam but the result of my sgpt goes higher it is now 489. should it be alarming the continues rise of my sgpt in spite of the medication and diet? is there any effect or symptoms if u have a higher sgpt and does it mean that i have a hepatitis because of my sgpt?
|
Dear sir, Elevated Sept can because by hepatitis of any kind, biliary diseases, diabetes, some medicines and other liver damage. 489 is pretty high and this definitely means something. You don't need to have symptoms during the early stage of disease. You can feel tired, have pain in right side of abdomen, nausea and other non-specific symptoms. Furthermore, you need to do liver US or CT to find is it just fatty liver or some more serious disorder. Also, you need to check viral markers and change you are lifestyle, avoid food and Chat Doctor. Besides repeat your enzymes tests constantly to see the dynamic of it. Wish you good health.

|
Hey, With high sugars and high BP at your age the medicine of choice is ARB(telmisartan- 40 mg once daily). But you have to first get your kidney function done. If the S. Creatinine is ok, you can safely start on this medication. Secondly you have to stop worrying as anxiety will also raise your BP. Thanks Chat Doctor.

Im 20 years old and 2 years ago i had my little girl.. i also had severe pre-eclampsia, since then i have sufferd with pain in my chest in the heart area.. every now and then (sevral times a day) i have had an ecg, all came back clear and also tryed tablets to see if it was to do with indegestion, they didnt do anything but mabie made it abit worse. The docters have given up on me abit but im realy worried. Dont know what the next step is.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about heart diseases because your frequent ECG s are normal. In my opinion, your allergy symptoms are related to stress and anxiety. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi I have issues with chronic hives , hairloss , joint pain, dizziness, nausea, bloating & chronic heartburn - initially I tested positive for lupus . I had H-pylori about 4 or 5yrs ago - how lon will it remain positive in blood tests. I ha all my levels retested yesturday as I just had a flare up of hives etc with constant heartburn, bloating, nausea, & I ve vomited & had random diarrohea a few times over the last few wks -the pain has been so bad I almost went to hospital as the chest pain was also radiating into my shoulders & up my throat & I couldn t breathe deeply. Tests results came back as lupus not being active but positive for H-pylori...not sure if this is a positive as it was a blood test & I was treated for this 4-5yrs ago? Could this all be just caused by Helicobacter & not lupus at all???? Which tests should I be now asking for ?
|
you should probably undergo endoscopy and test for h pylori in the sample.

i have a red itchy rash that comes and goes that s not on a regular basis but it appears on my arms, legs, feet , and hands. I went to the school nurse a few times and they said it looks like contact dermatitis from washing my hands, but i don t wash my legs too. There isn t really any changes in my soaps or lotions anything like that either. I don t know what to do because if i go to the doctors office it is not always on my body.
|
Hi, From the description you have given it seems more like urticaria than contact dermatitis. In most of the cases, urticaria has no underlying cause. However, worm infestation, particular food intake, foods with preservative like jams pickle and sauce, medicines, infections can cause urticaria. To treat the same, you might require a course of oral anti-allergic like fexofenadine or cetirizine for a couple of weeks. You can also apply calamine to soothe rashes. Hope that answers your query. Take care.

I work out and life weights recently Ive had a really bad pain in my right arm along the ulna, one of the muscles in the area seems to be a little bigger than the same area on my left. I was wondering if the pain is coming from a pinched nerve there, the pain can go down into my palm but never travels up. thanks you
|
Hello, You lift the weight. Its more possibilities of there is muscle injury or strain or ligament sprain with nerve stretch. Improper weight lifting causes arm pain. And your right hand is looking slight heavier than left, so it may be swelling due to strain or sprain. When ever you push the affected area the pain goes down it means nerve is also affected. But the other causes are rotator muscle injury, it occurs when over head weight lifts as bench presses, shoulder presses etc. in this case the pain radiates up to elbow. Other reason is torn of rotator cuff, patellar tendonitis, back sprains and strains, herniated disc. Do some stretching before weight lifting. For the swelling reduction take painkillers like ibuprofen and naproxen. Apply hot and cold fomentation. Although you don't get the relief get MRI and consult the or tho. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I ve been having a tough year and a half... I had pneumonia in February last year(2013) where I was hospitalised. I won t get into details of what happened there but I started experiencing chest pain when I was discharged. I went to my gp who didn t believe me and after a few weeks said to my face you re lying . I didn t go back. In April we did two very fast moves (in three days, and the second move was to a different country) and I was given a new gp. He was more willing to help me but was stuck as in he couldn t figure out what was wrong with me. We tried a lot of different painkillers, a lot of them knocked me out for a few hours and then I was still in the same amount of pain. Months passed and the pain increased. My doctor put me down as chronic in May. I went home to visit my family in my home country during the summer where I got even worse and ended up going to the doctor I saw before moving to live with my husband. He diagnosed me with Tietze s Syndrome and started me on Prednisolone 40 mg that I were to decrease every week by ten mg until I was down to zero. It worked like a miracle and I was feeling so much better! I went back home and informed my gp of what happened and he accepted the diagnose but kept calling it costochondritis instead, I realised later that there wasn t that much of a difference in between the diagnoses, but kept me on the treatment I was on. Then catastrophe struck (in my opinion) and I was up all night vomiting. An ambulance was called and the crew gave me morphine to deal with the pain. At this point I was crying almost nonstop and kept speaking my first language rather than English. My pain didn t decrease so they gave me another dose, then another s in the bus as we were heading to the hospital and then another one when I was taken in to hospital. The doctors there put me nil on mouth for 24 hours. We (my husband and I) asked for a translator but was not provided one. The next day in hospital I passed out from the pain and when I came to a staff member, I don t know if he was nurse or otherwise, was shouting at me for not answering when he called and pressed on my chest. I was screaming in pain and when a doctor finally came she eventually put me back on Prednisolone. But 1mg. The third day in the afternoon I had been moved for the third time and I had had enough. So I put my foot down and demanded that they provide me of the translator that I had asked for when I came in, phone my mother and phone my doctor in my home country. They replied by discharging me thirty minutes later and put me back on the dose of Prednisolone that I had been on when I went in along with some extra painkillers. It didn t take a week for me to realise that the effect of my treatment wasn t the same as when I had initially been given it. It took a few months before things got kick started for me and I was referred on to the pain clinic. Then Christmas came and I had a mental breakdown due to social events that I d rather not go through and I spent the entire Christmas holidays and New Years unable to deal with more than three people in a room before having a fast oncoming panic attack. The pain clinic decided to give me injections which I received only a month and a half after seeing the consultant. I was now in March of this year (2014). The treatment s effect was almost instantaneous and I was able to get out of bed on my own for the first time in over 6 months. We re now in May and I ve been granted a second treatment but have to wait until September for it. I have had a few bad days since the treatment, instead of constantly bad days which is good in my opinion, and unfortunately due to a hospital visit two weeks ago I ve had near constant high pain again. The hospital visit was due to an asthma attack which got my costochondritis to flare up again. I was thankfully discharged the same day and was asked to take it easy. A week ago on Monday my husband and I were asked to move out which is not only causing a lot of stress but also a lot of anxiety and I have to fight a lot so I don t fall apart every day but I don t have a lot of strength left. What I would want to do is to get back to work, be able to have some kind of sex life without having to be unable to do anything for the next three consecutive days, and get back to the weight I was before this all began. Are these things possible to get back to again and is it possible to have any kind of idea of how long it would take?

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.
### Question: I ve been having a tough year and a half... I had pneumonia in February last year(2013) where I was hospitalised. I won t get into details of what happened there but I started experiencing chest pain when I was discharged. I went to my gp who didn t believe me and after a few weeks said to my face you re lying . I didn t go back. In April we did two very fast moves (in three days, and the second move was to a different country) and I was given a new gp. He was more willing to help me but was stuck as in he couldn t figure out what was wrong with me. We tried a lot of different painkillers, a lot of them knocked me out for a few hours and then I was still in the same amount of pain. Months passed and the pain increased. My doctor put me down as chronic in May. I went home to visit my family in my home country during the summer where I got even worse and ended up going to the doctor I saw before moving to live with my husband. He diagnosed me with Tietze s Syndrome and started me on Prednisolone 40 mg that I were to decrease every week by ten mg until I was down to zero. It worked like a miracle and I was feeling so much better! I went back home and informed my gp of what happened and he accepted the diagnose but kept calling it costochondritis instead, I realised later that there wasn t that much of a difference in between the diagnoses, but kept me on the treatment I was on. Then catastrophe struck (in my opinion) and I was up all night vomiting. An ambulance was called and the crew gave me morphine to deal with the pain. At this point I was crying almost nonstop and kept speaking my first language rather than English. My pain didn t decrease so they gave me another dose, then another s in the bus as we were heading to the hospital and then another one when I was taken in to hospital. The doctors there put me nil on mouth for 24 hours. We (my husband and I) asked for a translator but was not provided one. The next day in hospital I passed out from the pain and when I came to a staff member, I don t know if he was nurse or otherwise, was shouting at me for not answering when he called and pressed on my chest. I was screaming in pain and when a doctor finally came she eventually put me back on Prednisolone. But 1mg. The third day in the afternoon I had been moved for the third time and I had had enough.

My stomach has been harting since i got home and i thought it just might have been the dairy that i ate last night or the yogurt but then i started throuing up survierly and i just literly trough up like 10 times in a row and it was like water and spit and i took medasin and that helped but like i said i through up again but when i did my stomach was not hurting at all i just want to know what it might be and my friend thinks it might be food poisining and she also has a case of stomach problems but she dosent no what it is she is going to a gi spechialist but she dosent through up like i do.
|
Hello. Thank you for your question. Based on your description, it is very possible that your stomach pain was due to food poisoning. I am glad that your symptoms disappeared after you vomited. That is very common. As long as your symptoms do not come back, you do not need to worry.

Hope you can help I am beyond frustrated. Have had what s been described as me as a hive like rash on various parts of my body for over two months now. Prednisones seems to keep gone or at bay depending on how much I still have in my system of the prednisone. Been to four different doctors. First 2? There s did scratch and test bloodwork. - found high allergies scratche asked came back negative. Allergy specialist did painful allergy test found large list of allergies. Inside and outside. He put me on enough Zrtec, Alegra and Zantec to kill a zombie---no help there. Allergist is also offering allergy shots, but said they won t kick in for 2 months:(!! What my gut is telling me what it feels like that whatever is causing the rash is staying under my skin . I have been living in the same home for over 30 years and never ever had any kind of rash (other than poison ivy) and that went away directly with prednisone. I haven t changed any of my eating habits environment I have tried eliminating foods and household stuff - not eating the foods of exposing myself in the house to possible allergens My gut is feeling us something is MISSING. Every doctor wants to blame it on allergies. I have NEVER had a rash/hive allergy in my entire life. I m trying to get into see a dermatologist. Most dermatologist take up to two months to get into see---even with the doctors referral I m looking at:( I hope you can help this pretty much making my life unbearable

Rash on various parts of body it seems you have no allergy but a skin disease naming scabies. If I have to treat such a patient i will, advice lotion permethrin 6% to be applied on body from chin to feet before sleep daily forgive days, tab ivermectin 12 mg stat 12 mg after 14 days, tab methyl twice a day, wear clothes after ironing and beds should be daily spread in sunlight. Check other family members. Rule of thumb is to apply the lotion, all family members at one time.

Hi there ! I just got a root canal done on my one front tooth about 2 weeks ago, ive been trying to lower the amount of times I smoke because I was a heavy smoker before the treatment and I figured it would be bad for it, but ive noticed the tooth begin to go darker & im now starting to feel a slight sensitivity to cold & im wondering if its maybe from the smoking ?
|
Well there is no doubt that smoking has role on it but my concerns that if you got your root canal treated, you will not be able to sense any kind of pain, A tooth that has had a root canal can fail, but the symptoms will be pressure or throbbing. It could be another tooth beside this tooth. P.S.smoking can lead to serious diseases,

After I pee and wipe there is a brownish color on the toilet paper. My menstrual cycle ended on Friday. Could this have something to do with my period? I haven t felt good. My lower back is hurting as well as my head. Could this have something to with endometriosis or PCOS? Thanks for your help!

Hi, this symptom may present in endometriosis or PCs but only with this symptom we can't diagnose as endometriosis or PCs. The chance of endometriosis or PCs with the presenting symptom is very minimal. So no need to worry. You can take analgesic and if this won't help you then consult your gynecologist once for examination. Regards

i am 28 yeals old , female with total cholesterol 270 mg/dl , LDL 200 mg/dl , HDL 34 mg/dl , serum TGS 190 mg/dl . i have discovered this 6 months ago . now the total is up to 300 , LDL 250 , HDL 40 , TGS 190 . i want to get pregnant then i will take the drugs . But, would these results affect the fetus ? or should i postpone pregnancy and take the drugs to lower it first ?

Hello, I hope I can help you today. The common medications which are used to lower cholesterol, called statins, are not safe to use during pregnancy. For one, cholesterol levels actually normally rise during pregnancy, because cholesterol is used to make a lot of the hormones and developing tissues, such as the brain, in the fetus. For that reason, many medical professionals do not recommend any woman of reproductive age to start using cholesterol-lowering medication. The other reason is that the chance at your age of your actually having a heart attack or stroke just from high cholesterol is still extremely low. At your age, the likelihood of your having problems conceiving are relatively low and the best way to have a healthy pregnancy is to be healthy before you get pregnant. So I recommend following your doctors instructions regarding cholesterol-lowering medication, and delaying pregnancy until your cholesterol is under better control. In addition to medications there may be diet and exercise recommendations that your doctor may have which will put you in a better state of health then you are right now. So in summary, high cholesterol does not affect the fetus in any negative way, and the body actually makes more cholesterol during pregnancy to provide the fetus with nutrition. However, cholesterol-lowering medication can actually harm the fetus by decreasing cholesterol levels to the point where the proper development of the fetus could be compromised. So in order to both keep the baby safe and improve your health I would recommend delaying pregnancy until after you've worked with your primary physician in order to lower your cholesterol and get your body into a healthier state to prepare for pregnancy. You should be off cholesterol-lowering medication at the time you are trying to conceive. In the long run, missing high cholesterol medication for about a year especially at your young age and if you do not have any other cardiac risk factors, will not do harm to you. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes,

I had laparoscopic appendectomy (For appendicitis) back in the first week of October 2013, I had a speedy recovery but sometimes I get pains exactly where my appendix used to be. This only ever happens when I get a cold or get the flu, It s happened twice since October, whenever I get ill, it feels like the appendix stub or where it was cut off, still hurts. It s not a huge pain, but it s a sharp pain that is constant and noticeable. When the cold first came on 2 or 3 days ago, I also had a horrible central abdomen pain for about 30 minutes that then died down, exactly like the central abdomen pain I had when I got appendicitis and it shifted over to the right, although the first time that central pain lasted all night. Is it something to worry about?
|
If there is no fever associated with the cold and cough, and the cough is non-productive(no sputum comes) then you could use a cough syrup such as Ben Chat Doctor. Although if you feel the cold is severe, buy a combination of paracetamol 500 mg witChatDoctor.

hi i have a small pimple like appearance on the side of shaft of my penis...i have indulged in masturbation...i am right now at the age of 20...from past 5 yrs i continued only masturbation without any sexual contact....please can you tell me the treatment for my pimple....reply soon doctor...i am very afraid of it.......is it harmful..........please do reply
|
Hi, If you had no sexual contact, there is nothing to be worried about, no fear for STDS. However, if you had oral sex, then, should be tested for warts or herpes infection. Next, you are saying to keep masturbating. If you are also uncircumcised, it could be related to local infection. So, I'd suggest to :- consult a urologist to get circumcised- stop masturbating until improvement- get your genital well cleanedTake care! Chat Doctor.

hi, I m a physiotherapist treating a patient for lower back pain when running. He recently found out he has a thornwaldt cyst. He also presents with sudden large twitching of his body which I predict it originates from his lower Tx spine as that is where the greatest contraction of the muscle occurs- been occuring for about a year and only occurs when he is relaxed. his back pain is present for about 3years

Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history. As mentioned, the patient is having a low back pain, first needs to undergo an MRI as it will provide the insight to the soft tissue injuries. Also, by doing TENS therapy and ultrasound the pain can be under control. Post that doing regular core stability, pelvic floor and spine strengthening exercises will put a weightage to the recovery of the patient. Performing regular breathing exercises will help to improve the capacity of lungs, and also it will help to improve the cellular physiology of the muscles. As you need to figure out what is the pathomechanics of the spine for this patient, usually pain in the back can be of varieties of possibilities and needs to be ruled out before implementation of the exercises. With the grace of god I wish for good recovery.

Can youplease guide me on this and what must i do. i have been having irregular periods often, for past 7 months, i have been having it regularly on the right date. I am weighing 90kgs

Hi Piriyadarshini, The follicle reduced in its size because of the rupture. There is no other way that it reduces in size. You need to try again in the next menstrual cycle for a successful conception. Meanwhile, you need to decrease your weight. This is the first goal in infertility treatment. Once you reduce your weight, your hormones will come to balance, you will have regular menstrual cycles, and it will be easy for you to conceive. Keep in regular touch with your treating doctor. All the best.

Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Hyperthermia or hypothermia both can cause DIC.2. Increased D-dimer means a possibility of DIC requires to be evaluated. 3. Elevated WBC count could suggest infection. Get a blood culture to rule out sepsis. Meet your doctor at the earliest. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

Fatty liver is an indication of liver disorder in an early reversible stage....it is associated with elevated enzymes when complicated by infection of liver-HEPATITIS.....THE DIETARY MEASURES WHICH YOU ARE FOLLOWING CURRENTLY UNTO TO MARK.ALSO THERE SHOULD BE COMPLETE CESSATION OF ALCOHOL INTAKE IF ANY...YOU NEED TO GET TESTED FOR bag a liver infectious antigen +ultrasound of the liver to narrow the diagnosis. Consult an expert hematologist. Thank you
