My boyfriend has had and still continues to have middle chest pain. He was told in the past by his doctor that it was an injury or a pulled muscle that resides there. He has also had this pain so bad that he was brought to the heart institute and he had a stress test, ekg and an echo. They all came back normal. What is this muscle called and why does it still bother him.

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.*middle chest pain has so much differential diagnosis apart from muscle ( name intercostal) pain as Gastritis, Costco Chat Doctor. *For definite comments I strongly recommend consulting with all details of pain as intensity, type, severity, frequency, duration ; associated with heart burn, abdominal burning, cramps; any breathing difficulty; work pattern;tobacco consumption;taking any

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I woke up with a severe headache, shortly thereafter I got a seering pain just below my left shoulder blade which is now permeating to an area inside my left ribcage.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sudden onset left chest pain, shoulder pain and headache should always be evaluated for hypertension and other heart diseases. So immediately consult Cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). You may need antihypertensive and other cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. If all these reports are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar symptoms. So take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. 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.

I have a very serious problem about perception. I cannot focus my eyes for long on the face of whoever I am talking to. I always feel very concious of where my eyes focus but i really just can t control it. Years ago I had a public breakdown wherein I just let all my feelings out, I was angry because I am suspected of being a thief. My officemate superior made hints, remarks although not directly so as excuse himself I m sure that it made me uneasy, annoyed and depressed. I just go along usually by engaging on his insensitive remarks. By then, it became constant and he always try to trap me and then observe my reaction. As a result I became paranoid. He cannot target others because they are like him and I am only a civilian employee. Prior to my breakdown I was diagnosed with hormonal imbalance due to goiter. I feel when I talk to another as I try to avoid it so that I will not be suspected, my eyes still wander on material things like cellphone. I now have developed fixation about these things, which is due to overly being sensitive to gossiping and observation by others. My eyes are doing the opposite, my brain says don t look. My other officemates know that I didn t do anything but doubt is always there given the fact of what they have observed about me. Am I suffering my anxiety? With OCD? paranoia? I was no like this before... help me pls.. I just want to die
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely think you are overly worried about this. A sort of obsession for the time being. But I think OCD cannot be the problem. You are also not paranoid. Anxiety, of course, is part of obsession. Everyone is obsessed with something somehow. Some people check switches again and again. Some make sure that their looks are perfect. Some sees that their home is in order. Etc. Such obsessions are of positive nature. In your case, your obsession can be treated as positive unless it is not interfering with your work or life severely. If it affects your work or normal life 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, About ten years ago I had a biopsy on my breast. Praise the Lord it was fine. Today my breast has been stinging a bit around the scar. I cant feel anything but it is uncomfortable. I get really nervous because I have a friend going thru BC right now.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Stinging and tingling around a scar is not a confirmatory sign of cancer. It surely raises a concern since you have had a biopsy in exactly the same region ten years back. Breast cancer awareness has increased over the years, and it is important to get a screening test done for your breast. It is most likely that you might not have any disease, but it is important to get a screening test done to confirm it. Please consult a cancer screening clinic near you and get a screening mammography and breast ultrasound done at the earliest. While a screening mammography picks up suspicious areas, the breast ultrasound will tell you about the area under the scar and if there is any concern or changes below the skin that might require more detailed investigation. You can also check for any lumps or lymph node swellings in your armpits and bring it to the notice of your doctor. Please do not worry.

Ive had a fever, as high as almost 102, with extreme fatigue, no appetite, and alternating sweats and feeling cold. Today is the 3rd day, and I am feeling a bit better. I called my doctor and she said its probably just a virus, but the fever means infection. My doctor just thinks Im too anxious, but since I havent had a fever in decades, I feel pretty worried. Are these just symptoms of some common virus thats going around? I have no respiratory symptoms at all.
|
Fever can indicate infection with either viruses or bacteria. Your other symptoms are nonspecific. Without any other specifics, such as a sore throat, productive cough, etc., the condition is most often ascribed to a virus. There are always lots of viruses going around and no way (or particular reason) to identify them. Most of these viral syn Chat Doctor. There is no need to be concerned unless the symptoms persist after that time frame or more specific symptoms start to manifest. You are already feeling better, so your doctor is most likely correct. It's just a virus and should resolve shortly. However, if you continue to have fevers past a week or so, or more specific symptoms develop, ask your doctor again about it. Hope this helps.

I just had an xray and the result stated that i have \"fibrocalcific densities, right lung\". Could you please enlighten me if this finding is \"serious\" (serious in which i have to go medication). Also, how can a person get such fibrocalcific density? Hoping for your response, thank you.
|
Thanks for your question I completely understand your question fire calcific densities is a mixture of fibrosis and calcification which appears in old healed lesions when an old infective lesion like tuberculosis or pneumonia sometimes heals or is completely treated it sometimes heals by fibrosis and calcification as in any other organ healing takes place by fibrosis so no need to worry you have to consult a pulmonologist regarding this thanks feel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health

Hello, Swelling is due to injury or edema. The term edema means swelling due to the accumulation of excess fluid. It is particularly common in the lower leg, ankles, and feet. But you should talk to a physician and ascertain the cause and find a solution. Do not have any self treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. V. Anand, Psychologist

I have been prescribed Cilacar 10mg for BP after dinner 1 tab. . I have excessive urination in the night. - whether this drug is safe for longer continuation ? - As i am over wight by 10 kg, and if I reduce weight , what would be effect on medication ? Thanks.
|
Hi, Yes, it may cause excessive urination. Clear (cilnidipine) is a calcium channel blocker commonly prescribed for the management of high blood pressure. Its common side effects include low blood pressure, fast heart beats, palpitations, headache, flushing, swelling of the ankles/feet, and constipation. It may also decrease the contraction of urinary bladder causing urinary retention and that can lead to overflow incontinence. However, other causes of excessive urination like urinary tract infection or diabetes must be ruled out. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My son is 1 year 3 months old. He has been catching cough n cold frequenty (about twice every month), sometimes accompanied by fever. This has been happening for the past three months, since the weather has started changing. Up recently he was prescribed flucold n crocin. We saw a new doctor n he prescribed asthalin inhaler one puff thrice a day. Is it safe n necessary? Is asthalin addictive? Would he need to continue using it all the time?

Hi, Please do not use Stalin in every case of cough and cold. It is used primarily for the treatment of asthma and other asthma like illnesses. That too we use it for short duration and if some specific findings in chest are present. Yes, Stalin use produces side effects. You please stop it and consult a good pediatrician. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am taking rigevidon, and have heard that by starting a new pack after finishing the previous one you can delay your period. I have just begun The New pack of pills, but have now been told not to do this as it will mess up my system and make me more prone to pregnancy. Is this true? Will I still be protected during the time I should have my period? Thanks
|
Hi, Thanks for the query. Risperidone is combined hormonal contraceptive pill. By starting new pack immediately after completion of first pack with Chat Doctor. Usually by using hormonal contraceptive pills ovulation can be suppressed. So the possibility of pregnancy is less during this period if you use the pill according to the guidelines. For more details

Hi, The Herpes simplex viral infection has to be either confirmed or ruled out by doing a few investigations. a. Track test

Hi my name is Joe Ann I am having upper rib tenderness above the diaphragm area. I haven t had any recent trauma about a year ago I fell and broke ribs on the left but the tenderness is on both sides. I d really be grateful if you could help.. I do have neck and back issues don t know if that can do anything but just letting you know. Thank you again.
|
Thank you, Mr. Joe Ann for your question. I got from your question that you have had trauma to your rib cage a year ago. Now feeling pain on both sides of chest wall. Well. . . To consider the causes of pain, there may be musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and others. Are you sure you dding have trauma (to both sides)? Did you take a complete rest and received systematic and proper treatment after your trauma? Do you lift heavy weights very often? Do you feel pain in other areas of bone? Are you sure the pain does not come out from inside the chest? Any respiratory problems? What investigations have you done? I want to advise you to take a rest and avoid heavy weight lifting for about a month, and if symptoms not relieved, please do some investigations, such as Chest X-ray etc. I'm looking forward to discussing that in detail. Thank you so much. Have a nice day.

In the last 3 weeks since we had a heatwave, temps over 40 degrees, I have been experiencing allergy type symptoms. I am lightheaded, uncoordinated, my face and tongue feel swollen, my sight is affected, I feel sort of high and like I am ghosting or following my body. The doctor thought I might be allergic to heat, but I don t have any rashes or get itchy, my nose does not run or block, just I feel so swollen and puffy. I have had blood tests for the general body functions and all are fine. I have heamocromotosis and my blood is getting thicker and harder to extract. I am retaining fluid badly and drinking a fair bit, but not getting rid of much. I was prescribed with a short course of steroids and also Zyrtec, but this isn t really helping. It can get very scary as I feel so weird. I have tried to see if it is food related, but no real results. I am thinking it may be the air-conditioner as I am in a new residence and using the air-con for the first time. Do you have any suggestions please????
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. As you describe, it appears to be the reaction of the cool air, from the air conditioner, and sometimes allergen gases may come out along with the cool air. Or the cause may be due to the food in the new area, or water. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. Avoid taking fruits, juices, ice water, ice cream, and the things allergic to you. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

I was told by another doctor - not my own - that it sounded like my asthma was misdiagnosed. When I was 4 I had Bronchitis/pneumonia (not sure exactly which one) and my doctor told my mom and I that all it was was a little infection. But my mom kept on insisting I had asthma, which made the doctor ask me questions that my mom insisted were true although when I was asked them later the answers we always no . I haven t had any problems with my asthma since I was 9- when I sold my cat. I can run 4 miles without an issue, I am never short of breath, I had an inhaler but it never helped or anything; but if a cat gets in my face my eyes get itchy & I feel swollen almost I Have no problems with any other allergies, I am rarely ever sick, and I have no problems nor have I ever that are typically associated with asthma. When I explained this to a doctor I came across while at a restaurant, they said it sounded like I had a cat allergy, not asthma. Would you say I do have asthma or that it s more likely i just have a cat allergy?

Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows

This patient who is diagnosed with Carcinoid Syndrome and was operated for same. His Octreoscan was also positive i suppose. Now since his symptoms have recurred search on the primary tumor has to be done by repeat Octreo scan or CT scan with special look at the Pancreas and Retroperitoneum.
|
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. It is treated by removing primary tumor, so you should do scan to verify exact locus, then treatment can be planned. I hope I have answered you query.

Hi, about once a month or so I have a slight flutter and I lose my breath. I am very athletic, and anytime I am exercising vigorously it does not seem to happen, it always seems to happen when I am just walking around or any type of moderate activity. I cant figure out the problem and we have no history of cardiac problems in our family.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Fluttering sensation with loss of breath are commonly seen in arrhythmia (irregular heart rate). You are also having family history of heart diseases. So better to first rule out cardiac diseases like arrhythmia in your case. So consult doctor and get done 1. ECG 2. 2d echo 3. Holder monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about arrhythmia or other heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. But better to rule out arrhythmia first. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I had my #17 molar extracted in November due to decay and painful abscess. I had no problems with dry socket or any kind of healing at the time. This evening, I noticed a lump between my cheek and gums, maybe on my jaw, closely under the previous location of the tooth that is a little sensitive to touch but not painful or noticeable otherwise. I was wondering if it is possible for the abscess or other infection to still be there or is it more likely unrelated and should be followed up with a dentist or doctor?
|
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, According to your clinical symptoms I suspect that there could be a chance of some broken root piece left in the socket causing infection. I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get an x-ray done to confirm the cause if present can be removed surgically. Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics. Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Take care!

I hit my shin below the knee hard today tubing in a creek and afterwards had quite a goose egg on it. Tonight it is sore but the swelling has gone down some. The funny thing is, there s no bruising showing up where I hit it. Could I have bruised the bone there?
|
Hi, As with the history it appears you may have hit the bony region of the shin of tibia. Now tibia is a bone of the leg which has very less bulk of the muscles there, so chances of having a bony injury is common, usually it won't be a fracture as tibia is a strong bone. Only thing is that for a safer side x-ray should be taken to see any hairline fracture. Rest assured, with hot water fermentation and rest it should be fine. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi Doctors, My mother is 62 year old and has several time breath problem. symptom she is becoming uncounsions and feeling nothing and have breath problem during thse faction of time. As soon as we are giving mouth to mouth breath air in her mouch she suddenly awaking witChatDoctorpalin of she felt choking and week ness we went to physian and they give some medicine. pl .advise what we have to cure her and which specilist to consult and what test and medicine require to 100% cure.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should consult cardiologist for her because possibility of heart related diseases is more in her case. Sudden onset breathlessness, choking, unconsciousness etc. are characteristic symptoms of end stage heart diseases like heart failure, coronary artery disease, hypotension etc. So better to consult cardiologist and get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring 2. Ecg3. 2d echo 4. Coronary angiography. She may need cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. Don't worry, with appropriate treatment, she will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.

I just took a 1000IU pill of Vitamin D# yesterday due to low Vit. D levels in my system. It made me feel really good and also made my joints feel better (I am almost 60 and a serious athlete). However, my intestinal tract is really upset and I have a metallic taste in my mouth. Any suggestions?
|
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to side effects of the use of vitamin D. I suggest using a gastric protector in the morning before breakfast such as Omeprazole 20 mg per day. I also suggest eating a healthy diet and take vitamin D supplements with food to minimize the side effects. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.

Hi. Im a 31-year old female. Im overweight & have high blood pressure. I also have anxiety/panic attacks & have just been diagnosed with ADHD. I currently take Quinapril 40mg once daily & Sertraline. My Dr. gave me an rx for Vyvanse 30mg & today was the first day I took it. Im having chest pain, trouble breathing, my body feels achy, Im dizzy, & I have numbness in my limbs. What should I do? I know that Im NOT taking the Vyvanse again. Id rather just deal wit my ADHD on my own.
|
HIT hanks for using Chat Doctor At 31\u00a0years of age, Anxiety disorder may be due misdiagnosed as ADHD. In that case, you need just antidepressant and low dose benzodiazepine. There is no need of taking Vyvanse. It consists of amphetamine and it is a stimulant. What ever symptoms, you got, is due to amphetamine and better to avoid it. With sertraline and relaxation exercise, you would improve. Thanks

For the past few months, Ive been experiencing pain. It wakes me up in the early morning usually around 3 or 4. Its very painful on my mid-lower back. Recently, it has also started to be painful in the front around my lower rib area. It doesnt hurt on only one side, but both. This time it has also made me sick to my stomach as well. Ive been to the doctor several times. Theyve told me it is rapid muscle pain. Ive also had some x-rays of my spine, whicChatDoctore back fine. Im a 30 yr. old female. Any help would be appreciated.
|
The back pain which cause awakening at early morning could be due to early infection at spinal vertebrae. In initial stages it could not be visible on plain x-rays for months. For this you should get an MRI of spine, complete blood count AND erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). MRI can detect initial stages of infection and blood count & ESR will make diagnosis confirm. For this you need experts guidance by rehab specialist, physical therapist and an Orthopedic surgeon. Hope this helps. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.

Hi. Ideally with the four medicines - namely Rifampicin, Ethambutol, Isoniazid and Pyrizinamide you are taking should have increased your weight. If the weight is not improved in spite of improved appetite there are chances of the following not allowing you to gain weight

Hello, It may be a linear rash due to the impact due to the stitching point of your Chat Doctor. It may be cutaneous larva migraine or urticaria.

My husband was stung or bitten by something a couple of days ago. Sight of sting is no longer red but warm to touch and he gets a tingling sensation in the area when he first stands after sitting for a period of time. It is itching now too. Should he see a doctor or is it slowly getting better?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor! Sorry to hear about your Husbands health.First, can you ascertain what bit him? Since you haven't mentioned anything, if by any chance it was a snake/scorpion bite, you have to immediately rush to a doctor. However since it was a few days ago, that seems unlikely and was likely an insect bite. To get relief from itching and other symptoms, ask him to take antihistamines like tablet cetirizine or tablet Evil. These will bring relief to him. If he has pain too, he may be given any of the painkillers. Also, apply ice after wrapping in a thin cloth, to the affected area. It will bring relief too. Remember, rush to the doctor if he experiences --Nausea-Vomiting -Vomits blood-Passes blood in stooling he doesn't have any other symptom, there is nothing to be worried about, and he will get better soon. Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any other doubt. Wishing your husband a speedy recovery.

Hello, I am a neurologist and I thank you for posting this question in ChatDoctorLet me tell you that any particular medical problem in medicine can be due to multiple causes and treatment and outcome depends upon the cause. Further in nanomedicine, other things which can help a physician get the right diagnosis are the sequential evolution of the symptoms and the detailed neurological assessment by a neurologist. All these things will help to get the correct diagnosis. Back to your question, you have listed some symptoms, based upon these I think that you need an urgent neurological examination to see if you have neurological deficits. The second step will be to get a scan done and treat it accordingly rather than simple assumption. Hope this will help you

I have been having intermittent low grade fever for about two months. I m also having rib pain, headaches, breathlessness, night sweats, swollen face and sometimes hands, intermittently very bad fatigue, some joint pain. I have tested negative for all autoimmune markets, Lyme, ect. Everything seems fine. Blood cultures have also not shown a thing. Dr does not know what it is and has ordered a CAT scan with contrast of chest, abdominal and pelvic areas. I am very nervous. Any ideas of what it may be or what else to check for?
|
Hi. You have not mentioned your country and your age and weight. You have not mentioned the findings of chest x-ray and ultrasound abdomen. You may be a case of tuberculosis of chest. For diagnosis of tuberculosis of chest, u require CBC with ESR, sputum AFB, CXR etc. If u do not have abdominal complaints, then go for CT chest first only. If CT chest out to be negative, then u can go for other investigations. If u have any other query then ask. Take care.

HI IAM Chat Doctor. First STOP THINKING THAT THESE ARE INTERRELATED. TAKE EACH DISEASE SEPARATELY. REGARDING KIDNEY ISSUES I THINK YOU NEED TO GET AN ULTRASOUND OF KIDNEYS AND RENAL FUNCTION TESTS TO Assess THE KIDNEYS. STONES CAN CAUSE SHRUNKEN KIDNEYS IN LONG TERM BASES BUT IF KIDNEYS FUNCTIONS ARE OK YOU NEED NOT WORRY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MEDICINES YOU ARE TAKING FOR RHEUMATOID BUT THEY HAVE SOME EFFECT ON STOMACH AND SOME TIMED LIVER OR KIDNEYS BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE THESE MEDICINES FOR PAIN SO Can't LEAVE THEM. REMEMBER DEPRESSION CANT BE TREATED WITH MEDICINES ALONE. YOU HAVE TO START FEELING GOOD, ACT ACCORDINGLY AND POSITIVELY, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN WORLD WHO SUFFER FROM A LOT WORSE DISEASES BUT FIGHT IT OUT. YOU ARE BETTER THAN MANY. THINK OF YOUR CHILD

My 8month old baby had an uti we gave him antibiotics for one week. We got his urine Dr checked again. One week later his last dose. In his report everything seems fine accept from +1 mucus. Does this mean infection is coming back? Before antibiotics he wasn t eating he was cranky he had fever now he seems fine no fever, eats fine. Should I b worried?
|
Hello dear, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. Mucus is not sign of UTI, he doesn't have high level of WBC, you just do hygienic procedures twice a day. Repeat urinalysis after 1 week. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing your baby a good health.

My sister has a high liver enzyme count of 66 and had an ultra sound this morning and will receive results next week. The doctor told her that she has a fatty liver. What does that mean as far as getting the count down to normal and what should her diet consist of?

Hi. Thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. 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). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of fatty liver disease. Advice for fatty liver

Hi doc, I have friend of min who has completed his engineering 4 years back and he is not looking for job, he is bit home sick, when ever his parents or friends ask him about when he will start working he used to say he is having Inferiority complex or some other reason, we friends and his parents believe he need to meet Psychiatrists to solve this issue, what suggestion I can expect from you guys ?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The reason for your friend for not going to any work or not sticking to any job, could be anything beyond imagination. He should be taken to a psychologist for a simple counseling session first. In that counseling session, your friend should reveal why he is overlooking job. Only if this not works, take him to a psychiatrist. 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 the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Hi doctor myself isha I am suffering from severe
|
Hi, Welcome and thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. It appears from your query that you are having the problem of \"Chronic urticaria\". This is a specific type of hypersensitivity of skin caused by multiple innumerable causes. It is characterized by transient, evanescent rash which appears for few hours to up-to 24 hours and then subside by itself. The most problematic state is the itching and redness caused by this problem. As I discussed above, the exact cause of this problem is sometimes very difficult to find out. So the best treatment available is to reduce the tendency of redness and itching by simple antihistamine. In my clinical practice I prefer to give \"loratadine\" tablet by mouth up to 1- 3 times a day depending on the severity of problem. It is non-sedating antihistamine so do not interfere with the alertness of the person. You need to take the antihistamine for long term and then can slowly taper it off. It is better to consult a good dermatologist who can explain the whole situation properly and then can guide you for long term. Hope these information will help. With good health wishes\" Chat Doctor.

Hi, the medication you are taking is correct, but you should have started with seroflo125mg first .but since you have started you continue the same, after you finish this inhaler you use Aeroflot 125\u00a0mg once if it is sufficient you can continue this for treatment. however you keep going to you regular physician and keep him informed. You can use Stalin for acute attacks. Also when you use Aeroflot kindly gargle and rinse your mouth after using the inhaler.I also suggest you get yourself tested for allergy, it is called skin prick test you will know what you are allergic to, then if possible you can avoid the allergen, or you can start treatment called immunotherapy. This is currently the best treatment available and your symptoms will easily reduce by 80-90 percent kindly visit you rent specialist he will guide you further and immunologist he will do skin prick test and immunotherapy thank you Chat Doctor.

Hi,I am 24 years old. I missed period and today is about 65th day and I am not pregnant. I went to a hospital and undergone Ultrasonography diagnosis and got discovered that I am having arcuate uterus. Please let me know if I want to conceive in future will I have to face problems or complications?? Thanks & Regards,Aparna

Hi Apart, Thanks for your query. Arcuate uterus is a congenital anomaly of uterus where uterine funds dip into the uterine cavity and look like septum in the uterine cavity. Diagnoses are made by transvaginal ultrasonography. Causing mainly the problem of pregnancy losses, frequent abortion. Treatment is hysteroscope resection. You should consult a gynecologist for your problem when you want to conceive in the future. Don't worry. Take care.

Hello, My name is Kim Im 54 years old.On December 19,2014 I had a triple bypass, 3 weeks after surgery I developed fluid between my lungs and wall cavity from both sides of my lungs, 700ml and 100ml were removed,I was sent home with oxygen because I now have a hard time breathing.Its been almost 2 months since this happened, will my breathing get any better or will I be on oxygen the rest of my life?

Hello, many a time when the Chat Doctor. Having explained this I would reassurance you that with passing of time your breathlessness will subside. However, a review chest X-ray / sonography for the heart will quantity the fluid in lungs. Lastly and importantly I would like to know the 2d echo report as the heart pumping being on lower may be ultimate reason of your breathlessness and fluid in lungs, and this may warrant optimization of the

hi doctor, i am lauren 15,. i have been getting fevers fro long periods of time, i feel tired often and i have just red pimple like figures all over my body. i have swollen lumps in my armpits and i just recently discovered a lump on my inner thigh? are these symptoms of luekemia?
|
Fever with lumps and rash can occur with a variety of infections, including different viruses, tuberculosis, syphilis, mononucleosis, and many other conditions. These are things you need to be checked for. Lymphoma or leukemia or another blood condition might also cause such symptoms. There are so many possibilities that I think it very important you go to your doctor and get some tests promptly. You need to figure out what is causing this, so it can be treated before it gets any worse. Hope this helps.

Hi i m 27 yrs old female and having hypothyroidism since 2005 and started taking pills since2006 for the same and i am havng bone pain and muscle pain since childhood..i have taken lot of calcium tabs but my bone pain is not relieved.i feel lethargic all the time.i did my bone mineral density and found myself to be osteopenic..plz suggest what supplements shud i go for and if arachitol inj would help..
|
Dear friend, I have understood your concern and supporting you well. See as you mentioned your age is 27 young girl with hypothyroidism may affect bone, but this is in control of pituitary gland. Calcium supplements and injection will work for short periods of time. For permanent solution you need to increase your calcium and magnesium and vitamin D supplements. Continue to take t3 tab. Do regular every day yogasanas and mediation and Panama practice which will normalize the function of pituitary gland. Go for Art of Living work Shop where you can learn Darshan Oriya breathing techniques which has good role in harmonize the endocrine system especially thyroid disease. I hope you satisfied with this answer, still if you have further queries, feel free to contact me.

Hi I have had a small lump behind my ear for a mumber of years. It has never given me any problems but recently it burst and I squeezed out a thick white puss. The lump had gone down slightly since then nbut now I have had a green fluid leaking out. Have i an ifection or is a burst lympth node? Many Thanks
|
Hi. You are right. Most of the swellings in this area are lymph nodes. The change over to the green pus is suggestive of another opportunistic bacterial growth and needs a change of antibiotic and needs also the test of Microscopy, culture and sensitivity of the green pus for future help for the most appropriate antibiotic. Confirmation is required from an ENT Surgeon that this pus is not coming from the mastoid bone and may warrant a CT scan too.

i recently caught a coldsore from my partner and it has spread to my faced and arm i have to go to wofrk every day and i haver been using makeup but also using anti bacterial cream and teabags but its getting better than all of a sudden gets worse do i have to take time off work to let it heal up its getting me really down
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Cold sores are due to the herpes simplex virus. Because it is due to a virus, it would not be affected or treated by an antibacterial cream (this treats bacterial only not viruses). You would need an anti-viral cream such as viral. Abreva is also thought to help with cold sores though it is not an antiviral cream. If it is not healing well, you may need to see your doctor about oral treatment. I hope this helps

|
Hello madam/sir, welcome to medical care magic. Did you get your blood and urine checked? If so you have not mentioned the diagnosis. If nothing has been done please get the blood and urine tests with chest X-rays. 2 months fever is a serious issue. The cause should be cured. Please go and visit physician with the reports. With this I hope I cleared your doubts. Any further doubts you are always welcome. Take care. Good health

I have issues with my legs. I cannot lift them very high, Some times I cannot walk after sitting for a period of time. Now my right arm is acting up. Its tough to type this letter. Im only 42 and in decent health. Wondering what could be happening?
|
Hi. This could be nerve tension in the legs, and can be related to low back pain, but I will need more clarity
|
I ve been experincing alot of arms and legs tingling and dizziness almost daily I m currently on Depakote, zoloft, Trazodone, and Visteral for my bipolar disorder and never felt these things before I started the meds, so I m thinking it s got something to do with the meds. I get vertigo alot, and actually had to call an ambulance one time and go to the hospital cuz I was so incredibly woozy I almost passed out and was vomiting alot! Felt horrible.
|
Hi, If your symptoms have only on recently after starting separate then, I would recommend asking your doctor to check your blood concentration levels to be sure that you are not running too high (50-80 is generally considered a good range) while toxicity may start to appear at levels >100. Now, it could also be your serum concentrations are normal but the Chat Doctor. These are all possibilities that your doctor can help you figure out. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

hi my name is farah and I have a health question regarding my mother n law she is around 60 year old and is having really bad cramps in the sides of her ribs. they hurt her really bad when she coughs or moves a wrong way. she s had for a very long time and just about every day. please help.
|
Hi, From the history you have provided, it looks that your Mother-in-Law is suffering from Costo-chon Chat Doctor. I would advise you to get an MRI of the painful area, telling the Radiologist to be specifically see for the painful-tender area. This will confirm the diagnosis. I would suggest the following treatment.-Rest to the area by means of strapping with the Adhesive tapes during the deep Expiration phase. This will limit the movement, reduce the pain and give rest for healing to occur.-Anti-inflammatory medicines in full dose as per the weight.-Steroids if required for its strong anti-inflammatory role. This sort of treatment helps all my patients. And should help you too. You can get this confirmed by your treating Doctor or search for any other cause.

I have been having burning in my chest that occurs when I am walking quickly and feel a tightening and pulling in the back of my throat and in the lower sinus region. We thought it was possible esophageal reflux. I have been taking Nexium over-the-counter for the past 3 weeks and there seems to be little to no change. My doctor said my lungs seemed clear and my heart was okay. As soon as I stop walking fast, it calms down. I had been eating before bedtime and caught myself having acid reflux up into my throat which is why we thought it may have been related.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, in my opinion you are having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Along with Chat Doctor. 1. Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Go for walk after meals. 5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. 6. Avoid smoking and alcohol, if you are having these habits. 7. Lose weight if you are obese. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My MRI report said - central and right paracentral disc bulge causing right anterolateral thecal sac indentation.right lateral recess stenosis resulting compression over the L5 traversing nerve on right side at L 4-5 level. will i become alright without any operation ?
|
Hi, thanks for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned the MRI reports you missed to mention your symptoms. Because most of the scans may reveal many things but has to correlate with clinical signs and symptoms of the patient which is always mentioned in the reports.in case you have not tried physical therapy you can please try the same as it is a non-invasive way of helping patients with disc injury and other most cases. Your physician will help you by medicine which will help you to get ease of pain symptomatically. Also to mention that use of a therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS for this issue by a physical therapist helps the pain level to come down. Post that an exercise regimen is implemented which helps strengthen the muscles and release the compression from the nerve which also reduces the symptoms to a great extent. Usually most patient of mine have responded well under the medicine and physical therapy. I never had to recommend the patient to undergo surgery in 99% of cases. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery

My doc prescribed me to take Clome 100mg Day 3 to Day 7.Follicular study scan On 12th day (today) showed one follicle of size 9mm on right overy.So she suggested me to take a injections ( INJ IVF -M) for 2 days and asked to go for another scan on 16th day .is there a possibility for conception this cycle???
|
HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. Normally, in a 28-day cycle, ovulation occurs on day 14. By this time, the mature egg follicle, which is ready to rupture, should measure around 18 - 20 mm. The egg follicle grows at a rate of 1 - 2 mm per day so by day 12, it should be around 12 mm or more. In your case, it is not of the optimum size on day 12. However, some women have delayed cycles or delayed growth of the egg follicle. In that case, the egg will grow at a normal pace, only the day would be late. Continue having follicular monitoring for a few more days. If the follicle size becomes optimum, then there would be scope for ovulation. Ovulation (rupture of the egg follicle) also is confirmed via the follicular ultrasound scan. Once ovulation is confirmed, please remain sexually active to maximize the chances of pregnancy. Take regular folic acid supplements. Also, if 3- 6 such cycles of stimulation fail inspire of good ovulation, then go for laparoscopy to check the patency of your fallopian tubes. All the betake care.

hi i have a rectangle shaped lump on my gooch it hurts if it is touched, i noticed it a couple of days ago but it was alot smaller then. Also a couple of weeks ago i had a similar lump on my neck but it looked like a GIANT pimple and now that my neck lump has healed there is no hair growing in that spot. Could this gooch lump be the same as my neck lump and is it harmful?
|
Hi, Good Morning, Thanks for your query to My-ChatDoctor Clinic. I studied your query in depth. I understood your concerns. My opinion on the pooch lump-is -mostly a -furunculitis with boil.-It appears to be the same as that on the neck.-Coincidence of 2 boils /fur uncles -suspects diabetes and needs to be ruled out ASAP.-I would advise-FBS, PPS and consult a physician and surgeon.-Treat with antibiotics and NSAIDs, if it does not reduce the lump, then a surgeons help to Chat Doctor. -Hope this would help you to recover from worry-some query. Wish you a Fast Recover. Wellcome to Chat Doctor again.

Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. From your description you are hypothyroid. There really is no natural way to increase your thyroid levels. To help get your thyroid levels back to normal you may take additional iodine and selenium supplements. But to bring your TSH back to normal you must take thyroid replacement therapy. Without taking thyroid replacement medication you can run the risk of severe edema and heart problems. I do not recommend that you try any natural replacement therapies, instead seek medical attention to start you on thyroid replacement Hope I answered your medical question. Please contact us again with your medical questions and concerns

HI my iron level was 7 but from couple of months its 5. My skin color was fair but from last year its getting worse especially i have dead grey patches of skin on my stomach , forehead and chin, been feeling extreme irritation all over my body especially on face and skull... is it has something to do with my low level of iron.....can i get some help here
|
Hello, Thank you for contacting ChatDoctorI understand your concern, I am Chat Doctor, Infectious Disease Specialist answering your query. No low iron level has nothing to do with the dead black patch of skin. Low iron level causes anemia which may be associated with fatigue, breathless less, low concentration etc. Your dead Chat Doctor. AS per your description it looks like psoriasis. But detail can only be known if the visual examination done. I advise you to get your examination done and take the treatment as per the doctors' guidance. You can use calamine lotion for skin softening, if you have itching you can use cetirizine under your doctors' guidance. Please give good moisturizing to your skin by applying petroleum jelly as it can prevent further happening of such an incident. You can ask for further queries here on bit.ly/

ive been having heart palpatations for about a year now, seemed to be worse when smoking but have quit now for 5 days and still having palpatations and discomfort. been to hospital over it before ekg was fine but still having the issues do you have any insight on what could be wrong
|
HI There After reading the medical details provided by you, I would like to tell you that as smoking is one of the important cause of palpitations, and you have stopped smoking so it's very good. Do not start smoking again. Now you can wait for 3 or 4 days more than your palpitations could stop by themselves. But if not then I would like to start you on low dose Beta blockers like Metoprolol. Its advisable that you should consult your cardiologist personally to get a written prescription. I wish you good health

Hi, I am a Type 1 diabetic. I developed a small blister on my toe which got infected. My local doctor thinks I may have been bitten by a spider and has taken a swab.

Welcome to ChatDoctorDiabetic toe infection must be taken proper care of. The Chat Doctor. The area should be protected from any further injury.

Hi Doctor,My Daughter had seizures on upper left and lower left limbs on her 3rd day of birth. Blood culture normal,Ultrasound Granium is normal and she had lymphocytosis.So we had Ronem IV injection for 7 Days.Doctor prescribed Eptoin 1.5ml BD and Gardenol 15mg HS.As other pediatrician suggested stopped eptoin but she had legs and hands shivering .So started giving it again.Please help me on this.

Hi, Thanks for your query. We would have appreciated if you had informed us about the diagnosis at discharge. Seizures can occur for a good number of reasons, and it is not possible to discuss all of them here. Birth traumas and metabolic causes are the most common form of seizures in the immediate neonatal period. It is advisable to continue with Option till the treating pediatrician is comfortable with the status of the child. I suggest that you discuss with your pediatrician and also get a serum ionic calcium level done. Wishing your daughter an early recovery.

Hi, I have a close friend of mine (23 years old) who suffered from a sudden, unexpected death. He bloated in just a short period of time, and mouth foaming was observed (which is a big question on the probable cause). Half of his body (upper part) was in black-like appearance, and based on doctors initial statement, this might be due to the blood vessel rupture. Few questions arise
|
Thanks for asking your question foaming from mouth is seen in epilepsy, seizure disorder.maybe it was epilepsy followed by aspiration of gastric contents in the trachea which clogged the airway .this can be one of the reasons which caused cyanosis that is the bluish / black appearance, which is due to lack of oxygenated hemoglobin. This can be due to variety of diseases vessel rupture, pulmonary embolism, aneurysm, epilepsy, sudden cardiac arrest thanks may god bless you with good health

I have been having an odd pulsating or trickling down feeling in my upper left abdomen after i eat or drinking anything along with slight constipation . I am a 20 year old college athlete, but i did have to have my gall bladder removed about 4 years ago. I m not sure if this is much of an issue, but wanted to make sure.
|
Dear Friend. Hi, I am Chat Doctor, I have read your query in detail, I understand your concern. Pulsatile feeling can be normal due to aorta, if you are touching and feeling it. However, you should also get an Ultrasound abdomen to see for any obvious cause. This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me.

|
HiT hanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Persistent vomiting needs complete evaluation. A basic Ultrasound abdomen to look for any obstructive causes is must. Deworming will help too, usually albendazole is given as single dose at night for that. If all the workup is negative, cyclical vomiting is a possibility. This can be treated with medicines like propranolol. Wishing your child speedy recoveryRegards Chat Doctor.

I chipped my tooth yesterday so today I went to the dentist to get it bonded together so there was no chip.. I didnt know there was also a cavity in that same tooth.. so the dentist did what ever he was supposed to then he fixed the chipped tooth. I left the dentist completely numb.. which I am not complaining about because I hate pain. But now that it is starting to ware off.. the whole right side of my nose/face hurt. is this just from the shot? will it go away or is there an infection? I have had an infection before due to the dentist not doing the filling correctly .. which resulted in a root canal... which resulted in more pain so ended up removing the tooth. Thanks
|
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Please note that there is either high points on your filling which is causing sharp pain to you, or it could be pulpits(decay involving soft tissues of teeth). In either of the above cases please see your dentist soon and get it evaluated.a radiograph can show the present condition and cause for pain.Meanwhile, you can use painkillers every six hourly until you see your dentist. You can also do warm saline rinses. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.

Hi ive had my retainer since I was 15 and im now 26 ive had to wear it continuously since because it has a partial tooth on it....for the past 3 months I have noticed that I have 2 red spots where it looks like the retainer has maybe rubbed it raw. I clean my retainer and brush my teeth everyday like I should so I dont know whats going on. When I take a mirror and a light to it you can see the outline of my retainer in the roof of my mouth also. And in one side of my mouth it doesnt seem to stay it place as great as it did once before. My teeth are straight and look healthy but my question is what is the redness on the roof of mount mouth? It doesnt hurt jus bleeds a bit sometimes more when I brush my teeth. Could my retainer be causing this? If so why?....im very worried
|
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have undergoing Orthodontic treatment you are wearing retainers, redness on roof of mouth can be due to retainer go to Orthodontist and get trimmed if there is sharp margins in retainers and as you have mentioned that you have bleeding while brushing it is because during orthodontic treatment proper maintain of oral hygiene is not there it can be due to Gingivitis, Hope this will help you. Wish you good health.

I received a new tattoo approx 9 days ago the past few days I started getting a very itchy rash and last night noticed they are turning to white head pimples.....this has never happened from any other tattoo that I have received. I was thinking it was because I smothered it with a&d ointment the first few days? Please help me its not getting any better with lotion or hydrcortizone cream. What should I do?
|
Hi, thanks for your query. You seem to have developed contact irritant dermatitis to the ink used in tattooing. There may be no initial reaction, repeated contact with chemicals in the dye used for the tattoo can cause eventual sensitization and reaction to the product. So this did not happen with prior tattoos. Take oral anti histamine for a few days to control itching. Apply antibiotic and steroid combination cream twice a day for a week to 10 days. It may take 2-3 weeks to settle. Hope this helps you. Wish you a speedy recovery

hi my name is tom. my age is 52, weight 180 lbs., ht 70 inches.i stay very active and consider myself in good shape. my question is. i have noticed lately that when i use my left hand to push or pull on a door knob or something similar, i get a tingling or a electrical shock of some degree.(on the area of my hand that is applying pressure) i have verified that there is nothing related to actual electrical shortages. its my body creating this continues shock feeling. Maybe i still have a little spark in me what s going on. some what concerned.
|
Hello, Based on your description of your complaints. What I can infer is that you may be suffering from left-hand tendinitis or spondylosis of cervical spine. In plain layman language tendinitis means when due to overuse or aging the tendons become inflamed. So whenever you use your hand repeatedly there is a tingling and uncomfortable sensation. In the second condition the nerves whicChatDoctore to your upper hand may be pinched in your neck causing the shock like sensation in your arm. Would recommend you to see an orthopedic specialist if the symptoms continue. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Hello doctor. I am Bijoy have suffering from oral submucous fibrosis for last 1 year. I have habit of chewing gutkha for last 5 years. I have not yet consulted any doctor yet. My mouth can be open up to 25 mm.could not take spicy food. Burning sensation on tung. Lips got rigid like. Mouth got dried.Please help me. What are the treatment available.? Is there is any alternate medicine available? Please help.
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Oral submucous fibrosis is regarded as precancerous condition which is not supposed to be neglected. Chewing Gurkha has to be stopped completely and compulsorily. I would advise you to consult an oral surgeon at the earliest to evaluate the extent of the condition. Steroid injections will be helpful after considering the situation. Multivitamins will also help you to maintain a good health. Keep on doing simple mouth opening exercises. Application of Triamcinolone acetone buccal paste 2-3 times a day for one week can also aid. The last aid can be a surgical intervention. Hope this was useful. Please have yourself checked with the dentist at the earliest. Thanks and regards.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your symptoms are more suggestive of heart diseases (ischemic heart diseases - HD). Normal ECG can not rule out HD. You are having risk factors liked hypertension, diabetes, obesity. So we should definitely do more investigations to rule out HD. So get done 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes acute gastritis can also cause chest pain, nausea, sweating etc. So Chat Doctor.

Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Cytomegalovirus is notorious for causing a malformation in the first three months of life. If the mother infected with the cytomegalovirus in the first trimester of the pregnancy than this virus interferes with the organ development of the baby. All the mentioned problems in your case is related to this defect. I think you can understand that once the organ is defected it can't be cured with any medications. But you can visit the pediatric surgeon in your area, they can give you opinion. Some malformations can be corrected with the surgery. So you can correct some problems of your child which is possible. Some problems can be corrected with the aid e.g. hearing aid. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor

I have seen my orthopedic doctor who replaced both knees with total success in 2004. I now have a tear in my rotator cuff; small but all the way through. He told me it would get worse and would require surgery to fix it. I started babying the involved (left) arm and now it s not bothering me at all. A month or more ago, it was really hurting and the pain radiating down my arm to my arthritic hand and fingers. However, I hate to go ahead with surgery this fall when it s not even bothering me. May I please have your opinion. Thx. Linda (70 yrs old) and very active.
|
If pain has been subsided and rotator cuff injury does not hurt you during day to day activities then you can safely postpone the surgery and start conservative management. Cervical isometric, shoulder range of motion and rotator cuff strengthening exercises will help you a lot. If you feel relief in pain then you can continue it. Hope this helps. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.

I have been seeing a pain specialist for many years. I am 63 years old, and have chronic pain in my low back, and left hip. My hip is constantly inflamed. I have had every kind of xrays, mri, etc. known to man. I also suffer from migraines. My dr has had me on oxycontin 15 mg time release tabs for over a year. Recently I changed insurance. They want me to try morphine sulfate or a fentayl patch(spelled wrong). I have paid out of pocket for another month of the oxycontin as I am traveling back and forth to Florida from TN, as my 88 year old Mother has been very ill. Please advise what medication is best with my symtoms.
|
For treatment chronic lower back and hip pain you can take some painkiller like biozobid-plus or osteopath only when the pain is worse enough or disturbing your daily work along with some calcium supplements like shackled or toscal-gem once daily for joint pain. Take some multivitamin like metilda-af or neurobian-plus once daily. Do some physiotherapy exercises after an expert opinion of physiotherapist. I will also advise you to sleep on a plain surface.

hello,I am on clomid 50 mg and this is the second cycle. I responded well the first cycle and now this cycle there are two follicles in my right ovary but growing very slowly. on day 10 it was 1.2 and day 13 it was 1.3 and day 15 i was 1.6 so my doctor has said to take 2 clomid 100 mg from today (day 15) and she will she me next week. I wanted a second opinion is it safe to take at this stage of my cycle and will i have any side effects as it will be 2X the dose?
|
Hi, How are you doing ? I don't agree with this management. Closed is Camphene is hormone which causes increase in hormone which makes the follicular growth better. But its main side effect is it will reduce the inner lining of the uterus. If this is reduced, the pregnancy chances is reduced, as this lining is needed for the embryo/ baby to get good attachment to uterus. So the better option is to have dose of hormone injections to increase the follicular size. It will be safe to increase dose of Closed in next cycle. But by just increasing dose of tablet, problem will not be solved. Better to take hormone injection from the beginning & you will get a much better follicular response. Hope I have clarified your queries All the best Chat Doctor.

Hi Doctor,I stepped on a sharp piece of fish bone so I put peroxide side on it and thoguht it was ok but I found out 3 weeks later a tiny tip of the bone was still in my foot so I squeezed the tip of the bone out and a small amount of pus came out. In two days the pain went away, the natural color in the area came back, the tiny opening closed, and the skin grew back. I feel like its totally healed. Do I need to get antibiotics for any sustained infection I may not be aware of?
|
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, there is no need to take any antibiotics now. Your description is suggesting that your infection is cured. If the infection is not cured than skin never fuse, opening remains as such and there is discharge of pus coming out from it. So from now only maintaining good hygiene and small Chat Doctor. Extra antibiotics created in necessary resistance in you. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/

My both hands n legs affected red coloured allergy..I think it is ring worms..I dont know what it is...One nurse told me to apply panderm.Is it good for ring worm? I am a diabetic patient.I used Daktrine..then its going to brown.Now I applied panderm.But I feel itching...Pls advice me wat to do???I am 52 years old.80kgs,5.2 inch height...I am taking Diamicron,Glucophage1000mg,ateHexal 50mg and aspirin.15yrs dat diabetic.
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Ringworm infection usually presents with flat, scaly lesions which are ring shaped because there is central healing or clearing with fungi present in the edges of the lesions. You being diabetic are prone to fungal infection, but that can be confirmed by doing fungal culture from skin sample taken from the edge of the lesions. Daktrin is fluconazole which is effective in superficial fungal infections, but the therapy has to be continued till 6 weeks at least. Panderm contains statin which is more effective against yeast infections. I would suggest you get in touch with a dermatologist to confirm if fungal infection is present or not. Fungal culture will be positive within 14 days if any infection is suspected. Then only try any new medications. Thanks.

I am a diabetic and have been for years but for the past couple of months I have had trouble breathing and my legs are like concrete. They are swollen so are my feet and I have no ankle bones anymore that you can see. My feet are swollen also and it is hard to walk after a few hours. I do work on my feet for 8 hours a day.
|
Hello, If this is the swelling of the lower limb, then it could be due to a long-standing position that causes the return of blood difficulty it is the most common reason seen if the swelling subsides on its own in the morning. And if this is not the reason, then it could be the renal disease, cardiopulmonary disease, with diabetes such symptom of lower limb swelling need to be taken seriously, I would suggest getting done the test for renal disease and for cardiopulmonary disease. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

HELLO. Thanks for sharing your concern with us. I feel you are suffering from Urticaria. It is common condition with frequent exacerbations and remissions. In most cases, a direct cause is not identified. Stress is one of the factors which might precipitate an episode of urticaria. A combination of correct anti-histaminic tablets for a few months help in reducing the severity and frequency of these hives. Start application of a soothing anti-pruritic calamine lotion to relieve the itch. In certain cases a few Food tests are advised to rule out ant internal causation of the same. Hope this helps!take care...

I am 37 years old. I had to have an emergency appendectomy July 31. I have had consistent bowel removal problems ever since the surgery. It hurts to use the bathroom and I have had an anal fissure twice as a result. My quality of life is horrible because I am in pain from using the bathroom most of the majority of the time.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor Look, the problem you are facing right now, is only due to constipation. You should take some green leafy vegetables. Try to take some high fiber diet. You should start a laxative agent before bed. It will improve your condition. If the fissure makes any problem, you should apply some antibiotic ointment like Mupirocin. Hope this will be helpful. Regards.

Hi, my friend has had a very deep cough and horse throat for 3 months. She has taken 3 different antibiotic medicines and still doesn t feel good. Her doctor originally said she had bronchial pneumonia and that was in February. Since then he has taken a chest xray and said he might have to put on steroids.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Cough of more than 2 weeks are commonly seen in bronchitis and lung infection. If your chest x-ray is normal, no need to worry about lung infection. 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, she will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Thanks.

My right leg has been painful for over one week. I thought I had sprained a muscle and was taking paracetamol 500mg caplets daily. The pain tonight is very severe in that I can hardly move. The pain extends from the hip to my lower leg. Can you advise? I am male, 77 years old and was recently seen by a doctor who gave me treatment for eczema on both shins.
|
Dear patient, I read your question carefully, and I do understand your concern. I think you are experiencing a Sciatica nerve pain crises. This is an inflammation of sciatica nerve that innervates hips and leg when the nerve root is compressed. This condition is common for persons more than 40 years old, for people who have had physical heavy jobs during life, but this is not a condition. The pain may alleviate, but it is a chronic disease so all that can be done is to keep it in control. I do suggest heat or ice treatment. Choose either one, it depends on you. Repeat every 20 minutes patches with ices or hot water bags to the place where you feel the pain. Acupuncture and massage also helps. If the pain is very, very strong, steroids injections are considered, but these are done in the hospital.Meanwhile you can substitute paracetamol with ibuprofen 600 mg. Take it 3 times a day after meal, and some muscle relaxants which you can buy to your Chat Doctor. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Feel free to write me any time, All the best,

my 8 year old son has had a low grade fever on and off for a week now,along with a dry cough, sleeping a lot, and no appetite. He is drinking a lot of fluids. He has ADHD but meds have been unnecessary this week, so I haven t given them. Does he need antibiotics or sshould we wait a few more days?
|
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Regards -

Hi, I am currently 18 years old right now. I have been coughing non-stop for two weeks now, and sometimes my heart would be aching and I would feel a bit suffocated. I went to my doctor and told him about the coughing. He prescribe me a cough syrup, but it does not work. I tried everything.. and I don t know what to do.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having either bronchitis or lower respiratory tract infection (LETI). As chronic cough (more than 2 weeks) is seen in both these conditions. So consult pulmonologist and get done1. Chest x ray2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out LETI. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. So discuss these things with your doctor and start treatment accordingly.

Degree understand your concerns went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. Most of the cases, premature ejaculation is psychological. For treatment, the psychologist should talk to you and take so many vital details. From this interrogation, psychologists conclude why and how the problem came. Then they advise therapies which are suitable for the problems. You might need psychotherapy and other cognitive behavioral therapies. I can help you through telephone. Please do contact me through customer care of www.ChatDoctor .com for a telephonic consultation session. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. Happy new year.

hi doctor,we are trying for a baby for 2years.when we went to doctor they gave test for both for me and my husbund.in my husbands report the sperm count was up to 7millions/litre,doctor told that it is too low.so he told us to see urology doctor,he gave MAXOZAL medicine for 3 months.is that drug will help to increase the sperm count.are we are going in correct way?plz help us.
|
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern for your husband here you made mistake you wrote \"liter\" I could guess this it may be wrong understanding, in fact the sperm count alone is not the criteria, but other parameters should be considered for this which are missing here, again the count is not that much low, only one sperm needed for conception so keep trying, have a good luck.

what may be the cause of elevated SGPT and SGOT, ive done upper abdomen ultasound ang ecg all results are normal. does protein supplement (for bodybuilding) and dietaty multivitamins affects the level of this?i have done hepatitis test also and negative results.
|
Hi thanks for asking question. Noted you have normal USG and negative viral marker hepatitis test. So fatty liver and hepatitis like condition here not present. Usually protein supplement and multivitamin have no side effect in liver. But according to few articles your supplement should not contain dimethylamylamine or any metal as they can be injurious to liver. Liver also elevated in heart attack. So rule out if having history of that. Myositis like muscular problem or celiac disease like malabsorption syn Chat Doctor. I hope my answer will helpful to you. Take care...

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 8 years ago. I am now experiencing tenderness to the touch on my skin which is different then my normal symptoms from fibro. When I touch my skin if feels as if I am touching a tender bruise and this is all over my body. What could this be indicitive of?
|
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As you have fibromyalgia - fibromyalgia is a condition where there is inflammation in the fibers of the muscles. The muscles contain numerous fibers and based on the contraction of the numerous muscle fibers the muscle performs the movement. Since there is inflammation there is also a pain in the muscles which later happens sometimes. Now muscle is connected to the nerve and also the skin. As the circuit is enclosed in a most complicated fashion transformation of the pain to the nerve, muscle fiber and the skin are vice versa. In my clinical practice patients with fibromyalgia will have not one but numerous issues. Solving each queries slowly one by one helps them to come out of the painful like a provided a better functional life. We start slowly with a combination of 3 major therapies along with Chat Doctor. 1. Meditation2. Physical therapy - ultrasound, TENS and exercises3. Breathing exercise snow this combination along with

I banged my shin a couple of weeks ago and bruised it pretty badly. The bruise got better but there seemed to be an indention in my shin where the bruise was located. Now, there is fluid in this indention. I was wondering if it would be ok to remove this fluid myself with a syringe.
|
Hello, I have studied your case and would not recommend you to do this. Fluid aspiration by needle should be done by trained person and that also in operation theater. I would recommend you to visit an orthopedic surgeon and get his advised. It would be better for you to start antibiotics and hot water fomentation. That will help in dissolving this fluid completely. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are supposed to refer to concentration and attention as two. Attention span for any adult is maximum 30 minutes. Sometimes, a person can be attentive to an interesting thing for more than 30 minutes, such as movies or games. Concentration is attention plus understanding. For this too, span OS below 30 minutes. If you are able to make your studies interesting and based on variable principle, your concentration level can be increased. Concentration comes only when you are interested in what you do. So please be passionate towards what you are doing or do only those things which you are interested in. It is also possible to improve your concentration level with the help of yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http

My son wll was 2 months when he went to the er and they put n iv on his left top hand and he had it for like 4 days and when we left the hospital it looked infected where they took the iv out from. Now my son is 4 months and he has a scar but whenu touch it u can feel like a lump .what can it be
|
Hi there. Thank you for contacting us. This scar is full of scar tissue which is fibrous. That's why it feels like a lump. If it is still red, you may want to use some rose hips or scar medication that is over the counter. My twin nieces, born 9 weeks early, had an IV many weeks. They are now 16 and the scar has gotten longer but causes no problems. Often times we need to exchange one extreme problem for a lesser problem. Catching it early and trying to treat it with skin cream for scars may help since his skin is so young. I hope that helps. Thank you for contacting us.

I just took my blood pressure cause I was feeling kind of tired and it was 98 over 67. Is this considered good or low?

Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your actual blood pressure values are below the normal ranges. You should know that the loss of weight helps to naturally reduce the blood pressure. That is why, you need to discuss with your doctor on the possibility of making some changes to your actual antihypertensive therapy (reduce the dose or even stop one of these Chat Doctor.

**1. Since case is diagnosed which means you are under regular supervision and management.2. For widespread fungal infections one need to take oral antifungal treatments. [clotrimazole, fluconazole, terbinafine]3. Stay away from the sun during peak hours [11 AM to 4 PM] or ensure a good sunscreen applied on the area to limit damages.4. Potato acts as a very good bleaching agent, this would lighten the marks. Make a mixture of tomato juice and lemon juice, apply this mixture daily with a cotton ball. It lightens the skin tone and marks. Keep your body clean and Chat Doctor. Do not share clothing, sports equipment, towels, combs or other personal items [as it is highly contagious]. Use fresh sheets and wear light, loose-fitting clothing. If you suspect that your pet may have fungal infection, avoid touching them and bring them to see a veterinarian immediately. Garlic, apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, colloidial silver, powdered licorice root are effective natural antifungal treatment but if the symptoms persist or worsen after more than two weeks of home remedy treatment, it is strongly advised that you see a doctor.PS. take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist, get your vitamin B12 level checked, as its deficiency can cause darkening of skin. . To get proper result, you are suggested to use any cream for 3 to 4 months. You may ask for prescription

iam 51 years old female.my bp was 142/90.then it cam e down to135/80.iam a strict vegetarian. i eat healthy food. iam taking homeo pathy for bp. i lost 4 kgs.what else should i do to bring down my bp to normal. i become tensed on seeing the bp monitor.
|
Dear MadamThanks for your query. The BP of 135/80mmHg is not something which gives you any kind of tension or anxiety. A BP of 140/90 do not warrant any medication, however lifestyle modification is required for every individual with BP more than 120/80 mmHg. These include regular exercise, optimization of weight, moderation of alcohol and salt intake & relaxation exercise. Feel free to discuss further. SincerelySukhvinder

Sir, I suffer from premature ejaculation for the past 8 years. Comparitively I am not fully satisfied with the erection what I had years back. After udergoing unani treatment for the past 1 year, I feel the erection better at times (not always) but I feel the premature ejaculatin getting worse day by day. For ex. while driving 2 wheeler , if I tried to mastubrate without the help of hands, but making use of the vibration of the vehicle alone, then too I get the semen ejaculated. Is musli power extra solve the problem ? Plz advice. I am from Rajsthan
|
Hello, There are certain things which you can do to prevent premature ejaculation. You can masturbate 1 or 2 hours prior to have intercourse, this will increase your time of ejaculation. You can also use over the counter sprays and medicated condoms which increases time of ejaculation. Furthermore, you also need to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles as well and zinc supplements also help in some cases. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
