HELLO, my doctor just told me my ldl is over 200, he prescribed zocor. After reading up on statins I am very fearful, I have been doing natural things such as resversatrol,lecithin,milk thistle and garlic/nacin supplements for a few weeks, the test was done a week ago, but i was not taking the mention supplements regularly. I am now. I do feel when my chlorlestral goes up (funny symptoms) so I was not surprised that it was high, i didnt expect that high. Question; can I just continue the supplements or must I take the medicine he prescribed. I also had been eating pretty badly for a couple of months stressed/lonelines, but have done some diet changes and am excercising more.

Hi, Lipoprotein is a combination of proteins and lipids (fat). By this combination fat moves in the blood to reach the cell membrane to have its action. So Lipoprotein acts as a carrier of Fat and other enzymes also. There are different verities of Lipoproteins like LDL, HDL,VLDL and Triglycerides. Out which is High density Lipoprotein (HDL) is high in percentage it is good. If others are high it is not good. Color is a statin group of tab used to reduce the bad lipoproteins and enhances good lipoprotein. Supplementary therapy results not known, whereas Color is proved Chat Doctor. Better to continue color, associated with diet control and exercises. Zocor will not because for stress or ? Loss of appetite. Regarding loneliness - change of lifestyle will be helpful Best wishes

Pls Help - a few hours ago I choked on a piece of Clif Bar, I inhaled and swallowed at the same time and it went deep into my windpipe - I coughed and coughed but I dont think I coughed it all out...ever since then I have developed sinus congestion and a pain in my right lung. I am breathing ok, but am nervous about falling asleep - will I wake up, will it get worse, do I have pneumonia? Any info will be helpful, thank you in advance.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In your case, we need to rule out aspiration of foreign body (piece of cliff bar) into the lungs. This can cause chest congestion and aspiration pneumonitis. You are having right sided chest pain, so possibility of pneumonia is high. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and Bronchoscopy. Bronchoscopy is not only diagnostic, but it will also take out the aspirated material (therapeutic) if present. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have pain behind my knees which travels down into my feet, particularly after standing for long periods of time. Also when i get up in the morning. However, pain seems to subside when i walk around for a while. Certain bending positions at times seem to agrevate the problem. Can you help. Thanks.RegardsColleen

Hi, There are two possibilities If you have a history of fall or repeated back movements or low back pain then there is a radiating pain from a pinched nerve in lower back, most probably L4-L5 and L5-S1. And if there is a swelling, warmth or tenderness on the back of your knee then there is a bursitis in the popliteal fossa (back of your knee), compressing the nerve, hence the pain. For low back pain you can have hot packed, back exercise (avoid bending movements) and Physiotherapy will help you. However, an x-ray is advised for the verification. In case of bursitis, apply cold packs, and an examination needs to be done to know the cause. You need to take rest. Walking and mild knee exercises will be beneficial in both the cases. Hope this solves your problem. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am 34 years old, 130 lbs in good health and just had my third baby 6 weeks ago. I have been having minor aching pain in right jaw an thought I may have been grinding my teeth or clenching my jaw at night as I have a prior history of this. I looked yesterday because pain has increased and there is a hard lump under my gum line in my mouth under my back molar (it almost feels like bone or another tooth) that was not there previously. Any idea what it could be? I have regular dental check ups every 6 months and nothing like this was on prior xrays. Should I make an appointment to see my dentist? Cold it have anything to do with hormones post pregnancy?
|
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Your clinical symptoms suggest that you have developed the lesion in the mouth due to hormonal changes in pregnancy, Fix an appointment with the Dentist and get a thorough clinical checkup done, take an OPG radiograph which will help to confirm the diagnosis and plan the appropriate treatment. Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouth wash rinses. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Take care!

Hello, Thanks for posting your query. As you are in your younger age, orthodontic appliances can correct your teeth within short duration of time. Initially, the appliances can hurt your gums as well as mucosa. But, once you get adapted, pain relieves. Dontt worry about what others the.NK, you can go for transparent/ceramic braces to avoid bad outlook. Please do consult an orthodontist for further reference. Take care

hi, Dr Sb, my sister born 6 month immature baby but he died during pregnancy her so much blood has wasted and and after that she is not passing urin, we consult with DRs they say she is on kidny failure side we as well dialysis of her not response please help me out that whats the actual problemdid transplantation is the final option or we have another substitute wait for your early response
|
HelloThanks for query. Based on your statement I would state that your sister has landed in Acute Renal Failure following severe postpartum hemorrhage. This is due to hypo volume shock due to sudden loss of large quantity of blood during PPH. Normally in acute renal failure kidney function gets to normal after correction of blood loss and dialysis and takes 2-3 weeks for complete recovery provided she had no pre-existing kidney disease.

For the past couple of months I have been experiencing pain in my stomach. This pain came about 4 times a week and it lasted approximately 2 minutes. It was excruciating, but it passed. When I spoke with my doctor she stated it was probably heartburn and recommended using prilosec. Ive tried that plus other over the counter meds. I do take alot of tums as well. Last Thursday I was experiencing that pain and then the pain went to my upper left side of my abdomen, where it has been constant sharp pain. Ive taken naproxen and some hydrocodone. It mainly takes the edge off. I do have an appt on wed as that was the soonest available. Is there anything else you could recommend for pain until my appt
|
Youmust investigate it seems from your statement that your doctor said it is heartburn means that he did not find any problem but still confirm from your doctor for gastritis duodenitis gall bladder liver or digestive enzyme problem if nothing you can consult gallery specialist doctor to get blood serum tests for specific antibodies for milk wheat potato and common food you takes the food protein reaction with body protein have same type of problems after detection you with Chat Doctor.

I have been on Cymbalta for 9 months now 60 mg. I am so depressed again, see dr. tomorrow. On effexor I became this addictive person and never want that to happen again. Cymbalta was awesome in the beginning but i feel immune to it again. I heard about Vybrid and how it works for him. I am already overweight and cymbalta does continue to help with pain but no longer the depression . Would Vybrid be good for me. I need to feel better I am not functioning well with day to day I am not suicidal at all just want to feel better help!
|
Hi there ~ I am sorry you are going through a lot with your depression. There is hope however since there is room to go up higher on Cymbal ta to a 120 mg daily dosing in divided doses of 60 mg each in the AM and PM. Please try this for 2-3 weeks, and you might see improvement. Hybrid is a new medicine of an older generation medicine that is useless almost, i.e. it is old wine in new bottle. I have not had much experience with it however it does make you Chat Doctor. I would suggest that if the higher dose of cymbal ta is not helping, you might want to switch to Wellbutrin if you have not had a history of seizures in the past. Also try other things like psychotherapy, yoga, meditation, Dayana and daily physical exercise. They have proven evidence in treating depression in medical studies. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day !

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... HI doctor I am suffering from breathing problems since 8 months. I had a bacterial/viral lungs infection 8 months back with whooping cough, never consulted doctor never took any antibiotic. My cough was there for 3 months then it become asthma like symptoms like fast breathing, tightness in breathing, i get these breathing problems two to 3 times a day. I am under broncodilater and corticosteroid under the advice of doctor. I learnt from net that antibiotics like azithromyzin can be used to cure adult onset asthma so is it feasible. I am totally depressed in my life, as I was in total health 8 months back. My age now is 26 years. Never has asthma bronchitis or any breathing problems ever in my life got it afer the lung infection. Please help me, Doctor
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are not having asthma. Possibility of post infectious bronchitis is more likely in your case. Bronchitis (inflammation of airways) is common after pneumonia. Treatment of bronchitis should be done according to severity of the disease. So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will tell you about severity of the disease. You may need longer acting inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). N acetyl cysteine (NAC) is also beneficial in bronchitis. Azithromycin can be tried for 5 days. But its long term effects are not positive. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

hello i am 32 yrs old and starting this morning i had a slight pain in the right side of chest,, pain has increased and spread to,right arm,right back,and right neck,my mother had a heart attack at 38 and had similiar symptoms,is it possibe that heart attck pain can last all day and increase over 12 hour period
|
Hello, I would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to the heart. Is the chest pain triggered by deep breathing or body movements? This would indicate a musculoskeletal pain. In such a case, ibuprofen would help. Anyway, if the pain persists, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam, a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

hi am santosh from india.i hav pumped my testis many time and all the the time semen has came out but yesterday i pumped my testis now also semen came but my ptestis colour hav been slightly changed to brown.i want to know the effects of pumping testis in hand n do i became a father if i hav sexual contact with my wife.
|
Hello, Blood in the semen, or hematospermia is a cause for brown ejaculate. Minor tear is small vessels during ejaculation can be a cause. In most cases it will settle by itself even without any treatment. If symptoms persists better to consult a urologist and get evaluated. In that case we have to ruled out infective causes like prostates. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

I just noticed a good sized area of swelling from my mid-ear down to across my jaw halfway towards my chin. It feels fairly hard and when I turn my head I feel tightness. It also occurs when I open my mouth.My ear has a different feeling, like it is a little plugged. No sharp pain involved...just a dull feeling.
|
Dear Sir/Madam have gone through your query and read your symptoms. In my opinion, you need to inform us1 is the swelling of recent onset, or it has been there for long.2 do you have any difficulty in swallowing.3 is there excess or less than normal saliva in your mouth,4 is it tender on touching5 any other complains like fever associated. If you have yes to these questions than probably you need to see an ENT surgeon at the earliest, as it could be a growth. I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.

Hi, the other day I was eating a mango, pulling the fruit off with my bottom teeth when the string bits hurt my gum real bad.. now I have this growth/flap in front of my tooth .. I can move it and fold it back plus I have been having really bad breathe since.. not sure if it is from the way I ate the mango.. or maybe even my lip ring that tends to sit in that position when my mouth isn t moving. Thanks
|
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI would like to clarify that eating mango or any other fruit never results in gingivitis i.e. inflammation of gingival. Its just because of trauma due to that fiber of mango & it resulted in inflammation. You should go for oral prophylaxis. In future also try to maintain proper oral hygiene by regular brushing & flossing. Also use 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash once daily. Consult your dentist for further treatment. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.

hello, i had sex with my boyfriend and during the intercourse we noticed that the condom was hallway off. The head and top were still in the condom but not the button part, he never ejaculated and the condom was not broken nor completely off. Still, I was worried so I toke the morning after pill around 2 hours later. am I pregnant?
|
Hello dear. Understand your concerns. Not to worry dear. There is no chance of the pregnancy in your sexual act. As condom was remained on the top, less chance of sperm to enter into the vaginaAlong with that you also took morning after pill with 2 hours. It is highly effective in preventing the pregnancy around 95-97%. So just be relaxed, take healthy diet, take healthy diet, do regular exercise. Period may be delayed/earlier and excessive bleeding will occur due to hormonal imbalance caused by pill Hope this may help noncontact Chat Doctor for further health query Best regards

My husband inhaled dry chlorine, he opened the container and the fumes hit him in the face. He insists he is fine....his eyes were red and watery but have cleared up. When he talks he sounds a little raspy, he says he doesnt have chest pains but does feel very little restriction on his breathing says he can breath. He does feel some muscus there now. What should I do? Chrissy
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. He is having inhalation of chlorine powder. This kind of exposure can cause inflammatory reaction in airways. This is known as bronchitis. Usually, this is self limiting in nature. So no need to worry about some mucus sensation in the chest. You can give him simple anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. He will mostly recover within 2-3 days. But if he develops cough, chest pain and breathing difficulty then immediately consult doctor because he might need inhaled treatment. But at present, no treatment is required. Also tell him to

I have been having pain and numbness in my right hand and arm for about three tears now. It comes and goes. But has become worse since I had my daughter two years ago. It is hurting again and I have notices when I lay down on my left side, it tingled and hurts when I exhale and seems to ease when I inhale. It is from my elbow to my ring and pinky fingers.
|
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You have got tingling sensation and numbness of right hand from elbow down, more to ring and pinky fingers since 3 years, increased since delivery of child 2\u00a0years ago. It appears that it is a pressure symptom probably due to cervical spondylosis. Other causes are anemia, neuritis due to hypertension or diabetes. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment, You may have to get the MRI, glucose tolerance test, etc. besides other routine tests for confirmation. Besides I advise you to follow some diet recommendations as avoid taking more of potato, other tubers, tomato, coconut, Cali flower, egg, fish, seafoods as they tend to increase pain threshold. Avoid having pillow while sleeping. Wishing for a quick recovery, and thanks for calling.

I fell into desk top and bruised my rib on the right side near my waist This happened about one week ago and I don t see any bruising but feel deep pain. I am 84 and a healthy woman normally. Could I have bruised my lung or what is behind a lower rib? Do you recommend an xray?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since your age is 84, there are high chances of rib fracture. Because of osteoporosis, flat bones like ribs are easy to fracture even with minimal pressure. So we need to rule out rib fracture in your case. Another possibilities in your case are1. Pulmonary contusions. 2. Pneumothorax3. Muscular injury. All of the above including rib fracture can cause deep pain. So better to get done chest x-ray to rule out all these. If chest x-ray is normal, you should not worry much. You are having muscular injury only. Better to follow these for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant. 4. Apply warm water pad on affected site. 5. Wear chest belt to avoid mobilization of affected area.

Our four year old daughter has started to loose her finger nails,the complete nail lifts and gradually becomes loose and falls off.This started about two months ago and now we are seeing nail\"no.4\" start to do the same.Any suggestions or reasons?thank you.
|
Hi...it could be a psoriasis or a fungal infection of the nails. Nails are scientifically called skin appendages. Usually, skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

trying to conceive from 7months.Had an HSG .results came back normal.Right now am on clomid ,the very 1st cycle on clomid from day 5 to day 9.And a premarin on day 9th and 11th.Today s day 12th and am having severe pelvic cramps and back pain and also severe thigh pain.I usually get very bad cramps and pain 6-7days before my period s due.This is happening for the very 1st time.
|
Hello Welcome HSG may cause pain lower abdomen, but you have not mentioned the month in which the procedure was done. Premarin is a conjugated estrogen, so it is better to take evasion which contains estradiol vale rate. Estrogens are taken from 6th to 9th day of the cycle along with camphene citrate which is given from second to 6th day of the cycle. You can take tablet metal spas for the cramps and thigh pain under doctors prescription. Get proper investigations done for the infertility treatment like FSH, LH, Estradiol, Progesterone, prolactin, Thyroid profile and follicular studies etc. Best wishes and good luck

Hi, i have son, 4,5 years old. About 1,5 years ago, i found one lymph node at the right side of his neck. Then by the time, it became 3. The size of these nodes has enlarged. The last time i checked to pediatrician, the size was 1,5 cm. Our doctor also did the PPD (Test skin for TB), and he measured and result induration was 15mm. Then we also had a quantiferon test, result is positif, point is 66 (if i m not wrong). He had done an x ray, which taken from side and there is an infiltrat. But our doctor said all are normal and it s not TB. The 3 nodes still at the same size until today. I m still confused as all the result actually was really said normal. But Doctor said it s ok. What should i do? is it really normal in toddler? For your info, his height is 110 cm, weight 18,8 kg. He is healthy, eat a lot although skinny, active. Thanks before
|
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry. Enlarged multiple lymph nodes can be normal at 4.5 years of age or could be due to tuberculosis. For tuberculosis, in your child mountain is positive, quantifier test is positive and there are infiltrates on X-ray chest. This all points towards tuberculosis. We also have to look for ESR which is increased in tuberculosis. If there is a history of contact with tuberculosis patient, then also there is increased probability of tuberculosis in child. I suggest you to do ESR levels in child and revert with report and also tell whether there is any history of contact with tuberculosis patient. I hope this will help you. Take care.

|
Hi, I will suggest you to apply hot pack twice a day. And start active exercises of leg and upper body, you can do cycling, swimming, but don't go jogging, and back strengthening exercises along with cat and camel exercise, core strengthening will help you. Do keep your weight under check, and eat protein and calcium rich diet, avoid fried items. Hope you will find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, i have been experiencing chest discomfort for the past few weeks. It was as if something is pressing onto my chest area. it would ocasionally make me feel breadthless and pain as well. i have been coughing for the past one year already. May i know what is the cause of it? Could it be some symtoms of lung cancer? Thanks.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chronic cough (cough since 1 year), breathing difficulty, chest pressure, pain etc. are more suggestive of lung diseases like bronchitis, lung infection (pneumonia or tuberculosis) and lung cancer. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is must for the diagnosis of lung infection and lung cancer. PFT is needed for bronchitis. You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) based on the reports. If you are smoker then you should quit smoking as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query numbness in gums after root canal treatment can be due to effect of anesthesia or due to nerve injury don't be worried so much I will suggest you to do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day, and you can take medicine like erosion forte by consulting with your local doctor. If you numbness persists then consult your dentist for examination. Hope this will help you.

My father in-law was just diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. he is 72 years old and the stage they told him was a little under stage 1. They are doing no treatment at this time waiting to see how it progresses. IS that normal? and if so what are his chance of the cancer cells not spreading? thank you!

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Treatment depends on type of cancer and stage of cancer. In chronic lymphocytes leukemia wait and watch approach is used. In acute leukemia treatment should be given in all cases. Treatment of choice is chemotherapy. Bone marrow transplantation is the best treatment for all type of bone marrow cancer.

Yes hi have apain 4 3days the pain has been under my right shoulder blade, to day it has migrated to the fro t of my chest to include the lower sternum and the short ribs on right side I have n clue as to what started this I am a 61 year old dissabled. Vet. Any how hurts to take deep breaths and moving a d bending those areas of the body are to die for!
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you have pain beneath the shoulder blade I will advise you to take a cardio examination along with x-ray due to your age factor. Once the cardiac clearance is found then this pain looks more of the pinched nerve in the cervical spine or trapezius inflammation. For which a thorough clinical examination is advised. Also, most cases have muscular pain and are treated successfully with physical therapy in my clinical practice. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.

I have already lost everything and have been without any therapy, I have night sweats anxiety and mood swings not to mention no sex life, i take aspirin daily, along with fish oil and vitamin c and b complex, i also am taking dong quai and damiana for night sweats, but it is not working like i had hoped, what can i do to help me feel better?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your problem description. You are a victim of anxiety and mood swings, and you say that these are available for some days. The medicines you are taking probably might never cure your problems. You are wasting your money as well as deteriorating your health, mental and physical. You should consult a psychiatrist immediately and take his prescription. Furthermore, you will be needing psychotherapy and yoga along with psychotropic medications. Hope this answer partially satisfies you. Available for further clarifications. Good luck

Hope this will help you for sure. Regards.

Tuberculosis, anemia, infection, autoimmune diseases, malignancies, paraprotienemia etc. causes high ESR. In your case you may have autoimmune disease or anemia. You should investigate.

|
HelloS perm ejaculation during or after urination may be due to reasons like overexcited state, straining etc. You should try relaxation technique and avoid provocative literature and videos. You should try to be calm and go for yoga, mediation. You should try to engage yourself in your job. You may need psychological counselling if needed. It is also important to evaluate for constipation etc. which may lead to straining. You will be fine with above-mentioned measures. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

I have a bicuspid aortic valve with moderate to severe regurge and my wife tells me I have the hiccups when sleeping and its related to my valve. Im a 54 year old male who rides over 100 miles a week on my bike. Is this a problem or indicative of my valve getting worse?
|
Hi, If you didn't have enlarged heart chambers and at least moderately enlarged aorta during your last check up and you don't notice any health deterioration during this period, then it is not likely that your hiccups are caused by bicuspid aorta. But actually it may be a sleep apnea and not a hiccup, so I would advise you to see a doctor to evaluate if it is a real hiccup or sleep apnea. Take care, Come back if you have any further questions

Hi My name is Angela, I am 5 2 197 pounds.....I have 3 putuitary tumor surgeries in the past 6 years... the last one they wasn t able to remove it all because it is around the left cartoid artery ..... well for the past 1 1/2 I have been dealing with severe headaches that have become progressively worst and Im always at the ER...

As of now I feel a pain on the left side of my neck and I have to hold my arm down... so my head won t hurt.....Please help
|
Angela, Im sorry to hear about all your trouble. It's hard to answer your questions with the limited information. Couple of more questions. 1. pituitary tumor? What was the pathology that they found? 2. severe headaches? Have had these prior to the surgery? Do you have a history of headaches? What have you taken for the headaches? Can you tell me more about this? 3. pain on the left side of my neck and I have to hold my arm down? - could you be a little more specific and tell us what happens? 4. what kind of imaging studies have they done? MRI certainly, what about MRA and MRV. Stay well!

I am diabetic but lately I get so sleepy in the early afternoon. It has been getting worst over the last 5 years I can barely stay awake. I am also on a CPAP machine and still get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night. Could this be something else causing this?
|
Hello, Diabetes may not cause daytime sleepiness. It may be due to insomnia or narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea or anxiety. Sleep apnea may also cause daytime sleepiness. Use a CPAP machine, use oxygen supplementation. Using the tablet Mod alert may useful. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, My lad is of 3 and half years old, reporting vomiting for first 3 days and loose motions (last 3 days, though not frequent, but twice in a day) since past one week (intermittently)- and complains of stomach pain before vomiting, his food intake is limited, as he complains that his stomach is full even if he takes small potion of rice/ food please suggest
|
Your son is probably suffering from acute gastroenteritis. Most commonly it is due to a viral cause. The cause does not need to be treated and becomes ok in 3-7 days without any treatment. But the loss of salt and water from the body needs to be replenished. ORS has to be given to prevent dehydration. You can give curd or yogurt but avoid milk based products for a week or so. Give him ODEM (ondansetron) syrup to relieve his vomiting. Demonic syrup will relieve his abdominal pain.

For about a 3 days I have been Experiencing an unconfortable pain. All the way across my lower abdomen until tonight. Now it is so bad that I can move, cough, laugh, or use the bathroom at all. About a month ago my grassroots Sind i have very small gallstones and some sludge in my gallbladder . I Alison has PCOS this pan is unbearable now itat 10 on a pain scale I have a high pain Level. What could be causing this and should I go to the ER tonight or would it be ok to wait till Monday and go to my regular doctor?
|
Hi there, Thanks for writing in. I would advise you to rush to the ER as soon as possible;especially since you have unbearable pain, and you can't cough or move because of the pain. It would be best to rule out perforation peritonitis which is an emergency. Since you have a history of gall stones, it could have led to inflammation of the gall bladder, which could have led to perforation and peritonitis. Any other symptoms like, fever, constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension etc. Get well soon

i had a Cbc blood test last week and my white blood cells value is 3.49 which is low, platelet count was 139 , neutrophils 37.6 low, monocytes 14.0 high, eosinophils 5.7 high, basophils 2.6 high and absolute neutrophils 1.31 low... Also creating and bun elevate..... Worried this is something serious... Referred to a hematologist.. What tests will they order?
|
Your white blood cell count is slightly low (4.00-is lower limit of normal range for an adult). Your platelet counts are almost normal - so nothing to worry about your platelets. 14% monocytes are on higher side though. I would suggest a repeat Complete blood count (CBC) WITH PERIPHERAL SMEAR EXAMINATION. This test would highlight any problems in your blood profile. You have not mentioned your BUN and creatinine values ? Do you have any previous kidney disease ?

Hi, My son is 2 years old, and he is suffering from cough & cold very badly from last day. I have discussed with our child specialist and he asked us to give my son omnacortil drops, levolin. I want to know what the medicine is?? Is it safe for him ?? Plz suggest ... I m worried because the Doc said that my son has some breathing problem... Thanks, Swati Sinha
|
Hi Dear Welcome to the Chat Doctor, Antihistaminc decongestant medicines along with some antipyretic to be given with proper doses, Antibiotics may also be added if the child is febrile or the breathing symptoms are increasing. Nebulized form of bronchodilators and some steroids may help in getting the speedy recovery. Because the allergic bronchitis is an inflammatory disease, so often steroids are required to get the quick ant inflammatory response and thus quick recovery. Omnacortil Chat Doctor. Hope the query is answered. Thanks

I suffer from fibromyalgia, sciatica in my left leg, my c2 and c3 are herniated as well as my l3, l4 and l5 with a tear in my l5. Most of these injuries were brought on from an accident. I also have a deviated coccyx. I think I would benefit from the fentanyl patch however my Dr retired 10 years ago and finding a doctor in Ontario Canada is impossible. What can you suggest
|
for severe pain, first thing essential is complete bed rest in supine position without pillow and body and legs in most comfortable position posture which subjectively keeps you comfortable. Use hot fomentation, application of muscle relaxant gel locally, oral chloraxazone or carisoprodol tabs twice daily after meals, Pantoprazole on empty stomach. Use cervical collar in daytime and lumbosacral belt in daytime to be removed in bed. Consult a spine surgeon for operative treatment of herniated discs, cervical or lumbar first whichever is more severe. Hy Chat Doctor.

Several months ago I experienced excruciating chest pain after swallowing some milk, ? esophageal spasm, and then passed out, for several minutes? while sitting in a recliner, went to ER and they could not give me a diagnosis, EKG normal. Now I have those pains regularly and some palpitations and shortness of breath with those. Do I need a cardiac workup or is it still the ? spasms causing my heart to do this? I am 45 y female. My father died at 50 of massive heart attack.
|
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I carefully passed through your question and would explain that a cardiac arrhythmia can not be excluded considering the palpitations and shortness of breath. That is why I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests

Hi my name is Brittany and I ve just turned 19 on the 16th of this month. I now have no Medicaid and in need of care for my ear infection. I don t have a job and my family doesn t make much money. Is there any way I can get back on Medicaid and how much will it cost?? I really need dental care as well for my wisdom teeth. They ve been bothering me as well. Please help. I really need health insurance.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, It is possible that your ear infection is complicated leading to infection of the bone behind the ear called the mastoid bone. You require an appropriate antibiotic. The right antibiotic can be selected by doing a culture and sensitivity testing. Please consult your ENT surgeon for the same. You can take any over the counter painkiller after checking the dosage. Thank you.

Hello, I have been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis; also the beginning of a cervical hernia is showing on my RMI. I am a woman, 29 years old, and have had pain and contractions in my upper back/neck for more years than I can remember
|
Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of cervical nerve root there can be pain. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication like pregabalin and methylcobalamine can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights. Continue your Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. If nerve compression becomes symptomatically severe then surgical decompression will give permanent relief. You can attach your MRI report or film so that I can help you better. 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.

My mom is 65yrs old and two weeks back she had her hyterctomy done ( total hysterctomy) for adenocarcinoma of endometrium diagonised as stage 1c ( invasion in more than half of myometrium. one doctor has recomended chemo/radiation .i need to give her a treatment without chemo or radiation as she is very weak and I dont think she will be able to take it. please help me with a treatment without chemo or radiation( all nodes are fine)it is clear cell carcinoma it seems.please help with an answer
|
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor I appreciate your decision of not going for chemo and radiotherapy. This is the time to improve her immunity so that her body itself can fight with diseased cells. Chemo and radio will kill immune cells also with cancer cells. So you should plan such a treatment which improves immunity and also prevents regeneration of cancer cells. We got very good results witChatDoctorbination of HOMO EO AND OZONE therapy. For any help contact [email protected]

About 2 glasses of bright red blood passed on urination after fall hitting right side of back below ribs. Pain constant and severe in area of impact, and frequent passage of blood since fall. What could cause this? is it kidney injury, and if so what are the chances of the kidney regaining its functionality?
|
Hi, Presence of blood in urine is always a condition which needs to be taken seriously. As you have suffered from trauma and due to that there is bleeding in the urine. But that is an emergency condition. You are advised to visit the emergency room as soon as possible so that any damage can be correct to ensure healthy functioning of kidneys. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I gave my boyfriend a blow job and he came in my mouth and I swallowed and then drank some tea. About maybe an hour later I had to change my tampon and so I put the new tampon applicator in my mouth to hold while I was pulling the old one out, and then put the new tampon inside me. Could I be pregnant?

Hello, I really appreciate your concern. You can not be pregnant due to three reasons

I have a rash that has developed in my groin on both sides. It did itch in the beginning but for the past few days Ive been spraying Lotrimin AF on it and that burns a bit. I also shave the area probably twice a week. Ive been in the gym excessively for the past month so I believe it is jock itch. Can you advise me on this?
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint rashes over both sides of groin that itches and red are commonly due to Jock Itch and can be commonly due to fungal infection. It can also be due to moisture accumulation at the site of groin folds leading to bacterial proliferation. I would suggest you to wash the area 2 to 3 times a day with a mild soap and water. Keep the area Chat Doctor. . Wear loose fitting and cotton undergarments. You can apply a combination of Clotrimazole ointment like Origin along with anti-biotic ointment and steroid ointment. Limit the workout to prevent rashes due to friction and rubbing. You can also apply Zinc oxide ointment over the area. In case of no improvement in a week consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated, and he can advise you oral antifungals or antibiotics depending on the cause of rashes along with topical treatment. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.

Hi. I have a rash that started on the tops of my legs but has spread to the tops of my arms, belly and neck. It looks a bit like a heat rash, very raised and itchy, spreading fast. The only thing I can think of changing is that I went out for an italian on Friday night, could I be allergic to something from there?
|
Hi, You have itchy rash on whole body. The lesions may be elevated and discrete. I think probably you have lichen ultimatum.... also known as popular urticaria. It is a hypersensitive skin reaction to insect bite.... You consult dermatologist for right diagnosis and perfect treatment. Antihistamines like levocetirizine and steroids in tampering dose might improve the disease. Apply mild steroid cream on the lesions. You may be alright after few weeks. I hope you got my answer. Thanks. Chat Doctor.

I am 51 yrs old -- male. I have had problems with prostatitis before. Now I am very worried... I just found a lump (gumball size) on my left side in pubic hair area. It is causing a lot of pain in that area. Also the pain seems to be radiating outwards. This seems a sudden thing. Produces a pulling or tugging type of pain. Seems to be an infection type of fighting off feeling in my whole body. Also seem to be urinating more often. I am just surprised by the size of lump + the suddeness of it!! Also the pain aspect has me worried. I have no $$, no job, + no insurance -- so going to the doctor is not possible right now.
|
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 public lump is -Direct inguinal hernia-which popped out suddenly.-This is known to cause the pulling/stretching pain / and radiating pain also. -Frequent urination confirms-with this lump - that its -Direct Inguinal Hernia and not an infective lump of the public are.-Treatment -would be-a-Consult a Surgeon and confirm its diagnosis.b-USG would confirm diagnosis-but not essential.c-Even simple rest and Tight underwear with brace support would help you.d-Or Simple Direct Inguinal hernia-brace or support would take care of this lump. And there is no need to spend on urgent doctor consultation. But planned care with ER-surgeon, with watch on the lump symptoms is a must in long run. -Hope this would help you to recover from worry-some query. Wish you a Fast Recover. Wellcome to Chat Doctor again.

My six year old son has a high fever (102-103), he has been complaining of sharp pains in his stomach and at times it gets very painful for him. He has also been vomitting and the last time he did there were black specs in the vomit and something tinted red, which I assume is probably blood since he hasnt had any food for a few days just liquid. I know these things could possibly just be part of a stomach flu, but should I take him in to get checked out or give it more time? It started Saturday night and its now mid day on Monday...
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Yes, your sons symptoms sound concerning enough that he should be checked out promptly. It is possible he may have something more than a stomach flu, such as appendicitis. Even if it is not appendicitis, he should be evaluated since he is possibly vomiting blood and has a high fever. You will feel better for having taken him in, and it is certainly warranted at this point. Please let me know if there is more I can add Chat Doctor.

Hello, I have a lump that comes and goes on my scrotum. No pain, no itching, when it appears its only for about less than a minute and when it goes away it kind of dissolves back in to my scrotums. Is this normal or do you have any idea of what it could be?? Im a bit worried. It cant be cancer right? since it \"goes away\"...
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Its inguinal hernia which causes a lump without pain and goes off.2. It generally comes when you are standing and lifting heavy objects / sometimes even just standing - with the intro abdominal pressure this thing causes.3.No not cancer or anything similar - do not worry.4. But needs attention, the lump you are feeling is bowel - web gets strangulated it's an emergency.5. Go to GP and get ultrasound inguinal and scrotum done - the doctor will check with cough reflex, and get the needful treatment - its operative, mesh placement. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

For the past yr and a half my husband has been having what we think are panic attacks. The dr he saw last said depression after doing a cbc & glucose level test- all normal. He breaks into cold sweats, shakes, has headaches , is nauseated. Recently he s started having chest pains from the back of his neck down to his jaw, left arm & ending at his chest. He s lost over ten lbs in a week & not trying to- he does eat but that s the only thing that gets him out of the bed. he is in the bed 15-20 hrs a day unless he has to be up. He says he is always tired & when he is asleep & i touch him to wake him he wakes up startled & disoriented. Says he has the spells in his sleep as well, as he still feels bad once he wakes, when sleeping use to help them stop. He can not function normally at all. In fact he s lost jobs because of this and no one can tell us what s going on. He s not under any stress & he s not unhappy. Can someone point us in the right direction?
|
Hi there, Thanks for writing in. It is quite possible that he is suffering from depression. However, before diagnosing, I would suggest that he gets his thyroid function test, liver function test, renal function test, It B12 levels done. If all these are normal, I feel it would be most appropriate for your husband to visit a psychologist /psychiatrist for the right guidance. In the meantime, I would suggest that he also sign up for yoga classes if you have a good yoga instructor in your area. Deep breathing exercises does wonder for the body. Hope this helps. Have a great day.

hello iam kapilachander, my mother affected by breast cancer we have treated with 2 rounds of Chemotherapy . in first round has 6 cycles and then after 6 months we gone for check up the doctors report say that CA cells spreads to lungs as well as bone marrow in rib cage. in this 2013 January we treat my mother with 2nd round of chemotherapy with 3 cycles as January.febuary and march. now my question is this treatment is enough or further we have continue with chemotherapy. or else i may go to Ayurveda treatment. 1. if iam move to Ayurveda treatment is there is possible of any side effect to my mother? 2. else iam may continue both the chemotheraphy as well as ayurveda treatment is this possible to my mother since my mothers age is 60 years old? plese give me a solution to me... if there is some other treatment like radiotherapy is good for my mother to cure the Cancer plz give me some good solution because iam in total confusion.....
|
1. Cancer has spread to lungs and rib cage, Metastasis is there, which itself means grave condition, thus prognosis is not good.2. This is stage IV of CA and whether TNM Classification was done?3. Were Tumor Markers test carried out, and whether they find out that CA is hormone positive or negative?4. Any family history?, her lifestyle, any addiction, use of OC pills, Weight, diet rich in fat?5. At this age and stage apart from medicine she needs emotional and group support6. Ayurveda medicines can be given along with Chemo/Radio-Therapy which helps in slowing the progress of the Tumor., you can contact with an Ayurveda Physician there for the same.

I have a degenerative neck condition, but recently, my head has an intense pressure-feeling, and I want to know if this is directly related or something else. I also have a swollen area behind my left ear, right at the bottom of my hairline, and that lymph node feels a little swollen as well. The head pressure makes me feel disconnected and disoriented, and makes my head hurt. Thank you.
|
Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion your symptoms are not probably due to your degenerated discs, but the swelling behind ear is definitively a thing to be concerned about, please visit an ENT surgeon in your area to see what that swelling is all about. 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. Special note-Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.

I have stage 4 breast cancer, I had a pet scan done and the doctors discover that I had a 1.0 nodule in my right upper lung. I do smoke, can ethis be mestastsis from the breast cancer, or the kind of cancer you get from smoking? Im having alot of pain in the back under shoulder blade, and when i cough i can feel my lungs hurting.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. If you have a history of breast cancer and the PET CT scan shows a nodule in right lung upper lobe then the likelihood of a metastasis is much more than a new cancer in the lung. Breast cancer might spread to any other organ system and any suspicious area on the PET CT can is investigated for a metastasis first. Please discuss the lung nodule with your doctor and follow recommended treatment and follow up. If it is a small nodule then treatment response is better. Pain during cough is less likely from a small nodule and might be more related to your general condition. However, a nodule from other benign causes should be ruled out subsequently and any other respiratory symptoms are to be attended to. Please discuss pain relief with you doctor to make yourself comfortable. Please do not worry.
|
i have had this dull pain only on the left side under my breast but it is also on my back left shoulder blade with alot of gas what could it be well i guess i wont get an answer since i have to pay sorry
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. If you feel acidity and gastric and digestion problem, the pain could be attributed to it. When you have this gastric problems, the gas present in your stomach area pushes the diaphragm upwards. Your chest cavity is already packed and has enough space for breathing movements of your lungs. This gas further pressurizes the chest cavity, and you will feel that pressure as tightness or pain. You should consult a physician to rule out organic causes. Take care.

My 10yo daughter has been having contstant headaches and feels she is going to throw up continually, this has been occurring for over 3 mths now, her blood tests are fine, a stomach scan showed nothing . She is in healthy weight range and slightly above average in height.
|
Hi.... by what you say I feel that your daughter might be having a migraine without an aura. If there is a family history of migraine it becomes all the more relevant and important corroborative evidence for this diagnosis. As of now you can give her only pain reliever or Paracetamol at the appropriate dose when there is headache. But if there is any double vision or vomiting 15 to 20 times per day associated with severe headache, or altered sensorial or seizures then you need to rush her to the nearest Emergency Room.

My girlfriend has bronchial spasms. She was wheezing last Saturday when she coughed. We went to the doctor on Sunday and she was prescribed an inhaled steroid. She has been taking it twice a day. Her breathing was better Monday thru Wednesday, but today her breathing is worse again. What should she do? How long does it take to get over this? The doctor felt it was caused by a viral infection.
|
Thanks for your question I completely understand your question bronchial asthma is a disease of cough, wheeze, allergy, chest Highness, seasonal change, breathlessness. Basic treatment as per guidelines or corner stone for management is inhaled corticosteroids. There is a step-up therapy as per parent to patient and as per increasing symptoms you need to consult a pulmonologist who can step up the therapy by increasing the frequency and dose of inhaled medications normal adult dose is 500 micrograms for adult in BD dose. Pulmonologist may prescribe a combination of inhaled beta2 agonist and inhaled steroids like formoterol and fluticasone dag delivery and how you take the inhaler matters the most if technique of taking the inhaler is not Roget Chat Doctor.

But please remember that this is just a passing phase in life and if you seek professional help and stay positive, you will soon be able to overcome these difficulties.

Hi, I have been diagnosed with benign positional vertigo, and also low B12 and albumin levels. I have a nearly constant feeling of anxiety and have suffered with depression and migraines in the past. Could all these things be related? I feel my doctor isnt linking these things up?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. If your doctor is not thinking these are related, believe him. In other words, anxiety and depression are known to create (imagination) inactivity, sluggishness, heavy head and vertigo. In turn, people with positional vertigo do become apprehensive and anxious about their medical condition. Those are the relationship between them. Now to elaborate, Because of your medical conditions, you might have become more health conscious, which made you Hyperion Chat Doctor. You started thinking about the future of health, became apprehensive about your conditions etc. and became apprehensive, in turn anxious. Nothing to worry. Ignorance is the key. Learn to ignore. Because your doctor said so. Forget the relationship which you suspected.

Hi, my boyfriend and I had sex for about an hour. Within that hour, 3 different condoms broke. He recognized it and pulled out and slipped on another one. He acted like it was no big deal. I am not sure if he ejaculated in me. I dont think so, but then again, after we had sex, his stomach was really wet (not sweat) and I felt something dripping down my leg into my sock. He told me that I was really wet and thats why his stomach was wet. I hope he wasnt secretly trying to get me pregnant. Do you think I can be pregnant from all of this.
|
Hi, How is doing ? Even if he has not ejaculated, the clear fluid that comes before the semens' ejaculation has higher concentration of healthy sperms. So you definitely you have a chance for pregnancy. I would strongly advise you to have emergency contraceptive if not willing to have baby now. Have the single dose pill within 72 hrs of sex, the best result if used within 24 hrs, earlier the better Hope I have clarified your query write back if anymore queries the best

I have found some odd little bumps around my anus but they dont itch, burn, and they aren t sore, in fact if i hadnt felt them when i was bathing i would never have noticed them. I havent had sex for about two years now and I havent felt these bumps at all when wiping or bathing. I have looked at all the pictures i could find on std s and these dont look like any of them. i have no insurance and no money for a doctor, i am overweight and a 25 year old female, is there anything you can think of that it could be?

I have been experiencing left sided chest pressure/pressure in the left armpit area. I have already gone to a hospital and had an EKG, chest x ray, blood test, etc. They all came back negative, I have no heart defects, supposedly, nor do I have anxiety. I am not overweight, I dont have high blood pressure, the only health risk I can think of is that I have a high fat diet. So, what could be the source of this left sided pressure?

My mother, aged 69, shows signs of acute anaemia and we are trying to figure out the cause. She was hospitalised and treated a month ago for severe respiratory infection and given strong antibiotics. Side effects included tachycardia and significant drop in potassium levels, the latter of which was addressed with medication. She was discharged after 10 days, improved and regained her appetite. But for the last about 3-4 days she has been extremely tired and weak, has lost her appetite, finds it hard to swallow, is occasionally feverish, finds it a bit difficult to talk, and her feet and face are beginning to show signs of puffiness, all of which lead us to believe it might be anaemia. As she was thoroughly tested in hospital for kidney and lung problems, and given the all-clear, we believe this might be drug-related acute anaemia. Any advice/information would be much appreciated. Thanks.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have anemia. We should search for the cause of her anemia first. You should go for complete blood count, peripheral smear examination, anemia profile and ultrasound abdomen. This will give you exact cause of her anemia. It may be due to iron deficiency, vitamin b12 deficiency, hemolysis, blood loss or other cause. Then she should take treatment according to cause. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

I was recently putting up a trampoline with enclosure. While threading the poles throught the top of the enclosure, I pushed the pole and it seemed to be stuck. I continued trying to push it through which eventually caused pain to the inside of my elbow just above the crease. This was about 1 week ago. No there is a bit of swelling to the area. What could be the problem?
|
Hi, You seem to have used considerable force in trying to push the pole. This has caused the over contraction of the muscles of the forearm resulting in injury to the ligaments and tendon which is attached to the bone on the inside of the elbow just above the crease. This needs to be iced and a compression bandage to be applied. With time and rest the problem will be solved. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hi! My husband and i had unprotected sex on my 11th day of menstrual cycle, which is 25 days on the average. I took the first dose of nordette (4pcs) after 26hrs of the deed and took another 4pcs 12 hrs after the first dose. Today is the 4th day after ive taken the pills, yet i dont feel any side effects like nausea. What are the chances of me being pregnant? Thanks!
|
Hi, I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. The chances of you becoming pregnant are low but not zero. Since it is just 4\u00a0days after you took the pills, I would advise that you wait till the end of you normal cycle. However, the period may start a few days later than expected, but this is not a bad sign. If the period happens to be unusually light or does not start within 4\u00a0weeks, then you could possibly be pregnant hope I have answered your querying you good health

You have not mentioned how you feel after taking antacids. Take at least 15 days of regular antacids and if you feel better than you don't have to worry about anything. It appears from your details that you are probably suffering from gastric acidity an as all the tests are normal it is less likely to be related to heart. Just need to ask you few more histories

I am breast-feeding my 3 month old, I am 23 and not over weight. For about 2 weeks now i am getting a rash on my upper arm, what is this? it looks like eczema but i know i do not have eczema. Unless it can just develop out of no where. I have never had a rash like this. I have put breast milk on it for 2 days now and it looks a little better but I would really like to know what this is.

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at Chat Doctor.It's really very difficult to give you proper advice without knowing more about the rash and examining it clinically. I would advise that you visit a dermatologist who would be able to examine you clinically and give you a specific diagnosis Or you can ask me a direct query along with a photograph of the rash via this forum by following the link https

I have recently been feeling a certain pain in the lower part of my mouth. It s been going on for two days now.

About 5 or 6 years ago when I was in middle school, I had to have a root canal on one of my bottom teeth. since then I have gotten braces put on and taken off my teeth. I still have a wire on the back of my bottom teeth. I have never had an actual problem with my root canal. Recently im starting to feel soreness and at sometimes intense pain starting from where my lower lip and lower gum meet to the starting of the top of my chin. I hurts to put pressure on it. When i put pressure on it , it sends a pain sensation through, I guess, My nerves to one of my teeth. I was thinking it might be because the wire on the back of my lower teeth had came off but im starting to think otherwise. Also i thought about this new found pain to be related to my root canal i had 5 or 6 years ago, but the strange thing id that the pain sensation is going to another tooth instead of the one I had a root canal on. It also hurts when I make facial expression that involve my muscles uncle my lower lip. (example

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with a severe case of TMJ, causung severe facial pain and headaches that last all day. On my last doctors visit, she suggested I have Fybromyalgia. I am having severe lower back pain. I have had a clean MRI and a clean CT scan of my sinus cavity. I have an appt. with a nuerilogist in Jan. I have been instructed not to take over the counter meds as I have a bleeding ulcer. Any suggestions on pain releif? I have been living with this since June 2014. Thanks, Lance
|
Hello, I have studied your case with diligence. As per query you have fibromyalgia and pain in TMJ and headache. Well in condition like fibromyalgia, it amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals. But this pain start with physical trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress. So it seems to me that TMJ pain is due to bruise that is clenching of teeth at night. I would suggest you to consult the dentist and get mouth guard so that TMJ problem can be minimized. Doctor may also prescribe muscle relaxant. Also do physical therapy of facial muscles. In the meanwhile consult doctor and take treatment for fibromyalgia like antidepressants, anti-seizure Chat Doctor. Wishing you good health. Take care

I have a small pea size lump in my left testical. It has a sharp like littel peddle. Ha dit checked out 30 years ago when it was hard to find. Felt more like a tiny little sharp pointe pebble. Doctor said nothing to worry about than. Over the years it had become a bit bigger, more like a tiny pea. No pain or swelling. Should I have this checked out again after so many years?
|
Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts. Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-Lump due to hydrated Cyst of Morgan of Testes-which is a vestigial Appendage / also known as Appendix of testes -present on top of testes.USG would confirm or rule out this lump cause. Other causes could be Spermatocyte/ Vasectomy lumps etc. and would suggest having Second Opinion from Surgeon who would physically examine and verify other possibilities of such a painless lump in testes. Hope this would help you to plan further treatment with your family and specialist doctors there. Welcome for any further query in this regard. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. N. Senior Surgical Specialist.

Hi, my 5 year old has had a sore throat and mild fever today. He has been saying all day today that he feels like his forehead is asleep, it feels tingly. Is this something I should be concerned about? Also, my daughter wasn t feeling well a couple of days ago, she had a fever and had been sleeping alot. Hers lasted about 48 hours, she is feeling much better now. Any information would be appreciated.
|
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. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

my bf and i are planning to have a baby. and i had sex on the days that iw as fertile. my last period that was regular was on decmeber 1/10 . and i have been havig alot of symtoms lately but i dont knwo when i should take a test . i wont expect my period til the end of the month.
|
Hello Mam, As you have mentioned that your last period was in December and its more than three months now. Now the urine pregnancy test will not have any major role. It's time you need an ultrasound.* Ultrasound will confirm your pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs then fine and take your treatment accordingly.* In case pregnancy is not there then you need to visit a gynecologist because amenorrhea more than three months might be due to hormonal imbalance. * Other symptoms that you have been experiencing might not be confirmation for pregnancy, so go for an ultrasound first.* I hope you are satisfied with my answer. Thank you.

Less than 24 hours ago, I fell violently off of my bicycle. I landed directly down on the back of my left hand with my arm in a vertical angle. I have mild soreness in my wrist but I have intense pain in my elbow and upper forearm. I have no swelling and no bruising. My question is, do I likely have a broken bone or is it simply and bad sprain with nerve damage?
|
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury of the elbow. I suggest doing an x-ray of the elbow to exclude fracture. Meanwhile, you can use anti-inflammatory medications to relieve the pain. I also suggest resting and maintain the area elevated and immobilized. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.

This query is for my Mom; she is 84 and wears full dentures . She is suffering from pain in her left gums & and now it has gone to the left side of ther tongue . We now blend her food and she eats like a thick soup to keep her strenght. But when anything touches that area, her mouth quivers in pain. She had bad fitting dentures for a while but had new dentures made six months ago. The dentist who made her full dentures says that her gums are thinning and this is causing the pain. What about now, it has radiated to her tongue. And the pain comes & goes even when she is sleeping.

Sometimes what happens is that the bone of the lower jaws resorts to such a level as the mental foramen which is the passage way for nerves comes to lie on the top. Usually it lies in the middle of the height of the bone.in such cases the lower denture comes to lie on the foramen and thus causes impingement over the nerve causing intense pain. Ask your dentist for an OPG X-ray which could help him ascertain the bone level. If the problem comes out to be what I have described your dentist has to make sure to relieve that area while making her denture thanks

I stubbed my smallest toe 9 days ago, iced it pretty quickly and the initial swelling and bruising subsided but cannot wear any shoes,or put any significant weight on the foot.it swells after a days activities(I have to be up and about)and still hurts. I m not totally convinced the toe is broken but good grief, I m ready for this be over. Am I just being impatient and how long does it take to resolve. I m wearing sandals in cold weather! Sorry this seems so benign but it s really incapacitating. By the way, my knee (on the same leg)is now killing me.Im hoping there s no connection. Thanks so much.
|
Hi, As per the complaint, knee pain can occur due to causes like overexertion, aging while can also be due to certain disorders like anterior cruciate ligament injury, torn meniscus, knee bursitis, tendinitis, arthritis, gout, infections, etc. I would suggest you consult an orthopedic and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like X-ray, MRI scan, blood test etc., can be done to rule out the exact cause of the pain and treatment can be done accordingly. As of now, you can take an anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxazone, apply an analgesic gel over the knees and put knee braces. Limit exertion as it can add up to pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am an IT professional I am now 25 years old the girl I am mentioning here have 23 years old. we started love at our degree time. she is now doing MCA final year and after my degree i search for job to make a career faster and getting settled with her, 2 years before we married legally and that was a secret marriage because we don t wan t to miss each other if any problems comes in future. That is the reason why we did that. But now she is avoiding me... she don t like my presence, she told me that I am always scolding her, I didn t gave her peace after marriage, I know I am over caring, but she told me that I am doubting on her etc etc. I loved her so deeply.., I can t bear while she is talking with any other boy or if a marriage proposal comes in her home. I feel afraid always by thinking all these things. I am from a middle class family and she is from a rich family, also she is post graduated now I am feared about that she is avoiding me because of all these reasons. sometimes I feel inferior about myself... that I am not suit for her. I have so many family problems and office tensions. Now I got promoted as Project Leader but I can t work properly... I am always gloomy, I just act as a machine in my office. I feel loneliness , she never try to understand me, I know some where in her mind there is a soft corner for me. But she have such a mind that she don t like to express love, love is a thing that we need to kept in mind. But in my point of view love is a beautiful feeling but without expressing love is nothing. I am crying most of my nights by thinking about her. I don t know how to make her happy. I told her that I am going to leave her because I can t bear avoiding. Sometimes I think about suicide but later I think about my family, my mom, dad...I am the elder son in my family and I have my responsibility towards them. I don t know how to manage all these situations. She never tried to understand me. Two days before she told me that she is in her village and will come back after three days. I can t call her while she is in home. But later I realized from our mutual friend that she is in college, and she told me lie that she is in home. I asked her why you lied... her reply makes me hurted more. She don t like my presence and she don t like to hear my voice. so I told her I am leaving her forever. I know that is not possible for me... but some how I managed one day by switching off my phone. But when I switch on my phone I got 6 blank messages from her that makes me writing this. Also I know I can t live without her. I don t know she loves me or not but her words... I can t forget. How can I disturb the person who don t like my presence. I don t know if I did write or wrong. Please suggest me... help me to overcome this situation.

Hello You have described your problem in detail. The problem is only due to misunderstanding. A lot of cognitive distortions are there which should be corrected. Assumptions should always be avoided in a relationship. You have mentioned that you are caring and over loving. You have also mentioned that you don't like her talking to any of male friends. Just ask your self is it really care and love or something else. She is a different individual, and she also needs her space. You are intruding in her space and this has resulted in a vicious cycle of doubt and fights. This is the reason she is avoiding you. She is saying that she didn't get peace of mind after marriage. But due to continuous mist rust she has started avoiding you. She just wants peace of mind. I will advise you to go to a Counselor for proper counseling. Then request her to come along with you for Couple Therapy for strained relationships. Talk to her about restarting the life. Decide to change yourself. Don't feel inferior work had so that you can win her again. And also don't threaten her with suicidal threats. This will affect only you and no one else will be affected. If you both are ready to continue again then reach to an amicable state by talking to each other. Thanks

I seem to have blood in my urine, or at least it seems to be quite red. I know I have kidney stones but have had them for many years and have been told to leave them alone unless they start being painful, which they are not. But a bit worried about the blood which has only just started?
|
HelloThanks for query. You are known to have stone in kidney since long time and now getting hematuria. The hematuria suggests that the stone is spiky and rubbing against the delicate mucus membrane of collecting system. If left untreated it will cause further damage to the kidney and cause more bleeding and infection. I would suggest you to get it removed. Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.1) Urine routine and culture.2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis3) Intravenous Paleography. Further treatment as regards modality will depend upon the results of findings of these tests Chat Doctor.

I have had diabetes for 16 months now and I seem to be tired for reasons unknown. I am 76 and except for the recent diabetes, I am healthy. No other medications. No allergies. Is it the metformin or the humolog or lantus that is having an effect on my energy level? Thanks for your answer.
|
Hello have gone through your question and understood your concern. Low energy can be a symptom of hypoglycemia and hypoglycemia can be a side effect of Humalog or Bantus. At the other side unusual tiredness, or weakness can be a symptom of lactic acidosis, a side effect of metformin. Other symptoms of lactic acidosis include abdominal or stomach discomfort, decreased appetite; diarrhea; fast or shallow breathing; a general feeling of discomfort; severe muscle pain or cramping. If you do not have any of these symptoms (apart low energy), Lactic acidosis can be excluded. I suggest checking your blood glucose several times every day(for some days)fasting, 2\u00a0hours after meals or random to see of you have hypoglycemia. In this case your insulines and your diabetes is the culprit of your low energy. If you do not have hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis, i suggest consulting your doctor for further investigations.(If the weakness persist)Hope I have answered to your questions. If you have other queries, feel free to ask.(you can ask me at Chat Doctor at my private link

I m 27yrs old, 5 6 , 145lbs. For the last 3 days I ve been feeling really bloated and crampy in my lower abdominal area. I ve also been having 4-5 small bowel movements a day. I usually only go 1-2 times a day. They are the same consistency, however, as my normal ones would be. The discomfort started about 11 days after the first day of my last period. This last period only lasted 4 days, and my others usually last 6-7 days. The discomfort kind of comes and goes, as far as intensity is concerned. I haven t seen any blood in my stool nor do i have any other kind of bleeding .
