Once hypertension has been diagnosed, there is no cure unfortunately, but you can control it through proper diet, exercise, stress management and Chat Doctor. If you are overweight then yes losing weight will surely bring down your blood pressure. Exercise when done regularly will also help in controlling BP and having a well-balanced diet which includes plenty of fruits and vegetables as they are good sources of potassium in our diet also helps to lower BP. Cut down on fat intake from butter, clarified butter, milk cream, margarine and fatty meats if non-vegetarian. Choose lean meat, fish chicken and egg whites. Choose refined vegetable oil for cooking such as olive oil, canola, rice bran oil etc. and limit its intake to not more than 3-4 tsp in a day per person. Include low fat milk/curd and cheese. Avoid processed cheese as it is rich in sodium. Cut down on your intake of salt which raises BP. You can do this by following

I am 76 years old. last year I have diagnosed with prostat cancer and had an operation but my doctor has not removed my prostat completely he removed my testicles and cut pices of prostate last month I started to have pain on my hip and had blood in my urin. my PSA Total was 1500 and my PSA free was more than100. I had another operation 3 weeks ago in my prostat as my doctor suggested and found inflamation and infection in location of operation.still after 3 weeks my PSA level has not been changed and I have fever that keeps coming back even after taking Amikacin other antibiotics.I had blood test and urin test the only things that are high are S.G.O.T and S.G.P.T. My doctor wants to send me to hospital again but I was wondering if any one can give me an explanation of why I have fever still after 3 weeks

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have infection and inflammation in prostate. So it can be reason. Moreover, yours got and Sept levels are high. It suggests liver damage. It may be due to antibiotics or hepatitis. Please go for complete liver function test. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi, Thanks for your query. I read your query and understand your concerns. Following is my reply
|
I have a little bit of pain in my right lower abdomen and it just started. I also have fluttering and spasms and I can feel the spasms when I put my hand or fingers on my stomach. The pain comes when the flutters and spasms come. I believe my abdomen is also inflamed a little bit. Do you have any idea what it could be?
|
Hellman in the lower abdomen on the right side with mild pain and spasm may be due to these possibilities, these include;1 Amoebic colitis, as you are feeling this pain just 1-2 days and feeling of pain is due to pressure or flutters. Take anti spasm tablet. 2 Right lower abdominal pain may be due to urinary tract infection. Diagnosis can be confirmed by urine culture.3 If, you are female may be due to pelvic infection .4 Worm infestation is another such cause. Since pain is not acute in nature and for 1 day so get in anti spasm tablet. If recurs the consult a doctor and get his opinion.

I am planning for pregnancy.....since last 1.5 yrs we are trying but unfortunately we are failed ...today we have done PCT(Post Coital Test) and result was negative, Dr told me that sperm is not reaching, then dr prescribed me ultigest-300 please let me now for the same
|
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. My opinion and what literature tell about largest are quite different. I won't prescribe largest to improve motility of sperm. Largest is used to avoid pre term labor or to avoid abortion. If sperm motility is less, then I would suggest your husband to stop smoking and alcohol and reduce weight and take multivitamin tablets. I suggest you to go for GUI. It is intrauterine ingestion of sperms. Here sperms are washed and processed and placed in uterus. Healthy sperms are used. This will solve the problem of sperms to ascend. I suggest you to discuss this with your doctor. Hope I have been helpful. Regards Chat Doctor.

i have 2 stents fitted in the heart circumvex artery. Medications (CLOPIDOGREL AND ASPRIN) are causing me to have stomach pain in the left side /middle under the bottom of ribcage. My doctor is sending me for a scan canyou please advise will it be a mri or ct scan
|
Howell come to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, if this is the abdomen pain, and it is being suspected due to the medicine, so it could be gastritis, beside this or if it needs to be differentiated with second cause then it has to be taken for USG else it is depends upon the clinical examination because of that physician can best decide for MRI or CT scan, it all depends upon the provisional clinical diagnosis, but just for the routine test Ultrasonography is preferable hope this information helps.

I either need a psychiatrist or a medical doctor, you tell me. I have lumps of powder in the skin of my penis. There also seems to be foreign matter under the skin with wires that hook into the skin as it moves and sometimes gets caught. There is also a flat wire of some sort that moves around in between the layers of skin that hooks into the foreign matter and pulls on it. the flat wire has a mind of its own. I have a penile implant, and wonder if pieces are coming off. I am concerned, as I want the invasive pieces gone including the wire. As sometimes it cuts my skin. Should I go to the psychiatrist?

my test result says GALL BLADDER
|
HelloThanks for your query. You have been detected to have a distended gall bladder containing a stone of 6 mm size. Since you do not have obstructive jaundice and pain it is labelled as a silent gall stone. You may neglect it, but you have to get your ultrasound scanning done repeatedly to watch the status of the size of the stone, Please note that there is no medicine that can dissolve the stone. Since gall stones are formed because of gall bladder itself been infected the best permanent remedy is to get it removed by Laparoscopic procedure which is very safe and result oriented surgery.

MR imaging reveals diffuse disc bulges at L4-5 and L5-S1 levels indenting the thecal sac with mild narrowing of bilateral neural foramina......................and doctor recommended me Laser surgery ...and don t know what to do at this age..Isn t there any solution out...as every doctor gives me his personal different advise...some says medicines and some exercise and some surgery and some says it is normal so don t be panic just take medicines
|
Hi Ayush, MR image showing disc bulging is very common however it is very important in spine to match clinical symptoms and MRI finding. I need to know about the severity of the problem? Location of pain? And your MRI images especially cuts at L4-5 and L5-S1. By the way what's your age right now? If you have significant leg symptoms then I would consider doing epidural block. Laser surgery is a marketing tool rather than a research proven technique and I would not suggest that from this information. Medicine and exercise is obviously better option if it is bringing your pain under control.

Dear Colton,First, remove all myth and misconception from your mind regarding masturbation. It does not have any side effects to the body and mind, unless you get addicted to it. And your hair fall is not related to this. To prevent hair loss, you need to use

Hi, I am a 45 year old woman. I am a diabetice of 20 years, I have Mitral valve prolapse, I was recently hospitalized for pulminary embolism and am having terrible hot flashes. I was wondering if the pulminary embolism was caused by the mitral valve prolapse and could i be having the hot flahes because of this or is it menopause. I am also now on blood thinners and am on insulin.
|
Hello Mambo MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE cannot cause Pulmonary Embolism (PE). PE is usually an abnormality of the venous system which ultimately links to right side of the heart and Mitral valve is in left side of heart, so it cannot cause it. Yes hot flushes could be a symptom of upcoming or ongoing menopause, as well as it can also be due to your diabetes. Try to keep your sugar levels under control and stay active. Good Luck

I am 23/F with extreme spine pain. It started about 5 years ago. I was dancing and turned my head too fast; felt something pop in my neck and everything tingled then went numb. I took a hot shower thinking it was muscular, but it made it worse. I went to physical therapy , pain management , MUI, and nothing helped. Shortly after the MUI procedure, a nerve pinched in my neck and I was paralyzed. The official diagnosis was torticollis of the neck. They gave me a shot of muscle relaxant and pain killer into my shoulder, which helped the pain and tension. I believe I also have fibromyalgia in my right shoulder. The slipped disc is right between my shoulder blades. I have three other areas of extreme pain as well

I found a marble size lump on my Brest cant fet a diagnostic mammogram for two weeks and then I went to the plastic surgeon , who put in my implants, I told him I had a full physical and a mamofram was the only thing I had not had. I just turned 65 and my Md had told me that I could go two to having A Mammogram ever years. So I had it schedule in two weeks. My plastic surgeon said to get the mammogram and come back to him in six weeks that he thought it might go away as I had re want to wait that long ! I want to know something asap, the lump is not tender but I dont want to wait that long I am scared, please advise
|
Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.* Lump in breast at 65 may be benign or malignant.* Clinical diagnosis has many criteria to be considered other than marble size as - consistency, texture, movements of the lump - changes involving overlying skin - nipple areola changes if any - swelling / nodes in areola - history part of weight loss / anorexia / excess fatigue or else * Kindly consult with all these details as early as possible so that I can guide you in a more precise way.* One thing is for sure that it is not related to implant at all. Hope this clears your doubt. Welcome for any further assistance. Thanks for using Chat Doctor .com & giving me an opportunity to assistWishing you fine health ahead. Regards dear take care.

Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Fertile period in a cycle of 28 day duration is from 10th day to 18th day. Usually ovulation happens 14 days prior to your next cycle. So difficult to predict exact day of ovulation. If you have regular cycle plan to have intercourse around day of ovulation. Your cervical mucous changes during your fertile period becoming more slippery, wet and clear - its often described as having the look and feel of uncooked egg whites - indicating ovulation. Few tips to increase conception rates

My mother is having lightheadiness and heart palpitations and sometimes her hear races. This has been over the last few days. She just checked her blood pressure and it is normal and her pulse rate is 72. Could she still have a heart attack with normal blood pressure and pulse rate? Thanks, Kelli
|
Hi, Lightheadedness associated with palpitations can be caused by irregularities in heart rhythm. Heart rate and blood pressure can be normal in these cases, but it is important to know what her heart rhythm is, and what is usually done is an ECG which documents the electrical activity of the heart. It may not be a \"heart attack\" per se, but it is noteworthy that she may undergo tests as part of the work-up. And I would suggest a consult with a doctor to be able to check other causes of dizziness such as a musculoskeletal problem in the neck, as well as problems in the eyes and ears which may cause dizziness, apart from a problem in the heart. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

On Monday at 11pm- My dog AMI was sprayed by a skunk. He ran right towards me, The sprayed skunk substance was all over his face and right eye. He was taken into the house and put into the tub by me, I scrubbed his face and flushed his eye repeatedly until he was feeling relief. Two days later Thursday at 5am I woke up for work and I thought I was having a stroke . The right side of my face was drooping and felt numb.My husband drove me to the ER. They did a neurological Exam and a CT and chest X ray and Lab work,The diagnosis was Bells Palsy. Is it possible that the contact with the skunk spray could have triggered this condition. Is it possible that the skunk spray substance could have triggered this nervous system problem. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter. Linda/ age 55
|
Hello Linda, thanks for sharing your problem with us. Bells palsy is considered an idiopathic facial paralysis. There are many etiologic agents with a shared common pathway leading to facial neuropathy. Herpes simplex virus is the most likely etiologic agent of the Bells palsy, but there is different debate on this since many years. As you described the incident happened 2 days prior you got paralysis can not be in relation with the palsy because it is found that Skunk spray is a non-lethal deterrent and does not contain any poisons or other harmful chemicals that would cause permanent damage, even when exposed to the membranes of the eyes, nose or even mouth. So I don't think it has any relation with Bells palsy. But you can discuss with neurologist to find out the cause. Take care, Regaurds

Im hearing a heartbeat like sound and it seems to be coming from my neck. When I lift my head so that my chin points towards the ceiling the sound seems to subside or sometimes stop. What is going on, do I need to see a doctor, if yes what kind of doctor?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about this. This is normal thing. The sound you are hearing is from carotid artery. Since carotid artery is major artery, larger amount of blood flows through it. And hence you can hear some sound. No need to worry about this. But if you want to Sure about it then get done bilateral carotid Doppler to rule out any thrombosis because this can also cause sound. For this you need to consult cardiologist and radiologist. If this is normal then no need to worry. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi! I was on my knees scrubbing the tub and as I reached to my far right my knee slipped and I actually slammed my rib cage right on the bathtub ledge, and I heard a pop noise. It hurts real bad, and it s in the same area the ER Dr. broke it around 8 months ago putting my hip back in to socket. What can I do for the pain, since I do not have Insurance until I start my new job this Monday June 9?
|
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. As you have given the history of injury and pop up sound its indicates some soft tissue injury happened to your knee joint, until and unless you go for MRI or ultrasound soft tissue injury can't be diagnosed, once we will confirm it and what is level of injury in grades, according to that we can treat the part. For pain for immediate relief you apply ice for 4 times a day for 3 days. Then go for physical therapy where you take ultrasound treatment and IT therapy for 15 days, so pain will be under control, meanwhile confirm from MRI. If soft tissue injury is more than 2 grade need to go for reconstruction surgery by orthopedic surgeon. I hope you are satisfied with this answer.

Hi I have mild disc bulge l4-5, due to which im getting pain in my right leg and at lower disc as well. Also my neck nerves compressed and i;m getting pain from neck, right solder and hand.im taking treatment for these since couple of months.Apart from these now a days im getting pain in my spine while i use any work in little bit bend position.will it causes major problems. is my spine effect or injured or it is simple common problem?please let me know the reason and solution for this.
|
Hi and welcome to ChatDoctorYou seem to have a prolapsed inter vertebral disc, rightly at L4L5 region. This disc may be compressing upon a nerve root that either exits or traverses through that level. Having known this basic anatomy, you must avoid any activity that aggravates the condition, like bending forward and lifting heavy objects, sitting long hours on computer, inappropriate sitting posture, etc. The medications will relieve pain and help muscles to relax. Physiotherapy shall also help a lot, especially exercises that strengthen your back. Kindly note that exercises should only be done when it doesn't hurt. Adequate rest and proper nutrition is equally important. Chat Doctor.

Struggling 4 years with progressive sensory small finer neuropathy. Pain acute n chronic in feet and both legs. Many many neurological work ups. Latest diagnosis is MADSAM concluded by 2 different neurologists. How can I be sure before beginning IVG treatment.? Symptoms have been progressing
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I read carefully your question and understand your concern. You should know that the main tests for this disorder are the electroneurography and spinal tap, followed by the exam of the cerebrospinal fluid. Other tests to consider are blood work to exclude any other systemic conditions (complete blood count, sedimentation rate, ANA, ANNA, Rheumatoid factor, genetic testing for Charcot Marie Tooth disease, etc.). Anyway, treatment with IVG can help distinguish between the other causes of neuropathy. So, if you have already performed some blood lab tests, an electroneurography and a spinal tap, I would strongly encourage you to start IVG therapy. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,

i have an infection on my leg after falling on my wooden deck, i have been to the dr. and am being treated with doxycline and mupirocin ointment .my leg hurts and site is painful,i m wondering if this is mursa? Their was burn looking skin discharge a few weeks a ago which is gone now. i have had the red sore for almost 5 weeks now.should i ask if i should go to the hospital,i am a 64 yr old female.
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical assessment is advised with a complete blood and urine culture. As you are 64 years old, your metabolism might be slow due to the degenerative changes in the body. Also, you need to check your blood sugar levels along witChatDoctorplete mammogram and urine test to figure out if possible infection is present. Based on which the antibiotics will be advised. Also, you need to even perform some breathing exercises as it will improve the oxygen carrying blood cells which will help assist in healing faster. Later part, performing slow gentle general body exercises will help improve the Cardiorespiratory endurance and improve the metabolism & immune system to fight against the infections. For weakness in a later stage, physical therapy will help improve the strength in the particular group of muscles. In my clinical practice such geriatric cases responds well with a combination of multiple understanding of the systems. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

I have pain in lower back, down left leg sometime in my right leg to. I cannot bend over to put on my socks or cut my toe nails, and when in bed it hurt to move over and I cannot sleep on stomach. When I get up from sitting or sleeping it hurts me to walk. I have no swelling just pain
|
Hello, Commonly lower back pain radiating to the legs is due to sprains occurring because of over stretching of the muscles, tendons or tearing of the ligaments. To get the relief you can take NSAIDs & can apply pain relieving ointments & sprays. Do walking & exercises to get relief. A sedentary lifestyle is not good for lower back pain. Other factors may be herniated disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease. You are suggested to visit ER, get physically checked & get blood tests, Nerve Conduction tests, Nerve Biopsy & Imaging tests done to detect the pathology causing the discomfort. Your treatment will depend upon the severity of the pathology detected. Get treated at the earliest. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

hi. i have been struggling with A. necrosis for about 10 yrs or so. I was being seeing a Pain Management Center in AZ (im now in a small town in CA) where they prescribed meds to help control th pain whie i sought treatment elsewhere looking for some possible cure for my necrosis. Not really happening at this point. Back to today.. I had been seeing a Pain Specialist here for a few years but he doesnt accept MediCal that i have being on SSI. I sought out a GP Dr when i was having a hard time keeping up with th Dr visit charges (which i now regret immensely). These new regular Dr are EXTREMELY against fastacting pain meds etc. 7 yrs ago or so, my Dr in AZ talked me into 12 Kadians (morphine) assuring me that detoxing with him would be painless IF and WHEN we found some cure for my Necrosis. Ive been on Kadian eve since with Oxycodone for breakthru pain. My newest Dr refuses to prescribe fastacting pain meds swearing that they cause your pain tolerance to be lowered constantly to th point where i ll never be able to have real pain relief. Two times while on Kadian 60mg every 12 hours i accidentally missed a dose or 2 and ended up in an ER with pain so extreme, vomiting uncontrollably etc (we concluded that i was goin thru withdrawals). Now this new Dr wants only to increase my Kadian and quickly. In the past few months from 60mg to 80mg every 12 hrs. With not very good results so shes prescribed me uot to 100mg every 12 hrs plus Kadian 60mg for breakthru between my 12 hr meds. Needless to say that i am SCARED TO DEATH about these doses!So far i have begun thje 100mg every 12hrs and added 20mg up to 6 daily = 320mg supposed to lead up to (next week) 560mg per day. This seems crazy considering how badly i thought i was dying previously when i missed doses. AND im stil in pain to th point that i now feel like a cripple for the first time in my life. i often cry from th pain, limp and am in pretty much constant pain. My mother dioesnt get it all but believes this new Dr that fastacting meds will never be the answer and thats is her adament opinion (to the point where she called my previous Pain Management Dr crazy TWICE and rt to my face! I really just want to go back to my REAL Pain Dr and go back to much lower Kadian dose with my fastacting Oxycodones. Whats your opinin on this please? not sure if i can add to this but im supposed to tell you im a 49 yr old female, 5 8, 140 pounds, as active as i CAN be but am not, hope that helps...

Hi, From your description I understand that you are in chronic pain. I presume that your blood sugar levels and metabolic profile are ok. If these tests have not been done please do get them done as well. Has your vitamin D level test been done. If not you may get your vitamin D level tested. If this is low then you may need adequate supplementation. I would suggest that in addition to your doctors prescriptions you may see a well qualified acupressure specialist. Acupressure is an alternative branch of medicine which is complementary to your pain medication. It does not cure the medical problem but may help some people in reducing their pan symptoms. Over time some patients report a sense of overall well-being and decreased use of pain medications with acupressure. You may also find out if there are biofeedback type of sessions at your pain management clinic. Biofeedback is also a type of additional therapy used to manage some forms of chronic pain. You may also try meditation techniques as available on About.com or Deepak Chopra websites or any good meditation center. Mediation works by helping to calm our anxieties and creates a sense of well-being which induces a sense of positivity which helps us in coping with the chronic pain. Chronic pain, I understand reduces the quality of our life and creates a sense of misery and anxiety and that is why in addition to the usual medications, we should also work on ad Chat Doctor. Acupressure also may be helpful but must be done under the advice of a skilled practitioner. You may also try to consume anti oxidant containing food and beverages such as green tea, berries etc. if you are not allergic to them or have no other contraindications. A well-balanced diet with more natural food, whole grains and vegetables promotes a sense of well-being. You may try to reduce the consumption of food that contains too many preservatives, coloring and additives etc. Since you said that you are an active person, I presume that you are able to do some light aerobic exercises when possible, but please do not do any exercises when you are in pain. Should you require further guidance please post your lab reports and doctors diagnosis with details here so that I provide you with more information? Warmest regards and wishing you a pain free and healthy life

Hello Doctor. Im 25. I have been feeling weak and i feel i have no energy to do anything. I had chest pain and i felt i could not fill myself up enough with oxygen. My throat feels blocked the whole time. I did gastroscopy and they diagnosed me with Gerd( acid reflux) cos my stomach doesnt close properly. Im since 2 years on nexium and lansoprazol. Still feeling pain in the chest and i have a bit of breathing problems. I went to specialist, xray and all breathing tests came back normal. I know these symptoms feel like i have anxiety problems or i might sound depressed but i feel past 4-5 months my body changed and something doesnt feel right. My doctor did all blood tests and are all normal except my kolesterol is a bit high . I dont know what to do else. Can you give me an idea of what it might be please? Thank you
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Since your all reports are normal, I think your chest pain is mostly related to HERD only. HERD is chronic disease. You need lifestyle modifications along with Chat Doctor. So try to follow these steps along with proton pump inhibitor. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 3. Avoid stress and anxiety. 4. Go for walk after meals. 5. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in the bed. 6. Quit habits like smoking and alcohol if you have.

Hello there, my father has a crumbling spine following an un diagnosed broken back when he was much younger, he is currently taking Co-Dydramol and Tramadol but do not know in what quanties, he used to have injections into the spinal to kill the nerve ends but not now as the pain was to severe he can only just about walk now but has to stop every few steps because of the pain, are there any stronger pain killers that he can take.Thank you

Hello. I am on b.c. pills and I have not had my period in 2months. Ive taken several pregnancy tests and they have been negative. I saw the gyn yesterday and he said take another test in 2wks. But this morning i woke up with pain more on my right side...lower abdomen/pelvic area. Starting where my belly button is. Its not severe so im not sure if i should go to the e.d. Could this be appendicitis?
|
Thank you for contacting us. Not every abdominal pain is appendicitis. I would like know more about your OB VISIT. What is the primary reason to see the gynecologist. Paina round the umbilical area going down to right groin or pelvic region is concerning. Can you please let us know if you have lost you appetite? Have you had any fever? Is this tender to touch if you put direct pressure on the belly where it hurts. If yes to any of these. Contact us immediately for further guidance or should go to the ED urgently.

Hi Doctor I am 35 weeks pregnant and am experiencing regular trembles or shakes in my tummy, like the baby is having a small seizure or like when an adult has that weird involuntary tremble down the back of the neck. What is this? and is it normal? Thanks Lishai
|
Hallow Lisa, The baby inside the uterus is continually moving. It is calm when the baby is sleeping. This movement is felt by the mother from about 20 weeks of the gestation or earlier. As the pregnancy advances, the water around the baby goes on diminishing and hence the movements of the baby are more perceived. You may please count the score of the movements. During 12 hours time if it is moving about 10 times, you do not have to worry. This is normal and is indicating a healthy active fetus. Any variation in the fetal movement count needs to be reported to the Obstetrician. I hope this helps you.

HiMy baby is 3 months old. She has loose motion since 14 days. On average around 14 POOS of yellow or green colour with sticky and white substance.Seems to us that she has cold and we assume that is loose motion is due to cold!?Is there any medicine in USA over the counter?
|
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. What your kid is having is not a diarrhea and is only a gastronomic reflux. It is quite common for babies of this age group t pass small amount of diarrhea or loose stools soon after feeds. This need not be treated as diarrhea and especially antibiotics are not indicated. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. 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.

Hello, welcome I explain all about hair fall point wise 1. In male An Chat Doctor. It is a hormonal and genetic.2.

Prior to a work related car accident, I was in perfect health. I, was wearing my police uniform, when struck by an imparied driver in 2009. Since that day, while specialists were trying to figure out why I was in pain and having flu like symptoms monthly for a week at a time, and extreme pain and unusual fatigue my orth surgeon sent me for a bon scan where the nurse dropped the needle and put a belt around my elbows without steralizing. The next morning I woke up with 4 golf ball size lymph nodes under each arm. I had surgery and was diagnosed with a staph infection, I had home care for over two months while nurses changed the wound dressings under both underarms until they healed. As i tried to go for rehab to get strong again, I continue to crash and suffer from extreme exhaustion and was eventually told I had Fibromyalgia. I went to the USA for a 1 year treatment plan at the fibro and fatigue centre in Marietta Georgia. During my IV Injectoin treatments it was detected that I was not suffering from high blood pressure at rest 169 over 116 with a pulse of 90 to 98 at rest. Since then my dr prescribed blood pressure medicine and I take it but blood pressure is still 157 over 110 and my pulse is 104 at rest. What does this mean?? The last time I went to a heart specialst they advised that my heart was somewhat enlarged and mentioned left ventrical hypertrophy a condition athletes get as it happens over time with the heart having to pump harder. Any suggestions. I have been advised that Fibromyalgia causes our blood to thicken and less oxygen and a number of different theories. I really want to find the best doctor in the world to help me. Thank You, Katherne 46 yrs always an athlete until this accident and the driver and passenger were impaired by drugs on a monday morning in June at 11am and this is still before the courts and I just want it to be over so that I can try fetal stem cell or something to save myself.

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your query and concern. High blood pressure with Left ventricular hypertrophy should be evaluated for Dilated cardiomyopathy. Best treatment for elevated blood pressure is through Chat Doctor. Before that adequate management and work up is needed. I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography, ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart. Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day. Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful.

Ive have upper back pain that started five weeks ago. started in back and pain is now in left shoulder and down left arm. started using cyclobenzapr and trama-dol last week and I think it may be helping a bit. My question is should I get an MRI or just wait it out, with a pain pill at night to help me be able to sleep.

Hi ! Do you have a history of lifting any kind of heavy weight in the past, following which you developed this pain ? Do you work a lot on computer, and you bend your neck down to look at your computer due to the faulty position of the level of computer ? In the first case, it could be a major muscle spasm, which will gradually go away with Lille bit of physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. In the second case, you must try to improvise on your posture and take breaks in between your work on computer and do some stretching exercises. You have to also see an orthopedic surgeon to exclude cervical spondylitis. In both the above noted cases, improvement will follow with

Run, Jog and do whatever exercise to get rid of the back pain I have a back pain as I am working with a software company for four and half years and this has resulted me with this problem. I have knocked the doors of many doctors and specialists to get rid of this at this young age. Every one suggested me exercise along with some pocket burning tests. I never cared for the exercise since I am too lazy without my computer.

HelloThanks for the concern As you are with software company may be need to work on computer for long time sitting in same posture, neck down to see at the monitor for long time. You will have neck, eye and severe back pain. To avoid or to get relief

I had a hysterectomy five years ago and I have had lower abdominal pain on the left side for the last three days. I had an ultrasound today and it said that the left ovary is 11cc in volume with a 24mm dominant follicle. They have given me no treatment but I am still in terrible pain. What can I do
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Your history of hysterectomy 5 years back and no problems till just 3 days ago of pain in the left lower abdomen may not have any relation at all. The ultrasonography showing 11 cc volume and 24 mm cyst can not cause pain unless there is bleeding into the cyst. So they have not given you the treatment or maybe they are waiting for some more results. Another possibilities that can cause pain are

i recently found a small hard bump on the side of my penis, it is approximately the size of a bb, maybe smaller and is not painfull. I do not shave the shaft of my penis so i know it cannot be an ingrown hair, and have not been sexually active for at least 6 months, and used protection when i was. Any insight into what this could be is greatly appreciated
|
Hello, Clinically the lesions are present as a pearly white dome-shaped bump on the affected area. The whitish ball coming after extraction is molluscan body. Most of the time the lesions may resolve by its own, but some may remain and can become slightly larger. In these cases, once any lesion remains then there is the further possibility of more eruptions from one lesion. Therefore, in my opinion, any of the bump if remaining should be treated properly. I treat my patient with simple extraction with a needle or by Chemical Cautery or by extraction and needling. There is nothing to be worried about the same and can be very well treated. I suggest you to not pinch, pop or squeeze the area. For the redness

Hi, I am having a numbing feeling from my temple down towards the lower part of my cheek. There is a slight pain that is constant and it gradually gets worse and then subsides for a bit. It basically feels like Ive been hit in the face by something. Could it be stress?
|
Thanks for your query, the pain in the temple region and the cheek could be from myofascial pain syn Chat Doctor. .these two can get aggravated by stress...so be tension free...you can take an analgesic with muscle relaxant(flexion Mr) twice daily for 3 days and proximal 20 mg twice daily for first day and once daily for next 4days...you can give hot fomentation over the muscle...if the pain persist then consult an oral physician to rule out any tooth related disorder.with regards

|
HelloThanks for query. Your uncle of 70 years old is admitted in ICU with multi organ failure and on ventilator is under care of a qualified Nephrologist . The outcome of treatment as regards recovery entirely depends upon his response to antibiotics, urine output, status of kidney function that is reflected in his blood urea and serum creatinine levels and liver function. With single functioning kidney and supportive measures there are high chances of full recovery. Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have noticed that I know when I am going to get a cold because while resting my heart rate starts racing from 120 on up per minute. Also if I drink alcohol 3 beers makes my hear race so badley I feel as if it is going to come out of my chest. (so I no longer drink)But I have noticed lately that my heatr is pounding climbing steps, or while doing nothing. Periodicially throughout the day.I was seen at a cardiologist last year they couldnt pin point the cause, they said it could be I am getting adreniline rushes. I am not overweight, I am 57 and 130 lbs, I am very active, but am finding it had to work out on the elliptical do to my rapid heart beat while on it, last year I was able to go for 25 minutes a day and now I can hardley go 2 minutes, my heart races so bad I get a sick stomache.Any ideas what could be causing this.
|
Hi Their have read the medical details provided by you and It's good to hear that you are no more taking alcohol. I would like to suggest few things to you which you need to follow regularly1. Eat healthy, include lots of fresh vegetables and fruits in your daily diet2. Avoid eating junk and canned food.3. Stop smoking (if you do) as it's a stimulant, and it increases heart rate.4. Get a fasting Lipid profile, Complete blood count (CBC), Thyroid function test done and a HOLDER monitoring (24 hr ambulatory EKG) done. 5. Start doing YOGA/ MEDITATION every morning if you can't go for a walk at present. I would also like to start you on a low dose BETA BLOCKER initially along with the things which I have mentioned above. Follow this regularly for a minimum of 3 months and i quite sure that you won't be needing any medicine after 3 months. For a BETA BLOCKER prescription its advisable that you should consult your cardiologist personally and discuss with him for your options. I wish you good health

I fell on Saturday. I thought I was ok. Nothing more than wounded pride and a few scrapes and bruises. It is now Wednesday, my leg is swollen as well as my ankle and foot. My leg is tender in the area of where I hit when I fell. The leg is also warm to the touch.
|
Thanks for writing to us, I have studied your case with diligence. As per your history and injury pattern there can be persistent tear if ankle ligament leading to pain and swelling along with minor fracture. Instability may increase due to laxity of ligament. I will advise repeating MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement and any fracture line. Till time, you can continue use supportive splint or brace. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing. Persistent pain after ankle injury is common and may take 6 weeks to heal. 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.

I am 25 and I am having problems with my gums bleeding. I brush my teeth everyday and if I suck hard through my mouth my gums will start bleeding profusely. It has been happening more frequently lately. I have also noticed that my gums in the back where my wisdom teeth are supposed to be are swelling and more sensitive than they have been in the past with throbbing pain.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bleeding gums could be because of the infected gums causing gingivitis or peritonitis. It can occur secondary to deposits due to improper maintenance oral hygiene. Consult your oral physician and get your teeth cleaned. If it is peritonitis of wisdom tooth you need to take radiograph to see the space in the bone whether tooth can erupt or not. If space is not sufficient to accommodate the tooth then tooth has to be removed. meanwhile till you consult a physician you can do saline gargling. After consulting the physician you can start with a course of antibiotic like penicillin and analgesics like diclofenac. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.

My 9 month old has had a runny nose (clear mucous) and watery eyes (no redness) for the last 4 days. She doesnt appear to be fussy or uncomfortable. I do hear the congestion in her nose when she is breathing. She just finished 10 day antibiotic course for ear infection. Does this sound like a cold, or an allergy?
|
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 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. For cold, you can use Cetirizine at 0.25\u00a0mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days. For nasal block, plain saline nasal

Hi doctor, I am twelve and I am afraid I have a bladder infection. I really dont want to though. I get constipation a lot sometimes and I feel like my bladder is not emptied every time I go to the bathroom. Please dont tell me to go to the doctor because I cant afford to. Is there a way to treat it naturally?thanks
|
For treating constipation, you must eat a diet rich in fiber like fresh fruits such as apples, guava, pears, papaya all of which promote bowel function. Eat whole grain cereals like broken wheat oatmeal or Dalian (Hindi), whole wheat flour chapati, you can add wheat bran (commercially available) to foods like pancakes to increase fiber content. Avoid refined foods like maid and its products like bakery items viz. buns, biscuits, cakes and pastries. Limit intake of such foods and also junk foods like burger, pizza, noodles all of which are refined. If you want to have noodles, then add lots of vegetables to increase fiber content. Have vegetables in the form of raw salads like cucumber, tomatoes, onions, radish, carrots. You can add sprouted pulses and grams like green gram or whole moon and Bengal gram or whole Chaney to salads to increase fiber as well as proteins. Chat Doctor. Sleep well as lack of adequate sleep also leads to constipation and stay active throughout the day to enhance bowel movements. A glass of warm water with lemon and honey/sugar taken empty stomach early in the morning also stimulates bowel activity. Hope my advice will help you to relieve constipation.

Hi, I m 22 years old and have nail patella syndrome and have a webbed elbow. I ve lower back pain and soreness for about 6 years. Acute pain sometimes can be felt in lower left side of the back when i stand for long. I ve a body like anterior pelvic tilt and suspected that I ve spondylolisthesis. Is it highly likely that I ve this illness and is it advisable I do a surgery?
|
Dear patient First we have to confirm diagnosis. You have to go for X-ray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to confirm diagnosis. If X-ray shows displacement of one vertebra on other diagnosis is confirmed. Next investigation is lateral view of lumbosacral spine in flexion and extension posture. If it is showing correction or more displacement than only surgery is required. You need to consult expert spine surgeon with report. All the best.

hi doc my name is priya am married wit one son in may i had the copper t and ever since i have been putting on weight no matter how much i tried exercise, eating rite noting helps the weight keeps on coming what to do is it because of the copper t plz i need help, am 31 yrs n weight 156 lbs
|
Hi Pripyat the outset I wish to make one thing clear. THE COPPER INTRAUTERINE DEVISE THAT YOU HAVE INSERTED HAS NO EFFECT ON YOUR BODY WIGHT. It does not decrease or increase your body weight. So continue using it. It would be appropriate if you had mentioned your BMI rather than weight alone. If you feel you are putting on weight for no apparent reasons consult endocrinologist. Sometimes endocrine disorders like hypothyroidism etc. can cause increase in weight. Once they are ruled out you need to take help from nutritionist and personal trainer at gym to reduce your weight. I hope I have answered to your satisfaction. If you have any further queries do contact me through Chat Doctor.

Sir i am 25 year old i started chewing gutkha for 1 month now i quite it completle because of black colour formation inside my mouth as well as mouth doesnt open properly. Previously i can put 4 to 5 finger inside my mouth now three. Suggest me some medicines for that. Thank you
|
Hi Thanks for the query. Well, within a month the mouth opening does not reduce so much Also 3 finger mouth opening is considered normal. Also, I would like to tell you that staining inside mouth can be due to tobacco chewing habit and in-case if you stop chewing tobacco, gradually the discoloration will reduce. If you feel thickening inside cheeks and tightness with blanching [blanching is whitish or pale appearance of the mucosa then you need to consult an oral physician and get checked so that he can rule out if there is any fibrous growth inside the cheeks and advise you medications accordingly. Hope this helps. Regards

I have skin allergy for about 5-6 years now which was more or less in control - as I had to take regular medicines. BUT now since last 3-4 days it has increased a lot and not controlled. I have red patches on all over the body and it is severely itching and non tolerable
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The worsening of your allergies implies that you have likely been re exposed to the allergen. Treatment would involve (1) avoiding further contact with the allergen- if you are unsure what you are allergic to, you may want to consider allergy testing(2) oral antihistamines(3)topical steroids to the area, since it is severe, you may need strong steroid creams which would require a prescription(4)a short course of oral steroids may be needed hope this helps

Had sex on d 12th of december and the condom slipped,I took postinor 2 3 hours later and d 2nd pill 12 hours later.on the 17th of december I bled till the 21st and now I was meant to get my last period on the 2 of jan but had it on d 8th of jan with my normal blood flow.Do I still need 2 get a pregnancy test?
|
Hello, thanks for sharing your health concern with us. In the current scenario, there is no need to perform a pregnancy test since you attained your natural period, though delayed by a week which often happens when an emergency contraceptive pill is taken. The bleeding you observed soon after the pill intake was the with Chat Doctor. The pill offers 85-98 percent protection depending upon the time interval at which it is consumed after the unprotected intercourse. Please make sure that you restrict the use of the emergency pill to one or two occasions per year in order to avoid hormone disturbances. Take care.

After I went to the dentist 4 years ago I was in excruciating pain and thought it was my wisdom teeth but after a week it finally eased up and now my lower left side on my gums will swell then it will turn in to a hard bump and then it will go away this happens about once a month maybe longer at times. I am pretty sure the dentist scratched my gums which is how this all starte. So what am iI dealing with?
|
Hit start with wisdom tooth pain experiences are variable. Most cases come up with excitation pain WRT to the gums covering the wisdom tooth partially, with food debris and infection cumulating over that area. This may get eased off if the gums are cleaned but may reoccur after a certain time gap. The treatment modality in such a case is either extraction of the tooth involved or operculectomy(removal of the gum tissue covering the tooth partially) if it has erupted some bit more.a minor scratch from your doctor cannot cause a huge bump also the same condition that you have mentioned had arisen in your lower gum as well. I advice you to go to a dentist as he will be the best understanding the treatment need clinically.trust your doctor. Take care.

Well madam, the best you've done was stopping Chat Doctor. The second I'd recommend to you would be a gradual weight loss in the future. But another important data I'd wanted to know is viral markers especially Bag and Anti HCV which are a must in hypertransaminasemias, and why not prothrombin time and INR. Meanwhile, you can begin with Legal on 200 mg three times a day and It E 100 mg three times a day. We can discuss again after the examinations done.

I am to have bellybutton hernia tic surgery this coming Tuesday. I realized yesterday that I have a touch of a reoccurring pneumonia. It has subsided today and if it gets no worse could I go ahead with the surgery? Or if put on antibiotics such as prednisone could I still go ahead with the surgery? Thank you. Ron
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, you are not supposed to take prednisone. Let me first clear your false belief. Prednisone is not an antibiotic. It is steroid. It is contraindicated in active infection like pneumonia. Prednisone being a steroid can reduce the immunity and makes patient vulnerable for infection. So prednisone is contraindicated. Don't take it. Better to get done pre-operative respiratory evaluation by pulmonologist. This will make your operative process easy. Don't worry, you will be alright. But don't take prednisone. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I did hernia operation 4 years ago and the stitches I had dodnt have any issues.suddenly lat couple of days I see the stitches are a bit swollen in ends and it pains ehen I touch the swollen part..pain is not inside..only in skin level..I dont remember hurting that place
|
Here this swelling and pain could be related to re herniation. As well if it's painful there might be infection too. You need to do ultrasound once again to check the position of previous operation done. Whether it is all well or it is disturbed. Here you have not mentioned which hernia it was or where the stitches are kept so not able to help you much. But will suggest you must visit your doctor once again if possible the same doctor who have done surgery first time. Ibsuggest do not delay and visit your doctor as early bad possible because of there is infection then it can be dangerous. And you need immeimmediate treatment. Take care.

Yes please. My husband has a lump on the left middle part of his back, right side. It feels like it is between the rib and skin and the size of maybe 1/2 of your little finger, what could this be. Also acouple of days before he had done some heavy lifting
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your husband has lump on his back. It can be due to some soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma. OT it can be some other mass. He should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then he should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi doctor, i have a specific chest pain that only happens when i breathe in. It seems to be on the left side of my chest in a specific spot i can point to. The pain doesn t seem to radiate to the shoulder or arm, although i feel a bit of back pain very occasionally. It hurts mostly when i breathe in deep and it s sharp and aching. Also when my posture is bad. I have constant anxiety over heart attacks (i have a history of generalized anxiety and hypochondria) even though the only real factor i have for a heart attack is being overweight. I m fairly young - only 21 years old - but still worried. Is this something i should see someone about?
|
Thanks for your question completely understand your questioning young age Chest pain can be due to - pleural causes like effusion, which can be catchy and sharp-gastritis- lung ailments-rarely cardiac you should visit a Pulmonologist who can evaluate the cause of Chest pain by requesting a chest X-ray an ECG and an endoscopy if required this ll lead to a cause in my opinion and in my patients I usually follow the same and start them on proton pump inhibitors and an analgesic to relieve the symptomsthanksfeel free to ask more questions

Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Just to explain, gloss refers to an old scar in brain. It is not an active disease, so, this does not require any treatment as such. However, looking at the description, it seems to me that the child is suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). You can take him to a psychologist/Neurologist/pediatrician for evaluation for the same, as good medications are available to treat this. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

My partners father was diagnosed several days ago with salivary gland cancer. He looks like he sallowed a golf ball. Yesterdays scan showed that he has cancer in his liver, lungs, stomach, pancreas, pretty much all over. He found out about the salivary cancer by accident when he was sent to the doctor for blood work prior to having his pacemaker batteries replaces. Other than the pacemaker he has NEVER been sick a day in his life. He plays 18 holes of golf every Friday until just very recently and will be 90 years old in two weeks. The doctor says no reason to operate on the tumors in his neck, so what now?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has salivary gland cancer. It may be primary or metastatic carcinoma. However, you have metastasis in other organ also. So it is already a stage 4 cancer. Surgery is not helpful in that. Treatment of choice remains chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Despite treatment prognosis remains poor. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi, I am calling about my husband. He has pulmonary Fibrous, asthma, emphysema, and a right sided diaphram paralysis. Hw is 82 years old, on O2 24/7. He has started to have intermittent, pulsating headaches. We do not know what to do at this time. His blood oximetry is 90 and pulse 82.What would you suggest?
|
Hello thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for your health related queries can understand your concern. Your husband of 82 years age has pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, emphysema and diaphragmatic paralysis. He is having severe pulsatile headache in episodes. As he is 82 years old and have chronic respiratory illness, so his headache should be evaluated and investigated properly. If headache is very severe he should undergo MR imaging to rule out any vascular lesions though as symptoms are occurring in episodes, so possibility is very unlikely. If his examination comes normal then for headache he can be given OTC analgesics like Paracetamol. Common medicines like Amitriptyline, Sodium Valproate can be used to relieve his headache. Medicines like beta blockers as Propranolol should be avoided because it may further aggravate the asthma. Visit a neuropsychiatric for prescription. Thanks, hope this helps you.

I recently went to the ER and was diagnosed with a ligament strain. I ve been icing my left hip for over a week now. I am intermittently black and blue from my sacrum through my left hip and forward to the pelvis. I stand for work (2 days a week) and that hip really aches. The only thing that helps is either Tylenol #3 or Neurontin. How long will this pain go on? and/or should I go to a Dr.?
|
Hello, If it's a ligament strain diagnosed by your physician, then it requires about six weeks to completely heal. I would suggest you take it easy for four more weeks and avoid sports and strenuous activities until that time. I would also suggest you consult your physician again after six weeks if you don't have relief or the pain worsens. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

hi, i last had my period at the end of july and now i am half way through october and still no period. my last period was just like a quarter size and it was just once and then i didnt have any bleeding after that. i have been very tired lately, have back and shoulder pain,and tender breast (which i only got when i was going to start my period). my boyfriend and i have had unprotected sex but we always tried to be careful, could this mean anything?
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion in case if you have regular cycles the cause for absence of periods should be evaluated and the first thing like pregnancy should be ruled out. I would like you to consult doctor and get physical examination and necessary investigations like ultrasound done. Tiredness, tender breasts are present in pregnancy, but the confirmation is done only after physical examination and ultrasound. The diagnosis might not be possible alone with symptoms. So relax. Avoid stress. And go for further workup. Hope this helps. Best regards...

yes hi ,i had a car accident 2 days ago, i am 7 weeks peregnanat ,thay took me to the hospital but thay did not do any x-ray on my chest beaucuse of peregnanacy ,today after 2 days i have more pain my chest ,i dont know what to do ,if in case i have broken part in the chest what are the side efect not to tacing care of?.thanks leily
|
Hello, Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor, Xrays is not done during pregnancy - except for life-saving cases. This will harm the baby. Nothing to worry. Even if there is fracture of rib - it will heal by its own. Nothing special is done for rib fractures. The only problem with you is that - you are not supposed to take much painkiller, that will harm the baby. Local application of pain relief creams, local hot fomentation, and paracetamol should be tried first to get rid of pain, if not then only any painkiller should be taken. You have to watch for symptoms like - blood in cough or sputum, if this happens visit your doctor immediately. Regards, Chat Doctor.

Hi, Intercourse soon after a period during a 28-30 day cycle is safe even without any precaution. As you have taken two doses of the emergency pill, your hormonal balance will be disturbed and your cycle tends to be delayed. You are safe from pregnancy as you took the pill within the stipulated time. If you do not see a period after 10-14 days after the due date, please consult a specialist for further help. In the future, please restrict the use of emergency pill to once or twice a year and use some form of regular contraception instead. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I have about 4 lumps on the right side of my labia minora each containing small white dots. Nothing happens if I try to squeeze them. One of them is painful to touch (stings). Could this be herpes? If not, what else could it be. Please I am desperate to know.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some sexual transmitted infection or some benign cyst. You should consult gynecologist and go for examination. It will give you exact diagnosis. If needed go for biopsy of that lump. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hellespont blame yourself for this Conception depends on number of factors like Sex near the time of ovulationpatency of fallopian tubes and release of ovum have seen the number of patients in my clinic and I would advise them for battery of tests like semen analysis for you and ovulation study as well as HSG for your wife. As far premature ejaculation is concerned you can very easily overcome this. Problem with behavioral therapy and medicines are also available for it. Please write back to me with a relevant information and complete medical history so that I will be able to guide you more accurately Best wishes

I AM EATING RAW RICE EVERYDAY ABOUT 3CUPS A DAY.IS IT CAUSE JAUNDICE OR WEIGHT GAIN?I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND IAM A ITP PATIENT.NOW I AM 25 YEARS OLD AND HAVE 75 KG WEIGHT.I WANT TO GET RID OF THIS HABIT AND WANT TO LOSE MY WEIGHT TO 63KG.COULD YOU PLEASE SUGGEST ME A WAY BECAUSE I AM TOO ASHAMED OF MYSELF TO TELL TO ANT OTHERS
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. It won't cause any weight gain more than other cooks rice. So weight gain depends on how many calories you take per day and how much you lose. If you eat only rice then you probably won't gain weight, but if you eat rice and too much other sugars, fats then you may gain weight. Also, it won't cause any liver damages, but it is not recommended to eat raw rice since it may have bad effect on digestion ADN certain infections may develop. Wish you good health.

HiI just finished 6 chemotherapy treatments ( 3 weeks apart) for fallopian tub cancer. The treatment is the same as is for ovarian SGOT is 48 and my SGPT is 94. Could the elevated numbers be due to the chemotherapy? Whats your opinion on this?Valerie
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your liver enzymes level are slightly increased. It may be due to chemotherapy OT may be due to some other cause like alcohol, viral infection or toxins. No need to worry. No, any treatment is required right now. Just repeat your liver enzymes level after a month. Mostly it will come back to normal. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

I was frotting with my boyfriend, and he almost stuck his penis inside me (by accident) as soon as I told him to stop he stopped. I doubt he even got 1cm of his head inside me. It was also a couple of hours after my period. I have no idea if I m pregnant. We re both virgins and we have never done anything like this before. So I guess I m asking weather or not I would be pregnant. Please help.
|
Hello dear, I.understand your concern. In my opinion there is no chance of pregnancy in your case. There is scope for pregnancy when the semen is ejaculated inside or around the vagina during the fertile or unsafe period. There is no chance for pregnancy in your case as semen ejaculation did not occur and moreover 1 week before and after the period comes under safe period where pregnancy doesn't occur even with ejaculation. So relax. Avoid stress. There cannot be any pregnancy in your case. Best regards...

Hi, I suffer from blood clots in the left leg and lung. I am on Innohep blodthinners but have had clots while on the bloodthinners. I keep having horrific pain in either one side or the other side of my chest. It is so bad that I cannot breathe from the pain and I have to go to Emergency to get checked. The last 3 times, it has not been blood clots, but I have to go in anyway because of my history. Now the pain is beyond belief, what could be causing it. I am not puling muscles from exercise, and it does not feel muscular.
|
Hello, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I read your query and understand your concerns. The presence of recurrent leg pain and chest pain clearly indicates that the deep vein thrombosis is still going on despite the use of medications. Although there are multiple causes for it but blood disorders and interrupted flow of blood in venous system is most important. In addition, it is possible that prescribed dose of income is inadequate. I will request you to get PT and INR from nearby laboratory to know the commutability of blood. This will help you in deciding the optimum dose of Income. I hope this answers you. Thanks again.

8 days ago I had a fever of 101.6 along with flu-like symptoms that lasted 3 days. 6 days ago I woke up in excruciating pain in my ears,but temp had dropped to 99.9. My dr called in a Z-Pack and a refill on my inhaler(I have asthma). 6 days ago I starting having violent,spasmodic coughing spells that is helped by cough syrup and inhaler for about an hour then nothing. My fever still comes and goes and I m just wondering at what point should I go to the ER? Is there a possibility that I have bronchitis or pneumonia if my cough is not continuous?
|
You probably have an ear infection called Otis media. It causes fever with severe earache which is suddenly relieved when the tympanic membrane perforates. Otis media is preceded by an upper respiratory infection in many cases. In your case, I suggest that you see an ENT specialist. He would examine your ear canal with an horoscope for arriving at the diagnosis and recommend antibiotics for treatment.

I m 80 yrs COAD patient having urea 102 cr createnine 2.0 tlc 12000 and today I m under treatment witChatDoctorplained of pneumonia used medicines with nebulizer of asthalin , tab telecast plus, nefrosave, nef rolive, cloptas today seezaling in my body its why
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. ROAD (chronic obstructive airway disease) is progressive disease of lung. And lung infection (pneumonia) is very common complication of ROAD due to poor lung defense. The best treatment for pneumonia is identification of causative organism and appropriate antibiotic based on culture and sensitivity report. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done sputum culture to isolate the causative organism and sensitivity report for guidance of antibiotic treatment. Control of pneumonia is must for control of ROAD.

I have developed a lump on my forehead which is very painful. I think I hit the car door. It hurts all the time, its just above my left eyebrow. Also my rectum really burns and aches while passing stool and after I pass it. Have also developed a hard lump on my outer right thigh.. Are all these connected?
|
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. The lump on your forehead could be due to a traumatic hematoma (collection of blood) which would resolve of its own in a few days. Just take some anti-inflammatory and a proton pump inhibitor for three to four days. The pain in your rectum could be due to a fissure in ANO if you are constipated. In that case you should go for an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Add site bath to it (sitting on a Luke warm water filled tub) three to four time a day for five minutes each. I am hopeful that you would get relief with this strategy, but I am afraid it would return if constipation (hard stool) occurs again for you. Therefore, to prevent the constipation, please avoid high protein diet, add a lot of roughage and fresh fruits along with sufficient liquids. Go for a regular exercise program. To know the nature of the hard lump, one has to have a personal physical examination of the swelling, and if need be an FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) to have the nearest diagnosis. Further management would depend on the reports of the test. I would also let you know that both the later symptoms might not be related to the lump on the forehead, and might be independent entities by themselves. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

Dear Doctor, My father (63) had by-pass surgery in 2011 and off late we noticed repeated syncope. After ruling out cardio-related problems we switched now to a potential Neuro issue. EEG was found to be normal. Doppler Carotid was conducted yesterday. It had following statements and along with his other medicines, he has been advised to take Levipil 500 twice a day
|
Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. When we deal with a syncope we have to evaluate cardiac and neurological problems. According to cardiac issues. There are different cardiac reasons that might cause a syncope. The most important one are rhythm issues like atrioventricular block, severe bradycardia, long heart pauses, arrhythmia. All sow it is quite known in cardiology that sometimes several people do heart blocks after cardiac surgeries. To exclude cardiac factors it is mandatory to do some examinations. It is very important to verify in what situations do the syncope happen each time, in what situations. So, if I was your treating doctor I will recommend cardiac echocardiography and the most important a holder rhythm monitoring for minimally 48 h. This rises the possibility to catch any problem. You must know that the rhythm monitoring is random, it might happen that you do it but it doesn't happens anything with your rhythm during that day, and so we don't catch anything, So it is mandatory to take it as long as possible and repeat it. According to the Carotid result, it doesn't explain the syncope. So my opinion is to continue and do holder rhythm monitoring and if no result, maybe a head CT scan. Hope I was helpful. Wish your father good health. Best regards.

Took my Husband to Dentist yesterday as he woke up with pain. He says he needs a apicoectomy on tooth 9 and 10. He gave him Amoxicillin 500 mg to take 3 times a day and Vicadin 5-300 mg 1 tab every 4-6 hours as needed. Today is Sunday and all offices closed. But he woke up this morning in a lot of pain and face is swollen in affected area. It is 9 am and he now has had 4 doses of the amoxicillin in him since yesterday and pain pills every 4 hours. I guess my question is what now? He is to have the surgery this week some time after we make arrangements for him to get off work. She we schedule it sooner than later or wait for the antibiotics to work longer. Can he take more than 1 pain pill if he has to? Just want to get thru this day. Ice?
|
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Yes you can definitely do local ice application. He can take Coquitlam as a painkiller, if the prior does not work so well on him. But remember to take any one of them. Continue with antibiotics religiously. Do warm saline rinses. Visit your dentist and get the access opening done to let the pus out. This would help him overcome his pain. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.

I had a colonoscopy today.Two polyps were removed, since arriving home Ive had a dull pain in my lower left abdoman constant and a stabbing pain if I move. Also it seems to be affecting my left thigh/groin . Could this be trapped wind ? Or should I seek more help
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of having colonoscopy today and had 2 polyps removed. Since you have arrived home you have developed dull pain in the left lower abdomen, constant and stabbing pain if you move. And the left thigh and groin too is affected by the pain. This can be a trapped wind, but there is a more chance that there is a perforation of the colon.Hence, I would advise you the following things to be done immediately. Rush to the ER or the hospital where colonoscopy was performed. Stop taking anything orally. You need an urgent admission, intravenous fluids and intravenous antibiotics too. Investigations

what is the use of dubagest 100 tablet? will it avoid the pregnancy? my wife has delay period last 10 days, she is talking dubagest 100 tablet to avoid the pregnancy from last four days, please let us know what to do to avoid the pregnancy as we do not want child at this stage...
|
Hello, Dubagest can be taken as a contraceptive pill, meaning to prevent pregnancy. It has to be used regularly, and may take up to a week to give protection. First, because your wife has delayed periods, she needs to have a pregnancy test first. If the test is negative she may continue to use Suggest. In this case, if your wife has been using Suggest for only 4 days, she may not be protected as yet, and you may need to use condoms as well for the next few days. I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.

|
Hello, I would suggest you spend time with him every day after school and ask him about his day at school. Try to find out his interest and whether there is something happening in school OS affecting him. Encourage healthy food and exercise and make sure his weight is appropriate for his age and height. Make him understand that it is important that he should be healthy and not worry much about his looks much. Find out his interest and try to channelize his energy and divert him if he is worried about unnecessary things. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Help! Please... I have been diagnosed by Mayo with pelvic floor tension myalgia, IBS, and IC... these have proven to ge totally disabiling 2 or 3 days every week. I ve tried so many medications, accupuncture, ice packs, high-fiber, gluten-free, whatever, whenever... Nothing is helping. Any suggestions?
|
For pelvic floor tension Sylvia along with IBS, you have tried with medication, fiber rich diet and hot and cold pack also. I suggest you should take physiotherapy treatment along with this. There are specific treatment available along with exercise therapy which can help you a lot with IBS and pelvic floor tension Sylvia. It will be more effective again when you do a combine treatment along with medication, diet management, and use of hot and cold pack. I also suggest improving your lifestyle and food habits in terms of timing and add more colors by adding more fruits and vegetables in your diet, add omega 3 along with fiber in diet. Do regular morning and evening exercises as guided by physiotherapist. As well take proper medication as directed by your doctor. Mylgia is basically pain in muscle due to over strain, so I also suggest to practice meditation and try to control your bodies natural normal functioning along with that with power of meditation and body healing. Here I have given you general guideline but bi am sure this will definitely help you if you follow properly. Take care.

Sir ,.my father is 76 years old.For last 7years had had been suffering from the problem of recent memory loss .Now it is developed to the extend that eveytime he cofused regarding place and prson. He was shown to Doctor .at the time of examination he was just asked certain questions. In some questions he answered properly and in some not.After diagnosis doctor did not tell us whether he is suffering from dementia or alzimer or any other problem. and prescrimed certain medicine like donep Sir can it be diagnosised properly actually to know what is the problem of my father?Is it necessary to do CT scan or MRI and Is It necessary to see whether he has any infection in urinary track? I am waiting for your answer Bijit Choudhury E-mail
|
Dear Bit, i perfume that you father memory and other higher mental functions like cognition speech etc. were normal before 60 yrs of age. Then this looks like a case of Alzheimer Type DEMENTIA, which is usually treated with first line medication as DONEPEZIL which in a way acts as a booster (prevents destruction of Neurotransmitter inside the brain). And Ct scan won't show anything unless he has some problems like an Evolving stroke which is unlikely. MRI however could Determine Changes in his Grey matter which may point to the cause. No Need to do check for UTI if he doesn't have any trouble in urinating do not complain of pain while urinating. Hope this Helped you Thank you

Hello Doctor, I am suffering from unexplained secondary infertility and taking treatment since Nov 2010 but not successful. I just changed my doctor after examination she told me i have swelling in uterus .So she gave me CCQ 50, Trypsin Chypsin (Chymec Forte) and Doxycilin 100mg for 10 days. I just need to know am i on right track. As i have already taken enough and almost every treatment. Kindly help a stressed patient. Regards, Shelly
|
HelloThanks for your query. From your statement it looks like that you have unexplained infertility. It seems that you have been taking medicines without getting investigated properly There is nothing like swelling of the uterus that should be the cause of infertility. Please consult some Infertility Specialist who will carry out some blood test to find out cause of infertility and treat you accordingly. Do not worry what you need is to have proper evaluation.

yes, i am trying to get my husband to see a neurologist to find out how extensive his brain and heart damage is, and if they will ever heal after he got hurt at work last august while running an excavator at a dairy farm by the toxic gases from a liquid manure truck that ran all day every day for the entire 5 days he was there fixing the canal.
|
Hello. Thanks for asking from Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. There are mainly four manure gases which cause tissue damage - HY Chat Doctor. They cause mainly irritation of breathing apparatus e.g. nose, oral cavity, larynx, trachea and lungs. This is followed by poor oxygen intake and ultimately hypoxia and asphyxia. Poor oxygen amount in blood leads to damage to brain, heart and rest organs. Direct damage to brain and heart occurs at high concentration of these gases which is usually fatal. Now in case of your husband, damage to heart and brain can only be predicted after evaluating his signs and symptoms. If he is conscious, oriented, following simple commands, able to answer simple \"yes-no\" questions, able to remember important date/ad

hi respected sir i want 2 ask u that i m not getting the real time the month of my pregnancy ... i missed my periods on 26 jan then my urine was negitive whole month i kept on trying checking my urine then on 27 feb my urine came positive .... so on 16 march i visited a doctor she was confused as she could not see fetous so kindly guide me month jan i just missed my period due other reason ... and pregnancy occured after 25 jan and on 27 feb my month was completed so urine was positive ....thank u
|
Hallow Dear, the main question is whether you are pregnant or not! Your pregnancy tests are negative, your doctor could not locate the fetus (by which method?). On what grounds are you presuming that you are pregnant? My advice is to get ultrasonography done. It will help you to diagnose the status of your pregnant, assess its gestational age and help you to calculate the due date of delivery. If ultrasonography shows that you are not pregnant, then the cause of your delayed period will have to be investigated. Reproduction hormonal imbalance, Thyroid dysfunction, etc. may cause menstrual irregularity. You will need a thorough work up if you are not pregnant. If you are pregnant, ultrasonography will help you decide the due date of parturition. Otherwise, the simplest formula to calculate due date is date of last menstrual period + 9 months + 7 days. I hope this serves your purpose.

Good evening Doctor, I m reading about DMSO and so interested to buy to help me with my joint pain and other pain that goes with aging. But my question is what should I buy, there s pharmaceutical grade, there/s 70%, there s topical. and are they safe?
|
Hello, Topical since it is not taken internally has lower toxicity. Mostly it is not tested in humans for most of what I see around. Pharmaceutical Grade MIGHT be safety tested. BUT, it is a powerful inhibitor of harmful inflammation that does NOT suppress useful immunity. It just didn't have a patent and so Chat Doctor. So, it's a bit of a risk since it isn't tested rigorously for safety. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Hello, I have a tooache. I think it is caused by a decaying tooth in the final position of upper row. I have taken Advil for 3 days (today is the third day). But the pain comes back every 5 hours. I cant see a dentist today since it is holiday in Canada now. What else can I do to relieve the pain at least until I see a dentist tomorrow? Is it ok when I take advil for 3 days, which means that I took 4 tablets totally? When the pain is still here, can the decaying tooth be removed? I also wash my mouth by water with salt (salt is used for cooking). Is it dangerous for the pain? Thanks.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain is because of the root tip infection in the tooth(acute apical periodontitis). You need to get a radiograph to rule out the tooth infection. If the tooth has sufficient structure left(>60%), then it can be restored with RCT and crown. If I am your treating doctor, I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and metronidazole 400\u00a0mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). You can continue taking Advil three times daily till you consult the oral physician. You can do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

I have been experiencing intermittent pain and swelling in my hands, wrists, ankles and toes. Currently, the swelling and pain is better, but my wrists are stiff and sore. Is this just age-related pain and discomfort? I feel like I m too young (43) to have this type of pain!
|
First, you are not too young. The peak of rheumatoid arthritis starting is younger than 40. Then, there are two large groups of arthritis, osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis. Osteoarthritis is wear and tear. As such it tends to be on the Bing joints first, and it certainly is not even on both sides. Rheumatoid is an inflammatory disease. It occurs mostly in the small joins of fingers and toes. It is generally the same amount on both sides but tends to skip large joints.

I have very bad lower back Pain n mild white discharge my usg is normal and urine test also two weeks back I had take abortion pills and had a successful abortion... My usg docent evn show pid what can b cause of my lower back pain? My stool report shows lamblia
|
Low back pie may be of different reasons. You have to ascertain the type of pain. Either it is confined to lower BCK or, radiates from lower back to lower abdomen (groin). Pain may be cramps or shooting. If PID is already diagnosed then that might be the cause of pain. But you have to have an X-ray(LS spine) and am MRI(LS spine) done to rule out spinal etiology of low backache. After this has been done further decision can be taken.

Hi welcome to ChatDoctorI have gone through your query regarding your back stress, Dear, there are many factors causing this trouble as your age, lifestyle, food habits, exertion at work place or home, faulty posture, lack of exercise, mensuration or menopause in case of women. Adopt right posture of sitting, standing and bending to avoid stress in back. If you eat a well-balanced but simple, easily digestible diet with plenty of fibers, fish, fruits and vegetables, vitamins, minerals. You should get enough of the nutrients you need every day, but if you're not getting enough of nutritious diet, a lot of health problems hover on you, as a lifesaver, besides taking antioxidants, lemon juice with water & pinch of salt and pepper, Aloe vera juice 25 ml +AMLA juice 2 spoons, papaya, coconut water, ginger, garlic fenugreek powder 1 spoon with water, turmeric powder a level spoon with cup of hot milk at bedtime, Avoid fried, fast foods' tea, coffee, alcohol, smoking, mental stress, worry anxiety and most important is to clear you bowls. As constipation is mother of all ills. Last but not the least for proper blood circulation, regular walk, front bending exercise, yoga, pranayam-deep breathing proper rest & sound sleep, helps in detoxifying and strengthening the immune system to enhance resistance from diseases and pave way for healthy, happy, disease free life. Adopt right posture of sitting, standing and bending Do back bending exercises. Never ever do front being it worsens the situation.

Hi Doctor, My father is on Peritoneal Dialysis since last 2 years. Suddenly few days back (about a month Back) he has started losing his appetite . Infact in last 1 week he has not eaten anything. He says he doesn t feel eating. He has become very weak, loosing nearly 2 Kg of his weight every week. We got some blood tests done and the general practitioner says all are normal. The fluid after dialysis is showing cloudiness. So today we contacted our nephrologist who asked us to admit him immediately as it seems to be clearly infection. I am still not clear what kind of infection ?? Is it the site entry/exit infection or peritonitis ? Our doc said that he just needs to clear out all the infection from the peritoneum. He won t be shifted to HD during this period and PD would continue.
|
HiT hanks for the query. Cloudy fluid is often a sign of peritonitis. This can be confirmed by testing the peritoneal fluid after it has been in the abdomen for 2 hours. We need to do cell count, Gram stain and culture. Your doctor will also suggest the appropriate antibiotics which need to be instilled in the abdomen. Usually PD is continued during an episode of peritonitis and there is no need to switch to HD Hope this helps Good luck

Hi. I had gone through your query and understand your concern. Insomnia or sleep difficulty is one of the prime features of depression. Loneliness/sad mood/mood swings/crying spell etc. suggestive of depression. It is treatable illness and early treatment will bring faster and better recovery. Proper psychological evaluation and mental status examination are necessary for diagnosis and treatment. It can be treated with medicines like SSRI/anxiolytic/psychotherapy and counseling /Electron convulsive therapy etc. Choice of treatment is depended upon symptoms and its severity. Consult psychiatrist and get help. I hope I have answered your query. Thank you.

Got a little cold this morning and placed a towel over the chest area and got warm, but realized the estimated 3 below the trach. and 2 left was a bit sore. The nickel size is right on the bone line of the collar bone. Right side is normal, flat and not puffed under skin. I do have sinus drainage and mild cough. Is this something to be concerned about?

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. If I understand you correctly you are talking about enlarged nodes in your neck with discharging sinus. If I am right it is a cause of concern and will require detailed evaluation and investigations for the same. Kindly consult your doctor at the earliest for the same.Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Tithe problem may not necessarily be on your side. Female factor or a combined male and female factor may be in place. And tuberculosis need not lead to infertility. Your sperm and semen parameters can be pretty good in spite of a history of tuberculosis. Therefore, I suggest that you (couple) have a thorough infertility work up at a well-equipped infertility center, where they will obtain your complete health, medical, sexual and other history, order necessary tests and arrive at possible causes for your continued infertility. Today there are a number of treatment options available for even the most difficult cases of infertility.
