Hi my sister has the implant taken out on 5th November and straight away tried to get pregnant. Well she is now pregnant but she had a period in December and a little in January but the midwife says she can feel her uterus and is about 12-13 weeks but from her period and her clear blue test she is only 6 weeks. Could she be having twins or just have a thick uterus?
|
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. The Clearblue test is not very accurate in predicting gestational age. The amount of pregnancy hormone in a women urine can vary depending on the time of day she did the test and how much water she had to Chat Doctor. Furthermore, many women have some bleeding in the first trimester of pregnancy, so the bleeding she had in December and January may not have been her real period at all. The most accurate way to test the age of a pregnancy, is an ultrasound exam to measure the fetus. This is normally done during the course of her routine prenatal care. An ultrasound is also necessary to determine if there is more than one fetus present. In your sisters case, if she conceived in November, the measurements of her uterus at this point would be accurate. So I would recommend that she have an ultrasound exam (which I am sure will be done soon as part of her routine prenatal care) to confirm her due date and the viability of the pregnancy. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes to your sister for her pregnancy,

Hello.I ve been having breathing problems for more than a month. I feel like I can t breathe as if someone is suffocating me.It especially gets worst when I lay down or am asleep. I have been to two doctors, the first doctor diagnosed me with asthma and said I need to take cortisone inhalers. After a week of using it for only once a day, it got a lot better.After I stopped using the inhaler, the breathing difficulties returned again. This time, I went to a different doctor since the old one wasn t available anymore. The other doctor said I do not have asthma at all. I made many different tests and they all said I was fine. I didn t have anemia or heart problems and my blood pressure was just fine. The doctor just gave me a multivitamin for general health and said I need to come back for the X-Ray for my chest. What could be the real reason for it? It s getting really worst lately. I don t know what to do anymore. For some reason, my parents and doctor doesn t think i m asthematic, but I was diagnosed with it as a child and one time during my teenage years, and the other doctor disagrees about me having it in the first place. I don t have coughing or weezing, just shortness of breath. How come the inhaler made me feel better if it wasn t the case? Thanks, Allison.

Hello Allison, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and can understand your concern and confusion. I would like to know more about you like your age, nose symptoms (nose congestion, running nose, nose itching, etc.), whether you are exposed to passive smoking/polluted environment, etc. However, at present, from your provided details, I would like to make suggestions for you as follows

Respected sir. My cousin is not feeling well. Initial his heart beat was very high along with blood pressure. That was cured. Then he suffered from gastro-intestine problem. It is also cured. But now he is SUFFERING FROM SOME PROBLEM that IS HIS WHILE WALKING AROUND 50 METERS HIS BACK SIDE OF THE NECK WILL START PAIN AND EYES BECOME BLIND THEN HE FEELS TIRED AND CANT WALK. SAME TIME BACK PORTION OF THE HEAD WILL START PAIN. He feels always giddiness and tiredness. Please sir this is my kind request what would be the problem and solution? Dinesh.
|
Hello, I would suggest you that since your cousin is already having High blood pressure and increased heart rate he should get his full cardiac check-up done. It seems he is having decreased cardiac function which are causing his symptoms. You should consult a cardiologist who may advise an ECHO and TMT to assess his cardiac function. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. Amman, General & Family Physician

My mother is 52 & 5ft 6in. Lately she has been having high blood pressure ranging from 159/104 - 173/92. Its usually lower than this, but lately it has been high. Is this something she should be concerned about & maybe even seek medical attention for?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, sh should definitely consult doctor for this blood pressure reading. Common causes for hypertension in females are 1. Increasing age (stiffness of arteries) 2. Post menopausal age (low estrogen) 3. Family history. So first two are likely causes in your mothers case. She should definitely consult doctor and get done 1. Blood pressure control 2. ECG and 2d echo to rule other heart diseases 3. Sugar level time rule out diabetes 4. Lipid profile to rule out dyslipidemia. She will need antihypertensive Chat Doctor. Along with

I have started vertigo at different times in the morning,evening and upon getting out of bed in the middle of the night. I had a brain scan c.t. also a ultra sound done on arterites Dr. says they came out fine. I am still experiencing vertigo every now and again. what do you think my problem is?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. If you get vertigo spells only when you are out of your bed at certain times then it might be benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo are triggered by specific changes in the position of your head, such as tipping your head up or down, and by lying down, turning over or sitting up in bed. You may also feel out of balance when standing or walking. Since your CT scan brain is normal, it can help if you get Electronystagmography (ENG) or videonystagmography (VNG) done to record abnormal eye movements while your head is placed in different positions or your balance organs are stimulated with water or air. For this you might consult the ENT specialist.

Hello, I ve been taking Adderall IR for a year now with no major physical side effects, however as of recently I got pretty painful sore throat and swollen tonsils. So i chalked it up to dehydration as my sinuses were super swollen and dry as well. After 2 days the sore throat subsided with plenty of decaf tea, lozenges etc. Now whenever i take any adderall whatsoever, as little as 10mg, the left side of my head gets really tight and i get ear popping, like sinus pressure. Only its kind of scary to have half of your face get tight, first thing you think of is stroke. So i chewed some aspirin to see if that would help, it didn t. That was last night. I went to sleep, woke up fine. Took 10mg, again instant face and neck tightness, is this anxiety related? A typical sideffect? My heart is beating fast or anything. However, the tightness is accompanied by brain fog, like dreaminess, I m thinking its anxiety. Thanks
|
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. It could be caused by Adderall as an adverse Chat Doctor. It is possible that some of the medicines that you had taken during your episode of cold could be interacting with your Adderall. IT would be wise to be off your ADHD medicines for a few weeks and then give it a second try. If it is occurring exclusively after taking the medicines then it may not be anxiety. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link

I have a low platelet count problem. I have been facing this problem since long time. I feel weakness and dont get proper sleep (sleep only for about 3 hours in a day). I have to work during the day, but since I dont get proper sleep, this issue is of major concern to me. I eat a well balanced diet, fruits, Kellologs etc. I also take vitamin tablets and Raricap medicine. Please advise how can i solve my problem.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Low platelet counts occurs due to reduced platelet production or increased destruction of platelets in blood or destruction of platelet precursors in bone marrow. Platelet count is not affected by diet. Thus, you need to get peripheral blood examination, platelet parameters and bone marrow examination if required. The above-mentioned investigations will determine the cause of low platelet counts. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

skin problemI have been using eumosone cream for past 6 yrs on a daily basis. it keeps my skin blowing and fresh and smooth. but if i stop using is for two days or more, i start getting rashes, skin becomes rough and dry and skin gets darkened. i want to stop using this cream but then fear what would my face look like. can u please suggest any other neutral cream which would address to my problem?
|
Hi, You said you are applying eurozone cream for past 6 years. And you feel better. And after stopping it, you feel roughness, Chat Doctor. You do not know that the cream you apply is a steroid. And you may get many side effects on skin after long time use...like atrophy, depigmentation, telangiectasia.etc. I strongly advise stopping it immediately. You may use lover with vitamin E cream...like lover cream. You may feel better with such cream. I hope you will understand my view. Thanks.

Hi, i had the copper coil fitted 13 days ago. I have bled ever since. The blood is very red and quite like mucus . My stomach also seems bloated or bigger than it usually is despite excercising 4-5 days per week and having a healthy diet . Is this normal at this stage of having the coil fitted? I am not in any pain or discomfort.
|
Hello, It is possible for inter-menstrual spotting and irregular periods to occur in the initial 3-6 months after getting a coil inserted. Since you have been constantly bleeding for the past 10 days, it is essential that your doctor sees you and decides whether you should continue with the coil. Meanwhile, avoid exercise, intercourse and take bed rest. You can feel the threads yourself and check if they are in place. Please contact your doctor for further advice. Take care.

Hello I got a ear infection went to hospital and they gave me a z-pak and ear drops the pills work for a week but now I got infection again. What can I do? If I pee in a cup and pour it in my ear what would it do? One of my friends told me it works. Instead of going back to hospital again I don t work so it s hard to pay for medicine. The ear drops cost me $270.00 and zpak cost $35.00 I have no insurchance. Please help. Thanks John Stiles
|
HiT hanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor. I have read and understood your concern. Sorry to hear you are suffering from an ear infection. It will not be wise to pee and pour in your ear as you may further aggravate the infection. I wish to know the name of the ear Chat Doctor. I will advise you see the Doctor again for reevaluation.

Hello, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety. Anyway, before coming to this conclusion, I would recommend performing some tests
|
Hi Its been 2 years that we got married and since 1 year we are planning for a baby.Before that we were taking precautions( condoms ) .We have also consult our doctor but cannot see any progress. We have done some test me and mine husband s both. My reports were quite ok but with just a little infection.But my husband got low sperm count and more dead sperm.He is taking Fertyl-M and Himalya Sperpem.So my concern is our we going on correct track.What all are the other things that we should keep in mind. Kindly guide us Please we really need your help. Thanks Mudita
|
Hi, If low sperm count was detected on single semen analysis, it can be natural variation in sperm count (which can be present from as low as 0 to as high as 100million). In that case your husband can just repeat semen analysis to see the real situation. If its present on multiple occasions, better to go for investigating cause for it. Ferry might help, but it's not a proven formula. Other easy way is to eat plenty of antioxidants in form of tablet/dietary modification, avoid heat exposure to testis(wear loose fitting undergarment, avoid hot bath). If the count is suitable for GUI you can go for it for faster conception.

My daughter just had an MRI of the Lumbar Spine and results as follows
|
Hello, These MRI findings indicate that there are protrusions of the intervertebral discs in two levels of the lumbar spine. The narrowing at the L5-S1 level is mild, at the L4-L5 level is severe and nerves are compressed as well. Mild contrast enhancement means that there are inflammatory changes in the disc. It depends on the symptoms and neurological findings, however, the severe stenosis at L4-L5 may require surgery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

My father underwent an echocardiography,that revealed Ischaemic heart disease.Doctors are suggesting Enjiography,which can t be afforded right at this moment for monetary problems.Can you pls prescribe medicines for the time being to continue with.
|
Hello, Your doctor on the recommendation for coronary angiography. Anyway, I would like to review your cardiac ultrasound report in order to give a more professional opinion. In the meantime, I would recommend taking a daily aspirin to help prevent future myocardial infarction, taking statins in case of high cholesterol levels and avoid straining physical activity. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

i am 40 years age, hight is 5.10 ft , weast is 36 and weight is 90 kg, but my penis size is 5 and thin, I have four children.But now my wife not feel happy like before and I feel also. then please advice me what can i do,now she likes biger penis, what can i do ? Please advice .....
|
Hello misunderstand your concern No any relation between penis size and sexual intercourse. Vagina is sensitive to 3 inches of penis. As you can not increase size of finger, you can not increase the size of penis. Be realistic and understands the fact. Talk to your wife and explain the fact. You can stimulate your wife by kissing, fingering to clitoris and make romantic environment. Avoid stress and enjoy with reality. Hope this may help you Best regards

Hi.I found my 1 n half yr old son with an opened odomos naturals mosquito repellent cream & he seems to have just tasted it. ( not sure of the quantity he ate) i washed his hands n mouth immediately and he was normal. No vomiting. Aftr 1 hr he breastfeeded and slept. Is anythin to be worried or concerned?
|
Thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor. Demos contains a neurotoxic substance that can cause symptoms including stomach upset. If it is more than 4 hours after he could have taken it, stomach wash would not be helpful. If he is ok at the moment you can wait and observe and no need to worry. In any case if he has not ingested it, there is not much to be concerned. But in case of any sort of complications, rush to a hospital. Please do not try to cleanse his stomach on your own. Hope that helps. Feel free to revert in case of further queries if any.

Im a 24 year old male... In the last week my gums have become very tender, bleeding , have spots that are white or grey... The roof of my mouth has had what feels like sacs that bleed out when i touch them. A couple of my front teeth have even began to get what looks like rotting toward the base. Once again, all these symptoms just showed up and have rapidly increased in the last week
|
Hello there.there are various reasons for that...please mention if you have elevated spots over your palate(roof of your mouth), is it fluid filled? Or is it the just red patches?...do you have ulcerations all over your oral cavity or is it just the redness you are experiencing on your gums?all these questions will lead to diagnosis of your problem,,,,if they are fluid blisters the management differs...if it is just gum redness with bleed on stimulation the management differs...consult your dental surgeon for clinical examination and management... Clinical examination becomes very important for management of this kind of symptoms....

I have a small lumps all over my body, the first lump i detected is in the right lower region on my stomach on top of the right pelvic bone. It is a size of a small pea(1 cm) which moves if i touch, but it feels as if it is attached to the region but still able to move. There s no pain, but just some twitches sometimes. Even that i didn t took it seriously at first, because i thought it was a fat lump. I use to be a really big person, and i have lost around 55 kg over 1 and half years. I detect this lump around one to two month ago. But now im finding lumps whole over my body, on my arm(upper limb of my left hand), on my neck, left side on my mouth which can only be noticed if i touched from outer region, and finally on my left leg. I noticed all this lumps few days ago and i am really worried. Is this a swollen lymph nodes or something else? By the way I am only 19 years old male. There is history of a person(who is not a close relative who had cancer which is my uncle)

Based on your query data, In my opinion, Dear You seem to suffer from Drums Lipomatous/disease, which is a benign hereditary disease. A history of cancer would certainly keep you on Guard and ALERT.

Other wise-keep a watch if any of this lipoma grows and or causes cosmetic or pressure complaints, for which it would need Surgical Excision biopsy that time.Don't worry about this illness as it is harmless otherwise being a benign familial disease. Hope this would resolve your query and worry and Anxiety accompanied by it. Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME. I would love to help you out.Awaiting any further query.

I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to overcome obsessive thoughts. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

hi, my 2 1/2 year old son has been unwell for about 3 weeks now. he has had high fevers on and off, been very miserable, but the biggest thing worrying me that he wakes through the night up to every hour rolling around the bed crying, screaming and kicking like he is in pain. when i ask him what hurts he becomes inconsolable. i have taken him to our local GP but he screamed when he tried to check him over so he put it down to a viral infection. he gave us some antibiotics that we started yesterday and today he had a jelly like substance in his nappy. i am getting very concerned that there is really wrong with him. can you help?
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of on and off high fever which could be due to viral infection, infectious mononucleosis, sinusitis and respiratory tract infection. Need not worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done and start treatment after complete examination. You should take multivitamin tablet as well to booster immunity. Avoid excessive oily food and cold beverages. You should go for blood and urine tests for confirmation of diagnosis. Chat Doctor. Take antibiotic along with cough expectorant and NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen for 3-5 days. Chew vitamin C pellet daily. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

I am 37 year old man with no much physical activity except routine office and household work. I started jogging for last one week and I am noticing mild pain just below knee where patella ends. Also when knee is bend touching joint give considerable pain. Should I stop jogging? Thanks
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you were having a normal active lifestyle and started jogging from a week which is leading to pain at the inferior angle of patella I will advise you stop jogging for 2-3 days and then restart jogging slowly. Like start with 3 minutes walk followed by jogging for 2 minutes then again 3 minutes walk then again 2 minutes jogging. Repeat this for about 5 times and slowly after a week you can go for a one stretch jog. Usually such pain arises due to sudden performing of any activity leading to strain and sprain. Going slowly and restarting the whole process will make some difference. In my clinical practice we recommend such cases with physical therapy assessment post which and exercise prescription will be created keeping in mind for pros and cons of the body. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi, my father underwent CABG on Dec 2. He started taking bath from Dec 8 after the surgeon advised so. It seemed then that his stitches had healed. Today we found a water like liquid coming out from where the upper end of the incision started. We observed that after he felt something there. Is it something to worry about? What should be the first aid? We are going to see the surgeon tomorrow.Thanks
|
Hello there, I am Chat Doctor. If infection is there it cause associated symptoms like fever and body ache etc. Sometimes it is inflammatory because there is cut has been made and presence of stitches cause local irritation cause serous(watery) fluid from there by inflammatory response of our body. You should go for culture examination of that watery fluid along witChatDoctorplete blood count to rule out infection. I advise you to maintain hygienic cleaning of wound and take rest along with healthy diet. Please Follow your surgeons' opinion. Hope I have given appropriate guidance to you. If you have any query you can consult me anytime. Give me star rating according to your satisfactory level. Thanking you.

Respected Sir, I am from from Kolkata. My father(56 years) is suffering from Severe Aortic Stenosis. All the doctors that we have visited recommended an Aortic Valve Replace (AVR).We are really worried about him.Sir will be grateful to you for your suggestions..
|
Hi Mr/MMR Xxx ! I have gone through your question and I understand your concern. Yes the doctors that recommended that are right, Your father need an Aortic value replacement. In the case that the Aortic stenosis is severe means that the heart is working hard to pump the blood into the vessels and this condition makes the heart muscles weak. The heart cant effort the obstruction caused by the aortic stenosis and in the end this will lead to heart failure and less and less blood in the vessels (all the body will suffer from leak of oxygen.) Its necessary to remove the obstruction in this case the aortic value to prevent further heart dysfunction cause if the left muscle ventricle gets to a point that they are weak, is nothing that we can do to repair. Fortunately the valve replacement are operations that the doctor are used to and its part of their everyday practice. Wish your father good health. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me. Thank you for using Chat Doctor.

|
Hi, As I see the history I think your family Doctor is right, you definitely need a surgery to fix the joint. If left untreated may land up in to non-functional joints and other complications. Post surgery you will be in cast for some weeks. After the cast is removed you will be put forward to physiotherapy to achieve the maximum functions of the elbow joint. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

|
Hello, I will suggest you to continue with telecast. As it contains a mild type of anti-allergic and montelukast, both of them are safe if used for a long term. You can also use inhaled low dose steroid which you have mentioned in name of floral. The question is that this problem needs to be diagnosed by doing spirometer and allergy tests (if not done earlier). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Had hives since Monday. The Dr gave me a pred pack plus Zyrtec and at night benedril. Took a oil for 10 days for Sinus infection. They went away but today came back. Large circles. Could this be a reaction from amoxicillin? I never had a prob before with that med.
|
Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. No it is not because of medicine. It's because of recurrent allergy. Apart from antihistamine that you are already taking, I would suggest you to take montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic symptoms considerably. If problem persists then I would suggest you to undergo allergy testing at allergy clinic. It will tell that you are allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen, and it will improve the problem. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.

I just had an epididymal cyst removed a little over a month.My doctor has given me the ok in resuming sexual activity.when I ejaculate there is pain( more like discomfort in the area below my testicles is this the scotum/uretha area?) I never felt pain BEFORE having cyst removed.Was surgery the cause of this?
|
HelloThanks for query. You had undergone surgery for removal of Epididymis cyst one month back and now facing problem of discomfort in perineal area while ejaculating. Ideally the surgery for Epididymis Cyst is done through scrotal incision or incision taken directly over the spermatic cord hence should not cause pain in perineal area. It is not due to surgery but can be due to mild inflammation in urethra. Taking antibiotic like Doxycycline and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.

Dear Doctor, My self Laximan from madkeri, my father has got throat cancer. we came to know about end of Feb 11, now he is getting treatment in Manglore at Fr. Muller hospital Manglore, We have given 3 dose of Chomo, and now as per the endoscopy he is given very good responce, but recently he is not able to eat and we have started with rice tube fidding.

Dr. please let me if he has any chance of getting some more life of his to stay with us, and for that what would be the expance in ur hospital. I have found this through google and please give me reply, as i m in Banglore with him at St. Johns, My no. 0000 Laximan Pujar. thanking you. laximan
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. A throat cancer is a difficult condition to treat, and it looks like your father developed a side effect during treatment. Usually the food passage and airway are separate in humans. However, due to the cancer and subsequent treatment, there is a suspected false passage between the throat and the food passage. This is to be confirmed by doing a dedicated CT scan if the symptoms worsen, and surgically it might be corrected. Your father is showing good response to treatment and therefore getting him treated after taking an expert opinion is suggested. You might like to consult more than one oncologist and then proceed with the recommended treatment after studying his cancer and general health condition. Please continue rules tube feeding because nutrition is important to maintain a good level of general health condition. Please do not worry.

Hi I JUST RECEIVED THE RESULTS OF A COMPEHENSIVE BLOOD TEST AND MY DCTOR STATED MY BLOOD COUNT WAS LOW . I TAKE WARFARIN AND DIOXON FOR A-BIB ,HOWEVER I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE LOW COUNT . DOCTOR WANTS ANOTHER BLOOD TEST IN ONE WEEK TO LOOK FOR ANY CHANGE. WHAT CAUSED THIS LOW COUNT . I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM PRIOR.THANK YOU
|
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Most common cause of low blood count is nutritional. Usually It B12 or folic acid deficiency.2. Full report necessary to give a complete opinion. One week is too short to notice any changes. At present, a reticulocyte count would be more accurate in evaluating bone marrow response.3. Continue therapy. Not to worry. If necessary bone marrow biopsy could be necessary at a later date for complete evaluation. At present nutritional improvement along with Vitamin therapy is essential. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

hi im 29 and my husband is 31,we got married in2009, in 2008 my chocolate endometriotic cyst removed from left ovary but now again cyst recar in both ovaries, i want to conceive now. my question is without removing my cysts can i concieve?we r trying for lust 2 years, but cunt, help me please. my weight is 100kg, height 5ft and 4inch.
|
Hii think I have understood your concern.first for your overall health you need to get down to appropriate weight for your height. Have proper diet and exercise schedule.in my opinion ovum formation and getting pregnant poses difficulty with chocolate cyst. As per your question, if you do not want to undergo surgery for cysts, you need to take In. Provide acetate to suppress them and then try for conception. If you need any more clarification, be in touch. I hope my answer helps you. Thanks

I have just been diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast. It is stage 2. The doctor thinks the grade is 1 or maybe 2. I have been offered a choice of lumpectomy or mastectomy. I am a divorced women, age 61. I also have autoimmune hepatitus overlap syndrome and PBC. I have been on liver medications since 2008. Would my liver disease affect my choice of cancer procedures? I also am taking thyroxin for an underactive thyroid. I have been on disability since 2008.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, An invasive breast cancer is managed by surgery-mastectomy. Lumpectomy can result in recurrence of the lesion later. If the breast lump is associated with involvement of lymph nodes, chemotherapy is also needed. The presence of autoimmune hepatitis, intake of thyroxine or liver medication will not interfere with the type of surgery. Lumpectomy is not done now-a-days because of chance of recurrence. You need to consult your surgeon for further management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

|
Hello Dear, Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorI must first compliment you on changes in lifestyle you have adopted like vegan diet, exercise and stationary walking. Now coming back to Blood pressure reading of 110/40 you are having, I would recommend you to do self monitoring of Blood pressure (BP) at least 2 times a day at different times of day for 5 days, one can use these BP readings to come to a conclusion. Regarding reading of 110/40, your upper blood pressure (systolic-measures the pressure in arteries when the heart beats) reading is normal but lower BP reading (diastolic-measures the pressure in arteries between beats) of 40 mm Hg is low. A systolic blood pressure reading of 90 mm Hg or less or a diastolic reading of 60 mm Hg or less is generally considered low blood pressure (hypotension). Two circumstances typically can result in extremely low diastolic blood pressure. 1- Severe hypotension- number of medical conditions may cause severe hypotension including heart problems which prevent circulation of blood in body, underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) or overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), a Chat Doctor.

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for asking a question to Chat Doctor. F. You are 39 years old, case of infertility, married for 13 years. You had left fallopian tube blockage by fibroid agglutination. Confirmed by H.S.G., and diagnostic laparoscopy. Polypoid endometrium at ant, and posterior wall of uterus. Blood tests and your husbands reports are normal. Right Fallopian tube is normal. As it is I.V.F. may not suit you due to endometrium. As the right tube is patient, after treatment of endometrium and your doctor says normal you can try normal way. I advise you to avoid sex in first 10 days, compulsorily have sex in 11th to 20th days of the cycle. Have sex in female down position and stay lying for some time after sex. Wishing for a good luck. Best regards.

Hi am 29yrs old n now am 4th month pregnant.from last 3 months am suffering from allergic bronchitis and my doctor suggested me to take homeopathy treatment for this.but it is not reducing.whole day am suffering from blocked nose,sneezing,loss of appetite,cough.is there any treatment which is not effective for my baby?
|
Hi, Please stop taking homeopathy and see a good physician. You need to treat this bronchitis urgently because if secondary infection sets in you could have a lot of problems. Are you a known asthmatic? Have you been on any medications which you have stopped since getting pregnant? Please get a full evaluation by a physician and get a nebulization, anti-inflammatory and decongestants, and if necessary antibiotics from the physician. If chest x-ray is felt necessary it can be taken with an abdominal shielding. All the above will not harm your baby. But if you do not take proper treatment, it may affect the pregnancy and the baby. Hope this helps. Regards.

I have itching for last 2 weeks.I went to see a doctor and took MethylPREDNISolone last 1 week and finishe dthe course and talkinh Loratadine and Beneadryl to reduce itching.I had 1 spot itching (with a bite Ibelieve) for more than a month (about 2 months backit started) and that got ok , but all on a sudden several big patches of rash on my back neck appeared (not sure mosquito bites) and under my arms and after few days after that whole front neck and ears were full of rash (not big patches , only blisters this time) .This started 2 weeks back, though with medicine and time it is less, but it is appearing at different places(stomac, hands,back etc.) and continuing. Ear itching is the most.Please advice.
|
Hi I think the rashes can be due to earlier insect bite reaction.it is acute urticaria.it can be also due to food allergy. Chat Doctor. But blisters cannot feature of urticaria. Itching followed by blisters can be Memphis or irritant dermatitis. Both of these can be cured by antihistamine.Atari 25 mg at night. Antibiotic twice daily and steroids should be used at least for 2-3 weeks. And followed by application of calamine in the morning and diprovate-g ointment on the blisters at night

Yes greetings to all, about 6 months ago I went in for a regular check up, everything turned out good, the doctor sent me in for a prostate sonogram because there was a very small amount of blood in my urine, she mentioned it could be nothing serious but just to make sure. After the sonogram everything looked fine she said there was only a small 3 mm cyst and said it was up to me if I wanted to check it out but that it looked ok. Is this something I should worry about?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. A 3\u00a0mm cyst in the prostate is not usually a concern. A prostatic article cyst (PUC) is an area of focal dilatation that occurs within the prostatic article. Article cysts may contain pus or hemorrhage if infected and when that happens, it is accompanied by pain and discomfort. A follow-up scan might be done after a year. It is important to know your age and any symptoms related to the urinary system. Since your doctor had said that there is no problem, I think you should not worry much about the cyst. You might take antibiotics to treat any infection that is causing the bleeding.

My stepson is 12 and he recently showed me 3 lumps on the back of his head, they r bout the size of a dime, he says they hurt when there is pressure on them. They arent red or they dont have a head on them. They r quite hard and they dont move when u push them. Hes not sure how long hes had them, he just discovered them a few days before showing them to me.

Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Treatment -In my opinion your stepson, seems to have bruises with cellulitis which have not yet developed in to boils. They appear to be there for quiet a long time and are caused by the infection of the bruises during combing, with a healed up partially due to repeated combing trauma. Avoid trauma for a week, and they would vanish by natural healing process. Show to ER surgeon if it grows and worries more. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to Chat Doctor and be comfortable to resolve your health issues. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.

Hi I recently had a cat scan done w/o contrast my doctor went over my X-ray and saw that one of my kidney was not showing the Lima bean shape my kidney looks like it is sagging I am going for another scat scan soon w/contrast to see inside what do u suppose could be wrong with my kidney
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. There are many situations in which the kidneys do not appear exactly bean shaped and this also depends on the image section and how it has been taken. There are congenital conditions where the kidneys might be slightly larger or smaller on one side. There can also be a fused kidney which is called a horse shoe kidney. There are normal people with hypertrophied kidneys. Many abnormal conditions also cause change in appearance of kidneys and deviation from the bean shape. This can happen due to infections and neoplasms in the kidney. A stone causing urinary obstruction in the kidneys or ureters can also make the kidney appear swollen and lose its bean shape. It is important to discuss the scan findings with your doctor and confirm your condition and possible reason for the kidney not having the typical bean shape.

I was diagnosed with Hypoglycemia last year, which explained my blurred/tunnel vision when I stand or sit up, but I still have muscle twitches, weird tastes and smells is my mouth and nose, and I often feel detached or out of my body, I also have crazy thoughts.
|
My advice is to also get the following tests done if they have not been done before. The tests are serum C- peptide, Serum insulin, Insulin/ C peptide ratio and an abdominal CT scan. It is important to rule out the possibility of an insulin which is an insulin secreting tumor which causes hypoglycemia. Please note that insulin is a rare tumor. However, it is important to rule out this type of tumor in patients with hypoglycemia. Regarding the fatigued feeling & other symptoms of hypoglycemia you may try to eat frequent small meals witChatDoctorplex carboy Chat Doctor. Best regards

dear doc, am a chartered acountant of age 26...ive been married for an yr now..but i never seem to get any praise or appreciatin from my in laws nad my husband.. instead they always pin point my faults, and fight for mundane things line food, cloth line, hangers etc..ive been brought up in a well to do family not used to all this haggling... i just cant tolerate it anymore and am even contemplating suicide or divorce..my bp has fallen to 70-90 and i was also diaganoised with vertigo ... wht must i do?
|
Hello, Changes in environment after marriage can lead to adjustment problems. Before taking a major decision of divorce, you must discuss your problems of adapting with new family with your husband. You must share your feelings with your husband. If he does not co-operate, discuss your problem with your parents. Involve them in your every decision. Thinking of suicide is not a solution. Stay strong. Thanks.

Ive taken my wifes blood pressure about 8 times the past few days and am concerned over the heart rate. They are as follows; 110/82 over 154, 121/93 over 158, 127/98 over 135, 140/105 over 133, 93/69 over 127 last night and 124/83 over 170 this morning. Its that third figure that has me very concerned. What would you suggest ?Thanks, Mr. Mason
|
Hello Mr. Mason, I have gone through your query. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. As such fluctuations in BP and Heart rate is normal with day to day activity. Normal Fluctuations are below 140/90 for BP and 100 for heart beats. In case of your wife it is a bit on higher side. I suggest you to check her hemoglobin and Thyroid functions. Hyperthyroidism and anemia can produce such fluctuation with various activities. If both are normal then you must get and ECG and cardiac work up done by a cardiologist, MY best wishes Chat Doctor.

I have a disc extrusion between the L4 L5 region and is giving me pain in my right leg. It is a nagging pain and I am able to attend to my routine office work. I am active and also drive a car. The orthopedician and the neuro surgeon says that there is a slight weakness in my right toe. The orthopaedician says that I can go for a nerve block for eliminating the pain. He also feels that since I am active surgery is now not indicated. The neurosurgeon on the contrary says that I must go for micro discectomy.. I need an opinion.
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is clear that your symptoms (pain and toe weakness) are due to disc prolapse at L4-5 level. Both epidural injections and surgery are good options. However, the decision depends on the degree of disc prolapse and patients symptoms. I know your doctor is the best judge, as they have examined you, but I would feel that surgery may be delayed by a few weeks, and injection given a chance first, as it is simpler and less invasive. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/

I have gone through your question and appreciate Your concern. You're suffering from pain, rapid heart rate and high BP. Pain may be due to angina u can take Chat Doctor.

Docter my mail IDis YYYY@YYYY
|
Hi Prabesh, I have some missing details that need to be verified like what duration after you had sinusitis you had this problem and do you have any specific allergies. I think that you might have this post infection excess mucous secretion from the nasal part which might be normal but It's always better for you to get examined by your doctor. Take steam inhalations and vitamin C rich fruits which might bring down the mucous generation and relief to your sinus. Hope I was useful in my suggestion.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I can understand your fate. But I need to hear from your wife also. Every family expert should tell you that. Please consult a psychological counselor with your wife. Narrate everything. Psychologist also may talk to both of you in person.

Hello, As per your query, you have symptoms of tooth pain despite taking additional Novocaine shots which is entirely safe unless you are an asthmatic patient. Pain is high because while tooth extraction force required is very high. Need not panic about anything. Your symptoms will start resolving in 4 to 5 days. Take cold water, ice cream for faster healing. Take soft food for few days. If your pain keeps on persisting even after 4 to 5 days visit dentist once and get IOWA (X-RAY) done as it could be possible that Chat Doctor. Don't touch socket with tongue again and again. Take Ibuprofen

hello Dr., i m Syukri from Malaysia. i had a backache( lumbar ) feel like stretching and it come to head. i feel dizzy.sometimes i cannot move or wake up early in the morning because very pain at the legs(especially right side). my legs also sometimes feel numb and burning at the foot. i cannot move very well because feel pain at knee.i had a diagnose and the Dr. said that i had Schuman Kyphosis but when look at the result of the x-ray , the Dr. said my back looks like normal.so, how come Dr.?
|
Thanks for the query. Backache may be due to muscle dysfunction or spinal disc degeneration. Sherman kyphosis is increased thoracic kyphosis however it needs to be differentiated from postural kyphosis. I think you may have postural. If possible please upload your X-ray to tell you more about the spine. Leg pain happens when the nerves are getting pressed. If this problem is persistent and going on for few weeks then I would suggest getting examined by a spine specialist, and you may need MRI spine also.

I am a 22 yr old patient, I had a miscarriage in June, and an abortion in September of this year (2011). I have found a small slightly painful lump on the right tail of the breast (near the arm pit). I also have a large lump on the top right breast, it takes up the whole top of the breast and ends near the areola, which does not radiate any pain. As far as I know, I do not have any family members with breast cancer. I do have Uterine cancer in the family, which THEN metastises to the breast. What could cause my lumps? I am uninsured and unemployed, so I cannot go to the Dr. office so easily. Any idea what it may be?
|
Thank you for asking Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. You have slightly painful lump on the right tail of the breast and a large lump on the top right breast. Along with that you have although no family history of breast diseases directly but a positive history of uterine cancer which then metastases to the breasts. I also understand your status of being uninsured and unemployed but remember that breast lumps are common. Most often they're noncancerous (benign), particularly in younger women. Still, no matter how old you are, It's important to have any breast lump evaluated by a doctor, especially if its new and feels different from surrounding breast tissue. Early evaluation is essential in such cases, so you should plan visiting your physician Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.

Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint as your daughter is diagnosed with viral infection, and she also has febrile convulsions it is due to fever caused by severe infection in the body by bacteria or virus.

As of now you can give her Acetaminophen or Tylenol for fever and also do cold sponges over forehead. Give he is ample of fluids and also steam inhalations and use a humidifier in her room. Give her sufficient rest. On CE the cause is confirmed the physician can advise her anti-viral medications for treating viral infection. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

doc , i had my stomach aching since last night. the actual pain occurs every hour and then. it really hurts my abdomen. the reason i think might be the korean food that we ate last night since my stomach isnt used with those stuff. i then had my LBM but its controllable unlike the usual. what medicine can you doc recommend me to drink? and what do you think is this condition? thanks in advance .
|
Hi and thanks for the query, Its important you recognize already that its due to a change in diet. The first thing might be tried to know whether the symptoms you are experiencing are also experienced by others who ate the same food. This could be important to give an idea on food intoxication. If others are not complaining, that it would be worthwhile somewhat avoiding the particular food type in the future. Depending on whether you are experiencing only abdominal pain, or is accompanied by diarrhea or vomiting the management would be different. If pain is mainly above the navel and moving to the back, this could be indicative of gastritis, and if present, antacids could give relief. If its only abdominal comics, anti-spasmodic Chat Doctor. In case symptoms persist for two or more days, you might to consult your primary care physician for reevaluation. For now, antacids and antispasmodics, as advised by your pharmacist could be very useful. Thanks and best regards, Luchuo, MD.

Hi, I have had trouble with my wrist for a few months now but now it is seeming to get worse. I have trouble picking up items, it won t bend as far as my other wrist (in all directions) and whenever I try I get a sharp pain on the joint. I haven t had any breaks there or recall any injuries that might have caused it.
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain on the joints of wrist. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like injury, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor. There can be other reasons also like joint dislocation or chip off fraction from part of bone, as this joint consists of many small bones. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan, MRI along with physical examination, urine test. Doctor may recommend surgical removal or may prescribe antibiotics, allopurinol along with anti-inflammatory. Doctor may also recommend physical therapy. Doctor may fix the abnormality by plaster, splint or bandage in case of fracture. For now apply warm compresses, you can also put your wrist in hot water tub for 15 minutes daily and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. Do not lift heavy object with arm and give proper rest to your arm. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hi, From your description following are possibilities which need assessment and management
|
im male, 28 yo. i have a hard immovable lump (no more than 2cm in diameter) located in the inner side of my upper arm. I just noticed this 3 days back. but it could be there for at least 4 months since my massage therapist noticed this first at that time. im having this surgically removed this saturday. what could this usually be? i hope to read ur reply soon. thank you.
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. There are quite a few possibilities for that lump. It could either be a lymph node, a sebaceous cyst, a Desmond cyst, a soft tissue tumor, or a Charon Chat Doctor. Without a clinical examination it is not possible to come to a diagnosis. But at your age a malignancy is a rare possibility. So don't worry much. Get it removed and have it sent for histopathological evaluation to know its exact diagnosis. Hope I have been helpful. Regards

hi one of my teeth is really aching to the point where i am waking up with headaches. i had a fiiling repalced in this tooth, then the dentist thought i needed a root canal which i had and now it is hurting again. he is going to tell me too have it extracted, is this right?
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Was the root canal treatment completely, and how long is it since it's done? Severe pain associated with the root canal treatment usually suggests presence of underlying infection. I would advise you to visit your dentist and have it checked up. For the pain, ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medicine) can be taken. Antibiotics like amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and Metro lag may be required on prescription. Based on the radiographic and clinical symptoms, a pretreatment of the tooth or any appropriate treatment needs to be done. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.

Hi all of u , i diagnosed with TUBERCULAR LYMPHADENITIS 0n 24th of this month, i joined IBM few days back. Now IBM Dr saying its a communicable deaseses & i should take 4 months rest . they asked me to be on leave for the 4 months without pay. What should i do ?? is it communicable ??
|
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that tuberculosis is communicable disease. If the diagnosis is made by biopsy of the node than it is confirmed diagnosis. Otherwise you should do biopsy to confirm tuberculosis. It is spread by respiratory route so to take a leave until you are all clear with the tuberculosis is necessary. But in all cases open case of tuberculosis is communicable to others not the close one. If you have sputum TB positiver than and then you are communicable disease. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.

Hi, and had scan today and they found shadow on my womb and kidney. said i needed to see my doctor with two day and dont leave it any longer just wondering what it is and should i be worried because i am
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Shadow is always sign of some lesion which may be benign or malignant. In most cases these are benign such as cysts, fibroids or fibrosis However, malignant tumors must be rued out by additional tests, and you need to do MRI scan or biopsy to be sure about this. There appropriate surgical or nonsurgical treatment can be planned. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

I have been suffering headaches for the past 4-5 months, I had a collapse and seizure at work ending in hospitalisation where a CT and spinal tap were done, they were both clear (unsure what they were looking for) I returned to my doctor just wanting answers. She has told me I have Tension Type Headache and prescribed Amitryptiline. I don t believe this is the cause because it does not explain the deterioration of my vision, numbness and tingling in arms & hands, loss of balance and inability to concentrate. I want a second opinion but we live rurally and doctors are scarce. What are your thoughts?

Hello! I read your question and understand your concern. I would like to know more about your headache

My uterus was removed years back from aedonomosis.....iguess a form of endo...now i am scheduled for lapro to investigate endo,My abdomen stays swollen like i am pregnant, and have cyclic pain and mood s.What can you tell me to exoect in my sugery coming up.?How much endometriosis can i expect the dr to find? i have been diagnosed with ibs, can this b an endometrial attack on my bowels?How bad can endo spread in a matter of years to other organs in the abdomen?Thank you,Confused, conserened, medically challenged patient
|
Hi, Welcome to ChatDoctorif Uterus was removed, years back, then I do not think that On laparoscopy, there would be any active lesion of Endometriosis. Your Doctor wants to rule out any ovarian, tubal or peritoneal pathology. This pathology could be due to chronic Pelvic inflammatory disease, or due to scar formation after rupture of any endometriosis cysts, or as a long term complication of hysterectomy itself. After removal of uterus, ovaries stops functioning gradually. Your cyclic pains and mood swings could be due to changes in hormonal level.IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion. Intestinal symptoms can happen due to scar adhesions on intestine or over momentum. There can be thousands of problems, and it is highly possible that your doctor do not find anything wrong. So I would advise you to not worry too much. Once you know your specific diagnosis then you can explore it in depth. Best Wishes Chat Doctor.

my grandson 23 was in a car accident and suffered a concussion . He was in the hospital for an hour and sent home to be watched for 3 days. Two days later he set fire to his room and tried to kill himself. He is now in the hospital lock up room and hears voices. No alcohol or drugs in his system at either time. He has been depressed before all this happened and won t tell his parents why. Are the voices and attempted suicide from the accident alone?
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your question... Since you say that he had been depressed even before the accident, it is more likely that his current psychiatric symptoms are related to the depression. When depression becomes severe, psychotic symptoms can appear (like hearing voices, false beliefs, etc.) Moreover, since he was well enough to be sent home after the accident, it is unlikely that he would have suffered from any significant brain damage. Depression can be caused due to neurochemical imbalances in the brain and need not be stress related always. So, it is not surprising that he did not reveal anything to his parents. With appropriate medication and close follow up he should be able to come out of his depression. Best wishes,-

my son is 2 yrs old. has cold cough frequently. Now has fever for last 10 days. montaux test is positive for him. But chest x-ray is not showing anything. BCG was given to him at birth. is taking Taxim-O for infection is a course of 5 days. should i get montaux test done again after he recovers from fever
|
Hi, As per your query you have fever and cough in a child with the positive Manitou test. I would suggest you visit pediatrician once and get a chest X-ray done. You should go for pulmonary function tests along with blood and sputum test first and get it examined. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take steam inhalation as well. You should take cough expectorants. You should take an antihistamine such as Ben Chat Doctor. Use vaporizers rub. Use room humidifiers as well to prevent any allergic reaction to the child. Sip on the warm water. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, Yes I have chronic lymes disease i did 2 bouts with IV therapy for 28 days each time that was like 10 years ago now i have flu like symptoms knees are in pain neck & joints i went to urgent care facility they did blood work & have not got the results yet tomorrow i go to my primary care doctor i am allergic to tetracycline is there any other treatments that may benefit me?
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in knee, neck and joints. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like fibromyalgia, fatigue, lupus Pain, rheumatoid, gout, sciatica or arthritis. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may take history, order blood test, urine test and check bone density to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory along with medicine like methotrexate and allopurinol. For now take proper rest, keep yourself HY Chat Doctor. Apply warm compresses on knee and neck , also take complete bed rest.

yesterday I was bending over, and when I went to stand up I hit the middle of my spine about halfway down my back, on the dining table. Today it hurts and feels bruised but when I went to look at it I couldn t see any sign of any bruising, is it okay?
|
Hi, Thanks for using ChatDoctorFirstly, please be careful when dealing with spine as injury to spine is sometimes a problematic thing. Now for your hurting back have some painkiller and a good muscle relaxant and apply some gel locally if it hurts more. Just be a little overcautious for a week or so. Do some hot fermentation if pain increases and take proper rest. Avoid exerting. And still if you have problem then you should get an X-ray or MRI done but as of now you will be fine in 2-3 days.

Im female,41 years old. I have high risk HPV with mild dysplasia & Im having follow pap smears to avoid cervical cancer. But I know that hpv can aslo cause anal cancer & we dont have anal pap smears in my country. Am I at risk of getting anal cancer? How can I prevent it? (Ive been married & faithfull for 17 years & we never have anal sex & I dont smoke)
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. You do not come under high risk group for HPV associated anal cancer. However, you are doing the right action by getting regularly checked up for possible early cervical cancer. Pap smear done regularly is beneficial as you are having high risk HPV with mild dysplasia. Regarding the anal cancer, it is only a probability and this pattern is seen in those women who have had cervical cancer. Since cervical cancer features have not yet manifested in you therefore you might relax about anal cancer occurring due to human papillomavirus infection. Please do not worry.

I went sledding 5 days ago and got thrown from my sled and flew in the air about 10 feet. I landed on my tailbone. It still hurts and there is a dull pain. I found now I have pain in my lower abdomen. It is a crampy pain that only goes away if I take ibuprofen. It feels like there is something there. What are the chances I have internal bleeding from this?
|
Hello, It is very rare to have abdominal bleeding and patient is not noticing this. I would recommend you to get ultrasound examination of the abdomen to see if there is any damage inside. For tail bone pain you should use site bath. Avoid sitting on hard surface for long time and use cushion like seats. Take broken if pain is very bad. If this pain remain continue than you should get x-ray to see if there is any tail bone fracture. I hope these steps will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

Family memeber, 85 and living alone, stopped her dialysis; did not have it on scheduled Saturday, talked to her son, Monday evening, then was found she had died in bed later that evening. Blood appeared in and around her mouth. Could you tell me why the blood? I understand she went peacefully.
|
Sorry to hear about the demise. In patients undergoing dialysis and having stopped there could be multiple reasons for bleeding. These patients have bleeding tendencies, so she might have bled from any ulcer in stomach or esophagus. Or if due to stopping of the dialysis, she might have developed pulmonary hypertension due to accumulation of excessive fluids in lungs and cause bleeding through lungs which might have surfaced during excessive bought of cough containing blood. These could be the main reasons that I think of from what you have told me in your question. Thank you

Hello and welcome to ChatDoctorYou have a chance of PIED (Prolapsed Inter vertebral Disc), to be confirmed by clinical examination. To get rid of this problem you can go for medication with physiotherapy. Surgery is only preformed if nerve compression is there(nothing has been written in your MRI report about Nerve compression), So decision for the surgery is to be taken by your doctor with relation to clinical examination.

Hi Dr, I had an allergic reaction to penicillin..a suspension mixed with water when i was 14 some 43 years ago..I got large 1-2 inch diameter lumps like boils all over my mucous mebranes my eylids mouth throat etc and all over my body...causing me to have great difficulty to breath...I had a severe chest infection to start with!How do I find out if I am stil lallergic and can i be desensitised if i am.
|
Hello there.welcome to Chat Doctor . Well after going through your query its quite clear that you have had a severe allergic reaction to penicillin in the past. And I want to make you clear that once if a person is diagnosed of having penicillin allergy will be allergic to penicillin for the rest of his life.so there is no need to find if you are still allergic.there is no way to get it desensitized. Infact if u consume penicillin once more there may be chances of life-threatening anaphylaxis reaction. And there is no need to rely much on only penicillin as there are many new antibiotics are released which are very effective. So there are alternatives to penicillin which are safe and very effective thatch there is no need to worry about it. Just don't forget to tell your doctor that you are allergic to penicillin then they prescribe u an equally effective medicines. I hope this solves your query. Thanks and take care. Wish a healthy life ahead...

My mother 86 has been itching for over a year in bra area and sides. An allergist said could be mast cell increase so gave her anti hystamines and is waiting for blood work results. I advised a 2nd opinion to get a hair sample sent off to see what you have in your system from a Naturopath. Any suggestions? Thank you John
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The symptoms of your mother suggests me that she may be having fungal infection along with the allergic reactions. As she is on antihistamines for last one year and the symptoms has not come down. So it may be a fungal infection, but she requires physical examination to confirm the diagnosis. This area is also prone for fungal infection, because the moistness of this area and prolong contact with the skin may lead to fungal infection. I suggest her to apply topical antifungal cream like Amphoteric B for 15 days and along with this she needs to take antihistamine Chat Doctor. I hope these symptoms will come down, if it is not coming down she may require opinion of dermatologist. Thank you

On April 24 2014 I underwent open heart surgery (quad bypass) and although everything went well, I still have some discomfort in the region of my xiphoid process. I have a continual dull ache and I feel/hear a popping sound in that region when I twist which is rather disconcerting. Is this anything I should be concerned about ?
|
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern, and I would like to explain to you that one of the most frequent inconveniences surrounding by pass patients is sternotomy region medical issues. Sometimes, local infections may complicate seriously the clinical course of healing and recovery. Sometimes, a sternal suture dehiscence appears as a very problematic and dangerous situation, leading to mediastinitis (a serious complication that urges prompt and vigorous treatment). You need to perform an immediate medical check up to your cardiac surgeon to rule out these medical complications. Hope to have been helpful to you. Greetings!

Hi dr...... my son is 16 months old. he has just recovered from viral fever and was hospitalized for 4 days. now after 15 days ..he is passing very foul smelling water motions.. and seems to have stomach pain while passing motions. He does not have fever at all. I have given 2.5 ml of Macpod once in a day. plz advise.
|
Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor. Diarrhea in child Chat Doctor. Stool is generally foul smelling in such cases. Unless associated with bloody stools the cause is not important and does not need to be treated. All you have to do is give ORS to replenish the salt and water loss. In case of abdominal colic, antispasmodics like demonic can be given. Macpod is cefuroxime, an antibiotic which was not essential but since you have begun it, you should complete the 5-day course of twice daily dose. Hope that helps. Feel free to revert in case of further queries if any.

ok, I have a paper wasp bite on inside of the forearm close to the fold at the elbow. Was stung 2 days ago. Still continuing to swell at the moment. its about 11x10 inches,extremely red,hard,almost like blistered skin at the center and then gradually goes to pink. I have taken benadryl since, saw clinic dr today, prescribed prednisone. 30mg daily for 7 days. I took the first dose a few hours ago. Did this because thought it might help but now prefer to not continue taking the prednisone.Can I just let nature take its course and let the swelling go down on its own without the prednisone. I have had this type of reaction to just a flee bite. Its always a localised allergy. At what point do I have to say , ok I have to take the prednisone for sure? if I must take the prednisone, (5mg tablets) can I gradually decrease the dosage after the 2nd day?go down to 1 tablet on the last day.
|
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Swelling of 11X 10 inches suggest infection with allergy. You should take antibiotic(Local or systemic based on examination), In TT and proper wound care. To control the rash, itching and swelling antihistamines and steroids should be used and NSAID to prevent inflammation. Apply sterile Chat Doctor. You can take Prednisone BD for 3 days, then OD for 3 days and later can be stopped. It controls the inflammation and help reduce swelling. Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further examination and management. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards

The normally small bumps on my 5 year old son s tongue appear to be enlarged (near the tip). What could cause this? Could it have anything to do with the body-wide rash he has. The rash has gotten better in the past 24 hours with lotion and Claritin but the tongue bumps are new today.
|
Hello, I can understand your concern. If your kid is suffering from a generalized allergic reaction in the whole body area, then the enlarged tongue and papillae of tongue (bumps you are mentioning to) can be due to allergic reaction only. As the overall reaction will come under control with Clarity, tongue will regain normalcy, too. If the overall rashes are due to viral infection, then tongue problem will also take about a week to be back to normal as that is the time any viral infection takes to come under control. If your son is complaining of pain or burning sensation in tongue, then you can apply local Endocrine gel (McCoppin) over the area about 3-4 times a day, especially before meals. If the tongue does appear normal in a week, then you should see a dentist for examination of the tongue and specific treatment for tongue. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your son feels better soon. Best,

While it is possible for infants and toddlers to have asthma, it may be difficult for your doctor to diagnose because tests aren't accurate before 6 years of age and most of the child Chat Doctor. Some foods have also been found to help protect against asthma and improve lung function. Research has shown that people who eat the most fruit and vegetables along with grains and cereals had a healthy lung function. Make him

Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would go for a routine complete blood count, and a urine routine and culture examination for you. If you are sexually active, I would also keep in my mind the chances of Pelvic inflammatory disease, and refer you to a gynecologist. Also, I would consider a Liver Function test for you. The management would depend on the result of physical examination and reports of investigations. 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. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

hi,please, help 55year female with biliary stent (pigtail) to bypass CBD stone, 3month ago,now jaundice relieved but still theres astone &sonography shows normal daimeter CBD with stent .ERCP FAILED.
|
From the description you have given it seems that the stone in the CBD is impacted. It is dangerous to reattempt endoscopic removal. The safest method would be open surgical exploration of the common bile duct which will not only help in complete clearance of the stone load but also provide an opportunity to carry out a prophylactic surgical procedure in order to prevent the condition from recurring (biliary enteric anastomosis) depending upon the actual size of the CBD as observed during surgery.

i recently started taking Meizitang, a weight loss sofft gel capsule. Yesterday i was nauseous and was vomiting every 10-30 minutes, and easing around lunch time. Today i feel just as bad, if not worse and it has just occurred to me that maybe this pill doesnt sit well with my birth control pill. Could i be pregnant?

Hi, Okay. Cannot comment on the possibility of pregnancy. Without an exam, I can only give general information. First, you have no guarantee there is anything in these unregulated pills. If they have what they say is in them

Hi i am a 40 year old male I am suffering from extreme cramps on the right side of my stomach, i also have severe headaches on top of my head. A redness has also spread around my eyes and i have noticed it on my legs. every morning and night i am vomiting but i am afraid to go to the doctors in case it is something that i fear the most. Can you help?
|
Hi welcome to Health to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. Forum. You are 40 years of age, had severe cramps on right side o stomach, severe headache. A red less has spread around the eyes, on the legs, every morning and night getting vomiting. Don't worry it is nothing of that sort to be afraid. It appears to be the gastric pain, may be some fever may be associated, rash may be associated with the fever. Other causes of stomach pain could be gallbladder infection, pancreas infection, worms in the intestines, Urinary tract infection, or stones in the urinary tract, etc. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. Avoid spices, junk foods, and oily foods. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Best regards.

My patient is not conscious, suffered a TIA and is having very high levels of potassium . He has previously suffered stroke and is a known diabetic Type 2 as well as hypertensive. At the moment, the gums and feet are bleeding? Doctors think that this may be kidney failure. I would want to be helped to understand the gravity of the situation.
|
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. Your treating doctor is right...your patient is already suffering from diabetes and hyperkalemia (increased potassium) is very common in renal failure. Your patient is unconscious and has gum & feet bleeding, there may be high chances of intracranial bleed making patient unconscious. You should go for CT/ MRI brain to rule out bleed. You should also go for bleeding time, clotting time, prothrombin time to clarify the cause. Yes, your patient is serious and bleeding is not a good sign. You should also go for liver function test, renal function test, complete blood count also. You patient needs intensive care. Take care,

I had two cavities filled this morning. My dentist gave me two novacaine shots toward the bottom-back right section of my mouth. The first one hurt terribly. The second didnt hurt at all until he got deeper into my cheek. I felt a sharp pain. The whole appointment took about an hour. When it was done, I still couldnt feel the right side of my face. Once the novocaine wore off at home, I started feeling pain in my jaw and underneath the right side of my tongue. I held an ice pack to my face for a bit, then as I was getting ready to brush my teeth, I noticed discoloration in my right cheek that looked like the beginning to bruises. Is this normal? Is it something to worry about? Im kind of a hypochondriac so Id rather know sooner than later the odds of a major injury. Thank you.
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint bruising of cheek after Novocaine shot seems to be due to piercing of blood vessels with the injection needle leading to spillage of blood into the soft tissues causing Hematoma formation. It will gradually fade off and as of now do cool compresses over cheek. Secondly pain can be due to irritation of the nerve fibers due to deep cavity formation leading to pain. I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and get an X-ray of the tooth done. If there is deep cavity then Root Canal treatment followed by antibiotics and painkillers is to be taken. Avoid chewing from painful side. Hope this helps.

All most a year ago I had an infection in my left foot, which was extremely swollen and extremly painful to walk. Later the bottom left leg (under the knee) also swelled up. No swelling above the knee. My Vascular Surgeon was watching it as they found an enlarged lymph node in left groin. After watching it for several months he decided to do surgery as it was increasing in size. I am to have the procedure at a Surgical Center tomorrow. Can you explain what can I expect if the biopsey is cancerous. Thank you for your time.
|
Cancer in the lymph nodes does not arise per se and comes from a neighboring structure in this case your leg. So, if the lymph node shows presence of cancer, then it is likely that the leg also has cancer from where the cancer has spread to the nodes. In such a case, you would have to first rule out that the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. If not, then you will need to undergo surgery of the leg (to take out the entire tumor--may result in amputation) and surgery for removal of all nodes from the groin.

Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. It seems you are suffering from Seborrhea dermatitis, which is an inflammation of sebaceous gland and secondary infected by fungus. I would recommend you a short course of oral antifungal Chat Doctor. Use a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole and alicyclic acid twice a week. Take antihistamines as required for itching. Avoid excessive use of hair oil. Hope this will take care of your query. Thank you

my mother is suffering from leucocytoclastic vasculitis. she is taking wysolon 30mg per day. still she is suffering from pain probably due to infection developed in the wounds which appear to be filled with yellow liquid. is it advisable to take taxim-o for treating the infection?
|
Hello, Maximo is an antibiotic used to treat infection. Your mother has got this medicine prescribed by her doctor for an infection. Make sure she takes all the antibiotic without missing a does prescribe by her doctor for clearing her infection. Stopping antibiotic and missing a dose will put your mother in the risk of incomplete clearing of infection leading to more severe and resistant infections in the future. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

About 2 or even 3 weeks ago, I dropped something heavy directly on my foot. It was bruised for sometime but the bruise soon went away. At the moment, I feel no pain but I have a small bump on the inside of my foot, where the bruise used to be, should I be concerned?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, it is callus or million of fracture. You had foot injury 3 weeks ago. And after 3 weeks, you are having bump on trauma site. So possibility of fracture at the time of trauma and healing after 3 weeks is high. In bone fracture, healing occurs by callus formation. It is collection of inflammatory cells and calcium which give rise to appearance of swelling. Another possibility is million. If fractured fragments are not fused correctly then they can give rise to swelling due to million. So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination and x-ray of affected foot.

My husband has raised red bumps, mostly on his back. A dr. took a biopsy, said it came back as a \"bug bite\". They continue to crop up. Checked for bed bugs, fleas, etc. by did not find any. Besides no one else has these bumps. Some are the size of a pencil eraser, while others are the sign of a thumb finger nail. This has been ongoing for five months and his Internal medicine doctor and the dermatologist cannot seem to give him an answer or relief. Topical creme, Clobetasol Propionate only gives relief for about 5 hrs. We have thought it could possibly be some sort of skin parasite from eating sushi. Any suggestions?
|
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion it should be allergy reaction. As per your description of allergy is more likely explanation of the condition. I suggest you to find out the possible ballet gen causing this reaction to skin. Biopsy report is also pointing towards this condition. I advise you to apply clobetasol cream. As this can cause atrophy of the skin bumps resulting in clear skin. Please do not use this cream for long time as it can cause skin thinking for long term use. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you.

Hi, From history it seems that there might be having ingrown hair follicle infection giving rise induration and swelling. There might be having forming abscess. This infection might be due to having more perspiration and lack of proper hygiene due to be unable to reach the site properly. Go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3-5 days. Keep local hygiene clean and Chat Doctor. Ok and take care.
