Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* There are different issues responsible for this condition as - stress or anxiety induced - bronchospasm from various factors one as air of cooler or air conditioner - related to stomach acid regurgitation - HERD - hiatus hernia.* Eating 3 times in a day is not a solution for this, you need detailed clinical work up for the same. Hope this will help you for sure. Regards.

Have been experiencing left abdominal pain for the past month. I am pretty healthy 32 year old so I really don t know what the problem is. I also have dizzy spells that come and go and last for about a month. I went to the doctors and they told me that I just had really bad allergies and not to worry. I am now having shortness of breath and my heart skips a beat once in a while. I am figuring it might be just anxiety because I am going through a lot in my life at the moment?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Stress and anxiety can bring on bizarre symptoms in our body. Such symptoms can become an obsession. You had that disturbing sensation once. You expected it to happen again and tried. Then you started experiencing it as you were expecting it. Then your body brought the familiar symptom because you are expecting it. Then you started worrying that the symptom is coming again and again and expect it. Body brings it again as you are expecting it. You become worried and so on. That is obsession in simple terms. Ignore it and the problem vanishes. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http

my 8 year old daughter has been having tremors, diagnosed with pineal cyst, thornwaldt cyst, anxiety, migraines, and yesterday was told she has a heart murmur and stress rash. My question is when she breaks out in this rash it is only when upset and she gets blue around lips, fingers, and tingly in legs and arms, dizzy. I worry that she is going to pass out. I worry that the doctor is just not coming to the right conclusion for her, should I get a second opinion. she has been going through all of this for 3 years.
|
Hi, The main reason for all these symptoms can be heart problem. And rashes, blue lips and all above-mentioned symptoms can happen when heart is not pumping enough oxygenated blood to the body or any of heart valves is not functioning. From your children history it seems that she may have ventricular septal defect. As most commonly the defect tends to be tiny and asymptomatic and closed itself by the age of some years. If it's causing symptoms like breathing problem and above mentioned symptoms, then it may require surgery. Some important tests may need to rule out and septal defect or valvular defect in the heart. For example ECHO, ECG,stress test, thyroid profile (as anxiety and tremors and palpitation can occur in hyperthyroidism), and schedule an appointment with cardiologist. Hope I answered your question. Wish you best of health.

I have a kidney stone. went to the emergency room and doc told me its about 5mm and it should pass on its own.. it just left the kidney. he prescribed me arthrotec 75 75-02mg for the pain and sdz-tamsulosin cr 0.4mg to hlep the stone make its way out. Since i have been taking these meds, not only to i have major pain on my side form the stone ( pain meds doesn;t seem to work) but now i have major major pain in the lower abdomen aswell. this has been going on for 2 days. Could it be the meds?
|
Pain from passage of kidney stones are called renal colic. They have a reputation of being known as pain iller than giving birth. A 5\u00a0mm stone would have around 70-80% chance of spontaneous passage, and it will increase slightly with the medicines that you are taking. Waiting time for spontaneous passage would be 2 weeks. The pain in the lower part of your abdomen means that your stone is on its way down to the bladder. The pain is caused by the contraction of the muscles in the ureter (tube that connects the kidneys to the bladder) pushing down the stone. If you feel that the medicines are not working, or you still have severe pain you might need an emergency endoscopic removal of the stone. For more details you can ask me through

Hi i am a 41 year old man, married with 3 three kids. I am 72kg of weight and 1,7 in height and I have never experienced any sexual infections or decease apart from what I am about to ask. My problem is at the age of 30 I developed pimples around my penis head and it has since been there till today. I believe its first appearance came about as a result of not washing immediately after intercourse but it later vanished after constant washing with potessium pemanganate. Now what seems to be a problem is that every time i use a condom I see the small pimples around the head of my penis again even if i immediately wash after intercourse. Some friend said its penis infection.Now I want to know if it can be cured without me circumcising?
|
HelloThanks for query. Based on the facts that you have posted the pimples that you develop on glans penis after protected sex are mostly due to allergic reaction to chemical in condoms that are being used as lubricants. You need to either change the condom to non lubricated condom or practice unprotected sex with other method of contraception like your wife taking oral contraceptive pills or IUD. Chat Doctor.

I am 80+ male.Was diagnosed Transitional Cell Carcinoma of urinary bladder Gr.II. a couple of years back. Last 3 CP Examinations reports have been normal. Will taking wallnuts and other nuts, if any, help prevent recurrence of malignant cells etc in future? If so what and how much?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have transitional cell carcinoma of bladder. You should take treatment of that. Chemotherapy or BCG therapy can help you. Walnut or other nut has no role in preventing the transitional cell carcinoma of bladder. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

I am a 46-year old female and had a partial colectomy (5-6 inches removed) 5 weeks ago due to diverticulitis . I m still having a sharp pain on my lower right side (in between the 2 smaller lapriscopic incisions. Both incisions healed fine but I have this stabbing pain in this one spot whenever I move a certain way - mostly when starting to sit down or stand back up or trying to lay on my right side and especially when getting into the car. Is this normal?
|
Hello! Thank you for the query. Such sharp pain can appear due to skin nerves destruction during the surgery or hernia appearance. Other intra-abdominal disease should be also considered. I suggest you to visit a surgeon for physical examination, have abdominal wall ultrasound, abdominal ultrasound and blood work done. If no findings, nerve irritation seems most probable and should slowly disappear. Hope this will help. Regards.

I am a 25 year old female, weight 130. Generally I am pretty active(going to the gym at 5-7 per week). However, in the last month or so I have been exhausted and sore which made it difficult to work out. I blamed in on worsening allergies(I live in the northeast) and everyone seemed to have worse allergies this year. However, my \"allergies\" were not relieved by over the counter medications and perscription nasal spray. My symptoms have been getting worse and have been present for at least a month and are flu like. I have had an intermittent fever for at least a week and have chest pain and a cough. I was seen by the doctor yesterday and she ran a lyme disease test and a CBC, I had a fever but my ears, throat and nose looked good and my lungs were clear. I have no relief for my cough, but advil does relieve some of my chest pain.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Fever with runny nose and soreness could be due to rhinitis (allergic or infective), sinusitis,common cold or may be URI. Runny nose is mostly due to viral infection because of our low immunity. You may need to do complete hologram, ESR,electrolytes and X-ray of face to check for sinusitis. You must go to ENT specialist to get properly diagnosed first as there is fever and cough. So, better to consult doctor.

Hi I recently went to obgyn for annual and she found a tampon behind my cervix. Not sure how long it has been up there

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand from your query that you are having severe hair loss. This is called as halogen effluvium, and it is a reaction to physical ailments like fever, severe infections, anemia, thyroid problems, surgeries or mental stress. In your case, the undiagnosed infection could have caused the hair loss. You could benefit from taking oral biotin supplements daily for 3 months. This is reversible hair loss and will improve with time. Hope this helps you. Take care.

I have Fibromyalgia and experience each day fine needles and pain througout my body. It comes and goes and I try to walk three times a day, and hope to go back to swimming at the local pool or go to Silver Sneakers. I don t take the pain killer pill Tramadol unless absolutely uncomfortable and can only take 1x a day. Is there anything more I should do everyday, also I take Calcium/Vitamin D tablet once a day and a multiple vitamin which often helps in a couple of hours. I think I should be on a regime each day but can t get regimented. I have lost 25 pounds but still need to lose another 50lbs. Thank you for any suggestions or regime I can do daily that may improve this pain, confused on clear treatments.
|
Well, you certainly are taking the right actions to help fibromyalgia. Some of it is due to depression and antidepressants are generally used for it. Otherwise, it is perhaps a dysregulation of the nerves that damp down pain. This is more or less corrected by exercise up to the point of the exercise causing pain. The pain from the exercise resets pain perception. It is temporary and needs to be done regularly.

Severe pain along right hip pain goes down my leg to knee cannot put weight on right leg. Pain also in my lower back. Given moraphine shot.and 3 sterile shots no relief. Taking hydrocodone and wearing patches for pain. Can you give me an idea of what is happening please
|
As per my view I strongly suggest it is related to sciatica or there is problem with your lumbar spine. It can be anything related to your lumbar disc. I suggest doing MRI for your lumbar spine. Get it checked by or tho and physio and follow a proper treatment program with medication and physio therapy. Because only taking some painkiller on your own will not help you much, and it may become more also. On top of this you can try with hot and cold pack application at your hip and back level where it is paining to reduce some inflammation, increase circulation, and soothing effect on soft tissue.

why am i shooting out blood clots big and small everyday for 3 months i have prostate cancer had the turp done in jan. of this year was ok untill put a tube up me for a cultuer pee test then when i got home bleed and did big chunks for 2 hrs. could they have broke something loose?? and how do i fix this problem??
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Cancer is a condition when there is uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells anywhere in the body. In prostate cancer there is proliferation of cancerous cells from the prostate gland. It is important to know the stage of cancer you are having and any infiltration of the cancer to the adjacent organs. Any approach to the prostate during TURN is from the urethra which is the urinary passage connecting the urinary bladder to the outside. The urethra is a delicate tube, and it is possible to have it damaged during surgery and investigations. The bleeding you experienced can be from an injury to the urethra. It is also probable that there is recurrent cancer and infiltration of the urethra after your surgery. In this situation please consult your doctor immediately and get investigated and treated if the bleeding continues. Please do not worry.

I went to the er running a 103 fever they said they thought it was pneumonia they did a chest x ray and blood work when the blood work came back my white blood cell count was 25000 instead of 10000 like they said it should have been, but then he said he was not sure if it was pneumonia or not but that i had a \"spot\" on my lung that worried him. He admited me into the hospital for pneumonia but my family dr came in and said he did not think it was pneumonia and tested for flu it was negitive too. they did more blood work and said my levels were back down to a good rate after one day and he discharged me from the hospital after one day with me feeling worse than i was. he said he thinks it might be a viral infection. what could the \"spot\" be and everyone is worried bout my levels being so high then dropping that fast

Thank you, pleased to answer you.WBC and granulocyte counts are clear evidence of the bacterial etiology of respiratory infection, but low or normal values do not rule it out. Lymphocyte counts are of no value for distinguishing between viral and bacterial infections. Nodules can be scarring, granulomas, infection, fungus, virus, and cancer. Here in Morocco, nodule let us always suspect tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis agent, but there are others mycobacterium type less aggressive than mycobacterium tuberculosis, but they can give such things like Mycobacterium album. I formally propose that you have a mycobacterium types (not tuberculosis type), but you need some specific test of tuberculosis. High WBC Chat Doctor.

I have black tool, somewhat diarria, not eating much, i senn mix stool and water turn red. i pee red a few times. how lond should I wait so I can have medical attention instead of the releasing me.
|
Hello, Dark color stool may be due to upper GI bleed like peptic ulcer or diverticulitis or infection or varicose veins. It may also due to iron tablet consumption or due to bismuth containing antacid consumption. Red color urine may be due to ruin infection or renal stone. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Chat Doctor. If symptoms not improved please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

my girlfriend gave me a hand job,and i had a pre-cum, then i think she touch her vagina shortly after that .. but i do remember that i rub the pre cum from her hand before she touch hers. now she is late for her period for about a week.. (no blood) but she do have the symptoms such as headaches and stomach cramps for about 3 days. is there a possibility that she s pregnant? (today she told me that shes feeling nausea in the morning)
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion there is no chance of pregnancy in your case. Usually there is scope for pregnancy when semen is ejaculated inside or around the vagina during the fertile period. Rarely there might be chances of pregnancy with pre-cum when it is ejaculated inside the vagina. But just touching of vagina with pre-cum stained hands does not result in pregnancy. So relax. Do not worry. The first sign of pregnancy is missed period. And other symptoms of pregnancy like nausea, vomitings, increased urination, sore breasts start 2 weeks after missed period in case of pregnancy. Even stress regarding the thought of pregnancy also makes one to feel the pregnancy symptoms. So relax. Avoid stress. Wait and check for the period. Headache and stomach cramps can be premenstrual symptoms. There is rarely any chance for pregnancy. Hope this helps. Best regards....

Hello, I noticed earlier today most of my head is covered in hard, hemispherical lumps from about an inch to 2 and a half inches in diameter, theres one like a hemi-cylinder about 3 and a half inches long and an inch wide.no also have had lower back pain from my lumbar area I believe just left of the spine, I havent really exercised at all in months and havent done any heavy lifting orr had any head injuries, family history is limited to heart and cancer diagnoseses from 50s to 80s, Im an 18 year old male, thank you for your time,Robert McCormack

Hello dear Robert, warm welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query in details .* The scalp condition is from multiple skin eruptions following bacterial infection most likely, needs clinical confirmation or a photo pic evaluation as an attachment in follow up.* Lower back pain is in concern with underlying Pyrex and infection. Hope this will help to clear your doubt . Wishing you fine recovery. Always welcome for any further assistance anytime. Regards .

sir am 22, i have the hemi facial spasm for more than 8 yrs. i want it to be cured without botox injections, without surgery. i want it to be cured by accupunture, accupressure or by homeo. where in chennai or cities close to chennai shall i find the remedy
|
Hello, As what I understand is you have a bifacial muscle spasm. So it would have been good if you had provided some more information in the past medical history. As any spasm over the facial region will have an HMF involved and needs a briefing for anyone to undergo in the depth if the case. For now, I will recommend for facial massage, facial massage, MFR of the facial muscles and some basic exercise like holding water in the mouth and making the water blown in each direction. Regarding homeopathy and acupressure I am quite unsure it may be helpful to you because any chronic cases need a proper allopathic attention initially and later change over to homeopathic or ayurvedic medicine. Also, trying out Botox is actually good, since its having no side effects at all, so you can go for Botox for a quick solution. This is totally my personal opinion about Botox rather going to homeopathic and acupressure and making wastage of money. In fact people with facial palsy, bells palsy and HMF involved have responded well to Botox for facial muscles. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Yes please!! I had torn pectoral muscles and streached ligaments about a year and a half ago and I have to be careful about lifting things or moving in the wrong way. Certain arm movements cause pain . Last night I rolled over on my left elbow in order to reach my iPad and now I have stabbing knife like pain shooting through from my shoulder blade to my chest. I would like to know if this pain is due to reinjuring myself or just a result of the loose ligaments etc? Also, do you think I will have these problems permanately? Thank you for your consideration. Jacquelyn
|
Hi Jacquelyn... Your stabbing pain is due to pectoral muscle...which would have got compressed while you roll.and activating a trigger or tender point. Since you aware of your loose ligaments. Spasm in the muscle would have arrested movements of shoulder girdle...resulting in sharp stabbing pain in shoulder Blade.... I recommend you to.... Ice your pectoral muscle and shoulder frequently...15 mins 5-6 times in a day... Gently knead on the muscle belly...initially not on the pain full area....once pain permits then move on to the painful area... Do strengthening exercises for setting up your shoulder and chest...as lack of strength and control of these muscles lead to occasional outburst of pain during activity.... Gently stretch your Pecs lats and biceps after pain reduced... If you have an anti-inflammatory medication prescribed to you previously have them. Hope this is helpful for you...Revert in case you need any further clarification...

Hi Doctor! I gave birth via cesarean section and after that my OB removed my Left ovary and Fallopian tube and according to biopsy test the diagnosis was a Mature cystic teratoma and a congestion on my Fallopian tube.Is it worst having that kind of diagnosis? Am i still capable of having a child in the future? I m seeking your advice. Thank you very much
|
Hi there, I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.First do not panic. Your treating doctor has removed the entire ovary, now you need not worry about the disease remaining behinds the diagnosis suggest that it is not a malignant tumor you need not worry about it. Secondly, you still have your other tube and ovary. That is more than enough to retain your fertility and womanhood. I will suggest you to get postmenstrual HSG done-Hysterosalpingography, to know about the patency of fallopian tube. One USG study will be of help to know about the condition of the ovary and uterus. If you have history of regular cycles then day 10 to 20 of the cycle is the most fertile period of the cycle, Try to have unprotected sex activity in this period at least on alternate days. If you are planning to get pregnant please start on Folic acid and vitamin B 12 supplements regularly. This helps to prevent various complications during conception, pregnancy and delivery. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.

Hi Doctor, I have pain on my left side just above my hip, inflammation on shoulder blade and through thigh and leg. It get worst during my period felling of nemness and period comes twice a month. Also i had a gallbladder removed in 2007. What is happening with me? I m 153 cm and wight 65 kgs.
|
Hi . Got your problem. I can understand your anxiety. Actually It's difficult to diagnose your problem from the above description as you have not mentioned any other signs. I think you might be having anemia secondary to excess bleeding, vitamin deficiency or any hormonal issues such as hypothyroidism etc. Which can have such vague symptoms. Pl.consult an OBS to find out the reason for such bleeding. Also get some blood tests done such as hemoglobin , folic acid and ferritin levels, it. D, thyroid profile etc. with an ultrasound pelvis. I am sure this will definitely help in solving your problems. Still if you have any doubts pl feel free to ask me. Take care and get well soon.

i HAD AN alif in 2006 and after 3 month check up the L5S1 was loose. They did a screw removal anterior and posterially did percutanious screwed metal on either side of s1. I have had pain and now neuropathy in my feet and left leg. Would it help to remove the metal and screws now?
|
Dear patient first I would like to know the reason for fusion surgery. Was It done for spondylolisthesis at l5s1 or for the disc prolapse surgery? If it was done for spondylolisthesis the reason for pain may be delayed fusion at l5s1 or non fusion. The reason for lower limb pain may be radiculopathy due to nerve compression by hardware. Detailed examination by expert spine surgeon is recommended. I would like to confirm diagnosis by doing X-ray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views. This will give me idea about progress of fusion and position of hardware. If possible MRI of lumbosacral spine is also advisable if not contraindicated by presence of hardware. Meanwhile, start tab regain x 75 mg one at bedtime. Removal of screws and metal can be decided only after both investigation.

My 22 mos old sons Hemoglobin A1c came back as 6.0 high % 4.8 - 5.6 01under that info it stateincreased risk for diabetes
|
I wonder if these test was done as directed by a doctor ? Well the high HbA1C of this level is suggestive of prediabetes. But as your child is 22 months old, more tests have to be done to make sure if he is a case of Type 1 Diabetic which also raises doubts of any other family member is diabetic, like father or grandfather, The Atlantis also arises doubts of sugar in urine. It is inappropriate to make any authoritative comment with just one report as why the report was taken itself is information needed to assess the condition. I would do an FBS, 1/2 hourly Glucose tolerance test after a glucose feed and evaluate the whole family history. Please reassess with your doctor who ordered the test and come back to me Regards.

Me and my gf fooled up we didn t have any sex but I rubbed my penis in her vagina the middle part of penis not the tip and I didn t cum over her vagina the sperm didn t touch her vagina not any surrounding part the precum may had touch the surrounding part but not the vagina but for protection I provide her ipill after 16 hours her last periods was on 7 may and we fooled up on 2 June she vomited 4 times but very little after taking ipill .. Will it effect her periods .. Will she get pregnant please help
|
Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. If she has regular monthly cycles, she was in the safe period when you had the sexual encounter. Hence, there is no chance of conception. Moreover, conception is very rare in the manner you have described. Please remember that pre-ejaculate contains enough sperm to cause conception even when deposited on the vagina during the fertile period. As she vomited before taking the emergency pill and not later, the activity of the pill is not affected. The pill can delay her next natural period by a week or two as it contains high hormone doses. Please see an expert for further management if she becomes overdue by ten days. Hope this helps.

The skin on my penis (uncircumcised), is cracked, not bleeding or an open wound, just the skin is superficially cracked, as well as the head of the penis, the skin is not plump and as moisturized as it should be, are there any steps I can take to make my penis back to the way it was?

Hello misunderstand your concerns think it is due to fungal infections (candidiasis) or dermatitis. Exact diagnosis is made by consulting dermatologist after examination and proper investigation. (swab test, cell culture, serology, NEAT test). Take following advice

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, thank you for your query. You have to find the cause of hepatomegaly first, and then it can be treated. It can be vascular, cirrhosis,hepatitis or some other cause. After you establish the right diagnosis the treatment can begin. Usually dietary habits and certain medicines are enough but sometime more aggressive therapy is necessary. If there is metabolic cause of your liver damage then you need to find of this it Wilson disease or hemochromatosis. Wish you good health. Regards.

I am 37 weeks pregnant and I noticed a a lump on my vagina. When I looked at it I realised that it was just a spot. However, I noticed that just inside my vagina is an extra part that wasn t there before I fell pregnant. I have suffered from painful intercourse whilst pregnant, could this be the cause?
|
Hi, I understand your concern. You seem to have an abscess of a mucus secreting gland present in side part of outer vaginal fold. Its Bartholdi cyst. It occurs due to occlusion of the duct of gland. Unless infected it remains without any symptoms. But once infection sets in inflammation, pain, fever followed by Catholics abscess follows. So, If there is no other problem except for swelling... you have to follow vaginal hygiene/ avoid any trauma or infection. But if there is infection & inflammation, you should consult your doctor for necessary treatment & management.(which will include antibiotic, anti trichomonal, anti-inflammatory medications/ incision & Chat Doctor. . As per need.) Thanks.

Hello~ My daughter is 5 years old and for the last few days I have noticed that she has broken blood vessels under her arms as well as on her back an torso. She has had swollen glands and seems to be very tired lately. She has had blood work and everything has come out just fine. Any ideas?
|
Hello, There are tiny blood vessels just under the skin which are all over the body. Sometimes minor trauma will cause them to rupture with the result that there is a little blood under the skin. They disappear in several days. An example of this is when a person coughs deeply, small red dots can appear on the upper chest. Is it possible that your daughter was wearing something that was tight clothing over her upper body? Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

It has been a year since I took the depo shot. I been taking the pill 1/10/2013. Til the middle of November. So from the middle of November til now 1/5/14 I haven t been taking any birth control. I had unprotected sex today 1/5/2014. Could I be pregnant? The last day of my period was December 29, 2013. Am I in a high risk of being pregnant?
|
Thanks for your question. Unprotected sex can always lead to pregnancy. With a menstrual period of 12/29/13, you are not in the midcycle portion of the menstrual cycle where pregnancy usually occurs, but pregnancy can occur during any part of the cycle. Pregnancy rates in any given menstrual cycle with unprotected sex run approximately 17% in most fertile couples. I hope this answers your question but feel free to contact me if you need further information.

I m a 25yr old male and I have this lump or bump under my leg and my genitals can this be caused by walking a lot or far distances the the underwear is giving the skin an irratation effect, its a little pianful and if I touch it it burns like hell. Its not the first time its happens to me it normaly stays there for plus minus a week and then dissappears. Could it be a gland? And should I worry or get it checked out is the anything I can use to reduce the pain?

Hi.based from your description, it could be folliculitis. This usually occurs after shaving, when hair is accidentally pulled out and inflammation and infection occurs, or when there's an irritation or an inflammatory reaction. Inflammation from uninfected follicles will subside in a few days time on its own. If the lesion, gets infected, a cyst or an abscess formation might ensue. If symptoms persist, a consult with your doctor is best for clinical evaluation. Management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

hi doctor,this is regarding the noisy snoring of my daughter..She had undergone a surgery for removing adinoid a year ago.She had the same trouble before but after the surgery she was fine.Whereas she is having the same snoring.She is 7 yrs old.What shall we do?
|
Thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor. Snoring can occur due to multiple causes. Most commonly the problem is in the tongue base as the tongue falls back in sleep and causes the obstruction. In that case, even the removal of the adenoids may not give you relief until the tongue base is reshaped. For a child of 7 years, I think you should wait. However, a sleep profiling needs to be done to evaluate whether she is having sleep apnea or whether she is getting proper sleep as it may hamper her growth. Please visit your ENT doctor about that. I hope that I have been able to clarify your situation to you. Feel free to revert in case of further queries if any.

Hi Sir! Myself,Sandeep viashwakarma from Dhanbad,I want to say that my father had once fallen from a tree during his childhood due to which his back head part swelled a little and now he is 48 years and the swollen portion has enlarged which has become like egg shaped.So sir what advices would you like to give us.Sir it is a matter of great concern for us, for my father is only earning person in my family.
|
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With the history it looks to be an organized hematoma of the scalp. However, the final diagnosis could be done only by a clinical examination and an MRI if need be. Therefore, I would advise you to take an appointment from a general surgeon for your father and get him assessed. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your fathers lump. 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 , I am 30 years , married 4 years ago. I am trying to conceive. Doctor did all the test and confirmed pcos.He said you need to reduce weight. My height is 5 feet and weight 60kg. I do normal situps at home. I have still not conceived and getting worried as this november I will be 31 years old.Please advice how to overcome pcos and conceive fast.
|
Headfirst of all get rid of tension, now you are 31 years but so what? You will conceive once PCs cured. Poly Cystic Ovarian Syn Chat Doctor. Using birth control pills can sometimes help regulate hormone levels so that the cysts can be taken care of. Sometimes doctor also prescribe cyproterone acetate for PCs. Once you stop the oral contraceptive as long there are no medical concerns, you shouldn't have problems with future conception. So need not worry, take a treatment for PCs and once cured you can conceive in the future. Hope this will help you. Good luck.

I am 66.jUST DIAGNOSED WITH ET.DR AT UAB in Alabama told me AVERAGE life expectancy is 4 years.That seems a little pessimistic from what i read.Any thoughts?I am very active and dont smoke.I do Crossfit 3 times per week.Also i have felt somewhat fatigued .Is that from et or hydroxy treatment.Thanks Bobby Boone
|
Dear Bobby, I don't know with which reference your doctor is telling such low life expectancy. Most of the ET patients have near normal lifespan. Only those who have thrombosis or transformation of ET to acute leukemia have reduced survival. This is the reference

I am 64 yrs old and play competitive tennis. I injured my left knee 5 months ago and the knee has been swollen above the knee. At one stage I rested it for 3 wks. It seemed perfect but I think i played too much too quickly and the soreness and swelling returned. I have rested it for the last fortnight- still swollen, tender to walk on but bit better
|
Hello, I have studied your case. As per your age and history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee. Most commonly meniscus injury occurs. As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion. If pain persist then you may need to do MRI again to see for any functional defect. Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG and TENS. Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair, and same day you can go home. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care

hi can you please confirm todays is my 17day of the cycle and i have to follicle in the left ovary one for 38mm and the other 23mm and than my doctor gave me an injection to rupture the egg on 12/07/2012 but still the egg is not ruptured could you just advise me on this please should i wait for the egg to rupture or now it will not rupture
|
Dear Deepika hello! Thanks for posting a query on healthcare. Generally follicle should rupture within 36 hrs of getting an injection for ovulation induction .in your case already 5 days passed after the injection, and it is already 17th day of the cycle, so there is very little hope that follicle will rupture now. One of the follicle is already 38 mm suggestive of the cyst formation. I hope I could answer your query to your satisfaction.

i ve had a pimple like bump on the bac of my neck for a while now it doesn t hurt but when squeezed a foul smelling puss comes out. sorry i don t feel comfortable giving out my cc information over the internet tanks though you have the email if you feel like helping me. Thanks
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Pimple like lump with foul smelling material is suggestive of sebaceous cyst or Desmond cyst. It is purely benign lesion(non-cancerous) you should go for complete excision of lump. 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.

Hello,First, you need to follow non-pharmacological measures to improve your sexual life which includes eating healthy, regular daily exercise of your pelvic muscles and wearing loose fitted garments. If all these measures fail to improve your sexual life then get a formal consultation from your doctor to see if there is any infection or hormonal imbalance and get treatment accordingly.

Hi there! My mum is complaining that she feels like her chest is tight and sometimes she finds herself having hard time to breath. She checked her bp and the result ok and the ecg showed normal reading. But she is in stress mode and her feet are cold too. What is her real problem? Thanks
|
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Noted you are mentioning your mom in stress. ECG normal....so cardiac cause not present. Most probability is stress induce panic attack... Try to avoid stress. Yoga and regular exercise effective antidote by endorphin release. Try to avoid situation that put her in stress. Behavioural therapy by psychiatrist can be given... If still problem present then investigate for respiratory causes.....-chest x-ray -physical examination-spirometry. Take care. Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,I am having watery and transparent semen while I masturbate, but in large volume. Is there any risk of infertility which this kind of sperm? And I used to masturbate once/twice a week. Is it safe to masturbate with this frequency? Please answer me. I am going to marry within a few months.Thanks in advance
|
Hi, Sperms are produced in body continuously and hence it should be continuously released. It is generally released through sexual intercourse and self maneuver through masturbation n if both are not done then it is released through night fall. So don't worry about your masturbation habits its completely normal. You can't do sperm analysis through your naked eye by seeing watery and transparent semen. Let it come like that if you still have doubt then go for sperm analysis. Hope this ll help. Thanks n regards

OK I have a frind who i ve known for almost a year now we have had many conversations and have talked a lot and sometimes we talk about things and i guess to me seems she has a jekyl and hyde personality what i mean is we would talk and after a while lots of times the conversations would go different ways for example she has stated she wants me just as a friend nothing more but then we talk and after a period of time she would start giving me indicators she wanted to be more then friends and tel me she loves me and sometimes would indicate again she would like to pursue seing if we coul be more then friends and then the next day i would ask her about it and she would go off on me saying she never said that i dont want nothing more then friends and i m not getting it to the point she involved others to get this through me and this has gone on and on and to me seems like i m talking to 2 seperate people do i make sense so far? to me its like when she goes to sleep a reset button is hit and i don t know what is fact and fiction. As I said sometimes at night we talk its ok then she does start indicating she wants more then friends and she even dictated a letter to me stating that but when i confront her about it she says i don t remember that or i never said that and some of her actions she does for example we went out once and we had a moment so to speak which was fine but then again i would ask her the next day and she would give the excuse i was so stressed out that dayi dont know what i was doing and it shouldn t have happened. I hope i have given enough information. now i know she had a car accident a long time ago and i think injured her head but i know she is seeing a psychologist and psychiatrist to help with a lot of problems so i honestly don t know whats going on or even if i explained this right its like things we talk aboutthe night before are erased and it goes back to square one
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your question... Such kind of unstable, fluctuating behavior can be seen in a variety of psychiatric problems, like personality disorders, dissociative identity disorders, etc. A detailed history (including past and personal history) and a comprehensive psychological assessment is required to come to a definitive diagnosis. It's good that she is taking the help of a psychiatrist and psychologist. Your level of involvement with her is your personal choice, but it is better to be cautious about getting yourself emotionally involved with her before understanding her completely. Wish you all the best.-

Hi im 42 yeats old, not overweight and im waking up in the mornings with a central chest pain like someone sitting on me, and a back pain around the same area. I have had these pains before but not when waking up. I have had stress tests, tilt tests, ECGs, holter test etc and on all they have found nothing, but now the pass month or so I am getting the pain when I wake up and it lasts for around 10-15 mins. Any ideas.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about heart related pain as your extensive cardiac work up is normal. Central chest pain commonly seen with HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of chest tightness, central chest pain, back pain etc. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. 2. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. 5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux. 6. Quit smoking and Alcohol if you have these habits. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have been experiencing back pain for a while now. Its not really bad, its just continual until I lay down or take ibuprofen. I dont like taking ibuprofen, and would like to know if I should see a chiropractor or not. I think my pain has to do with standing for long hours, sitting in one position for a while, or even sleeping bad.
|
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely due to lumbar intervertebral disc injury like herniation or osteocyte Chat Doctor. A physical examination with an Orthopedic will give the clue for that and an X-ray lumbosacral spine followed by an MRI should be taken if needed to confirm that. I usually treat my patients of such conditions with muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside NSAIDs like Diclofenac and neurotrophic. I send them to physiotherapy along with this. If there is a serious injury or pain not effective on therapy then I recommend surgical correction. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.

Hello my name is Emily and I used to see a psychiatrist . While there he said he thought I had Paranoid Schizophrenia , he ended up passing away and now I am searching for a new psychiatrist for me to attend. I am not sure what Specialities the psychiatrist needs to have. I see a lot of Anxiety Disorders when i check their Specialities . But for my case I am not sure what to look for. I have gotten worse. I now have bad dellisions, here things, and am suffereing from a Voice in my head. I am currently searching for a professional in the Chesapeake, VA area and am coming up lost. What do you suspect I should do?
|
Hi there, thanks for asking. Every psychiatrist can treat the problem you mentioned, and it is very important for you to restart the medication as soon as possible. Paranoid subtype of schizophrenia has the best prognosis among all the subtypes of schizophrenia. When your situation becomes stabilized, the dose of the medication could be lowered enough to avoid any short term side effect (like tremors, rigidity, Chat Doctor. They may even discontinue the medication in its own time. I wish you the best health.

Female 34 year old, 176-180 lbs, fibroid tumors, chronic sinusitis. 2 prior surgeries to remove nasal pollups. Third most recent surgery x 2 weeks ago to remove nasal pollups. Surgery went well, seeming normal recovery. However, developed two blood clots in r leg ( below the kne in calf area.) Blood clots were discovered a week following surgery. Immediatly started on Lovenox. 24 hours after beginning lovenox tx, exhibited siezure like symptoms, inclusing headache, aura, muscle spasm and slurred speech. Admitted to hospital, all ct scans and blood work were negative. Seizure symptoms decreased significantly following the 18 hours after the initial seizure/hospital admission. Seizures returned after about 5 hours later. Hospital did not discharge as the seizure persisted continously. Is there possibility that the seizures are side effect of surgery to remove sinus pollups? Speculated that it could be side effect of Levenox because she does not have bleeding in brain.
|
Hello, There is an increased risk of seizures following anesthesia, but typically the individuals already has a risk of having seizures if they occur. It is highly unlikely that Lovenox would cause seizures, unless as you said there was bleeding into the brain, but that could be seen with a CT scan or MRI. The symptoms you describe, although they can be seen in seizures, don't particularly strike me as such. A typical seizure involves convulsions with loss of consciousness. The period after seizures however can present as you described. There are more focal seizures that again can show up as you describe. Continuous seizures would cause significant harm, most likely loss of consciousness as they often spread to involve the whole brain. In any case, an EEG should have been done on you to evaluate for true seizure activity, and if you haven't had one done, you definitely should. The description of the symptoms could easily be due to a migraine as some types of migraines can actually result in neurological symptoms with confusion, slurred speech, weakness, vision loss, and numbness/tingling. I feel that this would be more likely, unless an EEG was done, and it showed true seizure activity. Surgeries can cause stress on the body which can result in both headaches and seizures. I don't think it is Lovenox would cause either unless as you note there was bleeding in the brain. If an EEG was done and there is seizure activity, then she should be started on a seizure medication such as Kendra 750 mg by mouth twice a day. If this is the case, then she has likely had a propensity for seizures, which was simply unmasked by the surgery. None them less an MRI with and without contrast with an epilepsy protocol (thin T2 cuts through the temporal lobes) should be obtained to evaluate for any lesions in the brain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

my hair is started to loss from last one year & much frequently since last 7 months .... i am not having the habit of applying coconut oil to my hairs & i daily take bath by washing the hairs ... kindly suguest the remedies to control hair loss... my age is 24
|
Hi, As per your query you have hair loss which is known as alopecia problem which seems to be due to genetic factor, fungal infection, hormonal changes and stress. Need not worry. I would suggest you consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may order skin patch test, blood test and physical examination. The doctor may prescribe you a Chat Doctor. Start taking supplements like vitamin A, Omega-3 and vitamin E. Take Indian gooseberry powder (half spoon) with water once a day and use almond oil to do hair massage. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

hi I have to have a ggt test done along with a cbc and liver panel. My question is will any of these be affected if I over the last six months have had about three nights of going out and drinking a little to much. maybe 5-6 drinks and a few shots. it is not something I normally do. although i do enjoy a glass of wine with friends or a beer during happy hour on occasion. but never more than 5-8 times a month
|
Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Chat Doctor and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer. Yes it can affect and probably is since alcohol leads to liver damage and raises get levels. You should do liver ultrasound to rule out more serious conditions and reduce alcohol intake. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

my son 19 yrs. lives at home, was shot in head front lobe bullet exited right out the other side august this year. now left side of his head around the temple has started to pulsate with a sunk in apperance. now hes complaining of eletrical shocks shooting through his abdomen and they become quite painful at times they radiate to his hands and arms. carol
|
Hi. Shoch like pains in the abdomen of your son is obviously due to the trauma to the brain in bullet shot. IT will show its effects all the time in life. The radiating pains to the arms and hands may have the same reason. I would advise you to consult a Neurosurgeon, get MRI of brain, and start treatment for the pains. Also go for check-up f the abdomen to rule out any actual disease in the abdomen causing the pains.

Hi,I have just had an endoscopy for stomach pains and although the hospital said the result was normal,in the advice/comments on the report they have given me it says...... There is a mucosal prolapse trough lax cardia otherwise normal endoscopy to the second part of the duodenum . (Not sure if the word trough is a misspelling on their part).The hospital didnt explain this to me and I would be grateful if you could.Thankyou in advance. Michael
|
Hi Michael thanks for your question. Your upper G I endoscopy report is normal, that is good news. Stomach has different part and part of stomach which joins with lower end of esophagus that is food pipe is called cardiac end commonly called as cardiac, The lower end of esophagus has a splinter which prevent gastric content and mucosa of stomach passing from stomach in esophagus and when this splinter is loose content of stomach and/or its mucosa pass into esophagus producing symptoms of pain and burning. There are ways to increase tone of this splinter which you can discuss with your physician. This is benign treatable condition, so nothing to worry. Hope this answers your question.

I had double jaw surgery last year in dec 2011. Within three months of the surgery, I had to have two subsequent surgeries to remove all titanium metal due to infection and complications. Now more than a year later, I have begun having chronic pain in lower right jaw which at times radiates through my teeth and gums. The source appears to be the jaw bone incision site. How can that be? I am experiencing inflammation in that area and also joint and muscle soreness too.
|
Hello. You probably had a jaw surgery for correction of your jaw defect. The surgery is known as Orthographic surgery. Usually in some patients the titanium plates get infected, and it has to be removed in later surgeries. Now there are resolvable plates which resort away. You should get an OPG x-ray taken to determine if there is any problem in the site of surgery. Consult your Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon at the earliest. Regards

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. See if your one tube is open then no need for hysterolaproscopy u may choose GUI and may get success but yes if your both tube blocked then hysterolaproscopy is necessary to find the reason for blockage it may or may not really block sometimes because of spasm die can't pass. Also make sure your husband semen analysis is normal. And your all hormonal assay normal like FSH, LH,THYROID, PROLACTIN plus your ovum size still smaller it should be 18\u00a0mm at time of ovulation which may be increase through hormonal tab and injection. First avoid stress do regular exercise and yoga plus castor oil pack message on your abdomen which also help in open the blockage. Consult any infertility specialist for your trouble. If u over weighted then reduce your weight, plus take more fibrous diet reduce consumption of carboy Chat Doctor. Thanks

Hello I m Mack and I m 19 years old Well my problem is mursterbation lots of mursterbation i have started it when I was 17 and as far as I remember till now I have done it everyday now I have got addicted to it and as much as I stop my self is as much as I want to do it I have just noticed my sperm count has decreased and I don t have a healthy relationship what would u recommend to increase my Sperm count plus I smoke as well thanks.
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Don't worry about the volume of semen. You cannot say that your sperm count is less on the basis of semen volume. Semen volume depends on many factors and masturbation is not among them. Yes. If you happen to masturbate twice within a gap of two hours, naturally the semen volume will be less for the second masturbation. I suggest you to reduce the masturbation frequency to thrice a week. Masturbation is normal, natural and cannot harm your health if done in moderation. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http

My father has multiple myeloma. he s on his third month of the BiRD treatment right now with Revlmid, biaxin and dexamethazone. his BP has been low this week and tonight has dropped to 101/53. he s weak and can t keep his eyes open and has sever leg cramps. He s been fairly active since on the treatment since this particular regimen can cause blood clots. He s coherent and not dizzy at all. we can t get him to drink much, but we are thinking maybe the low bp is due to dehydration. we can t get ahold of his doctor or nurse right now. should we worry? is there anything we can do to make it come up?

Hello, After going through the medical details provided by you, I can understand your concern for his health and I would like to advise you that he needs proper medical supervision and taking him to Emma Jenny department in the hospital is a wiser choice as some blood tests will be required to rule out electrolyte imbalance or any other significant derangement.

i m 26 male. I have low sperm count and low motility problem. I am taking Paternia Tablets from last 10 days. My wife has everything normal. I want to be father soon.

My sperm count was first only 3 million, .This is for your information. my email id is YYYY@YYYY . Please answer me as soon as possible. I m very worried.......please help me. Please tell me how much time it will take?(sperm count-3 m/motility
|
Hello Normal fertility is associated with sperm counts >48 million/mL, motility >63 %, exhibiting normal morphology >13 %. You mentioned that your sperm counts are 3 million, while sluggish motility 20, so it is very difficult to say without read of exact report. However, normal sperm counts is important for fertility, so also motility. In my opinion either upload all detail reports of SEMEN analysis or consult an INFERTILITY specialist and get his opinion. Good luck.

I am 31 years old lady when take scan of my abdomen it shows the following features about my liver please give the suggestions. Measures 15.0 cms in long axis Mild increase in parenchymal texure seen in both lobes. no focal lesion seen portal and biliaryradicals are normal. Gall bladder
|
Dear patient, I think that you are talking about the ultrasonographic (USG) Scan findings of your abdomen, i don't know the reason why you have got it done but the USG findings that you have mentioned are suggestive of FATTY LIVER. Fatty liver is a condition in which there is accumulation of triglycerides (fat) in excess amount than normal inside the liver parenchymal cells due to various reasons. It is a reversible condition provided the underlying conditions that cause it are treated, removed or controlled. If left untreated it may remain static, or may lead to liver cell injury causing hepatitis which we call steatohepatitis and may even progress to end stage liver disease known as cirrhosis of liver. Common causes of Fatty Liver include Alcoholism, Viral Hepatitis especially Hepatitis C, Metabolic syn Chat Doctor.

I saw my family doctor about 8 weeks ago because I had a mild rash on my arms above the elbow , in addition to one on both ankles. He gave me a cream to use, triamcinolone acetonide . So far, it hasn t made a lot of difference. Then, just in the last three weeks, I developed a raised, leathery red rash on my lower back and buttocks . None of this really itches other than occasionally on my legs. I normally have an itchy dry rash in the winter months when the humidity is low. I think my doctor thought this was dermatitis .
|
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor forum thank you for your query it looks like atomic dermatitis or edematous dermatitis. Triamcinolone is sometimes not effective, so we have to go for higher one in severe case oral steroid also given by the doctor.apply good moisturizer lotion over the body .use warm water to bathe and wear cotton cloths Chat Doctor. Better to consult dermatologist if it not improves I hope I answered your question

My boyfriend has a lump on his forehead. It isnt hard like a knot. Its soft. It came about 3 days ago or so but it wasnt really noticeable. It is about and inch in diameter now. It doesnt hurt. You can push on it or touch it and theres no pain. What could it be? Is it something to worry about?

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has some benign cyst like Desmond cyst or spot tissue tumor like lipoma or skin adnexal tumor. You should go for excision biopsy and histopathological examination. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. 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, My name is Hema.. My brother is sufferening from severe back ache, he has had it occasionaly in past but it has gone severe now, had a lot of tests done, MRI and all but nothing specific came in those, he visited a rheumotologist in mumbai but the doctor sais nothing specific to be seen in the reports, please suggest some good doctor or treatment
|
Dear patient MRI is very specific and sensitive for diagnosing reason for back pain. Since its normal you need not worry. Pain must be due to muscular weakness and this can be treated by physiotherapy. Please take him to physiotherapist and learn back strengthening and back extension exercise plus abdominal strengthening exercise. Maintain ergonomics at work and take diet rich in calcium. You can take tab attract p twice a day for pain relief.

hello doctor, A spot is detected in the lungs area of my mother her age is 55 years We have gone through various phase of tests, that are 1) X-Ray 2) CT -Scan Impression
|
Hi. Metastasis/primary lung tumor and infective lesions such as granulomas(tubercular). Hence, a histopathological diagnosis is essential to determine the plan of treatment, since the treatment will not be the same for both these conditions. So the biopsy is necessary. Other test that include the blood counts, contour tests are indirect evidences which can be useful, but not anywhere close to the biopsy. Discuss with your doctor for more details...

my daughter is 5 years old and has had a 101 to 104 fever for the past 4 days. she hasn t really eaten anything and has been vomiting. she complains of pain in her belly and is very listless. we did a urine test do to her urine being a brown color and it came back that there was a very high red blood count. my husnads father was diagnosed at 40 with type 2 diabetes but other than that it does not run in the family. she is at the lab now doing blood work and we have to take samples of her urine for the next 24 hours. she was recently on ceraphlix (sp?) for a maybe urinary tract infection but that has been ruled out and taken off the medicine. is there anything else that it could be and something more that i should be asking the doctor? thanks!

Hello, I just read your query. The symptoms you have mentioned here all can be due to acute nephritis. It is a condition where due to some infection, inflammation in kidneys occur, as a result blood stained urine and fever etc. symptoms may occur.* The other possibility for blood stained urine and fever etc. symptoms may be due to kidney stones. When kidney stones move into ureters they can cause this kind of symptom.* Ask your doctor for an ultrasound abdomen, so that if any of these possibility is there, it can be ruled out.* I hope my answer would be helpful for you. Thank you.

Good morning doctor.........I am Mrs.Jegan got married on 27th Jan this year i got pregnant in the very next month but i got a miss carry and i went for a D&C on 27march. Now on 27th July was my due for periods but i missed i consult the Dr they confirmed I am pregnant then on 1st Aug i gat a bleeding and it was like normal period and now yesterday night i had a very light colour little bleeding and mornning the color was dark Why this is happning am i pregnant bcoz i didnt went to doctor after that please suggest me please
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. Iam sorry for your condition. In my opinion the bleeding after a positive pregnancy test might suggest miscarriage. But the definite diagnosis is possible only after physical examination and ultrasound. The bleeding during pregnancy can be due to various reasons like miscarriage, bleeding from cervix, hormonal abnormalities like thyroid abnormalities, progesterone insufficiency etc. In a few cases the pregnancy continues normally when the cause is treated. So I would like you to consult doctor and ultrasound done to know the status of pregnancy.Don't worry. Avoid stress, physical strain and intercourse. Take good rest. Hope this helps. Best regards ....

For a whole two days now, my husband has been complaining of a continuous pain on the upper right arm, and pins and needles in the thumb, middle and index fingers in his right hand. He is unable to sleep because of it. He said it feels like something deep in the muscles of his upper arm.
|
Dear Friend. Hi, I am Chat Doctor, I have read your query in detail, I understand your concern. It seems he has got some nerve compression causing these symptoms. I would advise you to see a doctor. He would do a clinical examination and would give you a conclusion. If inconclusive he might require MRI / X-ray off Cervical spine. At present, he might take a painkiller like Acetaminophen in moderated dose. A Hot fomentation over the neck should also help. This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me. Stay Healthy. Chat Doctor, MD

Hi I am 17 years old and I am a female. Recently I found out I have low blood sugar. However, everytime i stand up I blackout and have to hold on to something (what happens is like when you rub your eyes really hard then let go and its all fuzzy etc). I was a bit overweight so i have been trying to lose weight. And not only does this happen when i stand up, i can randomly be standing/walking outside or inside and the same thing will take place. And lately i get tried very quick and everytime I do something and i go fast i get really weak after. I have no idea what this is.
|
Hi, You are 17 years, female, over weight. It appears that you might be having hypothyroidism, or may be having hypo avitaminosis, anemia, or genetic over weight with cardiac involvement. I usually prescribe to such patients iron substitutes, complex, and protein substitutes, and get the thyroid profile, ECG, and hemoglobin estimation etc. for confirmation. So I advise you to consult a physician for treatment. Thank you.

I have a muscle ache in the shoulder blade region of my back. Every morning when I wake up, I find it hard to get out of bed by moving up into a sitting position. Its been going on for about a month now. Its not to the point where it hurts, but I can definitely feel it when I turn my head left and right. Ive tried massaging it but I cant get a proper grip on where it actually is. I believe it is much deeper and hard to massage from the outside. What is wrong with me?
|
Hi, Thanks for your query. The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain. To get relief from the pain and for quick healing

i have a small slightly raised bump on the top of my foreskin. It does not hurt or itch. It is not a blister it is not filled with pus. Its more like a swollen pimple but nothing can be squeezed out. Is been there for about a year now. I picked at it when i first noticed it and it did bleed. It formed a scab after that and now it sort of looks like a scar or scar tissue. I was somewhat promiscous before seeing some sex workers and although I tried to be very safe therr were a few times where intercourse did happen without protection. Ive been to a sexual health clinic 4 times now and the diagnose the first 3 times was that it was probably nothing. The last and 4 time the doctor froze off the bump thinking it could be a wart but she wasnt 100% sure. Now after the treatment the scab from the freezing has fallen off but the original bump is still there looking like it first did when i first noticed it. Is it a normal skin bump or hpv
|
HelloThanks for query. Based on the facts that you have described the small lump that you have on foreskin since one year is most likely to be a Sebaceous Cyst, However the diagnosis can be confirmed only on clinical examination in person. You need to consult qualified General surgeon for clinical examination .he would be the best judge to decide need for it to get it excised along with sac (in Toto). This is a simple surgery done as an out patient procedure and offers permanent cure. Please do not worry this is definitely not HIV. Chat Doctor.

I have a pain in my gum(root of 4th and 5th teeth). I have visited dentist and he suggested me for root channel treatment. After root channel treatment he is trying to remove the pain using some medicine course. But the pain is not resolve and after some time back again. Now he is given me clavam 625 course for 5 days(Thrice in a day). He told me its become a chronic now. Now I am worried about this pain is existing from last 6-8 months and I have started the treatment from last month. Please suggest me the actual solution and the treatment. Thanks.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query, I feel there might be failure root canal treatment, or it can be a tooth infection in the adjacent tooth. Consult an oral physician and take a radiograph to rule out the other problems in the root canal treated tooth. If I am the treating doctor I would have put you on metronidazole along with those Chat Doctor. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.

|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your question. Severe fever with no associated symptoms like cold/cough/loose stools can be due to viral infection. For this it is best to give as prescribed paracetamol Chat Doctor. If your son has associated symptoms of cold/cough and temperature is not coming down you can discuss with your pediatrician regarding antibiotics. I hope this answers your query. Good luck. With best regards,

Hi, My son started complaining about stomach pain yesterday night, and fever was there.In mid night he started with loose motion with green color water.I took him to doctor, and prescribed with Metrogyl, Calpol with 5 days. Do my son on right medication?

Hi, Thanks for your question. After going through your question, I would like to advise you to continue Metro and Cal pol as advised by your doctor as they are the right medications for your son. After going through your question there is most likely possibility of stomach infection in your son. Metrogyl is an antibiotic which is given for this stomach infection and Cal pol is for fever. Along with these medications maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. Hope this helps you, if so do vote.

had treatment for CMML leukemia 5.75 years ago. I have not had any treatment since and go to the hospital for a checkup every 6 months.All seems fine and platelets are at the lowest end of normal.I have asked my Dr. several times am I cured or not. Nobody seems to be able to answer or explain. Yours Bridie Curtis

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. There was no explore leukemia, cure is achieved if there is no relays of leukemia within 5 years while in other this is 7 or 10 years. However, if your blood picture is fine and you don't have sign of disease then you have to satisfied and don't need to worry. Just do frequent check-ups.Wish you good health. Regards nation because the answer is not so simple. It is hard to determine is patient cured since there can be long period of remission and then disease come back. Remission means that there are no sign of disease and no symptoms, but this doesn't mean\"cure\". For s

My son, who is 13, noticed a lump in his groin area two days ago. It is about an inch long and half an inch wide, rather firm and very sensitive to touch. The skin over it appears normal. It hurts him intermittently. It seems likely to be a swollen inguinal lymph node. He has not been sick, nor does he have any apparent cuts on his legs or feet. We saw the doctor yesterday. The doctor recommended an ultrasound. This procedure is scheduled in a few days. Last night, the area above the swollen node began to swell as well. This swelling is not a distinct lump like the original spot, just a swollen area about 2-3 inches long and wide. Today he is complaining of a sore throat. The ultrasound is scheduled for Friday. Is further treatment more urgent given these additional symptoms?
|
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. Lymph node swelling is associated with infection or inflammatory process in pelvic or abdominal area and will usually be associated with fever. Lymphadenitis is another possibility and that is also associated with more pain and fever. As those signs are absent I suspect an inguinal hernia. Does he have any change on lump while coughing? Hernia can have such changes also. Any way ultrasound will give you good information about this. In case of hernia if not reducible surgical correction should be considered. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.

Hi, my mother is suffering from severe stomach ache which started three months ago, she is not able to eat any solid stuff, her condition is deteriorating day by day, after several tests doctors have diagnosed her with Stage 3 Colon Cancer though her Biopsy report is pending, doctor has asked me to go for PET Scan as well to get things more clear, I request you to please suggest me if surgery is possible in her case or chemotherapy is the only option left, or if both are required.I have uploaded the CT scan, colonoscopy report, blood reports for your reference.please suggest.
|
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Stage 3 means that tumor infiltrated colon wall and surrounding lymph nodes - it means that surgical procedure is possible, but it can only remove microscopically cancer and involved colon. It can also remove lymph nodes, but it is not possible to be sure that cancer isn't spread already. So if ct and PE done show any metastases then surgery should be definitely done. Chemo can be started after surgery. Buzt if there is evidence of cancer outside colon then the behemoth should be done first Hope I have answered your query. Wish you good health. Regards

I am a 13 year old female. I am overweight. My friends have done research and think I could be on the verge of becoming bulimic. I purge once a week if they. I dont eat even if i am hungry often. I push food away and wont eat in front of people. I lie and say I have already eaten. I really dont want to tell anyone unless I know for sure if i am bulimic or not.
|
HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor The way you have explained your symptoms, you could become a case of bulimia nervosa. Currently, you are weight conscious, but not bulimic. In bulimia, patients do binge-eating and purging, or consuming a large amount of food in a short amount of time followed by an attempt to rid him or herself of the food consumed (purging), typically by vomiting, taking a laxative, diuretic, or stimulant, and/or excessive exercise, because of an extensive concern for body weight. You have few of these symptoms. Thanks

I originally was on blood pressure medication when my son passed 10 yrs ago then they just left me on it. I had a hip replacement in March and my pressure was very low so they took me off my meds. I was going to the gym and so my pressure was excellent. now I havent been to the gym but was on this diet where I was eating bacon everyday well there went my pressure 150/74. 144/69 145/75 161/81 143/74 139/70 this has been the last 2 weeks should I call my internist I just had a physical on Dec 3 my pressure was 129/72. I am going for a echo on Monday Dec 16th what are your thoughts. Is there anything all natural to take without going back on meds? I am watching my salt
|
**1. If going for ECHO, just ask for Baseline investigations like Lipid-Blood sugar Thyroid Profile and urine for microalbuminuria for any underlying cardiovascular risk factor for blood pressure.2. Since blood pressure measurements are fluctuating, so ask for ultrasonography of a Chat Doctor. 3. Since on low salt diet thus five-step approach to the disease is

Dear parent, splenomegaly is usually due to a systemic illness either a hematological condition or a hepatic condition. The primary goal of treatment is to cure or control the causative condition of the splenomegaly. If treatment failed you may consider splenectomy. This will lead to precautions that need to be followed in splenic child as daily penicillin doses, preventing and treating with caution any febrile illness as it might turn into a life-threatening condition. And taking the pneumococcal vaccination 10 days at least before surgery.

My Mama called me tonight saying her doctor is sending her to a oncologist hematologist in the morning after two blood tests that showed extremely high white blood cells and low oxygen in her blood. She had her spleen removed 10 years ago and hasn t had any problems with it until recently with being run down and tired all the time what could this be
|
Hi there, It is difficult to answer your question on basis of the information given here. It seems that she is having what we call as Leukocytosis and Anemia and had splenectomy done. What was the reason for her splenectomy 10 years ago would be vital information to have. The reason for her being run down and tiredness could range from infection to malignancy but would need proper evaluation. As advised seeing a hematologist would be the right thing to do. Regards

Im at my wits end, Ive had chest pains on and off for as ling as I can remember, every test Ive had has been clear, at the moment its on my left hand side, it comes and goes when it likes. Everytime I go to the doctor he tells me theres nothing to worry about however how can I stop worrying when it always seems to be there. Its been worse since I stopped smoking last year and decided to get healthy. When I walk with a back pack on my whole chest hurts
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your chest pain is more when you lift bag pack, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Start calcium and vitamin D 3 supplements as deficiency of these can also cause vague chest pain.Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi My mom 55-56 years old is having severe buring sensation and immense pain in in her stomach area. she vomits out whatever she eats and no medicines seems to be working on her. She hasnt been able to throw out waste since like 5 days now.what is wrong with her and what tests should i do and how much will it cost me..Please advice ASAP.Thank you for your advice.
|
HI. The symptoms of persistent vomiting, acidity and burning sensation in the stomach along with constipation can be due to an intestinal construction. Considering the age of your Mother I would like to advise upper GI endoscopy, CT scan of the abdomen, colonoscopy and other blood, urine and stool tests (after enema) to see the cause of these. You may please consult the Surgical Gastroenterologist. We have to rule out Colorectal Cancer, Gastric ulcer or cancer, Tuberculosis of the abdomen. This may give a guideline for the further investigations and management.

Hi, this is eugene of Philippines and I would like to inquire, how can I lower my sgpt and my sgot in normal way. My sgpt is 74.43 and my sgot is 43. My physician advise me to take ultrasound for HBL. Is this ok? Should highly appreciate your prompt reply. Thanks
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your liver enzymes level are slightly increased. Level of SGPT increase in liver damage. It can be due to viral infection, alcohol, Chat Doctor. You should go for ultrasound abdomen and complete liver function test including hepatitis test. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Till that you should take low fat diet. Avoid alcohol. Consult your doctor and plan 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.

I am 43 years old and have classic gallbladder pains and symptoms, HOWEVER, I had and ultra sound and Ct scan and they are negative.My blood alt and ast and lipase are elevated.I have pain in my upper right abdomen and need to know what my next step is. can you help or suggest what I should do?
|
HI. The enzymes are elevated, means there can be a problem with the head of the pancreas. This is as per your symptoms. You need an MRI for the area to get a proper diagnosis, and also an ERCP (endoscopy)... Get a proper diagnosis under the care of a Gastroenterologist. Till then stop fatty foods. Take plenty of oral fluids if tolerated. If not possible to take orally, you may need an admission and further management.

my father is paralysed in right side of the body due to stroke. also he is able to speak. he is on physio therepy and taking prescribed medicine by cardiologist. his blood sugar is very high, 350 - 450. I just want to know how musch time he ll take to recover? Please help.
|
Hi, Most would tell you that if it's been already several months since the stroke then, however, much he's improved to this point is probably the stable plateau upon which he will continue for the foreseeable future. However, I've seen nontrivial improvements in stroke patients as far out as 18-24 months from when they had their event. Of course, these folks were also aggressively and faithfully rehabilitating almost daily with either supervision or at home with the family, but they were actively working to make the affected functions better. Therefore, the real answer is that it is highly dependent upon the amount and time a patient spends day to day rehabilitating and focusing on making functions better that were affected by the stroke. Also, very important for anyone expecting good or full recovery is strict control of risk factors. Glycemic of 350-450 are significant risk factors for recurrent stroke and will also reduce his ability to rehabilitate if, in fact, that's what he's doing now. Many good thoughts and hopes that your father can find a way to get his diabetes under better control so that he may be able to fully come back from his stroke. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello, I currently have Paraguard IUD in, and have yet to get my period. I think my last period was the end of january and i have not been keeping track because they are always around the same time. My husband and I did have sex on Feb 15 and Feb 16. I took 2 tests yesterday and both said negative. Could this be a false negative or am I in the clear of definitely not being pregant?
|
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. Regard I U D is copper fitted I U D and most potent, so there are no chances of any pregnancy. As you mentioned that home pregnancy test is negative twice, so why worry. However, it may happen that, if I U D not inserted at proper site or persons are not trained than there are chances of pregnancy. Consult a gynecologist and get his opinion as physical examination is very important. Good luck.

|
Hi, Were there any pus cells or ABCs in the report. Your count is normal, but the sperms are not motile or healthy enough. I suggest you get a Semen culture done and if there is any infection the report will suggest what antibiotic to take. You might need antibiotic therapy for two weeks and that could help. You could also try an Ayurvedic preparation called Speak which will have to be taken for three months. All the best. Chat Doctor.

Coughing an sneezing a lot the last few days allergies . My size hurts like my bra band is pushing into my ribs . Not painful just discomfort . I have no problems sleeping or certain positions . Mostly when sitting no other symptoms could I have bruised my ribs
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Persistent sneezing and coughing can lead to chest pain because of inflammation of the muscles in the chest cavity. Using anti histamines and a cough suppressant to reduce the sneezing and coughing would help. You may also need to take an anti-inflammatory painkiller to help with the chest pain. This includes meds such as Catalan, ibuprofen, naproxen hope this helps

During our morning walks my wife gets short of breath on the hills, and her legs get heavy. She doesnt seem to improve with routine walking, and sometimes its worse than others. she is 5-4 and 142 lbs, and we have been walking for 45 minutes every day for many years
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your wife is having breathlessness on heavy exertion (uphill walking). This is commonly seen with lung diseases like bronchitis and heart diseases like angina and heart failure. So better to rule out these diseases first. So get done 1. ECG and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases. 2. Chest x-ray and PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out lung pathology. She may need treatment on the basis of these reports. Don't worry, she will be alright with treatment. Better to first diagnose herself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.

i like to get info on the internet and occasionally read, but i for always have the same problem of nodding and unable to continue. i can do active work and yard gardening, but have hard time reading. in past i could be more awake and able to search on internet around 10 p.m. at night. until recently and just get too sleepy even then.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. A recent onset of symptoms such as inability to focus or concentrate and excessive sleepiness could be signs of stress or depression. However, a detailed history and a psychological assessment is necessary in order to diagnose your problems accurately. If these symptoms are causing you a lot of distress and affecting your daily routines, then I would advise you to seek professional help for a psychiatrist. I would also suggest that you keep yourself well HY Chat Doctor. You can also try yoga or other relaxation exercises to keep yourself relaxed and stress-free. Wish you all the best.

i am having episodes where i suddenly seem to stare into space just for a few seconds this is happening when driving too should i be worried I am 38 years old and i have history of vestisular dysfunction, menieres disease, benign post variable and i have hearing loss i have hearing aids but cannot wear doe to them making me gip when inserted into ear.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing to us, I went through your history. The episodes you describe of staring blankly needs to he investigated further. These episodes are unlikely to be related to deniers disease or any problem related to the ear. The episodes are usually accompanied by amnesia and a change in consciousness. They usually originate in the brain. You need to visit a neurologist or a psychiatrist. You may expect them to ask for an Electroencephalogram and an MRI of the brain to rule out the possibility of seizures. Hope this helps Chat Doctor.

After that I felt my hips cramping,my stomach bloated,I feel dizzy and dont want to eat..my head aching and keep having nausea .i expect my next period this 2nd weeks of August..is there a possibility that I may get pregnant?

Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Your symptoms are indicating towards pregnancy. But please wait till you get your periods. Only after the missed periods you can get exact pregnancy confirmation.it is difficult to predict with current symptoms now, as enough B Chat Doctor HORMONE is not built up to detect pregnancy now.Therefore, please wait for your missed periods.

I have methylprednisolone that was prescribed for my back spasm that I never took. I have has recurring symptoms of a cold over the last 6 weeks that have seemed to have got better then they come back. Fbose symptoms are sore throat, loss of voice and other common cold symptoms. Csn I take this medicine and will it help to get me over these symptoms?
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It would be best not to use this medication for these complaints. Steroids should never be used unless absolutely indicated, and they are not indicated for a common cold. They would suppress the immune system in this case anyway and would not help you fight off your infection. Resting your voice will help it to return. Additional treatment includes

Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor .... Because of pneumonia you had oxidative pleural effusion...250 ml fluid is very much high amount... Now again you have pleural effusion.... For that first sputum is sent for microscopic examination... Sputum culture also need to be done....ADA estimation also done along with sputum for Tuberculosis detection. If TB present AKT need to be given... If TB not presents again pneumonia has to be treated according to culture report.... If therapeutic pleural effusion fluid removed then send it for cytological examination.... Consult pulmonologist or physician for your condition... Take care. Chat Doctor.
