what're the tests for idiopathic intracranial hypertension?
the most direct test is to measure pressure in the spinal fluid. this is done with a spinal tap and pressure measuring column. the fluid column is measured, and then the fluid is drained off. just draining the fluid can relieve symptoms. analysis of the fluid would rule out more serious conditions. this procedure is easily performed in a doctor's office or emergency room. see more...
try doing a compression test brief answer: hi, what is the reason for getting the investigations? detailed answer: hi, thanks for posting the query, may i know which investigations were done to give the xxxxxxx score for your heart? do you have any previous illness like diabetes and hypertension? do you take any medicines?... grace, i would have it checked out if i were you. the least would be a physical examination and a chest x-ray. good luck. rumourmongering notwithstanding, the answer is i don't know. 

i don't know how sophisticated the nhl's testing protocols are, and with the iihf opposed to the wada protocols of athletes having to provide their whereabouts on a 365-day basis (the ioc wants this, and team sport federations iihf, fiba, and fifa are all opposed), there are, potentially, opportunities.

with washington's roster, they will have several members of their team likely playing in the olympics, which has tougher testing standards than the nhl (among other things, a lot of otc cold medication will register a positive test).

i'm not sure about steroids. other ped's like hgh and epo, which help with recovery...without knowing how sophisticated the testing is, it's hard to answer the question.

i'll say this- "if" (and without factual evidence i don't like accusing someone of something) nhlers were to be using ped's, i'd say things like epo and hgh are the most likely options (given the rigours of their season and the marathon that is the playoffs). the league can, and should, test players throughout the season, including the playoffs.

with that being said...it's a joke what north american sports leagues punish drug cheats for when you compare the penalties outside of north america. roughly a suspension of 1/4 of a season in north america, while team sports (rugby, soccer) have 1-2 year bans for a first time offence. if the nfl, nba, mlb, and nhl were to be serious, a 2-year ban for a positive test would indicate a level of seriousness. lily<br><br>thank you for visiting health24.com.<br><br>i recommend that you make an appointment with a cardiologist, to rule ischemic heart disease. you should also have a chest x-ray, a mammogram and an ultrasound of your breast done, to exclude any underlying causes.<br><br>kind regards<br><br><br><br><br>dr anrich burger 我會盡力若有誤請見諒

21.htn 心肌肥厚;心室擴張 A.Insomnia is no joke. Not getting sufficient [sleep](https://psychcentral.com/disorders/sleep/) at any age, but especially as a teen, is serious business. Sleep disorders can cause [depression](https://psychcentral.com/disorders/depression/), [anxiety](https://psychcentral.com/disorders/anxiety/), diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. According to a poll done in 2005 by Sleep in America, people who were diagnosed with depression or anxiety were more likely to sleep less than six hours at night. A study done in 2007 showed that people with insomnia are 5 times as likely to be depressed as those who got sufficient sleep. At your age “sufficient” means 8 – 9 hours a night.

I urge you to go back to your medical doctor for more tests. I’m alarmed that you were drinking enough but not staying hydrated. There’s more to that than sleep deprivation. I’m also alarmed that apparently you were given a “diagnosis” but not then given a treatment plan to regulate your sleep.

If your primary care physician isn’t able to help you, get a referral to a sleep medicine clinic for a sleep study. Such clinics do a thorough evaluation of how much sleep a person gets and how often and for how long the person is awake. You may be sent home with a monitor to wear. More likely, you will be asked to spend the night at the clinic where they will monitor you throughout the night. You will sleep in a comfortable room in a comfortable bed. You can usually even bring your own pajamas.

Don’t be scared. A sleep study isn’t painful. Doctors or technicians will monitor you while you sleep. Little disks called electrodes will be temporarily glued to your head and attached to an EEG (*electroencephalogram*) machine. This will monitor the electrical impulses in your brain while you sleep and will show the technician how you are moving through the stages of sleep. It will measure possible interruptions in the pattern of your sleep. The technicians will also measure things such as eye movements, oxygen levels in your blood, heart and breathing rates, who much you snore, and how your body moves as you sleep.

The data from your sleep study will be evaluated by your doctor. You will then have a follow up appointment with your doctor to discuss the results and what may need to be done to help you have more regular and restorative sleep.

Please share this response with your parents. I don’t think you are lying or faking. I think you have an untreated medical condition that left untreated will only make things worse.

I wish you well.

Dr. Marie

 

How Do I Get my Parents to Believe I’m Depressed? i am 26 years old and have the same problems, i have had all the testing, let me know what you hear.thanks! intrauterine insemination (iui) procedures are performed at 24 to 36 hours after hcg trigger shots are given with ovary stimulation medication. patients diagnosed with unexplained infertility may benefit from earlier iui procedures, which helps in increasing their fertility levels during ovulation with gonadotropins. Cholesterol is related to thyroid function with low thyroid function hypothyroidism giving high cholesterol and those with hyperfunction hyperthyrodism giving lowed cholesterol values.   

The TSH is elevated and abnormal indicating that free T4 and free T3 should be measured and if abnormally low and symptoms suggestive of hypothyroidism present then meds can be started. If they are still normal then the condition is called subclinical hypothyroidism.   

  

As to the bilirubin, I would repeat the bilirubin in a non-fasting state. Some people with Gilberts syndrome have elevations in total bilirubin and normal direct bilirubins upon fasting which aggravated the total bilirubin. I would also look at your CBC closely for indications of a hemolytic anemia which would also account for indirect bilirubinemia (total bilirubin) such as what happens with certain medications or conditions.   

  

The AST/ALT, you don't give the upper limit of normal and so generally the values are referenced with regards to how how many times normal they are out. Those are low level abnormalities that can be due to many causes including medications, alcohol, fatty liver, chronic hepatitis and other possibilities. Low levels are usually repeated several weeks later to see if they are still there after looking at things that may contribute to the liver elevations.   

  

All of this must be taken within a clinical context. That means that lab values can be be understood without a valid clinical history and physical. You state known and so the comments above are general in nature and would defer to the doctor for a clearer picture and understanding pertaining to your case.
