ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello. I have low iron levels but the tablets that I am on are horrible so havnt been taking them. Last night I was really breathless before I went to bed. I woke up at 4.30 in the morning not being able to breathe properly. My chest was sore. My pulse as i woke up was 116bpm. Will this be related? | Hello, Thank you for contacting ChatDoctorI understand your concern, I am Chat Doctor, Infectious Disease Specialist answering your query. No iron therapy never causes such a problem. In fact when you have low hemoglobin such problems may happen. So breathlessness is because of severe anemia. I advise you to continue your therapy with iron. Iron therapy takes long time to get its effect. So please continue the medication. Take the medication till your hemoglobin sets to normal level plus three months. This extra three months will replenish your storage of iron. You can ask for further queries here on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious Disease specialist wish you the best health at Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,My father is out of coma and on regular physiotherapy. However, we have a major concern now with frequent drop in his sodium level. Every five to six days his sodium level drops to 110-120. When that happens, his consciousness level goes down and stops body movement or response. He is given injection Sodium chloride 3% isotonic solution with Fludrocortisone one tablet per day. It takes about five to six days for his sodium level to improve around 130. When he starts responding, he opens his eyes and moves body parts. We have seen this three to four times since last one and a half months. Eight days back, his sodium level went down to 109 and currently it is 121, but he has not shown much of body movement yet. Normally, he recovers within five to six days. Please suggest what has to be done for faster recovery? What has to be done to prevent this happening again and again? I have listed the medicines he is taking currently. Initially Tolvaptan is given for 10 days (currently stopped). Fludrocortisone 10 g extra salt per day with liquid food, tablet Ofloxacin 200 mg, capsule or tablet Phenytoin sodium 100 mg, tablet vitamin B complex, tablet Losartan potassium 50 mg, tablet Metoprolol 50 mg and tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a sharp pain in the middle of my chest more towards the left side though... Right above my heart... I smoke and do cough alot!!! But today when i woke up i coughed and the pain was almost unbearable!!! When i cough it hurts really bad and then the pain lingers for a few seconds afterward i was wondering whats wrong with me and what should i do? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sharp chest pain on coughing is commonly seen in pleurisy (inflammation of pleura). Common causes for pleurisy are infection, bronchitis etc. And both of these are common in smokers. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. In any case smoking cessation is must. If all reports are normal than take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. But first rule out smoking related causes and quit smoking. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

The bruise is gone now, but it still feels sore after eg typing a lot and it hurts a bit when I put pressure on it. Is that to be expected or should I be concerned that it is not healing properly? | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you have a sprained wrist these symptoms are common post the injury.

Should I be concerned? | Hi, welcome to our site. I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your queries, you need to be concerned. Bees, pollen and their related compounds (including honey) are potential allergens. Anyone susceptible to allergies can easily develop allergy to a known allergy. I am assuming you have allergies. Therefore, you tried that bee pollen. So there is a possibility that you are being allergic to the compound you ingested. You may try normal antiallergics. Better meet a doctor though hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other, so I can be of help further. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you. Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

I want to extract my tooth but im scared if these will have a bad effects to my baby. What should i do for these uncomfortable toothache? | Hello, A severe toothache brings up the concern of an infection. You need to treat an infection. Please check with your BEGAN physician and update your doctor on this condition. Any complications with your pregnancy or allergies may affect your choice of dental treatment. This needs to be discussed with your treating dentist and your dentist would be glad to discuss any findings with your doctor. Minimal treatment would be to numb the tooth without epinephrine, establish Chat Doctor. An abscessed tooth could then be treated with a poor canal or extraction at a later date. Medications for painful and symptomatic infections usually include Amoxicillin and pain or anti-inflammatory medications. Tylenol is usually ok with BEGAN doctors. Amoxicillin is prescription and should be discussed. I advise my patients to limit dental treatment and if needed try to do treatment during the middle trimester. Routine cleanings are advised to reduce inflamed gums. Dealing with an infection is a stress on your pregnancy and needs to be treated. X-rays give information about your tooth not seen with a clinical exam. This is a personal choice you will need to make about being exposed to a small amount of radiation while pregnant. I suggest an exam with a dentist to get a proper diagnosis and determine a safe treatment option. I wish you luck on your pregnancy. You need plenty of rest and to maintain a healthy diet for yourself as well as your baby. |

I have been taking my antibiotics but i am having headaches, lower backache and also now my thigh feels like i have a huge bruise but there is nothing there. Please help! | During UTI It's common to have fever due to infection in body. When ever there is infection the bodies immune system fights against them, and it responds as increased in body temperature. But along with this due to fever patient will have generalised body weakness and will have more pain for the muscles which are already weak. In your case it may be spinal muscle which are week and so that patient is having back pain. Along with this pain if patient also have disc related issue at lumbar spine then he will also have symptoms at thigh level with radiating pain or increased sensitivity in thigh muscles. Here I suggest you nothing to worry just finish your antibiotic medication course for UTI and then check, most probably all symptoms will go away, and later you should do spinal strengthening exercises. But if still back pain and increased sensitivity at thigh level continue then consult orthopedic and take MRI of your back to rule out issues with lumbar level.

Does this bulging get worse as you age and how can you stop it from getting worse | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that swimming does not usually worsen this clinical situation. Correcting your posture is the best way to stop the progression of this disorder. You should avoid weight lifting and straining physical activity. A cervical collar can help for the pain time after time. But, as this condition is progressive and can cause gait difficulty and pain in the future, it is necessary to periodically follow up with cervical MRI and consult with your neurologist or spinal surgeon. Surgery would be the only way to definitely solve the problem. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing all the best, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I had a filling 2 days ago. That night, I was in a lot of pain so I took ibuprofen . My cheek was swollen and the nest day I noticed a bruise . I kept ice on it most of the afternoon an evening, but didn t see a change. This morning, I woke up feeling like my throat was swollen. It is difficult to swallow , kind of like I m getting a sore throat (but it doesn t hurt). I called the dentist 1st thing this morning, the receptionist said that she d have someone call me (still waiting). Any advise? | Hi, Thank you for the query. Pain in the teeth immediately after filling the cavity may be because of the infection in the teeth. If there is periapical infection in the teeth it will lead to abscess formation followed by swelling in the cheek or gum. As you said you have placed ice on the area all through the day, this will aggregate the swelling and lead to throat swelling as well. It appears you have developed sore throat along with it. I would suggest you to see your dentist as early as possible, get an x-ray done to rule out the extent of infection in the teeth and surrounding the teeth. A course of antibiotics and analgesic should be taken. Hope this information helps you. Take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,The patient is suffering from acute heartache. According to the reports, he is reported with complete LBBB and coronary artery disease. Right now patient age is 80 years and most of the doctors recommend for bypass surgery. Is there any other alternative to provide immediate relief to the patient? There is suffocation, gasteric choking, and acute heart pain experienced by the patient and under SAAOL therapy. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Angiogram pictures of the patient show disease in all three vessels and also left main vessel 30 % (attachment removed to protect patient identity). If the left main would not be having the disease, we could have thought of angioplasty of vessel of recent attack (infarct-related artery). With his age, bypass surgery is risky but if his echo is showing good heart function then you can take a risk. Also, medications (proper intake) can also make the patient survive without symptoms if the echocardiogram is good. For more information consult a cardiologist online |

Multiple myeloma is tumor affecting bone marrow. So it is rapidly spreading and very notorious in course. Usually it is responding to the chemotherapy. And pain in bones are treated by local radiotherapy. Surgery is not indicated as most of the time, at the time of detection IIT is already metmetastatize to distal organs.

Basically i don't understand the meaning of having tension in the sciatic nerve? As it's not a symptom as such. Also, you have not mentioned the type of surgery that you underwent. If microlumbar discectomy has been done for you, all sorts of activities can be done after 3 weeks of surgery. In case of open discectomy, physiotherapy is to be done for the back muscles initially, and regular activities are allowed after 2 months. Hope this helps |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Im 36 weeks & 4 days pregnant for the past 2 days Ive been losing brown mucus discharge, its more dark brown/ black today, I went hospital last night & they checked baby & sent me home again, shall I go again as its a lot darker today Would be grateful for your answer | Hallow Dear, Brown vaginal bleeding is old bleeding which remains inside for few days and then comes out. When it is of substantial amount, we suspect risk to the life of the baby. However, the bleeding was trivial and after such bleeding, you have been examined in the hospital and sent home with assurance. So no need to worry about the baby. It is likely that the mouth of the uterus (cervix) has started preparing for the delivery by getting gradually merged into the uterine walls. This process known as effacement of the cervix causes dislodgement of the mucous plug in the cervical canal with some bleeding. When such blood stained mucous come out immediately, it is red, however if it remains inside the vagina (due to very little amount or position) or cervix, the blood and thus the discharge becomes brown. However, 36 weeks is too early for starting labor process. So I would advise you to have complete rest in the house in a view to postpone the starting of labor pains as far as possible, at least for one week more. It would be good practice to monitor the well-being of the baby by listening to heart sounds (if you can do that) and/or counting the movements of the baby by clock. In left side position lying, in two hours, 10 movements are perceivable. If you note fetal movements getting affected, please report to the Obstetrician ASAP. I hope this helps you. |

I can understand your concern. PVC (premature ventricular contractions) is not a problem if patient is asymptomatic. But in your case, you are having left sided chest pain which is intermittent. So we should not neglect PVC s in your case. So better to consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG).

Most likely you are having it along with infection. What are the findings of urine routine and culture tests. The cortical thinning and scarring you mentioned is due to Chronic Pyelonephritis which is a result of persistent or recurrent infection of urinary tract and results in gradual damage to kidneys function.

She was 93 but was very much mobile lived in her iwn home. Apart from hypertention which never caused her bother we thought she would see 100 for sure. | Hi, Welcome. This is Chat Doctor. Acute MI(heart attack) is a fatal condition & in maximum cases is life-threatening if medical attention is not sought early. These risks are more with increasing age. Hypertension is one of the causes of MI. So if her heart has stopped for some time before reaching the hospital there is not much the doctors could have done. So try to reach the hospital as soon as you can and keep yourself evaluated for future risks of any heart attack. Come back if you need any more help. Thanks |

This was followed by a thoracic, abdominal and pelvic MRI which detected no other abnormal growths. I completed a 2 year regimen of prednisone to control Hortons disease and feel that this was the causal factor for this growth. I finally weaned off the prednisone in August of this year. By utilizing some of the protocols of Drs Nicholas Gonzalez and James Forsythe I was able to stop the bleeding, but at a friends birthday party this past weekend I consumed about 2 ounces of champagne and the bleeding resumed with a vengeance. I am seeking an integrative oncologist in southern France. Can you recommend one? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, I will take an opportunity to give an opinion regarding your problem. Was the polyp removed from your bladder? If yes, was it examined microscopically? Hematuria is caused by different causes like disorders of kidney, bladder stones and growths in the bladder. Cystoscopically, a polyp is detected in the bladder. This polyp could be benign or could be malignant. This polyp needs to be removed and sent to a pathologist for microscopically examination. If no malignancy is detected no further treatment is required. If malignancy is present, surgery and/OE chemotherapy is required. So, first you need to consult a surgeon for removal of the polyp.

I am pretty sure the dentist scratched my gums which is how this all starte. So what am iI dealing with? | Hit start with wisdom tooth pain experiences are variable. Most cases come up with excitation pain WRT to the gums covering the wisdom tooth partially, with food debris and infection cumulating over that area. This may get eased off if the gums are cleaned but may reoccur after a certain time gap. The treatment modality in such a case is either extraction of the tooth involved or operculectomy(removal of the gum tissue covering the tooth partially) if it has erupted some bit more.a minor scratch from your doctor cannot cause a huge bump also the same condition that you have mentioned had arisen in your lower gum as well.

Based on the facts that you have described the painless lump since last 2 years that your boyfriend has is a Sebaceous Cyst over scrotum. The scrotal skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin. Normally it fades away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected. Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

She said it was due to brushing hard and asked me to switch to a soft bristle toothbrush and sensodyne toothpaste. I am also awaiting some fillings. I already have a temporary filling which as fallen out and the hole seems to be too big. Please advice. | Hello. Use warm saline gargling daily at least 2 or 3 times, for two weeks. This will help in reducing the inflammation and help in preventing further recession of gum line. Also if you can get Betadine gargle for rinsing then it would be much better, this would be of great help in case of severe periodontitis (gum inflammation and receding gums). Use sensodyne toothbrush (as suggested by your treating dentist) which have very soft bristles in an upward and downward motion only. Do not scrub the toothbrush over gingiva (gums) as it may cause further recession of the gum line. If the recession is severe then it may require flap surgery, still, the receded gingiva can never be brought back but a further recession can be avoided. You need to get that filling done as early as possible or it may result in infection of the tooth root. The receding gums might be due to:1. Faulty brushing habit.2. Calculus deposition.3. Poor oral hygiene. Intraoral x-ray of the affected area. Use of saline gargle, betadine gargle, flap surgery and antibiotics if required. Follow proper brushing technique with soft toothbrush. |

Kindly suggest me ... | Hi there let me try to clear some points regarding acne and pregnancy. Acne can be cleared or get worse in pregnancy, so there is a mixed approach. Secondly, generally as I can see in practice that acne get worse in the first few months of pregnancy but as the pregnancy proceeds it get better may be due to hormonal changes. Now if your cream has got Clindamycin then I would say you can apply. But I would also recommend the following1:Benzoyl or Atelier acid creams preferebly2:DO NOT apply any creams that contains retinoids or salicylic acids. Thanks very much and all the best. |

I have tried cortisone cream 1% which helped then stopped lamisil did nothing i am planning on seeing a doc next week i have had this for over a year. What can take this away forever | Hello, Since you are suffering from inflammation of the glans for a year, you should get it treated. Visit ER, get it physically examined. It needs to be evaluated whether it is Atlantis or Mitosis. You may need to do a swab test from the glans, Urinalysis, Blood sugar(R). If the inflammation & discomfort is due to infection, it can be cured with oral antibiotics. Topical antibiotic creams to be applied in the area affected. It may occur due to STD, get all tests done to rule out STI. You may need antibiotics & antivirals. Avoid sex & stay away from multiple partners; always perform safe sex. If left untreated it may complicate. If Mitosis is detected you will have to get circumcision done to get a permanent cure. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi. I ve been in and out of my doctors office 9 times in the last 3 months. The majority of it was every 2 weeks over a 6 week period. Every time he said it was allergies. Gave me an antibiotic and steriod shot along with Rx. This week, I have developed back pain which is keeping me from sleeping. (I also have a 23 month old who doesn t sleep through the night). Every time I go in, he takes my blood and says my WBC is high. (The passed few times he didn t know what was wrong with me. Just that my counts were high and it s a sign of infection). Yesterday I went in with feeling exhausted, back pain, and naucious. He just said I had an infection somewhere and gave me more antibiotics. Then this morning, I woke up with a coldness in my chest. My lungs hurt. And the back pain is significantly worse. Could this be pneumonia? Should I go to an internist instead of a gp? | Hi, Yes,it could be because of pneumonia, bronchitis(allergic or infective), pertussis, seasonal asthma etc. You may undergo routine blood count, ESR with X-ray chest and pulmonary function test. You might require antibiotics (quinolones or accolades or amoxicillin with clavulanic acid) with cough suppressants (antiallergic antihistamines or mast cell stabilizers) and anti-inflammatories or analgesics on as and when required basis. You must consult your pulmonologist instead of general practitioner to get diagnosed first and then treatment. Thanks. |

I was wondering if I could take 1mg of xanax to help me get to sleep as I am having unrelated anxiety. I just wanted to make sure they don t interact, please help. | Hi, thanks for the query. Xanax (alprazolam) is a powerful anxiolytic & sleep inducer (hypnotic). Hence, It's useful in short term for a good sleep. But it is rapidly addiction forming & hence difficult to wean off in intermediate/long term. Hence, if you can tell your exact nature of sleep problems & anxiety symptoms; we can formulate a treatment plan accordingly. You can practice good sleep measures which are; doing daily 30 minutes physical exercise; fixed time of going to bed & getting up; avoiding day time naps; avoiding coffee/cigarettes after 7pm; using bed only for sleep & sex (nothing else). Also, there are many novel Chat Doctor. Other medications like mirtazapine, trazodone etc. are also very useful. Hence, consult your Psychiatrist today for sleep problems. Good luck |

Infection is another possibility as are the simple muscle twitching precipitated by electrolyte imbalances. Please take the advice of a physician if you cannot get over the feeling in a week.

Most of the time I would just be able to feel something moving in my bowels, Im sure you all know that feeling. | Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to eat from outside if you do as intestinal infection could creep in from outside. If yes, it could be the feature of meiosis, a common infection for those who eat from outside, which is never so hygienic. I would advise you to go for a routine stool test for ova and cyst and get it treated which would relieve your symptoms.

Now there is a little lump there. This has happened a few times over the years and it goes away but I was wondering what it was and how do I stop it from occurring? I don t smoke or drink, and have not been on any antibiotics recently. Thanks | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lump under tongue. The symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like squamous Papilloma, glossies or transient Lingual Capsulitis. It seems to me that the lumps occur due to enlargement of papillae, which occur due to various reasons like traumatic injury, hot and acidic food and allergic reaction from certain food like nuts and seafoods. I would suggest you to consult oral pathologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine carefully to rule out certain conditions mention above.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi,I had a miscarriage(blighted ovum) about 3 weeks ago. My cramping only lasted about 3 days and my bleeding lasted for a week. I havent seen any bleeding since then but this past week Ive been experiencing pressure in my lower abdomen and pregnancy symptoms. Should I be concerned?? | Hallow Dear, I hope the diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography. I am not sure whether your termination of pregnancy happened naturally or you had to have surgical/medical intervention. If it was natural termination, there is a possibility that some parts of products could have remained inside the uterus causing infection and giving you the current feeling. Ultrasonography can help you to diagnose this. If so, evacuation of the uterus under antibiotic umbrella will help you. The possibility of mistaken diagnosis of blighted ovum and growing pregnancy has to be ruled out. The other possibility is the growth of chorionic tissue tumors - either molar pregnancy or choriocarcimnoma. Former will need surgical evacuation while the later can be definitely treated and cured completely by medicines. Please get your pregnancy test and/or Chat Doctor levels done. High Chat Doctor levels indicate these conditions. Along with pregnancy test, ultrasonography will help to clinch the diagnosis. Considering your pregnancy symptoms, I strongly feel, you should get urine tested for pregnancy initially, followed by Chat Doctor levels if indicated. Also get urine examination done to find out any evidence of infection. If found, will have to be treated by appropriate antibiotics. Please report to your Obstetrician for all this work up and the required treatment. Take care please, |

Can you advise please? HOLY HAMBURGER! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU GET NOTHING FOR FREE. NO THANKS! | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) mostly. Your symptoms like stabbing pain in chest, ballooning feeling in chest with water movements etc. are seen in HERD. It is due to hyperacidity and gaseous distension due to HERD.HERD is because of laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Due to this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophageal, and cause the stabbing pain. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid stress and anxiety. Avoid large meals.2. Take proton pump inhibitor.3. Avoid smoking and alcohol if you are taking.4. Lose weight if you are obese. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I noticed a skin tag on the lining of my cheek on the left side. I only noticed it because I bit my jaw and decided to take a look at it. I have never seen anything like this before and I do not have a history of any type of oral abnormalities. Could you help by identifying what exactly this is? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Do not worry, since you do not have a history of any oral abnormalities, then it is probably just a line of edematous tissue, developed due to chronic physiological irritation of the Buccal Mucosa rubbing on the line of causal contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth, called the "Line Alba", which is completely physiological, and no treatment is required for the same. However, if you have a chronic habit of biting on your cheek, then it is a lesion called "Fornication Fulcrum", (commonly known as "Chronic Cheek Biting"), which has, though very rarely, still been sometimes reported to be a pre-malignant lesion also, so you need to be careful. Consult a good dentist, who will tell yo the proper treatment. Surgical excision of the white tissue tag may be a good option, but in case there is less space between your cheeks and teeth, then there is still going to be more irritation of the wound by the teeth, which will delay healing and can still cause an oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma, so, not going for any surgical treatment, and just using a proper Oral screen would be a better idea. Also, in case you are over-weight with puffy cheeks, then shedding-off the extra pounds will also help, as when the "Buccal pad of fat" lessens, it will then increase the area between your teeth and buccal mucosa (cheek mucosa), eliminating the impingement of your buccal mucosa on to your teeth. Wish you all the best. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi. I am 16 years old and my knee has been hurting since i was about 12 years old. Back then it was only hurting when it was touched, then it started just aching whenever i bent it, which started half a year ago. Then just this morning, i was walking around my house, and it just started hurting whenever i put weight on it. I am scared to do physical activity because i think i might injure it. I am 6 foot one inch and still growing, so could it just be my body getting used to my height as i am growing, or is it something serious i should be concerned about. I am very athletic, and do 3 sports, so my knee is very important to me. please write back | Hi, As mentioned in the history you are into sports sometimes did you develop any injury of the knee in any of the sports? Because if any injury occurred it needs to physically examined and an MRI knee is suggested to see if any soft tissue injury is happening. For time being, until you meet up and orthopedist or take a call for MRI I would suggest you try knee muscle strengthening exercises and also reverse walking. Focus the exercises more over the knee muscles. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I am a 39-year-old female. I am fatigued, sluggish, difficulty concentrating, migraines, and difficulty regulating temperature. I have periodic tightness in the chest and fluttering sensation. My EKG, CT chest, and chest x-ray are normal and the COVID test is negative.My Vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin D were low. I started supplements last month and levels are in normal range now, but I still have symptoms. Borderline low white count, ABS lymphocyte count, and slightly high platelets. I was diagnosed with lupus as a teenager but then in the early 20\s I was told that I do not have it. My father died at the age of 59 of a sudden catastrophic event, possibly a heart attack. Also my D-dimer was slightly elevated and so was my sedimentation rate.I have a history of cancer in the family, especially breast cancer. So, I am more concerned about cancer. I am currently on \x80\xa8Lamictal, Lexapro, and birth control pill. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Your reports are normal nothing seems worrisome (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Since you have a family history of breast cancer, you should get a mammogram done. Also get your BRCA gene (breast cancer gene) tests done. It is a blood test and if it is positive then it means high chances of getting cancer in the future. If it is negative, it is good. Also, you should take supplements and should stop birth control pills, they can also cause cancer sometimes. You should use a mechanical method of contraception like condoms, and should do regular exercises to reduce your weight too. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I know that I have a hernia near my incision site from previous abdominal surgery. It is a bubble. Today as I stood up if felt like it popped and now I have lots of pressure around the bubble and feel very bloated. The only way to describe the feeling is tightness in the area and some shortness of breath. What could be causing this? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. You are mostly having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) due to incisional hernia. This makes gastroesophageal sphincter lax. And because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause gaseous feeling, bloating, chest tightness, pressure etc. Gaseous distention of stomach can prevent lungs to expand fully. So patient feels breathing difficulty. Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Start proton pump inhibitors. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. If you are still not improving after these lifestyle modifications then you need surgical correction for incisional hernia. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | i hav been having dry cracked lips,a sore tongue,difficulty eating or swolling,extreme fatigue,feels as well as a sore throat,either stuffy nose or runny nose,ive juss recently recovered from an absess tooth as well,i take 6 different medications and on the evra patch. | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The cracked lips and sore tongue could be because of the anemic dermatitis. Or it can be because of the herpes infection or recurrent authors ulcers over the tongue. Consult an oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out the above-mentioned conditions. You need to get a blood investigation done to rule out anemia. You have to take nutritional supplements for anemia. Consume a lot of green leafy vegetables and fruits. You can also take topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel for the pain. Apply lip balm or Vaseline over the lip. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

We don t have money to join in de addiction centre . Please give us an solution .we were suffering as hell . | Hi, Anxiety can get better provided the doses of the medications are taken exactly as prescribed. Alcohol and addictions of any kind are to be avoided. If the patient is not taking medications as suggested, CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral therapy) is recommended. This therapy helps to change thinking and behavioral patterns towards the better. Improvements can be seen in 12-16 weeks, when the patient learns self-control. Exposure therapy reduces fear and anxiety. RTC (Residential treatment center) effectively reduces substance abuse and other behavior problems. Alternative treatments are also available like stress and relaxation techniques. You can also consult a Psychiatrist, Counselor or Therapist. Hope I have answered your query.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have asthma. I was diagnosed in 1996. I have coughing fits at times. I dont cough so much laying down if I have a fan on me, more so without a fan. I am around a friend who smokes (I do not smoke). Hear Failure came up once from a friend, but some of the symptoms fit and others just seem like normal asthma. Im 31 yrs old (32 soon), 52, and roughly around 205 lbs.. I am a type 1 hypertension candidate. I am over weight, but Im working on losing it. I guess my question is, if I lay down, flat on my back with the fan and Im not coughing or not coughing much (as apposed to without the fan on), is this just my asthma? | You need to know that there is an entity called Passive smoking. And you need proper evaluation as per the available scientific data, it is clear that, it is not just who smoke gets diseases but the person next to him also suffers the same. So seek a chest physician or an allergist opinion and get a spirometry done. And get rid of this. And may be the fan is pushing out smoke, then it entering into your nostrils and lungs. So when fan is off you tend to inhale the passive smoke fully into your lungs hence you get this typical smokers cough. |

Thanks for your query. I understand that you are concerned about your sisters psychological problems. I have gone through the description of her symptoms in detail and my opinion is that she is likely to be suffering from an psychiatric disorder called OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD). However, a detailed history and psychological assessment is necessary to confirm this diagnosis.Don't worry, there are effective treatment options for OCD - in the form of medication and psychotherapy, which will help her overcome these problems. Usually medication called SSRIs are used as first-line treatment for this disorder. So, I would advise you to take her to a psychiatrist for further evaluation and treatment. Wish you all the best. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had a fall in January . Tore my ACL and meniscus and sprained my LCL. I have a bone spur. MRI showed bursitis and osteoarthritis. I had no pain in my knee or difficulty walking prior to fall. I am 67 years old. I also have a complete rupture of the rotator cuff, from the fall. I have pain in my arm and knee. A muscle in my thigh has been numb since the fall. The numb area is about 3 inches wide and 6 inches long. The top of my knee cap is also numb. Last night I found a lump the size of a pea in my knee. It moves around. What could this be? | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you are 67, there is a possibility of degenerative changes in the knee joint leading to wear and tear of the soft tissues and bone. Also, due to ACL injury, meniscus injury, and LCL injury you may face pain and difficulty in walking. Also, due to fall there might be pinching of lumbar nerve leading to sensory deficits in the lower limbs. Rotator cuff injury also needs an attention. As per you symptoms and other things I will advise you to undergo physical therapy and by this the pain can be reduced and so the inflammation. Post this rehabilitation of the knee and shoulder is advised followed by the Strengthening of the spinal Muscles. Most cases in my clinical practice responds well to physical therapy. As an important note, that ACL and menisci injury are graded according to the physiological discontinuity and the treatment is planned accordingly. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor. |

We never smoke and drink. our medical history is normal. We are planing to have first baby. I want to know will there any complication due to age and our blood group mismatch? Do we need to consult some docto for this? I am not sure of the precaution and planning for the pre-preganancy. Please suggest the things (Diet,medicine etc) we have to follow for pre-preganancy phase. Thanks, Pawan | Hi, I don't seem to think there is an age mismatch 33 and 29 years are perfectly normal age to consider having child Chat Doctor. Blood group of AB negative needs attention. Your wife will require anti D injections at 28 weeks of pregnancy and after delivery. Also, if she has certain complications during pregnancy she may require anti D. Rhesus negative pregnancy usually do not cause a problem in first pregnancy, but if anti D is not considered and given in first pregnancy it can cause problem in the next pregnancy. In the pre-pregnancy, she should have healthy diet and lifestyle and also take Folic acid 400 micrograms daily till she gets pregnant and continue it till 12 weeks of pregnancy. She should inform her treating gynecologist about her negative blood group. Hope this helps. Regards. |

Put your feet in a bucket of warm water with salt and sit for half an hour daily. It will sooth down the pain and swelling. Please do the same exercises of the knees and legs so that the circulation does not stop. Take Shelcal 500 daily and Vitamin B12 also for boosting up the immunity. |
