ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am a 40 year old female that has been experiencing high abdominal pains regularly for the past 14 years...since the birth of my first child. It began occasionally where the pains would present early in the morning around 4 and last for approximately 5-10 minutes. I would have them for a week or so and then they would go away for a few weeks. After several times I went to my doctor and was prescribed nexium. This did not resolve the issue. After a few years of the pains occuring more often I had an ultrasound and my gall bladder was removed. This pains intensified and began to occur much more often. Ive been told IBS, and sluggish colon and so on. My concern is that recently...and discovered by an allergist and now an immunologist that my liver enzymes are repeatedly coming back high...could the pain have been from the liver all this time? Also, the pain begins as a hunger pain and rapidly turns into intense pain that begins in the high front area but ends in the back.....so what is happening to the body when it experiences a hunger pain? And the pain only occurs now at 5-6 in the morning and again by 9-10 if I dont eat a breakfast. | Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor. Forum. You have got abdominal pain, since 14 years starting at 4 am lasts for 10 minutes. Occurring for few days and a gap of some days. Started after the birth of your 1st child. You have used medium, got gall bladder removed, but pain is increasing and of hunger with more frequency. It also thought as I.B.S., and increased liver enzymes. At first your pain could be due to reflux of urine into kidney due to retention, and relieved by voiding urine. Liver enzymes increase, hunger type of pains, may be due secondary to gallbladder removal. (seen in some people only.) I advise you to avoid spices, junk foods, and oily foods to avoid irritation to the stomach, and kidney. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Best wishes. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi there. My boyfriend and I have been trying to concieve for over a year but no luck so far. For the past few months I have been getting pains in where Id imagine my ovaries are. Usually the left side is more painful/uncomfortable. It feels like theres an air bubble that wont pop and kind of a dull ache. Im so worried about what it might be. I think I have pcos but havent been diagnosed as yet. Im at the doctor on Tuesday to talk about it. What does the pain in my ovaries sound like it could be? | **1. As you have not been examined or undergone any investigations thus causes will be directed towards "pain in ovary AREA". [ovarian cyst, Endometriosis]2. Because symptom(s) are persisting from 1 year, thus chronic pain is established.3. Your General Practitioner will diagnose ovarian pain depending on the suspected cause. Your GP will take your medical history, carry out a physical examination [pelvic], investigations [ultrasound, blood test, hormonal profile] and ask relevant questions about the pain.PS: although ovary is located in this region, so are other organs, such as bowels, so IBS [irritable bowel syn Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Im female,41 years old. I have HPV Type 16 with mild dysplasia in cervix. im having follow ups pap smears to prevent cervical cancer. But I know also that HPV can cause anal & oral cancers & there are no follow up tests for these in my country. Ive been with y husband for 17 years & faithfull & we dont have anal or oral sex? Is there anything else I can do to prevent these cancers? How big is the possibility to get them because of HPV 16? | Hi, Thanks for writing in.HPV infection is common in women. It might happen even in those with a single partner though multiple partners increase the chances of infection. Prevention of cancer is best by getting screening tests done and recognizing symptoms. If you have HPV 16 infection then getting annual pap smear is recommended, and I hope you are doing it regularly especially because of mild dysplasia in cervix. The possibility is small and not something that should be disturbing your piece of mind. Oral, vaginal, vulval and anal cancers are seen apart from cancer cervix which is the commonest condition among cancers present in women with HPV infection. Please take note of any oral or anal symptoms like non-healing ulcers, wounds in oral cavity and skin tags in the anal region. Please do not worry. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I walked into iron post in target store and it hit my cheekbone and split my eyelid on the side--did not blackout had bleeding from split --it stopped --I drove home--had a neighbor butterfly split a lilies less than half inc no headache until today 3rd day is this to expected? | Hello, I can understand your concern. As the bleeding has stopped and no other discomfort is there except some pain and swelling, you can give it some time to heal. Having some pain and swelling is common after injury to any facial site. As face has high blood supply, the bleeding and swelling always looks severer than the injury itself. You can do ice compressions over the area and keep pain in control by painkillers and wait for some days for the injury site to heal. However, if the pain or swelling worsens, you develop fever or other discomfort, a physician should be consulted as these are sings of infection in the injury site. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish you feel better soon. Best, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I m a 63 yr. old female gastric bypass /roux-en-y Aug. 2013. Been on Losartan Potassium 100mg. qd for awhile now, put on Bystolic 5 mg. maybe 6 mos. before surgery both meds are taken q AM I m having periods of funny strange drifting feelings lasting approx. 30 sec. pulse rate regular running 55-61..BP 128/76. Could this be the two bp meds fighting each other, my BP is nothing as it was before the surgery (always elevated) Which med should I start to taper off of first? Weight has gone from 269 to 194. | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your blood pressure values and heart rate seem to be within the normal limits. Regarding your concern, I would explain that losartan and nebivolol both increase potassium levels in the blood. I recommend performing blood electrolytes levels, to monitor potassium levels and avoid any abnormal increase, which may lead to bradycardia. The decrease in your weight is another factor contributing in lowering your blood pressure. This is a good way to control your blood pressure. If your blood pressure gets lower, I recommend consulting with your doctor to consider the possibility of lowering systolic dose (which also contributes in a low heart rate). Hope to have been of help! Best regards, |

I am a 36 year old white male 57 153# . Only medical history is hypertension and divertiqulosis, with a family history of bone cancer in my sister who was dead 5 weeks after diagnosis. | Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. Read and reviewed your query and health concerns. You seem to suffer from-?TB of the lungs/ or Lymph glandsSecond opinion from Chest Specialist and Surgeon, to fix the differential diagnosis by proper investigation. All symptom complex with weight loss is characteristic of-TB infection. Blood IRA with Chest -X-ray would clinch the diagnosis. Other causes-need to be ruled out-as NHL / Or HL with hidden masses which could also present as Night sweats and low grade fever. PBS advised would fix the type of tumour-Lymphoma cells and would fix the cause. History of bone cancer in sister, makes possibility of NHL/HL to be ruled out by CT neck and CT abdomen along with PET studies after the physical check-ups by Physician. Lymph node biopsy along with this study would confirm the cause of the night sweats with weight loss in your case.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am a 45 yr old Female. My lab results show: testosterone serum level is at <3 , TSH is .0265,HDL-2 is low, VLDL-3 is high, LDL density pattern is B Abnormal, sodium and calcium are also low. Any concerns or suggestions? My doctor will not follow up and cannot be reached by phone. | VLDL is the main carrier of triglycerides, and in elevated levels, can lead to an increased risk factor for heart disease. The subfraction of VLDL known as VLDL3 is the densest form of VLDL and increases your risk for heart disease, blood clots and diabetes. Again LDL density pattern B increases the risk of atherosclerosis and subsequent heart disease. The protective role of total HDL against CAD is mainly mediated through HDL2 fraction, which in your case is low. Therefore your lipid profile results are abnormal, and consultation with a cardiologist is a must. |

Well I started bleeding today. last night I had jus a slight pinkness. Its not heavy it doesnt smell like my period. I dont know wut to do b/c I keep having negitive test results. So I guess I would like to know can I still be pregnant after all of this?Lady | Hi there, I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. 1) First do not panic. I can understand your dilemma .2) As your urine pregnancy test is negative, you can assume that you are not pregnant. Also, you have started some bleeding. You can clear your doubt by blood Chat Doctor test and USG test. Both the tests will solve the dilemma. 3) USG will also help to know about the cause of delay in periods such as PCs conditions of the ovary. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I am a 20 year old female. I have been having chest pains for about a week now and I am pretty scared about what is wrong. In addition to the chest pains I have been burping a lot weird because I usually don t burp at all, and my left arm down to my middle finger has pains sometimes. I m not sure if that is related because I do hair a lot so for years sometimes my hands cramp up. Also, some background, I have asthma and 2 weeks before this started my asthma had gotten so bad that I had developed bronchitis. The coughing had put a lot of stress on my chest as well but the pain had went away after I took some medication. Some more background is that I had gained around 40 pounds in the last 10 months from inactivity (I used to do sports for 6 years & then stopped). Lastly, I thought the chest pain was from me crying a lot because I had a traumatic event recently and the pain came right after and got worse everyday that I was crying really hard. Sorry it s such a long message but as you can see, I have a lot of factors playing right now so I m really all over the place in terms of finding out what is wrong with me. Thank you in advance! | Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion we should first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain. So get done ECG. If this is normal then no need to worry about cardiac cause. Uncontrolled asthma is the cause for your chest pain. And your burping can be due to HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). HERD can cause poor control of asthma. So In your case control of HERD and asthma is needed. So consult pulmonologist and start inhaled treatment for asthma and proton pump inhibitor for HERD. Once your asthma and HERD is control, your chest pain will also be subsided.Don't worry, you will be alright. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello Doctor. Last Saturday I went to the hospital because I discovered itchy white spots through my pubic hair area. Blood and urine tests were taken and both turned out normal (WBC & RBC, etc). I washed, and shaved the pubic area and it turns out I have multiple flat red spots in the pubic area (none on my penis or scrotum). They can become very itchy at times. The itchiness affect the pubic area and the bottom sides of the scrotum (in the groin). The spots have no white head nor do I see any puncture holes. I used KY Jelly earlier the same day, so is it possible that Im allergic to KY lubricant? TY | Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. It appears that you could be allergic to KY Jelly what you have used. It is better not to use it and switch to some other alternative in case you need to use so. Also, you could be having mild fungal infection as well along with the allergy. Kindly wash the area with mild antiseptic like Salon twice daily. Apply antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole on lesions after the area Chat Doctor. Also take tablet Cetirizine once a day to control itching. Gradually, your symptoms should subside, and you should be back to normal. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I took my blood pressure shortly after eating. It read 148 over 73 with a pulse of 63. I am a 51 year old female. Is it not good to have your blood pressure read after eating and is this a high reading? I havent had my reading in a year or so because usually it reads 118 over 78. | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that these values of blood pressure are above the normal ranges and may be indicative for possible arterial hypertension. It is not common to have high blood pressure after eating. I would recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x-ray study and some blood lab tests : - complete blood count-fasting glucose-kidney and liver function tests-blood electrolytes- thyroid hormone levels-cortisol plasma levels, etc. to exclude other possible secondary causes related to high blood pressure. You should closely monitor your blood pressure different times during the day (in sitting position, 15 minutes after total relax) and refer these values to your doctor. Some lifestyle modifications are helpful to reduce blood pressure: - a balanced diet (low salt and caffeine intake)- a lot of physical activity (walking 4 km per day is recommended)- lose weight if you are overweight. Hope to have been helpful! Best regards, |

Also getting worse feel shaky & jittery--thought I had diabetes. Canyou tell me what I have? | Hi. Thanks for the query. It looks like you have injured your jaw joint as you said that you have fallen on your right TMJ. It can cause jaw joint dislocation, damage to the soft cushion that is present between the two bony ends of the jaw joint, fractures etc. Feeling shaky or jittery can be due to anxiety or panic attacks however it can also be related to other causes for which you need to get thoroughly examined. For jaw joint related problem it would be better for you to consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated. A Panoramic x-ray should be done for ruling out the exact cause. For now, you can take painkillers LF there is pain and along with it take soft diet and avoid hard foods. Avoid excessive mouth opening like during yawning, laughing etc. Hope this helps. Regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I ve revently started on Addrrall XR for ADHD and just today a new problem has arisen where I feel a slightly painful pressure right under where my ribcage meets, like my diaphragm. It isn t too painful but is uncomfortable and feels less intense when I breathe in but more so when I exhale. What could this be? | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the given description, it may not be possible to diagnose properly. But you do have ADD. Anxiety and allied problems are part of ADD. The pain you are mentioning could possibly be due to anxiety. Gastric reflux pressure on the diaphragm could have made you to handle that area with your fingers, and those poking made that area tender and therefore could be the pain. That pain should subside in a few days if you stop poking at the area. Further, Researches proves that medicines alone cannot cure anxiety disorder. Along with medicine you should practice psychotherapy techniques to streamline your lifestyle and meditation and yoga techniques to calm your mind, body, streamline your metabolism and thinking style. Please consult a psychologist. If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to overcome your problems. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. |

Having worked in the UAE & seen a lot of similar cases, you may be on the right track. Contact with fiber glass may present similarly. Pictures don't often tell the real story. This is why medicine can never be totally taken over by the net-wizards! Apply a topical strong steroid cream & take a non-sedative long acting antihistamine. You should be well on your way to recovery in 24-48 hrs. Avoid further contact with similar products or take preventive measures. Good luck Chat Doctor. |

Is this possible? Could I end up with fatty liver disease or liver cancer as a result? I lost the 15 lbs that I needed to due to high cholesterol which I have been treated for for 25yrs with statins. | Hi there, If you're taking Chat Doctor, you're causing a hormonal imbalance, which can most definitely have an effect on your liver enzymes. This doesn't mean that you're going to end up with fatty liver or liver cancer, but it will be important to have your liver enzymes rechecked at some point.I'd recommend trying to eat healthy, with plenty of fruits and vegetables and restricting red meat, and then having your liver enzymes rechecked, as well as getting an ultrasound of your liver and gallbladder in order to evaluate other causes of elevated liver enzymes.

It only seems to occur when I eat hot food, I get nervous in a situation like interview for instance or if I drink alcohol but sometimes if I just change environment it can occur. It flares up for about 20 minutes then goes away. Are there any treatments I can take for this as it is really affecting me now. Thank youAlice | All the triggers that you mentioned are situations where the body interprets as a condition of stress(hot food, Anxiety, Alcohol, Environment). The exact mechanism for a stress related rash or urticaria is still unknown. However, antihistamines do help along with treatments that would lower your bodies response to stress. These include relaxation techniques(You can try yoga and deep breathing) and incorporating exercise in your daily life as it would modulate your response to stress. Thank you for your query. |

He ended up with a concussion back in December and had a clean cat scan, but was hospitalized overnight for observation. Now everyone he bumps his head, no matter how minor, he will get these noticeable knots/bumps. Should we be concerned about these bumps? He has some severe language delays (suspected apraxia). | Regarding language development there is a lot of variability, most toddlers are saying about 20 words by 18 months. If at 18 months your child is using gesture instead of vocalizations to communicate then you should consult speech and language pathologist for detailed clinical evaluation and investigations. Regarding head bumps, are these bumps appearing only on head or anywhere else after minor trauma. As you said CT scan following previous head injury was normal, possibility of most of the internal injuries is ruled out. Bruising after minor trauma may be a sign of blood disorder. Consult your doctor and ask for investigations like CBC, coagulation studies. |

Find attached the CT-angio report. Please advice me what medicine I should take now to avoid heart atack in future. | Hello. It shows minor disease only. So, need to focus on healthy lifestyle which I guess you must be having, which includes healthy diet like avoiding oily fatty and high calorie diet. Regular exercises like walking or brisk walking according to your capacity. Such pricking pain are usually related to gastritis and reflux disease rather than cardiac. However, you may experience some exertional pain due to myocardial bridging which is usually benign. These 20-30 percent blockages would not cause any pain. In my opinion, you should be on Antiplatelet Statin combination like Ecosprin av 75/10 mg bedtime for long term, for preventive purpose. So, should discuss this with your treating doctor. If you get any pain on exertion which relieves with rest, then it may be due to myocardial bridging, then you may require beta blockers like Metoprolol. In the future, you should also undergo echo and TMT testing every 2-3 yearly to keep check on the blockages. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts. Take care. |

I have had constant lower back pain and now have stringy blood and small blood particles in my urine. I have no blood flow on a pad. Is this normal? And will the back pain stop? | Hallow Dear, Getting IRENA inserted during phase of bleeding is not a very good idea. You should have got bleeding controlled by progesterone or waited for stoppage of bleeding before getting it inserted. IRENA in an intrauterine device which contains Progesterone. Slow release of this progesterone does bring down the uterine bleeding. However, because of intrauterine intervention while inserting it during the phase of bleeding, there are chances of infection. Now your stingy bloody discharge along with low backache is highly suggestive of infection. Please report to the Gynecologist. You will require a course of antibiotics and maybe you might have to get the device removed for infection. I hope this helps you. |

My brother and parents are having a strained relationship. Brother is 31, married and works in US. Parents (mom aged 55 and dad aged 59) stay in Dhule, Maharahtra. Dad is a physician (M.D., M.R.C.P.) and mom is a housewife. Brother has developed a feeling since childhood that no matter what he does, his parents are never happy with his achievements and they donot love him. He says that they have always pointed out only the negatives in him and never ever appreciated any of his poistives. He recalls many trivial incidents from his schoollife to graduation to current, wherein he thinks his parents never appreciated his success. Also he feels that MomDad try to micro-manage things ( as they want every small thing to happen as they want only) and donot appreciate independent thinking. (Though I know that mom dad have always been very proud of his achievements. It s just that their way of expression was way different from what brother expected). After his marraige, there have difference between his wife and parents. Parents feel that their son should take their side. But brother does not feel that right. Mom Dad are of a very traditional outlook. And this might be also because of the kind of society thet live in. They think they are always right. They think that after going to US and after marraige, their son has changed a lot. They think that their son is arrogant and not matured to the level expected. So now the case is Mom Dad are sad that their only son is being good to them inspite of they having been do so much for him all life. And brother is sad because he feels his parents have never been happy with him inspite of all his efforts and he is now frustated by their behavior/expectations. The situation is not at all good for a healthy family. I know i should not interfere in these conflicts as that would just tear me apart. But having know both the sides, feel a moral responsibilty to try to solve situations. Though they always all tell me not to worry about these things. Hence i want you to help them sort out things.Can u help here? The problem is brother is here for diwali right now and is going back to US on 10th of this month. So there is not much time. Would it be possible for you to have some phone-discussions and email conversations with all of them individually or on conference call? thanks Roma | Hello Roma, I agree that you face a very difficult situation within your family. Just to make the environment better, your parents as well your brother has to make efforts. Your parents should understand that their son is a grown UO now and has the capacity to take independent decisions. So they should try and not judge or interfere with him. On the other hand, your brother should also take pride in that his parents have worked for his success in life. They are his responsibility and he must work for their happiness. Hope the situation gets better. I would be pleased to help you further if I can in any way. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 7 year old (good health, average height and weight) has had a fever of up to 103.6 for the past 5 days. no other symptoms, I have been treating the fever when it gets up to 101-102 otherwise letting the body do it s thing with plenty of fluids and rest. Went to dr today, they did lab work and determined its not bacterial, its a virus. Fever still, controlled with motrin and tylenol, and now he developed a welt under his left eye. Started as a pea size and grew to a quarter in an hr or so, it looked full of fluid. Now the welt (hive) has dissipated to puffiness around the eye. Should I be concerned about this new development and take him to ER or is it likely the virus and not something to worry about? | HI... I have just read through your query. What started as a viral illness might have been getting secondarily infected and the puffiness around a single eye and with fever cannot be just ruled out as allergy or welt. I feel she might be developing a periorbital cellulitis or soft tissue infection around the region. I suggest you get back to your pediatrician or nearest emergency room immediately as this will require antibiotic therapy. Regards - |

Let me advise you about tongue swelling. Swollen tongue is actually an abnormal condition in the tongue occurring due to tongue inflammation, where either a part or the entire tongue gets enlarged, and fatter than the normal tongue size. It is true that tongue in its swelling conditions is taken as a kind of defense mechanism which helps in fighting against the infection and aids in healing. However, when there is an excessive swelling for longer time; the swollen tongue can be actually very much harmful. It must be mentioned that tongue inflammation or the swollen tongue condition can result from the excessive fluid accumulation in the tongue tissues and termed as Angioedema. This swollen tongue can also occur due to excess deposit of abnormal substances like the amyloid protein and also can be result from any kind of allergic reactions to certain medicines. Symptoms Of Swollen Tongue:-1. Enlarged, puffy tongue due to excessive swelling2. Difficulty breathing when tongue swelling outgrows to the throat or the air passage.3. Discoloration or redness seen sometimes due to inflammationProblem while swallowing foods. Causes of swollen tongue:-1. Tongue sores usually caused due to virus.2. Strep infections can cause swollen tongue.3. Sometimes burning of tongue while eating food in hot conditions can lead to the trauma and swollen tongue.4. Vitamin D deficiency can also lead to swollen tongue and other tongue inflammation.5. Certain allergic reactions can cause swelling in tongue.6. Patients suffering from genetic disorders like downs syn Chat Doctor. 7. Tongue cancer, leukemia etc. causes swollen tongue.8. Breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue or Rhabdomyolysis can cause swollen tongue.9. Hypothyroidism, amyloidosis etc. can also lead to tongue swelling.10. Excessive alcoholism and smoking also causes swollen tongue. Next I am going to tell about the home remedies you should follow:-1. Take enough of butter, soups, yogurt, gravy and broths in regular diet. In fact try to switch on the semi-solid foods which help in providing relaxation in swollen tongue condition.2. Cold temperature helps in reducing the tongue swelling. So keep some ice cubes in your mouth and relax yourself.3. Include celery sticks in diet and provide enough relief to your swollen tongue.4. Make a dilute solution of turmeric in a warm glass of water and gargle with the solution to get relief from tongue inflammation and swollen tongue.5. |

The fact that it is recurrent and always in the evening makes me wonder what changes go on in the evening that may favor this condition. Check well and see if there has been any new addition in your products that coincide with when this condition started, too.

Yesterday, he checked with his internist concerning a cough and congestion; sudafed and neti-pot therapy was the RX. Tonight, he seems a bit disoriented....he is shivering and has some blood when he blows his nose. Please advise. ThAnk you. YYYY@YYYY | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern, and would like to explain that to differentiate his nose bleeding and all the other associated complains, it is necessary to closely monitor his blood pressure frequently (several times daily). Cough and nasal congestion are less probably caused by hypertension. A local inflammation, like sinusitis should be excluded first by a careful physical exam and additional tests. An ENT specialist consult is necessary for this purpose. Somme routine lab tests, like complete blood count, PCR, nasal sinuses X-ray study, etc. should be performed for the differential. If the average BP value is abnormally high, then an antihypertensive therapy modulation should be sought. You need to discuss with your doctor (internist or cardiologist). Hope to have been helpful!

Rather, the urinary tract infection is indeed a possible cause. Please get the urinary tract infection treated with antibiotics and then decide upon the gall bladder surgery. In many cases, many patients have undetected gall bladder stones but never get any pain. The stones get found out incidentally while being investigated for some other problem.

Treatment of acne varies according to the severity of the problem. Topical medicines alone are helpful for mild acne. For moderate to severe grade acne, both oral medication and topical treatment are effective. Topical treatment of acne comprises topical antibacterials like Clindamycin, topical Benzoyl peroxide and topical Retinoids. Oral therapy includes oral antibiotics like Doxycycline, Minocycline, Azithromycin, and Oral Retinoids such as Isotretinoin. Acne scars improve a lot with chemical peeling. Other methods used to improve acne scarring are dermabrasion, micro needling, and fractional CO2 laser. I would be able to guide you better if you upload a picture of the acne affected area.

Taking up an MRI should be good. As numbness and tingling pain is indicative of nerve entrapment. Once you take an MRI please provide the reports.

Which I didnt do because by then it was after my doctor was available & I would have had to go to the ER. What is all this a sign or symptom of?Thanks for any info. Stacia | HI Dairy have read your query and by the "black colored and thick blood" I understand that your blood has a higher level of hemoglobin. Normally hemoglobin should be in the range of 12-14gm%. A little more than that up to 16gm% would not harm you in any way. But a significantly higher He level more than 16.5gm% or even higher may be of concern. Higher He levels are known as polycythemia which can be due to various reasons ranging from benign to malignant(cancerous) conditions. The doctor had asked to remove some amount of blood, that is known as phlebotomy. If I were your doctor, I would have asked you to do the following lab tests:1. CBC with PBS (routine blood count with peripheral blood smear)2. Serum erythropoietin level (if decreased, a malignant condition would be suspected and next panel of tests would be advised)). Please share the reports once it is done.Follow-up questions will be appreciated. Thank regards Chat Doctor. |

Ideally for a normal cycle of 28 days, the ovulation would occur somewhere around 14th day. Let me stress this is not the thumb rule, it is generally around this day in a normal cycle of 28 days. The confirmation can only be done by noting the daily morning body temperature and different tests. So, in a normal 28 days cycle, if we assume that the lady ovulated on 14th day, then 12th to 17th day are the fertile period wherein there are chances of conceiving. Rest are termed as safe periods. In your case, 8th day seem to be unlikely, but nothing can be said for sure as the life span of sperms are two days, so if you happen to ovulate on 10th day then there could be a possibility of you conceiving. So everything depends on your day of ovulation. Hope this answers your query. Thank you and take very good care of yourself. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi I have a rash on my arm and chest only and only on the right side of my chest. They look like raised red bumps and now are starting to scale over on my arm looking violet in color. I am brown skinned so the red shows up but now that it is drying up it is looking purplish in color. There is a bit of an itch too on my arms and chest area where the rash is. This occurred about 3 weeks ago. What is it? | HiT hanks for posting on ChatDoctorThe rashes you describe could be caused by two possible thing:-Shingles(zone varicella). Zona rashes occur only on one side of the body, may be very painful and evolve as you describe. Occur only on one side of the body and do not cross to the other side.-Another possibility is reaction to a bite even though less likely. If caused by a bite that may give rashes as you describe, a more systemic response will be expected. I will suggest you see the Doctor to confirm diagnosis. If shingles, your Doctor may prescribe acyclovir tablets and cream to help you get over faster. You may take an anti-histamine like loratadine for itches. Hope this will help Best regards |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Is a heart rate of 102 over 58 after two hour monitoring averaging in at 96 over 65 cause for concern my partner has been taken into hospital after 4 fits with no idea why fits are happening and past history of undiagnosed fits todays was extremely bad he stopes breathing my partner is nineteen Indian male Id this helps to make any difference | Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. You should not worry.I'll try to explain you something and give you my opinion. Normal heart beats range between 50-100 beat for minute in normal conditions. During a physical or emotional stress heart beats can rise over 100 and this is quite normal. When the heart beats in a regular rhythm over 100 beats for minute we call this sinus tachycardia. It gives strong heart beats, palpitations, difficulty in breathing deeply, anxiety sensation. There are different reasons that might lead to this excessive heart rate. The first thinks to mention for young person are emotional stress, excessive coffee consumption, energy Chat Doctor. There are also different pathologies like anemia, hyperthyroidism or other cardiac anomalies that might be responsible for this heart rate. So, as this has been a problem for your partner, if I was the treating doctor I will recommend some examination like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and structure, a full blood analyze to exclude anemia and thyroid gland problems. And the most important one holder rhythm monitoring for 48 h. This means monitoring heart rhythm for two days to evaluate the heart frequency during day and night. Only after this we can better judge what we are dealing with and how to manage it. It might just be a stressed period, and it will soon pass. Hope I was helpful. Wish your partner good health. Best regards. |

I have always had low Iron. Do you think this may be the problem. I havent told my work yet and i dont want them to know yet, but scared i will be unable to hide it. Is there anything i can do or anything you can suggest?Thanks, Lisa | Hi, Thanks for your query on Chat Doctor platform. I understand your concern. It's but natural to have low general condition along with low iron & fatigue after 3 pregnancies, childbirths & breast feedings. .specially. When it is followed by fourth pregnancy. Morning sickness adds to it. 1. A regular pregnancy check up by a gynecologist/ get advised investigations done & take the medicines prescribed regularly. 2. Healthy lifestyle consisting of- - frequent, small servings of nutritious food with adequate proteins (milk), fresh fruits, veges, salads, sprouts, .fibers.along with plenty of water - Regular exercises (Yoga/ walking) - minimum 8 hours sound sleep, - positive attitude. Are the ways to combat fatigue/ have healthy pregnancy. - Hiding pregnancy does not seem to be practice or beneficial. So no need of hiding the new arrival in your family, that you have accepted willingly/ happily. Thanks. |

They told me i have 2 hernias one on each groin. And told me i had a bladder infection and prescribed me ciprofloxacin and a z pack. I finished both and still have the pains, and having irregular bowel movements and pretty much constipation. They told me i need to go to a urologist, but cant afford it till the 1st of the year. What do you think could be happening ? | Hi Holden read your query have following suggestions-a. Pain in right side and backache with involvement of bowel- I would place the defect around the spine. Now I cannot be there to examine you, but I would certainly suggest a X-ray of lumbosacral region, and a MRI subsequently if something does turn up in the rays. For urine infection, get a urine culture done. Taking Cipro may help you. But that is only if the infecting organism is effective on the organism causing the infection. So I recommend a urine culture. It would take 3 days and then u can start antibiotics accordingly.in case u have a back problem you will need to meet a spinal surgeon or a neurosurgeon at the very least best of luck |

Am also feeling weak felling and feel unstesdy walking although i walk straight and walk three km daily. I feel head pain on top of head and not really a headache.pls help me as i have read so much on net and worried. | Hello, As you have already undergone the CT and MRI which has revealed to you that the reports are normal, I feel there is nothing to worry. The weakness and imbalance occurred to you are sad to hear, as you do not have any specific lesion in the brain issue. This could be related to temporarily headache and needs to check once if you had an injury in the past or present taking to the head. At many times we avoid such small injuries and feel it's not major at all. Well, if you have not met any injury then as per me, you do not need to worry. The age you mentioned is 37, which is pretty young to have any kind of major disorders if you are not a smoker or an alcohol Chat Doctor. How about your blood pressure? Have you ever checked with it? Sometimes due to high blood pressure and tension people may suffer a headache which is called a tension headache. The imbalance may be due to lack of confidence sometimes. So I do not think you should worry more. You can start doing morning jogging and some basic general exercise along with cycling should help you feel more balanced. Hope I have answered your query.
