You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | weight loss and anxity. anxiety after health scare. felt a lump in my breast and went though all the testing and everything came back fine. since while waiting for a second opinion (ocd a little) have had an overwhelming sense of anxiety. don't want to eat i do i get a sick stomach lost about 5 lbs in two weeks. trouble sleeping can't seem to enjoy anything. a huge fear something is wrong with me. myissues? appointment is this week and i am just wondering if this is normal anxiety related | your reaction to finding lump in your breast is completely understandable and normal. i believe that your anxiety is really fear. anxiety and fear are interrelated conditions. anxiety causes fear and fear causes anxiety. but there are differences. anxiety is a common emotion that is usually due to some vague feeling of apprehension without an obvious threat. an example might be walking down a dark street alone at night and feeling afraid. fear on the other hand is an emotional response to a definite threat. for example someone approaches you on that same dark street and says “stick them up”. now you have a real threat and are justifiability fearful. that lump in your breast was a real threat and must be considered as a legitimate fear. once that fear is totally removed your anxious feelings should subside. until you get a clean bill of health from your 2nd opinion physician please attempt to direct your focus on the results of your first opinion. enjoy life enjoy your family and have fun. i hope that your wait to hear positive news this week is swift and that your emotional health is instantly restored. |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | what's wrong with me? i have symptoms of paranoid maladptive daydreaming anxiety disorder. i think i'm paranoid i have most symptoms of it i also have this maladaptive daydreaming and usually about sad stories where i always cry i oftenly do lucid dreaming i have anxiety disorder i feel shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat always. i don't know if i am traumatized but i never thought of having suicide never. are these just the effect stress? i thought everytime i'm going crazy already. i wanna know what's wrong with me? thank you for answering and i think i also need advices | as you may know it would be impossible to diagnose you over the internet especially if you are having complex psychiatric symptoms. being evaluated by a good psychiatrist is your first and most important step. should this mental health professional feel that you would benefit from medications to help you deal with your array of concerns they can appropriately prescribe them for you. you owe it to yourself and those who love and care about you to get properly evaluated and treated. |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | what's wrong with me? i have symptoms of paranoid maladptive daydreaming anxiety disorder. i think i'm paranoid i have most symptoms of it i also have this maladaptive daydreaming and usually about sad stories where i always cry i oftenly do lucid dreaming i have anxiety disorder i feel shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat always. i don't know if i am traumatized but i never thought of having suicide never. are these just the effect stress? i thought everytime i'm going crazy already. i wanna know what's wrong with me? thank you for answering and i think i also need advices | one of your questions is " are these (symptoms) just the effects of stress? " i don't think that they are just stress related. you are also not "crazy" as suggested in your post. schizophrenic individuals for example feel that their hallucinations are real while you definitely live in a state of reality in being aware that you are daydreaming. maladaptive daydreaming (preoccupation with daydreaming where large blocks of daily time are spent fantasying) ) is not well understood by many medical professionals. its cause is unknown. some of your symptoms like feeling paranoid intense and complex daydreaming (can be so realistic that it’s as though you're reading a novel) and feeling anxious can all be related to the one disorder maladaptive daydreaming. here's what you can do: look for triggers that may set of the daydreaming episodes. some activities like playing video games may activate the daydreaming and oftentimes associated fantasies; be good to yourself and realize that you'll have good and bad days with mdd. look for positive ways to plan and spend your time and divert your actions away from daydreaming; find a physician that thoroughly understands maladaptive daydreaming and follow their treatment directions. with talk therapy and medications you can decrease these unwanted chucks of wasted time being taken away from what should be a productive day. i am optimistic about your future. |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | currently taking 75mg of paxil for anxiety. noticing it is not working as well as before. what should i add to it? . i have been on 75mg of paxil cr for three years for treating my panic attacks and general anxiety. it has worked very well. about three weeks ago i started noticing some anxiety creeping back in and i know i'm maxed out on the paxil. should i ask my doctor about adding something like abilify or some other drug to help boost me back to where i was? or should i seek a different ssri altogether? i'm nervous about the latter simply because the paxil has worked so well for so long. thanks! | you are correct in suspecting that the paxil is no longer working at controlling your conditions. many of the ssri's including zoloft and prozac have the same quality of no longer working after a period of therapeutic symptom improvement. after several years of reliable benefit these ssri's may even begin to heighten the anxiety symptoms. i would not recommend taking abilify. it has been shown to have many serious side-effects including affecting blood sugar results. while i understand that you do not want to give-up on a drug that once was effective it is probably best to try another medicine. |

You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | can stress and anxiety cause ibs. recently had colonscopy and endoscopy everything fine. . stomach always feeling funny | the exact cause of irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) isn't known but stress and anxiety are believed to be factors. it's important to note ibs is a long-term disorder. it is not something that "comes and goes. " usually a person who has symptoms of ibs has them regularly for many years. on the other hand stress and anxiety can cause temporary upsets of the digestive tract too. this is not ibs per se because the episodes go away. stress and anxiety can cause: stomach upset nausea diarrhea among other things. it's also important to note colonoscopy and endoscopy tests are not used to diagnose ibs. these tests may be given to rule out more serious bowel problems like crohn's disease. so the fact your colonoscopy and endoscopy results were "fine" does not mean you don't have ibs. you should talk to your primary care provider to find out what your diagnosis is -- if you have a diagnosis at all. wishing you well! |

You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | can stress and anxiety cause vertigo. i took a test and my stress level was diagnosed as 74 percent when i get stressed or anxious i tent to dig in my ears i have been diagnosed with anxiety severe panic disorder and agoraphobia of which i am alone 10 to 12 hours a day 4 to 5 days a week. and lately i have been under an enormous amount of stress the last 3 to 4 weeks financial worries having enough food the anniversary of my moms death and last night i was forced to drive last night can all this cause vertigo? | one of the hardest parts about controlling anxiety is that severe anxiety can actually cause physical symptoms that lead to more anxiety. many of those with anxiety start to worry about their health because the symptoms can be so disabling that it's hard to convince your mind that anxiety could be causing them. this is often the case with vertigo. vertigo itself is not technically an anxiety symptom but dizziness – which is often confused with the idea of vertigo – very much is and it's actually a surprisingly common one. since vertigo is almost exclusively caused by hyperventilation the best way to stop the feeling of having vertigo is to make sure that you're not hyperventilating anymore. often this is easier said than done. in the middle of an anxiety attack it's very hard to re-gain control of your breathing. but there are tricks that make the process easier now the trick here is a nice brown paper bag this you put over you head and re-breath your output works all the time. do hope this helps you. good luck ps try getting your life together that would help cut down your problems. |

You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | for the past few days i have been experiencing dizziness and slight pressure in my head is it anxiety related? . i was taking birth control but was having side effects so i stopped a few days ago. my symptoms tend to come and go a lot of the times i notice them when i am at work. when i am home relaxing the symptoms seem to go away. i do worry a lot and wonder if this could be anxiety related (i have been having tests done for possibly a risk of cervical cancer) or possibly still having side effects to my birth control. | this could be related to anxiety which causes different things for different people. since your symptoms seem to improve when you're not at work and you've only recently started having them after stopping the birth control and the cervical cancer tests i would suspect that anxiety could be the cause. it could also ironically be a side-effect from stopping (or starting) the birth control which can have physical side effects. you can always visit a doctor if you are really worried or if the symptoms get worse but i don't think you have too much to worry about. |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | i sometimes feel breathless when sleeping on my side but i don't know if it's a health problem or just stress. over the past few weeks i've felt out-of-breath when falling asleep while lying on my right side. i wake up almost in a panic with my heart racing but i feel better when i sit up for a while and eventually can sleep like normal. this doesn't happen every night though and doesn't happen if i nap during the day. it also only started after i had a health scare (unrelated) while lying in bed which left me afraid to fall asleep. is this a real issue or just anxiety about what happened before? | you are asking a question that could not be answered over the internet. we do not know anything about you your medical history. but more importantly we have no way of examining you and/or ordering any diagnostic tests. before attributing any medical condition to stress or anxiety a medical provider must first rule out all organic causes that could be attributed to your array of symptoms. i would strongly suggest that you see your medical provider -- someone who knows you and your medical history -- for a thorough diagnostic evaluation. |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | can i go on disability if i have been diagnosed with major depression fibromyalgia thalassemia ibs chronic fatigue? . i have already ben out on a 3 month leave of abscence because of my depression and anxiety. i feel it getting worse even with all the meds i am on. i do see both a psychiatrist and therapist. i just feel since i have been back to work now for the past two months things are getting worse. | it is possible to receive social security disability (ssdi) or supplemental security benefits (ssi) based upon your medical and emotional conditions. do not listen to those well-meaning people who may say that your diagnoses will not qualify you for disability. you do not have to have a terminal disease to become eligible for disability. the waiting process for approval can range from 6 months to several years so you must be ready to live without a regular pay check for some time. you must also be incapable of doing any gainful work. if you feel that you cannot continue to work it is recommended to start the application process immediately. if approved your original application date will be used to establish the approval date and possible retroactive benefits. you may also think about contacting an attorney specializing in helping folks to obtain disability benefits. the application process can be cumbersome and becomes a living legal document which will be used to assess your eligibility. attempting to correct mistakes or supply missing documentation later is not recommended. treat the application responsibility and do it right the first time. if it seems like too much work then it is best to forget applying. the application should be initiated as correctly and completely as possible the first time. you should begin to start a daily diary detailing your activities of daily living and your medical and emotional symptoms experienced. you should also gather all of your medical records from each medical professional that has provided you with medical care. attempt to secure the backing of your primary care doctor as well as other medical specialists to support your disability claim. they may be able to provide you with a letter attesting to your being completely disabled. also seek a letter from your employer stating their observance of you being unable to complete your job responsibilities due to your disabilities. letters from other people testifying that they are aware of your physical and emotional decline may also be useful. the majority of people are denied at the first step of the approval process. but with a legitimate disability being adequately documented and by following the above guidelines eventual disability approval is possible with your clinical conditions. |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | should i go back to therapy? . i have previously been diagnosed with anxiety and depression and here lately i have been more anxious and depressed mood irritable and just feeling in the dumps my mind is constantly running 24/7 some days i feel like i just need more sleep and others i can run off very little sleep. i am not presently medicated. | it surely must be a great challenge to endure 24/7 symptoms of anxiety and depression. the positive parts that i gleam from your question are that you already have a diagnosis and also possess some insight into your mood disorders. so at least you’re not starting from point zero. yes you should be assessed and reenter treatment. it is not unusual for your conditions to go into a state of remission and suddenly erupt with an invigorated vengeance. some individuals actually go through cyclical periods of depression and anxiety (like during the fall season when there is less light). they automatically seek treatment during certain times of the year even before overt symptoms appear. it is also common for people who suffer from depression to have anxiety attacks fueled by depression and folks who suffer from bouts of anxiety to also be clinically depressed. these two emotional states work in harmony to reap havoc in the lives of those afflicted. you deserve to feel well and have a joyful life. with talk therapy and medications you can be relieved of this tormenting disorder. by seeking treatment as soon as possible your recovery should be swift and your prognosis promising. |

You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | what do i need to know about my egg supply when considering pregnancy? | understanding your egg supply both origins and ways in which egg number declines can help you to decide your next steps on the pathway to parenthood. women have their lifetime supply of eggs when they are babies inside their mother. eggs are a time-limited and time-released supply: time-limited because all women will someday go through menopause and time-released because each month only a small group of eggs gain the ability to compete to ovulate. as egg number declines with aging the group of eggs competing to ovulate each month gets smaller. with a smaller group of eggs competing each month women tend to ovulate sooner and have fewer days between periods. eventually there are periods of time where an egg is not available and women will start skipping periods. eventually there is not an egg available to ovulate and a woman will no longer have periods. fertility testing includes tests for egg number and egg release. test of egg number include fsh (follicle stimulating hormone) and amh (antimullerian hormone). fsh is the hormone that pushes eggs to move toward ovulation. when egg supply is low fsh goes up. fsh is high in menopause. amh is made by eggs at an earlier stage in their journey toward ovulation. amh is higher in women with more eggs and lower in women with fewer eggs. amh is undetectable in menopause. tests of egg release include progesterone. progesterone is a hormone that is made by the ovary after ovulation. if a woman has an elevated progesterone one week before her period she is ovulating. if she does not she needs to see her doctor to find out why she is not ovulating. the group of eggs that have the ability to ovulate will only compete if they receive the correct signals. a physician will test hormone levels and make the necessary adjustments to induce ovulation. egg number tests like amh and fsh predict how well you will respond to fertility drugs because they reflect the number of eggs competing to ovulate. if fsh is high and amh is low a woman does not have many "extra eggs" to respond to medication. if she has regular menstrual cycles with a progesterone proving ovulation she is getting at least one egg out. if we try fertility medications and still get only one egg fertility drugs are not helping to improve chances of pregnancy. as long as she continues to ovulate she has a chance for pregnancy. if she wants to improve her chances after fertility drugs with her own eggs are not helping to increase the number of eggs released she can consider using donated eggs. one percent of women will go through premature ovarian failure (before age 40). a reproductive endocrinologist will test to see why egg number declined early and test to see if other glands (thyroid parathyroid pancreas adrenal) are showing signs of low hormone production. women with pof have a 5-10% lifetime chance of pregnancy if an egg remaining in the ovary gains the ability to ovulate ovulates and meets with sperm. currently there is no way to know when or if this post-ovarian failure ovulation will occur. hearing that egg number is low can be devastating. a second opinion can help increase comfort with the diagnosis. a reproductive psychologist can help to discuss the feelings that arise. egg donation embryo donation and adoption can help women with ovarian failure to build their family. |

You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | can anxiety attack be confused with heart attack? | yes they can. in fact people experiencing their first anxiety attack often believe they're having a heart attack. symptoms of the two conditions are very similar. if you've never had an anxiety or panic attack before and therefore have not experienced the symptoms you should always err on the side of caution and seek emergency medical attention. granted a heart attack in a younger person would be quite rare but as the old adage goes: better safe than sorry. once you've had a panic attack you can recognize the symptoms of it when it occurs. however no one should attempt to self-diagnose a heart attack versus a panic attack. if you're not sure always call for emergency responders. keep in mind the symptoms of a heart attack can go away on their own. if you've experienced symptoms you believed were a heart attack but then cleared up do not assume you had a panic attack instead. you need to get checked out by a health care professional. wishing you well! |

You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | what causes back pain in pregnant women? | there are many possible reasons pregnant women may experience back or spinal pain. here are some of the more likely causes: weight gain. during a healthy pregnancy women typically gain between 25 and 35 pounds. this added weight must be supported by the spine which can result in discomfort in your lower back. further the weight of the growing baby and uterus puts pressure on the blood vessels and nerves in the pelvis and back. changes in posture. as your uterus becomes heavier your center of gravity changes. you may gradually -- perhaps without noticing -- begin to adjust your posture and the way you move. this may result in back pain or strain. hormone changes. during pregnancy your body produces a hormone called relaxin that allows ligaments in the pelvic area to relax and the joints to become looser in preparation for the birth process. the same hormone can cause ligaments that support the spine to loosen leading to instability and pain. muscle separation. as the uterus expands two parallel sheets of muscles (the rectal abdominis muscles) which run from the rib cage to the pubic bone may separate along the center seam. this separation may worsen back pain. stress. emotional stress can cause muscle tension in the back which may be felt as back pain or back spasms. you may find that you experience an increase in back pain during stressful periods of your pregnancy. |

You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | i am 37 and trying to get pregnant for a year and a half. will clomid be effective if i have been ovulating normally? . we have a 4 year old daughter and had no problems conceiving her. both my husband and i were tested and our results were within normal limits. | in many cases unexplained infertility is associated with an age-related decline in fertility. unlike sperm that are being made continuously eggs are all made before a woman is born. as a woman ages her eggs age which results in embryos that make mistakes in cell division more often. this causes more unrecognized miscarriages (infertility) recognized miscarriages and down's syndrome as women age. the average age that women show up complaining of unexplained infertility is around 34-36 years old. for this reason a common theme in counteracting the age-related decline in fertility is increasing the number of eggs that a woman recruits each month. clomid is a drug that corrects some ovulation problems and it also occasionally increases the number of eggs that a woman recruits. it is a fairly safe and inexpensive first step. however many women will eventually need to use gonadotropins (fsh) to increase the number of eggs. this is call controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and can be followed by intercourse insemination or oocyte retrieval and embryo transfer. the differences between these therapies is the probability of success each month the risk of multiple gestation or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and the cost of the therapy. your doctor can help you navigate these options. |

You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | i'm pregnant and don't want to bother my health care provider with "false alarms " but when should i call? | your health care provider is available any time to answer your questions and to ease your concerns about whether or not your contractions are signs of true or false labor. don't be afraid to call your provider if you are not sure what it is you are feeling. he or she may ask you some questions to help determine if you are truly in labor. if there's any question at all it's better to be evaluated by your health care provider. it is essential to call your health care provider at any time if you have: any vaginal bleeding. continuous leaking of fluid or wetness or if your water breaks (can be felt as a "gushing" of fluid). strong contractions every 5 minutes for an hour. contractions that you are unable to "walk through. " a noticeable change in your baby's movement or if you feel less than 10 movements every two hours. any symptoms of contractions if you are not yet 37 weeks. |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | is a vegan diet safe during pregnancy? | the warnings are a bit more urgent for pregnant and lactating women who are vegan. having a vitamin b12 deficiency particularly has been shown to impair neurological development in infants nursed by vegetarian mothers. a lack of vitamin d and calcium also can result in bone demineralization in breastfeeding women. similarly young children (under 5) reared on vegetarian and vegan diets can suffer impaired growth. that's because of a vitamin b12 deficiency which can also result in anemia and rickets. yet a well planned diet can meet all the nutritional needs. absorbable calcium is critical too for vegans and ovo-vegetarians to protect against weak bones that can lead to osteoporosis. |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | if prenatal vitamins are extra good for you when you’re pregnant why not take them all the time? | these specially formulated multivitamins are designed to ensure pregnant women get all the extra vitamins and minerals essential for the development of a healthy baby and to meet the increased nutritional needs of mom too. they also benefit women who are trying to become pregnant and new mothers who are breastfeeding. specifically prenatal vitamins deliver a bigger boost of folic acid (between 800 and 1 000 micrograms a day much more than the 400 micrograms a day needed by women of childbearing age) to help prevent neural tube defects and increased iron which helps ward off anemia. they also contain amounts of other vitamins and minerals—including niacin riboflavin thiamin and vitamin c—that may be dangerous. for example vitamins a and d can be harmful when taken in too-large quantities. the rest of us should focus on getting all our nutrients from a rich and varied diet. if you want to fill the nutritional gaps in your diet take a once-daily multivitamin formulated for your age group. |

You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | what happens to your bones during pregnancy and breastfeeding? | during pregnancy it's important for a woman to get enough calcium for herself as well as her growing baby. most studies show that while some bone loss may occur during pregnancy a woman usually regains it after giving birth. in fact studies show that having children even as many as 10 does not increase a woman's chance of getting osteoporosis later in life. for women who have pregnancies in their teens the effects on bone health later in life are still not certain. teens have not yet reached peak bone mass. more studies are needed to learn if teen pregnancies can affect future bone health. some women develop a temporary type of osteoporosis during pregnancy. while we do not fully understand what causes this type of osteoporosis it is extremely rare and usually goes away shortly after a woman gives birth. breastfeeding for the recommended 6-12 months has many health benefits for mother and baby. like pregnancy breastfeeding may cause some temporary bone loss. however bone density appears to recover over time and should not cause long-term harm to a woman's bone health. |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | how long should i wait after my pregnancy before having cosmetic surgery? | i think it is reasonable to wait at least six weeks and only with the consent of the patient’s obstetrician. there are changes that the body undergoes after pregnancy as it kind of “shrinks down” if you will and returns to normal pre-pregnancy physiology. typically that is going to take place in the first several weeks and just to make sure we suggest a six-week interval between the delivery and the cosmetic procedure. it is never wrong to wait a bit longer because the patient might not quite feel up to it and has other new responsibilities as a parent. as indicated above a physical examination must be done including blood counts and all the necessary laboratory tests to know that at that point the patient’s body is functioning just as it would had the patient never been pregnant. |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | can you get pregnant while on the pill? | yes you can still get pregnant if you take oral contraception. while birth control pills are an effective method for preventing pregnancy it's very dependent on routine use. if taken exactly as directed the failure rates are extremely low and they're 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. in reality women need to take the pill daily and at nearly the same time of day in order for this method to result in these percentages. more and more studies have shown higher pregnancy rates with oral contraception. one recent study quoted numbers as high as '20 times greater risk of unplanned pregnancy than other forms of birth control' |

You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | is it safe to have cosmetic surgery when you are pregnant? | the question of whether or not it is wise to have cosmetic surgery while pregnant comes up most often when a patient who is scheduled for surgery finds out that she is pregnant. she then calls us and asks for our advice. nearly all the procedures that we do in elective cosmetic facial surgery are done under anesthesia; it is never wise to have a procedure while pregnant. that is why we do a pregnancy test just prior to the surgery. the chances of aborting the fetus are extremely high if one has a general anesthetic in the first three months of pregnancy. in any event even if one were beyond the first three months it just doesn’t make much sense because the body during pregnancy has changed with respect to circulating levels of hormones. there are blood count issues and a variety of reasons why it makes absolutely no sense to have an elective procedure during pregnancy. even if an operation could be done under local anesthesia i would never undertake such an operation because the local anesthetic itself gets into the blood stream and could possibly enter the fetal circulation. bottom line why ever take a chance? |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | are fillers and botox safe to use during pregnancy? | injectable filling material such as juvéderm restylane radiance and artefill typically do not enter the circulation and therefore it would not appear to be dangerous during pregnancy. understand that the fillers and the wrinkle-softeners botox and dysport are all degraded or metabolized by the body and their end products would not be expected to be injurious any more than any other medication that the mother may be taking. however i am just against any non-essential service being rendered to a patient during pregnancy. in medicine we don’t have 100% certainty as to all the interactions between drugs and the body. so why take the chance? |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | am i a high-risk pregnancy because i have hashimoto's disease? | hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune destruction of the thyroid gland. patients will go through a hyperthyroid period euthyroid period and then eventually a hypothyriod period. many patients with this process will have antibodies that will place the patient at a higher risk of postpartum depression. if you are hypothyroid then you need to make sure you are taking enough replacement to make your levels normal. in this way you baby will not be at risk. otherwise your pregnancy should go fairly smoothly. |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | how long should i wait to get pregnant after chemotherapy? | pregnancies after chemotherapy are not uncommon but need to be planned after you complete treatment. it's generally recommended a woman wait at least two years to get pregnant after chemotherapy. consult your doctor about your plans to get pregnant. in many cases pregnancy will not influence the return of cancer. but there are situations in which pregnancy should be considered with caution. if infertility is an issue after your treatment is complete there are alternative therapies. discuss your options with your gynecologic doctor. |

You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | if i'm 2 1/2 weeks pregnant is it safe to ride roller coasters and water rides at a theme park? | the official response is no you should not go. you will also note many different signs on rides that will say "if you are pregnant you should not go on this ride". the safest thing to do is not go on them. if however you are adventuresome then you may want to give it a try. i doubt you will be harmed this early in pregnancy. i think the real issue is how much do you want this pregnancy. if this is planned and a very desired pregnancy then don't do it. otherwise you need to figure it out. your doctor will tell you not to do it. |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | can excessive drinking affect ones ability to trust someone? causing anxiety and jumping to conclusions? . i recently was confronted by a friend who goes out a lot and drinks a lot. he asked me if i thought drinking was a cause for him to make rash decisions and be the cause of his inability to trust his girlfriend who lives a few hours and jump to conclusions for no given reason with no reason from her to not trust. anyone have opinions or even medical research on this topic? | hi every thing you say your find is correct its numbs the brain and from this gets confused so jumps to wrong conclusions over very small things. can you find anybody who works with aa they might be of great help in finding your answers. but i will come back to you. good luck |
You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | should people get "regular" ct scans (or some other head scan) to check for tumors in the brain (before its too late). i just feel that diagnosing/finding tumors early in the process of formation is the best way to prevent serious damage and i understand that tumor growth would exhibit certain symptoms but it is possible that people under high stress/anxiety may think its just because of their lifestyle when in fact there may be a more serious underlying issue. also tumor growth in brain regions that control personality (ie. how outgoing you are being socially awkward etc) may be harder to call a symptom | the amount of radiation involved in a ct scan would not justify the use as a screening test for the general population. it would probably cause more cancer than it would find. there are very specific symptoms and signs that would indicate an intracranial problem so it would be best to screen these patients first with a neurological exam rather than just recommending that all people get a brain ct scan. just like a pap smear or mammogram. |

You are a medical knowledge assistant trained to provide information and guidance on various health-related topics. | can douching hurt my chances of having a healthy pregnancy? | douching may affect your chances of having a healthy pregnancy. limited research shows that douching may make it harder for you to get pregnant. in women trying to get pregnant those who douched more than once a week took the longest to get pregnant. studies also show that douching may increase a woman's chance of damaged fallopian tubes and ectopic (ek-top-ik) pregnancy. ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg attaches to the inside of the fallopian tube instead of the uterus. if left untreated ectopic pregnancy can be life threatening. it can also make it hard for a woman to get pregnant in the future. |
