Q. I have high BP while sitting. Is this a cause of concern? | Hi doctor,I am 35 years old male having weight around 82 kg. Last year I was diagnosed with hypertension as my reading in the clinic was 170/120 and when the doctor asked me to monitor my BP and wrote some blood test. I monitored at home for 15 days then it was around 145/100 and report for all the blood test was normal but the doctor prescribed me Met XL 25 so I am taking it at night. I have started the exercise in the morning like jumping rope, spiking and yoga as well. I play TT for one hour in the noon around 4 PM to 5 PM. Now in the morning after exercise, my BP is around 130/85 but in the evening when I measure while sitting, it is around 150/110 and when lying it is around 138/93. Is this a cause of concern having high BP in the evening or it is normal? | Hello. The medication you are taking is right, but I would like to know that whether you are skipping your medicine in between? And along with medication, stop over the counter salt.

For how Long should I give Myteka to my 9 month old baby? | Hello sir,I have a 9month old baby,he very frequently gets congested chest and coughs with breathing difficulty while feeding,doctor usually prescribes an anti allergic syrup along with nubiliser( saline solution and atem) to clear out the congestion,along with some antibiotics...he gets fine after the treatment but gets hit again after a few days.the only time he was fine was when he took myteka for 2months..so if I want to give him myteka for how long can he continue to have it? | Hi...it could be viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. I have a few questions for you -Questions:1. How many days per month does he cough or feel breathless?2. How many nights per month does his sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?3. Does he feel breathless when he is active?4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?6.

What causes breakthrow pain? | I have been on methadone for 6 years and I started seeing a PM Dr. that wants to switch me to oxycontin. At the moment I take 60mg of methadone with 4-6 oxycodone 5 mg for breakthrow pain. My question is what is the correct amount of MG daily of oxycontin I should be switched too? and will I go throw any withdrawl during the change? | Ok, there are a wide variety of websites with estimates of the conversion rate. The actual effect is within 50% of the estimate and a large number of factors including the genetic effect of particular opioids on opiate receptors and the genetics of how fast the drugs are metabolized and the genetic effects of how the drugs feel that are NOT taken into account in the conversion rates. are a bunch of charts.basically, one might start with the oxycontin regardless of the previous methadone dose provided the methadone dose isn't silly high. THere is a huge risk of overdose more than withdrawal because methadone stays in the system and if you use oxycontin the same day as the methadone you are basically doubling the dose. |

Suggest treatment for prostate cancer | Today I got a call from my uriologist's nurse following a prostate biopsy. She wants me to come in to the office.

Can you give me some answers? Jay | Hi Jay. I can understand your anxiety and worry.Why was your prostatic biopsy performed. What was your PSA level. Now that your prostate cancer has been diagnosed, staging investigations are required to see if the disease is limited to prostate or if it has spread to other parts of body.

Please suggest can they do dialysis with the help of vent or what is the best treatment? | Dear User, dialysis need depends on the cause that is giving her breathing problems. Was pulmonary embolism demonstrated by a CAT scan? If pulmonary embolism is demonstrated, I think dialysis can't do much more.

History of tooth filling. Pain in tooth, cannot eat. How to relieve pain? | i had afilling bac kin october last year the original filling came out but since having the filling done the tooth hurts more now than before i can t even eat on it without it feeling uncomfortable i ve put oil of clove on it relieves the pain for so long then it comes back i know i should go back to the dentist but i m really scared of the dentists what can i do to relieve the pain other than that | Hi, Thank you for the query. It could be due to over filling or presence of any high point on the filling done . Another possibility could be formation of secondary caries which is leading to pain. Get an x-ray done if there is no high points present to rule out the exact cause .Just using any medicine for geting relief from pain would not be sufficient soo better visit your dentist to know the exact cause for the pain. You can take analgesics- diclonfenac sodium for the pain . Hope this information helps you. |

There is a solution to every problem and you should not give up.Hope this helps.Thanks |
I had an MRI of the orbitals done. how it affect white matter of the brain etc. | I am 17 girl living in NYC. I had an MRI of the orbitals done a few days ago because i was having eye pains. The doctor called and said the test came back clear, but he wanted to talk to my mom. I m afraid he is going to tell my parents I drink alcohol. I am in no way an alcoholic or anything, but I do sometimes go to parties, and drink to the point of getting drunk. I have researched that this sort of drinking and the effects it has on the brain shows up on MRI scans (how it affect white matter of the brain etc.).

Suggest treatment for degeneration of auditory nerves. | i am suffering from ringing noise in both the ears . the condition is about 4 years old. MRI of brain was done . doctors have diagnosed it as degeneration of auditory nerves. i am 35 years old female. so, please suggest to me about how to treat this condition and where to go for treatment. i reside in new delhi. | Well, that's a rather vague diagnosis from where I sit and I would want additional information. For example, have you had an audiogram done? Have you had a TINNITUS EVALUATION performed (done by audiologists). And as far as the MRI is concerned was it done with gadolinium contrast and was a high resolution IAC protocol performed to look for other causes of your tinnitus other than "auditory nerve degeneration" which should really not be happening in an otherwise healthy 35 year old young woman? If you'd like to upload the results of the MRI scan to me I'd be happy to comment further. |
What causes lumps on body after taking Clarithromycin and Albuterol? | I took clarithromycin and albuterol for a lung infection. Shortly into the treatment I developed a painful lump in left forarm (lump was hard and had a bit of a bruised look).

Finished the clar. cycle and within a few days most lumps abate except for lumps on feet which are still very painful. Could this be an allergic rxn to clar.? I also have history of gout. Could this be a factor as well? | yes, clarithromycin can cause unusual swelling and bruising of skin in some patients.you can take a mild anti-inflamatory like brufen to reduce pain and swelling if they do not resolve after stopping the drug.also take some vit C supplements to reduce bruising tendency.fact that you have gout may not aggravate your condition. |

How to check paternity during pregnancy? | Hi..I m in a fix right now. Need some answers. Had sex with a girl late last year (Dec 22), she used prostinor 2 and complained about stomach upsets and she saw some blood discharges, later she was ok. We had sex again on 6th,7th and 8th of January this year being protected once in those 3 days. She took the prostinor again, saw little discharges and later she had her period. We had it again on the 17th and 18th of February. I was protected the first day and the first part of the second day. I was unprotected the second time we had it the second day (18th) but i m pretty sure I did not ejaculate into her. She took the prostinor a week later after she said she forgot to use it. Now she claims she is pregnant for me. I said ok but now I think something is off. She had a scan done and it says the baby is 16weeks old as of May 24. Now i m a little alarmed, I dont want to be tricked into something that isn t mine even though i do care about this girl. I ve done the maths but the dates just don t tally. I do insist on being protected all the time but she says she likes it better if we are not. I m a little confused here, thats why i looked you up and I think you can help If its mine, i would take responsibility but i m not sure if its even mine. I also did some little research. Learnt that the sperm could survive for up to 3 days in the uterus and that the woman could only get preggy on just fourteen days of the month. When I factor in all the possibilities, it still doesn t add up. Please advice. Want to know if i should start paying child support...just saying. Thanks. | Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum You cannot calculate like this by dates. Pregnancy is a possibility in your case. You should have thought this before having intercourse(unprotected). If she is giving you the evidence then, trust her. Or else you can go for paternity tests later, but by this you will lose your girlfriends's trust on you. All the best. |

I do not know where to go from here...6 month old bsby and breastfeeding and have been dealing with these symptoms since may | Thank you for the query.I would like to know your age and whether you suffer from Diabetes mellitus. Since, you have a 6 month old baby, i would also like to enquire whether it was a normal delivery or Caesarian section was required.Vaginal candidiasis (yeast) is a common condition. It can lead to severe irritation, itching and curdy white discharge. Local vaginal creams for candidiasis like Clotrimazole cream must be applied. It is also necessary to maintain hygiene and keep your private parts clean and dry.I would also advise you to go for Urine routine examination and culture, to rule out any other causes of Urinary Tract Infection. In that case oral course of antibiotics may be required (since you are lactating all classes of antibiotics cannot be used). If the problem is persistent, you should get a blood sugar profile checked and consult your gynaecologist regarding the same.Hope this helps you out. |

It seems like you have chronic gastritis. I hope you are on the right medications for this. This can be the cause of your back pain.

Suggest home remedy for itching and burning in vagina | hi im an 18 year old girl and ive had this itchy and burning that has been goin on for two years now buy comes and goes but now its getting to the point where some spot of my vagina while bleed. i feel like its too dry at times but i dont want to over wet it because im afraid of further infection. is there anything i can do at home? | No dear my frank opinion is that you must be having some kind of viral or fungal infection which might have become chronic so it should not be neglected. It is advisable not to try to treat it by home remedies which may supress the feeling of itching & burning temporarily but would not clear the cause. You must undergo gynecological examination & may also require the culture & sensitivity examination of vaginal secreation if any. As continouing irritation of th vagina may lead to serious probles later ( cell hyperplasia may lead to atypia & further to cancerous conditions ). So it is better to treat this condition earliest. The exact cause can only be given after visual & per vaginal examination so it is advisable to have gynecological opinion. |

Are there any side effects of taking ecosprin during pregnancy? | I am 35 weeks pregnant and my age is 26.This is my first pregnancy.My height is 160 cm and weight is 77 kgs now(before prgenancy it was 65 kg).My baby weight at 35 weeks is 2.365 kgs.In my previous scan it was told that my amniotic fluid index was 8 cm at 31 weeks and i was prescribed deodavlin tablet to maintain the fluid content and advised to take lots of fluids and to take bed rest.And i went for a scan at 35 weeks and now my fluid content is 7 cm and the cord is suspected to be around the babys neck in scan in single loop.My doctor has prescribed me now ecospirin 75 (aspirin delayed release )tablets for 20 days.Is it safe to take ecospirin 75 in 35,36,37,38th weeks of pregnancy as prescribed.??I could see the instruction citing that the medicine should not be taken in last three months of pregnancy unless prescribed by physician.Will taking Ecospirin 75 be of any harm to foetus and cause any bleeding or any side effects now..I don t have any Pressure ,sugar,bleeding complaints so far...currently i don t have any weezing problem but i used to get weezing trouble when i catch cough and cold..and i had weezing issue in my 6 th month of pregnancy and have taken treatment for that and got cured then. | H there , thank you for writing in. Aspirin ( ecospirin) 75 mg in pregnancy is considered safe during pregnancy and is indicated in many situations like growth restricted baby, decreased fluid around baby, when mother has hypertension because of which at times blood supply to the baby may be reduced, autoimmune conditions like APLA syndrome, previous 2 or more more miscarriages etc. But as your pregnancy is uncomplicated you may not require aspirin as long as baby is doing well ( growth profiles and Doppler being normal). Aspirin needs to be discontinued 7 to 10 days prior to expected delivery ( when delivery is planned) or by 36 to 37 weeks of gestation. Such a small dose of aspirin is unlikely to cause bleeding problems during delivery when it is discontinued a week well in advance of delivery. A single loop of cord around baby s neck is not an indication for starting ecospirin or even caesarean section as long as baby can withstand the stress of labour well and labour proceeds smoothly. ( no baby heart beat pattern abnormalities on cardiotocogram and labour is not unduly prolonged). Hope this information helped. Take care. |

What causes watery stools in an infant? | Hi. My 6 week old son is bottlefed on Aptamil. I am currently weening him onto the formula as he has been on the cartons due to constipation at 1 week old. He has been fine until today. He has had some very watery stools, same in colour as normal and still some pip like bits but literally water coming out. He has literally slept all day and even when I change his nappy does not wake fully. This is certainly out of character for him. I have made an appointment to see my Dr at 17.20, but just wondered if you could help at all before I get there! First time mother so am worried with any changes! Many Thanks Nicola | 6weeks old with watery stools is probably due to some infection. Make sure you boil your milk bottle every time you give your baby top feed. Baby takes time to digest the new milk given to him. If the problem persists longer try changing the milk powder. |

What are the chances of pregnancy after prolapse surgery? | my wife had uterus prolift surgery for prolapse. Her age is 35 years and has a baby aged 8 years. prolapse started after her first delivery which was a force up delivery. she did not conceive after that irrespective 4 ivf efforts. all the 4 ivf s failed after successful embryo transfers. what are the chances to one more baby with ART proceedurers. Is there any issue in doing more ivf s ? | Hi there,,Yes its possible to get pregnant by the ART procedures.But you must keep in mind that the chances of success of any IVF is related to the age of the women. The chances of success decrease with increasing age.At 35, she does have a chance but its lesser than what she had before.The other concern is if she gets pregnant the mode of delivery has to be a cesarean delivery otherwise the chance of recurrence of prolapse is there and the prolapse surgery will loose its effectiveness.Hope this helps.Regards. |

Thank You so much . | HiI had gone through your query.Panic attack and anxiety is due to imbalance in neurotransmitter in response to psychological stress.Neurotransmitter is mainly serotonin and nor epinehrine.Klonopin is clonazepam and it is benzodiazapine. It helps in panic attack for immediate assistance. But it does not correct imbalance of neurotransmitters in brain.For this correction medicines like SSRI is helpful.Among SSRI peroxetine/sertaline/escitalopram can be useful. Take acc. to your psychiatrist advise.Meditations and relaxation like deep breathing exercise can reduce stress and anxiety.I hope i have answered your query.Feel free to ask.Thank you. |

What causes small boils in groin and thigh area? | Hi. I have always suffered from small boils in my groin, top of thighs and also as a result of ingrown hairs due to shaving in pubic region. I now have a small hole in my groin where a burst boil has previously been. I am keeping the area clean, using anti sceptic cream and plasters and am hoping it will heal. My concern is that it burst a couple of months ago and took a while to heal. I thought it had gone but it got really sore a few nights ago, a lump formed in the area and it popped. I am now left with the hole again. Do I need to go and see my Dr. now/require antibiotics or can I continue to manage it myself? Many thanks for your advice. | HelloThanks for query.Based on what you have described I would state that you have developed Sebaceous Cyst in the groin.The skin in groin and around genitals is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.The recurrence of the cyst is due to fact that the sac of the cyst which secretes thick sebum still remains intact and the only contents of the cysts are drained out Normally they fade 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.If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac)..Dr.Patil. |

Yes please, I have been experiencing some pain in my | Yes please, I have been experiencing some pain in my under arm/armpits, especially here lately the left one and can be quite uncomfortable! This has been occurring for about a year but I have had no insurance, I attempted to call to try & get a mammogram done but couldn't find a facility that would help me out due to the county that I had been living in. I've have noticed a bit more swelling in the underarm area, maybe it's the lymph nodes not sure. I recently got insurance but waiting on my insurance cards to arrive however the pain has really increased on the left underarm, wondering if I should just go on to the ER?! Sherry Rios THANKS! | hello,sherryThank you for consulting HCM.As you are having pain and swelling you need to have mammogram for sure.Fibroadenoma may cause pain if it is compressing some nervers under it and as it is benign and can be removed sugically no need to worry about it much.But if it is a malignant condition then you need to be worried about but for now somany treatments were introduced to cure it so nothing to be worried much.And if there is any local infection also the lymphnodes may enlarge and may be tender too.Abscess may also be the cause but you will know that by seeing as it looks red externelly and hot to touch with severe pain.Thank you. |
How strong is permanent cement on the front tooth? | How strong is permanent cement on a front tooth? My front tooth came out and the dentist used permanent cement to reattach it to the root. Is it safe? When I asked how long it would hold for, she answered by saying she doesn't know. Please help. I'm terrified. | Hello,Permanent cement being used for sticking broken natural crown to the root is not advisable as it will not stay long. As soon as you bite anything hard on it then there is a chance that the crown will come off. Also, there are increased chances of infection. So my suggestion is to consult an endodontist and get evaluated. You can be advised either post and core treatment or removal of a root followed by implant or bridge placement.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Honey Arora |

For the past 4 weeks I have been having really bad stomach acid reflux , nausea , cold sweats and chills. I went to the doctor and was prescribed Fasigyn (Tinidazole) and Somac (Pantoprazole).

What causes abnormal behavior in child? | My 4 year old grandson has been given pediatric zyrtec for what seems like allergies. He has been so unhappy and angry now, tantrums, etc. He has now started to open his mouth in a weird way as if his throat is itchy and is getting very twitchy with his legs. He has a tendency to hold it when he has to go to the bathroom now as well.. | Hi..by what you quote I feel that your grandson is having temper tantrums and it is quite normal in this age group. It may persist till 5 years of age. But what you can do now is avoid giving importance to that behavior when he does that because mostly kids do this for attention seeking and if you give attention they will over do it.

If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed)., |
What causes asymmetrical reflexes, ankle clonus and memory variations? | Hello doc. Here are my signs and symptoms. Asymmetrical reflexes. Ankle clonus left ankle. Slight sensory variations. Muscle weakness, twitches, fatigue, lump on thyroid. EMG normal, MRI says not MS. In the process of being referred to an endocrinologist. Any thoughts as to what is wrong with me? | Hello,I believe the most important thing to rule out and fix (if there is a problem) is a thyroid nodule causing Hyperthyroidism which can cause all the symptoms you mention, although we tend to think of endocrinological pathology as the cause to neurological issues in a symmetric instead of asymmetric fashion.But it can happen asymmetrically as well. I would not worry about guessing too much about things and just look at the obvious for the time being.Once, that has been properly evaluated and addressed as needed. If you are still having problems then, go to the next level of the chess board.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Dariush Saghafi |

Q. Does anxiety cause hand tremor and shoulder pain? | Hi doctor, I am a 24 year old female. I got married a year ago. I am an audiologist. I am having pain in my shoulder, hand, neck and back more in the left side of the body. Sometimes, I feel tremor in my fingers and hand and pain throughout the nerves of hand. I have these symptoms for almost 8 months now. I used to get fever at night. I consulted a physician and he prescribed me some antibiotics and multivitamin tablets. He asked me to get a Vitamin B12 test. My vitamin B12 was 173 and vitamin D was 4.7. He suggested me to go for vitamin B12 injections. After taking injections for two days the pain became severe and my normal activity got affected. So, I stopped the injections. Then, I consulted a neurologist and he prescribed me Meganeuron and Uprise D3. I am taking that for more than a month now and I do not feel any change in pain. In fact back pain got severe now. When I hold something in hand, I feel the pain radiates from the shoulder to hand followed by nerves of hand and then throughout fingers. For past two weeks, I am having pain in my heels while walking, which is more in morning. Due to these pain, I am unable to concentrate on work and sleep. So, last week I consulted another neurologist and he gave me Rexipra and advised me to continue it for 3 months. When I got to know that it is for depression and anxiety, I did not take that. After taking B12 injections I repeated all blood tests and now my vitamin B12 level is 360. Please find the attachment and give a solution. | Hi. I have reviewed the attached reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I would here by say that you may not believe vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiency are very common in some races and we always misdiagnose these symptoms. Your symptoms are due to anxiety and not due to Vitamin B12 and D. Moreover you have taken the treatment with no relief. Share my opinion with your doctor. I would recommend in such case SSRI (Serotonin selective reuptake inhibitor) like Escitalopram with a beta blocker like Propranolol if your chest condition, pulse rate and blood pressure permits. |
