ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My hysband takes quite a lot of meds, both OTC and prescription. Recently he has begun to itch. He scratches his face, arms, hands, head almosy constantly. He also hums constantly, makes facial grimaces and moves his lower leg and foot when sitting. He has been diagnosed with dementia dCould these nervous movements be caused by medicine side effects? | Thank you for your query. Dementia is a chronic progressive illness, in which a person gradually starts losing his memory (particularly recent memory, that associated with his day-to-day life) along with at least one other higher mental function like judgement/ planning/ executive functions etc. gradually there is change in personality and behavior, with the person becoming incapable of maintaining his activities of daily living by himself in later stages. Popular medications to manage dementia are Donepezil (Acetyl Cholinesterase inhibitors), Meantime (MDA antagonist) etc., given for managing memory and cognitive symptoms. Also sometimes atypical antipsychotics like Quetiapine, Olanzapine, Risperidone etc. are given to manage aggression and behavioral problems. Among these, Donepezil can cause itching. The restlessness (moving head, arms, legs constantly) can be due to a condition called akathisia, caused by mostly antipsychotics. The facial grimaces may be due to a condition called Tardive dyskinetic, another side effect of antipsychotics. The exact cause of the given symptoms, can however, only be clarified after a thorough assessment of the exact medications that he is having, both prescription and OTC, and their duration of use. Also, physical examination is of utmost importance in this case, as observation of the movements in necessary for diagnosis. I would suggest you to consult a Psychiatrist with all your current medications for the same and reduce the OTC medicines as much as possible. Hope I've been able to satisfy your query. Please feel free to contact me for any further clarifications if needed. Best of luck. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had a tooth extracted and five weeks later it hasn t healed properly. I went to the dentist who put me on antibiotics for 5 days and I have one day left of this but there s still a fizzing sensation and nasty metallic taste in my mouth. The pain is reduced but it still feels like somethings wrong. | Hi, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of metallic taste in the tongue post tooth extraction. Need not worry about it. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined as dyslexia could be another possible cause for your condition. Go for citrus food to stimulate your taste buds. Chat Doctor. Keep brushing twice daily and use Listerine mouthwash. Do floss twice a week at least. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | i have just been diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and was wondering what to do to keep this from happening again. I was hospitalized for two days... I understand I need to modify my diet, but the only thing I can find is to stop drinking, but I havenever been a drinker!! do I need to take off work for a bit? could stress have anything to do with it? I do not like being down with pain and dont want to spend my life on demirol!! | Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis with pancreatitis. Stress is not a known cause of pancreatitis. However, alcohol, heavy fatty meals and smoking are the major risk factors for acute pancreatitis. Even without risk factors, you can still develop pancreatitis! I am happy you are considering modifying your taking. Also, Demerol and good fluid intake would help you recover soon. Unless it gets complicated, acute pancreatitis would not require that you stay on Chat Doctor. Stay positive and hope for a complete healing from this. Rest would also be a great addition to recovering quick for this. I hope this answers your query fully. I wish you well, a complete healing, and thanks for using our services. Feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Yes, please...I had a kidney transplant in July of 2012. Prior to the transplant I was on diaylis for 4 months. Sensipar helped immensely. I work for a fortune 500 company with good benefits. All of a sudden CVS mail order decided I did not need sensipar. They think that a drug company knows better than my team of doctors. I havent had sensipar for a few months and the itching has returned a long with the fatigue. I am contact our senior vice president of benefits to find out why I cant get this drug. My calcium is at 11.4% and I am really afraid. Thanks. | Dear user, obviously you were suffering from chronic kidney disease. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is one of the common manifestation of CKD. In this condition your parathyroid gland becomes overactive and level of PTH hormone increases which ultimately raises your Serum calcium level (normal level 8.5-10.2 mg/DL). Usually patient does not have any symptoms, but sometimes he may feel itching, fatigue and bone pain due to bone loss (as seen in your case). Senior is given to suppress the parathyroid gland and lower the calcium level when patient is on dialysis. This Chat Doctor. Secondary hyperthyroidism gets corrected after kidney transplant and serum calcium come back to normal level. But sometimes it may not happen and hyperparathyroidism persists, a condition called tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Remember, Excessive use of Senior may lower serum calcium too much causing life-threatening side effects such as heart arrhythmias and seizure (convulsions), far more serious than itching and bone loss. So it needs close monitoring of serum calcium, phosphorus and PTH leveling your case I would suggest complete work up of serum calcium, phosphorus and PTH level and consultation with Nephrologist for further course of action hope I have simplified the information enough for you to understand. |

I still get my period every month would could be wrong ? | Hallow Dear, Chlamydia is an infection which may cause tubal block. So please get your Hysterosalpingography done to evaluate the tubes. If the tubes are blocked, you may have to get them reopened by surgery. If the tubes are patent, find out the status of your ovulation by ultrasonography. If you have any ovulation problem, you may require ovulation induction medicines. If you are ovulating naturally, then plan your sexual intercourse on and around the day of ovulation. Please get his semen examination done after 4 days abstinence for evaluating his semen quality and quantity. Please report to your Gynecologist or Infertility consultant. |

But he spilled out his sperms and I am in a doubt if the sperms have reached my vagina and I am pregnant.I took an i-pill on the second day (after 40hrs but before 48 hrs).I had my previous periods completed sometime in the mid of march. On 1st of April i got my periods and lasted for 3 days.After that till now i have not got my periods.I read in various sites tht if one misses the period , then they might be pregnant.But in my case, i got my periods(early i can say). Could you please tell me if i am pregnant? | Hallow Dear, You have very rightly taken a precautionary step of taking I-pill. Though he did not ejaculate in the vagina, the chances of depositing Pre-ejaculatory secretions in the vagina or on the vaginal outlet are very high. Moreover, depositing the semen on the vaginal opening is sufficient for the sperms to enter in to the vagina to cause conception. I-pill has to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. You have taken it within 40 hours. So you are well protected. I-pill is a Levonorgestrel (Progesterone) preparation. Hence, few days after its consumption, some with Chat Doctor.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I m an obese male. Would stretch marks on my chest hurt? Medically I m okay aside from the need to lose weight, but I will get chest pains, but I can pin point them to where the stretch marks on my chest are. So do stretch marks hurt? And how can I stop it? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, stretch marks can cause superficial pain at the site of Mark. But better to first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain as you are obese. Obese patients tend to have higher cholesterol level. And possibility of Coronary artery obstruction due to cholesterol deposition in coronary arteries is high. And this can cause chest pain. So better to get done ECG and 2d echo first. If both are normal than no need to worry much for heart diseases. Weight loss should be done as soon as possible. And excess fat tissue can cause inflammatory reaction at the site of stretch marks. So first rule out cardiac cause and start weight reduction. Once you lose weight, inflammation will decrease and pain will also decrease. At present, you can take simple painkiller and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I injured my foot one weekend by coming down really hard on it when playing flag football. I went to the E.R because after R.I.C.E and anti inflammatory medication the pain and swelling did not subside. I got an xray then the doctor diagnosed me with a sprain. I ended up going back to work within a couple of days. I wrapped it while at work and tried to take time to rest it- although it didn t always happen. Now the bottom of my foot is in pain and my foot is tingling and sort of cold, for lake of a better word. I am going to see an ortho but the sensations in my foot make me nervous. | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As mentioned by you that, you faced an injury while playing a football, and you had ankle sprain. Now there is a change in the sensation if the feet, for me, it appears straight to the lumbar spine nerve impingement. As why this comes in mind is become of Two reason1. Tingling sensation is a direct indication of lumbar spine nerve impingement and 2. Due to the ankle sprain, your gait was changed and also during the duration of the pathology you were not able to take rest, so the lumbar spine has got sprain. By taking a thorough neuromuscular assessment and if the or tho feels he might tell you for Lumbar spine MRI. Post which you will be advised physical therapy, and you can be back to work with in 3-4 weeks. Also, understanding the mechanism or injury and coming close to the diagnosis helps to plan the better rehabilitation plan and an optimum results. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi I have a 20 month old an she has the chicken pox .. I also have a son and he is 1 1/2 months.. I was just wondering if it is dangerous for him to get chicken pox.. And if so how dangerous is it.. And also what should I do to try to stop him from getting them?? | Hello, I can understand your concern. The virus of chicken pox can transmit to another person even before the infected person presents with the clinical lesion. As your daughter has lesions now, the virus may have transmitted already to the son and thus, it is late to do anything to prevent your son from getting the infection. Even if he shows with the lesion, it is not fatal to life and can be managed with supportive therapy for lesions and fever. As this is a viral infection, it usually resolves on its own within 7 days. In case your son has not got the infection, you can try to keep separate rooms for your son and daughter and make sure that your daughter or any of her belongings do not come in contact with your son. Wash her clothes separately in warm water with disinfectant. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your daughter feels well soon. Best, |

My doctor prescribed gabapentin to help, but it s not doing much. I woke up this AM with more pain than usual across the back of my abdomen and am not eager to try to sleep again even though I move to from my back to tummy. | Hello, you have history of sciatica and back pain, and also you are taking medicine for it. I can understand how much it will be difficult for you to deal with these issues specially in the morning. Here, I would like to suggest to some basic but youthful advice which will help you to minimize your problem. First, when you woke up in the morning, don't try to get up from your bed immediately. When you woke up, start some basic exercise in bed like fold your legs towards your tummy, repeat 10 times. Next, bend your hip and knees fully and move your legs as a single unit in both side. Next, hamstring stretching in bed. Next, calf muscle stretching in bed. Next, now you can get up from your bed with side lying position and not from the front side. I think this will help in less difficult in the morning hours. But start doing stretching exercise and make it a routine habit. You may feel better. I hope this will help. |

It contains progesterone and help in implantation and pregnancy. You have to go for urine pregnancy test when your period will delay by more than 7 days from expected period date. Pregnancy test will give false negative result in first 7 days of missed period. I would suggest to wait for period. If period will delay by more than 7 days then go for urine pregnancy test to confirm pregnancy. At this time, you can go for blood Chat Doctor test.

I have been to the dr to check if its the meds I use. I have been to a throat nose and mouth specialist and he could not understand what is causing it. | Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As you describe in your query that you have metallic taste in your mouth which could be due to dentures as material used in making dentures can sometimes cause these symptoms. Other factors are medicines like antibiotics and medicines used for blood pressure control, gum problems like gingivitis and periodontitis, poor oral hygiene and cold and sinusitis. I would suggest you to chew on sugar-free gum and candies to stimulate salivary flow. The taste of the mouth will get to the normal as soon as we remove the causative factor. Visit oral physician once and get denture examined completely and start treatment accordingly. For now eat fresh fruits and chew hard peppermint candy. Hope your concern had been resolved.

Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, after a personal physical examination of your abdomen, I would have advised you not to eat anything from outside as intestinal infections could creep in, and also the intestinal mucosa might be hyper sensitive to some constituents of the outside food causing such symptoms of yours for such a long period. Apart from this, I would also advise you for a routine stool test for ova and cyst and treat it if positive. In addition, I would advise you for an ultrasound of whole abdomen to rule out any intro abdominal pathology and deal with it accordingly. Till the tests were done, I would advise you for an anti-spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor.

By time it "heals" enough to flake off it starts back up again. I have the spots on the ridge of my nose, by my mouth, and at the left side of the bridge of my nose. There is a "ridge" or "bump" where it affects my nose ridge between my eyebrows towards my left eye under the skin that feels bony.

It may be related to blood diseases or other systemic diseases. So, consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Also, consult the physician to know any abnormal systemic condition. After thorough examination and investigations, your doctor might come to some conclusion. And accordingly you may be treated.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am 64 yrs old, 5foot 4inches and weigh 9 stone 4lb and i am female. I have been suffering with anxiety for about 5 weeks and this has caused high blood pressure and a high heart rate. Yesterday I started propranolol 10 mg 2 daily. I have been feeling a bit sick and a bit light headed is this normal. I am not very good at taking tablets and I must admit that these ones frighten me a bit as it seems as though they are difficult to come off. My heart rate has come down from 108 to 80 but the blood pressure seems high still. | Hi, Propranolol has heart rate lowering action and BP lowering effect is weak, so you need to have some more BP lowering medicine like Telmisartan or Amlodipine. You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't be abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

Do you think I am pregnant whe.n should I take an at home test? Is it normal to have a period the same month you conceive also the fluttering is happening more often and is more noticeable | Hello, You should either repeat the home pregnancy test 3-7 days after you saw the short period or go for the blood test. The urine test should be done with a fresh early morning sample. Though you may have conceived, it is too early to feel any fluttering in the abdomen. You can also go for the trans-vaginal sonogram a week after your due date, as any gestation sac can be viewed properly by then. Hope your query has been clarified. Good luck. |

I have seen my dentist and he explained it was just like a spot, although it keeps coming back even when I pop it myself. I was wondering if these issues may be linked in any way? | Hello. The sensitivity of bottom teeth can be most commonly due to gum infection leading to gingivitis or periodontitis. So, my suggestion is to consult an oral physician and get evaluated. An X-ray can also be done for confirmation. For now, use anti-sensitivity toothpaste twice a day. Use a soft toothbrush to brush your teeth. Hope this helps. Regards.

Firstly get your thyroid hormone levels checked. If it is normal, or you have hyperthyroidism also you can have irregular period or missed period like this. But since you are taking Thyroxine you should rule our Prolactin hormone elevation and Polycystic ovarian disease by thorough checkup by Gynecologist if your periods do not come. If Pregnancy test is negative, no need to take Folic acid but if you are planning for pregnancy you need to have regular periods first which ca be done by contraceptive pills provided by Gynecologist advice only.

I have took those for one year approx. Then in other blood test everything was fine. In the mean time I had a baby too. She is 10 months old now. I stopped the intake of iodine after the delivery of my baby. I was noticing that I can t loose my weight and mummy tummy. My skin is dry, face is totally dull and patchy.

Please suggest me something what should I do now ? I am really very worried . Should I have to take the hypothyroid medicine for whole life? | Hi, as you mentioned the deficiency of iodine, and now you delivered a baby girl. For a baby girl congrats for it. Usually after delivery there is a change in bodies hormonal levels. For which you shouldn't be panic. maybe you need little general body exercises to maintain the metabolism of the body. Since from 9 months due to the pregnancy you had a high physiological process and now post delivery your physiological metabolism needs little regulation. Also, I am sure you are eating healthy diet and for the absorption of what you consume needs the metabolism to be proper turned. I personally feel with exercises your symptoms will come down, and you will have healthy motherhood. I have seen many females coming to me complaining the same, I put them on exercises and within 3 months of time 99% recovery is attained. With the grace of God I wish you a good health. |

Doctor suggested me stress thalium test but my nephrologist denied for this test kindly advise me | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Chest pain in kidney patients can be due to 1. Cardiac disease 2. Pulmonary disease like pleural effusion or pneumonia. Patients with kidney disease are at high risk for cardiac disease. Since your ECG and 2d echo are normal, possibility of cardiac diseases is less. Stress test has its own diagnostic value. So no harm in doing it. If this is normal then you can be assured about not having cardiac disease as a cause for your chest pain. Patients with kidney disease have lower immunity. So lung infections are very common. So pneumonia and pleural effusion should be ruled out in your case as both can cause chest pain. So get done chest x-ray. |

I am in good health overall, but I was told I have a heart murmur about a year and a half ago and I am on Sprintec birth control. Should I be worried about this? | Hello. It does not look like a matter of worry. However, since you told about a murmur, you should get one echo done to look for the cause for it. Have you got hemoglobin checked ever? For palpitations, low hemoglobin can cause it. It can also occur with a valve problem as you told about the murmur. Also, extra beats which are usually benign can cause this. So it does not appear to be an emergency. But, you should get yourself evaluated with an ECG, echo, and hemoglobin. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts or more information to share. For more information consult a cardiologist online |

YES i have had trouble for many years and yes i am a worrier Gail 49 half years old | Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Yes, it would stop bleeding. It's good, as it reduces anemia.2. No, it would not cause abdominal swelling. 3. It forms hard clot and stops bleeding from blood vessel. The blood stays in the blood vessel, where it is supposed to be.4. Excessive bleeding could be due to fibroid or endometrial abnormalities due to hormonal imbalance. Ultrasound abdomen and endometrial biopsy will be beneficial in management. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again. |

Looking at your details the present knots can be due to fibrotic breast disease. This is also dependent on hormonal variation in females.

In my opinion you are having HERD (Castro Esophageal Reflux Disease).You're all symptoms are suggestive of HERD only. HERD is due to laxity of the Castro EsophagealSphincter. Due to this, acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. So try to follow these for better control of HERD.1. Avoid hot, spicy SND oily food.2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.3. Avoid stress and anxiety. 4. Take photon pump inhibitors. 5. Go for walk after meals.6. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bad. |

I mentioned to my doctor on Monday that I had been havin gthe pain but thought it was from taking synthroid and she took me off it, but I am still having the pain periodically. AM I having or have had a aheart attack? | Hello welcome to Chat Doctor. Your symptoms may suggest that they are of cardiac origin. However, what you are suffering from may be angina which is a risk factor for a heart attack. It is unlikely that you have sustained a heart attack, but you are at the risk of having one. That's why I suggest you to get a cardiac evaluation. Please do an ECG, 2d echo. ECG will show the hearts electrical activity and changes of angina. 2 d echo will show the pumping function of the heart, the structure of heart muscles, its valves and leak between the valves if present. This will give an indication whether you have already sustained a heart attack. If both ECG and 2 d echo are normal, you must do a treadmill test or stress test which requires you to walk on a treadmill while your ECG is continuously being monitored. This will predict of you have any blockages in the heart and predict if you are at the risk of a heart attack. Please do the above tests and revert with the results. Wishing you good healthRegards |

Last week, I developed a dry cough and still wheezing, especially with activities like walking, going up or down stairs, etc. This week, I still have the same cough and wheezing as well as some shortness of breath. If this was a virus, should I go to the doctor? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of post infectious bronchitis is more likely. Bronchitis is very common after viral upper respiratory tract infection (URI). Bronchitis causes bronchospasm and this in turn causes breathlessness, wheezing, cough etc. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Hope I have solved your query.

Monteagle can control most of the symptoms of allergic sinusitis, but it does not "cure" allergy. So one has to take it as long as one has symptoms of allergic sinusitis. However, if it does not cause you side effects like sedation, Chat Doctor. 2. For nose and sinus problems, personally I would suggest you regular steam inhalation which will hasten your process of recovery.3. I would also suggest you regular nasal irrigation with saline sprays which can be helpful.4. For asthmatic symptoms like wheezing, difficulty in breathing, I would suggest you to use albuterol or levosalbutamol inhalers when you have symptoms.5. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible. Please do not smoke if you smoke.6. Regular breathing exercises and a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) will also help you in a long run.7. Personally I would suggest you to consult an Allergist-Immunologist who will suggest you allergy testing and may suggest you specific allergen immunotherapy depending upon results. Immunotherapy can provide long term relief from allergies by improving your immune responses. Hope above measures will be helpful to you.

The symptoms seem to be related to a tonsillitis. The presence of an infection in the system can cause muscular and articular pain.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello Doctor, My mom is possibly suffering from the autonomic nerve function disorder, this is just what I guess and Im not 100% sure if it is. But I need the Professionals to help me identify the illness for her. In the past two months, my mom, 63 years old, always get awake around 4am in the morning with excessive amount cold sweat and she also feel her blood vessels are boiling hot. Furthermore she feels sad and wants to cry big time in the early morning, and the excessive amount of sweat continues the whole day pretty much. I doubted if this is depression but her Chinese doctor said its not. But I want a second opinion. I tried to give her B12 and B1 to eat plus the Oryzanol, but it doesnt do anything to her so far. I am really worried and eager to help her out, please advise me what medicine can help her problem? | Hi, Autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions of the body like blood pressure maintenance, heart beat, breathing, sweating, bowel function etc. When this is disturbed it is known as Dysautonomia. It presents with symptoms like high blood pressure, excessive sweating, flushing, bowel disturbances etc. The symptoms can be quite distressing for the patient which can lead to a secondary depressive disorder (depending on for how long she has been experiencing these symptoms and also the relationship between them and the depressive symptoms). This maybe the cause of her symptoms like early morning awakening, weeping and low mood etc. Symptoms of excess sweating and flushing is not usually seen as a part of depressive disorder. This disorder is quite rare and can have primary causes. Investigations would help make a diagnosis. If a cause is found then the treatment would target that condition, if not the treatment would be symptomatic, which means that treatment will be given to control each of her symptoms. Medicines she is receiving right now is non-specific. Discuss investigating her further by her treating doctor. Hope this helps, Chat Doctor. |

The infection of kidney is called pyelonephritis, and it is not easy to get it fully cured like a regular UTI. The return of the symptoms suggest that the infection has not completely subsided, and you require higher antibiotics. You cannot get them from your pharmacist.

Then you will be admitted and will start on antibiotic injections for a week, depending on the test result. Hope this discussion will be helpful to you. Thank you. |

Ultrasound scan is a basic screening test, which shows R.and L. enlarged kidneys, but no idea about the cause, or function of either kidneys.

Can you help? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should not worry much for cancer at present. As painful lumps are less like to be malignant. And if your lump is not increasing in size over the years then it is benign only. But better to get done biopsy and histopathological examination of the lump to rule out malignancy.

Please advice.Thanks Kain Ashok | HI Main Ashok. Thanks for your query. You have not posted all the reports and looks to be normal, as posted on and as rest of them you have not mentioned. Since the child is just 9 years old, the history can not be very much clear and there is difficulty in getting the appropriate sign too. The causes of pain in abdomen in a 9-year child are as follows :-Tummy tonsils-meaning enlargement of the lymph nodes of the abdomen.-Appendicitis- by default this has to be ruled out in every case of pain in -abdomen of a child.-Worms. The best diagnosis is a high resolution ultrasonography. Some blood, urine and stool tests. A therapeutic trial with a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics under the guidance of a pediatrician / Surgeon always helps to solve the problem and to get a diagnosis. Also given is a dose of medicines active against worms in intestine. I hope a consultation with a Pediatric Surgeon, investigations and a course of an antibiotic and metronidazole should solve the problem. If this is indicative of appendicitis, please go for the surgery of appendectomy. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I saw my physician today, because I have been extremely tired/fatigue for the last past week. I had some fasting labs done and my white blood cell count is 4.0. A year ago it was 4.4, 4 months before that it was 4.3; in 2011, it was 4.9; 3 months before that it was4.4. In 2010 my WBC was 4.0 and in 2009; it was3.9. Should I be concerned? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The white blood cell counts have remained concentrated around one value. The normal range of white blood cells is between 4-11 thousand per cubic millimeter. Thus, the white blood cell count is on lower side but within normal range.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,I received a couple of faint positive pregnancy tests two weeks ago. Then, I went to my primary physician for another urine test, which came out as negative. Later, I felt some cramping on and off all day on my left side. The cramps were similar to premenstrual cramps along with sore nipples, increased saliva, and sense of taste, absent-mindedness, forgetfulness, very noticeable fatigue, occasional backache and headache, indigestion, burps and frequent urination. I was anxious and read about ectopic pregnancies and decided to test that night. It was a darker line than the previous tests and the result was pretty fast. When I tested the next morning, it was even darker and the result came very quickly. Then, two digital tests a couple of days after being positive. What can be the reason for my pain? Can it occur from a corpus luteum cyst and pregnancy? Is it safe to say that I am pregnant because of the tests becoming darker? Or were they possibly all false positives? I feel like the cramps are a bit more spaced out and less frequent now. Also, there has been no bleeding. I have my first OB/GYN appointment scheduled 15 days from now, but I am hoping for a little insight. I am currently on Vitex capsules 400 mg, GNC prenatal vitamins and Fish oil pills.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a hard knot at the base of my skull. It s hard and won t move but it s cause headaches and light sensitivity, also the headaches start right off the bump it feels. What could that be? I m not sure if they are related but I ve also had nose bleeds since this. | Thank you for your query. The base of your skull houses some important structures namely the occipital lobe (responsible for vision), brain stem (responsible for regulating important body functions like breathing, blood,heart rate and also houses several workhouses of the cranial nerves including the oculomotor which supplies the muscles of the eye) and blood vessels, contained in a narrow space, that supply the posterior part of your brain. Any space occupying lesion (SOL), a general term used to describe knots, bumps, tumors, in this area needs to be examined promptly especially as any pressure to adjacent structures, mentioned above, can cause compromise of these functions and Increased intracranial pressure. Nose Bleeds may occur to help relieve these symptoms. All your symptoms fit in this scenario. The SOL needs to be checked out right away by CT or an MRI of the brain and surrounding structures. Based on the size, type and other characteristics, a treatment plan will be made and initiated. This may include surgery to relieve pressure symptoms and effects. I recommend a prompt visit to your doctor to get it checked out.in the meantime, worsening of your symptoms, occurrence of new ones like, tremors, breathing difficulty, severe headaches, vomiting warrants a trip to the ER right away. Hope this helps, and you get better soon. Wish you good health and feel free to get back to us if you need any clarification |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, the past couple of months I have noticed that when I drink fluids, it tends to go down the wrong hole a lot of the time and makes me choke.

Problem with my wife is 1. she used to forget the conversation that we had within quick period of time. 2. she won t do any work with concentration. 3. suppose if i am talking to her seriously with any topic . she will spoke irrelevant to the topic it gets really frustrating . 4. Most of the times she used to hear some gossips near by her home and she won t think what is the real fact about the issue and she always used to blame neighbours and thinks in pessimistic manner. 5. suppose if somebody is giving suggestion about what needs to be done with my baby. she will not take those suggestion in a right way and instead of that she will think i know what has to be done for my baby . Still the issues are keeps on going and i have suggested her to do the meditation and yoga but her surrounding atmosphere at her home are not allowing to do the further things. Please any suggestions i am really worried a lot about my wife what else i can do? Thanks Venkatesh 0000 | Dear Venkatesh, We cannot change the nature/behavior of a person, you may not be always right, and your wife not be always wrong. My suggestion to you is sat together listen to her spend some valuable time and be open to accept comments/compliments, try your best not to argue even if she is wrong you may put forward your opinion-bring her into confidence. You may start her on Saraswataristha (ayurvedic formulation) for memory and concentration, it will also keep her calm. Best wishes, |
