I have some type of an insect bite from over a month ago. You can still see the bite...it has turned brownish, but surrounding the bite, I have a circular area a little over an inch that is scaly and itches a lot. It is still a pinkish color where it is scaly . I live in northern middle Tennessee. Any ideas of what could have bitten me. It is terribly itchy still over a month later..
Hello, Thanks for the query, Probably you have developed an edematous response to insect bite. Sorry I have no idea what could have bitten you, But the treatment remains same. You need treatment with topical steroids and anti histamine. Let me know you have any other doubts. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. You can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor. Thank you

Hello doctor,I have been having transient visual disturbances (looks like moving or static bubbles) around the periphery of my vision in my right eye that lasts a few seconds every time. The vision also sometimes grays out then comes back seconds later. This happens dozens of times a day, every day. Often they are caused when I stand up or move my head around.I first noticed the symptoms when I had a sinus infection and was on Doxycycline three months back. I had pain in my right eyebrow that went away after antibiotic use, but the visual issue stayed. I had an eye exam with an ophthalmologist who told me he did not see anything wrong and that it was ocular migraines. I have since had recurring headaches that are persistent, but the visual disturbance does not change whether or not I have a headache. I have an appointment with a neurologist in three weeks, but I am wondering if it is safe to wait that long. Ibuprofen helps with the headache and reduces visual disturbances. Currently, I am on Lexapro 10 mg.
Hello. Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to optic nerve damage or low blood pressure. As standing up triggers these symptoms, orthostatic hypotension cannot be excluded. Coming to this point, I would recommend measuring your blood pressure in sitting and standing up position. I think there is no need to go to the ER (emergency room). When consulting with a neurologist, I would recommend discussing the possibility of a brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to examine your brain and optic nerve. Other tests to consider would be: For more information consult a neurologist online Take care.

I feel excruciating pain in my tooth whenever I drink something cold , even it s just mineral water. The pain doesn t go away until I take a medicine (Ansaid). These days it s become so strong that even if I take a tablet, it doesn t subside completely and prevails. Sometimes my tooth starts aching even when I haven t eaten anything at all.
Hi, Pain due to cold is an early sign of nerve irritation. As you have been taking painkillers for this problem the problem has reached a chronic stage when even those do not help. If your tooth starts aching on its own and specially if you get up at night due to sudden tooth pain then these are the symptoms for infected tooth. It can be treated by root canal treatment which your dentist will confirm after taking your X-rays. For emergency relief of pain, you can put clove in your mouth on the tooth which is hurting as it will give you temporary but instant relief. I strongly recommend you to visit your dentist and get the required treatment done. Regards

Hi, I accidently took 2 microgynon 30 pills in one day. I would need to rest for 7 days, but now I am missing one tablet, I sopous to finish on saturday and start on sunday, but now i will finish on friday... So should I start next one on Saturday or Sunday as normal?
Hello, Thanks for letting us know your health concern. I have gone through your query and understood the concern. There is no worry if you have to finish a day early. You can start the new pack from day one of your next menstrual cycle. You may receive your period a day earlier than usual since you stopped the medication early. So, if you wait for a week, go for it on Saturday instead of Sunday. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.

Hi doc my name is nithin.iam 20 years old,weight-60kg,height-178cm.iam having trouble with increased mucus built up in my chest and head.i also have some sort of indigestion which i doubt to be due to increased mucus in my stomach.also iam suffering from alopecia areta for the last 4 years and my ayurvedic physician tells it is due to increased mucus levels in my blood.what medication should i prefer?
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Increased mucus in chest could be due to exposure to dust or allergens. You need to avoid exposure to these and wear a mask when you go out. In response to dust, you body is producing increased mucus in respiratory system.2. Indigestion is due to gastritis. You will require proton pump inhibitors to reduce gastritis. Avoid spicy foods. Eat small meals at regular times. Avoid stress.3. Alopecia area at this age is uncommon. It could be nutritional. Improve your nutrition. Meet a trichologist once to rule out any fungal infections of hair. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

I had shoulder surgery 6 months ago for a torn rotator cuff. I am now having symptoms of numbness, burning and tingling down my arm and into my hand, forefinger and thumb in the same arm I had shoulder surgery. It does not stay like this though. It comes and goes. Also, its not always in my hand and sometimes it just tingles in my arm. My shoulder still hurts from my surgery . I do not have this tingling and burning sensation while sleeping. Could this be a nerve from a slipped disc or from my shoulder surgery? Why would this come after six months.
Han x-ray spine may be done to r/o neck spondylitis, the most common cause for pain radiation to arm with or without disc implication...you may rotate and move your neck in all directions to check for yourself if it radiates or accentuated pain down arm or cause any neck pain... Shoulder exercises are necessary to keep power of shoulder muscles and a weakened shoulder can itself lead to this sort of symptom, so check up with an orthopedics doctor physical therapy too is required thanks, best wishes, Chat Doctor.

Hi, my steps are split, 6 then landing then another 6. When I got to the bottom set my foot slipped at the top and my feet went out from under me and I landed right on my butt and back in the middle of the steps. My back hurt when it happened but it was okay then. My tailbone was and is still sore but what makes me wonder is my abdomen is sore. Completely across the front. Dont know if this matters but I had 18 inches of my colon removed in November due to Diverticulitis. I am 29, yes 29 years old, I know that is odd, trust me. Dont think it is my colon at all since I recovered rather well from the surgery and I know what an attack feels like. Oh. its across but right below my belly button kind of making a smile on my stomach
Hi there ~I understand your concerns, and you seem to have been going through a lot lately. It seems to me that you broke your tailbone only (since you have not reported a disc prolapses or herniation) and I understand that this can be very painful. I am sorry to hear this, and I hope you got the right medications to get yourself treated. I also believe that the pain below your belly button is related to your surgery. Referred pain is what it is called, and you could have something going on in you belly, and you feel it on your abdomen. This could just be a healing process, however it would not harm to let your doctor know this and your doctor might schedule an ultrasound scan or schedule an appointment to let you know that you need a physical examination to try finding out what is going on. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!

Hello, There is effective, assured treatment for sensorineural hearing loss in Ayurveda. There are procedures (panchakarma treatments) which are done to strengthen inner ear and vestibulococlear nerve. So its helpful even in the case of degeneration. You can use medicated oil (karma tail) which has to be put into ears. But you have to consult an Ayurvedic physician for complete treatment. To avoid these type of problems, as a preventive care, Ayurvedic daily regimens (dinacharya) suggest putting oils into ears (karma Purana) daily. This is the best method to keep your ears healthy and sharp even in old age. Wishing you good health

Hi have really bad cough wont go away get bronchis lots , lots of phelm ) do you know of any over counter medicines to break up fast going out of Canada soon on vacation.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Continuous cough with phlegm is more suggestive of bronchitis (inflammation of airways).So the best treatment would be inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Oral N acetyl cysteine (NAC) is also a good bucolic Chat Doctor. I am not sure whether these are available over the counter (OTC) in Canada. Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have a temp of 97.0 yesterday my temp was 95.6. I feel extremely hot but my skin is cold to the touch.. I m nauseated and have thrown up a couple times today.

I haven t had much urine output today and had diarriah off and on for about a week.. Please help
Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! Hypothermia is temperature below 95 degree Celsius. I would like to know if you are alcoholic if yes then avoid it as it could be risk factor. You might be suffering from hypothyroidism, initial stages of sepsis, hypoglycemia, etc. Avoid any substance abuse if any. Get tested for blood sugar fasting and post radial, thyroid T3, T4, TSH and blood culture, smear for malaria, card test for malaria and blood culture. Wear appropriate clothing and avoid cold conditions. Follow back with tests or visit a local doctor. Take care!

Hi, my daughter in law is 30 weeks pregnant . Its her first pregnancy. When she was at the doctors office in beginning of past May her BP was 100/65. Since Sep 25 her BP has been going up to 135/100 and edema at the ankles but her doctor said til over 140(systolic) its normal. I dont think the doctor is right biz whose BP rises by30mmHg or 15mm Hg diastolic must be considered Preeclampsia.
Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. The changed range of blood pressure she has is suggestive of conceptional hypertension. She needs a second opinion for her treatment... with preferably at least 3 BP readings at different time of day to confirm need of medication. Edema feet she has needs to be further checked with albumin in urine (which is suggestive of preeclampsia) ...she needs rest(physical psychological), treatment for urine infection if any & treatment of antihypertensives to keep blood pressure in control. Please consult a gynecologist for proper guidance. Thanks.

I have been experiencing intermittent right sided abdo pain for a few wks with no urinary symptoms or change in bowel habits/vomiting/nausea/wt loss etc I am 54 years old and have a Mirena coil which was changed 18 mths ago. A recent pelvic and vaginal scan in Aug 2011 for similair symptons was normal as were my bloods and CA125. The pain feels like an interntal burning sensation and can radiate down into my right thigh and sometimes my back. Any suggestions?
Hi. The burning character of the pain and the history of radiation to the thighs suggest me to think of Neuralgic pain originating either from the Retroperitoneal area or from the spine. I would advise you an MRI of the spine and the posterior abdominal wall to see for Destructed vertebrae due to cancer or tuberculosis, Compression on the spinal cord or affection of the ilio-psoas muscles. Also go for regular stool, urine and blood tests including quantifier gold test for TB and so on. The treatment will obviously depend upon the diagnosis one gets

pain in my back between my shoulder blades. a lot of pressure it started hurting under my left shoulder blade and under into my top ribs now it switched and hurts under my right rib into that ribs. agin a lot of pressure my upper ribs on both sides are sore to touch
Hello, As with the history I understand it to be a Trapeziums. This can occur due to inflammation of the Trapezius muscles. I will advise you to take up an MRI of cervical spine as in most cases this is the primary factor for the spasm and pain. Once done MRI get back to me, so we can plan the outcome score Now, I want you to follow this therapeutic plan.1. Hot water fermentation for neck and upper back.2. Using neck collar when not doing exercises.3. Static Neck exercises.4. Triceps strengthening exercises.5. Stretching of pectoralis muscles and biceps muscles.6. Strengthening of deltoid muscles. All this exercise are free exercise without having any weight implementation. In my clinical practice of 12 years most cases have been complaining of Trapeziums on/off and to work out behind the precise therapeutic plan we take the full history, assessment and examination. Most cases have a pain free movements now. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hello sir/madam, I have a breathing problem as soon as i started doing exercise to reduce my belly i think...its a simple exercise just raising my two legs to upward direction by normal lying position....i did breathing exercises also but it doesnt help...Is that due to air blockages in my chest?...
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.... You have breathing difficulty on slight exertion.... So this should not be neglected..... First get your resp examination by auscultation.... If suggestive of bronchoconstriction by rhonchi heard then bronchodilator Chat Doctor. . Second if fast breathing with sign and symptom suggestive bacterial infection like cough and fever then antibiotic need to be given.... For detail work up of resp causes chest x-ray and spirometry useful.... Here if you have hypertension history then cardiac failure also should be ruled out....ECG or echo done.... If you are obese, hyper cholesterol, smoking history and calf swelling then rule out pulmonary embolism by d dimer.... I have given you best diagnostic possibilities but remember physical examination utmost important and accordingly work up decided... Take care....

I have noticed a small red pea sized lump on my foreskin that is painless. I have read about this just being friction from masturbation but I would like to hear an opinion, I have never had sex or engaged in any sexual activity other than masturbation.
HelloThanks for query. Pea sized lump on foreskin is likely to be either a boil or a sebaceous cyst and can be confirmed only by clinical examination by a qualified General Surgeon or Urologist. You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Lifetime along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily. If problem persists even after taking antibiotics you will need to get it excised /

Hi, I think you should take some medicines like camphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after injection. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. If it doesn't work then you can go for GUI. Yasmin is given to treat pro but if you want to get pregnant, there are other options also. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor.

He said that this disease don t have any treatment other than exercises. Please suggest me proper treatment to cure this in short time span and get permanent relief,so that i can concentrate on body building.
Hello Left sided spinal sacralization is a normal anatomical variation, and it is not expected to cause symptoms. Your symptoms may be due to some other reasons. I suggest you to go for MRI L/S spine. It can assess soft tissue and spinal nerves accurately. There is no harm in exercise, and you can continue this. Proper treatment is possible after complete investigations. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Vomiting continuously - not once but incessant vomiting2. Seizures3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose4. Unconsciousness5. Altered sensorial or behavior. If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury. For pain, you can give oral Paracetamol in the dose of 15Β mg/kg/dose(max ceiling dose 500Β mg) every 4-6th hourly. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time.

I have a posterior capsule tear. Whats the best way to heal it and the fastest, Im an athlete, about 3 weeks ago I hyper extended my knee, no other torn ligaments at all. Have trouble bending my knee all the way back to my butt, doesnt go as far as the other one, without pain, any suggestions
Hi. As you wrote that you have posterior capsule tear without any other ligament torn. I presume that you confirmed the diagnosis made with an MRI as well. If their us posterior capsule tear... If I were your treating doctor. I would look to the grade of tear. And advent to move your knee and keep it immobilized.Don't keep pushing it to limits for checking its function often. The spasm could limit your movement by forcing it you are actually worsening and disturbing the healing. Do a lot of icing in the back of knee... Be patient as it would take around 6 Weeks to heal so don't be in a hurry to get back to your sport.once healed get proper rehabilitation and progress gradually to the sports... Hope this is helpful kindly Revert in case you need further clarification...

Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The information you provided is short of some definite clue-like. Yet to understand the problem, considering your age of 61, type II Diabetes and the left lower side appears swollen to you., the probable diagnosis can be a diffuse lipomatous as you are obese and there is no pain or discomfort. I would advise in such a situation the following:Get a clinical check-up by a Surgeon to ascertain the causes, get few investigations done to decided whether the surgery will be needed and need to get this done.

I have been taking 4 oncovite tablets a day as part of Dr Lamm s treatment regimine with bcg after bladder cancer tumeor removal. I finished my 3rd maintenance bcg treatment and am wondering whether I should continue oncovite, cut back from 4/day or what.
HiOncovite dosage after treatment with BCG therapy for bladder tumor is once daily. It is a multivitamin, Never take more than the recommended dose of a multivitamin. Avoid taking more than one multivitamin product at the same time unless your doctor tells you to. Taking similar vitamin products together can result in a vitamin overdose or serious side effects. Many multivitamin products also contain minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Minerals (especially taken in large doses) can cause side effects such as tooth staining, increased urination, stomach bleeding, uneven heart rate, confusion, and muscle weakness or limp feeling. Take your multivitamin with a full glass of water. The chewable tablet must be chewed or allowed to dissolve in your mouth before swallowing. Measure the liquid form of multivitamins using a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular tablespoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one. Liquid multivitamins may sometimes be mixed with water, fruit juice, or infant formula (but not milk or other dairy products). It is important to take multivitamins regularly to get the most benefit. Store this medication at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the liquid medicine from freezing. Store multivitamins in their original container. Storing multivitamins in a glass container can ruin the medication. Regards Chat Doctor.

Hello, I have recently had a bone scan and an MRI completed on my neck. I have had a diagnosis done by an orthopaedic surgeon who informed me that I have an avulval fracture and that it would heal of its own accord. So far its been about 8 weeks and it still feels just as painful as the beginning. I was wondering if I could get a second opinion. I have a copy of the scan if you would like me to send it to you. Regards Wilhelmina Turner
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As the MRI confirms the avulsion fracture in the cervical region, we should check for the clinical signs like, pain, radiation, numbness, tingling etc., if the avulsion fracture is only giving pain in the neck region then stabilization of the neck is a must by using a hard collar. Also, travelling should be avoided as it may lead to worsen the symptoms. As the avulsion fracture if very minor will heal on its own, nothing to be worried as such, but taking a proper care is important. In the majority of the cases' surgery is not planned until the clinical signs and symptoms are big. Post the 8Β weeks of collar, simple physical therapy will be needed to regain the strength and mobility in the spine. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Been sick for over a month. Started to feel better but it came back. Congestion, hurts to breath in my chest, weak tired, feel like Im freezing and a runny nose. Not sure if I should spend the money on a dr visit. No temerature, was wheezing last night but not now. Im a MA so I tried to listen to my chest and I dont hear anything. I have a slight couch but nothing is coming up.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chest congestion and wheezing are commonly seen in heart diseases (heart failure) and lung diseases (bronchitis). So better to consult doctor and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. ECG, 2d echo and stress test to rule out heart failure. 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) if bronchitis is there. Diuretics and cardiac isotropic Chat Doctor. So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Ive been on the birth control rod implantation for 14 months & I dont get my period but recently I noticed a little blood in my underwear and a little when I wiped & I never very sore nipples. Ive had sex a couple weeks ago and a few days ago... what do you think couldve caused this... is it possible Im pregnant or am I just overly afraid... please help
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The birth control method that you are using is highly effective, there is only a small risk of failure. You can consider a home pregnancy test to rule this out. Blood on urination can be related to different causes such as : infection, trauma, stones, inflammation of any aspect of the urinary tract. You should consider visiting your doctor for an assessment which would include physical examination and urinalysis. The tenderness of your nipples can also occur as a result of your contraception if pregnancy is ruled out. I hope this helps

IVE HAD 2 HEART ATTACKS LATE LAST YEAR (WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF EACH OTHER--ONE WAS AN ANGIOPLASTY, WHICH FAILED; THE SECOND ONE, IN THE SAME ARTERY, THE DOCTOR PUT 3 STENTS IN--2 MEDICATED AND 1 NOT), BOTH OF WHICH HAD DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS. I JUST HAD A SHOOTING PAIN BETWEEN MY BREASTS. I TOOK A TUMS, BUT IT HASNT HELPED. BOTH OF MY JAWS WERE ACHING, BUT HAVE SINCE STOPPED. THE PAIN IN MY CHEST IS STILL THERE AND MY JAWS STARTED ACHING AGAIN. I HAVE NO FURTHER SYMPTOMS.
Hello, I have gone through your question. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Actually I understand that your case was that of failed angioplasty and redo procedure was done. I need to know what is the status of your main artery called LAD. If you have failed pasty involving LAD you must undergo bypass surgery. But if any of other 2 arteries have blocks then you should try to optimize medication. The symptoms you have narrated are definitely due to angina i.e. heart pain. I need complete details of procedure and your current medications to give your proper guidance. I will be willing to guide you if your furnish full details. My best wishes Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,My son has a persistent headache since last 15 days. It started with headache. Consulted various neurologist. Got MRI and CT done, all clear. He gave various medicines, even Noxdorm 250, but no response.
Hello. I understand your concern and would explain that his symptoms could be related to a tension-type headache. Coming to this point, I agree with the doctors prescription about Citalopram and Sibelium (attachment removed to protect patient identity). But these ChatDoctor. For this reason, you should be patient. If the situation does not improve in a couple of weeks, I would recommend trying Amitriptyline and Valproate combination. You should discuss with his doctor about these treatment options. Based on his test reports, I would conclude about a primary headache (benign, related to psychological stress).

my husband just had his catheter removed today. Now, when he urinates, he has extreme, deep pain in his right kidney area (only while urinating). Not sure if he is urinating enough. He has a stent in his ureter and the doctor says that because the ureter is not able to close because of the stent, that the urine is pushed back up into the kidney creating the pain. Wondering if he should have kept the catheter in while he has the stent?
HelloThanks for query. Your husband has undergone surgery (Probably for stone in his ureter) and a D. J Stent has been put in his ureter. It is common to get pain in kidney area as the urine flows backwards through stent in to kidney causing pain in kidney area while urinating. Since the stent has to be in the ureter for 2 weeks the patient can not be put on per urethral catheter to Chat Doctor. The catheter in urethra is more cumbersome than pain due to having stent in ureter. Normally this gets resolved within a week till then take painkillers and antibiotics.

i have severe pain on the left side of my jaw. my gums also hurt if pressed. I went to the dentist and it is not a root canal problem. I do not grind my teeth, so it isn t tmj. What type of a dr or dentist should I see? Any ideas of what can be causing the problem? I didn t realize there was a charge. Forget it
Hello, I can understand your concern. It would have been easier to advise you if you had mentioned the pain is in the upper or lower jaw. I am answering for both possibilities. If it is in the lower jaw, it could be due to an impacted third molar, the wisdom tooth that is stuck in the jaw, trying to come out, but probably there is less physical space available for it to come out, so it is locked and causing pressure and pain in jaw and gums. To confirm this diagnosis, your dentist can take an x-ray (IOWA) or you can go for OPG (more preferable) that will show all teeth of your mouth. If the pain is in the upper jaw, third molar possibility can be considered for that, too. However, sometimes severe sinusitis can cause pain in upper teeth and gums. Are you having symptoms of sinusitis, like cold, congestion, headache etc.? Do u feel pain if pressed in the area below eye and around cheek area on left side? If yes, then this is the possibility, which can be solved by an ENT specialist. Taking a painkiller like Ibuprofen 400 mg or Acetaminophen 500 mg 8-hourly will help till diagnosis is made. I hope this advice helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Let me know if you have follow-up questions. Best,

i have severe back neck pain, have had five spinal surguries on lower back. I have severe headaches and feel like i was hit in the face with a baseball bat. sinuses are clear. have a pea sized ball in upper eye, started very small and is getting bigger. It is not attached to the eyeball or eyelid. when i touch it it goes up into or under bone structure.I am scared and feel like my dr, isnt listening to me. Ive been telling him about this for two years
HI, dear,thanks for the query you had for 2 yrs. I am there to help to remove your scare. In my opinion it is -magician cyst. If its worrying you, it could be removed by operation. Plz seek surgeons opinion and get it removed from him. Hope you got the cause for the lump on the upper eyelid. For the back and head aches, I would advise you to consult the doctor who operated it, as this may be serious complaint and needs urgent care from the operating surgeon. Thnks Welcome again to Chat Doctor for any help. Hope you got the answer for the queries you had. Take care ugly for the headache.

Metal P contains metonymic acid which is more effective than eugenic (ibuprofen) which is turn is more effective than Cronin (paracetamol) in relieving fever. A child of 3 years (I hope it has accidentally mentioned as hrs) can be given Metal P safely. Dose of Metal P is unrelated to that of Eugenic. Doses of Metal P require a separation of about 6 hours from each other but not from that of other medicines like eugenic or Cronin. You can also give tepid sponging to bring down the temperature.

Hi, Surveillance is mostly used for small tumors in elderly. Since you fit in to that category they have advised you the same. You can be on surveillance for as long as you want. Usually the benign tumor will not grow faster that 3-4Β mm/yr. However, if there is any rapid growth you will need intervention. Robotic surgery is one of the mode of treatment and there is no strict size criteria for selecting the patients for surgery. It depends on the surgeons skill and experience. Radio frequency ablation is one of the option but since your tumors are small, it will be difficult to target them.

I have posterior pain going up left foot along both sides of left ankle. It is not my ankle or bone but right along both sides in the back. it hurts to go down steps. It really hurts first thing in the morning when i get up. I m an avid runner. i ve taken 5 days off from running with no decrease in symptons.
Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. As the pain is in the posterior side of the lower 1/3 of the leg it needs a thorough clinical examination and may be an x-ray as well. This pain can be due to either of the reasons - either plantar fasciitis or may be venous insufficiency. Usually these pains are muscular and may be plantar fasciitis. For which taking a physical therapy should help improve the overall symptoms and regain the mobility as well. Also, doing hot water fermentation should help reduce the pain and with simple exercises the problem can be solved. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

I am writing this for one of my brother , He is a 41 years old male, not smoker complaining of hemoptysis since 6 months, that started one and half months after pulmonary vein isolation(PVI) for the second time) to treat atrial fibrillation, initially he was on warfarin that was stopped after one month of hemoptysis, but this did not stop the bleeding. Hemoptysis was in form of streaks in sputum. But was stormy pneumonia(2 months after beginning of hemoptysis), amount of blodd increased and sputum became full of blodd for 2 weeks until control of infection with antibiotics. Now the amount of blood decreased to be just small drop of blodd once or twice a day and sometimes streaks of blood with infrequent attacks of chest pain pleuritic in nature and no other respiratory symptoms. High resolution CT was done since one month that showed obstructed left superior pulmonary vein(as complication of (PVI) with two areas of pulmonary venous infarction located on left upper lobe. As per case reports, upper lobectomy was the management. Our question is, is there any other option for treatment ? We have plan to visit any good hospital in India to meet an excellent doctor. please advise for more.
Hello, After going through your medical query I understand your concern and would like to tell you that treatment for pulmonary venous infarction is lobectomy only if other management failed to prevent hemoptysis. You can visit Vedanta or escorts in Delhi, Jason or Deepawali in Mumbai, Narayana hriduyala in Bangalore for best treatment and care. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

My son is taking methadone and his teeth are giving him problems. They ache and he has had to have some pulled then another tooth will begin to ache. The dentist has prescribed antibiotics where he lives but he wont be home until next week. Can this be dangerous to wait that long? Is this a common problem? Can you suggest a website that people actually write their experiences with methadone on???
Hi. Thanks for the query. Yes, Methadone can be a cause for decaying of teeth but as an indirect effect. This is because Methadone can cause Chat Doctor. As saliva plays an important role in continuous cleaning of teeth therefore in absence of optimum amounts of saliva there can be increased decaying of teeth due to reduced flushing debris from the teeth. Waiting for a week under antibiotic cover is fine, and you need not worry about it, but you should get the cause ruled out and work on it. If it is due to

Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The neck pain is probably related to a pinched nerve. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest maintaining the area immobilized. As per the blood in the toilet, it should be evaluated the source of the blood. It can be a hemorrhoid. I suggest consulting a proctologist for a physical examination. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.

Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your blood pressure values are really concerning. But these values may be just a normal machine mistake, maybe from the battery or a machine defect. I would recommend checking your blood pressure with another machine and check the batteries. If your blood pressure is still in these values, measured with other machines, you should consult with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes, fasting glucose, etc.) to exclude other possible secondary causes of high blood pressure. If all the above tests result normal and your blood pressure is high, you should discuss with your doctor to consider the possibility of making some changes to your actual antihypertensive therapy (increase the dose or add other Chat Doctor.

Hello, It is difficult to grow after growth plates are fused. Growth in males not accuse after 18-20 years. But pull-ups and hanging with ankle weights under your physical therapist is useful.

I ve been doing heat compresses and Epsom salt baths and it s opened up. I m making sure I keep it covered and cleaned several times a day. Can this medicine help to get rid of all infection?
Hi.noted history of cyst on upper thigh near bikini area. It may be folliculitis (usually occurs after shaving or when hair is accidentally pulled-out) or a cystic formation (sebaceous or gelatinous) which may become infected. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. From the description of your symptoms, you are likely to be suffering from an anxiety disorder, probably a generalized anxiety disorder.

Hi my husband had a SA done and everything looked good except that he had a 90% rate of abnormal sperm, all other levels are well with in the normal range and he had a good number of sperm per ML should we have him checked out further or is this an issue that would complicate getting pregnant?
Firstly please read the link- https://www.lybrate.com/topic/improving-sexual-health-male/c2d102381098b2c50e904c6d65b2c75dNow, other parameters are within normal range except that only 10% sperms are normal. We need to know their morphology and motility and then need to find out the cause of such abnormality. If possible, we should treat the cause. Even the cause is not found or cannot be corrected, pregnancy is still possible with his sperms (whatever little normal sperms he is having. So, no need to worry.

A couple of weeks ago I was masturbating and I felt this stinging in my urethra. It was uncomfortable. I had sex with a girl on the rag a couple weeks before this, but no discharge or stinging while urinating has happened. Theres just some discomfort in my urethra. Could it be a UTI or a yeast infection?
Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! Yes a urinary tract infection whether caused by yeast or bacteria is always a possibility and should be ruled out with an urinalysis. If it is confirmed then treatment should be started. It can also be caused by excessive ejaculation and masturbation. If the symptoms persists then I would strongly recommend an urinalysis.

Hi, My wife recently had slight itching in the vagina and consulted a gynacologist. She said its an infection and prescribed doxycycline tabs for a week. Also a pap smear test of the cervix was done. Pap smear result showed severe infection. The result also showed organism trichonomas vaginialisis as present. Is this a STI? Gynaecologist just said its a normal infections and said to continue with doxycycline and she also said that infections has considerably reduced. My question are as follows: Is trichonomas vaginialis a STI? If so, why didnt the doctor did not mention anything about that and say its only a normal bacterial infection Do I also have to take doxicycline medicine since I sometimes have general small uncomfortable feeling around the genital area though no itching or other symptoms. I had used previous antifungal ointment which gives some relief.
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you Trachomas vaginal is is the Sexually Transmitted Disease.

Hi and thanks for the query, Treatment of epilepsy today is generally effective in most cases, and you should be able to go off medication, in case the seizures are well controlled for about 2 to 3 years on treatment. It is difficult to predict whether you shall develop side effects to the Chat Doctor. It is important to note that the side effects are at times related top the dosage. Changing the doses carefully, under close supervision could reduce the frequency of side effects. Keen follow up from your treating physician is compelling in this case. Kind regards

My uncle is 92 years old, never been sick, and has all of his faculties. Recently he has been having "episodes" where he becomes light headed and has even passed out for a time. Doctors are monitoring his heart medication and thinking about a pacemaker. Is he too old to consider this?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I can certainly understand your concern. I have worked through your query in detail. Pacemaker can be considered in your grandfathers case. His age is not an absolute contraindication for a pacemaker. Infact a pacemaker implantation performed by an experienced operator is a safe procedure for patients of advanced age. The patients who are above 70 years old may have less complication rates than the younger patients according to various scientific articles in various studies.Hence, you can go ahead with your doctors opinion and advise. Complete cardiac evaluation is required before implantation of a cardiac pacemaker.It's advisable to take an expert opinion from an interventional cardiologist before going for the procedure. Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if you can prescribe these medications to you. Post your further queries if any. Thank you

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. I see similar cases amongst young people who visit my clinic. In the first meeting, I advise my patients to go on lifestyle modifications for three months. I retest them again after three months and if they continue to be in high range then I advise them to go take much physiotherapy modality like IT and SWD OR TRACTION therapy by which we control the pain of lower back, but there is no relation between back pain and low RBC values.... in fact due to some jerky movement and muscle spasm he may have this type of pain...

My husband just had his 2nd hospital procedure w/i two week span of time for kidney stone removal. (not lithotripsy) He had the stent in for 14 days the first time and then had the procedure repeated today. The first procedure resulted in questionable removal of stones due to excessive amount of blood in his kidney (left). The dr said it was like trying to see in a muddy pond. The repeat procedure seemed to go better today, although still alot of blood. His body temp is now 95 degrees, 4 hours post surgery. Should we be concerned? He is also in an exceptional amount of pain (nurse just gave him dilaudid). HELP! 44 yr old male, 6ft, 212lbs, asthmatic, ADHD w/high triglyscerides.
Hi, I am very sorry to know about your husband condition. The procedure your husband could have undergone might have been either PCNL (percutaneous nephrolithotomy - removing kidney stone through a small hole in the back) or AIRS (retrograde intro renal surgery - removing kidney stone through natural urinary passage with laser). In both surgeries blood in urine is common. PCNL is associated with more blood loss and pain than AIRS. Your treating Urologist will be closely monitoring your husbands progress using vital signs (pulse rate, blood pressure, urine output), hemoglobin level and ultrasonogram to know the amount of blood loss. Even a Chat Doctor. There are

Hi, I have pregnancy for 9 weeks now, the latest scan was done on 10th Sep,2010 which showed a collection of blood 2.5cm X 0.5 cm right superior the sac, Two week earlier also a scan was done and collection of blood which was 1.7 cm X 0.7 cm. I am currently on Progestreron tables apart from Folic acide and injection HC CR2500 IU every third day from 10th onwards till 16th. There is also an anterior wall intra mural fibroiod of 2.2 cm X 2.3 cm. and subserous fibroid as 1.8 cm X 1.5 cm. Foetal Heart is positive. Based on the above data is there anything to be worried about as doctor asked to get admitted to hospital or take complete bed rest. I want to take a second opinion. Will appreciate if I get the opinion.
Hi, This shows a chorionic collection, which has slightly increased since the previous scan of 7 weeks. This usually indicates that there is a slightly 10% increased chances of miscarriage. Which is why the above medications have been given to you. Do not worry as many of these collections resolve and women generally have a normal pregnancy, with a few having a slight increased chance of preterm delivery. Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi my dad fell and theres a huge swelling in the middle of his back even covering the spine area - it is huge - bigger than my entire hand. I put ice on it but it seems to be getting bigger and bruising - theres no pain though. he has recently been quite ill with post shingles pain in right arm. he also had a catheter for over a month which caused infection and is also a dialysis patient - also has history of aneurism of the aorta. Hes quite a strong soldier. Very weak after the infection and post shingles. Always unsteady after dialysis. The huge lump on the spinal area after his fall is bothering me. The last time he fell I drove him to the ER coz he had trouble breathing and had a slight fit. Hes been in and out of high care and home for afew days but still weak and cant sleep. He forgets and tries to wake up out of the bed and falls......please tell me if I should worry about the lump on back or hang on till the morning for the doctor to see him. the lump is atleast 15cm long and 8cm wide.
Hi, dear thanks or the query. In my opinion this lump is definitely cause for worry and needs to be attended urgtly-STAT. It could be life endangering if you wait till moving. Shift him to nearby hospital. In my opinion could be post-traumatic hematoma. Still in view of the history of Cancer and dialysis and aneurysm of aorta, your fathers' case is critical due to the inbuilt risks to life in the event of the huge back swelling -post fall, though prima facie it is due to the post-traumatic hematoma-which is growing -which is the cause for worry. Thnks. Hope you would ugly shift to ER. Hope you got the right answer Welcome again. Take Care ugly by shifting your father to ER for further care.

Hello, Im 31 years old, i did 3 times SGPT test, the first time it was 88 , second 99 and 3rd time 126.In my test only the SGPT is high and all the other result are very gd, i drink slchool once or twice per month, but always before 15 days i dont drink alchool, i drink a lot of water, but i was so stresses at work for a while. I dont take any type of medicines, i dont smoke . most of my food are healthy, Can u plz advise what to do to reduce the SGPT level to the normal? And what i need to eat, what type of vegetables is advisable to eat and now im doing sports exercises each day, i have hg 1.71 mtr , wt 77, thank you
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. SGPT or alpine aminotranferase (A L T) is primarily found in liver. The normal value of A L T is 5-50 I U. In your case as this level is progressively increasing. Your food is healthy, and you are doing regular exercise that's a good thing. In my opinion get in ultrasound of liver with M R I so that exact reason of elevation of A L T (SGPT) can be found out. Consult a gastroenterologist and get his opinion as diet alone will not be able to cure this level. Good luck.

I am 17 years old. I have been getting pain by my molar and premolar. Its also my sensitive teeth. The pain is worse at night. A month or so ago, I went for an x ray for my wisdoms and they are impacted so Dr said I have to wear my retainers every night. The roots of wisdoms are not yet out. But the pain is severe that I cant wear my retainers. What should I do? My teeth are sensitive to cold and heat. Its only on my right side.
Hi, As per your queries, it seems that pain in between molar and premolar teeth along with sensitivity that is more at night seems to be decay in either your molar or premolar tooth over the wall of tooth that lies in contact with the adjacent tooth. Such decay is not visible and is a common cause for pain in tooth due to deep decay. Sensitivity to hot and cold is also due to it. It does not seem to be due to wisdom tooth. I would suggest you to consult a Dentist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like x-ray will be done. In case of deep decay you will be advised root canal treatment of tooth followed by a course of antibiotics and painkillers. It will be followed by capping of the tooth. As of now take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen for pain and apply desensitizing toothpaste over the tooth. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My name is Mr Stanley i was diagnosed with a toxic liver in the year 2010 when i was feeling much tired and pains all over my body even when i am less busy doing anything..I took some medications then..Now we are in the year 2013 I still went for a test and the result shows HBs Antigen(SERODIA)=Positive....But Anti-HBs Antibody(Serodia) = negative..In that case i am having much headache now and at times blurred vision..what do i do?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. It would be easier if you've posted other hepatitis b markers, but it means that you are infected by hepatitis probably and the antibodies down develop yet, so it may indicate acute hepatitis b infection. Blurred vision isn't usually sign of such infections, and it is seen only in late liver damage, so it should be evaluated NY ophthalmologist or neurologist. Wish you good health. Regards

i have braces. prior to having them i had a gap. my teeth are closing as well as expected but through these last tightenings i have been noticing that the gum between my 2 front teeth are getting squeezed and it is elongating as well. i don t have an abnormal frenum that would need to be surgically removed but at the same time i don t see how this gap is going to close without the skin between my incisors being either clipped or pushed back.
Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, After reading your history I suspect there is entrapment of the gingival tissue that is incisive papillae in between your upper front teeth. This might be overhanging as a tissue overgrowth on the palatal side of the teeth. Nothing to worry about, consult a dentist and get the examination done, the gingival over growth can be excised surgically ANF the gingival can be reshaped. After excision antibiotic and analgesic coverage is must prevent infection of the site and to promote healing. I hope this helps, take care.

Hi I am looking for a neuro medical doctor for my father who is paralysed and unconconsious at present due to severe convulsions attacks ,this started when he had his brain tumour surgery in 2006,it was a right frontal bone removal surgery and soon after that he had these seizures an later on turned in to massive which lead him to bedridden and now he has trausteomy pipe through his lungs so he is not able to speak as itss ove rthe vocal code .i want you to suggest and explain what precautions we didn t apply that took him to this stage ?secondly does it happens to every single patient dealing with brain surgery?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is unfortunate to note that your father is paralyzed after the surgery and convulsions. It is not common to have seizures (convulsions) and paralysis after surgery. However, in some cases, it may happen. We need the following information to answer your query better: 1. Where was the tumor located and its size etc-MRI report would tell us all this information.2. What surgery was done-you mentioned frontal bone, which seems to be incorrect-the discharge summary would mention that.3. Was there any complication during surgery, such as bleeding at the site of surgery. Please get back with the details. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,I am writing for my daughter, staying away from us, with her husband. She is 30 years, 5 feet 1 inch and 63 kg, working in the IT sector. She is married for the last three years and seriously trying for conception from a year. She missed her period once in the beginning of this year. During her obstetrics consultation, beta hCG was done. It was repeated after two days. A transvaginal ultrasound scan was done and repeated after 10 days. The end result was diagnosed as a blighted ovum. So, it was evacuated by D and C.Our daughter is of normal build and nutrition. Her menstrual history was normal since the beginning in terms of cycle, duration, and flow. But, one month after D and C, she did not have her period. On the doctor's advice, she took some medicines and bleeding occurred. She was known hypothyroid. So, she was taking Thyroxin 50 or 75 to keep the TSH near about 2.5 Uiu/ml. Her Hb % and sugar are within the normal range.Again, she tried to conceive since three months ago along with Aspirin and folic acid. She missed her period last month. Her beta hCG was 9.20 mIu/ mL. It was repeated after two days. It came down to 1 Miu/ml suggestive of \chemical pregnancy\. This time, after a few days, a spontaneous jelly-like bleeding occurred for two days. I would like to add that her husband requires to take Penegra 50 mg tab before a performance. Our daughter is immunized with triple antigen, polio, MMR, chickenpox and hepatitis B vaccine in childhood. The transvaginal scan (done at a later phase of the first conception) showed normal anatomical and physiological pattern of the ovary and uterus to me at least (report attached).Two consecutive miscarriages brought great disappointment to all. Presently, the doctor told her to take Aspirin 150 mg, folic acid, and Vitamin B12 combination tablet and to try for pregnancy again. I want your valuable opinion regarding subsequent management or the right line of treatment and suggestions or tests (if any) to get a successful pregnancy and healthy baby.
Hello. I have gone through your daughter\s reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Hope this helps. Regards. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online Take care.

Hello Thanks for writing to your semen analysis report suggests infection with decreased sperm count and motility. Infection is indicated by the presence of pus cells in semen. Normally there shouldn't be any pus cells in semen. Infection may be due to prostatitis, UTI etc. You need antibiotics for infection. You need few more investigations like routine hologram, RBS,Ultrasound of pelvis should be done. Trans rectal sonography of prostate can be done if needed. Proper antibiotics should be prescribed depending upon sensitivity report. You also have low sperm motility. Sperm motility should be at least 55 %. Sperm count is also low, it should be at least 20 millions/ml. Fertility will definitely improve with control of infection. You should do exercise and take nutritious food. You should avoid tight underpants. Avoid cigarettes and alcohol if you take these things. If low sperm count and motility persists then you may need assisted fertilization techniques like GUI. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

I will be 28 in August. Active woman. Grew up downhill skiing, biking, hiking. Was working out at least 3-4 times a week. This past winter got to me and I did not do much for the first time in my life. I find myself always exhausted. I work in an office setting, sitting most the day. I have tried to get back into the gym and I just feel too tired to try (far from the case 1 year ago). I get between 5-8 hours of sleep every night. I am so tired when I get home around 3pm that I nap almost daily. I am so sick of this and need to workout (little flabby tummy for the first time in my life), I have tried vitamins and am getting no energy. Help!!
Hi, I think that your body is accustomed to the exercises. Which you have stopped for a while. Slowly go back to the exercises with slow pace and increase the intensity Gradually. What you need to focus is more on the cardio and strengthening exercises. Chat Doctor. I am sure you should be able to come out of this situation. Balancing a proper fluid during exercise and intensity of it will get back a strength in you. Thank you

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...hi i am 31 years oldi am 12 years completed in my marriage lifei need one answerri have problem in cytomegalo virusnow my test report showing more than 500 u/ml
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query and I understand your concern. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that can infect almost anyone. Actually, most people don't know they have CMV because it rarely causes symptoms. However, if you are planing to get pregnant or have a weakened immune system, CMV is cause for concern. Once infected with CMV, your body retains the virus for life. You do not mention any symptom, except the test report results. However, need treatment when they're having symptoms of CMV infection, such as pneumonia. The kind of treatment depends on the symptoms and their severity. If treatment is needed, its most often in the form of antiviral Chat Doctor. Antiviral

Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your question. You are trying for last 3 years to conceive. Have you done any kind of reports?? If no, then should consult a gynecologist and do some simple reports like 1. Ovulation profile 2. SG hist salting graph if needed. 3.thyroid profile. These reports help to find any abnormality if it is there. If needed then you should do semen analysis of your partner. As far as your weight is concerned 64Β kg is not a matter of concern. Have a healthy life...

My female friend is suffering from muscular dystrophy. She is 23 yrs old. She has symptoms such as: 1. Can t walk now (she could till 1 month b4). 2. Sleeps 19 hours a day. 3. Has droopy eyelids. 4. Has breathing problem during the sleep. She is depressed. She thinks she will die. I am upset.
Hello, As you must have known much about the muscular dystrophy I will not stretch more on it. The symptoms indicate that she needs to undergo physiotherapy guided exercises to improve the overall well-being. The exercise will include strengthening exercises, breathing exercises, gait training, etc. Once the physiotherapist assist the muscles which needs attention he/she will guide towards the best possible rehabilitation training program which will help your friend to overcome this muscle weakness. As of now we don't have any medicine to possibly stop the progression of the muscular dystrophy. We need to work behind improving the quality of life and make them independent as much as we can. In my clinical practice of over 12 years most muscular dystrophy cases have responded well to physiotherapy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

This mornin after sex I noticed blood in my sperm. It hurt when I came and thats when I noticed the blood. I have a small amount of blood that dripped out in my boxers later on in the day. No blood when I pee but it stings a little. What is it and what do I do.
Dear, We understand your concerns went through your details. Seeing blood in the semen can make a man anxious. Fortunately, it doesn't always signal a major medical problem. If you are younger than 40 with no related symptoms and no risk factors for underlying medical conditions, blood in semen often disappears on its own. The most common cause of blood in the semen is inflammation or infection. There are other conditions too which can lead to blood in semen. Wait and watch for another weak. If the incident repeats itself, you may consult a urologist. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute detail possible. Hope this answers your query. Further clarifications are welcome. Good luck. Take care.

Hello my daughter fell in the shower the other day and hit her head she seemed fine just a little sore now she has a fever stomach and crusty swollen eyes when she wakes up that are blood shot she also went swimming in lake Erie about a week ago Im not sure why she is sick like this.
Hello, The blood shot eyes with crusting is because of the conjunctivitis I presume which she contracted in the swimming pool. Swimming pools infections need a thorough investigation by a competent ophthalmologist. I suggest you please consult one soon. Avoid self medications. The fever might not be related to the conjunctivitis. Though it is not rare to have both together but considering the situation I suggest you to get the eyes examined first.

Hi welcome to ChatDoctorThe spine, a row of 26 bones in your back, allows you to stand up straight and bend over. The spine also protects your spinal cord from being hurt. Spinal stenosis is caused by narrowing of spinal canal . Spinal stenosis is most common in men and women over 50 years old. Younger people who were born with a narrow spinal canal or who hurt their spines may get spinal stenosis. Constant back pain

I have Parkinson s disease and have been taking Mirape, Stalevo 200 and Amantadine. my symptoms were pretty much controlled until I fell a year ago breaking my hip. After surgery for hip replacement, I had to have a second surgery due to failure of the first replacement. I have recovered from the effect of the surgery but have experienced a number of health problems since the surgery. I have had several back problems that have been treated by pain care physicians . I still have some pain in my lower back. My greater problem is my blood pressure which fluctuates from 185/104 to 85/54 and my feet are both excessively swollen and my movement is terribly affected (these are recent developments). I have been freezing up, have difficulty turning over in bed and my tremor is much worse. I have taken Mirapex (1 mg 4 X day) for several years; have been taking Stalevo 150 for several years but less time than the Mirapex. I was taking Stalevo 150 (4 X day) but changed to the 200 during the past few months (4Xday); The Amantadine was added in January of this year(twice a day). Can you help me?
Hi and pleased to answer you. First, from the medical literatures we learn that in Parkinson people there is a major reduction of bone mass density. A low bone mass is related to the fracture and to the spin pains. Second, blood pressure abnormalities have been known in Parkinson diseases patients. And last, your Parkinson diseases is badly controlled. I suggest you to consult an internal medicine to check you osteoporosis, and your hypertension, in order to control it both and to change the modalities' treatment of your Parkinson diseases. May this help you best wishes

This month still i dint get my periods,worrying more about it. There s no symptoms of periods too. After copper T insertion this month was the first time got that fluid inside my vagina. before that we never let that to go inside my vagina. please help me to clarify my question.. whether am i Pregnant ? or it maybe due to someting else?
Hello, Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. In the current scenario, it is more likely that you are experiencing some hormone imbalance. If the intercourse occurred during the fertile period, however, pregnancy has to be excluded through a home pregnancy test done 3-7 days after the expected period with a fresh early morning sample of urine or the blood test. The chances of failure are very low with the IUD. A sonogram of the pelvis, preferably in the trans-vaginal route will help to clarify further. Hope this helps.

I have a 9 year old client who cries in the morning when her mother wakes her up. Daughter says she is crying because she is crying. Daughter is doing well in school, has friends, is from a caring family. She is the youngers of 3. She is very intellegent, does well in school, is active, healthy.
DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. There is an old saying which goes as Crying child Chat Doctor. This 9 year young child is doing the same. You must inquire for how many days the present behavior is present and what is the frequency. At what time the child is woken? What are the waking methods? Do the parents force? Do the child fear studying immediately after waking up? I am sure there is a missing link. Talk to the parents and child. Child may not be able to provide more information as of now. But once you build rapport with her, she will divulge more. Just use simple counseling methods of reassurances and calming. I don't think behavior modification methods are needed here.

I m a 19 year old female and very active. Lately I ve been getting chest pains just on the left side in the evening every night. I also have a lump that is hard, unmovable, large and is near my submandibular lymph node. I noticed it a couple weeks ago and it is getting larger. Are these two things connected and what might either/both of these mean?
Yellowest pain in left side may be due to many causes like cardio-pulmonary causes, musculoskeletal reasons etc. You need proper clinical examination and few investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, chest X-ray (PA view). Ultrasound of abdomen and ECG can be done if needed. Cardiac cause is unlikely due to your age. Pain may be due to chest infection, pleural effusion, muscle spasm etc. Enlarged swelling near submandibular gland may be due to infection/inflammation in throat, neck etc. It is most likely not related to left sided chest pain. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

My 9 year old has had a fever since Feb 9th. Started with a double ear infection/ tonsilitus. The fever said through day 4 of amocillian (10 days dose) she went back to doctor and still had ear infection and tonsiliuts. She was switched to Suprax stayed on that for 3 days (7 day dose) still had high fever, now shes been treated for sinutius and a form of phenmonia. She is taking a 14 day dose of clymindamicin shes on day 4 and shes not had any fever Sun - Mon went ice skating monday and woke up Tues with a 99.8. Should I be worried.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, This Otis media or upper respiratory infection or sinusitis inn child Chat Doctor. She might require detailed history taking and thoroughly clinical-ENT examination by a specialist which must have consulted before starting the treatment. If her fever has gone now with the help of clindamycin as you said then you should continue with the medications along with symptomatic treatment. Here, there is no need to be worried as it look to be having the improvement. Do regular follow-up at your treating doctor.

Until I see my physio - which is in 3 days time - is there ANYTHING I can do to help lessen the pain? Pain in localized - burning and 7/10 - localized in my right bicep area.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Sorry to know about the pain and discomfort you are having. As you have an appointment with the physiotherapist in 3 days, the following measures can help reduce your pain.(i) avoid sudden neck movements(ii) do not use a pillow while sleeping(iii) avoid lifting heavy objects(iv) wear a soft collar if it is available(v) take over the counter pain relievers(vi) gently apply muscle relaxants and pain reliever ointments on your neck

I am a 33 year old girl. I am not sexually active although I am not a virgin . My partner and I don t have regular sex since he works abroad. When we are together, we have sex. I feel pain whenever we have sexual intercourse the first time. After the session is over, I get vaginal discharge which is brownish in colour. This happens whenever we have sex after a long time. Subsequent sessions become smooth later on. This time too, I had sex again for the first time after 8 years. Am i getting the pain because of having sex after a long time? Is the discharge brown due to blood? Is it a symptom of cancer?
Although your pain can be explained by you having sex after a long time, but the vaginal discharge cannot be. It may or may not be blood. Both, the pain and the discharge maybe the result of a simple infection which is quite common in this age, or it may be due to cancer. Having multiple sex partners is one of the predisposing factors for cervix cancer which can present like this. If your partner is having sex with multiple partners then also you maybe predisposed to cancer even if you are not having sex with anyone else. I would advise you to take Tab. Fluconazole 150Β mg twice daily and place a Clotrimazole pessary once daily in your vagina for a week. After that, you need to get a PAP smear done which will guide you in determining whether you have cancer or pre-cancer or nothing.

Hello! I may be being a tad over cautious here, but last night I fell on the stairs; my upper right thigh had a direct impact with the edge of a stair. It hurt however I slept it off- today was okay, but about 12 hours ago my thigh began to throb. I can no longer bend my leg without pain. I can stand on the afflicted leg, but attempting to crouch on it is impossible, as is crossing my legs and I m getting severe pain using it to climb the stairs. I do not have any bruises or swelling, but the pain I m having is unusual for a simple knock to the thigh. Could you give me some advice? Thank you!
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. It is quite possible that you might be having hair line feature that is causing this worsening pain and symptoms after 12 hours of fall. So in my opinion, you should first get done x-ray of affected thigh to rule out hairline fracture. If x-ray is normal then no need to worry about this. Sometimes inflammation in the injured muscle can cause worsening of symptoms after 6-10 hours. So avoid movements especially weight-bearing. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take painkiller and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Take proper bed rest with minimal mobilization. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks. But better to first get done x-ray to rule out hairline fracture. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi my age is 33 yrs (male), height 172cm, weight 78 Kg. I am suffering from lower back pain due to mild posterocentral protrusion of L5S1 disc indenting on the thecal sac from last 3 months. Have taken many treatments. Also taken treatment from neurologists & have taken muscles relaxation medicines for about 21 days regularly. Also taken physiotherapy treatment continuously for 1.5 months. Got temporary relief. But pain occurs again & again.Doing exercises regularly as suggested by the physiotherapist. What should I do for permanent relief?
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Disc protrusion is the cause of your pain, depends on how badly (grade).2. There are two ways to get rid of the pain, continuous exercises recommended and lying and sitting positions to be monitored - one way.3. Other way is to get operated / interventional procedures.4. So It's for you to decide what to do.5. If I am in your position, I would keep in practice the first option. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

I am studying BDP (Boaderline Personality Disorder) and am starting to believe that I also suffer from the syptoms. I am aware that it is common for hypochondria to form in the health industry so I am being pesamistic but would like a second opinion non the less.
When one is reading medical literature or psychiatric conditions sometimes reader feels that he or she is also suffering from that disorder. Borderline Personality Disorder is conceptualized in various ways by different theorists. ICD and DSM do have specific criteria. In my opinion, if you are not feeling considerable mental distress or problems in work, family or social sphere, there is no need to worry. If you are facing difficulties or have significant mental distress, then you should consult a psychiatrist. You should feel free to tell him what you have read and how you feel it applies to you. The psychiatrist will evaluate your condition and suggest interventions. I hope this answers your question.

Hi doctor,I have insomnia for a couple of weeks. These weeks are being the worst where I have sleepless nights. Last night, I took Trazadone 150 mg which was prescribed and slept. Then again after that, I went back to Trazadone 100 mg tonight along with Melatonin, but I did not get any sleep. Is there anything I can do tonight to get some sleep? How long does insomnia typically last? Am I at risk for anything fatal? Also, I am planning to go back to my GP later on.
Hi. First, we need to know the reason for insomnia. It is just insomnia, or it is due to depression or due to psychotic or due to a mood disorder. If there is any other underlying condition, then it is important to treat that condition. You can also follow some nonpharmacological way to manage your sleep problem. For more information consult a psychiatrist online

Hi I have sore stomach all the time around the lower stomach is. Get pain in middle and right. Like a burning feeling and comes up in my throat . What could this be. I m AAAAAAA 23 years old
Sean, I have several questions to ask of you.1. Have you been having nausea and/or vomiting?2. Are you taking any medications, either prescribed, over-the-counter, or illegal?3. How long have you had this problem?4. Have you noticed if it is in relation to meals or any other time or activity?5. Have your parents or siblings ever had anything like this previously?6. Have you noticed any blood in your vomits or stool?7. Have you had any bowel movements that are black and tarry?8. Have you been having diarrhea (loose stools) or noticed any other changes in stool? These questions will help narrow down the possible problem(s) you are having.

I had a root canal a week later I started having acid reflux. I thought it was caused by the root canal. I went to dentist and he said there was no problem with the root canal but I have a terrible taste in my mouth plus I loss my sense of taste. What could the problem be causing this?
Hi There is absolutely no connection between root canal treatment and acidic Redux, but since you are mentioning loss of taste as well, I suspect the adverse reaction of the anesthetic agent/technique. Since you haven't mentioned the location of the tooth treated upon, I am presuming it to be a lower one as this can be caused by lower anesthetic block and not possible with upper anesthetic block.therefore in case the tooth treated was an upper one, there is possibly any other cause than the dental treatment done, but if it was the lower tooth operated you might as well feel heaviness of tongue, numbness of lower lip and tingling sensation besides your present symptoms which is either due to nerve lesion caused by injection or the anesthetic agent itself. Hope this was helpful .take care.

Hi. Since last week I ve been feeling spasms in my chest followed by a warm rush of blood sensation. I actually went to emergency because of this and was admitted to hospital for a few days with tachycardia. They reduced my heart rate with beta blockers but never addressed theses spasm sensations which are more disturbing to me than the fast pulse.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Betablockers are known to cause bronchospasm. Beta receptors in bronchi are needed for bronchodilator, Especially beta 2 receptors. So whenever nonselective beta blockers are given, they will block the action of beta 2 mediated bronchodilator and cause bronchospasm. So better to start cardio selective beta blocker (beta 1 selective). It Is having only beta 1 action and no action on beta 2 receptors in bronchi, So no bronchospasm. Beta 1 receptors are present in heart so beta 1 antagonist (cardio selective beta blocker) will have effect only on heart. So consult your cardiologist and change to cardio selective beta blocker.

Hi my 23 ya daughter has had lower abdonimal pain since Monday night, she visited our doctor on Tuesday morning and he prescribed pain killers, these did not assist and we took her to the emergency dept they did a blood test and said that something was going on but the particular test they did was " non specific" they ruled out pregnancy and did an inernal for ovarian cysts, they thought it might be early stage appendicitis but sent her home as it is too early to do anything else.
Hello. I just read through your question. Appendicitis can start as generalized abdominal pain that, over time, localizes to the right lower part of the abdomen. It is typically accompanied by fever and vomiting. From the time of the onset of symptoms until the appendix ruptures is approximately 36-48 hours. So if the symptoms have been going on for longer than this, it is not appendicitis and another diagnosis should be considered.

I have a pricking and pushing, spasmodic pain in my lower abdomen since 2-3 weeks. An ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis shows a normal study . I have acidity and gastric problem specially early in the morning and subsides after having breakfast. My pain worsens the moment I get stressed.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, This can be treated with anti-spasmodic and gastric medicines along with antibiotics. Hope your doctor prescribed the same. Continue the same medicines as prescribed by your doctor. Chat Doctor. Do you have pain in left lower abdomen? In my opinion you can do barium meal 24 hour picture to rule out diverticulitis. Do you have fever, constipation or diarrhea? May be scope study will give clear picture. Also stool ova and cyst lab study will be useful to rule out meiosis. Wish you speedy recoveryThanks

Last month I had carpal tunnel surgery with 2 pregnancy tests given both were negative. I have missed my period this month so I took a pregnancy test. It came back positive. My tubes are tied, so went to my dr. She gave me a pregnancy test, came back positive, then a blood test, came back positive. Got an ultrasound done, and it showed a cyst on my cervix. Don t see a OB/GYM until Monday. Is the cyst causing the positives or could I be pregnant. Wait is killing me.
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the cyst in the cervix will not give positive test. The positive pregnancy test indicates pregnancy. But not finding anything ultrasound might be due to early pregnancy. So I suggest you to repeat the ultrasound after a week or 10 days. If still the ultrasound shows negative findings then the pregnancy will be ruled out and the cause for positive BChatDoctor test should be ruled out. The other causes of increase in BChatDoctor level are ovarian masses. So they need to be ruled out. The transvaginal ultrasound might be more accurate in diagnosing the pregnancy or any abnormality of uterus or ovaries. So repetition of ultrasound might help in diagnosis. Nothing to worry. Hope this helps. Best regards...

I am 30 years old and 4 months pregnancy.i have vaginal infection.i consulted the gynec.and she gave me taxim-o 200 (10 tabs).Till this date i took 3 dosage.when i went to the toilet and remove my panty i saw a tiny white worm.i shocked.Is this worm came out due to the antibiotic or my vaginal infection is serious.At this stage can i have sex with my husband?
HI, I understand your concern. The tiny white worm you have seems to be thread worm infestation of bowels. Vaginal infection is not likely to be due to such worm. Actually thread worms are known to cause anal / vaginal irritation & itching along with other digestive problems. You can discuss the thing with your doctor & take a dose of anti worm medicine containing Mebendazole . With his advice... to clear the problem. You can continue with the antibiotics prescribed to you for your vaginal infection.as per doctors advise. Thanks.

Sir I am a Tuberculosis patient and under Continuation Phase of DOTS therapy and have completed 4 months of medication. When I wake up this morning I noticed my upper lip is swollen, slightly numb and has got some light dots. Also I have got cold and runny nose from last 1 day. Other symptoms are that my chest has very slight tinkling now and then. Please help
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your problem. In my opinion you are having viral upper respiratory tract infection (URI) mostly. Swelling of upper lip is seen with URI due to angioedema. It is allergic reaction. And prompt treatment with antihistamines and oral steroids is needed. So better to consult doctor and discuss all these and start appropriate treatment. With proper treatment swelling of lip will reduce in 2-3 days. So don't worry much, just start treatment. And continue your DOTS treatment.

my dog bit my hand 2 days ago ... now my hand is swollen, feels warm to the touch (the back of it) and a small amount of puss is oozing from the initial bite wound ... I have some antibiotics left over from a previous injury that I am taking ... however my hand had quite a bit of swelling from yesterday to today ... the bite is inbetween my right index knuckle and the middle finger knuckle, a little closer to the index finger knuckle ... I have been putting hydrogen peroxide on it since it was bitten also,..the first day the redness was about 1 1/2 inches in diameter .. the next day (now) the redness is all the way down to my right wrist and whereas my hand was only slightly swollen, I can see that it is swollen all across the back of my hand now ... however the redness is not as intense as it was yesterday, but the swelling has expanded ... given that I am taking antibiotics and still treating with hydrogen peroxide do I have anything to really worry about ... if so, when do I make the call to go see a regular physician ..?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable with proper and adequate treatment. As the dog which has bitten the bite is in between the right index knuckle and the middle finger knuckle, a little closer to the index finger knuckle. As the redness is all the way down to your right wrist and whereas your hand was only slightly swollen it suggest me that you are having cellulitis of the affected area, so I suggest you to take both the vaccine and the serum. Antirabies vaccine should be taken on days 0,3,7,14 and 28. The vaccine should be taken to the deltoid by intramuscular route. The antirabies serum or rabies immunoglobulin should be taken around the wound as early as possible. I would suggest you to follow aforementioned treatment as soon as possible by contacting your doctor. Thank you.

My 3 year old son has UTI with E Coli count 10000 per Ml. doctor prescribed Taximo -3 ml 2 times and Citralka 10 ml 2 times, which we have done for 5 days. He is still getting fever with chills in the evening. We give p250 for fever. His feet and hand become cold and the rest of body becomes hot. Got a abdominal scan done to check if infection reached kidneys and was OK. Consulted another doctor who prescribed OFM -7 ml 2 times and Citralka 10 ml 3 times a day. Now what should i do
HI...an E Cold count 10000 per Ml ISA not suggestive of urinary tract infection and I think what your kid is having is just a viral illness and not UTI. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15Β mg/kg/dose (Maximum ceiling dose 500Β mg per dose) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. Regards -

Hi doc, I?m 39 year old with repeated gall bladder infections. means i have pain on right side of stomach, vomiting high fever, loss of appetite. is it that? What causes this infection? What are treatment options?
Gallstones are solid accumulations of the components of bile, which occur when the components of bile are not in correct proportion to each other. A gallstone blocking the outlet from the gallbladder usually causes acute gall bladder infection, so that bile cannot get out. The bile can become concentrated and infected, causing the condition. Chronic gall bladder infection occurs when the gallbladder walls have become permanently damaged by repeated attacks of acute gall bladder infection. Rare causes of gall bladder include severe burns or injury, massive systemic infection, severe illness, diabetes, obstruction by a tumor of the duct leaving the gallbladder, and certain uncommon infections of the gallbladder including bacteria and worms. To treatment includes removing the gallbladder, either immediately after diagnosis or after the patient has improved. Occasionally, patients witChatDoctorplications require surgery immediately after diagnosis. Patients who have infection with no gallstones have about a fifty percent chance of death if the gallbladder is not quickly removed. If the patient has other serious medical problems that may increase the risks of gallbladder removal surgery, the surgeon may decide to leave the gallbladder in place. In this case, an operation called a cholecystostomy may be performed to remove obstructing gallstones and Chat Doctor.

My sister had surgery a few years ago and had metal plates put in her back. the pain is excruciating. would it be safe for her to use those back stretchers that turn you upside down? I believe they are called inversion tables. also what types of exercise could she perform that will help her elevate the pain as well as loose weight. I believe is she weren t so heavy the pain would be less. is that true?
Inversion therapy doesn't provide lasting relief from back pain, and it's not safe for everyone. Inversion therapy involves hanging upside down, and the head-down position could be risky for anyone with high blood pressure, heart disease or glaucoma. BACK PAIN RELIEF:Lie on your stomach, and prop yourself on your elbows, lengthening your spine. Keep your shoulders back and neck long. Repeat 8 to 10 times. Kneel on all fours, with your knees under hips and hands under shoulders. Don't over-arch your lower back. Keep your neck long, your shoulders back and don't lock your elbows. Repeat 8 to 10 times. Lie on your back. Place a small flat cushion or book under your head. Keep your knees bent and together. Keep your upper body relaxed, and your chin gently tucked in. Repeat 8 to 10 times. Lie on your back. Place a small, flat cushion or book under your head. Bend your knees and keep your feet straight and hip-width apart. Keep your upper body relaxed, and your chin gently tucked in. Repeat 5 times.

**1. Since you yourself are a doctor, thus you are very well familiar that Medical termination of pregnancy laws remains the same even for Ayurveda. Under the act, abortion can be provided only by a registered medical practitioner who has the necessary qualification, training and experience in performing MTP and only at a place which has the facilities, meeting standards specified in the Rules and Regulations of the MTP Act. ii. Moreover, abortion is associated with serious complications, a few even life-threatening ones. Therefore, I do recommend all my patients to follow up with the treating doctor during and after the procedure. iii. Without an opportunity to physically examine the patient and monitor the process of termination, it is very unsafe and unethical on my part to suggest you the measures. So please visit your healthcare provider for safe termination.

Hello doctor,My nephew is 3-year-old and had injured his eye, and now doctor said suturing is required. So please tell me what is the outcome of corneal sutures, and is this a right treatment?
Hello. I am sorry to hear about the incident that happened with your nephew. The right treatment for this condition is to repair with suturing. However, it is to be seen what the size of the injury is, and if any other structures inside the eye have been damaged. If it is a small injury then like a small perforation, it might heal on its own, but a more significant injury has to be repaired.The visual outcome depends on the site of the injury. If the damage is in the center, then the visible result is guarded, but if the injury is in the periphery, you can expect a good visual outcome. I hope this will be of help to you. Take care.

hi,my mother was suffering from carniophryngioma.She was operated in aiims on 18 jan 2011 but the surgeon left a part of tumor attach from brain stem.after the surgery she regain her health but now she again suffering from the symptom like anorexia,dizziness,loose body balance.Aiims neurosurgeon suggest us radiotherapy treatment i want to consult how much effective it is and what is the cost of treatment..and which one is the best radiotherapy center
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, in my opinion, your mother is having local brain recurrence of craniopharyngioma. It is known to cause local recurrence. Her symptoms are mostly due to compression and pressure on surrounding brain areas because of tumor mass. So better to first get done MRI brain for the diagnosis of recurrence. And yes, radiotherapy is the only option for her. AIMS is best Institute for radiotherapy, so consult radiation oncologist and start appropriate radiotherapy.

17 yr old son, hit his right knee hard on pole of bed, instantly had severe headache, passed-out (fell asleep?), body jerked & eyes rolled for about 4 seconds, woke up with his face a little pale and can t remember what happened.... as if he just fell asleep, and no more headache. About 5 months ago, he said he also passed-out when he massaged his right shoulder and and felt something clicked . He woke up...as if he fell into a deep sleep. We re not sure if he had seizure before he woke up because he was alone in the house playing his favorite video game. Recent EEG showed abnormality but MRI and MRA are normal. Is this an epileptic attack? If so, what type of epilepsy is this and what is the appropriate medication and care for this condition? Thnks!
Hello Libya, The latest episode your son has had is suggestive of Pain induced Syncope. All the features described is fitting with a Syncope including the brief unrolling of eyes and jerks and waking up quickly without much confusion. The earlier episode while he was playing the Video game is more difficult to comment on as there were no eyewitnesses, and we are not exactly sure about the duration of the event.(how long he remained unconscious) Even this episode could have been brought on by Pain-the shoulder click. In Seizures many a time the EEG & MRI Brain can be Normal. The only worrying thing is the abnormality in the EEG. You could take a second opinion about the EEG to see if it's a significant abnormality. I say this because antiepileptic treatment is long term and hence we need to be reasonably sure about the diagnosis before medications are started. What is certain is that your son has tendency to lose consciousness when he encounters pain. He could lie down immediately in such circumstances or flex his legs close to the chest in a sitting position to avoid falls. I think you could wait on starting medications as the evidence is not overwhelming in favor of a Seizure. Discuss with your doctor regarding precautions you can take to avoid Syncope other than the ones I have mentioned above. Hope this helps!

Hi doctor,My age is 26 and having iron deficiency anemia. My Hb level is 11 but ferritin 18. Sometimes, I felt shortness of breath. Now, I am taking Iron medicine but when I quit taking iron tablets, my situation gets worse with time.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You can complete the course of Iron medication for 2 to 3 months according to your doctor\s prescription. It is not advisable to take Iron tablet randomly. Usually, at 11 gm Hb level, dyspnea does not occur. For your breathlessness, I suggest you investigate with chest X-ray and spirometry investigation. For that, you can consult a pulmonologist for chest examination. Meanwhile, complete the full course of Iron medication.
