Dear Doc! I have since the last year have been experiencing slower blood rate. Which is If i raise my hand, within 10-15 second, I get a prickly feeling. Also if i sit cross legged for 3-5 mins, legs go numb. Also have notice my memory is become very weak? cannot remember things that I heard 3-5 seconds ago. Are these related, and what do you reckon is the problem. I am a 37 year old male, above average weight, not obese.

Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. It appears you are showing possible early neuropathic changes. Possible calcium or potassium deficiencies can also cause this. 2. Conduction studies along with serum calcium and potassium is necessary. A thyroid hormone profile is necessary to rule out hypothyroidism.3. Take food rich in calcium like reign and calcium supplements. For potassium, avocado, fish, pulses, banana should help. 4. If nerve conduction studies are abnormal, It B12 supplements is necessary. Initially an infusion might be necessary to correct at the earliest followed later on by oral medication. Avoid alcohol.5. Have a nutritional diet and maintain an active life with moderate exercises. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

Hello doctor, I had this problem for three to four months when I pull back my foreskin it feels strain and kind of ticklish and itchy. I have been to the doctor and they just gave me Pevisone and it did not work. There is also a little white substance on the penis head. I do not know if it is smegma or not but it is smelly and I cannot seem to clean it. May my foreskin be dry or something? I have also done STD and test for urine infection.

Hello. Are you a diabetic or hypertensive? Have you ever tried oral medications for this? If yes, then which one? Do you have any urinary complaints like frequency, urgency, poor stream, nocturia, ChatDoctor. Take care.

Hello, I have sore gums on the right side of my mouth which developed last week and I discovered a pea sized lump under my right arm pit two nights ago. Today the sides of my jaw and chin ache. I have felt occasional light nausea over the part few days. I have also booked an appointment with my dentist and doctor for this week. I am concerned it could be cancer or even HIV. I am hoping it us just a less serious virus or infection. Should I be worried? Many thanksWilliam
|
Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Just a sore gum can not be an Oral cancer. It may be due to local infection in base of teeth and gums. As far as your arm pit lump is concerned, it may be due enlarged axillary lymph nodes. The usual causes are infection. But breast cancer also cause the axillary lymph node swelling.Thus, i advice you to have through physical examination by your Primary care physician and then consult a dentist for further management. Chin ache and muscle ache are due to referred pain from infection in gums or muscular pain. Please check ELISA or Western blot to rule out HIV. Hope this helps. Please reply for further queries. Wishing you good health.

Hi!!! Welcome to Chat Doctor community forum.... Long term use of NSAIDs can induce damage on the kidneys leading to tubular nephritis/necrosis... Probably the Chat Doctor. . I cannot comment more without a physical examination and evaluation... I would hence recommend you not report to your doctor. Don't take any more Motrin or alive... Your kidney functions needs to be evaluated and treated as accordingly... See a doctor as soon as possible....

|
Hello, I have studied your case and can assure you that you will be fine soon as knee replacement is very successful surgery. I would recommend you to take a new x-rays of the knee joint and show it to a knee replacement specialist. If there is any wrong placement of implant then it can be diagnosed with this. Sometimes there can be clot in calf and that can cause such pain so for this you need to get examined by a doctor. Also take calcium and vitamin D regularly. I hope this will solve your problem. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

Hi, i have a problem. Im currently sexually active and my period was supposed to come on on September 21st, and it is now October 5th. My partner and i have unprotected sex and he admitted to ejaculating. I took a home pregnancy test yesterday and it came u negative.
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion if there was pregnancy it would have been positive just after a week of missed period. As the test is negative the chance of pregnancy is rare. So relax. The delay in period can be due to stress regarding the thought of pregnancy. I suggest you to repeat the test and consult a doctor. If the test is negative you might need medicines for periods. So relax. Avoid stress. Best regards...

Hello doctor,I am suffering from eye floater problem since four years, in which, I see grey shapes in front of my eyes and also observing headache. My left eye vision is -3.1, and right eye vision is -1.8.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You are near-sighted (myopic) person. Seeing floaters points to the fact that there might be early changes of vitreous degeneration in your eye which itself is not a problem but it may cause undue traction on your retina. Here is what I suggest: You have to visit a vitreoretinal expert ophthalmologist and you have to get a dilated fundus examination. We have to rule out any areas of weakness in the retina and if found, they can safely be lasered. Kindly refrain from contact sports and chronic weightlifting like going to the gym for the time being I suggest starting Nepafenac eye ChatDoctor. For more information consult an eye care ophthalmologist online

I am a 73 year old woman in general good health. I take my own blood pressure at home periodically and am concerned about a big increase in the last few days. It usually ranges from 120/80 -140/90. Yesterday it was 161 over 100, and today 173/83. I ve never seen it this high. I have an appointment with my internist in 2 weeks, but I m worried about the risk of stroke or heart attack. I take Vytorin for cholesterol, baby aspirin daily and levothyroxine for Hashimoto s thyroiditis. Is there something I should be doing now?
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that these high blood pressure values could be related to different causes: 1- thyroid hormone imbalance. As you are taking levothyroxine, it would be necessary check your thyroid hormone levels to regulate the dose of levothyroxine.2- Other secondary causes of high blood pressure should be excluded. That is why I would recommend performing some other blood tests : - complete blood count for anemia-liver and kidney function tests for possible dysfunction- fasting glucose for diabetes-blood electrolytes for possible imbalance- inflammation tests (PCR, sedimentation rate). 3- If all the above-mentioned tests result normal, primary hypertension should be taken into consideration. In such case, you should discuss with your doctor on the possibility of starting antihypertensive therapy. Meanwhile, I would recommend some tips to help maintain a normal blood pressure: - reduce salt and caffeine intake-perform a lot of physical activity (walking, aerobics, recreational sports)- try to lose some weight if you are overweight. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should definitely rule out heart diseases for your symptoms. So get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I had a soft spot on top of my head that hurt when I touched it and would cause a slight headache. The soft spot has now changed into a small bump about the size of the end of my pinky finger. This spot now hurts constantly, especially if I touch it.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of a spot on the head that hurts on touching. This is most probably due to infected sebaceous cyst as this is the commonest reason if there is no other history like trauma or so. Another reason can an infected hematoma. I would suggest you to see a Doctor for clinical examinations and proper treatment may be with an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and supportive treatment. If advised go for incision and Chat Doctor.

Hello, Loosing weight is very important to regain fertility in a patient of PCs. It is said that even if you are able to shed 10% of your weight, you hall be able to get your periods back. To shed weightage low carboy Chat Doctor. Since patients of PCs have increased insulin resistance, you need METFORMIN to reduce the insulin resistance. Insulin resistance causes a build up of insulin and sugar levels in the blood which results increased production of male hormones in body. These increased levels of male hormones result in acne, infertility and WEIGHT GAIN. You must consult a dietician for the desired result as you are already 30 years and getting old as far as issue of pregnancy is concerned. Consult a Gynecologist or a physician and start taking METFORMIN 500 mg twice a day, under his advice. Thanks

i have been suffering from severe stomach pains and cramps along with severe boughts of watery stool movements. I have been given imodium, biscopan, nexium and recently Amitriptyline. My doctor doesnt know whats going on or how to manage this, do you?
|
HI. Severe stomach pains and cramps associated with severe bouts of watery stool movements may be due to gastroenteritis. Get the stool, blood and urine tested, also blood sugar to rule out diabetes, thyroid functions. Continue the medicines you have. Imodium should be taken only after a bout of loose stool and 6 capsules in 24 hours as a maximum dose. Do not take more than sic capsules. Adding a proper antibiotic against the intestinal bacteria and metronidazole should have helped you. Treatment of the primary medical problem if exists is a must. Amitryptilin has no role in such conditions, and you may please stop this in consultation of your Doctor. IF there is no relief, colonoscopy and CT scan of the abdomen may be needed. Consult a Gastroenterologist for proper evaluations and treatment.

Had sex for a few moments with my girlfriend and I did not cum inside her. I in fact had an orgasm several minutes later via oral. She started cramping the day after and has for about a week now. She was most likely close to or ovulating the day we were intimate. I did not have an orgasm earlier in the day before being with her so no sperm should have been present in my urethra. She is concerned that my pre-cum could have gotten inside her. I am 100% certain that I did not cum inside her. Her period is not due for another week but she is concerned. What are the chances she is pregnant from pre-cum or are the cramps a result of something else?
|
Hi, Thanks for your query. Possibilities of pregnancy have always been there with unprotected sex. Pre-ejaculation also contain sperm, so chances of pregnancy also be there. Ovulation time coincides with your intimate relation, so chances may be increased because sperm can survive for 5-6days time in vagina. Consult with a gynecologist if her overdue her period to rule out pregnancy. GOOD LUCK. Take care.

Is that an area for me to be concerned?

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.

HI doctor , I have been suffering from Dust allergy , running nose and sneezing for quite some time and one of my doct suggested me to have levosetride 5 mg tablet as a remedy . as of now i am really happy with the results and all of a sudden one of my friends pressed the panic key in me by saying that its a steroid and will cause side effects . I am equally worried with the fact that i am also undergoing my infertility treatment cos of the low sperm count . pls advice
|
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. First, please re-check the content of Levosetride 5 mg yourself. It is Levocetrizine 5 mg. It is not a steroid. Furthermore, it is an antihistamine which is used in allergies and itching. Common side effects are sedation, Chat Doctor. If you are not experiencing any of these, I would think you can continue using it for long period. I have not heard it to have any effect on infertility/infertility treatment.2. Personally I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you to identify the substances causing troubles to you and also to know how to avoid exposure to them.3. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.4. Regular breathing exercises and diet rich in vitamins and minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) will help you in a long run. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health. Thank you & Regards.

i have been suffering from chronic constipation from the age of 12, laterly diagnosed with IBS when i was 17. I am now 22 and suffering with, what i believe to be an severe IBS attack that i have never experienced before. 1 week ago i was severly constipated and took over the counter laxitives ( Ducolax) to try and relieve my bowels and ended up off work for 2 days with severe diahorrea coupled with excruciating stomach cramps which i had already been experiencing. other symptoms include nausea, dizziness and light headedness, shooting pain in either the inside of my upper right arm, outside of my left upper arm, just above my knees (right or left) hands or feet. ( the only way i can describe it is intermittent pulsating shooting pains that come and go with no triggers) constant fatigue, feeling the need to empty my bowels constantly and when i do its very ressurinsed pain, black foul smelling stools. for 1 week now i have hav a hot water bottle constantly on my stomach, been taking merbeverine IBS tablets and drinking peppermint or cammomile tea. this is something i have never experienced before and even changed to a low FODMAP diet to try and tackle what i think is an IBS attack. no change. Maybe related, i am on a contraceptive implant and have been for 2 years, i am now onto my 3rd week of a menstral cycle which is also unusual. any advice would be very much appreciated. Laura

It seems that you have been suffering from deny Chat Doctor. Also keep in mind that if you take delivering it will result in slowing of your intestines hence again causing an episode of constipation.

Dear doctor,For a couple of weeks, I had a tingling in my left foot (under the pinky toe). Then one day after, the sensation was positioned in my right foot. It lasted for about two days, and then I had no symptoms. Now after a week, suddenly while reading, I notice the (vague) tingling sensation under my left knee. Does this sound like MS? I am really anxious. (I have health anxiety as well). I do not take any meds.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Your symptoms are not suggestive of MS (multiple sclerosis). So, you should not worry about this disorder. An electrolyte imbalance or a pinched nerve could lead to such complaints. For this reason, I would recommend performing some tests if the problem persists: Hope to have been helpful to you.

Hello doctor,I have a burning like pain on the upper back of my body between the shoulder bones. It happens almost every day after sitting for long or when I lie down for quite some time. What could this be?

Hello. The burning sensation in the upper back could be due to chronic bad posture and imbalance of the chest and back musculature strength. I recommend you to kindly check your posture and maintain it. Do some retraction exercises to help your upper back and neck. Sometimes this issue can accompany with neck stiffness as well. Do a lot of icing on your upper back and take frequent breaks. I suggest you do some stretching exercises at the workstation and ChatDoctor. Regards.

Hello,Fungal infection is not considered as sexually transmitted disease, because it is a normal pathogen in the genitals when ever there is a favorable environment it gets activated and produces his symptoms. If your partner is having the fungal infection it will create the favorable environment and may produce the symptoms. In case of fungal infection both the partners should take oral antifungal tablet and also apply antifungal cream on the genitals. Thank you.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion no treatment required for kids who are in contact with your FILM. Since colon cancer is not contagious, and it is not spreading by skin contact, no treatment required for contact persons including kids. And stage 4 colon cancer is inoperable and palliative treatment is the only thing we can do. Palliative treatment consists of1. Nutritional support in the form of multivitamins, proteins, calorie and carboy Chat Doctor. 2. Palliative chemotherapy to reduce pain and tumor size.3. Painkiller etc.

I hit with a softball just below my knee 2 days ago and have iced it and taken ibuprofen throughout the day, my whole lower leg is swollen and firm, a large bruise is forming and sometimes it feels like someone is pinching me under my skin. It is painful to walk and bend my knee. Do I need to see a doc or should I wait and see how it progresses over the next few days?
|
Hi you have been hit by a softball below knee and are having large bruise and swelling. It is painful and walking and bending knee is difficult. To me, it appears that you have probably torn some muscle like gastrocnemius and there is hematoma(blood clot formation) with spread to Calf causing pain and disability. Take complete bed rest with legs elevated on two pillows, painkillers, crepe bandage for few days. If it does not subside then go for medical check up including Doppler and x-rays.

Kinly advice me for further medical treatment and precautions if any.

Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of nerve root there can be tingling numbness in your arm and pain. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication like pregabalin and methylcobalamine can be started. Continue your Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Your Spondylitis will get aggravated due excessive travelling so better to avoid such travelling. If nerve compression becomes symptomatically severe then surgical decompression will give permanent relief. You can attach your MRI report or film so that I can help you better. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.

The doctor tells us that my husband has scared lungs. The only tests that have been done is a lung function test. He is on oxygen at night and whenever he s active. We are seeking a specialist for a second opinion. Are there other tests that can be done to give us more information? So far we have only been told that his breathing will continue to get worse.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. O can understand your situation and problem. You should definitely consult pulmonologist for your husband. As PFT (pulmonary function test) can determine only lung functions and not the scarring of lungs. For the diagnosis of lung scarring, following investigations are available.1. Chest x ray2. CT thorax3. Ventilation perfusion scan (VS scan). So better to consult pulmonologist and get done above-mentioned investigations to know the scarring of his lungs.

I think this is what i have...A swollen lump under the skin near the surgery wound may indicate a wound hematoma, a mass of clotted blood. Other symptoms of a hematoma include blood clots that drain from the wound and bleeding from the wound that does not stop.
|
Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Yes, you are right. The lump under skin near the surgery wound could be a hematoma, but it could also indicate an incisional hernia depending on the site of surgery regarding which you did not give any indication. I would rather advise you to take appointment with a general surgeon preferably the surgeon who operated upon you, and get it assessed by him for further investigation and management. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

My daughter (3 years old) has a hard knot behind her knee, in the bend of her leg. I have felt of it, pushed on it, however, she says it is not painful and she doesn t limp on it or shows any signs of discomfort. It is bigger than a golf ball in size. Is this something I need to be concerned about? Thanks, Angie

Hi I just want to know about Fertimod 50 mg i am taking it today were my last pill to drink I am scared for a Miscarriage again I had one last year 28 September 10 weeks My first time I fell pregnant. Just want to know how long its takes on Fertimod 50 mg My Doc said everything is okay with me:-) Thank you Nellie
|
Dear Nellie, Fatimid is a medicine which contains Camphene citrate as an active ingredient. This medicine has to be taken for 5 days, and then it initiates the egg release. So this medicine is for inducing egg release (ovulation). It is advisable to monitor ovulation by ultrasonography or LH estimation kits. Intercourse or GUI should be planned on the day of ovulation. This medicine should not be tried for more than 6 cycles. If within this period there is no success, some other medicines like BMG/Chat Doctor combination may be tried. I hope this helps you.

|
first there is no relation between it B12 deficiency and oral cancers. You might have had it B12 deficiency and oral ulcer co incidentally. Good that your oral ulcer is healing. If it doesn't heal or increasing in size you need to get it biopsied. But remember all oral ulcers are not cancers. We do biopsy to be on safer side. There are many causes of oral ulcers including the common authors ulcer to lichen plans

ANYTHING TO HELP US WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I still have monthly cycles on time, maybe a couple days sooner here or there. Please. Desparate an praying.
|
Hi, I think you can track your ovulation by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 cycles. But in your case, egg quality will be not good, so chances of pregnancy is less and abortions are more. So, IVF is a better option for you. Hope this helps. Regards Chat Doctor.

Welcome to Chat Doctor You need to understand that PCs problem causes problem in ovulation and also associated with Diabetes.

Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Weight gain is related to over eating or doing less exercises. Regarding multiple sclerosis (MS), it may contribute to weight gain. Firstly, steroids used for treating acute episodes of MS may lead to weight gain. Secondly, MS may lead to weakness of legs and fatigue, which can limit the ability to exercise. In general, the steps to weight loss are same in MS patients and those that do not have MS. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/

my husband received results from a ct scan pseudo bulge L 4-5 and has Bernard asked to go back to Dr for clinical correlation but he also has to go for radiotherapy for 11 weeks is there a risk something can happen to his lower back if he doesn t t see his Dr before his radiotherapy
|
Dear caring mistreatment of disc bulge can definitely be postponed in view of need for radiotherapy. But you can also take two treatment simultaneously. What are your symptom of back? If its back pain with radiculopathy take tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day plus tab vitamin B12 plus pregabalin 75Β mg at bedtime for 10 days. This will give symptomatic relief. Then after radiotherapy session is over take a visit to orthopedic surgeon nearby you.

I was told today that the result of recent xrays on my knees turned up a diagnosis of hypertrophy of the knees. I have osteo arthritis (since 2004) & am wondering what this is & how serious it is. I have been in pain all during the month of October 2011, but my symptoms have subsided this month. I was recently prescribed tramadol for the pain which I have been taking sparingly because I know it is habit forming.

Hello, Hypertrophy of knee bones are one of the associated symptoms in case of osteoarthritis. You should do following to have relief in case of arthritis:- Avoid frequent up or down on stairs.- Avoid cross leg positions.- Start doing some exercises like qua Chat Doctor. - Take a mild analgesic off and on like Advil for relief from pain.- Apply a local analgesic ointment and do warm water fomentation with water bag over the knee.- Take some supplements like glucosamine, Chen

Whay is the latest news in nerve regeneration? My daughter, 35 yrs old, woke up a month ago with half of her face paralysed. Today she had an electroshock therapy and was told that the facial nerve was dead. I heard about massages, like the ones for stroke victims, acupuncture , homeopatic treatment with germinium... We haven t tried any of this yet, but what are your recomendation? We d like to try everything possible before looking into nerve graft or plastic surgery . Thank you.
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Facial paralysis is commonly thought to occur due to herpes virus infection. It results in damage to the nerve, leading to paralysis of one half of the face. Treatment with medications such as acyclovir and prednisolone in the early phase of illness is useful in making the paralysis recover faster. Later on, treatment consists of facial exercises and galvanic stimulation, both of which can be done under the guidance of a physiotherapist. With proper treatment, about 95% people recover within three months. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

I have shiitake mushroom rash. I recently ingested some of the mushrooms at a restaurant. I began itching the following day. Each day the rash gets angrier and more intense. I have a scratch like rash all over my body. Huge raised long scratch looking marks. I have had the symptoms for nearly two weeks. I take allergy medication which takes the edge off, but does seem to completely get rid of the symptoms. I have teribble outbreaks and i do not know what iginites them. Once they start, they are there for hours and I itch the whole day. Starts on back of hands, feet, then scalp, then neck, and then all over my back. Is there some sort of detox that I can do to get this out of my system? Anything make it go away? I have no other allergies. I am not on any medications. thank you. Monica
|
Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. The condition you have referred to is called Urticaria or hives. It's an allergic manifestation of skin, where an allergen leads to release of certain substances from your blood, leading to itchy skin rash and swelling over soft tissues. Its proper management requires thorough history, clinical and laboratory work-up. You may have to go for specific tests like patch test, food prick test, IGE antibody levels etc. As for treatment part, best would be the avoidance of allergen as far as possible. Try to eliminate possible triggering foods from diet. I would also advise you various antihistamines for long duration(at least 3 months) with or without oral corticosteroids. For non-responding cases there are many other Chat Doctor. Hope this will help you in resolving your query. Thank you

Hello, Eosinophilic is a condition related to increased eosinophils in a blood test. Those values indicate mild eosinophilic. Eosinophils are found elevated in blood in cases of parasitic infection and in cases of allergic reactions, autoimmune diseases, etc. Only increased eosinophils are not sufficient to get a correct diagnosis and more evaluation is necessary to find the correct cause of increased eosinophils in your case. Discuss with your Doctor for these issues. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Right at the end of my two middle teethe are swollen, at the top.This had been thee for quite some time now but Im not sure how far this infection has spread. It once had a yellow pimple above the left tooth but thats gone. The right side alone swells sometimes. Somehow I feel that this affects my nerve system. When I touch that area, u get a slight pain running straight to my scull. Could this also be leading to hair thinning? I thought it was natural losing hair but its quite fast now and not only from the head. What should I tell the doc before I go for a check up. How bad can a dead tooth/ root canal be than? I also experience some joints problem sometimes which takes a massive time to recover. The swelling just never stops. I tried some antibiotics and omegas but no avail.

Hello, Swelling in between two upper teeth can be due to-periodontal infection resulting in bone loss or due to deep dental caries involving pulp tissue. I would suggest you to get a thorough clinical as well as x-ray evaluation done. Tooth has to be either extracted or root canal treated depending on the condition of underlying tootChatDoctorplete course of metronidazole as well as analgesics has to be administered.

Hello Santosh read your query and I understand your concern for your uncle. When fluid builds up inside the abdomen, it is known as Ascites. Ascites usually occurs when the liver stops working properly. Fluid fills the space between the lining of the abdomen and the organs. Tuberculosis can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract and is the sixth most frequent site of extrapulmonary involvement. Peritoneal tuberculosis occurs in three forms : wet type with ASCIIs, Chat Doctor. Yes, one of the extrapulmonary manifestations of TB is peritoneal involvement which can present as ascites.

Hello doctor,My dad is 78 years old. Recently, (one month back) he had acute left medullary infarct with hyperacute infarct of the midbrain. After which he is unable to open both of his eyelids on his own but can see when we lift the eyelids, also his voice was very low.After a month now his speech has improved but the eyelids issue is still there. Can you please suggest any treatment for his eyelids to open?
|
Hello. As you have described, your father had brain infarct after that he developed all symptoms related to eye right. So let me explain you that in case of stroke or infarct in the brain there will be involvement of cranial nerves also. The cranial nerve which is responsible for elevation of eyelid will also get affected in such situations like stroke. So the same thing has happened here in your father\s case. So for treatment of his eyelids, only surgery you can plan but you should consult oculoplastic surgeon for that. He is the one who will measure all the parameters and depending on that he will tell you which surgery he should undergo. So my advice is you should take your father to an oculoplastic surgeon for this problem. I hope this helps. Take care.

my wife was given susten 200 for 10 days after ovulation through an injection. After 14 days of ovulation, period happened but period was very light and short (2 days), usually it use to be for 3 days. Now, it is 18th day and I doubt that ovulation has happened. Will susten 200 affect subsequent ovulation.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Ovulation has happened or not you can tell either by monitoring daily basal temperature or using ovulation kits or ultrasound scan. Some symptoms of ovulation are abdominal and pelvic pain, white discharge. Austen is progesterone, natural sex hormone which helps in maintaining early pregnancy and avoid abortion. So it is given after ovulation so that if conception occur it should be managed. Austen doesn't effect subsequent ovulation. But after taking so many hormones you may get little variation in period length or ovulation timing. Hope I have been helpful . Regards Chat Doctor.

Hello, I have studied your case and reports with diligence. At your age there can be degenerative wear of bones, muscles, ligament and facet joint arthritis, due to deficiency of calcium, vitamin D, IT B12.so supplements of these nutrients can relieve pain.

I will advise you to do regular physiotherapy and exercises as my patients find much relief by these therapies. You may consult physiotherapist for guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case you need to take diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

What other symptoms should i be looking out for ? location - Bangalore.

Brief answer :Give cough and cold syrup alsoDetailed answer :Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. You are giving medicine for fever only while your child has cold also, in my opinion, you should give minaret Syrup 5ml three times a day for 3 days along with Cronin. If fever persists, then you need to do some investigations like CBC, NS1 Antigen test and probably put the child on antibiotics. I hope this will help you. Take care. Regards - Chat Doctor.

Neighbor suggested bed bugs.....Any ideas for us on what this might be?

Hi, The symptoms are referring bug bites, however, a photo of the affected skin area is highly recommended. The patients should start taking antihistamines medication. Usually, the itching will go away after the third week. If any sign of bacterial coinfection should discuss further with a dermatologist as might need prescription meds. Wish fast recovery.

Hi, my 15 month-old child just fell and hit his cheekbone on the stair. I could put ice only for a few seconds because he was crying too hard and would not let me.Now he s sleeping and from what I see his cheek is very red and he has a purple-blue line unde his eye starting from his temple. How worried should I be?
|
Hi!I'm sorry to hear that about your child. The bruise on your children face is due to the impact when he fell on the stairs. It is expected. It usually starts as red to purple-blue then after about 5 days it becomes green to yellow as it heals. How hard was the fall? Did he lose consciousness? Did he vomit? For now, what you can do is apply ice on the area and observe your child for 24-48 hours for any changes in his sensorial, increase sleepiness, and vomiting. If any of these signs is present, you have to bring him to your doctor. If you have any further verification, don't hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Handle Dulay-See, M.D. Pediatrician

Pls try to ans my quires fast i will be thank full

Hello friend, With a normal 28 days period, which started on 6th September, you have less chance of getting pregnant by the unprotected sex on 28th. Also, because you have taken the pill, it is not possibly going to happen. Only because your period has not come regularly this time, you need not get worried. The main reason is that you have taken the pill. It contains hormones. This will disturb your orchestration harmony of hormones and will get re established only after one or two periods. You did not say much about your sex. Was it with your regular partner? You had any mental disturbance during or following? Because such psychological reasons also can make problems in the regularity or rhythm of your periods by intervening the hormonal activity. Pregnancy can be confirmed or ruled out by blood or urine test 7-10 days after the possible day of conception. That means now you can very well do the test and take next steps accordingly. I am a Homeopath and so will not suggest any medicine to terminate pregnancy because Homeopathy believes in treating sick individuals and there is no Homeopathic remedy for inducing abortion. Personally I will not support a femicide also. With Best Wishes, Chat Doctor. J. Varese, Homoeopath.

I have been having pain in the front section of my thigh for days now, feels like deep bruise but no colour, and now have had a nose bleed. 3 months ago I had a blood transfusion , 2 pints as I was severely anaemic , should I be worried or just put it down to one of those things?
|
The most common side effects to transfusion are fever, chills and urticaria. The most potentially significant reactions include acute and delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions and bacterial contamination of blood products. During the early stages of a reaction it may be difficult to ascertain the cause. In case of chill and rigor it is advised to stop transfusion and give in evil 2 cc stat and cover the patient with blanket. Restart transfusion at a slower rate after chill and rigor stops.

I have recently noticed this shooting pain in my lower abdomen. My menstruation is normally very regular and lasts for almost 6 days with first two days heavy flow. but this month, i got the pain but no menstruation. also i get this feeling sometimes as though my uterus is coning down?Im 45 years old.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Your history is very much suggestive of a uterine prolapse. I would advise you to have an examination by the gynecologist, wherein she should examine by per-speculum examination while straining to see if there is descent of uterus with / without that of urinary bladder and / or rectum. She would also find a cause for the pain without actual menses. Ultrasonography and other blood and urine test will help in proper diagnosis by ruling out other causes of your feeling and problems.

Hi. I had breast cancer 5 years ago . I now have a bruised feeling on the under edge of my bottom left rib quite near to the centre of chest. I sometimes think it feels like a mass or lump to touch. Last week I noticed a severe pain which made me cry out. It was very localised pain. It only lasted a second like I had pricked myself with something sharp. This happened 3 or 4 times in a space of a couple of days. Now it just feels bruised to touch under the rib just to left of sternum.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is important to do a clinical evaluation of the painful lump which has appeared after treatment for breast cancer. This lump might be due to an infection in the region if it is painful. Usually pain is there due to release of chemicals which cause inflammation.

I am currently on prednisone for a chronic rash that has been occurring on a daily basis for about two months. High doses of Zurtech allowed me two days without symptoms, but then despite taking the same dose the rash started to occur again. The prednisone works for a short period of time, but not long enough to last till my next scheduled dose. What should I do?
|
Hello, Thanks for the query. You might be suffering from urticaria. Prednisolone can help you but at the same time it has many side effects. Better take treatment with anti histamines. Also try to find out what exactly is causing this rash. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubt. 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

hey my girlfriend and i had protected sex wednesday or thursday last week 7/13-7/14 and she said she feels stomach cramps in the middle of her stomach and they started monday 7/18 and she still has then now 7/22. I didnt come at all we just stopped. I was wondering if it was the kind of position i did that caused her pain in her stomach, i was wondering what you guys think i should do?
|
Hi. This is called dyspareunia, painful sex and has many causes. A particular position can be really causing this, should be avoided altogether. If there is pain in all positions, your partner needs investigations :Per vaginal examination by the Gynecologist to ascertain the cause and assisted by ultrasonography and / or CT scan. It may show the following. Salpingitis, Ovarian problem. PID-Pelvis inflammatory disease. Many times it can be due to unwillingness of your partner, or fear of something.

I was startled and got up very fast, when I took my first step I landed on the side of my foot; not my ankle. It automatically showed a bump and it s bruised. It hurts but its not too dramatic, when my footage resting the pain is gone. When will the bump and bruise go away?
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As mentioned in the history by you, you landed on the side of the foot, then getting a musculoskeletal assessment will be good on a safer note. Usually, at this position there is a sprain of the ligaments. Which takes about 2-3 weeks to recover. Also, the pain will come down in 2-3 days, but the ligament healing will take some time. Besides, if the foot gets swollen or painful after 72 hours of injury then an x-ray is advised. Usually, by doing hot eater fermentation and slow ankle toe movements the feet is better.

Hi, Your father was put on pacemaker for heart it's a small electrical device that signals the heart to pump. It has regularly monitored as advised by your cardiologist, in that letter they wound have mentioned No phasing meaning device is not generating signals. If it is Demand pacemaker then no issues as your heart is generating own impulses.Otherwise, you need to consult Electrophysiologist or cardiologist as advised.

I have had dizziness for 2 months. I was hospitalized for 3 days, all the tests have shown ok. The Neurologist said it is vestibular neuronitis. I have been patient waiting to get better. I went to visit Eye Dr and ENT Dr, they all told me they look ok too. Now Im seeing physical therapy. The first visit to physical therapy she found out I do have BPPV because she saw my right eye was moving while lying down. So she correct it with Epley Moneuver. It has been one week, my dizziness still there. Can you assist with my problem? How long the dizziness can last? Any other ways can make my dizziness go away? Can the Moneuver be repeat? How can Physical therapist tell if Epley Moneuver works or not? Thank you so much!
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. The fact that you have been experiencing dizziness for this long, does suggest you could be suffering from vertigo. The most common form of vertigo is BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). In this condition, crystals are former in the semicircular canal, which result in nystagmus (movement of the eye in the fashion the examiner described), vertigo (dizziness) in certain positions, etc. The mainstay treatment for BPPV is the Ella maneuver. This maneuver is a very tricky one, and can only be performed by an experienced and well-trained individual; through which the crystals are removed out from their current location. This might take more than one attempt, so yes, this can be repeated, and must be repeated till all the crystals can be removed. The Ella maneuver is designed in such a way, that the crystals should be expelled, but as this can vary from person-to-person, we cannot be completely sure whether they were expelled or not. What most therapists do is, to wait and watch if the patients complaints subside within 24 hours, and if the patient reports to him/her again, the first attempt was not completely successful. The dizziness will almost completely disappear immediately, provided your diagnosis of BPPV is accurate (and the cause for your vertigo) and the crystals are successfully expelled. In the meantime, you can request for medication, which patients with vertigo are usually treated (e.g. betahistine HY Chat Doctor. Please also make sure you do not make any swift head movements, and be slow while changing positions (supine to seated, standing to seated, etc.). I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/

Hello doctor,I have pain in left testicle. So, my doctor sent me for an ultrasound and varicocele was observed. He said everything is fine and it will go with medications. The medications he gave me are Zenflox Oz, NAC-SR 100 and Pantogen 40. When I reached home, I started researching online about varicocele. I was scared to find out it links to male infertility. Since my left testicle pains I am more scared.
|
Hello. I went through your post. Well, there is about 4 % possibility of infertility in people with varicocele, but usually, it is seen in people with bilateral varicocele. So, I do not think you should worry. Just take meds. If you are still concerned, do a semen analysis. That will relieve your anxiety. Regards. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online

I have been having pretty severe lower abdominal pain every day for the past 2 weeks. I have an appointment with a GI doc on Tues but Im not sure if I should go to urgent care beforehand or not. The pain starts around the same time every day (between 1:30-2:30)--it doesnt seem to matter what I eat or when I eat. The pain is in my lower stomach area (the whole area not specifically right or left and definitely central). When the severe cramping/pain subsides, Im sometimes left with a dull ache on the lower left side--but not always. It will last for 1-3 hrs per episode. Sometimes I will get 3-4 episodes per day. When an episode hits, it pretty much knocks me out. Im in severe pain--a heating pad is the only thing that remotely helps take the edge off and only sometimes. Im a 30 yr old very healthy female. I had my annual physical about 1 1/2 ago and all blood work came back normal. Any advice?
|
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. Lower abdominal pain without any particular site may be due to, Amoebas, Worm infestation, Salpingitis (both tube as in female). Physical examination is very important, so please get in it by gynecologist/physician, and they will find the exact nature of disease. Hope I have answered your question. If further any question I will help. Get well soon.

Hi there, was taken into hospital by ambulance with chest pain. I am 48 years old, didnt feel good all day. Woke with chest pain, which disappeared, later that evening chest pain became more severe. Arrival to hospital, after blood test my triponin level was 10 at 10am, then a further test was given at 1am and my triponin level went up to 1,500. My heart was tested with an angiogram, no damage was done. I then had a check to make sure i did not have a lung clot, all was negative. Why did i have such high triponin in my blood?
|
Troponin is a cardiac enzyme which is raised during heart attack and falls after heart attack. Probably your chest pain would have been relieved by medical treatment. As your angiogram does not reveal any block in the coronary arteries you might not be suffering from serious heart disease and that is why you were not subjected to angioplasty. However, you should be carefully followed for controlling the risk factor such as hypertension, diabetes and cholesterol etc. To avoid heart attack in the future.

Hello, I have studied your case. There is possibility of back muscles spasm due to excessive jumping. For these symptoms analgesic and muscle relaxant medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query.

Hello, Probably the most common cause of your sons' illness is a viral infection of the stomach and intestines. These parts of the body have muscular walls and can react to the virus by contacting and squeezing the stomach and intestines. As a result, there can be nausea, pain, and burping as the intestines and stomach become so active. In an otherwise healthy child, this type of illness usually lasts about 3 to 5 days. It is important to offer him fluids (maybe every 2 to 3 hours while awake) so he does not become deny Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My mother had stage 1a ovarian cancer just over a year ago and had a full hysterectomy. She gets tested every 3 months. Leading up the this past test her ca-125 have been below 10 which is the benchmark her MD set for her. Her last ca-125 elevated to 14. The woman on the phone told her she wants to see her in 4 weeks for another test. The woman also went onto tell my mother that the lab could have made an error, because this was the 2nd call today she had to make today with similar results ands he said it was pretty rare for that to happen(she may have just said this to make my mom feel better?). She had no chemo done since there was no evidence of cancer cells in surrounding lymph nodes. I know 0-35 is an average number for people. Are they still average for a person who previously had cancer though? Her usual levels are 5-8 and nearly doubled to 14 in 3 months. Honest opinion is sought after! Thanks in advance
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She had stage 1 ovarian cancer and treated by hysterectomy. Now her can 125 is 14. Though it is slightly increased, but it is still in normal range and no treatment is required. Such variation may occur due to many factors like laboratory and instrumental variation and many others. But she should repeat is every monthly for early detection of recurrence. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.

HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor. Your GOT and SGPT are mildly increased. It may be due to fatty liver. Mild increases also found now in patient infected with Hepatitis C. Liver enzymes increased in many conditions like liver injury due to hepatitis A or E, certain Chat Doctor. Alcohol also a cause.

hi...My mothere has a kidney problem doctor said that there is a blockage in a tube which passes the urine Comes out of kidney and also said that there is also a stone at the end of that tube which do not allow urine to pass through. What should i do know please tell me...???
|
Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! It will all depend on the size and location of the kidney stones. If it is smaller than 4Β mm then your mother can pass out the stone spontaneously with intake of 2 liters of fluid every day and alpha-blockers (e.g. tamsulosin alfusozin). Stones less than 4Β mm in size has an 80-90% chance of spontaneous passage. If the stones are bigger than options would include ESL (shockwave therapy) to fragment kidney stones and Ureteroscopy (inserting a small scope in the opening of the urine to remove the stone). A CT SONOGRAM would be needed to see the stone sizes and location to determine the next course of action. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor. Best wishes.

MY BROTHER IS SUFFERING FROM SHARP AND SUDDEN ABDOMINAL PAIN FROM LAST ONE YEAR. WE HAVE TRIED ALMOST 10 -12 DOCTORES BUT STILL DONT GET FINAL CONCLUSION, HE IS STILL SUFFERING FROM THE SAME, HE HAS LOST HIS 35 KG WT, AND UNABLE TO DIGEST ANYTHING.
|
Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor. You have not mentioned if he has also been investigated. Loss of a significant weight along with inability to digest food definitely requires routine blood investigations as well as special tests pertaining to Get (including endoscopy and biopsy). For a definite opinion you need to maintain a pain diary with precipitating factors and associated symptoms (if any e.g. diarrhea, flushing or sweating etc.). So, you must visit a Ge physician who will investigate your brother in a staged fashion and treat according to cause. Take care.

Hi. I,m a 47 year old female with no heart issues that I,m aware of. I am very stressed, but not overweight, my cholesterol is fine and so is my blood pressure. I am experiencing short stinging pains on the left side of my chest off and on just today. Its happened maybe 4 or 5 times. Ive also had a couple of small electrical shocks in the palm of my left hand. Would this be heart related.Thanks.Lynn
|
Hello. Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor. I read your concern. Now, chest pain coming from the heart can be of two types: angina, which is produced by a blockage in a coronary artery and is described more like a chest tenderness, heaviness that begins during physical activity, lasts 5-15 minutes and goes away after the physical activity is ceased or after using nitroglycerin under the tongue. The other type comes when the heart lining (pericardial sac) is inflammation and is described as a stabbing pain that worsens when lying down and decreases when sitting prone. My opinion is that this is not a chest pain with cardiac origin. It may be musculoskeletal or stress-induced pinching pain. I hope I was helpful. Take care.

For the last 2 nights in a row, I consumed 3-4 glasses of wine and then took NeoCitron 1-2 hours later. I did not realize how serious a mix that is (alcohol and acetaminophen) until this morning when I read the box. I then googled this combination and discovered that it can cause acute liver failure. Can this acute liver failure happen after just doing this two times? Or is it more something that happens to people who do this again and again over a period of time?

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Usually, much higher dosage of acetaminophen is required for liver failure, so this should not happen in your case. However, this was not good idea, and you should not repeated it, and you should reduce alcohol intake or take other painkillers if required. I hope I have answered you query.

yes, my 30 yea rold son has had a cough for over a month, got some treatment of steroid and antibiotic, got better for a few days and then started again. on wednesday went to the hospital had an x-ray done and they found that he had some haziness in the lungs. the doctor figured that is due to allergies and prescribed cortisone, antibiotic and some other meds for the cough. he hasn t improved much and I m concerned about the haziness of the lungs. what does haziness of the lungs mean and what can be the cause of it?

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your son is having chronic cough which is not improving with routine cough medicines. His chest x-ray is showing haziness. So possibility of pneumonia or tuberculosis is more. Haziness on chest x-ray is not due to allergy. It is almost always due to infection like pneumonia or tuberculosis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Sputum examination 3. Bronchoscopy if sputum is not available. Sputum examination is must for the identification or causative organism. He will need higher antibiotics or anti TB Chat Doctor. Don't worry, he will be alright. First diagnose him and them start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I understand your concern, but As her pancreatic shave margin biopsy is showing positive for tumor, it is better to give her Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy both. Recent studies have confirmed the beneficial effects of Chemo radiotherapy in these types of cases. The doctor who is treating her, would do her best, and will take his decision considering the benefits and risk due to Chemo and Radiotherapy. Wish her the good recovery.

Ive been feel pressure on my head, accompanied by redness on my face and chest. This have been happening multiple times throughout the day for about a week. I checked my blood pressure for the first time about 1hr ago and it was 139/88. I just checked it again and its 127/97. Why is my BP doing this and should I be concerned? Should I be taking anything?
|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms (redness in the face and chest) could be related to blood pressure fluctuations. Anyway, these blood pressure values are not concerning and do not need to be treated. I would like to know your age and gender. A hormonal imbalance or anxiety could like to such clinical scenario. If the problem persists, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and performing some tests: - a chest X-ray study- a resting ECG-thyroid hormone levels - complete blood count for anemia - blood electrolytes for electrolyte imbalance-kidney and liver function tests. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing good health,

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. I don't think that chronic pancreatitis can be caused by Burt defect. In most cases it can be regulated by medications which include insulin supplements and enzymes for digestion Also alcohol is forbidden in these cases, and you should eat less fatty food, less sugar and more vegetables and boiled food. Also, avoid cytotoxic medications. If there is no improvement then surgical therapy may be considered and include Chat Doctor. This is last option, and you should consult your doctor about this.

On May 5 went out to dinner with a group and got sick that evening (vomiting & diareaha) ~ blamed it on bad Mexican food although no one else got ill. since then, everytime I cut he grass, after about 15 minuites, I get chest pain high up in my pectorials and my left fore arm. I stop for 5 minuites and it goes away & I m fine. The cycle repeats for the 3 times it takes me to cut the grass. I will go to the gym in the evening and work out hard for 1 hr.(Bench press 250, squat 325, etc) without any problem. I tried to reproduce this on the stationary bike by hard pedeling getting my heart rate above 100 for 1/2 hr. I have no problem, can t reproduce the chest pain. After cutting he grass yesterday (same routine as before with the pain) going the gym last evening for hour with no problem, I woke up this morning with diarea. I m thinking of calling my Dr and setting up a stress test? or do I have a virus? or have I developed alergies to grass polen? Any advice? Thanx

Hi, Cardiac chest pain generally occurs after exertion or stress. It is never localized and occur diffusely over the whole chest. It decreases after rest. I do not think you have a cardiac chest pain. It looks like you could have been getting musculoskeletal pain at times which can be relieved after simple painkiller. I will still advise you to get the stress test done just to rule out any possible cardiac related thing. I will advise you for Stress Echo. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

my 2.5 yr old son is suffering from cough dry initially and now quite mucous for last one year. His latest x ray shows that he has accentuated bronchovascular markings. Nad he weighs only 13 kgs and ht is around 3 feets. He looks weak and chronic coughing . What should i do
|
Hi Can you please elaborate the symptoms. Is the cough associated with cold or breathlessness? Is there any family history of similar complaints? Is there any exposure to allergens or pollen? The accentuated bronchovascular markings on the x-ray chest can be because of repeated lower respiratory tract infections. You should visit a pediatrician for detailed evaluation as we need to rule out whether if it is cough variant asthma or if there is any evidence of lower respiratory tract infection like tuberculosis or any cardiac involvement.

I have been having pain in the center of my chest that feels like someone punched than it end in a throbbing feeling under right arm pit. The pain in chest only lasts for a second, but the throbbing lasts longer. Seems to happen after eating. Blood pressure is normal.

Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts. Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer frogger with Right diaphragmatic irritation with heavy meals with acid reflux. This causes center chest pain with throbbing pain in right armpit. Right Colonic Fleur would cause this type of right arm discomfort most probably. Center Chest pain is due to the Acid Reflux with HERD.check with Stool ova/cyst to rule out Guardians and rule out Enterocolitis in right hepatic Fleur of the colon with IBS. This is my advice in the given situation. Take care and wish you to recover fast and Live healthy. Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your family and specialist doctors there. Welcome for any further query in this regard. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. N.

Hi, I am Chitrendra Gaur. My father is 67 years old and have one kidney and one stunt also in Heart. The mentioned surgeries was done 7 years ago. Now he has been examined and tested for Kidney disease where he found Blood Urea 43, and Albumin in Urine +++.Kindly suggest how to get rid of these.Regards
|
According to the history your father is suffering from chronic kidney disease. But you didn't give me the history whether he has single kidney since birth or removed later due to infection. Whatever may be the reason, he is having protein leakage in urine. If the existing kidney size is normal, he needs renal biopsy if necessary. Consult good nephrologist nearby. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to consult me

i have a red rash , sometimes very itchy, in a line across my lower stomach/abdomen, from pelvic bone to pelvic bone. It varies from 1/4 to an inch in width. it is sometimes tender to the touch. On a couple occastions it has kept me up most of the night, due to itch and pain/ irritation . I did see a doctor for it, a week ago, who said was allergic reaction to something. I haven t changed laundry soap or done anything different that I know of. I did however rewash my clothes but that did not seemed to make a difference. I have tried taking Benadryl , ice packs but neither seem to have helped Any ideas what is causing this?
|
Hi, I have gone through your query with diligence and after reading your history it appears that you might have developed allergic dermatitis to some contact allergen. You recollect anything new coming in your contact before appearance of the rash. If itching is present then can take Ben Chat Doctor. Apply a plenty of moisturizers over the affected area. I advise you to not pinch or pop the area otherwise these areas are very prone for getting secondary infection. You can apply a steroid cream such as cortisone cream.

Hello doctor,I have had three scabs or sores on my body for a few months now and they did not heal. They are on my foot, back and hip. They are purple and red with a white dry patch over the top. They are extremely itchy. I also have a permanent rash on either side of my neck and outside my elbows. It is not a bumpy rash, more of red and has a silky feeling to it. I am slightly worried about what this could be. Please see the photos attached.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have seen your query and concern. Over the neck, it seems that you have Poikiloderma of Civatte (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Poikiloderma of Civatte refers to redness associated with a mottled pigmentation seen on the sides of the neck, more common in women. The cause is mainly chronic sun exposure. Prevention is to avoid sun exposure and to use sunscreens, avoid perfumes and cosmetics. There is no specific medical treatment exists for poikiloderma of Civatte. Avoiding sun exposure and proper use of sunscreen are most important. About sores or scab looks like lichen simplex chronicus. I suggest you HHSALIC ointment (Mometasone and Salicylic acid) twice daily for five days after consulting your GP. I can make out a few acrochordons over your neck. For them, the treatment is radiofrequency cautery.

Good evening Dr, I had knee pain and wait more than 4 months to see a specialist. He gave me cerebrex. Since then(1 month ago) I didnt take the cerebrex as I think it will not to help me. what can you tell me about that? next week I need to go to the Dr.
|
Hello, As you have knee pain then a multidisciplinary team approach of the orthopedist and physiotherapist must be implemented. As both works hand in hand by the oral supplement to reduce pain and exercise to regain strength. Most cases in my clinical experience of 12 years have been helped when a multidisciplinary team approach is made and planed the treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Breathlessness on exertion and neck pain are seen in bronchitis and heart diseases. So better to rule out these causes first. Consul doctor and get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring, ECG and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases. 2. Clinical examination of respiratory system, PUT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis and other lung related diseases. With proper treatment, you will definitely improve. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

80yr old female, history of breast cancer with right side mastectomy , recently bumped right arm just above right elbow and at first asymptomatic . 2 days later entire right arm +2 pitting edema from upper mid arm to fingertips, right arm is also a dark purple and mid upper arm is firm to touch. Her radial pulse is +2 and her lower arm and hand is slightly cool to touch and upper arm is warm. She is very confused but does grimace with pain when manipulating right arm. recent xray of shoulder and elbow show nothing broken. Could a contusion to the upper arm region cause bleeding inside the arm that would turn the entire arm dark purple all the way to her fingertips. She is not on blood thinners of any kind.
|
Hi Post mastectomy, there is chance of lymphedema of corresponding upper limb with swelling and pitting. IF it gets infected, it will become red or purple with local rise of temperature. Please give her good antibiotics, if possible two,anti-inflammatory medicines. She should keep her limb elevated. It will come down. But, the edema if at all due to breast cancer will be there. You should see that no injury occurs in that as it may lead to infection. Wish her speedy recoveryRegards

A friend of mine fell off a high ladder while putting up the Christmas Tree. She fell off, and hit the couch and bounced off that and hit something else. Her left leg swole up some and is in a lot of pain. She has been putting pain patches on it however this being the 4 or 5th day, she is still in a lot of pain, and insists that it will just take time for the pain to go away. She can t stay off the leg too much because of the work she does. She tries to elevate it when she can. What can she do to relieve the pain in her leg?
|
Hello, Your friend may have a muscle injury or a mild fracture if she had a hard hit. She should do following to have relief:- If possible get an x-ray done to rule out any bone injury-Apply an Ace bandage over the leg from below upward, from foot to above the knee.-Do not rub that area-Take a good analgesic like paracetamol or diclofenac on prescription with your doctor Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi Karen. What your current doctors tell you about the cause of pain. Sometime after cancer treatment stem cell in marrow show delayed recovery and this may cause pain. If this is the cause then be assured. You can take acetaminophen on as and when required basis. Any other cause of pain will need further evaluation. But since you already been evaluated for lymphoma I personally don't think that there could be any other cause. Moreover describe your pain on detail next time. Site duration radiation and any other special characteristic.

My husband has had 3 incidents since Sept. He gets hives all over and then his blood pressure drops so low I had to call 911. They said they thought he was not going to make it two of them times because his blood pressure was 40/20 and the last time barely any blood pressure at all. They have no reason why this happens. Now they are saying he might have a deadly skin disorder and there isn t anything they can do for him But he has to go to an allergist to be sure. It is a couple days before Christmas and can t get in right away. I am terrified this will happen again. I actually had to scream and shake him to respond to me the last time. His body shook all over and fell over. Is there something that I can do to help him?
|
Seems to be a case of allergy. I would suggest you to try and identify if these incidences were related to ingestion or contact with some food or substance like peanut, pulses or dust, any new plant or pet around. Keep him away from such allergens till you visit an allergist. There is nothing much you can do other than this and identifying similar episodes at the earliest. Keep an eye on any rash or urticaria he develops and immediately rush to ER so that the reaction can be managed at the earliest. Give been Chat Doctor. It might help till you get to ER. Hope this answers your question.
