ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello . I am 6 5 slender build . I have been noticing that when I lie down at night my heart will miss beats . Then when the next beat comes its much harder almost like I m getting punched . It happens every 10-50 beats and is starting to scare me . It almost feels like my heart is stopping then starting very violently. | Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms seem to be related to ectopic heart beats or possible cardiac arrhythmia. Do these symptoms occur only at night? Have you noticed any similar troubles during the day? Are your symptoms associated with difficulty breathing, changes in blood pressure or chest pain? Anxiety could also mimic this clinical situation and would explain the fact that you notice this only at night. I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x-ray and some lab blood tests (complete blood count, fasting glucose, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels, etc.). An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring and a cardiac ultrasound would be necessary to rule in/out possible cardiac arrhythmia if suspicions are raised. But, if all the above-mentioned tests result normal, the main cause of this clinical symptomatology would be just pure anxiety. In such a case, you should discuss with a specialist of this field to help you manage your anxiety. I would also advise reducing caffeine intake and perform a lot of physical activity. Hope to have been helpful! Feel free to ask any other questions, whenever you need. Greetings! |

So should be considered hair fall if number of hair more than this.2. Generalized hair fall in female is mostly due to stress, poor sleep, poor nutrition and excessive blood loss due to menstruation3.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have fatty liver disease, my liver hurting much of the day by the way, I have no credit card if this is the way it usually works-so if a credit card is needed then I must stop the contents. I have had a sharp pain in my lower right side and when I take my thumb and put it on my naval, my 2nd finger is where it hurts. the problem is that it didn t hurt al day yesterday just about 8 hours, went away then about l0:00 a.m it is back. could it be part of the fatty liver disease. I was of the understanding that an appendicitis attack does not go away therefore should I not worry about it or go to ER in case it is appendix. it s quite a shorp pain | Hi, I cannot say in your particular case without directly examining. Appendix pain is quite variable BUT is on the right mostly. It is mostly below the naval BUT, this varies. Appendicitis IS an emergency and not at all likely to continue without causing potentially fatal rupture for over a day. Fatty liver is quite common and obviously most people with it do not have significant pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I just accidentally swallowed part of a scone the wrong way and started coughing it up. I heard that if you don t get it all out, you can get pneumonia. This happened roughly 20 minutes ago and I now have chest pains and am still coughing some. Am I ok? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, you are right about pneumonia, it is called aspiration pneumonia. Any foreign body when aspirated and not removed completely can cause inflammatory reaction and swelling in lung. This later on can cause pneumonia. So better to rule out this at earliest point. So I advise you to consult pulmonologist and get done bronchoscopic examination and removal of particles if present.Don't worry, you will be alright. |

Please help me, it hurts and i cant stop peeing but it is just a tiny bit everytime, about every 5 minutes and the urine is clear. Please help me, it is very very uncomfortablr and hurts | Hi there. Thanks for writing in. You might be having a urinary tract infection... as evident by your symptoms like burning urination and increased frequency of urination. Any other suggestive symptoms like fever, nausea, vomiting, backache, or lower abdominal pain. For confirmation of the diagnosis as well as the choice of antibiotics, you will have to get a urine routine and culture and sensitivity done... So please visit your doctor regarding that. In the meantime, Chat Doctor. Periodic regular emptying of bladder is a must...even when you get better. Do pee every 3-4 hours, to ensure clean bladder. Avoid intercourse for 1 or 2 weeks. A glass or 2 of cranberry juice might help. You most probably do need to take a course of antibiotics ...do consult your physician. Take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had my right lower leg amputated August 15th 2011. For the past couple of months I have been developing a lump on the top of my leg down by the stump. It is sore when putting on my artificial leg, but doesn t really hurt. Is this something to be concerned about. Thanks, Colleen | Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor virtual Clinic. I studied your query in all the details put forth by you. I understood your health concerns. Cause of the health problems you queried-There are many causes of the sore lump on the top of the leg, after leg amputation like, Amputation neuroma, Amputation dermatomes(skin infections/infestations, Amputation wound Granuloma, Cracked stump skin, phantom limb pain/ soreness/ or a compromised skin circulation with skin wound and infection. As the soreness is while putting your artificial leg and is caused around the lump developed,-Cause in your case seems to be either from Amputation stump skin tag with sore skin eczema, or skin infection with soreness/ Or could be due to the Amputation neuroma-due to excessive lumpy mass of the amputated nerve end in the amputated leg stump. As I don't have any first-hand information or a photograph of the part, I suggest you to consult ER Ortho-surgeon, who would rule out other causes and would treat it according to the cause of this stump lump on the top of the amputated leg. Remedy-So till the time you consult ER Or tho Surgeon and get his definitive opinion after above investigations, DONT WORRY AT ALL but you need to be worried as it would complicate into some other serious problem with your amputee leg. And act fast on the above suggestions, which helps you to plan treatment with your ER OrthoSurgeon. Hope this would resolve your query with full satisfaction.

She is not able to nurse b/c the lip seems really sore, I am afraid it might be an allergic reaction(?) she had a severe allergic reaction that required an ER visit...though she tested negative for any allergies to tree nuts of all kinds. | Hi... just read through your question. This could be a starting stage of an allergic reaction. I suggest you take her to the nearest Emergency Room as soon as possible.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | In the past few weeks I have woken up with swollen lips 3 times. I ve has helped and the swelling has gone down. Today they feel a little tingly And irritated. Swelling has gone down. I have not worn make up for 2 weeks and have only used vasoline or Ice for relief. Could this be a new food allergy?email YYYY@YYYY . My name is Rachel and I am a 30 year old female. | Hello Rachel, Food allergy with lip tingling and swelling (angioedema) is likely provided you get the feeling immediately after eating the offending food. Any foods can cause this, but has to be almost immediately or within the hour. Blood pressure pills such as enalapril, captopril, trandolapril, lisinopril etc., so please ensure your current medications are checked with your doctor if you are on any. If now food allergies are unlikely, then this is idiopathic angioedema, and you need to be on cetirizine 10Β mg once daily for 1 month to see if this recurs. If it still recurs on antihistamine, please get complement proteins C3 C4 level checked. Best Wishes. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Sir, For past one month, my mother is saying she is hearing voices and says that the people in our apartment are planning to get rid of her from our house, although we are in our own house. From what she has told me, I understood she is imagining things.Today, early morning 4:30 she woke up me and saying that people are talking about her and she is afraid. No one is there and it is very silent. Kindly help me on how should approach | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you are concerned about your mothers recent problems. Hearing non-existent voices is called hallucinations and having false beliefs that people are going to harm her is indicative of delusions. Hallucinations and delusions are symptoms of a psychotic disorder. So, it appears that your mother has developed a psychotic illness. She needs to see a psychiatrist for a detailed psychological assessment and further treatment.Don't worry because there are effective treatment options for this problem. Treatment can be in the form of medication called anti-psychotics and psychotherapy, which can control her symptoms. So, please take her to a psychiatrist as early as possible for further evaluation and treatment. Wish you all the best. |

In my opinion there are various causes for bleeding during pregnancy like :-1)Thyroid abnormalities .2)Progesterone insufficiency.3)Abnormal pregnancy like miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.4)Bleeding from cervix.etc. So all the above causes should be ruled out by physical examination and necessary investigations. Ultrasound helps to know the well-being of fetus. Thyroid profile helps to rule out any thyroid abnormalities. As you are just 13 days pregnancy It's very early. So don't worry with appropriate medications it might get normal. Nothing to worry as in some cases even though with the presence of bleeding everything will be normal and pregnancy continues till term and have good outcome. Relax. Avoid physical stress and intercourse. Take folic acid and progesterone supplements. Once the cause is treated it will subside in most of the time. Hope this helps. Best regards... |

Almost all antiepileptic medications have some sort of adverse effects. But does not necessarily mean it will occur in all of them. The primary aim is to control epilepsy events (very important). I would suggest you to take the medications to avoid any epileptic episode. Have a regular follow up with your consultant and reduce/stop the dose only if the consultant advices you to. With regrading side effects, it would be helpful if you let us know if you are concerned about any specific issue. Thanks and all the best for your married life. |

I had an surgery for varicose vein 3 years before. so what i have to do now. whats the reason effecting my count. How can I increase my count and motility. Please answer me | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. Firstly, your sperm count is lower than normal (normal is 15million /ml as per WHO 2009). The motility is lower than normal (normal is >40% as per WHO 2009). The morphology of the sperm is within normal limit (>04% as per WHO 2009). So, your count and motility is substandard. For this, you have to be investigated thoroughly. Consult with an infertility specialist for ordering required investigation, for prescribing medication like coenzyme Q, vitamin E etc., and for further management. |

But I heard an issue that underlying or undiagnosed thyroid issue could become a terrible one during pregnancy. Do I need to consult an endocrinologist soon? Do these fluctuations are common in hyperthyroidism? | Hi. I have gone through the query. It appears that you have had subclinical hyperthyroidism. This condition needs regular follow up tests and consult an endocrinologist even if you are not undergoing treatment for hyperthyroidism. If you plan for pregnancy, then it is necessary to have a constant follow-up with an endocrinologist before and during pregnancy. Yes, fluctuations in thyroid function test are common. Take care. |

I suggest you not to worry much. You went to a doctor, and he opined that you have anxiety issues. You did not accept that doctors version. Why? Are you not confident about that doctor? If so, consult another doctor. Make sure you are satisfied with his diagnosis. For that you find a doctor who is credible. Then ask him to diagnose you properly and accept his diagnosis.

You need proper clinical examination and routine investigations.

It generally resolves near completely with time. How much time would vary on each individual. As the sternum is opened up for bypass surgery and during the surgery as many small twigs of nerves are cut while opening up the chest wall and harvesting grafts, you will have the chest pain till the sternal bone would heal, and the numbness should decrease over time. Till than you may take symptomatic treatment as per your local doctor and continue with cardiac rehabilitation. Regards Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 9 year old son has been sick a few times in his life. 3 days ago he had a bad fever, vomiting, body aches, etc. He was much better after 12 hrs of sleep and ate a bowl of chicken soup that stayed down. The next day he was stuffy so he took a childrens allegra, which helped. However, when he lays down to go to sleep he begins to cough and quickly it becomes an out of control cough which induces vomiting. Today he was fine all day except for the allergy symptoms, and at bedtime the coughing followed by vomiting. Ibelieve he has a post nasal drip he doesnt know how to cough up, hence the vomiting. He is drinking alot of Smart Water with electrolytes, good meals, allergy medicine, etc. but nothing is working to thin out the mucus that I think is the culprit. Do I rush to the ER with no fever or body aches? I dont know what else to do.... | You are right, the mucus secretions tricking down from behind the nose into the throat is the reason for cough and vomiting. Your child requires the following medication:1. Steam inhalation 3-4 times/day2. Encourage him to Chat Doctor. A bucolic such as bromine or aerosol or carbocystiene to relieve the secretions4. Saline nasal spray the symptoms do not subside consult your doctor for a complete examination and managementRegards |

When woman is aroused sexually, she gets copious vaginal discharge to facilitate easy penile entry. Such increased discharge has made your underwear wet. Please do not be under the stress of pregnancy. The stress itself may delay the menses, even in the absence of pregnancy. I hope this provides you assurance. |

We were actively trying to conceive for a second one. my LMP was 7/7/2014 i tested for Pregnancy through UPT kit on 10/8/2014 as my periods had not come. The test was negative so delay could be due to what reasons, may be PCODs. As i was diagnosed with PCOD before my first delivery but i conceived normally without any medications. So negative UPT means for sure that I am not pregnant. Rgd VS | Hello, after taking oral contraceptives it takes time For the return of fertility depending on the composition of the OCP used. Mostly women conceive after 6-12months. Have patience you have left OCP just a month ago. Your body needs time to adjust its proper hormone levels for fertility. Well controlled hypothyroidism and treated POD do not cause any problem in conceiving. Moreover, first normal delivery without medication is a very good sign for next successful pregnancy. If you are overweight for your age and height then in the meanwhile you can join a gym for 6Β months to reduce weight. |

I am just concerned because I am scared that I have some kind of anxiety disorder and not even know it. What should I do and am I over reacting? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. It is common to have a lot of strange sensations in the body during a panic attack. Numbness of the hands and legs, difficulty in breathing and chest discomfort are well known physical symptoms of anxiety.

And medications like Calls & Viagra increase blood flow to penis & maintains erection. It can also be improved by having a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts & honey.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello Doctor, I have two questions for you. First, what can a nephrologist do to help my 87 year old mother with an unexplained low sodium problem? Her GP wants her to see one and the appointment is set for next Tuesday. I understand that a nephrologist deals with acute kidney problems which has not been a problem for my mother. And second, is there any reason why I can t use salt tablets to help keep the sodium up until we see this doctor? Previously, my mother s GP and neurologist have looked at the medicines she s taking to no avail. Her neurologist has said that the low sodium led to a few of her seizures. My mother is a heart patient with an irregular heart beat. She had a pacemaker put in several years ago and had surgery to put in a stint in 2001. In addition to this, she s a Type II diabetic, has significant arthritis in her shoulders, knees, and hands, and - in the past 2 years- has had 4 seizures with 2 prior seizures that were misdiagnosed as TIAs by her former doctor. She has frequent headaches in the area where the seizures have a occurred. The medicine she takes is as follows: Omeprazole DR- 1 tab (40 mg) taken - AM Digoxin- 1/2 of a 250 mcg tab taken - AM Isosorbide DN- 10 mg 2x per day Metoprolol Tartrate- 1/2 of a 25 mg tab 2x per day Pradaxa - 150 mg tab 2x per day Levetiracetem (Keppra) - 750 mg 2x per day Loperamide (Immodium over-the-counter) - 250 mg as needed for diaahrea I ve been able to keep her blood sugar down but she has sudden bouts of diaahrea, which we know can cause sodium and dehydration problems. We had a renal panel done yesterday and the results came back today saying her sodium was down to 128. She has seizures at 126. I wanted to give her sodium tablets but her GP said not to do that until she sees the nephrologist. In the meantime her GP knows that I am concerned that she will have another seizure. Any information or advice you could give me would be very helpful. Thank you, in advance, for your time. K. Dennison | Hi, Thank you for posting your query regarding your mother. I agree that nephrologist deals with kidney problems, but he also deals with abnormalities in sodium or potassium levels (as these abnormalities are common in patients with kidney problems). I also agree with you that there is no harm in increasing the salt in her diet to improve her sodium level. However, we have to cautious as giving her more sodium can also worsen her heart status. Her current medications seem to be fine and can be continued. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/ |

I just completed my sonography and the dr told me I am suffering from cholelithesis, I am confuzion what should I do dr have advised me for surgery removing gall blader, is there any option I dont want surgery, is there is med. Course home remedies, plz help me | Hi, How are you? My name is Chat Doctor. I am a surgical gastroenterologist and I will attempt to answer your question. Cholelithiasis or gall bladder stones is a very common finding in scans of the abdomen. 10% to 20% of population will develop stones at some time in their lifetime. Up to 80% of these patients will never experience biliary pain or complications such as acute cholecystitis, cholangitis, or pancreatitis. Hence, most gallstones are clinically "silent," and is an incidental finding often uncovered during abdominal ultrasound being performed for another reason. People with such asymptomatic cholelithiasis, however, eventually may develop symptoms (biliary pain) that require treatment, but this risk is quite low. An even lower proportion (1-2%) may develop major gallstone complications. Therefore, expectant management is an appropriate choice for silent gallstones in the general population. The exception is patients at high risk for experiencing biliary complications - Large gallstones (>3 cm) or gallbladders crammed with stones that carry a higher risk of developing gallbladder cancer. So in your case if you are currently not suffering from any symptoms and all you have is a small stone in the GB, I would advise a "wait and watch" policy. If in future you do develop symptoms like pain, fever, omitting, dyspepsia, etc. then I would get operated on. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a fairly simple and routine surgery done in most surgical centers. Unfortunately once the stones have been formed, there are no medications which will help in treating them. Hope this helps and hope you start to feel better soon.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Dear SirMy wife is suffering from Narrowing of Brain Arteries and the have done MRI reports which suggests severe narrowing of brain arteries, now the doctor has suggested DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiogram) of Brain to check the further status of the disease , pls suggest is there any risk involved in going for DSA test.Further the doctor has said we will need to do a bypass surgery of brain which may help the blood flow from any other donor artery , pls also revert if bypass of brain is suggested and what are percent chances of this bypass going sucessful and what are the effects after the bypass operation. | Hi, Thank you for posting your query.DSA- digital subtraction angiography is a safe diagnostic procedure and carries no significant risk. This is important, as it would confirm the diagnosis in your wives case, so that the definitive treatment plan can be made. There are several possibilities in your wives case. The most common can be a disease called as Moya disease, where there is narrowing of main arteries of brain. This condition needs surgery, called as bypass surgery. This is safe if done by expert neurosurgeons of reputed institutions. The other likely condition could be vasculitis, where there is inflammation and narrowing of arteries. This is an autoimmune condition and would respond to medical treatment. Please get back with the DSA report. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/ |

Thank you for the query. Between toes, there is a great environment for any infection development. It is warm and well moisturized area. This is excellent area for fungi grow. Such itchy lumps can be such infection symptom. Bacterial or viral infection should be also considered. I suggest you to consult dermatologist with it.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I have been on Lo Loestrin Fe for four months. I have never missed the pills on any days. I started to develop pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, food aversion, breast tenderness, dizziness, crying and fatigue. I stopped taking the pill and took three pregnancy tests in the morning using fresh urine. All the pregnancy tests were negative and I have been bleeding bright red blood for a day. I have to change the tampon every three to four hours. I am still experiencing nausea, food aversion and have chills. I am not running a fever. I had experienced similar symptoms before also on a 30 mg combined birth control pill. That time, the symptoms resolved when I stopped using the pills. Though my urine pregnancy tests are negative, will these symptoms suggest that I am pregnant? | Hi. If three tests are negative and you are bleeding after the stoppage of the tablet, then you are not pregnant for sure. The bleeding may be more because you stopped the tablets in between. The symptoms that you are experiencing do not happen only in pregnancy. It can happen because of tablets, a stomach infection, climate changes and acidity. |

This could simply be related to incomplete distention however an underlying inflammatory or neoplastic process could not be completely excluded. What does this actually mean? The ct was ordered for a consistent pain in my upper abdomen right of center at the rib. | HI. Read and understood your symptoms and findings. It is for sure that the slight thickening of the wall of the funds of the stomach can not cause pain in the upper abdomen right of the center at the rib. I would advise you to consult a General Surgeon for an actual Physical examination to exclude or diagnose the cause of pain like costo-chon Chat Doctor. Muscle spasm, epigastric small hernia as all these things are not diagnosed on CT scan at all. The thickening of the funds of uterus may not be a cancer-the cause being by this time the pains come at other spots the secondaries can be seen on any CT scan oft the abdomen. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My husband had a colonoscopy and polyps were removed - they biopsied to be cancerous. The lab report stated that the cancer part was removed. The Dr doing the biopsy wanted another Dr opinion - this other Dr said half of the colon had to be removed - because of the polyp being flat (?) Could you explain this a little more for us? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Polyps are local growths in the intestine. More common in the large intestine. They can be cancerous. There are some gross features which are commonly seen in cancerous polyps like flat polyp. A flat polyp is associated with cancer more often than a stalked polyp. Multiple polyps are associated with cancer more often than single polyp. All the polyps which are removed are examined histopathologically. If they turn out to be cancerous, their removal is essential. In case there are multiple polyps in the colon, and only few are removed. If any one of them turn out to be malignant, there is every possibility of others being cancerous. At some places the cancerous lesion can even involve the underlying intestine. So, it is advisable to get the entire affected intestine / colon to be removed surgically. Surgical removal will completely remove the potential cancer site in the body. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |

She is real dizzy, and her blood pressure has been running around 155/99 which i know as a nurse that is to high. she does smoke and has smoked for about 40 years, but she dont smoke a pack a day. They diagnosed her with vertigo, but i dont beleive that is all that is wrong with her, could someone please help me? | Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read carefully your question and understand your concern. As her brain CT scan has resulted normal, possible brain ischemia or hemorrhage have been excluded. High blood pressure could be the cause of persistent headache. I would recommend performing a brain MRI to detect possible brain ischemic events (which are not detected by the CT scan) and a Doppler ultrasound of the cervical vessels to examine the blood flow in her cervical arteries to investigate for possible vessel narrowing, which could lead to vertigo. Meanwhile, I would recommend discussing with her attending physician to make the proper changes to her actual antihypertensive therapy in order to have a better control of high blood pressure. I would also recommend taking aspirin 80Β mg, to prevent possible brain ischemia (which could be related to the vertigo and tingling face). Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes, |

I got bells palsy second time 4 months ago now it is almost recovered i can say upto 90% only thing which is remaining i cannot whisle or circle my lips, well i want to know during this i kissed my girl friend so many times so can you tell me does bells palsy will spread while kissing or having sex | Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint Bells Palsy also known as Facial Nerve Palsy can occur due to Paralysis of seventh cranial nerve and the causes can be viral infection, trauma to the nerve or compression of the nerve with some tumor or large artery. Other causes will not be communicated while kissing but in case if there is viral infection to be the cause of bells palsy it can be communicated from one person to another and can cause infection of the nerve and symptoms of bells palsy. So in case if at all your girlfriend is infected she can transfer the virus while kissing but in case if she is not there is a possibility that you get flare up of symptoms when the viral count increases as virus can stay dormant in nerve cells and can reactivate in low immunity conditions. Long duration therapy of anti-viral medications can help if virus is the cause. So better get checked for the cause of facial palsy in your case and get treated accordingly by a Neurophysician. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. |

She does not have any infection, cold, caugh or fever. I am little worried about the count. Please help | Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Pregnancy is a stressful period. 2. During periods of stress, WBC count will be increased. Check for the differential counts of various cells. If any particular cells like lymphocytes or neutrophils are increased, then it needs to be looked into. Mild neutrophil count elevation can be seen.3. Also check for any immature cells in the differential counts. If It's not there, then well and good, it is possibly related to stress.4. In pregnancy, anemia and thrombocytopenia are more important markers. WBC count, if it's reducing below normal, then worrisome. At present, its only mildly increased, not to worry. Post-pregnancy, she will get back to normal, within 2-3 months. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again. |

The possible cause of your symptoms is VERTIGO which usually has an Otologic cause (inner ear problem). Serb (Betahistine) works very effectively in treating this condition. This medicine has to be taken for at least 10-12 days for an acute attack. Generally, sudden or abrupt movements of the neck or head will precipitate the symptoms.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have been involved in a relationship where the other person communicates very little, and is anti social. It is up to me to make all arrangements to do anything social ( and mostly this includes drinking alcohol)... If anything goes wrong, or I change my mind about going after making plans, my partner becomes very upset. I feel like I cannot talk to anyone or my partner gets upset. I am exasperated, and have decided I cannot deal with this anymore and have told him to get some counselling and to find a woman who is deaf and dumb to fulfill his needs. Because of my critisicms lately, and we just got back from a holiday, he spent 4 days not speaking to me, and that made me even more upset. I have had it and think we should part, and last night he disagreed, but today is in agreement as I am still upset with the whole situation. What should I do ? keep walking.... and find someone else to befriend (I am 63 and he is 62) I am divorced since 1991 and he is widowed for under 1 year. | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are 63 and you had almost enough. Means enough is enough. You know what is life and what it means to be separated. In this case, I don't think you have any emotional togetherness. Even if it is there, it should be negligible. Emotional attachment is supposed to be with those people who love you, show affection to you. You do not have to carry on like this because you need enjoyment at this period, not stress. I think this stress, is due to your wrong decision. Take the right step. For stress, please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | In January I began to feel "needles and pins" on the left side of my body, from the top of my head to the bottom of my foot. My family doctor hospitalized me, and ran all sorts of tests. They determined that there was nothing wrong with me, but I still have that numbness, no pain, on the left side. Unfortunately I was scheduled to have a hip replacement this spring, which has been postponed due to this undiagnoisable situation in which i find myself. So I feel like Hop-a-long Cassidy with neither situation being addressed at this time. Any suggestions? | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I can understand your situation, as one problem is undiagnosed, and the other is untreatedOne-sided numbness is usually due to an ischemia (lack of blood flow) to thalamus or parietal cortex. This can be easily diagnosed on MRI of brain. So, it would be useful, if you can upload the MRI brain reportPlease get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/ |

There is a mention that the kidneys are showing increased cortical echo texture.

You have not mentioned anything about your menstrual cycles. Pregnancy test cannot be positive just after having intercourse. Also, morning pills are protective in 75% cases. So, I cannot rule out pregnancy in your case. In my opinion, first, you get a serum beta Chat Doctor test done to diagnose pregnancy only if you have missed your period and, if it comes out to be positive then, one ultrasound to see gestation and location of pregnancy. Only after that, you should think of abortion. Hope this helps. |

I now need another root canal on the same tooth, but am terrified of the procedure as I am not sure if the Palsy is related to the original root canal. Should I be concerned? | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bells palsy could not be because of the root canal treatment.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi my friend is 86 years old with a defective heart valve. they cannot operate as she would not survive the surgery. her lungs fill up every month and she is in the hospital for this condition. she goes to rehab and then goes home and back again with filled up lungs and shortness of breath. your feeback please. linda | Hello, thanks for using Chat Doctor. I had gone through all the data posted. Lungs get filled up means that because of decrease in pumping action of heart blood gets pooled up in the lungs. When blood gets pooled up the water content of blood moves from blood vessels into lungs which causes shortness of breath. To tackle this we can do two things 1) improve heart function so that blood doesn't get pooled in lungs. 2) diuretic to decrease the water content of blood. So unless the heart function improves this cycle continues. Hope this helps. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor, I always had tiny and small bumps on my penis head, from the time I started noticing my penis. But today I saw some white and tiny dot like bumps. Is it any kind of STD? I had intercourse with a sex worker five weeks ago. It was protected and I kept checking my condom after every three or four strokes. I am totally aware of STD and HIV risk and I used a branded condom non-expired one. I stretched it hard to see for any holes or tears and did not see any. When I tried to insert, it broke and at that very second, I heard a popping sound and was out of her. It will be about one or two seconds and not more than that. I am not sure did it go in or not but I did not feel anything when the condom broke.I went to the doctor HIV specialist and she told me I do not have any risk for HIV. I would like to have your view on this. I have attached the picture. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. First of all, there is no risk of HIV. Secondly, the tiny bump can be a healed ulcer. Third, to be honest, a condom will not protect from HIV. The size of the virus is far small than microscope holes in the condom. Condom promotion is done to prevent STD (sexually transmitted disease) which may cause an increased chance of HIV transmission. Test for TPPA (Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assay). Injection Benzathine penicillin 2.4 mu deep intramuscular. Stay away from unprotected sexual activity. |

And they said she also has COP. Her doctor said that come from smoking forty years ago. Is this true. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, previous history of smoking can cause lung cancer at present. Cigarette smoke causes permanent damage to cells.
