The pain is now in her back as well. Any thoughts? She has a doc appointment for Monday with her regular physician. Thanks! a | Hi. Thanks for an elucidated history.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have had what I thought was a cold but may have been allergies. it started with a sore throat, scratchy and tickleish cough, yellow mucus, runny nose. This has been going on for over two weeks and now Im developing hives, which I can control by taking Benedryl. It doesnt appear to be subsiding. Is there something else I should be taking? | Hello Thanks for posting here. Your symptoms like runny nose, sore throat, cough, hives all point out that you may have allergic rhinitis. The upper airways i.e. your nose, throat are reacting unusually to some substance which can be present in the air, in your surroundings. Usually most common allergens are smoke, dust, pollen, pet hairs and some food products also etc. So get your house vacuum cleaned, stay away from pets and gardens. It can also be worsened due to climatic conditions. There are blood allergen tests and skin prick allergen tests which can determine what are you allergic to, so that you can take necessary precautions. For your symptoms you can take tablet montelukast FX 10MG once in the night for about 14 days. This tablet is a combination of montelukast and fexofenadine which will definitely take care of your hives, runny nose and other symptoms. Also do a spirometry which shows functional capacity of the lungs. Allergies can also involve the lower airways causing asthma. It is a test in which you are required to blow into a machine to test your lungs functional capacity. If spirometry shows reversible obstruction then you must be started on inhalers also. Wishing you good healthRegards |

Pregnancy is unlikely as she took the pill. Chances are even less if Intercourse occurred within a week after or before a period. The penile discharge may contain small mobile sperm which can lead to pregnancy but, as she took the pill, chances are less. If her period is delayed, she should take a pregnancy test to confirm.

If something was going to happen wouldnt it have happened right away? You just hear so much about kids going into cardiac arrest over things like this. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor.

Some serious complications like rib fracture, pulmonary contusion, pneumothorax etc. can also occur after blunt chest trauma. But no need to worry about such major complications because he is not having breathlessness. You should watch for coughing, worsening chest pain, breathlessness, redness and swelling on affected areas etc. If any of these is seen then immediately consult doctor and get done chest x-ray. Otherwise, no need to worry much. He will be alright. And don't worry about cardiac arrest. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son.

If the cat bite produced tear in your skin or blood has come out, then you have to take the anti Rabies vaccination and tetanus vaccination. Even if the cat is fully immunized, you have to take it because there is no effective treatment for Rabies virus right now. So don't take the risk.

I am better the longer I stand, it is just initially I am dizzy. I recently had a CBC, blood glucose, thyroid, and kidney function test that came back normal and during my physical exam, my doctor said I seem perfectly healthy. What could be the cause of this? It is like orthostatic hypotension but why would I have it? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. It is very common to feel this way when one suddenly changes his/her position from lying down to standing very abruptly. One should not abruptly stand up from lying position. It happens due to the sudden flow down extremities from above. So, due to a sudden change in circulation, it can lead to that. It is advised that you always get up slowly to avoid further similar episodes. I hope you find this helpful. For more information consult a family physician online |

Is it possible to have prostate cancer if your fat pad and penis is darker tone then rest of your body tone ?

Prostate cancer is a disease of elderly population, symptoms are often vague, merges with symptoms of benign prostate engagement.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,What should we do when a person is mentally unstable because of something that happened in the past? How can he get over it? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Your post does not have many details, but I presume that you are seeking advice for someone who has been emotionally disturbed by some past traumatic event. Usually, people recover from emotional trauma with support and passage of time. It depends on the severity of symptoms and the trauma involved. Family and friends should offer the patient psychosocial support. Support the person to look after themselves and provide a listening ear whenever needed. Try to distract them from pensive thoughts by joining in music, movies, plays, etc. Encourage them to go exercise regularly. Patience and perseverance are needed in helping them to recover. If the person continues to be mentally unstable despite family support, you can consult a doctor for further assessment of mental health and support accordingly. Take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have just found out that I have double the level of B6 in my blood work. I have read about Vitamin B6 toxicity and I have stopped taking Centrum. I do have red painful spots on the bottom of my big toes and some of my other toes. What else do I need to do to lower Vitamin B6 and to heal my toes? | Vitamin B-6 is needed for maintaining healthy nerves and muscle cells, and aids in the production of DNA and RNA. Too much synthetic pyridoxine, however, can irritate nerves and create symptoms. The most commonly irritated nerves from pyridoxine toxicity are the smaller peripheral nerves of the hands and feet, which produce numbness in a "stocking-glove" distribution, according to the Merck Manual website. Although numbness is common, the nerve irritation does not usually affect the senses of touch, temperature or pain. Motor coordination and walking ability often remain intact, although muscle spasms or cramps may be experienced. Discontinuing pyridoxine supplementation (cent rum) usually reverses these symptoms within a few weeks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My father has been a smoker for 50 years. He saw a doctor regularly. Anyway, two weeks ago, he met with a new primary doctor who ran some tests. They found he had an 8cm aortic aneurysm. He had a procedure last week (like a few days after the initial finding ) and had that repaired/stented I believe. Another test he had done with this new primary showed two spots on his one lung (one spot was on a lymph node?). It was pretty large. He has to wait to be released from the vascular surgeon to have a biopsy on his lung. He is scared to death obviously (and quit smoking this week). Anyway, the other day he went to have his bandage changed and a doctor ran blood tests..and also gave him an antibiotic saying that his incision was pretty swollen still (hemotoma)....and I guess he gave him the antibiotic to help with that?? Anyway, the blood work came back and his white blood count is high. What does all of this mean? 2 spots on lung and now high white blood count. Could the spots just be...incidental and the high WBC be due to an infection (or does the WBC mean worse cancer? There were only two spots on one lung...so could it have traveled to other parts the body already if is indeed lung cancer? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion high WBC count is due to infected hematoma. It is known as SSI (Surgical Site Infection). It is a kind of complication of surgery. So antibiotics are prescribed by doctor to control the infection. And about the lung spots, I advise you to get done CT THORAX with contrast. As CT gives excellent view of lung parenchymal. And appearance on CT will guide us whether biopsy is needed or not. Chances of malignancy is there since your father is smoker and old age. So better to get done CT thorax and SOS biopsy. |

Do you think this is something that can be taken care of at home or should he go to the doctor? | Hi, In my opinion he may start icing it for the first 48 hours. Applying topical gels is helpful, elevating his feet on a pillow and avoiding vigorous actions. NSAIDs like Advil tab is recommended in addition to Acetaminophen tab is effective for his pain. Chymotrypsin, Trypsin and Diclofenac for swelling if it is massive. If swelling and pain persists you will need to visit your physician for some imaging and physical examination for evaluation.

I experienced rapid heart beat last night after I ate fried fish and red spots occurred all over my body and I felt like my head was so hot that it seems like its going to burst. Everything went back to normal after I drink soft drinks (sprite). My parents gave me anti-allergy medicine but I was afraid to take it because It might make it worst. I also experienced this last week, after eating dried fish. I am 22 years old now, and when i was in Grade 5, i had an asthma attack. I cannot breath air and was taken in ICU after I ate Tuna Fish. Only those times I have those kind of reactions but most of the time nothing happens if i eat any kind of fish. Do you think I am allergy to fish, doc? What kind of allergy is it? If it will happen again next time, will it be a threat to my life? | Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history. As you are not experiencing symptoms every time you eat fish, first I would think of Histamine fish poisoning rather than fish allergy. Histamine fish poisoning is a relatively common type of food poisoning. It occurs after consumption of improperly preserved or inadequately refrigerated fish (Fish require stringent refrigeration for preservation). It occurs due to presence of excess of a substance called histamine in the fish. The symptoms are the ones you described - skin rash, itching, headache, palpitation, sometimes breathlessness, etc. The symptoms develop within a few minutes of consumption of fish and usually subside by 6, rarely last up to 12 hours. A very important thing to know is that it is not possible to know whether the fish is likely to cause histamine poisoning by look or even taste of the fish. It looks and tastes same. Only sometimes one feels a typical peppery or burning taste in mouth while consuming fish, one can suspect it is rich in histamine and one should not consume it. Usually antihistamines medications like chlorpheniramine and sanitizing are used for treatment of symptoms. So, in your case, I would think of Histamine fish poisoning rather fish allergy. It is even more common wish some variety of fish like Tuna, Sardine, Mahi-mahi, etc. It is not an allergy. Furthermore, it is usually benign and self-limited, but rarely it can cause death. If you experience any serious symptom like difficulty in breathing, dizziness, palpitation, etc. it is advisable to go to ER and get examined by physician and treated. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you the best of the health. Regards. |

Welcome on Chat Doctor! I carefully passed through your question and would explain that your symptoms are related to uncontrolled high blood pressure. I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests to investigate for possible secondary causes of high blood pressure : - a resting ECG- a chest X-ray study-lab blood tests (complete blood count, HbA1C, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests, thyroid hormone levels, blood lipid profile)- Doppler ultrasound of the cervical vessels to examine the blood flow to the brain and exclude possible vessel stenosis- a cervical spine X-ray study to exclude possible cervical backbone chronic degeneration which could lead to dizziness. Furthermore, I recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of making some changes to your actual diabetic therapy (increase the dose of insulin) and start antihypertensive therapy (a calcium channel blocker or ACE). Optimizing the antidiabetic therapy would also help manage better your blood pressure. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi Doctor,I recently lost partial vision in my left eye. I was diagnosed with retinal ischemia by an eye specialist and after an angiogram he suspects a small crystal of plaque to be blocking the blood supply to a portion of my retina. He told me I should see a cardiologist fairly soon, as he has worries about where that plaque is coming from and that I am a possible candidate for a stroke. The earliest I can get into see a cardiologist is still a week away. I am wondering if this is more urgent than that. I am 54 years old, currently taking Prednisone and Methotrexate for recently diagnosed psoriatic arthritis. I also have controlled blood sugar with Metformin and cholesterol with a small daily dose of Atorvastatin. I feel fine except for the vision loss. Thank you. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. There are chances of cardioembolic stroke (some clot or infected vegetation) particle that your ophthalmologist is suspecting. Your Cardiologist will do echocardio and see if any source of that in your heart. For prevention of stroke you take one high dose of Aspirin 325 mg and Atorvastatin 80 mg and then Aspirin 150 mg with Atorvastatin 40 mg every day. If it is not infected vegetation (as in infective endocarditis) then you can prevent stroke and any other infarction. |

I appreciate your concern for the possible spread of TB. Active TB involving the lungs is highly contagious if it is not treated. TB spreads through the air. When a person with active TB sneezes, coughs, or talks closely to others, bacteria are passed through tiny Chat Doctor. Kissing or having physical relations with your husband will not transmit the disease.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 13 year old son has strep throat. When he eats or drinks he has to spit out a lot of saliva. Is excessive saliva normal. He is 13, 170 lbs, has environmental, peanut, and seafood allergies. He has been on keflex for three days and this morning would be his fourth day but he could not keep the keflex down I think more because of a throat reflex issue with the spitting which made him throw up than a stomach issue. | Hello, I can understand your concern. Your son must be experiencing pain while swallowing due to infection in throat. This might cause pooling of saliva in the mouth that he is not able to swallow without pain causing him to avoid swallowing altogether if not needed. So the amount of saliva produced in mouth may be normal, but its defective swallowing might make it pool out of mouth. For complete relief of the throat infection, he will have to complete the entire course of the antibiotics. By the time the course is finished, he should be feeling fine regarding the throat and saliva problems. If not, you should consult your ENT specialist again for further advise. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Let me know if you have follow-up questions. Best, |

Wash the sting with soap and water and remove all jewelry because swelling of tissue may impede the circulation if it is not allowed to expand (for example, a sting on a finger that has a ring surrounding it). Apply cool compresses, usually 10 minutes on and ten minutes off of the site of the sting. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 1-2 tablets every 4 hours may be given to relieve pain (usually not to exceed 3g per 24 hours). Avoid aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) because they may contribute to other problems. Antibiotics are not helpful unless the sting area become secondarily infected. Do not cut into the wound or apply suction.please DON'T DO ANY TREATMENT AT HOME GO TO The NEAREST MEDICAL Center AS SOON AS POSSIBLE |

Am I being riped off? | Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint if the tooth is not giving you any problem abut still it is advised for extraction then it can be probably an impacted wisdom tooth but in case if it is not an impacted wisdom tooth then what is the exact reason for removing the tooth has to be ruled out by evaluation your x-rays and I can advise you how to proceed for further treatment that is extraction or bridging can be done only after asking you certain details and evaluating your x-rays. So please send scans of your x-rays and detailed question by going to my profile and clicking on "Ask me a question". You should not proceed for removal of teeth without proper reason for extraction as once the teeth are lost the artificial teeth cannot exactly replicate the functions as the natural teeth does.

Any sudden movement is very hard for me and if I am in the wrong position, it really hurts. Adding to that: It is very hard to take a deep breathe and to swallow food. My Question: Should I go to the doctor immediatly or should I wait till next morning? And what could these signs indicate? Emile (I m male, 27 years old, a bit overweight, but I started going to the gym since two months and I practice badminton for three years now) | Hi Thanks for posting your query. Sudden onset of pain at the site mentioned by you is most likely due to two possible cause. 1. Acute Muscle spasm: It is sustained strong contraction of muscles of your neck or upper back muscles due to exertion or faulty posture especially while sleeping. 2. Cervical disc disease: Working out in gym in improper posture can cause disc problem at your neck region. Among these two muscle spasm is a simple problem which will relieve by itself in a day or two. But disc problem needs medical attention. If it has been more than 2 days of pain and no improvement then better you consult your doctor. Any clarification feel free to ask. Happy to answer. |

You may have soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma, dermatofibroma or some other tumor. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.

I have had an ultrascan, a CT liver scan and am awaiting an MRI scan . My doctor has said that they have found 4 leasons on my liver and they need to investigate this further - can you tell me what the likely cause of this is please? | Hi, Thanks for writing in. A double contrast CT of the abdomen will reveal whether the lesions are solid or cystic, vascular or avascular. This will lead to a clue whether they are benign or malignant in origin. If still the surgeon is unable to comment then a CT guided FNAC of the lesion will help in arriving at a diagnosis. MRI scanning is not so helpful in diagnosis of abdominal lesions. Since you have nausea or vomiting then there is a likelihood of the primary cause being in the upper GI tract. This can be investigated by upper GI endoscopy. I hope this answers your quarry.

Considering the age of the patient of 71 and the history of vomiting and coughing which relieves the pain, I would think about Hiatus Hernia as the first cause. Get upper GI Endoscopy done before any other investigation. Additional X-ray of the chest in supine (lying down) position, barium studies for the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (history of gastric surgery notes).

Does he need to go to the hospital? | Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. I think that if this is a pain that started while resting, he should go to the hospital. There an EKG should be performed, and blood tests should be run, such as troponin and creatine phospholipase (CK) - MB fraction.

If there is a positive finding, then a coronary angiography would be the reasonable approach. I hope I was helpful with my answer. Take care. |

What could this be and how do i treat it asap? | HelloThanks for query. You have not mentioned your age in your query. Itching and redness of the penis that you have could be mostly due to infection of foreskin (Prostatitis). Many a time it is a presenting symptom to of type 2 diabetes. You need to get your blood sugar levels on empty stomach (fasting) and 2 hours after lunch done to confirm /rule out Diabetes. Take antibiotics like Doxycycline along with anti-inflammatory medicine Diclofenac twice daily and topical antibiotic ointment Newsprint for local application. If blood sugar tests turns out you to be Diabetic you will need to take antifungal medication like Fluconazole twice daily. Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily. Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely. Chat Doctor. |

Now today which is two weeks from that date iv got pink discharge.. No cramping.. Which is unusual with all my other periods I always end with cramping thats so painful its unbearable.. Iv dun two pregnancy tests between the 24th and the 2nd even doing a blood test all negative. I have a feeling that somethings not normal. Iv never been pregnant before, iv noticed my energy levels have increased and I get incredibly tired in the afternoon.. On the odd occasion i have been that tired iv fallen asleep and not really realising until i wake up with more energy.. iv also had a few headaches I dont have headaches normally. I have been trying to get pregnant and so every day of April, twice a day me and my partner were trying to conceive. Around my ovulation we stepped it up a little. Iv noticed that the past few weeks iv ate so much food and foods i wouldnt normally eat, iv had to urinate quite a lot and friday just passed i was cramping but no period the cramping was mild. Is there a chance I could be pregnant if so with two? If so when do i test? ..or is there something else going on? Appreciate the help. | Hi ! From your history, it is possible that you had a chance conception with a miscarriage which is partial. That is why there was dark bleeding followed by a pink discharge. Urine and blood pregnancy tests might not have become positive by this time. The only way to know is to go and consult a gynecologist who may also go for a pelvic ultrasound of yours for a diagnosis. The headaches and frequent urination might be due a co-existing Urinary Tract and pelvic Infection following the miscarriage. I suggest you not to delay visiting your gynecologist. Wishing you an early recovery. |

I would like to know the reason for the dark shadow. What does it indicate? What are the investigations I should do further? | Hello, The dark black shadow can be an x-ray error and can be ignored if there are no signs and symptoms. If the fracture is healed there is nothing much to worry about. Focus on doing a simple range of motion exercises and strengthening exercises in low intensity.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Sabitha Fazal: My last period was June 6th, and came to know the pregnancy on 11th July of Positive. Would like to know that what would be the baby s week? Moreover, I was effected with Chicken Pox on the same day. is there any adverse effect to the baby s growth or should I think of any alternative? Please advice Thanks & Regards | Hi there,The pregnancy is always counted in weeks from the day of first day of the last menstrual period, even if the baby was actually formed after ovulation that usually occurs 14 days after the first day of the period. This is to make it easier to date the pregnancy. So the only date you need to remember is the first date of the last period. Chicken pox this early in pregnancy should have no effect on the baby. It is more of a concern if chicken pox is acquired after the 12th week when it may cause deafness, cataracts. And if acquired after 28 weeks almost 10% of the mothers develop chicken pneumonia which can lead to hospitalization and can adversely affect the pregnancy. So you need not worry if you have had and recovered from chicken pox, because once you get the virus, your body develops immunity to it. Hope this helps. Regards. |

I popped it, thinking it was a pimple, it produced puss then a little blood like a pimple would. it has since scabbed over and begun to heal although there is still a red bump there. a few days later i had a itch after taking a shower in my groin region right on my scrotum near the base of the penis. it appeared that 2 pimple like, or wart like growths suddenly popped up. i regretfully picked at one and a small amount of fluid came out. neither produced any pain. i also noticed a very very small growth on the shaft of penis midway almost unnoticeable it is so small. Its been about 5 days and they havent bothered me or itched uncontrollably, or blistered. The 2 little growths on the scrotal region do appear to have puss. I havent had any other symptoms, and I havent had sex in 15 months. It was unprotected. Prior to these little growths or lesions ive had no symptoms of anything anywhere on my body. could these be herpes, warts, or something else, like a skin disorder? Any help would be appreciated before I head to the Dr. | HelloThanks for query. Based on the facts that you have posted you seem to have multiple Sebaceous Cysts over genital area (Penis, scrotum etc.). The genital skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefuroxime along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

I coughed this afternoon and now when I drink water I can feel a gum flap loose in back. The dentist never gave me stitches after the procedure. Do I need to worry about a dry socket? | Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Waa the tooth removal a normal extraction or a surgical procedure ? If it was a normal procedure, suture will be put according to the necessity and by the proper judgement of the dentist. Surgical extraction needs sutures compulsory. I would suggest to just compress the socket with a sterile gauge or visit your dentist to do it for you.Don't try to disturb the flap. Avoid vigorous gargling, though continue with the salt water gargling. Continue with the medication prescribed and visit your dentist to evaluate the healing socket. Hope this was useful.

This is mainly due to insufficient supplementation of the nutrients. The baby is taking whatever is needed for it. If the supplementation is not adequate, women face different deficiencies. Mainly proteins, vitamin A (and even other vitamins also) are required for healthy hair growth. Please include high quality proteins with fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables in your diet. Bean sprouts is a very good source of pre-digested proteins. Iron deficiency and/or anemia also lead to unhealthy hair and hence loss of hair. Please start iron tablets regularly. Use of Shatavari (Arrowroot) powder in a glassful of milk has proved to stop hair loss and sagging of the breasts. You may try it. Please do not apply strong shampoo and conditioner to the hair. Do not take head-bath by very hot water. Apply coconut or make oil to hair. This will help you have good hair again. Hope this helps you. |

I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more. HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of chest pain, tightness, gaseous distention, burping (gas from the mouth) and belching. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach. 5. Go for walking after meals. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

I conducted LFT, CT-scan and MRI and I was informed that it is benign. The liver function test is also normal. The CEA test is 6.5 and Cancer Marker test is also far below range. I conducted blood test for Echynococcus Serology and it was also negative. The MRI Radiologist told that it may be a hemangioma but the structure is different from the normal hemangioma. Kindly guide what can be the finding - multiple minute sized SOLs and what is the next step to be taken. Yours Sincerely, Radha, Ghaziabad | Hi there, as you have done all the tests to rule out any other cause of the sols and hematoma is more likely. It is a benign liver condition and one of the predisposing factors are intake of oral contraceptive pills. If you were on the pills earlier or now that would explain the hematomas. You will have to stop the pills and adopt other method of contraception., If you are otherwise asymptomatic then you need not do anything at this juncture but follow up routinely with LFTS and ultrasound studies.

The manifestation which you are saying are not of herpes, they normally present as grouped vesicles on an erythematous base. 2. Herpes has an incubation period of five days, it means symptoms would have to develop within five days of infection. 3. Your test are absolutely normal and you do not have to worry about it. 4. If you would have any vesicular eruption which is extremely painful, then you would have chances of herpes, so go for Tzanck smear and DFA (direct fluorescent antibody) test for it. 5. Always indulge yourself in safe sex practice because herpes genitalis caused by HSV 2 (herpes simplex virus) is an incurable condition. Take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, i am 23yr old female, wt 55kg, last yr i got married, after my marriage i took an mtp cipla kit, and then after 3 months an ipill and then again after 3 months another ipill.. After taking mtp kit, i started loosing hair and acne on my face, but now the problem is that i am loosing weight, the last ipill that i took was 4 months back,, can it be any side effect of these pills.?? | Hallow Dear, I believe, you had taken MPT kit for performing medical termination of pregnancy. Then twice after that you have taken I-pill pills at the interval of three months. I hope you took these pills within 72 hours after the unprotected sex each time as emergency contraceptive measures. These pills or MTP kit are not responsible for your weight loss and loss of hair; that to 4 months after the last pill had been consumed. Please get your general health check up done; in particular get your X-ray chest done for any evidence of tuberculosis and also get complete blood examination done. These symptoms are usually seen in general debilitating diseases like tuberculosis, anemia and also in protein deficiency. Please increase the amount of proteins in your diet, consume good amount of green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits. Please do not ignore the weight loss. Report to your Physician ASAP> |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | halo my name is mercy...my question is am having this pain in my lower abdomen and also i have this pain on my esophagus...especially when i wake up in the morning...and its been like that for the past few days....its such a burning sensational pain. | Dear Mercy, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to Acid Peptic Disease. The burning nature of the pain when the stomach is empty (as you wake up in the morning) is characteristic for this. Investigations like Sonogram or Upper GI endoscopy will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis. Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Pantoprazole preparation (to be taken twice a day before meals) & antacid gel (to be taken after meals). They prevent formation of excess acid in the stomach & provide symptomatic relief. And it is also needed that you take certain precautions regarding your diet & lifestyle, such as:1. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods.2. Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello. My dad is 78 yrs old. Basically healthy except for high blood pressure which he takes 10 mg norvask and he only has 1/3 use of his kidneys. Just recently, we believe a blood vessle popped in his head. He suddenly had headaches,dizzy and was unable to read. He was in intensive care where they did 5 catscans which showed blood on the brain(back of) near the neck i believe. He is in no pain but gets confused at times. Drs put him on 2 different blood pressure meds(one listed above) and B6 to get rid of water. He had reaction to the 2nd BP med and stopped it per MD. We are currently going to see the doctor after having an MRI. Also they said his kidneys were failing due to the medicine they gave him. My question is this.will the blood dry up? Will he get the ability to read and stop getting confused and dizzy? How long will that take? Will he be alright with this blood on the brain and what can we do to dry it up? And lastly, what of his kidneys? I belive he is going to a urologist on Monday. Thank you PS-they ruled out a stroke.. | Hello, As your father has a past medical history of high blood pressure and was under medication these symptoms are expected for kidneys to malfunction. Also, there might be lacuna infarct leading to such blood vessel issue. With the blood-thinning medication, he should be fine having control of the blood pressure. Las ix is given usually to control the high blood pressure, and it works well. But if kidneys are damaged then other measures are taken like reducing the water intake. Coming to the difficulty in reading it happens at a certain age due to neural tissue degenerative changes. Having a neurologist opinion should provide good outcome score. At 78, we can expect unexpected changes too. I will advise visiting a neurologist and start doing regular exercise in low intensity. Recent researches have reported that doing 20-30 minutes of low-intensity exercises have helped reduce the blood pressure throughout the day. Also taking a power Nap will help reduce further the BP for up to 5 mmHg. Monitor the medications, do regular exercise, monitor the water intake and diet plan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor. |

Id also like to get info on the effects the drug can have and can it stop you getting pregnant even if its not taken on a day to day basis | Hi, No matter how much you take it, if it hasn't caused side effects like hormonal imbalance or other vascular side effects, on fertility no long term effects occur and after certain time these medications get washed away due to limit half life. Once you had stopped it, and you get pregnant these will not have any side effects on the baby or on your fertility. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, my mother is 46 years old and is detected with uterus fibroid in the USG report. The size of the tumor is 3.61X3.62 cm. Its written hypo-echoic lesion . Is this a thing to worry if the uterus removal operation is done. Can this lead to cancer?or any other problem later on? My mother had breasts tumors 5 years ago and those were removed by operation.does that have anythng to do with her present problem?Pl help...I am very worried... | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Usually ultrasound is accurate in detecting such tumors and most probably this is benign tumor as it says. Women who have had breast tumor in their medical history or in family have more chance of suffering from uterine and ovarian tumors. Fibroid or MoMA are benign lesions and malignant alteration is extremely rare. It can cause problems if grow up too much and cause bleeding or press surrounding structures. This isn't significant size and I recommend doing frequent check-ups and see is there rapid size progression or not. Uterus removal is also option and this is a routine procedure today. So you don't have to worry, cancer would have more intensive symptoms. Wish you good luck. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I suffer from constant lower back pain. The pain comes on if I stand around for any time but less so if Im walking. Lifting heavy objects also heightens the pain. If Ive been drinking alcohol the night before then the pain in my back is especially severe. | HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be related to lumbosacral spine like intervertebral disc herniation. A physical examination with an orthopedic should be carried out to get clue for this. In case of any positive signs an X-ray followed by MRI of lumbosacral spine will confirm it. If it is that then muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside, NSAIDs like nimusulide and neurotrophic Chat Doctor. Physiotherapy, muscle strengthening exercises and lumbar supporting belts will be helpful also. In case there no signs of such injury then it can be muscle strain. Short course NSAIDs and muscle relaxants will be helpful also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 21 year old girl has a rapid heart beat, which started recently. she is takingContraceptive pill, 5 days ago we rushed her to A&E, her heart beat was very fast, they said she had inner ear infection and her tonsils were inflamed, so she was given Antibiotics but we had to stop as the tablets were making her worse.(heart beat).while we were in hospital they recommend that she should take Magnesuim tablets. can you please advise why all of a sudden she is having this problem? | Hello thank you for posting here. By what you have explained, Lt looks like she is having sinus tachycardia supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Sinus tachycardia is a condition when we have a heart beat due to running, exercising, stress and during infection in the body. So if it is sinus tachycardia then it is due to the infection. The other variant, SVT may also be triggered by infection in the body or due to abbe rant connections in the heart conduction system. It is a rarely harmful for the patient but required medications to settle down. Only an EKG will help to distinguish between them. Magnesium also helps in stabilizing a fast heart rate. But treating the cause - infection with a different antibiotic which doe snot worsen fast heart rate is advisable.it is usually a being problem, and after she recovers her normal heart rate she may probably not get it. However if she gets it on and off then there is a conduction pathway problem for which she should be on rate control medications. Thank you |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had no period for two months. I than had clots, with no period for about three days. Now its a light flow. I am having central abdominal pain ( about three days), bloody diarrhea two days ago, hot flashes to the point of sweating, light headed from stomach issues. I just feel all around yucky. Do you have any idea what could be going on? | Hi. Thanks for your query. Passing of the clots followed by light bleeding can be periods called oligomenorrohea, or you have missed abortion. But at the same time you have central abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea hot flashes to the point of sweating, light headdress can all suggest the possibility of severe enteritis causing septicemia causing all the symptoms you have. I would advise in such a patient the following:Ultrasonography to rule out uterine or tubal pregnancy and to see for the status of abdominal lymph nodes. Test of blood, urine and stool to see for the possible diagnosis. Get the treatment according to the reports, and you will be fine. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Once my dentist gave me combination of cifran ct and dolamide for 3 days morning and evening dose. my tooth ache came down. but after one month my tooth ache came back. since i had the prescription from previous visit, i took the same tables. but this time only morning and evening for only one day. is it ok what i did. | Hello, Both these medicines are prescription Chat Doctor. Secondly, antibiotics should be taken in full course for optimum results and not just for one day. One more important thing that I would like to tell you is that if there is tooth infection and the tooth has become painful than it is clear that the tooth is deeply decayed exposing the nerves. So for permanent relief from pain and infection, you should get an x-ray of the tooth done and root canal treatment can be done followed by antibiotics and painkillers for permanent relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
