ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I have a long, complicated cardiac history and currently seeing a cardiologist. It started with chest pains, and I ended up having an episode of NSVT last year. I am now on Bisoprolol and Amlodipine. The cardiologist thinks my condition is coronary artery spasm and just an ectopic focus causing the NSVT. I have had a normal CT angiogram with no luminal narrowing and no signs of any blockages or atherosclerotic changes, and a negative stress echo. I have had a normal echo after the NSVT with everything normal and a cardiac MRI. The MRI showed a very mild dilation of left and right ventricle (the cardiologist looked up studies and said mine is not dilated and it falls within the normal range for my age).I had a normal echo just taken yesterday, which showed no dilation ventricle with normal wall thickness, size, and normal function with 66 % EF. The only finding at all on the echo was a mild tri-leaflet aortic valve, normal cusp excursion, and no regurgitation. I also noticed that every time I am stressed or anxious, my T waves in leads III and AVF on ECG flip. As my other echo did not mention this sclerosis of the aortic valve, has this always been here and because of my NSVT does this put me at risk of an SCD? Also, is it likely for me to have blockages in my arteries now even after a clear CT angiogram less than a year ago?Since the one episode of NSVT, it has not happened again although I have had on Holter, premature atrial, junctional ectopics, and ventricular trigeminy, all of which are very infrequent. One episode of trigeminy with emotional stress on three-day Holter. Total ectopic beats in 24 hour period less than 30. I am a 31 year old male, who does not smoke and. All the best. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. An excellent narrative history. I think you had only one episode of tachycardia of ventricular origin, which was nonsustained.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi. I m a 30 year old male. Recently, I started having a tingling (sore-like) pain on the inside ( tongue side) of my lower gum behind my last molar. When I was examining it myself, I noticed that there seems to be a small hole there. When I scratched at it, it almost feels like bone - it s rather hard and rough. There doesn t seem to be any other issues from what I can see. There may be a little bit of white around it, but it s hard to tell. It s not terribly painful, but it has me worried. Are there some possible explanations for this? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, your teeth is effected by periodontitis which is localized in nature. The tingling pain is due to sensitivity as a result of gingival recession and pocket formation. White around the tooth is due to deposition of food debris over there which caused the formation of heavy band of plaque called calculus. Visit your dentist and get the cleaning and root planning treatments. Use desensitizing pastes like resident to brush your teeth. Use soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your teeth. Take care. |

Going by what you have mentioned, it is highly likely that your son is suffering from depression. You should make him visit a psychiatrist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Skin types vary from person to person and in some individuals, it tends to be very oily. This occurs due to excessive oil secretion by the oil glands on the face. One of the causes for this is excessive washing of the face. When you wash your face too many times, it strips the natural oil from the face and paradoxically increases the activity of the oil glands to compensate for the loss of natural oils. Wash your face with a cleanser containing 2% salicylic acid twice a day. Do not use thick creams. Avoid oiling your hair. Avoid fried foods and foods with high glycemic index. Hope this helps you.

The stroke of these symptooms are usually occurs while I am sleeping. My all medical reports including MRI are normal. Kindly suggest.Narender YYYY@YYYY | Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms could be related to a sleep disorder or anxiety. Epilepsy seizures can not be excluded either. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical check up and some tests: - complete blood count for anemia-vitamin D and blood electrolyte levels for possible imbalance- an EEG with sleep deprivation or a polysomnogram are necessary to investigate for seizures or a sleep disorder. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes, |

And the ones on the back of her neck started to ooze I noticed it when I changed her sleeper which it had stained the neckline. Should I be worried or is this normal? | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have symptoms of acne on the body which oozes which occur due to blocked ducts of sebaceous glands. Dead skin and bacteria entrapped inside cause infection and the dark spots after acne are post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Need not worry. I would suggest you to apply vitamin C serum at night. You should start with use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment for acne during daytime. Protect your skin from sun exposure. If condition persist even after a month the consult dermatologist. Doctor may recommend techniques like laser therapy and dermabrasion and prescribe antibiotics, retinoids and retinoid for acne. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, |

Even when passing the stool I dont feel any kind of pain. But my urge to poop has increased lately.My age is 23 and weight is around 77 kg my height is 6 ft. | Hello dear, hope you are fine. The presentation you described is likely to be a hemorrhoids (biles), that causing blood in the stool. The fatigue you described maybe due to loss of blood, that caused anemia. I recommend that to confirm the diagnosis, to be examined by a surgeon, so to make sure it\s only hemorrhoid, and no other masses there causing your symptoms. I also recommend to have blood test, CBC , so to check your hemoglobin. once diagnosis is confirmed, we will discuss the management (which mostly include having high fiber diet and oral laxatives). |

Thank you | Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. There are several issues to be discussed here. The fact that bile duct tube is hard to replace may suggest the progression of tumor size and compression of it externally. It may lead to liver failure and reduced protein levels and reduced protein levels will cause leg swelling. It is hard to prognoses the lifetime, but generally the prognosis is poor if my presumptions are right. He should check albumines levels and have it corrected if these are low and if tube won't be possible to exchange then palliative surgical bypass may be an option, if he will be able to stand surgery...

I am taking creaon 0000mg 6 tabs a day and omnacortil 40 mg/ day and got tappered to 5 mg/ day. Now i am going to stop steriod in another 3 days. My recent CT Abdomen shows good improvement in pancreas , gall bladder , bile duct etc. I got my stent also removed from bile duct. I got my eyes affected because of steriod and now I have CSR and lattices in both eyes for which no treatment taken. Dr said they can review after stopping steriod. Is there any chances of AIP relapsing? what is the treatment for me now? | Hi Seaman, CSR, usually has a good prognosis. 90% of cases after with Chat Doctor. For your faster relief, you may be prescribed low dose of Aspirin. Slight impairment of vision, specially night vision and color blindness can persist. If your eye condition do not improve, you may have to undergo laser surgery for the eyes. Relapse of Autoimmune pancreatitis can occur in 20-30% cases, which may require prolonged course of corticosteroid. Chances of relapses are more if there is an involvement of extrahepatic or intrahepatic bile duct. One thing to remember is that in case you have to start again the steroid, your doctor must closely monitor the doses and blood levels of the steroid, because it is directly related to your chances of CIS.

Dr. told us today it is probably malignant but wants to do a lung biopsy. What will the biopsy show that the PET scan didn t. This has been a very long 5 weeks. Thank you | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I want to ask you few questions first.1. Age of your husband. 2. Is he smoker or not? Nodule in lung needs thorough investigation. Depending on the CT THORAX appearance, age and smoking habit, probability of malignancy can be predicted. If nodule has1. Larger size (more than 1 cm)2. Irregular margins3. Devoid of calcification4. Associated lymph nodes etc In a smoker patient with age more than 50 years, possibility of malignant nodule is high. And biopsy is needed to confirm the diagnosis of malignant nodule. Biopsy gives tissue diagnosis and if it says malignancy than it is 100% confirm diagnosis. PET scan can show positive uptake in infection, inflammation and malignancy. So to rule out all these biopsy is needed. So go and get done biopsy. |

I am now taking Rabeprazole sodium for gastric morning and night and clonotril night dose. Kindly advise me I am very worried about side effects. I also want to become my normal self and regain my courage. | HelloClonotril being a benzodiazepine is a very effective medicine for controlling anxiety symptoms and can be taken for 4-12 weeks but not more than that to avoid developing dependence on it. SSRI antidepressant like Sertraline or Escitalopram are currently the first line medicines for controlling anxiety symptoms however they can cause gastric side effects like nausea, constipation, diarrhea initially as a side effects therefore in your case, you can discuss with your doctor about trying Mirtazapine which is a sedating antidepressant and a good antianxiety medicine too. It can help in sleeping and you won't be needing any other sleeping pill once you start taking Mirtazapine. It does not cause gastrointestinal side effects and can be a good option in your cases in my view. Control can be taken on as and when needed basis if you are much worried about developing dependence on it. Kind regardsVikas |

Low mood or sad mood with loss of interest in daily activities. Change in apatite or change in weight. Sleep disturbance.

It got cleared Amoxicillin but now is back again.He was 6 weeks early 4 pounds and 12 oz but now he is over 17 pounds and he looks pretty happy and normal baby. I am afraid that he might have some kind of metabolic disorder ? | Hello, I can understand your concern. As your son is otherwise healthy and not showing any signs of disease or discomfort, it does not seem that he is suffering from any pathology regarding the tongue. Do you clean his tongue with a thin, cotton cloth while bathing? It is necessary to clean the tongue of newborns or small kids in order to keep it free of debris and bacteria along with coating on the tongue. In addition, some food item that you might be giving him can cause the tongue to turn brown. I do not advise giving a course of antibiotic again unless it, I am not removed by proper cleaning. If he had infection, he might be presenting with fever, malaise etc. that may have needed antibiotics to clear the infection. If cleaning and changing diet does not help, you should see a periodontist (dentist who specializes in treating oral cavity problems of kids) to ascertain the cause of the problem and staring treatment.

This happens when patient has severe infection/ sepsis; or patient with kidney failure takes metformin tablets. In your case the doctor changed your diabetes Chat Doctor. Hence, he stopped the combination Janet and put you only on metformin with glipizide. As long as your kidneys are normal you need not worry about lactic acidosis. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Dr Vineet, my name is Daniel Nicolae from Romania. I contacted you because i strongly need your oppinion regarding my blood analysis interpretation. I am diagnosticated with thalassemia major since i was 9 months old. Before Nov 2008 my stats was good. 2 packs of blood every 4 weeks. My Hb level pre-trans 8-8.5, and after transf 10.5-11 ....sometimes even 12.Well in November i changed to my chelator from Desferal to Exjade. My ferritine level before exjade was around 2200.In the first weeks everything seemed to be fine. I was monitored weekly. After a few months i started to feel tired......I EVEN WAS SLEEPING IN THE AFTERNOON ( i almost never sleep in the afternoon).Then my Hb level started to drop. Before transf. my Hb level 6-6.5. I started to take 2 packs every 3 weeks. Still my post-transf Hb level doesnt pass 8.5-9 ...... AFTER 3 PACKS OF BLOOD WITH 220ml each! Then i changed to 3 packs every 2 weeks. The same result! Before transf Hb=6 and after 9 at most! My doctors didnt say anything! They even were frustrated that i asked for extra blood! They said to remove my spleen!In November 2010 doing some blood tests, my White Blood Cell counts were 3.2L ( normal range 4.0 - 9.0 ). Once i stopped Exjade, at my next blood tests my WBC=5.2L. My pre-trasnf. Hb level was now 7-7.5, and after transfusion 9.5-10 and even 11.6 after 3 packs of blood!Now i am on Desferal, as my chelator. But yesterday after my last transfusion my WBC was again 3.4L this time. I need to know what is happening to me, because my doctors only says that i should remove my spleen! I need your proffesional oppinion!Thank you very much! I will email my blood results from November, thouse with WBC = 3.2L at YYYY@YYYY if this is right, and specify that are mine! | Dear Canal, although your question is directed to some other doctor, I would like to comment. Due to thalassemia, your spleen size will increase. After a critical size [variable person to person], spleen will start accumulation all blood cells. Whenever your transfusion need is so high with no other apparent reason, it's an indication to think for spleen removal.what's your age now? Why don't you discuss for BMT with your doctor? |

Im 25 and My breast are really sore and seem like they are bigger but my breats have NEVER been sore throuhgout my cycle in my life. I got my expected period on wednesday nov 8th and its light. When can I take an accurate home pregnancy test? | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. A pregnancy test will be accurate at this point if your period came on time, but many things can affect the amount of breast tenderness you have during your menses, like weight changes, salt intake, and irregular hormones for other reasons (like a missed ovulation) which can also give you a light period. So you may accurately do a pregnancy test if you are at risk for conception. However, the greatest likelihood is that you are not pregnant.

I have not started taking the amoxicillin yet because I am worried that it will decrease the effectiveness of the plan b pill. Will taking the antibiotic interfere with what the plan b pill is suppose to be doing? | Hi. Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor. The antibiotics like Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Tetracycline, Azithromycin and Co-trimoxazole interfere with the function of plan B by suppressing the intestinal microflora and decreasing the duration of action of Levonorgestrel present in plan B. Since you have already taken Plan B and the above said antibiotics will reduce the efficacy of plan B you can take some other antibiotic like Cephalosporins or Azithromycin. Although Azithromycin belongs to the same group of Azithromycin it does not have any interaction with Levonorgestrel (progesterone) and only interferes with estrogen activity. Since plan B does not contain estrogen, it is safer to take Azithromycin. Also, Azithromycin is very effective in throat infection. You're treating Chat Doctor. |

According to your attached reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), your BMI (Body Mass Index) is 27. This suggests that your weight is more than normal. You need to reduce your weight. Obesity also leads to low level of vitamin D in blood and increases joint pain. You have mentioned that you have undergone body massage.

Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15Β mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500Β mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F.

A few days later I forgot to take my combined pill and have spotted since twice and have been having bad cramps. I took a pregnancy test a week after the incident, and it was negative, but I know tests dont really work a until about 4 days BEFORE the next period and I had mine before the intimacy. Is there any chance at all I could be pregnant.. | Hello dear, I can understand your concern. In my opinion the chances of pregnancy are rare because you both were protected i.e., he was using condom, and you were on combined pill.Moreover, true intercourse did not occur as he did not enter into the vagina. So there are rare chances of pregnancy. And missing the pill a few days later might not affect this intercourse. If you had any unprotected sex during the missed pill time then it might pose risk for pregnancy. I suggest you to do a urine pregnancy test a week after missed period for accurate results but not before the expected period. So relax. Avoid stress and check for the period.

Is there any cure ? | Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, stroke by definition is loss of some localized part of brain due to ischemia (lack of blood into brain cells)or hemorrhage (leakage of blood from the brain arteries or vessels thus blood could not reach up to brain cells).common factors that can develop into stroke are commonly - high BP, high lipids (cholesterol levels), smoking, tobacco chewing etc. Features that can be seen in the patient are hemiparesis (sudden weakness or loss of function of half side of the body) or sometimes only one arm or leg. Loss of sensation on that part (unable to feel touch and hot or cold)there may be involvement of speech, vision, memory, and face paralysis also. If the symptoms appear and fortunately return to almost normal within 24 hours then it is called a transient ischemic attack ...TIA (this literally means temporary loss of blood to brain cells).but if the symptoms stay for more than 24 hours and doesn't improve it is a STROKE. In both cases of TIA & Stroke prompt treatment is required to lessen the impact on brain cells. In the treatment of STROKE a multidisciplinary approach is required....this means that the patient must be treated by a no. of specialist like neurologist, neurosurgeon, physical therapist, speech therapist, ophthalmologist, occupational therapist, nursing care etc. The recovery of patient will definitely depend on the extent of brain involvement and other associated features age of patient, any other medical problem.a multifaceted treatment can bring the patient back to normal life. The family and the caregiver should be extremely patient, supportive, and caring towards the patient and should trust the doctors treating the patient.I would also like to mention here after reading the comments below that heat stroke is entirely different from this stroke. And aging is not a cause of stroke, it just makes few individuals more prone to get stroke.I hope this helps |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Thank you for your kindness advise.My english quite is limit but I hope you can understand.My son 8 years old 22 kgs.He got nose allergies.He cant sleep at night for long term.He doesnt look like kids but sleepy all the time like an old man.He has ardenoid face.But someone suggest me to try probiotics but I also found probiotics cause some worm so how can I do? I am confused and scare of worms too. | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Probiotics help with the immune system response and would help build up his immune system and reduce infections and allergies. In addition, if he can have allergy tests to find out what causes his allergic reaction then this would also help because you can then reduce his exposure. The use of topical steroid nasal sprays would also help to relieve his symptoms. Examples are alone, escort, Flonase, I hope this helps |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Im 19. 4 years ago I had successful varicocele surgery on my left side. Now, 4 years later something new is going on. I will occasionally feel pings of pain coming from almost the same spot where the varicocele was and my spermatic cord seems to be swollen when I compare it to my right side. I also feel a sharp pain after ejaculation but that subsides after a few minutes. This has been going on for a few weeks now. Im wondering if this is a repeat varicocele or if it is something new. I haven t had sex so I doubt the possibility of it being bacterial or infectious. | HelloThanks for query. The pain in Lt testicle 4 years after surgery of Varicocelectomy could be either due to recurrence of Varicocele or infection of the spermatic cord (Funiculars). This needs to be confirmed by clinical examination by a qualified Urologist or General Surgeon and doing following basic tests1)Ultrasound Scanning of the scrotum 2) Color Doppler Ultrasound Scanning of scrotum.In the meanwhile start taking anti-inflammatory medication like Diclofenac and antibiotic like Doxycycline twice daily. Further treatment will depend upon the results of these tests and final diagnosis. Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I was wondering if gas can cause the heart to hurt? My left side of my chest is hurting and so is my hurt. Sometimes I feel like Im smothering down. Im 15. I weigh 154lbs. Im 53. I have no medical history of anything bad except a appendicitis surgery. | Hi. I can understand your concern. Ideally ECG and 2d echo should be done first in your case. If both are normal than no need to worry about heart diseases. HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can cause similar kind of chest pain. 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 central chest pain and nausea. You can take proton pump inhibitors. But along with Chat Doctor. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Go for walk after meals. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. Lose weight if you are obeseDont worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi there, I had treatment for cervical cancer 8 years ago in the form of chemo and radiotherapy. At that time surgery wasnt an option so therefore i still have my uterus intact. Is it possible for cervical cancer to come back after this period of time and if so what would the sypmptoms be and what are your chances of success again. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of cervical cancer recurrence is there, irrespective of surgery in the past. Means even if you had hysterectomy, recurrence can be there. Since you didn't undergo hysterectomy, chances of recurrence are higher in you. Symptoms of recurrence are foul smelling vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, bleeding per vagina, weight loss, anorexia, low grade fever etc. And regarding future treatment, you need to first get done staging of the cervical cancer. If it is localized cancer than surgical removal with post opera chemotherapy and radiotherapy are options. If it is metastatic cancer than palliative treatment in the form of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, nutritional support and pain management are the options. So if you have any of the above-mentioned symptoms than consult oncologist, get done staging and star appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have spinal stenosis so suffer a lot of pain in my legs. I found a soft lump on my upper leg but was told by doctor it was nothing. I have been experiencing different pains in my leg while sleeping at night which I never use to suffer and tablets I m taking are not helping. I m on amitriptyline and co codomine. thank you. | HiT hanks for your queryBased on your query, my opinion is1. The lump on your thigh and spinal stenosis are not related.2. Swelling might be a soft tissue lesion like lipoma as it is soft. If it is painful then get it evaluated by cytology and if required excisional biopsy.3. Pain in the lower limbs is related to stenosis. So be regular with your medications, and you can try physiotherapy. Hope this helps |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi mam, im 23 years old got married 3 months. I wanna to get pregnant faster im getting my periods regularly now but minimum flow and getting spotting 15 days back is this an ovulation time? I got pcod 1 year back i took crimson tablets is there any problem to conceive? Pls reply me thank u. | Hello dear, i understand your concern. In my opinion there might not be any problem in conceiving if your cycles are regular. The cause for minimal flow like thyroid abnormalities should be ruled out.Also, as you have a history of POD previously an ultrasound might be needed to check for the POD status. First and most important is avoided stress and anxiety related to pregnancy because they cause hormonal imbalance and delay the conception further. If ultrasound and thyroid profile are normal then nothing to worry. Practice regular intercourse to increase the conception chances. Best regards... Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have been to the ER 2 times within the week....I have moderate to severe pain that began on the left mid-abdomen and moved to the right mid-abdomen. Was given antibiotics and pain meds upon 1st visit after blood work and CT showed no abnormalities. Pain continued, with more nauseau, returned to GP who sent me to the ER again. ysUrinalis and abdominal xrays were normal. Again sent home to continue antibiotics and pain meds. Was told "if pain continues for more than 7 days from 2nd visit, return to GP" and also told "sometimes the body hurts, and then heals itself...feel better soon". And am being treating as a diverticulitis attack and told to use the BRAT diet. What should I do next?? This evening my pain level is probably around and 7-8. | HI. You are already under treatment and investigated taking medicines, I wounder why the CT scan is normal; if it is normal, means there is a problem that is not detectable on CT, X-ray or so. The commonest because that can be missed are colitis- inflammation of the large bowel as it causes the pain in the areas described by you. This can be a part of the Irritable Bowel Syn Chat Doctor. Colonoscopy and a therapeutic trial of antispasmodic and antianxiety medicines helps. |

The skin around the eyes is delicate and is very prone to develop allergy Or irritation to topical products. I would suggest that you apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g. fluticasone propionate cream, twice daily over the area of concern for a week and discontinue with everything else.Thereafter, you may use a cream called EGA (contains retinol), for underage darkness, fine lines and wrinkles. Use this cream once every alternate days, initially and then switch over to daily use once your skin gets adjusted to it. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day. Regards |
