I can understand your concern. You have cortical venous sinus thrombosis. You should continue your medication for hypertension. Furthermore, you should take warfarin to avoid clotting. Go for regular PT & INR testing and maintain your INR between 2 and 3. You may have some cause for thrombophilia. You should search for that like some factor deficiency or homocysteine or it b12 deficiency. Consult your doctor and start your treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | yes. my boyfriend takes workout drinks regulary to workout. they have increased his blood pressure. he has a physical for a job, and beign a bit anxious has raised it a bit more, is there a tip or trick to lowering it for a short time. to get to a more normal number? | Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to give you some advises. In our daily practice in treating hypertension it is very important to look for secondary causes of hypertension. This is very important if we are dealing with a young person, because in this category secondary hypertension is very common. It means that it is a secondary disease or factor causing hypertension. It might be a renal problem, an endocrine or congenital problem. So first, my opinion as a cardiologist is that it is mandatory to do a full check up beginning with a blood analyses, an electrocardiogram, echo-cardiograph, thyroid hormones. After this, we might judge for others. The first thing to do when treating hypertension is lifestyle modification. If I was your treating doctor I will recommend stopping every workout Chat Doctor. In general, they have caffeine, Maurine and stimulant factors that rise blood pressure values. Your boyfriend should reduce alcohol and salt intake in daily eating. They booth rise blood pressure. He should stop smoking if he smokes and have a low fat diet to reduce blood lipids if they are high.These is just the simplest and the first thing to do. My opinion is that you will see a good result. If high values persist than he should make a deeper cardiologist consult. I hope I was helpful. Best regards. |

Sometimes it is also given empirically. But there is no compulsion in taking this. You can try medicines for growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor. |

Calf can be due to muscle or nerve related causes. It can be due to below-mentioned causes.1. Low serum B 122. Thyroid, Diabetes or knee arthritis3. Nerve compression in the spine. So I would recommend you to get blood investigations to check if you have low vitamins or any other metabolic causes of neuropathy.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | i get a rapid heart beat that i can feel pulsating throughout my body. it is such a hard beating that it feels like it is actually moving me with each beat. i begin to get dizzy and think that i might faint. it started with my first pregnancy, which i think put extra strain on my heart- that caused me to become symptomatic. it happens at completely random times; therefore, I do not believe that it is associated with anxiety or panic. When I get tachycardic, I know that I should count my pulse- but once it starts, I generally feel like I just need to lay down- Quickly! I find a dark room to decrease all stimulation and lie on my left side for better circulation, still it takes usually 15-25 min for the episode to resolve. any idea what could be causing this? | Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I carefully passed through your question and would explain that your symptoms are not related to any cardiac disorder. Anxiety or high blood pressure could be the cause of this symptomatology. Have you measured your blood pressure during these episodes? I would also recommend performing a complete blood count for anemia and thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid dysfunction which can mimic this symptomatology. If the above tests result normal, and your blood pressure is normal too, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your symptoms. In such case, I would advise consulting with a specialist of this field, in order to help you manage better your anxiety. Psychotherapy and an antidepressant could be helpful! Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes, |

Stressed people, when in traffic, or Chat Doctor. Such an external strong stimulus gave you blurred vision, and you got panic and pulled over. Panic is enough to cause you palpitation.

In my opinion the vomiting in pregnancy are routinely seen, and they usually persist till 12-20 weeks. But they can be controlled by medicines. The medicines like dominate, emestat are such medicines, and they are safe to be used in pregnancy. So relax and continue taking them. Take fluids up to 2-3 liters, coconut water, fruit juices daily.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I am a 27 year old male in good physical shape, doing workouts every day. My weight is 90 kg and my height is 170 cm. About four months ago, I started to feel a sharp pain on the left side of my face, above my left eye when I swallow liquids. The pain is not intense, but rather I feel like there is an irritated nerve. It lasts only a second, while I am swallowing the liquid and then there is no pain at all. After a while, I noticed that the pain activates when I kiss someone (creating a vacuum with my mouth). Last night, I triggered the nerve pain while I was cleaning my left ear with a cotton bud. The pain has neither gotten worse nor better in these four months. I consulted a neurologist and he did all the tests, like neuro test, 64-slice computer scan. There was nothing wrong with them. Then, I was at the otorhinolaryngologist and he checked my ears, nose, and throat. There was nothing wrong with them too. My neurologist wrote me Lyrica, but after three days, my head was spinning, and I felt bad. So, I cut it off. I am without any medications for two months now. The pain was still there while I was taking Lyrica. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I read your query and understand your concerns. I hope this answers your query.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello , i have a smalll ball like thing floating in my lower back . It barely causes any pain until it is moved. Although sometimes when i lie down they are painful . Is that something serious. How can i get it checked?I have read people posting similar problems, they have mostly been told about lipomas. Is this a lipoma? If so , the only way to get rid of it is a surgery , i already have a surgery scheduled next month , if you can please tell me any other way to get rid of it , probably by antibiotics , if any?Thanks Ishaan | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A mobile (floating) mass on the back can be due to proliferation of adipose tissue, connective tissue, other soft tissue, etc. A proliferation of adipose tissue is called lipoma. A soft and mobile mass on the back can be a lipoma, but few investigations need to be done before planning the treatment. A fine needle aspiration of the mass needs to be done. This test is an office procedure which samples the cells in the mass. These cells are examined microscopically and the nature and origin of the lesion is determined. On the basis of result of this test, further management will be planned. In case this mass turns out to be a lipoma, surgical treatment is the only modality of treatment. It cannot be treated by antibiotics or by any conservatively. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I m 15. Several months ago, after several suicide attempts, self harm, homicidal thoughts, bouts of rapid anger that led me to scream at people over nothing and once or twice to randomly start strangling and animal, stop and not even know why I did what I just did, panic attacks,mood swings and several other things, my parents decided to takd me to the doctor.I was diagnosed as bipolar and the doctor gave me a mood stabilizer.what didn t really make the depression or mood swings go away, it did help to stabalize my mood.next time I saw the pschiatrist, my parents told him that they had noticed not only changes in my mood but also changes in my personality. I was more social and outgoing and talked more as well as changes in humor sense conversation style and several other changes in my personality. They thought the changes were good and they didn t notice any major changes. According to them, the aspects of my personality that had changed were all just symptoms of a disorder and the medicine fixed them, so that their going away was a sign that I was getting better and becoming who I really am. Up until then, I had no idea I had changed. I didn t like the idea that I had changed because it means that I m no longer the real me in my eyes. I m who the medicine has made me and I m now a different person than who I really am. Those aspects of my personality were a part of what made me me and I hate that a medicine changed me without me even knowing. Now to the actual question. I used to hear voices a lot. They told me to kill myself and others as well as other things, but they went away. Recently, they ve come back so now, my doctor has given me Risperidone, a medicine he says will make the voices go away and stay away. I m worried that the antipschotic he gave me will change my personality even more and I ll endd up as another person who is completely different than myself. So, could antipschotics change me? Will they? Also, not the main question, but does the fact that I m bipolar, hear voices, have homicidal thoughts, see troubling images, tried to strangle animals in a random moment and other stuff mean I m crazy? | Degree understand your concerns went through your detailed description. I suggest you not to worry too much. You are just 15. How can you think about something which even a 70-year-old cannot dare? You tell me that your personality changed. Personality is genetic. It cannot change. Every person is unique in his personality. Attitude, aptitude, behavior, impulse etc. change, never personality. Every change is for good. Nothing is bad because these are developmental tasks the body takes up. Body and mind cannot go forward if they don't change according to situation. Psychotic medications cannot change anything in your body. They make some nerves inactive, thereby delaying or killing some signals which are negative. So, as a person who do not have any idea about mind and its features, please stop thinking unnecessarily. You respect and abide people who are trained and heed to their advices. Hope you understand. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. |

I tried not to inhale but I could smell and taste it even though I covered my mouth and nose. Could this be a cause of my condition? | Hi thanks for asking question in Chat Doctor. In the desalinating disease, myeline sheath got damaged. It could be because of congenital genetic cause, trauma or inflammation or infection of brain or spinal cord. During house flea treatment mere inhalation will not lead to demyleniting disease. So it could not be the cause. The common etiological disease associated with causing declination is multiple sclerosis. I hope I have solved your query. |

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam, a cervical spine X-ray study and some other blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels).

They told me I had Pneumonia and prescribe me Mylan-Levofloacin 500mg took 1 1/2 tablet once by mouth for 7 days and 200 DOS Ventolin HDA 100mcg 2 puffs every 4hrs. I did that and I still had pain so I went back and the dr said my pneumonia was gone but still had crackles in my lungs so he said I had pleurisy and prescribed me Naproxin 375mg 1 tablet by mouth 3 times a day I got them on march 18th. It s now march 23rd and I still have that sharp pain on my left side when I breath or cough and still have crackles. What do I do? And the other question is can all these antibiotics make my period late or skip it? Thanks! | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Answer to your 1st question. In my opinion you should get done CT thorax to rule out bronchiectasis. It is type of healed lung tissue common after pneumonia treatment. In this part of lung tissue dilates and remain as it is. In the dilated part, secretions tend to accumulate and cause crackles and pain on coughing. So get done CT thorax to rule out bronchiectasis. Answer to your 2nd question. Delay in periods is seen in acute infection and antibiotic use both. But infection is the likely cause in your case. Infection anywhere in the body causes stress and hormonal imbalance.

Can you please let me know if there will be a problem in having a baby? Is this a pcod cyst? Is any treatment required? Or will it go off without treatment? Please clear my doubts. Thank you. | Hi. Fibroids can cause fertility problems if they are too large in size or in the wrong location. If you have seedling fibroids, then they are unlikely to cause problems in conception. They may grow a bit during pregnancy, but will decrease in size after delivery. If you are married, then I would suggest you get another ultrasound done to check the status of the fibroids and if still seedling please try to plan your family and conceive. Fibroids grow over time, albeit slowly. If you delay by a few years, then they may cause fertility issues. Retention cyst is different from a polycystic ovary. PCOS is a syn ChatDoctor. There are multiple small cysts in the ovaries. If you have a single retention cyst, then it may be physiological. The cyst may resolve on its own. You will need to get another ultrasound on the second day of your next period to find out the status of the cyst. If it is more than 3 to 4 cm and of a dubious nature, then it may need laparoscopy and removal. This does not cause infertility. |

You can try naturally but as your age is on a higher side, do some investigations like AMH and a day 2 ultrasound to see astral follicles count. If everything is fine, you can take some medicines like camphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks.

It causes an irritant cough when microaspiration of refluxed material occurs and nasal swelling due to the exposure of the posterior nasal airway to an acid environment. An antacid will help the swelling, but the cough will not respond to n antacid and the reflux will have to be treated. If your baby is bottle-fed, you can thicken her formula with a tsp of rice cereal per ounce to decrease the liquidity and discourage reflux. You should also have her upright after meals for at least an hour and possible have her sleep with the head of her bed elevated about 45 degrees. If these measures do not relieve the cough, she will need further testing to determine the severity of the reflux. All babies have some reflux as infants, but it should not be leading to cough and nasal stuffiness. Some babies also cry a lot both from the nasal congestion and the heartburn. If this is the case, she would cry and arch her back, seem relieved after feeding a bit but then start to be uncomfortable again a few minutes after. This is another clue to reflux. Significant reflux must be evaluated with visualization of the esophagus, stomach and small intestine to assure there is no other structural abnormality contributing to it such as rotation. Milk protein intolerance can also be a contributing factor and the upper GI small bowel follow through study would provide a clue to this if there appeared to flocculation of the material in the small intestine. This would be treated with a hypoallergenic formula. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,We had unprotected sex and after that took an I-pill within an hour. After 6 to 7 days, she had spotting for 2 to 3 days. It is almost six days up. There is no clue for periods and she is also suffering from cramp, vomiting and nausea. But we have taken test for almost four times. It is always negative. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I can understand your concern. As she took emergency contraceptive pill within one hour, the possibility of pregnancy is less. The bleeding she got after 6 to 7 days could be with ChatDoctor. As she disturbed natural cycle by taking pill, now it may some time for regularization of cycles. And next period may come after one month of spotting. Cramps, nausea may be due to some other causes like infection either vaginal or gastric, renal related, etc. Clinical examination and ultrasound will help in finding out the possible cause of the problem and treatment can be taken accordingly. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Sir, I am Mrs Vanaja Devadoss, 62 years of age, diagnosed for Diabetes II and high BP. I am on a regular dose of Glycomet SR 500 ( 1/2-0- /1/2 ) and Covance 50 , 1 per day morning along with supplements for iron deficinecy ( Bisfer XT 1 per day ) , Mecoblend ( 0-1-0) and also Eltroxin 100 (1 morning). About a month back, on a visit to our native place , a village in Tamil nadu with mosquito menace, I developed dry cough which became noisy and worse ( barking type ) and one day morning, it was palpitation with heart beat 190 p.m. I was on observation with monitor and adenosin injection IV in ICU, and was discharged that evening with the following additional medicines to take for a long time : Calaptin 40mg ( 1-1-1) , Pantocid ( 1-0-0) , Rabium DSR 20 (0-0-1) Montec LC ( 0-0-1) and Teczine ( 1/2-0-0) . More than a month over, the cough is still not subsiding and becomes aggravated on lying down especially by night leading to loss of sleep- too many medicines now- what shall I do ? | Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. It seems that you had an attack of paroxysmal supra-ventricular tachycardia (palpitation with heart beat 190 p.m. controlled with adenosine injection IV)-now on oral Clapton (verapamil 40Β mg) three times a day. Since you have cough at night while lying down. Your basic problem is cardiac(incipient left heart failure). You need to undergo 2-D Echocardiography to evaluate pumping action of your heart and diuretics like furosemide may help. Regards |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hey, i dont know if you can answer this, but heres the thing, i started the three month birth control shot on october 14th 2010. i never went back for my other shot and i havent had my period since early november. me and my fiance want me to be pregnant but i am afriad to take a test because i dont want it to be nagative, how can i tell if im pregnant early without taking a test? | Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion side effects of demo shot is irregular periods, no periods etc. This might present even with single dose. The symptoms of pregnancy like nausea, vomiting,increased urination, sore breasts start around 6 weeks of pregnancy. As you didn't get the periods it is very difficult to predict. And the confirmation is done only by urine pregnancy test or ultrasound. Avoid stress and anxiety. And go for testing. Once the effect of shot is over the periods become regular and the chance of conception increases.Don't worry. Best regards.... |

It also hurts even just if running water touches it. | Hello, You have back pain which worsens after any movement and even touch of water, means you must be having muscle sprain or might be some injury on back by lifting any heavy wt. So muscle spasm may be there on your back around your shoulder blade. Therefore, it is my advice to take rest and apply analgesic & muscle relaxant cream gently on affected area and also take some analgesic & muscle relaxant tab such as diclofenac sodium + Paracetamol+ Chlorzoxazone twice a day. If not relieved by above than you must go for X-Ray(Chest PA View) or MRI and consult a Orthopedic Surgeon or Re habitation center for Physiotherapy advice. Hope You will resolve your Problem, All the best and Good Luck. |

I did a urine pregnancy test on 3rd of this month, it came negative and then I took Regestrone 10 mg for five days one tablet each day from 3rd to 7th. Then on 8th, I did a bhCG which came negative and today I got a slight spotting and when wiping a little brownish kinda discharge came. Am I pregnant? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. No, you are not pregnant as urine pregnancy test and HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test are negative. You have taken Regesterone so your period is delayed more. Your period should start now. It normally takes two to seven days after the last Regesterone tablet. So do not worry you are not pregnant because it is already more than 30 days after unprotected sex and all tests are negative. Brownish discharge can be the starting of menses. You are definitely not pregnant. Do not take much stress. |

What you are thinking to be the acne, may be a cellulitis due to infection with some bacteria. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have culture and sensitivity of the discharge from the eruptions.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi, I m 34 years old, 5 3 , 54 kgs. I don t have any history of PTB or other lung diseases but my recent x-ray result shows that I have a fibrosis on my upper right lung. what causes it? is there any way to cure it or dissolve the scar tissue? pls help me.. I was not cleared with my medical exam for employment because of this..hoping for your answer. thank you | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Any lung insult whether TB or pneumonia or trauma can cause scar. In lung, healing can occur by 1. Fibrosis2. Calcification3. Rarely complete resolution. So having a scar on chest x-ray does not always mean you had TB in the past. It can be seen with trauma or pneumonia too.Similarly, scar does not tell you anything about activity of the disease. So in my opinion you should first consult pulmonologist and get done CT THORAX and Bronchoscopy and BAD (Bronchi Alveolar Lavage) analysis for TB. As CT gives much better idea than chest x-ray about lung parenchymal. If both are negative than you can argue visa authorities about not having active TB. |

The pain in the jaw could be because of the wisdom tooth. Usually the pain from the wisdom tooth cannot be localized, and it radiates to the other sites in the jaw like cheek, temporal region and head. Consult an oral physician and get the radiograph of the wisdom tooth done and get it removed. You can take a course of antibiotics and analgesics like amoxicillin 500Β mg and metronidazole 400Β mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to inflammation or to implant adverse effects. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and performing some tests to investigate for the possible causes: - a resting ECG-some blood lab tests (complete blood count, muscular enzymes, PCR, sedimentation rate, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels). If all these tests result normal, you should consider those symptoms related to implant adverse effects. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes, |

I am heart patient with cholestol problem also, i am 95 kgs ( 56yrs) | Hi Rebuke, It is perfectly normal to get angry when someone disagrees with us. It is a normal human nature. What is required is to learn to control our anger. The first step is to realize that our emotional response is not correct, for which we repent later. Our anger and irritation increases when we have a very stress full situation. Try to do some meditation, learn to smile with every one whether we like that person or not. Smile does not cost us anything, and we do not lose anything but the gain from it is tremendous. Even our enemies will learn to smile back, and in the process all our accumulated tension will disappear and with it our anger will also vanish. |

I had an appt at my GP and was sent to have an urgent scan to which they found a complex cyst measuring 17-18cm in length arising from right adnexa. I have had my bloods to see my CA125 levels and have been referred to the Gynaecologist and have been told the cyst needs to be removed surgically and fast. My biggest and most immediate concern is that it is cancer. There is no history of ovarian , breast or cervical cancer in my family however my father did die of pancreatic cancer . I am terrified as I have two young children and do not want the cyst to be malignant. I want to know what the chances are of it being malignant? Thank you as I am feel sick to the core with worry. Anna | Hello! Thank you for the query. You need to know that it if this cyst would be malignant, it would kill you before reaching half of mentioned size. So if it has reached 18 cm, most likely this is benign lesion what is good news for you. However, you should follow as advised by your gynecologist. One more thing, breast and ovarian cancer in family makes you very suspicious of BRCA1/BRCA2 genes mutation. Therefore, you should consult oncologist or genetics and perform BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation tests. Hope this will help. Regards. |

It is important to know how much is the functioning of his kidneys. The function of various organs is inter linked, and the heart has and effect on the performance of the kidneys and the kidneys have a role on the heart function. Since ejection fraction of heart is 20 percent therefore there is severe compromise in heart function. With this the blood reaching the kidney is also less, and therefore the kidney might not be in a position to filter out the toxic products entirely. Knowing the serum creatinine and GFR might help to predict the expected progress of disease. He is on pacemaker and defibrillator and therefore any abnormal cardiac conditions are taken care of and corrected automatically.

It is unlikely that both rash is the same. Chat Doctor. Skin around the eyes are very sensitive. Have you started using any new face washes or cosmetics? Skin around eyes are also prone for airborne contact allergies. Airborne allergens like pollen, cement, dust etc. can cause the rash. It is better to consult a dermatologist as you don't seem to improve with the creams prescribed by GP. Keep washing your face regularly and frequent application of moisturizer after wash will help.

Lymph node enlargement can occur due to infection or metastasis from breast cancer. Pain on pressing the lump is suggestive of infection.

IgG suggests long term infection. You seem to have been started on AKT 4 on the suspicion that you have/ had genital tuberculosis. But, it is a bit confusing here - if at all you have been carrying tuberculosis for 12 yrs without treatment it would've had spread to different places and been much more severe by now. However, if it is genital tuberculosis indeed, taking AKT-4 will definitely help in normal conception, if both your fallopian tubes are patent and ovaries are working fine. This is because, tuberculosis is known to cause blocked tubes and unfavorable changes in the lining of the uterus. If there are any changes in the reproductive organs i.e. ovaries, fallopian tubes or the uterus, I am afraid you may have to go for IVF again. Your gynecologist must have already checked the patency of the fallopian tubes i.e. they should be hollow. If at all they aren't, options are IVF or surgical reconstruction (with very fewer chances of success). Hope this helps. Chat Doctor. |

Do you have any other medical conditions? f. Do you take any other medicines frequently? Above details are necessary to help you better. However, at present, I would like to make suggestions for you from your given information as follows:1. I usually prescribe my such patients regular montelukast and levocetirizine. I also prescribe them albuterol inhaler to be used on as-and-when-needed basis.2. Furthermore, I would suggest you allergy testing for common air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, molds, insect proteins, pollen and pet dander (if you have pet). It will help you identify the substances causing allergies to you as well as to know the measures to avoid them.3. Based on allergy testing report, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which gradually works on immune system to improve allergy symptoms over a long period.4. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.5. Regular breathing exercise and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals also would help you to improve your lung capacity and immunity respectively over a long duration. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | What can I do to relieve my damaged nerves. I am in constant pain in my chest through my shoulders and the pain runs down to my elbows. I take meds to help this but today my lower jaw was hurting and had the above pain that latest for hours. I finally fell asleep so that helps but when I woke up I still have the pain but not as bad. Thank you | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Neural (nerve related pain) pain needs pregabalin or gabapentin. Pregabalin 75Β mg should be taken once a day at night for 10 days. This will repair your nerves. Along with pregabalin, also take methylcobalamine (vitamin B12) as well this also helps in nerve repair. Apply ice packs on affected areas of chest. 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. |

Thanks for your query on Chat Doctor! Well, if I were your family physician and had you presented to me with this elongate lateral neck nodule, I would like to examine the whole neck region including thyroid, regional lymph nodes, inner throat/larynx as well because I generally see following possibilities in such cases:1. Lymph nodes due to infection in the throat, mouth, ears or thyroid or tuberculosis and in worse case could be cancerous2. Benign cyst-like conditions like bronchial cyst, colloid cyst or lymphatic cystTherefore, you must get the ultrasound and if possible a simple needle biopsy for confirmation and to relieve your concerns. Wishing you good health, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi, whenever i sit for studying especially in the evenings , there is a kind of sensations in my body for streching .Therefore i study nowadays while standing. Even then there is urge to contract my hips and buttock muscles or back. Earlier i used this to discard as more energy.But what is it? | Hello, When you sleep, your muscles lose tone and fluid tends to pool along with your back. Stretching helps to massage fluid gently back into the normal position. Also, your muscles protect themselves from over-extension by inhibiting the nerve impulses as they approach their limit. Causes are lack of physical movement lead to the urge to stretch, deny Chat Doctor. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi Im a 54 year old male and weigh around 169 pounds. Last night I was brushing my teeth when I spit up blood, I also had some acute chest pain. This afternoon, the chest pain started up again on my left side and is getting milder. I have acid reflux, but I dont think thats causing my chest pain. | Hi and thank you for asking in Chat Doctor. According to your complaint better to exclude some lung diseases in order to be sure that everything is ok. Coughing up blood is the sign of lung diseases first and when excluding these last, you can go further with other tests. I would advise you to do as follows:Chest X Rathole blood count PPD testSputum smear for tb EKG Cardiac UltrasoundNasoscopyAfter you have the results first you should see a pulmonologist. According to the above results he will decide for the next step you should follow. I wish you good healthThank you Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I have a month ago I was in intensive care had a stent placed inside me and diagnosed with Kidney stones. Im now out of hospital but for the last five days I have pain when peeing. It does not hurt when I am going but as I finish. My GP has prescribed me antibiotics and im drinking water like its going out of fashion... | HIF you still have got the stent inside you then that explains the symptoms. 2 out of 3 patients who have stents have what are called stent symptoms which include urge urinating, frequency of urination, bleeding in urine now and then, pain/cramps in lower abdomen, pain in the loin area in the sided of stent insertion etc. Not all symptoms occur in all patients. Infection has to be ruled out. Hence, submit a urine sample for culture and keep Chat Doctor. You could take mild painkillers. If pain persists contact the urologist who inserted the stent. |

I m not anymore stressed than i normally would be and I have no allergies I am aware of. What could it be??? | Hi thanks for your question. The small raised bumps which your mentioning could be due to constant itching. Itcung could be due to some allergens present in your environment, or you might be consuming some food to which you are allargicOther common cause of itching include scabies, which is infection and involves whole body. I would suggest you to consult some physician to differentiate between allergic reaction AMD scabies further management will depend on diagnosis. Hope this answer your question. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 3 yr old daughter is on inhaled steroid for asthma. She had several white sores inside her mouth which I think may be thrush. I have nystatin cream (USP, 100,000 per gram), From when she had a bad diaper rash. Is it okay to apply the cream inside her mouth. | Hi, thank you for posting. From what you refer I can say that your daughter suffer from Oral candidiasis (thrush). To treat candidiasis I recommend Statin oral suspension 100 000 units/ml 30ml. The dosage is 2 ml, four times daily. Place one-half of dose, 1 ml, in each side of mouth and avoid feeding for 5 to 10 minutes. I don't recommend Statin cream that you have because it doesn't give effect anymore. It can give effect because it has more than 2 weeks opened.However, to be sure for the diagnosis you need:1. Oral culture.2. Complete blood count.3. Urine test. Contact a pediatrician. I hope this information is helpful. All the best. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I was stabbed in the forehead with a broken glass bottle and rushed to the ER. When the doctors stitched me up they told my cousin that I had a hairline fracture. My forehead is now swollen as if I were allergic to bees and was stung on the forehead. How long will it take my face to go back to normal? Thank you. | Hello, I have studied your case. A hairline fracture in the scalp can take up to six weeks for healing. You need to apply ice and avoid using any tight pillow or support for your head. If there is any itching then you need to contact your skin specialist as this is not related to fracture. It can be due to hair oil or scalp oil. For swelling, you can take Broken tablet for pain relief. I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I Started going to a doctor about 1 year ago and told her I was having horrible back pain.. she suggested I get a gastric bypass and a breast reduction. I was very happy with that. my insurance is Medicaid so there are certain loop holes you have to jump through to get Medicaid to pay for this. suck as doing physical therapy ect.. I was fine with that.. She also Put me on a pain pill called hydro codone medication I could take it up to 3 times a day.. To my surprise with taking the medication I was able to walk a lot more, I could exercise and actually live life with out pain. In 6 months time after being on them I lost 50 lbs. I was so happy!!! Then I moved and started going to a new doctor assuming it wouldn t matter what doctor I went to they would still do the same thing. They didn t they took me off my medicine. im gaining weight back and im in a lot of pain again.. the knew doctor wants me to get a breast reduction but not the gastric bypass, I don t know why.. Im 300lbs.. im miserable. | Dear patient you have described your medical history in detail but nothing about your back pain. What is your age and profession? Have you suffered any trauma? If you are of middle age suffering from back pain and no trauma kindly get yourself investigated for radiograph of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views. I would advise diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for pain relief. Take antacid 40Β mg twice a day. Start back strengthening and back extension exercise. Practicing yoga will be a good long term solution. If you were benefiting from previous doctors treatment then why you changed the doctor? |

I also use a hot pack on my back but it only gives momentary relief. I am also under treatment for osteoporosis. Please advise. | Thank you for choosing ChatDoctorBased on your description, it is likely that osteoporosis can be causing the pain that you are having. I do hope that your Doctor has started you on vitamin D and Calcium to help prevent the problems and symptoms as far as possible. There are a few more things that you can do to see if they help:Ice the back for 15 mins at a time Then warm the back with a hot pack for 5 mincemeat this after 1 hours, you can do stretches for the lower back and also massage the area. Follow up after 5 days. All the best. Another therapy is giving local injections to stop the pain, but this is a last resort. Hope this helps you |
