ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am a 12 year old male. As early as 7years I find that my heart beat so heavy and fast some times. It feels very uncomfortable it some times force me to cough to feel better. It been happening more often as I get older. Like every 2 months. It last for about 3o secs. Can you please help. | Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern.Don't worry, it is nothing serious. There are different reasons why someone experiences fast and heavy heart beats. It might be a simple sinus tachycardia. This means that your heart beats over 100 beats for minute. We expect that your maximal heart rate must be 220 minus your age. It might be a different rhythm issue. It might be what we call supra ventricular tachycardia. You might feel that your heart begins running fast and hard suddenly for some seconds, and it goes away. This tachycardia s might happen because of simple emotional stress, anemia, hyperthyroidism, a congenital heart anomaly ect.it is quite known in cardiology that Jung ages experience this kind of palpitations, and they are nothing serious. So, my opinion as a cardiologist is that you should do an electrocardiogram, an echo-cardiograph and a holder monitoring just be sure. Mean wile avoid caffeine products because they rise heart frequencies Hope I was helpful. Best regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi I have a 25 cycle, periods are always regular, me and my husband are trying for a baby and wondering when i would be ovulating ? I am thinking day 10, would I be correct? and should me try say day 10/11&12? Also if a few months were to pass and nothing happens when should I see a doctor maybe 3 months if still not pregnant? thanks | Hello, Pregnancy is possible only, if unprotected sexual intercourse is done with ejaculation around ovulation time in regular period. You should have to try at least one year and after that if you are unable to conceive, then you need to consult with your gynecologist for several investigation and clinical examination. Ovulation occurs approx 14 days before due date. In your case, it is around on 11th day of cycle and fertile days will be from 9th to 13th day. In this time period, you need to do unprotected sex daily. You can use ovulation prediction kit (OPK) to predict ovulation and prepare for that day. Avoid stress, take healthy diet with Vitae & Folic acid supplements, control body wt and proper sleep. Be well. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi,i m hajra 30 yrs old, got married 4 years back,i have been operated once for left ovarian on 15.07.2010 and that was removed and also tubercular infection was detected in pelvic region,the course of t.b.has been completed but after 6 months the cyst recurred again on my right as well as left ovaries and both are 7.5 cm of size,i have no child and i dont want to be operated again,can homeopathic remedy is available for me? | Hello Hara, Welcome to Chat Doctor. The kind cyst you have mentioned of the ovary could be cyst due to endometriosis, in which case the cysts have a tendency to recur. It could even be a functional cyst, which is seen generally in a case when, ovulation i.e..removal of egg from ovary, does not take place and the follicle continues to grow forming a cyst. This is seen in cases of Polycystic Ovarian Disease. In such case there is a hormonal imbalance too. I would suggest you to get your hormonal levels done after discussing with your GAEC, in case not yet done. And follow the treatment as advice. Homeopathic treatment, of course might be of some help, as long as the cause is not something which mandates a surgical treatment only. Hence, the best person to commend upon the same would be your GAEC, after it is thoroughly evaluated as to the cause of the cyst. If it is still of tubercular origin. Hope I could answer your query well. Get well soon. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello,I first encountered kidney stone problem in 2001 and had to be admitted in Jaipur Golden for 2-3 days, and then the stone flushed.After that in 2015 Oct, I again had severe pain and got an ultrasound done and the stones were in both sides in the ureters. Then the pain subsided by taking pain killers.Now, on April 15, I first noticed blood in the urine for 2-3 days, first 2 days darker and then lighter, and after it subsided I had unbearable pain for 2 days in a row, had to get Voveran injections and then I am having now Kuluth dal water and homeopatChatDoctoredicines. Can you please suggest a foolproof treatment for it as I do not want to go through that horrible pain again. | Hello and thanks for using Chat Doctor .your condition seems to stem from a case of renal stones being impacted causing spasmodic pain, and erosion of renal or ureteric epithelium(surface) leading to bleeding. Voveran in is diclofenac which is not preferable for spasmodic pain if a patient had come to my clinic for the same, I would have given him/her antispasmodics for early cessation of pain, after which, a X-ray of kidney ureter and bladder for location and size of the stone, while simultaneously ruling out other diseases and conditions. I believe it will be in your best interest to see a surgeon or nephrologist at the earliest. Hope this information was useful to you. Get well soon |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I have been unwell for the past 7 days with flu like symptoms, and have been in bed for most of the time. I have had a terrible dry cough and not brought up mucus. I was referref to the nurse at my doctors surgery on Friday who said my chest sounded clear and gave me antibiotics and a cough suppressant. I have ben up all night with crippling pains when I cough . The pain and really tender extended area seems to be to the high left of my abdomen just under my ribs. As I had a perforated duodenal ulcer a months ago I am worried that I have split something due to my violent coughing or could it be my chest or lungs. It is really tender all the time but unbearable when I cough. What shall I do, shall I go to Aand E in the morning? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, you should definitely consult doctor for your symptoms. You are having constant cough with right sided lower chest pain. This is seen in pneumonia and pleural effusion. So better to get done chest x-ray first. Chest x-ray is must rule out these conditions. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry much.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I had the copper coil fitted as an emergency contraception on the 5th day of the condom coming off during intercourse - (I was at my most fertile period mid month) I also took the morning after pill 19 hours after intercourse. 6 days after I took the MAP and 3 days after I had the copper coil fitted l bled a reasonably heavy period for 9 days. It s 5 weeks and 4 days since I last had intercourse and my period is 5 days late. I am spotting brown blood but minimal - only when I wipe after a pee. I have taken 2 pregnancy tests and both have been a strong negative. Is this normal of the copper coil or could I be pregnant? On research, the copper coil is supposed to increase blood and not the opposite during menstruation. I am experiencing painful breasts but no other symptoms. I am anxious as I desperately don t want to be pregnant. I hope you can advise me. Thank you. | Hi, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. The cause of the delayed period and the breast tenderness is the high hormone content in the emergency contraceptive pill that you have consumed. This is also the cause of the with Chat Doctor. Home pregnancy tests read well when performed 3-7 days after a missed period with a fresh early morning sample of urine. If you wish to exclude earlier, please get the estimation of the serum beta-ChatDoctor titles. Further, a trans-vaginal sonogram done a week or two after the missed period gives the status of the pelvic organs and excludes/confirms pregnancy. Do not worry, you have very little chance of conception. Remember that stress also can delay a period. Hope this helps. |

I went through your children history and would like to make suggestions for him/her as follows:1. Personally I prefer paracetamol to ibuprofen for fever in flu or flu-like infections. The reason is better safety profile. If fever does not respond to paracetamol, then only I would suggest you ibuprofen.Also, I would suggest tepid sponging for fever in addition to medicines.2. I would also suggest him a cough syrup containing an antihistamine (like pheniramine) and decongestant (phenylephrine). It will take care of other symptoms like cold and to some extent, cough.3. Maintenance of HY Chat Doctor. Please ensure that your child is taking plenty of fluids during the day. I would suggest you to offer him oral fluids frequently.4. During a viral infection, it is very common to have loss of appetite. Please do not force your child food. Let him/her take according to appetite and continue to offer him fluids in between.5. Viral infections usually take 5-7 days to resolve. If he develops any new symptom, fever continues or increases or does not respond, I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician who will examine her and also will suggest him tests to look for infections other than viral infections. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your child a very good recovery and a very good health ahead.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am about four week pregnant and bleeding. I have an appointment next week but I am scared now. THey said it would be implantantion bleeding but from what I have read it is to heavy for that. I have had no pain other that feeling a little swollen down there and it is not even really uncomfortable. IS there a chance that the baby is still ok? | Hallow Dear, How and by whom your pregnancy was diagnosed? If it was a confirmed pregnancy, you cannot take this bleeding lightly. Any amount of bleeding during any stage of pregnancy is alarming; it is not a good sign. Implantation bleeding is never so heavy; and moreover, it should be labelled as implantation bleeding only after ruling out the other causes which can threaten the pregnancy. Fortunately, you do not have any pain. So even if it is threatened miscarriage, it can be managed by Progesterone. The other probable cause of such bleeding can be due to molar pregnancy which may be diagnosed by Chat Doctor estimation and/or ultrasonography. Any cervical lesion also may cause bleeding; however it would not be such heavy and continuous bleeding. Please restrict yourself to the bed, use sanitary napkins and save them for doctors inspection. I am advising you not to wait for your scheduled appointment with the Obstetrician due in next week; report to the Obstetrician ASAP for proper diagnosis and appropriate management to save the pregnancy. Hope this helps you. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I fell on a patch of Ice directly onto my knee cap. It instantly swelled double the size with a pretty big bruise on the side. No pain really it s sore and achy but the entire area is more numb than anything. Had X-rays done with no serious results however now it s starting to burn and the lump on my knee is hard and warm | Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. It seems to me that you developed a hematoma (collection of blood) around your knee which has now organized. If the swelling has become hard and warm, possibly this has become inflamed and needs to be shown to an orthopedic surgeon at the earliest, who after a personal physical examination might advise you for an MRI of the injured knee joint of yours to reach to the nearest diagnosis. Further management would depend on the clinical findings, and investigation reports. Till that you could go for an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. |

Thank you | Hello and thank you for asking Chat Doctor, I understand your concern and I studied your case. Celiac disease is one of the conditions which could be associated with increased eosinophils. There are also a lot of other gastrointestinal conditions connected with this high level so you should have to wait for the results of your tests. Your low iron levels could be a result of malabsorption associated to celiac disease and therefore your bowels don't absorb enough iron. I hope this answer was helpful to you. |

Unfortunately there are no foods which can avoid conception. You can go for sterilization as a permanent solution.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a cervical spine MRI study. Regarding the palpitations, I would recommend performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels) in order to exclude possible metabolic causes that may trigger palpitations.

As per your complaint if your husband is not infected with herpes virus, and you are diagnosed with herpes there is a possibility that you have been exposed to some infectious things that have been used by an infected person like glasses, towels etc. In case if you do not have any breakout there is a possibility that the viral count in your body and over the surface of skin is low to cause outbreak. As your husband is still not infected I would suggest you to consult an Infectious Medicine Specialist and get evaluated and he can start anti-viral medication so that you do not get an outbreak. Take precautions while intercourse to prevent your husband from getting infected. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. |

My blood pressure spikes at different times for no reason so she put me on this just wondering if im taking them at proper times and the facts of the two together | Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor Anti-hypertensive medications work in different ways to help lower the blood pressure. Triamterene 37.5/25 is a combination of two diuretics, and they would reduce the fluid volume to cause a reduced blood pressure. Bisoprolol is in the beta blocker family of medications. It works by relaxing the blood vessels and slowing the heart rate. They would reduce the blood pressure in different ways. Once you use them consistently at approximately the same time each day, it would be fine. I hope this helps |

A thorough clinical examination is advised. As fibromyalgia is a condition where there is inflammation of the fibers of the muscles. A single muscle contains numerous muscle fibers and this muscle fibers act together to produce muscle contraction leading to movement of the muscle. As most cases in my clinical practice respond well to a combination of physical therapy, meditation and breathing exercises. Physical therapy includes - therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy and exercises Meditation - helps to reduce the anxiety and depression Breathing exercises - this helps to improve the blood carrying oxygen cells and reduce the metabolic waste formed.

Welcome to Chat Doctor forum, Treatment for acne and acne scars are two different treatment. First get your acne treated. Once you are through then go for scars. Treatment for acne depends upon the stage of acne. Selection of right soap or face wash is most important. You should not use oily soaps. Use decade acne soap once daily. Apply mandolin cream topically over the lesions once a day. Take tab Literal(500Β mg) once daily for 5 days(1hr before food). Chat Doctor. Take good 7hr sleep. For scars, you can go for lasers like fractional laser which is the latest of the lot. If its mild then even dermatome is ok. For spider veins you have to go for lasers again and it's a different laser than that for acne scars. You can go for 532 nm q-switched laser or long pulsed Nd:YAG laser or a PDL(pulse dye laser) laser which is the specific laser. Some doctors even do electron cautery for the same. If you can tell me where you belong to, then I can guide where to consult for all the three treatment. Take care, |

Also remember the fact that the throat infection has subsided is a good sign that he is responding to the treatment, also the fever is not very high so don't worry much The upset is stomach could be due to the antibiotic, however you haven't clarified what kind of upset is stomach did you mean, is it such as heart burn or diarrhea .

Could this be a sign of diabetes or leukemia or something that could be corrected surgically? | Hi, By large leukocytes I think you mean many leukocytes. If so, coupled with blood in her urine it probably means she has a urinary infection that can happen in a little girl. I am sure your doctor will be able to manage the infection with appropriate antibiotics when the report of culture comes. Only if required other tests may be conducted. Regarding Leukemia, I hope a routine blood examination was done which would have ruled it out. Similarly, for Diabetes a blood sugar if not already done will be done.

As far as feeling of disrespect and used is concerned, there is nothing like that. Problem is that we take everything from our near and dear ones in high intensity, the reason probably is expectations. We expect a lot from people on whom we rely, so if that expected things do not happen it leads to disappointment. My advice to you is:1. Make yourself busy in anything you like.2. Join some course or take up some job and if that is also not possible then join some organization where you can contribute with your efforts.3. Report to your doctor about anything related to medicines.4. You can try alternative medicine like Homeopathy also to help in coming out of this phase.5. Try to be happy and make others happy.6.

Basically every medicine we use daily is a concentrate of special chemical substances which are required in our body in only small portions and if we use them excessively then we suffer from adverse effects. I would like to know some question in more detail so that I can help you in managing your issues. Mostly when I encounter the patient like you, I offer them a separate session with me where I can discuss with them in detail regarding following issues:1. Why are you overdosing?2. When you first started this in your lifetime?3. How do you feel when you have overdosed yourself?4. What symptoms are you having at present?5. Are you mentally disturbed or it's just a habit that you overdose?6. Will having a psychological support will benefit you in managing your possibility of next attempt of overdosing? I personally think that you are aware of this fact that the overdosing is harmful for you but still you are doing it is because you are unable to sort out anything which you want to be sorted out and this is a positive aspect that you discussed this issue here because you want to feel relieved. If you could share with me the details of everything behind your this action of overdosing then we can discuss and come to a conclusion which can be beneficial for you. The most important thing is that you should consult a doctor urgently so that the medicine can be flushed out of your system so that your liver, kidneys or brain are not damaged.

Proper treatment can only be made by pinpoint diagnosis. Regularization of period is very much required to conceive early. Pregnancy depends on proper timing of ovulation & unprotected sex. Ovulation occurs 14 days prior to expected due date in regular cycle. Ovulation prediction kit is quite helpful.

Are there any other symptoms such as irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, red rash on face when fed with milk? If none of the above happens, milk allergy is very unlikely. She definitely needs to have allergy tests done before you switch her to another milk preparation and allergy tests to other foods/aeroallergens to ensure we are not missing anything obvious. Please ensure her immunizations are up-to-date. Cough and colds at this age especially if she is going to the nursery is common as viral outbreaks occur at times of season change. Please also ensure she is seen by a pediatrician to ensure she is not having bronchial hyperactivity or an asthma like episode when she gets the cough.

As per your complaint fever and chills after wisdom tooth extraction can occur in case if there is spread of infection known as Septicemia but most commonly it occurs within a day or two after extraction but in case you have taken an antibiotic course after extraction chances of infection are less but in case you have not taken antibiotics can cause infection causing fever and chills. It can also occur due to non-healing extraction socket if the blood clot is dislodged from its socket leaving it empty and causing" Chat Doctor. . It is also possible that fever is due to the viral infection, and it can not be related to tooth extraction. I would suggest you to take Acetaminophen 500Β mg three times a day and rest. In case if the fever completely subsides it is fine otherwise you need to consult a physician and get evaluated and treated accordingly. In case of infection due to extraction a course of antibiotics and acetaminophen will relieve. Hope this information helps.

That s the only available dosage in my country. I ve read some blogs that Nordette should be 28 pills and it has a light orange color with a different dosage of what I bought. The Nordette pill I bought has white color. I m so worried. I took 4 pills 30 hours after the unprotected sex then took another 4 pills after 12 hours. Is the Nordette pill the same as the one advertised as emergency contraception? Please help | Hi vilcebrenede welcome to Chat Doctor, Corvette is a combined oral contraceptive pill composed of 150microgram of levonorgesterol and 30 micrograms of ethinylestradiol (or) 0.15milligram and 0.03milligram respectively and the pills can be of either white color or orange color.... Actually those 21 pills are the contraceptive pills and the remaining 7 are iron tablets, so it can contain either 21 or 28 pills.... Corvette can be taken as emergency pill up to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse and the dose you took is same, so it is safe only... Now coming to lady pills, if you have taken(taking) the lady pills regularly they offer an effective protection against pregnancy. So in all aspects you are safe now and nothing to worry..........

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am 65 and have been diagnosed with stage 4 follicullar lymphoma. it has spread fast and is causing plural enfusions in my left lung. i have had bypass surgery 8 yrs ago and only have one kidney. however i am in good physical shape, What is my prognosis? | Hi, Thanks for writing in. I hope you are under required treatment for follicular lymphoma. Follicular lymphoma prognosis varies with the risk factors. The high risk factors are age above 60 years, stage III or IV disease, more than 4 groups of lymph nodes involved, blood hemoglobin less than 12 gram/ DL and raised serum LDH level. As you have at least 2 of the above therefore you are under intermediate risk. At intermediate risk, patients with follicular lymphoma under treatment might have 78 percent survival at 5 years and 51 percent survival at 10 years. Follicular lymphoma is a slow growing type of lymphoma which responds very well to treatment, but can rarely be cured. Despite the fact that it cannot be cured, the prognosis is generally very good, and the median survival is about 8-15 years in many people who have it. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi I have been having this weird pain in my lower left abdomen and especially hurts when I jump. Almost as if something is bouncing and straining something. I also had very intense me trial cramps after running. This was in June or July though. But was the worst pain I have ever felt. I also get very sharp pains in my anus and have a very big hemorrhoid . I have lost quite a bit of weight. I was around 135 this time last year and now am just under 120. Lost most of the weight within a month which was last December or Jan. I wasn t sick or anything and was eating normal. Then steadily lost weight till august/septmber where I plateaued to just under120. It hurts when I push on my left side of stomach. My bowel movements vary but mostly I m going three times a day. Or will hit a day where I don t go at all. I find I m very thirsty sometimes(an unquenchable thirst) and get full very quickly. I have also been having heart palpitations every day. This started in September I think. I also have been getting quick intense sharp pains in lower abdomen. They don t happen as often though. Also had this cirrhosis like rash on neck that has mostly gone away except for these two small raised red bumps. Think it was an allergic reaction to several mosquito bites. I m also very sensitive to smells. I am on tricyclen lo birth control and have been having my period regularly and not so irregular( was still getting period every month bug would be few days late sometimes. Would be nice to know what is going on. I should also mention that sometimes I would get nauseous for no apparent reason and would vomit several times in the night. Other times I would wake a up and be nauseous and very sweaty and warm and feel the need to defecate. The nausea would usually go away after I had a bm but the one time I was extremely nauseous for a couple hrs after. This happened mostly in august and September but not happening as often now nor as severe. Im a 20 year old female with allergies or any medical conditions. Hope u can help me. | Hello k, You have a myriad of symptoms and am unable to like all these together for one diagnosis. It is likely that all are unrelated apart from the rashes on the neck and red raised bumps that is likely to be urticaria. You may have fibromyalgia, but it is important that you exclude other medical causes before coming to that diagnosis. Blood tests such as CBC, ESR, Liver profile, ANA, lipid profile, fasting sugar, TPO antibodies, thyroid profile would be a start. U/S abdomen for your pains + UGI endoscopy to exclude HERD. Only then one can try and get to a treatment plan. Thanks. |

Doctor has advised us to give him Zerolac instead of cowmilk as he was suffering from diarrhea last march. What is the alternate option of Zerolac? How much we have to continue??? | Hi, I'm Chat Doctor. 5 kg weight for 18 months child is slightly on lower side. Apart from weight growth and activities of child are also important. If baby is active and gaining weight regularly (although a bit on lower side), it is not much reason for concern. Try to give him frequent and energy dense foods to help gain weight. Zerolac was started in March. Is he still having diarrhea? Zero lac is used for lactose intolerance, most cases of which are transient in nature secondary to temporary lactase deficiency post prolonged diarrhea, I do not see any reason to continue it for such a long time unless there is permanent lactase deficiency. If we are considering cows milk allergy or intolerance than also 6 months have passed and a trial of normal milk diet can be given after discussing your doctor. Hope this answers your question.

Adenoids are lymph nodes which are enlarged in infections of ear nose and throat, which is a protective mechanism by body. Enlarged size leads to obstruction of airway and nose cause breathing and swallowing problem. Your meta spray is a type of steroid which decreases inflammation and decreases the size. This is temporary only. Whenever you get infection it will again increase in size. Surgery is the only permanent treatment. If your baby got relieved with spray and doing fine you can ignore all the medication now. Just take care of any running nose and ear infections immediately.

Because the high pressure puts a severe strain on the blood vessel wall resulting in weakening the blood vessel wall. Moreover, the high lipid and cholesterol in the blood deposit on the blood vessel wall leading to losing its elasticity. In this case, the blood vessel wall becomes weaker and more liable to develop an aneurysm. Second, the Chat Doctor. Third, you should do Kidney function test and lipid profile in the blood.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My mom had knee surgery a few months ago and she has recently had these bruises that will itch and then flare up with red lumps like an allergic reaction they last a couple of days and when they disappear her skin stays a darker shade of her normal skin tone. Her surgeon said it might be a reaction to the pain meds and to just apply hydrocortisone cream. It doesn t seem to be helping any suggestions?? | Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your mothers history and would like to make suggestions for her as follows:1. Pain-medications from NSAIDs groups are very much known to cause such reactions. If your mother is taking such medications, they could be the first cause to think about.2. In that case, I usually suggest my patients' paracetamol as safer pain medication. If it does not help, some pain-medicines such as celecoxib, rofecoxib, etc. might help.3. For treatment of itching and skin lesions, I suggest my patients' levocetirizine + montelukast, which helps.4. If your mother is not taking pain medications, there are many possible causes of such itchy lesions, which should be diagnosed by detailed information and appropriate investigations. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your mother the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards. |

By your history and description, possibility of type 2 (hypercarbia) respiratory failure is more in his case. It is common in COPD patients, due to expiratory flow limitations. So carbon dioxide remains in the body, and it is known as hypercarbia. Excess carbon dioxide suppress central nervous system (CNS - brain). So patient feels Chat Doctor. It is reversible condition with ventilatory support. So in my opinion, you should take him to the hospital and start ventilatory support to clear hypercarbia.

Showed a cyst in my Kidney 1.6 cm. and i have multiple small mesenteric nonspecific lymph nodes present. I have been in pain for about 9 months (like the flu) which my doctors have been treating me for fibromyalgia . Just wondering if all of this could be related? | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Urinary bladder holds the urine that flows down from your kidneys (you may be knowing that). Hence, unless you have emptied your bladder by passing urine just prior to the scan, it is normal for it to be containing some urine and hence distended. One or two odd simple cysts in the kidneys are a normal feature and nothing to worry about. These two have noting to do with Fibromyalgia. In regard to your other health issues (fibromyalgia in particular), it would help to know more about you and details of your symptoms and tests before giving any opinion. Best wishes. RB |

I sleep with pillows and head of bed elevate. The cough produces thick white sputum. The cough occasionally will happen throughout the day. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Rib fractures can cause atelectasis (partial collapse of part of lung). Rib fractures prevent movement of lung infections that area. So there is passive collapse (atelectasis) of lung in that area which is causing cough, congestion and mucus production. So get done chest x-ray and HRCT thorax to diagnose atelectasis.
