ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor, I have been taking Concerta XL for ADHD for 10 days now. I have started taking 18 mg per day and after seven days I increased it to 36 mg. However, I do not feel the effects anymore, initially, when I was taking 18 mg it was working, but it no longer works. Can you develop a tolerance to Concerta XL? Please help. | Hello. Concerta XL needs to be gradually titrated up according to your age, body weight and clinical response, i.e improvement in symptoms and any side effects. I note that it is still early days since you commenced on Concerta. XL. You will not be developing tolerance in this timeframe. For your weight (92 kg), perhaps you may need a higher dose provided there are no contraindications. Discuss with your psychiatrist or treating team about titrating up to 45 mg a day or 54 mg a day. You will need to be regularly followed up, during the initial period of starting stimulants. Also, try to follow cognitive behavioral techniques alongside medication for optimal management of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder) symptoms. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,My age is 23 years and on the seventh day of my period. I had intercourse for the first time at 11 AM. Then, I had a sudden bleeding spot starting and I took I-pill at 6 PM. I have started nausea, feeling like vomiting, and next morning chills with fever, and weakness. So., I am worried about pregnancy. Any chance there is pregnancy? | Hello. As you said it is your first time having intercourse, you observed bleeding and then after an emergency pill, you had vomiting and then fever and chill. After the first time of penetrative vaginal sex, there Is hymen rupture that causes bleeding after sex. That could be a bit different in amount from person to person. After first sex, you may have some symptoms. Those can be exaggerated by hormonal emergency pills and differ from person to person. As you have taken I-pill already if it is taken in the right dosage, then least chances of pregnancy actually. Pregnancy is expected more likely in the fertileperiod with unprotected sex than in the rest of the cycle. And after I-pill, it is least likely. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online Take care. |

By your history I think you are having uncorrected rectus excavated. It Is a kind of rib cage anomaly. With age this anomaly can cause restrictive lung disease. In these lungs are restricted to expand due to rib cage anomaly. So lungs become weak and it further damages heart. So right sided heart failure with cor pulmonale and pulmonary hypertension can be seen in these patients. Better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) and 2D Echo to rule out all these. Start chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercise. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Can any of the emergency contraception options work if sex was after ovulation? I had sex (with a condom issue) on day 20 of my cycle. My cycle varies between 21-23 days. Do any of the options (next choice or ella) prevent implantation? Or is it so late in my cycle that there is no risk of fertilisation because no viable eggs exist? I am 41. It is now hour 60 after the condom broke. I waited to see if my period would arrive but it hasn t yet. Research seems to doubt whether next choice would work after ovulation, but that Ella might. I can t tell the pro lifer agenda from the anti and wanted medical advice rather than newspaper reports. I don t know whether to take Next Choice today (I have 12 hours left to hit 72) or take Ella in the next day or two if my period doesn t come. Thanks for your help. | Hi, Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. Normally, you can only get pregnant if you have unprotected sex during the time when you are ovulating, if ovulation has already occurred that means you can't get pregnant in this cycle, this is what was taught to me by my teachers, so unless I was taught wrong, you should be okay. But taking an emergency pill won't hurt your chances, as such I recommend you take the Ella pills, since they work up to 5 days after unprotected sex. I hope this answered your question. |

After going through your query I think you are suffering from chronic backache. Treatment of back pain is exercises and analgesics (diclofenac SR). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as attract three times a day after meals) is required. Consulting with treating doctor is advised. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked. If it is low then vitamin D supplementation(weekly with milk) can be taken. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. I think your stress is related to it as stresses increases pain sensitivity. I think your query answered |

Most common cause for breathing difficulty is bronchospasm.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am now 66 and since the age of 22 I have had periods of becoming aware of a missed beat sensation. It feels like there is a hiatus - as though my heart has stopped for a moment followed by a stronger than normal beat. If I feel my pulse there is indeed a gap in the rhythm of my heart which corresponds with the feeling of the missed beat . I was told by a cardiologist about 20 years ago that I get an extra systolic beat and then a post extra systolic beat which is the one I feel. At the moment I am getting this a few times a minute. In the past it can go on like this for days or weeks. I always find it mildly disconcerting and wonder if there is a way of encouraging my heart to return to its normal rhythm. I don t get any other symptoms or pain. | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your complaints, I would explain that when you have an extrasystolic beat, it is followed (after a compensatory pause) by a post-extrasystolic beat that is stronger and disturbing. For a better evaluation of those ectopic beats, I would recommend you to perform an ambulatory 24 to 48 hours ECG monitoring, in order to investigate the nature of those extrasystoles, as well as their quantity. It is also needed to study the heart structure and function by a cardiac ultrasound, coupled with some additional lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone blood levels, chest X-ray, serum electrolytes, BUN and creatinine, etc.). If you have a structurally normal heart and the extrasystolic arrhythmia is not clinically important (according to Holder monitoring), probably you are not going to get prescribed Chat Doctor. If an etiologic factor is detectable, a proper correction would resolve your heart beats issue. Hope to have been helpful to you. Greetings! |

Delay in periods and negative pregnancy test results, can be due to absence of ovulation. You can repeat the urine pregnancy test after another 5 days. If the test is negative, you can simply wait for the onset of periods or induce the periods with progesterone tablets. Your treating doctor can guide you further about the doses and with Chat Doctor. Please get USG done to rule out PCs as a cause of an ovulation. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks. |

I am using tea tree oil and BioFade for three weeks but no effect. One doctor prescribed Isotretinoin, but I have not used it because of the side effects. Kindly tell me the effective treatment for this. | Hello. You mentioned that your acne started only three months ago. Hence there could be triggering factors like stress (you said). Therefore the best remedy to treat your acne is to ad ChatDoctor. In your case, you should try and avoid stress. Stress sometimes leads to harmonal disturbances, which in turn cause acne. If you do not want to use Isotretinoin, you may use Adapalene or Salicylic Acid ointments, which also give effective results. Even before going into the sun, you can use a good sunscreen with Spf 50. Before going to sleep, wash your face and apply a gentle moisturizer with vitamin E. This should help. If you have more questions, please get back to me with a picture. Take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,my husband,30has been diagnosed with mvp with trival mr 3 years ago, that time he experienced palpitations, because of what he went to cardiologist, since then he is fine, no medications,my question is how often he should repeat echo and how fatal it is? | Hello Thanks for posting at Chat Doctor. Mitral valve prolapse is not a serious condition and people suffering from MVP lead a normal life. But of course there must be regular ECG's and 2D Echo to see if there is any progression of disease in form of leak between the valves (MR). So yearly 2 D echo has to be done. Also since he has a prolapsed valve, it is more prone to blood-borne infections (infective endocarditis). So any surgery if required to be done anywhere in the body in the future, he must be on prophylactic antibiotics. Otherwise, he can lead a symptom free life. As your cardiologist has already evaluated you for palpitations, you can be secure enough. I recommend taking an ECG during the symptoms of palpitations. If ECG during this period is normal, you can stop worrying about it. Wishing him good healthRegards |

The recommended heart rate range is between 60 and 100 beats per min and your is around 60, so you need not worry about that. Just get an EKG done to make sure the heart rhythm is A SINUS RHYTHM. If it is then just relax and if not then you need to consult a Cardiologist personally. I wish you good health |

The type of pie you are describing seems to be due to lung ailment. Most commonly this type of pain occurs in pleural effusion, which can be easily diagnosed by a chest X-ray, u can refer a pulmonologist for that. Second most common reason can be peptic ulcer at that site, so you have to take some proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole.

Im not able to walk.Could I possible have a blood clot forming the warafin is breaking it up? | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Yes, the most likely cause of coughing small amounts of blood in your cases, could be warfarin-related. Warfarin makes the blood thin, which results in bleeding at times. The reason for your warfarin use in not clear from your description. The dose of warfarin depends on the indication for using warfarin. I feel the dose may have to be reduced for a few days, after which you should recheck the PT, INR; and then adjust the dose of warfarin appropriately. I hope it helps.

Before this, I would like to ask you if you have any Diabetes or high blood pressure issue. If so please kindly get it checked and monitored by a physician. Next, this bluish or blackish or purplish discoloration is due to something called varicose veins. You need to meet up a vascular surgeon and get a Doppler scan done, so we can some inputs if that is the one. There might be a possibility that you may be put under some medication for the same. You can use hot water fermentation and do the maximum exercise of the calf muscle like ankle toe movements keeping the leg over the pillow.

I have had them a few times in my life but they have been more frequent laterly. Should i be worried about this, it feels kind if like a spasm, similar to the one i get in my back when i bend over now and then I am 24 with three children , thanks | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of pulled muscle related shooting pain is more likely because your pain is associated with movements (bending). But better to first get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases. If both these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Avoid sudden bending. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. Take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.

I hope you had follicular monitoring with all previous cycles of camphene therapy. One method of treatment involves camphene citrate (Closed or Aerophone) taken in pill form for 5 days at the beginning of a cycle. For women whose only infertility problem is an ovulation, up to 80% of patients will ovulate using this medication and 50% of those will conceive. This success rate improves with HMG (gonadotropin)Your follicular monitoring seems normal this month, and you ovulated on time. So chances of conception are pretty high, if your partners' semen analysis is normal and your fallopian tubes are patent on testing. The chances may be increased by combining GUI (intrauterine insemination) with the stimulationTake care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello Dr.I am 29 years old. I am 62 and weigh 230 and for the past 6 months I have had very intense chest pain. I have gone to the ER numerous times and have followed up with my Cardiologist. The following exams have been done: bloodwork, EKG, catscan of the heart, stress test, sonogram of the chest, chest x-ray, and a I wore a 24 hr heart monitor. All test continue to come back negative and I am sent home each time with a clean bill of health. A few months ago, I went to a GI and was diagnosed with GERD, esophaghitis, hiatal hernia, and mild gastritis. I also went to a therapist since my chest pain continued. I have been prescribed Nexium, Adavan, and Zoloft to treat the GI problems and anxiety. But I can not understand how my GI issues can be causing such intense chest pain. I keep thinking that maybe there is another underlying cause that is being overlooked. I am still concerned that I may have a cardiac related problem. I am eating much better and taking medicines as prescribed. What else could this intense chest pain be? I have read it could be muscular. I just want answers so that I can move forward. Who else should I follow up with and are there other tests that I should have done?Armando | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. First, no need to worry about heart diseases as a cause for your chest pain because your extensive cardiac work up is normal. In my opinion, you are mostly having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) related symptoms. HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of intense chest pain. Only Chat Doctor. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. 2. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Go for walking after meals. 5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux. Follow all these and you will mostly improve. Sometimes, musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar kind of pain. So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health.

This can be because of the transient nerve compression. If you have any grossly decayed tooth on the same side or any missing third molar. Most of the times unerupted or decayed third molar are the cause. In case you do not have any of it the reason may be the viral infection like influenza, which you had experienced recently or herpes. As precautionary measures take Vitamin B complex daily a tablet for three to four weeks. If the numbness continues more than a month and there is no organic cause which I mentioned earlier you may need further diagnostic evidence to rule out the cause.

If both these are negative for tuberculosis then you can argue with visa authority about not having active, infectious disease. Your right upper lobe densities are only old, healed, inactive lesions. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

Now am having fluttering in middle of chest just below rib cage, on and off for last few days. I have been diagnosed with low-grade seasonal asthma. Wondering what the fluttering could be | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your. In my opinion, we should rule out worsening of asthma in your case. Since you are diagnosed case of asthma, worsening of this can lead to cough, chest pain, tachycardia (Fluttering feeling) etc. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (pulmonary function test). PFT will tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need long acting beta 2 agonist (LAB) (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). You will mostly improve with these long acting inhaler. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

But he is out of his memory , can t see and most importantly, his left leg and right hand starts limping with pain after 6-7 hours of taking anticogulant (Acitrom 3 and 4, alternate days) which lasts for 2 hrs. please advise something for these symptoms ( blindness and limping). Thanks. | Hello, It is not clear from your description regarding the type of clotting that has occurred in your brothers brain. Depending on the area of damage, deficits are seen in patients. In your brother probably the area needed for vision has been damaged. The pain in hands and legs needs to be examined by a doctor for any conclusion. It is however unlikely to be related to citron. Once damaged, the brain recovers function slowly over months. You need to give him regular treatment and medical care. Good luck. |

What to do? | HiT hanks for choosing Chat Doctor! I appreciate your concern for the small residual scar following the TB treatment. Since you have been examined by your treating physician following a course of treatment of 6 months duration and if the three sputum samples are found to be negative for the bacteria responsible for causing TB, with normal ESR it is unlikely that you have an infection. The small residual scar is due to healed focus of infection which will subside, nothing to worry. Give your valuable feedback if convinced. Wishing you best of your health. |

Diabetes runs in the family, but I have been recently tested (3mo;s ago) and have no flags un my bloodwork. The endocrinologist insists on me taking Metformin to prolong any onset of diabetes. Could this medication be causing this numbness? It happens no matter what type of she I wear, so he can t be the shoes. | Hello, Thanks for writing to us, I have read your query, Toe numbness can be due to pinched nerve in spine. Due to compression of nerve root there can be tingling numbness in your foot. I will advise you to do MRI spine and EMG-NCV [Nerve conduction study] and consult to orthopedic surgeon. Peripheral numbness is common in diabetic, but incidence is low in prediabetic. Change your diet and remove inflammatory foods such as citrus fruits, dairy products and wheat that may aggravate peripheral neuropathy. Simultaneously increase your intake of potassium and calcium-rich foods such as bananas and avocados and green leafy vegetable. Vitamin B12 is important in the maintenance of health and normal functioning of the nerve tissue and deficiency of it can lead to numbness. You can increase B12 level by taking meat and fish, or you can take In methylcobalamine. Hope this answers your query.

First, I would like to advise you and your husband to relax about conceiving. 80% of couples will conceive within one year it's having regular, unprotected sex. By regular unprotected sex, I mean having sex 2 to 3 times a week from the time your period finishes, until you start to feel premenstrual symptoms-which means that you are either already pregnant, or cannot conceive that cycle. If you have regular menstrual cycles, and you are young, there is no reason to predict that you are infertile. I do not recommend the use of ovulation kits to attempt pregnancy at this time. Too much stress about trying to get pregnant can inhibit your efforts. So I suggest you and your husband try to relax and let nature take its course. I recommend that you begin taking a folic acid supplement, or prenatal vitamin, as these both are beneficial for conception. If you and your husband try to get pregnant for a year and are unsuccessful, I would then recommend seeing a GUN doctor or infertility specialist in order to diagnose what may be wrong. I hope I was adequately able to answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes and good luck, |

D o you think that this is something i could try and look into. He is getting taller but i am not seeing any progress. thank you | Hello! Thank you for writing us here.It's a congenital deformity called PES valgus or club foot. Don't massage or go for physiotherapy because it won't make any improvement. It would require a minor surgical procedure for the correct fixation of bones and the recovery would be within 4 to 6 weeks. I highly recommend you to see an orthopedic surgeon for this. Physiotherapy and massage would fix the bone because I've seen few patients who used to massage their limbs, and now they cannot move them properly.

I am worried because my sister said if any part is pinched of my intestine if could become necrotic from having its blood source pinched off. My doctor doesnt believe this happened, and is asking me if I am under stress. What should I do or what tests should I have? Ive had an abdomal sonogram, and a full body ct scan with contrast. No outstanding results. | Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. The history itself of intestine falling out and you're rolling them back suggests that you have got an abdominal hernia. You have not mentioned the exact site, and it could be anything from an inguinal hernia to an umbilical/para umbilical hernia. If I were your family physician, I would refer you to a general surgeon, then go for all sophisticated investigation if need be. Hernia is usually a clinical diagnosis, and no sophisticated investigations are required for diagnosing the same. The treatment of hernia is surgery unless infrequently contra-indicated due to any other medical reasons. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in planning your treatment. Thanks for using the Chat Doctor forum for your query on health. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 6 year old daughter is hot to the touch but has no fever. Her body is achy and she is very sleepy. I detect a swollen lymph nod on her left neck but she says it doesnt hurt to swallow. There is strep throat going around and Im wondering if I should take her to get tested. | Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer. You said she is hot to touch but no temperature, which means she is not febrile, hence this rules out infection as a cause of enlarged lymph nodes. Besides this, you said she is sleepy which means she is tired and weak as well. Since when she is like this and her lymph nodes are enlarged? If it is from a long time, then it could be chronic disorder for which she definitely needs to see a doctor and have some tests. But if it is acute then it might be due to sore throat. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask if you need further assistance. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi sir, this is sukumar.... i am 26. I have been suffering from acne since at 14. Now i am using Zyclin nanogel in the morning, and Benzel 2.5 at night. Also using Azithromycine 500mg three days per week and Isotroin-10 everyday.. There is no result at all that too pimples became bigger...Please give me the best solution sir. Thankyou. | Hi Kumar, The treatment suggested by your doctor is perfectly alright. These medicines might take 3 to 4 weeks to show desirable response. Sometimes with isotretinoin acne lesions can flare initially to improve later on and that is why many prefer to start isotretinoin in a low dose and later on dose is increased as per the response. In your case, if you have taken medicines for few weeks without improvement, your doctor would increase the dose of isotretinoin. So kindly continue with the medication and remain under a doctors follow up. Hope that answers your query. Take care. |

The vomiting and diarrhea is because of the antibiotics and analgesics prescribed following the wisdom tooth removal. These are the adverse effects of the antibiotics and analgesics. Complete the course of antibiotics and stop it. For the loose motions, you can take capsule operative. For vomiting, you can take omeprazole with risperidone. Consume a lot of liquid like, juices, tender coconut, glucose... If the vomiting and diarrhea does not stop in two days, consult a general physician. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |
