ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I m a 54 year old male. Nonsmoker fairly healthy with no family history of heart problems. Here lately I periodically get this stinging pain around the area of the heart. It last about a minute or two. I can breath fine not sweating and no light headed. Was wondering if this is signs of a heart attack or something I need to have looked at immediately | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases. If these reports are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My blood pressure is 149 over 88 and my pulse is 112, I had a aortic valve replacement in June 2011 and they can t seem to get my coumadin levels right. Doc told me my level was a 10 on Monday and told me not to take any for 3 days. Now I m hurting under my left breast especially if I take a deep breath. What should I do? | Hi, If the pain is localized under the breast and gets worse with breathing than most probably it is a muscle pain. As you have high INR level around 10, it is not advisable to take a painkiller, I would advise you to use local painkiller ointments, such as diclofenac. The pain is not dangerous, it can easily reveal with painkillers, such as Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Diclofenac. But it would be better to wait until your INR level is under 3. Hope this was helpfulWishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitant to ask |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi.....about 2 weeks ago I twisted my leg and hurt my knee. They did xrays and told me I had fluid around my knee. Gave me crutches and wrapped it up. I still can not bend my leg properly and I have very intense pain that shoots from my knee to my ankle. How long does fluid stay around your knee? And should I go back to the doctor? | Dear patient With twisting injury of the knee, meniscus might get torn and in that condition X-ray will be normal. MRI of the knee should be done to rule out internal knee injury. Please get it done from radiology center nearby you. Meanwhile, continue crΓͺpe bandage and crutches. Start tab Choral Forte thrice a day to reduce swelling. Apply ice packs frequently on involved knee. You need to consult orthopedic surgeon with report. Take Care! |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi! I am trying to start back exercising after years of no exercise at all, Im noticing when I do squats or climb stairs my knees make a cracking noise and hurt, im wondering am i too heavy and need to drop weight before doing those types of exercises YYYY@YYYY | Hello, As you are planning to start the exercises again, I will recommend making your own prescription now. First, assess your body. Which muscles are weak and which area needs more workout. Then, always start exercising with the mat exercises which includes simple leg raise, hand raise, static quads, static hams, static triceps and static biceps, breathing and core stability. Post which starts with simple standing exercise. Then proceed to aerobics and then to anaerobic. Planning the exercises beforehand step by step is always better than trying just the articles. Any damage occurred is non-reversible. So with many precautions start the exercises. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. |

You are safe. The failure rate of combined oral contraceptive (estrogen with progesterone) is very low at 0.003%. I am assuming that you are taking the combined pill here. But they are very, very effective, and you can be sure that you are protected. Hope this helps. Regards. |

I didnt have any headache or difficulty in laughing, remembering my name, date , the place or talking and walking. I still dont have any of those problems.I came home, took a shower. Now I see there is blood in my mucus.Is it a concussion? I didnt have any symptoms of it ( I read a lot & I know about it) . Or its just my nose, bleeding? | Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor.First you should relax. Such incidents are common during games. There is no need to worry. As you fell towards your left cheek, so there is higher possibility that there is some superficial tear in your mouth which causes the release of blood. Brain concussion occurs in severe injuries like severe blow on head or an automobile accident. Take warm water and perform mouth wash with it 2-3 times. If pain occurs then you can take acetaminophen for it. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,I started bleeding heavily after taking Mifepristone. It was not regular periods but thick blood clots, which lasted for a day. On the next day, I inserted a Misoprostol in the vagina, as I will be taking one tablet after every 12 hours (in total four tablets). After the first tablet, I got cramps but no bleeding. Now, I am waiting to put one more tablet after 12 hours, but I am worried since I did not bleed after the first tablet. | Hi. How are you doing? Mifepristone is a hormonal pill which will dislodge the embryo from the uterus, that is the embryo will be will be free from the walls of the uterus after 48 hours. Having four tablets of Misoprostol 200 mcg orally or vaginally at a time is simpler, easier, and can avoid all the confusion of having it at repeated intervals. But remember, if you are using vaginally, just wet it before keeping the tablets, or else they will not dissolve and will have no effect. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. |

I understand the reluctance, but it sounds like his finger is infected, and it will only get worse. You can't be sure the antibiotics you have would be appropriate for this type of infection. In addition, infection in closed spaces like the finger often require the injury to be opened to Chat Doctor. Antibiotics alone won't cure it. If it continues to spread, it could get into the blood or could cause damage to local bone and tendon, which could cause disability in the future. Plus if he hasn't had a tetanus shot in a while, he might need one. So best to be seen promptly. Hope this helps. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Sir,I am a male of 48 yrs old. I get asthama problem during onset of cold and out set of cold. I have consulted a doctor he gave me antibiotics for five days and ventolin to continue bu aafter ten days though i am doing my norml work, still I get coughing and breathing problem in the morning and evening. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are not improving because of you are not taking correct treatment for asthma. Ventorlin is short-acting bronchodilator. Its action lasts for only 4 hours. It is advisable to take long acting beta 2 agonist (LAB) (formoterol or albuterol) with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast) once a day at night is also beneficial in asthma. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss starting these medications. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | is it possible to get pregnant while taking tetralysal? I have the coil but my doctor told me it would not work with this acne medicine for three weeks. I have two days to go before completeing the three weeks. Could I get pregnant if I and my husband have done something? | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. If you have the coil, there is no reason that it would not be effective while taking an antibiotic. The interaction between antibiotics and birth control refer to oral contraceptives only (pills). The hormonal coil only delivers hormones to your reproductive organs, so it would not interact at all with any pills you are taking. So in summary, you are still protected from pregnancy with the coil, so you do not have to worry about any additional protection from pregnancy. I hope this information was helpful and best wishes, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hello, my right side of my jaw is in so much pain just started yesterday, when i open my mouth i can not open it all the way, i can turn my head, i can swallow jus hurts a little and when i touch the spot where the pain is located it hurts extremely bad, the whole upper right of my neck is swollen compared to the left side? | Hi. You have not mentioned the area of the spot but after hearing your symptoms I am quite certain that the problem is related to your wisdom tooth which is either erupting or else is tilted in the wrong direction. It happens as food gets lodged in that area and It's difficult to access it with a brush resulting in infection. This infection in turn causes discomfort in the surrounding gums and also results in mild swelling in the area. Warm saline gargles may help and I would recommend you to visit your dentist who can give medication as well as can clinically see the problem. Regards |

Or else you can go for second opinion too. Usually antibiotics has to be taken in complete course, prior to extraction of wisdom teeth which is inflamed. Avoid anxiety and stress as it can worsen the condition. Gargle using warm saline and Betadine. Maintain oral hygiene well. Please have an open discussion with your dentist regarding this. Hope this helps. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I started feeling a pain in the middle of my chest yesterday while I was at work. (I have an office job). It continued through last night and today. It is not so much of a sharp pain, but more of a extreme pressure feeling. It intensifies as I take a deep breath in, when I go from sitting to standing, and the worst when I lay flat on my back. It has gotten worse since yesterday. Is this something minor, or that should be checked out before Monday? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, you should definitely consult doctor immediately because heart related pain can present in similar way. So better to get done ECG and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can also cause similar symptoms. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of Central chest pain. So take proton pump inhibitor. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals. Go for walk after meals. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases immediately. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

But options are there to conceive with your own eggs. GUI intrauterine insemination, in that your husband s washed semen and your ovum inserted in your uterus.

I dont think the Lexapro I am on is working but I dont have a clue as what I need to be on. My doctor is leaving it up to me but I dont know what to do. Help. | Hi, Lexapro and other SSRIs can take around six to eight weeks to show their full response. So I feel that you need to be on 20 mg Learn for a few more weeks to be able to say that it is not working. While 20 mg is an adequate dose for Learn, for Effector the dose that you tried was just the starting dose and should have been built up to around 150 to 300 mg per day. If Learn shows no response even after a few more weeks, there are many strategies to augment the effect of Learn. Addition of bupropion, buspirone, thyroxine, lithium etc. are well known measures. Psychotherapy is also a good option. Please do not worry. If you have not consulted a psychiatrist so far, then please do so as it is possible that your family physician may be finding it difficult to manage your depression now. Hope this helps you.

Since surgery she has had an irregulat heart rate getting as high as 160. She has previously been diagnosed with atrial fibulation. Could that be causing irradic heat rate | Mistrial Fibrillation is a condition in which there is irregular heart rate. This occurs as the electrical impulses are not occurring through the normal pathway. It is very unlikely that the hernia and surgery could trigger the fibrillation. Is she on medication for atrial fibrillation? Have they found the cause for the atrial fibrillation? Many times treating the cause of atrial fibrillation will relieve the fibrillation to a great extent. Depending on whether she has persistent or intermittent atrial fibrillation the treatment for her will vary. So I suggest that you ask her to visit her physician and get a complete evaluation.

I took my blood pressure when I first wake up. It is normal. I exercise my hands, arms and legs before I get up. My BP stays normal. But when I stand, it goes down and my heart accelerates and I get very dizzy. What kind of doctor do I need? | I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern. The way you describe your symptoms it seems like a case of orthostatic hypotension (excessive fall in blood pressure when you change to an upright position). If it was a case of separate rare episodes it might be normal but since you describe the episodes as happening every time the cause must be looked into. The possible causes could be many. If you are taking certain Chat Doctor. Otherwise, a complete blood count and routine biochemical tests would be the first step in my opinion (to rule out diabetes, electrolyte changes, anemia etc.). Regarding the specialist since the possible causes are many, belonging to different specialties being checked by a general practitioner or an internist would be wise. If I had to pick a more specific specialty than since cardiovascular causes are the most frequent ones I would say a cardiologist. Hope to have been of some help.

Otherwise from your history n holder reports it seems that you have tendency for benign ventricular extra systoles. the best way to go for signal average ECG .this will confirm benign nature of PCs.

It would have been better if you had mentioned what was the location of your cancer in the colon - like was it proximal colon or distal rectal cancer. Also, whether radiotherapy was used or not. Because radiotherapy may cause sexual problems after a year of treatment completion. Sometimes because of surgery or chemotherapy may cause some problem. The exact type of problem - whether psychological, erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction has to be quantified and qualified for proper treatment. Its better you visit your treating surgeon and also a urologist. All the best. |

Because of my TMJ, my jaw was basically locked after that. When I went back to the the dentist, he just told me to keep prying my jaw open. My jaw still hurts, although it can now move. It is constantly in pain. | Hi There, Your condition is called post-surgical ERASMUS. This generally is a complication after impactions & extensive bone removal. It SHD last for max 3-4 weeks till the healing is complete. The open wound exposes the jaw bone & also the root of the adjacent tooth, hence the sensitivity to cold. You need to do the following;a) Make sure the procedure was properly done: this can be achieved by a post-op X-ray or a 2nd opinion by an oral & maxillofacial surgeon.b) Take a muscle-relaxant along with pain medication to unlock the jaw muscles like IBUGESIC-MR.c) Chew on a sugar-free gum like orbit/Wrigley for 15Β min every 3hrs. This is physiotherapy for your jaw musclesβd) Gargle with warm salt water for 5Β min alternate hourlyThanks & take care |

The symptom complex of diarrhea, weakness, pain in lower abdomen and now with loss of appetite and fever is definitely indicative of an acute or acute on chronic intestinal infection. A 5-day course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotic and symptomatic treatment should help the cause. If there is no relief after 5 days, you have to go for a consultation of a Gastroenterologist and undergo further tests of CT scan of the abdomen and colonoscopy.Further, tests to rule out tuberculosis may need additional investigations and may be a diagnostic laparoscopy.

Most likely he has developed some brain white matter lesion which is not always visible in MRI or other tests. Now coming for treatment option, firstly you should give medicines for stopping the convulsion attack as every convulsion put a stop for blood circulation in brain for time being and put a damage which will be more detrimental for his development.

Your dentists' office should be able to give you an estimate on cost and tell you the amount expected to be covered by insurance. Some companies provide a predetermination estimate.

My fasting blood sugar level is 180 mg/dL. I am thinking to change my medicines. Please suggest. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Please verify the dose of Sitaglu Met. It is a combination medication. It has two medicines Sitagliptin and Metformin. Please mention whether you take 50 mg/500 mg or 50 mg/1000 mg dose. Please send a picture of it. Medication alone cannot control diabetes. Determining the type of diabetes is essential. There is a possibility that you may have type 1, so appropriate testing is required. You are overweight for your age, and the blood sugar is high. If your diabetic level is not controlled at this stage, it can lead to kidney problem and vision problem in two to three years. Both are irreversible once they get developed. Have control in your diet. If you are surely diagnosed with type 2, I can suggest you take Glucophage 1000 mg (Metformin) daily and Linagliptin injection. It is not insulin.

Once I had blood in stool previously and used homeopathy medicine to stop that, but it recurred after five days. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Stomach pain on the right side can occur due to a variety of reasons like stomach infection, appendicitis, infection in your intestine, and problems in your kidneys or the ureters (a tube that connects your kidneys to your urinary bladder). Stomach pain with blood in stools is something to worry about. The cause for it can be acute infectious gastroenteritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or ulcer in your gastrointestinal tract. To diagnose all of these, I need to ask you some questions. Do you have any fever? Do you have weight loss? How is the appetite? Is the blood in stools fresh blood or is it brownish red? Do you have any history of piles? Are the stools hard? Do you have any diarrhea? Does the stomach pain has any relation to food intake i.e. does it get relieved by eating food or does it increase on eating food? Once you answer these questions, I would suggest what tests to be get done and how to treat the disease. I hope this helps. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, my name is Becky and I exasberated back in Sept with heavy pneumonia in my right lung...... the last few months I have experienced tremendous hair loss and breakage--it is so thin I only have about 1/3 of my hair left but no bald spots. I also have a big lump (or bulge) about 1 inch above the base of my hairline on the back of my head. It goes all across the back of my skull. Any advice? I thought you were here to help....... but hell no....... everybody wants my money....... which I don t have. Thanks alot | Hello, After a long chronic disease, there is hair fall present, it is normal, but you have a lump, and it is back, maybe it is a lipoma or subcutaneous abscess. You have to investigate all these things like serum biotin level, zinc level, FNAC of that lump after USG. Till then take tablet Stymie M forte for three months at least and biotin-rich foods. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 16 year old daughter is complaining of a cold sensation in her heart followed by a rapid heart rate?? Of course, I have already placed a call to her doctor but I was just curious if anyone has a similar problem. She is 5 6 and 120 pounds. She has asthma and takes meds for that but has not had these symptoms before. She has not changed her meds recently nor has she had any life changes. In the past she has complained once or twice of a sharp knifelike feeling in her heart but that only lasted for about 20 seconds. She sees her pediatrician and a pulmonologist/allergist! I have called both and will see what they have to say. She is an active normal teen with no history of heart problems. She has also started complaining of her vision being odd. She says her eyes have been watering a lot when she tries to focus on something! I appreciate any responses. She is curious if anyone else has these sensations. Thanks! Took her in to see her pediatrician and he listened to her heart and ran an EKG. Both were normal. He wants to give it a few days and if it continues he said we will have to take her to a cardiologist and she will have to wear a Holter Monitor for 24 hours. We still don t have any answers and it is still happening. Thanks for all of the answers! | The only thing for a cold sensation I can think of is acid reflux. When you get heart burn it feels crazy and can give anxiety (hence the rapid heart rate). You can remedy acid reflux (herd, or heart burn, throat burn or whatever you want to call it) by getting some digestive enzymes (try something like Source Naturals Daily Digestive Enzymes) at a local vitamin store (or try vitacost.com) and till give her enough digestive juices to help grind up her food better. Also, food intolerances will cause problems too. I discovered a food intolerance to wheat, milk and peanuts. But you have to write down how you feel after you eat something and try eliminating it for a while and see how it goes. You can ask a doctor for an Elisa test (for food allergies) but it doesn't tell us much. A food elimination/rotation diet is much better plus it can't hurt. A sharp knife like feeling is definitely heart burn from what I've felt or heard about. Make sure you write down when these things occur, what time and how long (dates) and what she had to eat earlier. Pizza is a biggie on heart burn. Hot dogs, anything with bad fats in it. Bread if she is intolerant to wheat and so on. I would throw in a thyroid (TSH) test for hyper or hypothyroidism. So many symptoms stem from those diseases (difficulty breathing, rapid heart rate, digestion issues and so on)...that it should be warranted just to rule it out. And if it keeps happening see the doc. But sometimes I do believe we have to be our own detectives. My dd has a friend that was ill on and off for a couple of years and saw 11 doctors (hello, aren't they supposed to be intelligent beings?) but no, they couldn't figure out anything. Finally, they figured out she has a gluten-allergy. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am a 57 year old female who had a total proctocolectomy done Aug 30/11. I also am a liver transplant recipient (Sept 2005). I had Crohn s Disease for 12 years or so. The pathology report after my procotocolectomy showed signs of cancer in the part of the bowel that they removed. The doctors recommended I have chemotherapy (12 treatments) which I just finished in mid-June this year. I have been having problems lately with bleeding around the stoma which can be quite excessive (can fill up my ostomy bag quickly)., The blood is very red & I noticed tonight that there are blood clots in my bag. I emptied it a couple of times & the clots were in the bag both times within a one hour time frame. I managed to retrieve one of the clots from the bowl to have a good look at it & it looks like a red gel mould approximately 2 to 3 inches long & 2 inches wide! I am freaking out trying to figure out where it s coming from. I don t believe it s coming from the stoma itself. I think the bleeding is from around the stoma but can t figure out how the blood clots can come from outside the stoma! Help - I m totally freaking out! | It is not of much concern presently whether the bleeding is from within or around the stoma. What should concern us more is the cause of the bleeding. There could be a number of reasons, like late onset liver failure after transplant (leading to bleeding abnormality), chemotherapy induced bone marrow suppression (which decreases the number of platelets in the blood causing bleeding), recurrence of cancer in the remaining bowel, recurrence of Crohn's disease in the remaining bowel. Ruling them out one by one, I suggest you get a liver function test and complete blood count done. If these are normal, then you should undergo a contrast enhance computerized tomography (CT Scan) of the abdomen followed by an endoscopy from the stoma. These tests should clinch the diagnosis and the treatment accordingly can be instituted. Meanwhile, it is not a bad idea to show yourself to a surgeon just to rule out a local cause for the bleeding like skin infection/excoriation, etc. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I had intercourse with my girlfriend and it slipped. Also, my girl just started her menstrual cycle at about the same time. After about two weeks later, I noted slight wetness at the tip of my penis and had some irritation. I took Azithromycin three tablets. The irritation stopped, but slight wetness at the penis tip remained. It is very slight wetness at the tip, as during the day every few hours we go to urinate and is only on the tip. The wetness can mainly be seen in the morning when I get up after eight hours of sleep. I got blood tests and VRDL is negative. I seek your advice on medication and what could this be? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The wetness you are experiencing may not be an infection, it could be due to friction-related issue after intercourse causing some inflammation. As you have already run the tests and taken a course of antibiotics, there is not much to worry about. Observe the discharge for a week if it gets foul-smelling or you develop a fever or an itch over the area you may have to see the doctor. In the mean time get a urine microscopy and routine test to rule out any urinary tract infection. Avoid nylon undergarments and use cotton ones instead. Use a condom always during intercourse and make sure you do not have an allergy to latex. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My friend had a MRI and this was the results: Diffuse abnormal increased T2/FLAIR signal within the periventricular and deep white matter which is non-specific, but most likely due to chronic small vessel ischemic change/chronic lacunar infarctions. What does this mean? | Hello dear, MRI is magnetic resonance imaging. Brain MRI with diffuse T2/FLAIR hyperintense signals in periventricular and deep white matter, can only be interpreted with a clinical correlation. It means that if the patient doesn't have any symptoms(like limb weakness, speaking difficulty, walking difficulty, personality changes), then these hyperintensities hardly carry any significance, as they can be seen in around 27 percent of apparently healthy individuals, although mostly seen towards older age group. But if patient is having symptoms as mentioned above, then these may be indicative of a pathology like vasculitis, demyelination or multiple small infarcts, and it is in these cases that further evaluation is needed. So, if your friend is asymptomatic, just get him screened for hypertension and ask him to stop smoking(if he does so), as these may contribute to such changes in brain. If any symptoms or if any doubts, get to a neurologist. I hope it helped. |

My partner went to get checked and he says he donot have it!! How is this possible????? I have not been with any one else!!! So how I have it and he doesn t?-we been together 15yrs. Now he thinks I cheated!! | Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Trichomoniasis is a protozoal infection spread mostly by sexual relations (vaginal, oral or anal sex). - Only possibility of its nonsexual transmission can be use of contaminated towel / from a toilet seat. - Many a times symptoms are evident earlier in women due to the peculiar physical conditions & though male partner is infected he may not suffer from the symptoms. -Itching & white discharge is seen in females with diabetes/ after menopause due to vaginal Candidiasis...(which is not sexually transmitted) & it can be differentiated from trichomoniasis by careful inspection/ microscopic swab testing. So you need to rule out all these possibilities before blaming each other / misunderstanding. Thanks |

I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Anti TB treatment is a long therapy. You have to take the treatment until you can completely cure with it. In many cases there is resistant in the tuberculosis bacteria. Thus, can cause treatment difficult to treat. I advixebuou should test for the Inexpert test. This test will detect the resistant to the tuberculosis bacteria and can give us idea regarding the cure. Please do not discontinue the treatment until you are fully cured. Surgical instruments are usually sterilized before they are used so, there is no chance of tuberculosis by this way. You can keep good local hygiene as this can be helpful for the treatment.

It concerns me because this includes when I am intimate with my wife, and now she is starting to itch down there as well. What should I do? | Hello, I can understand your concern for the problem of peeling of skin after exposure to the acidic material. It is quite common to find such kind of thing after exposure to battery acids. I suggest you to meet an expert for the same to get the earliest relief. It could be possible that you might have touched the genital area of your wife with the same hands which touched the battery acid. In your kind of cases I generally prefer to give a mild steroid cream along with a cream containing moisturizing factors. It is quite important to see the peeling of skin to be vanished after the use of this combination. In case if the peeling is still present, then a course of oral steroid might be required. You can consult a dermatologist for the same. All the best. |

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns. The greatest probability is that you suffer from arthritis. Arthritis is a disease that causes painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints. To treat this condition you can take anti anti-inflammatory medicines such as Advil. Massage, chiropractic procedures and physical exercises can also help. To confirm the diagnosis you need a spinal and pelvic X-ray, a fibrinogen test and a complete blood count. Spinal Ct-scan is necessary in order to rule out herniated disc. You should contact your neurologist to discuss the diagnosis and the right treatment. Regards. |

Im truly tired from these pains, please help! Are there any special tests that I can do to get the real picture? | Hello, and thank you for using Chat Doctor ! I will be honest and tell you that it is very unlikely that I will be able to give you much new or helpful information. You say you have seen many doctors over the years and that no one has been able to figure out the cause of your pain. I am so sorry that this is the case! The many doctors that you have seen have had advantages that I do not in trying to determine why you have these symptoms. They have seen and examined you in person, ordered tests and seen the results of them, including imaging tests. If no physical cause of these problems has been found, it would be worthwhile to look into psychological causes for the pain. One possible cause is what is known as a conversion disorder. This phenomenon basically means that you are experiencing psychological stress, and it is manifesting as physical pain and illness. This stress could be related to work, relationships, money, or any other cause. Here is an excellent website that discusses conversion disorders more thoroughly: www.mayoclinic.com/health/conversion-disorder/DS00877 I hope I have given you some useful information, and wish you the best of health.

I suggest you not to worry much. I think, this is due to obsession. You had that disturbing sensation once. You expected it to happen again and tried. Then you started experiencing it as you were expecting it. Then your body brought the familiar symptom because you are expecting it. Then you started worrying that the symptom is coming again and again and expect it. Body brings it again as you are expecting it. You become worried and so on. That is obsession in simple terms. Ignore it and the problem vanishes. Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Lifestyle changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc. are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you to change your lifestyle and thinking patterns.

It is important to know what tumor your relative is having and the stage of cancer. Most testicular tumors are of a group known as Seminole and this is the most widely occurring tumor. Seminole has a good cure rate if detected early and this shows good response to treatment in patients. There is another group of testicular tumors known as non seminomatous germ cell tumors and this group has many sub tumor types. They tend to be more aggressive than Seminoles and invasion is common. The prognosis of non-seminomatous germ cell tumors is variable and depends on the biological behavior of individual tumors. Prognosis can be inferred from tumor markers, location of the primary tumor and of course presence of metastases. Treatment at any cancer research institute is recommended depending on his location. Please do not worry. |

Actually sometimes the gums become pale, and they look white, till then there is nothing problematic, but as you are mentioning that it is hurting also in that condition it can be possible that it is an abscess which is occurring because of the infection in the adjacent tooth which is also hurting. You should visit a good dentist, for the problem. Hope it will help you. |

First would like to know your age and also want to know whether it is the first time you experiencing this kind of difficulty or not. Recurrent infection of foreskin can cause scarring and contraction causing difficulty in retraction. So, you can apply point clobetasol locally and retract once daily to have better result. Consult your doctor if not subsided by 2-3 days. All the best. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am having what feels like nerve pain in my he right side of my groin when I walk.When I am laying down or roll over on my stomach it feels like nerve pain in my upper right thigh. I think it comes from some sort of back pain, but I m not feeling the pain in my back, but if I stand too long my back begins to hurt | Hi, The two possible causes are pain arising from a prolapsed disc which can radiate to the groin or muscular pain due to sprain or spasm. You can consult a physician and get evaluated. It is better to go for an MRI scan to rule out spine related problems like a prolapsed disc. As of now, you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Tramadol for pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi have past abortion last 2007?my ChatDoctor level rises last year 2009 shows weak positive but im not pregnant..then now im married and shows weak positive again..im stil confused about the result .shows im 2weeks pregnant or it is just because of abortion happened before..thankyou | Hi there,Please repeat the Chat Doctor test if the values double then it means you are pregnant. If the values decline it implies that its due to the miscarriage.Typically, in a normal pregnancy the Chat Doctor values double or increase in 48 hours, if it is a failed pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy the values may decrease or not increase as expected.Also, Chat Doctor values take at least 3 weeks after an abortion to normalize. So if it is more than 3 weeks after your miscarriage it is unlikely to be due to it. Very rarely a condition called molar pregnancy has to be kept in mind, in this the Chat Doctor values remain elevated inspire of no normal pregnancy. This is a serious condition and need to be ruled out in your case if its more than 3 weeks from the abortion and if you are not pregnant and if the Chat Doctor values are still elevated but not doubling. IF so then please see a gynecologist immediately. Hope this helps. Regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had a nasty cold that started approx 45 days ago. Started with sore throat almost swollen shot, got minutely better but have not gotten over the large scale mucous and congestion. Had elevated dimer-d, had CT Angioram, all clear Lung X-Ray clear. Fast forward today, routing exam for colonoscopy. Doc says liver feels enlarged. Does dimer-d have a connection. No pain nothing just still tons of head and upper resp congestion. Does OTC cold meds enlarge liver? | Hi.thanks for posting query at ChatDoctorincomplete history...how was enlarged liver observed>? Ultrasound?were liver enzymes tested? Was the values normal?your age/.?any liver disease history? HepB/HEPA? Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of fatty/enlarged liver. Advice for fatty liver:- abstinence from "Alcohol" - LOW fat diet should be followed, AVOID junk food and beverages-decreased oil consumption (oily food)- NO red meat-green vegetables should be ingested daily-use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day-reduce weight if overweight/obese-"recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks" and/or ultrasound. Any further questions are welcomed. Hope to answer your concern. Wish you good health. Regards, Chat Doctor. |

My doctor said that no treatment is needed but im confused. | Hello, THX to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that IG G is the antibody of immunity, that antibody developed as a result of the immunity towards the disease. So in your case you developed IG G to both the mentioned viruses. In contrary to Egg IGM is the antibody developed when infection is ongoing, that is for killing the virus, that is negative in your case so do not worry about the lab results.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a history of a blocked kidney last year,? due to an ovarian cyst.I have recently experienced right sided pain,and had a renogram 2/52 ago,and am awaiting the results.I have been experiencing lower centralised back pain,and a fluttering feeling in my right kidney area..what does that indicate? | Hi, thank you for posting. Your symptoms bight be related to kidney disease and ovarian cyst. Kidney pain is severe, and it can stop and start whenever(kidney area). This kind of pain is caused when the patient has ureter blockage. The most common cause is renal calculus(kidney stones). Ovarian cyst is manifested with lower middle back pain. To keep your disease in control you need an Ultrasound every 3 months. You also need: 1. Blood test(erythrocyte sedimentation rate). 2. Urine test. To relive pain you should take Paracetamol(Acetaminophen) 500Β mg(only when you have pain). I also recommend anti-inflammatory non-steroidal medicines such as Ibuprofen(Advil) 400Β mg 1 pill twice a day. And Tuscan(Butylscopolamine) 10 mg 1 pill twice a day. Contact your nephrologist and your gynecologist. I hope you find this helpful. Regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My husband had a triple bypass about 4 months ago, at that time they also treated him for pneumonia. Now, he complains that he still is short of breath from time to time. He also used to smoke, but has quit since the operation. Is the breathing normal? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, breathing difficulty is not normal in his case. In my opinion, we should rule out bronchitis (inflammation of airways) in his case. Since he was smoker and had pneumonia, he is prone for bronchitis. And this bronchitis can cause breathing difficulty. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. He might need inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Don't worry, he will be alright. First diagnose him and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, My daughter has been diagnosed with having a severe chronic allergy for which the prescription of a combination of Mont air tablets and Metaspray is advised. How ever i see that she has a loss of appetite from the day she has started taking the medicine. Please advice what needs to be done Regards, | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Although Montage and Metaspray do not normally cause a loss of appetite, they can cause heart burn and abdominal pain. I would suggest that you give your child small, frequent meals and make her eat early at night. Also, avoid spicy and oily food. Further, give her the food she likes the most, regularize her meal timings, encourage her to exercise and eat your meals together. If she does not become ok, take her to a physician so that a possible worm infestation can be ruled out. Hope this helps |

I have had the pain for 2 and half weeks.......I am getting a coloscopy next week. I have had blood wrk just the standard CBC which is normal and no injuries to my abdomen, why am I in so much pain? | Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor and for your detailed history. But I need further information regarding any recent history of trauma. Have you lifted any heavy weight recently, what are the factors aggravating your pain, any history of hypertension/diabetes if I were your treating doctor I would first take ECG considering your age, and ultrasound abdomen and pelvis most probably it is just muscle spasm as your CBC is within normal limits infectious cause can be ruled out, and no history of altered bowel habits(so intestinal disease unlikely), my advice is to take T.AEROSOL SP 1-0-1(after food) and T.PAN 40 mg 0-0-1 (before food)for 3 days.before that I advise consulting physician with ECG and ultrasound abdomen if both are within normal limits and symptoms not relieved with above-mentioned analgesics, consult neurologist to rule out spine pathology Hope I have been helpful.

She describes the pain as a pin pricking pain, she says it s bad as well, about 7 out of 10. I was wondering if I should take her to the GP? This has been happening for 2 weeks now. | Hi, By what you quote it should be an urticaria or a simple skin allergy. You can use HY Chat Doctor. Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine, but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your pediatrician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank-you Swaroopa. | Hi... Recurrent fever with swollen glands in the neck for the past 15 days could be ABV infection or otherwise called infectious mononucleosis. It is a self limiting prolonged viral illness. Rarely it can cause complications. I will suggest you how a viral illness behaves so that you will be more confident. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Regards - |
