ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello Dr. Grief, I m having a dull aching feeling on my right side, towards the front area of my stomach . The achy feeling goes through to my back area also on the right side. Any thoughts as to what may going on? Thank you. | Hello! Thank you for the query. The most common reason of such symptoms are gall stones. The pain appears on the upper right abdomen and radiates to the back. Usually it gets worse after fatty or spicy foods. Sometimes such symptoms also appears with pancreas diseases. Upper middle pain can be caused by peptic ulcer. The pain appears after 1-2 hours of the meal sometimes associated with acid reflux. If the pain is in the lower abdomen and radiates to the back it can be urinary tract infection. Usually associated with frequent urinating and burning while urinating. You should have abdominal ultrasound, full blood work, liver tests, amylase level, bilirubin level and urinalysis. Gallstones can be treated with laparoscopic surgery. Hope this will help. Regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi. I was diagnosed with asthma about 2 years ago and never used my inhalers so this is all a bit new to me. Today I ve needed my salbutamol a lot. About 4 times within the last hour twice. I am a bit worried. It feels as tho someone is holding my airway tightly. The salbutamol relieves for a period of time but it comes back again. Earlier this evening I think I had too much salbutamol as I got all jittery and shaking. I didn t get much asthma advice when I was diagnosed so don t no when I should start to panic really. I ve been coughing a lot the last few days and don t no if that s related. I ve counted my HR and its 104bpm. It s hard to count my own reaps but I think they are 26. Should I be concerned or carry on taking the salbutamol as I have been and it die down? | Hi Jocosity, Thanks for writing your query. After reading your post, it seems that you are having an acute attack of bronchial asthma and needs medical attention. Salbuatmol is a bronchodilator and needs to be repeated in severe attacks and can cause shivering in hands. It seems that in addition to albuterol, you may need a steroid inhaler for more relief from your symptoms. I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined by your doctor and start a steroid inhaler like fluticasone under medical supervision. You can also discuss with your doctor of replacing albuterol with palmetto, which has longer duration of action and needs less frequent administration. Also take an antihistamines like fenofexadine 120 mg once a day for some relief in cough. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks. |

Please get his routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

I am now at the point that I need a sceond opinion. | HIA nodule which is symptomatic should be removed as early as possible and specimen should be sent for biopsy to rule out if polyp is malignant or not however most of the polyps less than 10Β mm are usually benign. Elevated WBC count can be due to inflammation in gall bladder, Sometimes inflamed area is infected by bacteria, as you already have an immune disease polyp should be removed at the earliest. |

Now since then he has been fine and in fact even going fr regular afternoon walks. Now he switched to evening walk (just after nap) and he started getting a little bit of breathlessness -after which he rested after a little bit of walking.its not always but then he noticed that if he goes for a walk in evening rather than just before lunch - he sees a little bit of breathlessness. He has had a cough and te medication changed recently too. Any idea on why this may be happening and if it norm? Thanks. | Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to Chat Doctor. I carefully read your query. Sometimes, there is a good possibility that coronary artery disease can be presented in an "atypical" pattern - meaning, without chest pain - with shortness of breath, palpitations, epigastric pain, malaise etc. Since he also is a stent patient, I would recommend him to do a cardiac stress test, to see if there is any evidence or coronary artery disease or problem with the implanted stent. I assume that the curing doctor explained to him that there is a probability of within stent narrowing, after successful implantation. In case of bare metal stents, this probability is 16-25%, and in case of Chat Doctor. Hence, my recommendation for a control, so, even if this is nothing to worry about and the stent is fine, at least we can exclude the cardiac and coronary origin with higher probability. If the cardiac stress test results come back positive, then another coronary angiography to check the native arteries and the stent, would be appropriate. Also, if this stent was implanted in a scenario of acute myocardial infarction, the infarcted muscle itself can damage one wall of the heart and, therefore, |

Thanks for using Chat Doctor.First I would like to know what were your symptoms when you had heart attack, was it similar ticklish feeling ? If so then you should go for early check up.Otherwise, it may be due to acid reflux due to some medicines increasing acidity.

Shoulder pain can be due to frozen shoulder which is common for your age, or even it can be rotator cuff tendinitis or tear. Rotator cuff tendinitis is associated with pain for certain movements.

Frozen shoulder [adhesive capsulitis] can occur independently or due to autoimmune disease [RA in your case], and since diagnosis is usually clinical, and it is often self-limited, observation and reassurance may be considered, but because of the painful and debilitating nature of the disease, it may not be acceptable to some patients.2. Since your specialist advised for surgery, it might be possible that your range of motion/movement might be/is compromised.3.

When I have sex with the one I think is using I have astrong fishy odor during sex and I DO NOT have this with the other one. What is causing this? Can meth cause the odor? | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. If this is felt only with one guy then this is not your issue and I don't think this is sign of bacterial vaginosis. If you feel it always then it may BA vaginosis. I don't think this is created to Meth use. These symptoms and signs are suggestive of STD especially if there is associated pain, fever, urethral discharge by this man. So this is the first thing to rule out by doing STD testing in both you and him. Second, it may be signed of reinfection or urinary stones and some other genital infection, but this is less common.

She was walking across a street and tripped and when she did she dropped me and I landed on my head and was told many, many years later about this incident. I was told that I had a concussion and that I had stopped talking for about 6 months. Im now hitting 50yr next month and I have always been depressed and can remember back from my childhood that I had it way back @ 5yrs old. So my question is do you think that when I was dropped on my head could it have triggered this or was it already part of my DNA?? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. It is very unlikely that the fall and head injury you had when you were a 6 month-old baby is related to your current problems. Falls are very common during childhood days, and it is improbable that this is causing your depression or interfering with your memory. Genetic factors (DNA) is one of the factors which can be causative for a wide range of psychological issues. But again, this is not the only factor, as other environmental factors such as stress, early life experiences, etc. also play a significant role. Best wishes, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a few possibly unrelated symptoms that seem to have aligned in an alarming constellation.A few days ago, during a yawn, I had a painful cramp in my jaw, especially the floor of my mouth. Now, there is also a slight discoloration between two of my teeth along the gumline, and it s very sensitive there. There seems to be also a hard lump on the inside of my jaw behind the chin in the floor of my mouth. I can t feel it with my tongue or just by touching the skin, but by pressing in behind the bone on the right side of my jaw, I can feel what seems to be a large lump that is painful when pressed. On a pain scale of 1-10, I would say it is a 2, but only when direct pressure is applied. | Hello, You could have a related dental condition and be exploring some areas of normal anatomy. Can you recall any trauma to the floor of your mouth? A sore spot or ulceration may develop. Rinse with warm salt water, avoid acidic and spicy foods and apply a endocrine gel if very sensitive. This could be viral and needs time to heal. Anti-inflammatory medication such as Tylenol, Motrin or the anti-histamine Ben Chat Doctor.

It might be seborrhea dermatitis. Stress, worries,poor hygiene, poor immunity, nutritional deficiencies.etc. may exacerbate the disease. Antifungal tab. , antibiotics, folic acid.etc. may be taken. If there is itching, take antihistamines. If the condition is severe, take steroids in tampering dose. Combined steroid and antifungal cream application improve the condition.

It basically hurts constantly regardless if I am sleeping or eating or daily activities. It hurts on all movements but especially on wrist rotation and especially on flexion (thumb towards forearm). Ice and Aleve have been unsuccessful. I have not had any xrays taken. Very minor swellling if any. | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised along with x-ray. As you have injured your left wrist joint which pains at the ulnar side and certain movements give you pain, Taking an x-ray will be good to see if any hairline fracture or dislocation of the carpal bones is there. Post which with resting the joint in a wrist brace will help stabilize the joint and healing will occur. Later stages undergoing physical therapy if the muscles are weak will be of choice.

It might be an aeroallergen. Since allergic reactions can recur, so It's important to be careful and try to identify and then avoid the things from which your child is allergic. Where possible, breastfeed your child for at least 6 months. Breastfeeding provides a nutritious and balanced food source for your baby, reduces the risk of gastrointestinal tract infections and may also reduce the risk of developing allergic disease in early life. Delay the introduction of solid foods until the child is 4-6 months of age. Thereafter, foods can be introduced, with a new food introduced every 2-3 days. Introduce one new food at a time so that any reactions can be readily identified. If he suffers again, try using anti histamines. If it doesn't respond, do go for your clinician advice after a proper examination. In case of further questions, do call back |

They have measured size of ovaries only. So, on basis of this it is difficult to say anything about ovulation. Your endometrial thickness is fine.

Now I have some tingling in my stomach to go along with the chest tightness and tingling. Any ideas of what is causing these symptoms? | Hi, Without an examination and some appropriate testing, your symptoms are nonspecific at this point to give you any type of rock-solid diagnosis. Of course, there's the easy go to the diagnosis of nervousness and anxiety which you may have already heard either from friends, coworkers, or even you talking to yourself. However, there are organic reasons for the feelings of tingling and sensations of tightness. Anything from side effects of medications to low serum levels of vitamin B12, folate, B6, or It. D. And then, there are probably less likely things for these symptoms as thyroid hormones that are somehow either too high or too low. And then, there are the often overlooked causes of such general and nonspecific symptoms such as medication side effects or medication interactions. Again, only a good history, examination, and appropriate testing will point you in a specific direction. See your doctor and see what comes as a suggestion. Hope I have answered your query.

Now everytime Im on the toilet today blood spurts out..should I go see a doctor or wait it out? | Thank you for your query Yes, any rectal bleeding should be checked out immediately, especially in the quantity you mentioned and that spurts. Do you have any history of hemorrhoids, liver disease or intestinal/rectal surgery? Did you have any recent diarrheal disease? Sometimes increased intro abdominal pressure (such as when you cough) could rupture tiny blood vessels in the anal canal that can bleed If this continues, I recommend you go to the ER. If it is minimal or stops, see your physician ASAP to rule out serious disorders and prevent further blood loss. Expect to be hospitalized, with blood work. Depending on where the bleeding point is and how big it is, how much blood loss has occurred, you may need cautery/pressure Chat Doctor. These are just a few things. It may just be a small vessel bleed, and you may be allowed to go home after a few hours Hope this helps. Wish you good health. Please get back to us if you need any clarification |

The paleness and cold to touch could indicate a condition called shock which occurs due to low amount of circulating body fluids, a condition that could occur in case of certain bacterial infections which might need to be treated urgently. Continue sponging the baby as you are doing and also give ibuprofen or alternatively Metal syrup (metonymic acid) which is more effective in reducing temperature but once again, let me emphasize the significance of visiting a doctor. |

I eat fairly healthy, no spicy foods. A week ago i started brushing my teeth with arm and hammer baking soda because i heard it whitens your teeth but i havent done it in the past few days. What can this be? | Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. Inflammation of gums can be due to several reasons. Just check for any swelling or pus in that area or cavity in any nearby tooth. If so, you need to visit dentist for its treatment. As you mentioned using baking soda. Its has good abrasive action and raise pH of mouth inhibiting bacteria but at times it can also cause gum inflammation. I suggest you to use a good toothpaste with baking soda rather than raw soda. Maintain good oral hygiene. If there is any plaque or calculus deposits, get oral prophylaxis done. Brush twice a day. USS mouthwash. Do warm saline rinses. You can use Lidocaine oral gel on gums before eating. This will reduce burning sensation. Take good diet, multivitamin and minerals, specially vitamin C, a, iron. Massage your gums with a gum paint. If inflammation persists or worsens, see a dentist. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you! |

However a day later, I found that I had the urge to pee more often than usual immediately after emptying my bladder. I am 40 years old and my last period was a month back. I am 5\3" and weigh 70 kg. I have no pain at all while urinating. However, this sudden new symptom has caused me to be very anxious. I also have some PMS symptoms like muscle ache and so on. Could you please advise doctor? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Sometimes urine symptoms can happen whenever there is altered stool pattern. If there is any problem in stool passage, it may reflect as a burning sensation or frequency of urine as the nerve supply to both areas is same. In case there is no fever, and stomach is still upset, you can start with a probiotic like Econorm sachet twice a day for three days. If symptoms persist beyond 2 to 3 days, then get urine routine test and an ultrasound KUB and revert. A short course of antibiotic like Nitrofurantoin 100 mg twice a day for three days and Solifenacin 5 mg once a day for five days can be started after consultation with your GP. |

As you had spinal fusion and facing the pain again, there will be a weakness of these muscles which are not able to stabilize the spine. Also, post spinal fusion one needs to undergo a complete spinal rehabilitation as to safeguard the spine from future injuries. In my clinical practice, the majority of patients with degenerative disc disease are treated with physical therapy and responds well. We do even get post surgical, and we find a lot of them facing with muscle weakness and lack of spine stability. Recommending again the physical therapy rehabilitation of the spine will help them regain the normal functions and also make them away from future surgery. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor. |

You are referring to a deciduous molar which has an abscess. I do not know if you got the x-rays done and checked with your dentist. The successor premolar erupts at the age of 13-14 years, nearly 3 years from now. It is ideal to do a root canal treatment to save the space for successor tooth. However, whether or not a root canal can be done can be decided only after clinical and x-ray interpretation. I suggest you to consult your dentist and treatment done.

They occur suddenly and in episodes and can occur due to some form of seizure most likely partial seizures. These symptoms are persistent since last 5 years. Other possibility for such symptoms is panic attacks. But from available history chances of seizures are more though detailed evaluation is needed. I would advise you to visit a neuropsychiatric for treatment. EEG is an investigation that is done to find out focus of seizure. He should also undergo CT scan to find out any lesion in brain.

Also, I have recently began experiencing severe pain between my shoulder blades. It is a sharp, deep, aching type of pain. Should I be concerned with this? Thank you for your time. | HI. The pain you described in the lower left abdomen is suggestive of an ovarian cyst- It looks it has got twisted, so the exudate material got escaped, to the under surface of the diaphragm. The irritation of the diaphragm causes the referred pain to the shoulder. This is sufficient reason for the exploration of the abdomen by laparotomy or laparoscopy urgently. By then go for :Blood-complete blood picture, kidney functions tests, blood sugar fasting and post-lunch, Urine-routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity (before start of antibiotic)Ultrasonography of abdomen. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello. My husband had a very agressive chemotherapy with temodal, interferon alfa and radiation for treating a reccurent malignant melanoma, stage III from november 2009 til november 2010. Now, the results of RMN scan shows the presence of 2 aracnoid cysts of 2.6/3 cm and 2.8/2 cm. The other results were perfectly normal. He doesnt have any symptoms.Do you think it is possible that they appeared as a consequence of the chemotherapy? Is it possible to disappear by themselves? What shall we do? Please give us your opinion.Best regards.Dana Bozesan | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Arachnoid cysts in brain are benign thin walled cysts arising from the covering in the brain. It has nothing to do with aggressive chemotherapy for malignant melanoma. It does not cause any serious problem and in most cases is left untreated. Treatment involves complete cyst removal only when there is sufficient problem and symptoms that can be explained purely by the presence of the cysts. Most people have a single cyst and few have multiple cysts. Since he does not have symptoms, the arachnoid cysts are not a concern. However, a close follow-up must be done for malignant melanoma and should MRI be done at that time then a record of the increase in size of the arachnoid cyst might be made. These are slow growing and stable lesions. Please do not worry. |

Even consuming / prescribing natural remedies are based on many factors which require a clear picture of your health, which is not possible without a thorough read of your reports.

What could be causing this? Should I be worried? | Hi, By your history and description, possibility of allergic rhinitis and asthma is more likely. Since you are already having allergies, exposure of those allergens can cause allergic reactions in nose and lungs. So in my opinion, you should follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid allergen exposure. 2. Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day. 3. Start Montelukast (anti-allergic) and Fexofenadine (antihistamine) combination once a day at night before going to sleep.4.

In case repeated episodes of palpitations with SOB, then you must rule out any heart rhythm problem or heart disease. For that you first have ECG, holter monitoring,2D echo of heart by consulting physician or cardiologist. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hello..i have a bit pain in the middle right side of my stomach.So i did a Ultrasound of the whole abdomen and the finding are: bilateral mild nephromegaly with mild dilation of the pelvicalyceal system of the right kidney and mildly enlarged prostrate. | HI. Since the prostate is at the base of the urethra, the obstruction caused by an enlarged prostate can cause back-pressure to cause reflux of the urine from the urinary bladder to the ureters and up to the kidneys causing the changes you have seen in the ultrasonography. I would suggest such a patient the following. To get a consultation of a Urologist (Surgeon) for physical examination of the prostate by per-anal palpation by a finger to ascertain the size, consistency, tenderness and all relevant examination.PSA and all other blood tests including kidney function tests and sugar. Urine -routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity tests. If Cancer is suspected a core-biopsy may be needed as also Orchidectomy. Prostatectomy as a treatment and as a specimen for biopsy. This should solve your problem. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My son is 6 years old, and had a 3 week long viral infection in May 2013- he had a high fever, and severe leg pain from the knee down. Since then, his tonsils have never returned to normal size, and he s had 5 different throat infections. Each time he gets one, he gets a high fever, and its accompanied by the same leg pain in his right leg. He has had blood labs drawn twice, and they all come out normal. What is causing this leg pain? Is there more tests I should be inquiring about? Should I be worried about his tonsils? | Leg pain could be arthralgia and as it is associated with fever and sore throat it could be due to Streptococcal infection which is the causative agent for Rheumatic fever. So my opinion is to do a throat swab culture, blood for CRP, AS title and ESR, X-ray paranasal sinus. For tonsils, to avoid repeated episodes of tonsillitis after a course of antibiotics twice daily gurgle with Betadine gurgle solution will help prevent recurrence. |

Due to problematic situations in our life, it is common to be stressed. When we are stressed, we are not able to focus and concentrate which results in increasing forgetfulness. I suggest that you should consult a psychiatrist in order to get evaluated for clinical depression. Depression will respond to anti-depressant medications like Escitalopram. In addition, you should start exercising daily. It will help you relax and feel better. Discussing your problems with someone or writing diary on a daily basis also help relieve the stress and feel better. I do hope I was able to help you out with your query. Best wishes, |

He will get sick and complain that he fills nauseous and has difficulty breathing. He walks really stiff with his shoulders hunched and although I repeated ask him what is wrong, he tells me he is fine. Today, we had to leave the movie early because he was breathing so heavy as to appear to growl and complained that he was about to vomit. When we got home, he was fine and said that he was not acting sick or breathing funny. This happens quite often. He also does poorly in school. His teachers say he does not pay attention to anything going on in class and does his work very slowly and very sloppily. | Hi, Welcome to the ChatDoctorBrief...
