Can energy drinks lead to extreme pain in chest and stomach?
I am 20 years old and weigh approximately 140 lbs. I am having extreme pain in the left side of my chest and the upper left hand side of my stomach. At times it is bareable at others i cant seven stand up straight. I had a monster energy drink earlier today. But other than that all ive had to drink today is water. Is this something i should visit a doctor about? Or is it due to the monster? Ive had energy drinks before and not had this pain afterwards. | Hi,I have gone through your query.Monster energy drink has large amount caffeine, quite higher than recommended limit. What you are experiencing is a side effect of Caffeinated drinks. Regular use of energy drink should be avoided.Since other than energy drink you had only water, it has affected you more with acid formed in the stomach.I suggest you to eat something and take rest. If you start getting palpitation, dizziness or nausea, then consult a local doctor.There is a incidence of death after consuming two cans of Monster drink within 24 hours due to caffeine overdose.Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.You can contact me on my page | |
Suggest alternative to Doxycycline Hyclate for prostate enlargement
I'm a 63 year old male, non-smoker, non-drinker, exercising and healthy, with symptoms of benign prostate enlargement. Yesterday, visited large practice in major city that specializes in urology for exam. Exam did not consist of PSA, digital exam or blood work and physician prescribed doxycycline hyclate 100mg twice daily for 21 days and wishes to re-examine me in six weeks. I am severely allergic to all penicillins and cephalosporins, thus the prescription above. After examining the very serious and potentially fatal side effects of doxycycline hyclate, I am inclined to not take this medication. Question 1. What are the probabilities of serious side effects with this medication.? Extremely low, moderate or high? Question 2. Is there another antibiotic that could be prescribed with less serious potential side effects? I understand that the physician is just trying to eliminate the possibility of a prostate infection prior to doing a PSA, etc., but, I'm really lacking enough information to decide if this prescription is worth the risk. Thanks, | Hi, Doxycycline is not used for BPH. It might have been prescribed for prostatitis (inflammation or infection of the prostate). You can consult a urologist and start on drugs like Finasteride or Tamsulosin. If medical management fails you might have to undergo surgical removal of the prostate. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician | |

Suggest treatment for chronic cough
Hi I had chronic cough for few months doc gave me antibioticsAnd inhaler, no change in cough. Went back to doc 3 months later again she gave me antibiotic and inhaler, said if cough doesn't go away go back. Cough remained total eight months. Doc ordered x rAy which showed density in left lung she ordered CT scan then I was referred to pulmonologist who asked series of questions then views x ray and ct scan. Now pulmonologist is wanting biopsy done on a small abnormal spot size of grape on this thing. Other symptoms include spitting up clear sputum. Could this be cancer? Or possibly something els? I do run out of breath and feel it's harder to get air at times. I get chest pains which feel kind of like heartburn only more pain then burning, it's not unbearable. I'm now starting to get these pains in lower left lung area. The pain their is bearable but uncomfortable and just started a day or two ago. | Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. Yes, this can be lung cancer. You are having chronic cough which is not relieved by routine antibiotic and drugs. You are also having grape like opacity on chest x ray which is confirmed on CT thorax. All these are favoring lung cancer more. Another possibility is granulomatous lung infection like tuberculosis. So better wait for biopsy result to confirm diagnosis.If you are active smoker then smoking cessation is must. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |
Have had tubes tied. Had light bleeding. Why was there persistent fluttering in abdomen?
I have my tubes tied 10 years ago. Two months ago I had light bleeding lasting only a few hours and then stopping. Last month was the same. I was exhibiting all the signs of pregnancy but 4 pregnancy tests and a blood test came up negative. This month I have had three days light bleeding and I was sitting at my desk working when all of a sudden a persistant flutter started in the upper left side of my abdomen . When my doctor reassured me i was not pregnant I was relieved and hadn t given it another thought. Now i m worried again. | HI, thanks for using healthcare magicTubal ligation procedures for birth control are usually very effective. During pregnancy the hormone HCG is released, this can be detected normally from day 12 to 14 past conception and your pregnancy test would have been able to pick it up if it was present.The flutter sensation that you are experiencing may be related to either the intestines or the nerve supply to the muscles or skin of the abdomen.I hope this helps | |

Q. I was pregnant with twins and opted for medical termination of pregnancy. Please help.
Hi doctor, I am a 36 year old married female and have twins. Last month, I was again pregnant with twins and for some reasons, opted for MTP. It was done in a hospital. Of late, there has been heavy bleeding and resulting weakness. At the time of the medical procedure, I was prescribed capsule Zevit for five days and tablet Monocef for five days which I took religiously. Can you suggest some medicines? | Hi. The reason for heavy bleeding could be due to some retained products of conception. Get an ultrasound examination which will tell about the status of the uterine cavity.

How to cure grade 3&4 bleeding from brain?
my sister was born at 27 weeks. she has grade 3 and 4 bleeding in her brain and has csf fluid being drained by a shunt wire coming out of her head. what are the long term problems associated with this. and do children ever recover the damage in the brain and become normal | In case of preterm births, developmental maturity is not achieved at birth. The inner lining of the brain is very fragile and bleeding from there is not uncommon. Usually the blood gradually gets absorbed but remnant debris may cause blockage of drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid that provides nutrition to the brain. In such a case a shunt might need to be placed as in case of your child. But there are possiblities of the shunt getting blocked and the shunt might need to be replaced from time to time.Human brain has high level of plasticity and reallocation of the brain functions occurs eventually, especially over the first 5 years of life. Developmental interventions are greatly beneficial in this regard and may lead to significant regain of function and many of such children can lead a life free of disabilities. But early intervention is the key which you should promptly seek. | |
Q. What can be done for allergy with noise sensitivity?
Hi doctor, I am 19 years of age. I have been suffering from a kind of allergy for almost 4 years. My mother has been suffering from same kind of allergy but her case is not worse than mine. I feel runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, mild rashes after having a shower and breathing difficulty also. My heart beat gets faster and rapid. I am also suffering from noise sensitivity. I cannot tolerate loud voices, my heart starts beating faster and I feel dizziness and headache. In my own residential area, I catch allergy for almost 360 days of the year. I am feeling much suffocation and rapid heart beat. Another thing, whenever I get stuck in some kind of mental or emotional stress, my heart rates becomes faster and irregular and at that point of time I feel suffocation too. A nearby doctor suggested me the treatment of nebulizer, but I am not feeling much better. | Hi. I have read your query and there are two components so I will deal them separately. First, the increased heart rate in stressful conditions: that is anxiety and not uncommon. You can try breathing exercises but if not controlled/or aggravates to full panic attack, you will need CBT by a psychiatrist or psychologist and medication. Best breathing exercise is placing a paper bag over mouth and nose, and completely inflating and deflating it till heart beat and breathing become normal. Now for your allergy: seems to be allergic rhinitis/sinusitis. You can use a maintenance therapy of Myteka 20 mg once a day with once a day Softin and increase Softin on excessive exposure to allergens like dust, pollen, etc. | |
What causes severe foot pain while walking?
My left foot only hurts when I walk. I noticed about a week ago my second toe is red, and when I walk I do get discomfort. I had blood work done back in October of 2014, and my results were all normal. I just want to make certain that I do not have anything that can lead into a serious condition that cannot be helped. Please advise. Thank you! Marguerite | Hi,Thanks for your query.According to your description , pain over your foot seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be an acute attack of gout.I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug likemotrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.Take care | |
Suggest remedy for sharp pain in right shoulder blade
Hello, I ve had sharp pain in my right shoulder blade on the inside of my back (if that makes sense) I think for quite a few months. It s rarely aggravated except in very specific movements, such as putting my arm flat on a wall and leaning into it. My partner rubbed the area both of us thinking it was a tightened muscle and it was too tender to do anything with and now hurts more today then it has lately. I ve looked up pinched nerve, but the pain is mostly localized to that one spot and somewhat radiates down into my upper right rib under my arm. The pain isn t severe, but when it strikes it s definitely noticeable and somewhat alarming. Thank you in advance for your help. | Hi there! !The pain in your shoulder could be due to several factors such a muscle sprain, arthritis, rotator cuff injury etc. Sprain or a tear might occur if there has been an overuse of the shoulder, for a short period of time. You havent mentioned if the pain is associated with swelling, redness or any accompanying chest pain or so. If the home care remedies, such as Ice and painkiller medication do not work, please do consult a specialist. They may prescribe blood tests to rule out gall stones and pancreatitis , as such conditions may cause referred pain to the shoulder. Hope this helps. | |

Yes, I have had Type 2 diabetes for over ten years... take pills - no insulin but lately I have been extremely thirsty and I urinate more than I ever have....

Can prostate cancer be cured with radical diet changes?
My doctor told me that my PSA spiked and that I need a prostate biopsy and most likely surgery and chemo and radiation. I have learned that prostate cancer is very slow growing and so I have taken steps to treat it myself with radical diet changes and it seems to be working. WWW.WWWW.WW is also very helpful to learning more about cancer treatment and prevention. | Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Diet change will not cure the prostate cancer. You should go for prostate biopsy and then go for surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Any diet change will not cure any cancer. It is just a false belief. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.

Suggest treatment for mild cerebral palsy and anxiety disorders
Hello Doc First some info about myself. Sorry if this is long. Female 24 years of age Height: 5 2 Weight 160 Has a child that is 3y 7m approximately Previous surgeries: Toe surgery, C-section. Medicines: Lamotragine, Seratreline, an sometimes Benadryl Conditions: Mild cerebral Palsy, Anxiety Disorder, ADHD, and depression. Let me first start from the beginning. This all started shortly after my child was born. I thought it was just after birth symptoms. After a while I got diagnosed with anxiety disorder. My doctor rarely takes me seriously. I feel like it is because of my mental status. However I know the difference between a anxiety/panic attack, and when something else is wrong. No to mention over time these symptoms have grown worse, and more frequent. I also notice Also my meds almost completely stop them from happening. I have been a lot better while on them. I have been taking them for 3 years maybe a little longer.My weight has stayed the same pretty much. I tried eating healthier, and they got worse. I also excursive more regularly. Symptoms: Random pain in different spots Trouble breathing when exercising. Excessive sweating at random times of the day. Getting overheated easily. Feeling sick, and slightly faint if I do not eat regular meals with snacks in between. Almost always have some sort of mucus build up in my sinuses. Feeling hungry sometimes even after big meals. Fluctuating blood pressure that goes up and down. Heart palpitations when exercising. I have been tested for Diabetes. I do not have it. I have had my cheat x rayed to look at my heart. Cat scan to. I am tired of feeling sick almost all the time. These symptoms do not fluctuate around my period. So it is not my menstrual cycle. I hope you can help me figure this out. Thanks Alora | Hello Welcome to HCM and thanks for providing detailed history.I can understand your problem. A lot of females develop symptoms of anxiety and mild depression following childbirth. In most of females these symptoms improve by own but in some they may persist in form of anxiety, restlessness or depression. The symptoms like random pains in different spots, breathing difficulties during exercise, sweating, feeling of sickness and fainting etc could occur due to anxiety but before making anxiety as diagnosis we should rule out medical causes like hyperthyroidism, hypoglycaemia etc. In hyperthyroidism such symptoms can occur so first of all you should get your thyroid levels checked to rule out hyperthyroidism.If medical causes are ruled out then anxiety is most likely the cause of your symptoms. You are taking Lamotrigine and Sertraline already and as per my opinion these are right drugs for your symptoms, but these symptoms are persisting so either the doses of drugs should be increased or the medicines should be changes. SNRI medicines like Venlafaxine can prove useful for your somatic pain conditions and can be replaced with Sertraline. Apart from this pregabalin can be added for pains and ill also reduce the anxiety. Discuss with your psychiatrist for prescription of these drugs.Thanks, hope this helps you. Take care | |
What causes stomach pain with red and burning sensation in eyes?
My 3 year old son has a tummy ache, with red eyes and burning eyes. Also headache. He throw up at 130 this morning but nothing since then. He s been drinking water and saltine crackers. What should I do next. Take him to er or is this just going to pass. | Hello. I just read through your question. The symptoms you describe are consistent with a stomach virus. It is not unusual, with any viral illness, to experience red burning eyes. Keep him well hydrated with sips of clear fluids, and this will maintain his hydration status. As long as his hydration is maintained, there is no need for an emergency room visit. The oldest will resolve on its own. | |
Does gall bladder cancer with liver metastasis have a grim prognosis?
my sister has gall bladder cancer that has spread to the liver and now is experiencing fluid build up in the abdomen in which they have found cancer cells and which has to be drained every couple of days She is very weak and in pain from the fluid buidl up. She was diagnosed over a year ago and has had chemo since with bad reactions. Can you please give me a very frank diagnosis of what to expect next and how long she has to live. Chemo is supposed to begin again tommorrow but she may be too weak to handle it. | Hi,Thanks for writing in.Sorry to hear about your sister who is having gall bladder cancer with liver metastasis. Cancer is a challenging diagnosis but we have to treat it till the end. It appears that she is having stage 4 cancer. Unfortunately in this situation it is tough for the patient to survive more than 2 years however with expected response to chemotherapy and good supportive care a patient can have a better quality of life.Since she is having fluid collection in the abdomen regularly, it appears that the cancer is going out of control and the fluid generation is taking place rapidly. She is weak for chemotherapy but that is the only way to extend her life by months. With care she might survive for 6 months. Hope she is not in too much of pain. Please do not worry. | |
How can family members of ptsd and brain injury patient help him cope up with the illness?
Why does it seem so difficult for family members to understand and cope with a veteran with ptsd and brain injury? The lack of interest and trying to learn has taken it s toll on a young family and it just seem we old folks only care or try to understand . What are the concrete things we need to do everyday?Yes.,the Va has helped but I m not sure society was ready for the grief that goes with it and that includes family members . this person is not the same . how does one really support? | Hi,For providing support, one first needs to accept the other as they are. It is often difficult for family members to accept people with PTSD, brain damage or other such disorders as most of them do not understand what the patient is going through. Sharing reading material about the disease, symptoms and management amongst the family members can help them become aware of what this is all about. They will then find it easier to accept and not be critical about behavior that otherwise might have seemed weird to them.Best wishes. | |

Suggest remedies for dark colored pus filled lump on my foot
Hello. I m a 15 year old female and a few days ago, I noticed that I have a dark colored, pus-filled lump on the right side of my big toe. It is not painful, but it can get to be a little uncomfortable to the touch. The pus is slowly but surely draining from the lump though. Should i still get this looked at, or should i just let the pus drain completely on it own??? | HiWelcome to health care magicIt seems from the history that you are having pus filled abscess on the foot. I will treat these kind of infections by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. If the condition does not show improvement incision and drainage is required.Do consult your doctor for examination and appropriate treatment.Thank you for writing to Health care magic. | |

Q. Is there any way to reduce ketone levels in a diabetic patient?
Hello doctor, I am a diabetes patient. My sugar level in fasting is above 350 and I checked ketone in urine, it was found to be 4+. My height is 170 cm approximately and weight check found 62 kg. What can I do for ketone? | Hello. Ketones usually develop more often in T1 diabetes. Especially when there is no adequate insulin and glucose levels are higher than 300 to 350 mg. It is necessary to take adequate water to eliminate those through urine. Avoid exercise when ketones are present. Try and maintain closer to normal glucose levels. Check glucose levels at home more often (every 3 to 4 hours). There is no mention of what is the treatment with the dosage of various drugs, PP glucose level, and HbA1c %. You have to bring glucose in better control to prevent ketones developing. If proper care is not taken, there can be a further complication of developing diabetic ketoacidosis, a medical emergency. If you have any questions please do come back. Plus it is necessary to look at your current treatment (drugs and dosage), diet pattern and extent of daily exercises. | |
Will my wife get Hepatitis from me even if she has taken vaccination ?
I used to donate blood , likewise one year before, I donated blood in my organisation. At that time they informed me that I have been infected by the Hepatatis Virus. So I got frightened at that time and i went through several tests to check whether the virus found will lead to Jaundice . Then with all the test reports I consulted a physician in Ramachandra Hospital and she said that you are normal but the virus in your blood will be there for long and it will ther in blood as a carrier and it will not lead to jaundice any way. At time I didnt got married and I asked the doctor , will there be any problem in having sex with my wife. The doctor replied that my wife need to put the vaccination injection for three times as a course( 1 month , 2 month and sixth month ). Now I got married and still I am afraid to have sex with my wife. Please give me a correct solution for this problem. | Dear Anon, This is turning into a phobia. You don't need to worry about passing on the Hep B virus to your life, as she is vaccinated ... but if she is not, then please DO get her vaccinated. In either case, it is possible to test her blood for both the Hep B antigen and antibody. If the antigen is present, she is a carrier like you, so no worries. If antibodies are found in the right amount, she is protected by Nature or vaccines already, so again no problem. If she has no antibody, vaccinate her. That's it. Problem almost solved. There are two more points to discuss: A. Transmission of Hep B by the sexual route is possible, but not that common. To protect her further, you may want to use a condom. B. If she gets vaccinated, she may take up to 15 days for antibodies to come up in her blood, and she would get protected only after the 2nd dose has been given. C. Oh yes, one more point: About 2% of humans do NOT form antibodies after natural or vaccine-acquired Hep B. If she is one of those, God help you. D. Last point: If, after all this, you are still panicking, please go to a counsellor first, before trying to do anything else. I am sorry, but the thing is, you are panicking. Just enjoy life. Get her vaccinated. That is all. Regards. Dr. Taher (drtaher@gmail.com) | |

What causes pain in the upper stomach?
For the past 5 or 6 days I've had slight pain/cramping in my upper stomach. It comes and goes throughout the day, with the pain lasting for 5-10 seconds. It's far from unbearable and antacids seem to be working. However, the cramping is most prevalent when I have an empty stomach. I've been testing different types of foods to see if they have an impact on the symptoms. So far the only thing that seems to cause the discomfort is an empty stomach. The pain itself hasn't really impacted my daily activities and never reaches a point where it's too much to handle. However, I'm somewhat concerned because I've never had this problem before. | U r suffering from acid peptic disease. Duodenal ulcer causes pain in empty stomach which relieve on taking food. Treatment include 1)dietry modifications ( avoid spicy good, coffe, chocolate, carbonated drinks etc)2) antacids3)H1 blockers4)PPI If not improving, go for an upper GI endoscopy and H.pylori testing | |

Should a liver biopsy be done for elevated liver enzymes and fatty liver?
I am a 63 yr old woman. My doctor has been checking my LFT s for a few months since only my ALT went up to 43 after two months of taking more tylenol then I usually take but not even considered a lot. After staying off Tylenol and alcohol for 3 wks, we retested and my ALT was down to 40 but she recommended a liver ultrasound. Results today show mild fatty liver. I am normal BMI and all other testing on blood for other causes is negative. All of my blood tests were normal in Feb, 2018. I also take 4mg of Testoterone daily and Fosomax 70mg once a week. Have started Fosomax in March, 2018, Testosterone taking for over a year. Should I have a liver biopsy considering there is not a logical reason for a fatty liver?

Thoughts? | Hi, I don't think that biopsy is required. it would be better to do MRI Scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

ADD, severe anxiety and stress. How can I get prescribed with Valium?
I was wondering how I can get prescribed Valium by my doctor. I am a 19 year old Male and was prescribed 30mg Adderall XR in May of 2012 for my, just then diagnosed, ADD. I have always dealt with high anxiety, but recently it has gotten to a point that is distracting in my life. I am afraid to ask him and have him think I am some druggie, when I m not and I m afraid he d say something like the adderall is supposed to help with that. Please help! I am extremely stressed about this situation. Also, I think I may have generalized anxiety disorder but have never been diagnosed. Anything you can say about that would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you! | Dear dsoullie, Hi! Your concerns about your health are very natural. You have got all rights to discuss your health with your doctor including the need to take valium. Actually for anxiety symptoms, though diazepam (Valium) will help you symptomatically, there are better options than taking Valium. Discuss with your psychiatrist about taking some SSRI's along with your routine drugs. Also benefits of CBT and psychotherapy cannot be over emphasized for you. Trying seeing your psychiatrist soon and do discuss your concerns in detail with him/her. Hope i could solve your concerns. | |

Zhis isnt very common in his age. Usually abscesses are found after sepsis or some serious surgical procedure. It is important to be sure that his isnt adenoma, or ehinococal cyst.

I'm sorry that you had to run around the ER twice. Regarding your child as he has fever with rash it is better he is hospitalised for observation as the rash may be a wide variety from simple viral to serious meningococcal infection.

If your child is active, feeding well , passing urine regularity with the rash now fading you needn't worry much. But he has any one of danger signs like drowsiness, inactivity, increasing rash, not accepting food, not passing urine etc you have to consult the ER immediately. Hope this has been helpful to you, kindly feel free to contact again for any queries. Kindly rate the answer if so. Take care. | |

My doctors soonest appointment is two weeks away. | Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.This looks like some benign subcutaneous lesion. In many cases there are glands (lymph nodes) around and behind ears that commonly swell when you have a cold or sore throat. More serious infections may cause the glands to enlarge and become very firm and tender. Also, considering your description this may be some other benign subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma, fibroma or atheroma and if there are no skin changes such as redness, pus discharge or pain and fever then you should not be worried since it can be easily surgically removed under local anesthesia. Infections should be treated with antibiotics. If there is no improvement you should see ENT doctor.I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.Kindly regards. Wish you a good health. | |
Can i get pregnant by contact of semen with vagina?

What causes difficulty in conceiving despite having intercourse on the fertile days?
Hi, I am married for past 1.5 yrs and we have decided to have a baby. We had intercourse on 12, 13, 14 15 and 17 th day(basically her fertile period) couting from 1st day of my wife s periods. It was unsuccessful, this was our first try although i am not really concerned would like to take your opinion on why my wife did not conceive. If possible give some pointers on increasing the chances of conceiving.

Is there any problem with this condition? | Hello. I have gone through your query. I would like to know a few more details too. Passing cloudy/milky urine can be due to several conditions. Most commonly it is either due to some infection or due to excessive phosphate salts in urine. But can also be due to lymph in urine which needs to be evaluated. I would suggest a detailed clinical examination by a urologist with some basic urine analysis and ultrasound evaluation of the kidneys and bladder to identify the cause of the cloudy urine which then be treated appropriately. For more information consult a urologist online --> | |

Can I get pregnant while suffering from uterine fibroid?
Hello dr I am 39 and have been using novex ds for the last 7 months. First for heavy bleedng later I continued it as a contraceptive. Now I my periods are delayed and I was last month diagnosed with left ovarian cyst and a 21/23.9mm fibroid in the uterus. My husband n I want a child now will I be able to conceive after leaving novex? Plz help | Hallow Dear, Novex DS Tablet contains Ormeloxifene as an active ingredient. It has got contraceptive effect; hence while you are on these pills, you cannot conceive. You do have a chance of conceiving after discontinuing these pills. Fibroid may not interfere in conceiving; however, the fibroid may cause complications of pregnancy or delivery. You may have to face miscarriage, premature delivery, etc. During pregnancy, the fibroid always increases in size and may have bleeding in it. After delivery, since the uterus cannot contract effectively, you may have to face excessive bleeding. Of course the size of the fibroid is not very big. So you may take a chance of pregnancy without removing fibroid. Left ovarian cyst needs to be evaluated. If it is corpus luteum cyst, it should not cause any problem. Ultrasonography ovulation monitoring will give some clue. If you are ovulating then you may go for pregnancy. However, if you are not ovulating, ovulation induction may be required. Please report to your Gynaecologist before attempting any pregnancy. Dr. Nishikant Shrotri | |
Nausea, vomiting. Had cancer surgery, created hernia below right breast. Is this as result of surgery?
I had major cancer surgery in the left chest wall. Due to other complications, my surgeon had to create a hernia below my right breast. That was in November 2012. Recently, I am experiencing nausea and occasional vomiting about 2 hours after I eat my first meal of the day. Is this a result of the surgery? Should I make an appointment with the surgeon? | Hi,Thanks for writing in.The occasional vomiting and nausea could be due to the hernia as you have pointed out. As I do not know the exact details of the surgical procedure, your doctor would be the best person to discuss this with you. A chest X ray may be required that needs to be compared with earlier chest X rays.As for your first meal, I suggest you take that in small amounts divided in 2 -3 smaller meals, until you meet up with your doctor. Hope this helps. | |

Q. Please explain the poisonous effect of phenol ingestion.
Hello doctor, My friend aged 30 had two drops of phenol mistaking for milk. He vomited and had lot of salt water. Please advice for any side effect. | Hi. I want to assure you not to worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. It is fine because it was only two drops. 2. We usually do not go for emesis (vomiting) for phenol poisoning cases. Because, it is a volatile compound and causes vapors entering the lungs through the airways. 3. As it was only two drops, I do not think it may cause much trouble. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation. For further follow up consult a general practitioner online.---> | |

OCD can be occasionally difficult to treat, but with right approach, can be dealt with effectively.Had I been your treating psychiatrist, I would have considered treatment with medications from selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like fluvoxamine or sertraline together with behavior therapy in form of exposure and response prevention.

Is swollen lymph nodes and free fluids in pelvis a matter of concern?
My 14 year old son woke up yesterday throwing up and fever. He had fever most of the day. I took him to the dr today and he had a ct scan to rule out appendicitis. The ct scan states appendix not seen but he has swollen lymph nodes and free fluid in his pelvis... Radiologist told us to not let him eat anything for the rest of the day and see dr again tomorrow..

Try to identify stressors in your life and start working on it. Avoid stress and anxiety. Be relax and calm. | |

Hi! Dr. My sgot is 130 and sgpt 150. I am avoiding alcohol and oily food. The problem seems to be aggravated by alcohol consumption.Can I have brown bread,rice and proteins. If yes what protein rich food can i have.What quantity of carbohydrates and proteins can I have ?
