What causes pain from anus to testicles?
Hi,my fiance has a problem with his testicles.Last night he showed me that his one ball looks normal but the other one is bigger.It almost looks swollen.He says it feels like all the veins from the one testicle has moved over.(Is that really possible?). He says its not sore its just irritating. He doesnt know how long its been there as he has never felt this before. Sometimes when he ejaculates,it comes out like small lumps(blockages) and sometimes he gets this pain running from the back to his penis.

Treatment for fluctuating blood pressure and breathing difficulty
I'm a 25 year old female 110lbs 4'11", my blood pressure has been jumping around for two days now that I know of, the highest it's read is 177/108 and is now 133/94 and keeps changing and I'm having troubles breathing at times, should I go to the hospital or wait til tomorrow to see my doctor | Hi,Welcome.This is Dr Sameer.Fluctuating bp can be because of lot of causes. Some are infection, stress or taking some other medicine which decrease the efficacy of the drug. Other possible cause is increased requirement of the drug. You should keep monitoring your bp & should tell your treating doctor who can modify the medicines accordingly.Shortness of breath on exertion at your age can be because of Anemia (low Hb) or due to some structural heart disease. I will recommend for a blood test, CBC(Complete blood count) & 2D Echo for it.Both are not a emergency & you could prefer to meet your treating doctor tomorrow.Thanks | |
Should a biopsy be done for high PSA value?
My father who is 80 years now is suffering from prostate enlargement from last few years. Recently he is diagnosed with spondilytis in C5 and C6, He has problem in urinating. His PSA count is 49 now which is almost constant from years. When we have consulted a urologist, he suspects a prostate cancer and he also suspects that it has already spread to his spine because of which is having spondilytis problem. We are in a dilema whether to go for biopsy or not, Is the biopsy risky now? Is it just prostate enlargement or prostate cancer? Pl guide us what to do next | Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your father has prostate enlargement with high PSA level and back pain. All features favour the diagnosis of prostatic cancer with spine metastasis. He should go for prostate biopsy. It is not risky at all. He can go for trans rectal ultrasound guided biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then he should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.

She just can t keep weight on & has stomach pain. The GI Dr.s did a colonoscopy to look for the cause. Did a a biopsy waiting on results.

Q. Is it advisable to get RCT done in a child?
Hello doctor, My 2.5 years old daughter had a fall around 6 to 7 months back and one of her front teeth was chipped. At that time, it looked fine and till now, she had no pain or any sensitivity issues in eating. But off late, the color of the chipped tooth has turned green. We consulted two dentists, first one was a specialist in child dentistry and recommended an RCT treatment wherein a chemical will be placed to cure the infection. He said that the discoloration will increase with time and this baby tooth might fall off much earlier (in 4 to 5 years) than the expected time (6 to 8 years). The other dentist recommended to observe for six months and see if any rash or boil is developed above the gums and any kind of pain is experienced. He also said that such a tooth might fall off before time. We are confused as to what we should do? If RCT is the way out then we would prefer to get it done before she starts with her formal schooling at 3. But we are mainly concerned if she could endure such a treatment as she is very small. Please provide suggestion. I have attached a photo of the X-ray. | Hi. I got your chief complaint and opinions of two dentists. As far age is concerned, your daughter still is in need of these teeth as permanent teeth take time to erupt, by 6 to 7 years they will erupt. Till then, healthy front teeth are important otherwise she will develop irregular teeth later. As tooth has changed color so it is better to act on the suggestions of pedodontist and go for pulpectomy or RCT. It will keep the tooth intact and prevent formation of any cyst later. There is nothing wrong with it and there are modern gadgets to do the procedure, she will not feel any kind of pain during the procedure. If you leave it as such, it will weaken with time and may later contribute to huge financial burden to treat irregular teeth. | |

I am very hygenicn brush teeth 3 times a day, flossy daily n use listerine original mouthwash . The dentist also says that he does not smell my breath as being bad. Don t know what to make of it too many reactions from people so I know it smells. Bad. Advise please. | hello and welcome,you are suffering from halitosis.this caused by accumulation of plaque and food debris around teeth.the no.of times you brush your teeth does not matter.always brush your teeth in correct method-ie,in down to up and up to down manner.hold the toothbrush in 45 degree angle .visit your dentist and get a deep scaling done to remove the hard calcific deposits of plaque called calculus.also check the salivary secretion.the plaque accumulation will be more in case if the salivary secretion is more mucous in nature.streptococcus sanguis,s.mitis,s.mutans,and actinomyces viscosus are usually present micro-organisms in plaque.if there is gingivitis and bleeding gums associated,then take tab.microdox.100mg,once daily for 3 days.use soft interdental brush and tongue cleaner to clean your teeth.the listerine which is a chlorhexidine gluconate containing mouthwash will help to remove the micro-organisms in the mouth.take care. | |
What causes coma despite normal brain activity tests?
My grandmother was told she has breast cancer about two months ago. Last week she fell in the shower, still unclear what happened. She was conscious when taken to the hospital, but had difficulty breathing. She requested to have breathing tube which they placed her in induced coma to do. They also put in a feeding tube. After a few days of them taking care of some issues which she had to have a blood transfusion and fight off a bacterial infection they were able to take out the tubes and wake her from the coma. Only problem is she won t wake up. It s been 4 days since and she still hasn t woken up. They ve run several tests and all of her responses including brain activity is normal. She just won t wake up. I m worried she never will. Is this normal or is there a chance she won t wake up? | What tests did they do to examine the cerebral activity? If there have been a severe infection, different mechanisms are altered. Infection is one of the main causes (together with drugs and dehydration) to impair the consciousness in people of age. Older people are less likely to recover from coma because the ability of the brain to repair itself is decreased . | |
Sudden feeling of panic attack, depression, elevated TSH, had excessive use of nasal sprays before the episode. Side effect of nasal spray?
Hello Doctor Two weeks back I had cold, cough and sinus problem. I used Otrivin for few days when ever i felt there is nasal block. I think more than four days i used and later when i met doc he gave me another one called Rhinocort Aqua which i used for two days if I am not wrong. I am sure I used over dose both the medicines. Last Saturday all of a sudden I felt panic attack and a kind of depression . I went to the Doc he is specialised in internal medicine and I explained him about my situation. He suggested me to check my TSH and it is 7.50! I never had any kind of such issues and I am wondering how come all of a sudden my TSH shows 7.5 and become panic and depressed? Is this because of any side effects of those nasal sprays which I sued? Another interesting thing is whenever I feel depressed, I take two tablets of cod- liver oil and I can feel the difference. Within few minutes the stress feeling behind my head vanished and I am so relaxed! | Persistent depression or anxiety is very unlikely because of the rhinocot or otrivin. However, transient anxiety or depressive like symptoms can occur. But these are self limiting No doctor can predict occurance of such symptoms with rhinocot or otrivin. This is not a ground for sue, decission is yours | |

What causes frequent fever and cold in a child?
Hello! Our daughter is 30 months old. For the past several months she was getting ill very often after she has had an enteric infection in the summer when she was treated with antibiotics. After that she had colds or flu several times, stomatitis, with a high fever. Recently when again she had a flu as we thought, our doctor advised to make some tests (blood, urine for dysbacteriosis etc.). The results returned with Proteus Vilgaris in her urine, sensitive to cyprofloxacin. Ultrasound for kidneys is fine, blood shows eosinophil - 1, white cells 5, neutrophyle lymphocyte 39, segment 53, ESR - 3. Can this be the reason why she is getting ill so often? If the reason is Proteus Vulgaris should there be any other symptoms apart from the fever? If we use antibiotics again will we supress her immune system even further? Should we repeat the urine test in case it is a mistake as we might have not collected her urine properly? Thank you very much in advance! | If urine test is positive for Proteus Vulgaris you will have to take appropriate antibiotics for urinary tract infection.Regarding recurrent episodes of cough cold and fever, it's not unusual for a baby under the age of a year to have frequent coughs and colds. At this age the body's immune system is still immature so a baby is likely to develop symptoms such as a cough, runny nose and sometimes a temperature when they become infected with common viruses.Other causes of such complaints are Allergy, chronic Rhinosinustis etc.For further queries regarding this disease or its medications you may take my appointment at Healthcare Magic.Dr. Khan Shoeb | |
Are mini pills better than condoms for women above 35?
I m 39 years old and I need a form of contraception instead of condoms. I tried Yasmin with no bad effects but I am concerned about my age. So I want to take the mini-pill with just 0.5mg lynestrenol. The research I ve done seems to say it s a better option for over-35yr women. Is this correct? | HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern.The OC pill has numerous benefits apart from contraception.It regulates menstrual patterns.It reduces heavy menstrual bleeding.ALso, due to regulation of the hormonal milieu, it leads to remission of your hormone related mood changes.It benefits headaches and cramps also.At 39, there is no reason for you not to take the pill if that is what suits you.Contraceptive choice is highly individualized, one HAS to go by the cafeteria approach.NO doctor can dictate what you should have, unless there are medical emergencies to take care of.As compared to condoms the pill is anyday more effective and has a lower failure ratePlease take the mini pill if that suits you.Ask your doctor to run through the medical eligibility checklist and if all is well, the pill is an excellent choice anyday, and there is no reason to recommend the coil or condoms over it.Make sure you take it consistently.yes, over 35, mini pills are safer than conventional combined hormonal pills.All the bestPlease feel free to discuss further. | |

Thank you for the query. It looks like you have not had proper diagnostics yet. Your symptoms are very characteristic for peptic ulcer. In such case upper GI endoscopy is advisable with Helicobacter Pylori test. It is very common that peptic ulcers cant get healed because of this infection. That is why it is very important to have it checked and if positive antibiotics are necessary. Sometimes such symptoms can be caused by gallstones. That is why if no findings in endoscopy, abdominal ultrasound should be performed as well as full blood work, liver tests and pancreas tests. Hope this will help. Regards. | |
What causes lump behind the ear and under the tongue after a remission from Hodgkin s lymphoma?
My mum is in remission from Hoskins lymphoma and follicular lymphoma since June and has now found a lump behind her ear and has purple lumps come up under her tounge and if she eats it drinks anything it’s really sore ,do you think it is the cancer coming back? | Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic! There I am of the opinion that Biopsy should be done. I would like you to understand that cancer has very high chances of remission as malignant cells are never 100% destroyed in your body with current treatment guidelines. So please consult your oncologist regarding this. And if you have reports and past records, please forward to me for further evaluation. Thank you for the query. Hope this clarifies your concerns. Take care Regards, Dr. Ashish Ranjan, General & Family Physician | |
How can severe toothache be treated?
My husband is on day 6 on antibiotics for an infection at the root of a tooth. Today his pain has increased to an intolerable level and his face is swollen, temp is 99.2. It s 10:45 p.m., so can t call his regular dentist. I m trying to decide if he go to the ER or wait till tomorrow. | Hello and Welcome to HCM, inhabe gone through your query.The history suggests that your husband’s tooth is infected with a periapical lesion (most probably). As you said he took antibiotics for 6days now. I dont think he needs to take them anymore. I would suggest you to make an appointment with the nearest dentist, as the tooth will more likely undergo Root Canal Treatment. The dentist will take an X-Ray of the involved tooth and will accordingly come to conclusion as if it might need a RCT or Extraction. Meanwhile take analgesic medicine only to relieve the pain and not antibiotics as he has completed that course. | |

I cleaned the area with alcohol swab and put a clean bandit around it. Can you please help ? | Hi, It could be a furuncle or a calcinosis. I feel that is condition is not normal. So, you must consult your dermatologist to arrive at a proper diagnosis and to initiate the treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. | |
What cause feverish feeling with temperature 97.6?
Is 98.6 the normal temperature in everybody? I begin to feel sick once my temperature rises above 97.7 and my normal, in my experience, has always been between 96.6 and 97.6. These days my temperature is always above 97.6 and I have been feeling feverish. Could I have an illness? | Hello, Welcome to HCM.I understand your concern.Normal body temperature is between 98-99 dF. So 98.6 is a normal temperature.Body temperature is related to BMR which is in turn regulated by several hormones.Your history appears non-specific and not related to any major illness. Still you should undergo thyroid profile and get your T3, T4 & TSH level done as it may be related to hyperthyroidism.It may also be due to hormonal imbalance if you are a female.Hope this will be helpful.Do ask if any further question is there.Thanks for using HCM. Take care. | |

I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help. | |

Could heart pressure lead to swelling in face?
An 8 year old boy from my church was taken to the hospital today with chest pains. They found that he has a mass putting pressure on his heart and are transporting him, via helicoptor, to a children's hospital. I had asked his mother last week about his face looking a bit swollen. Do you have any idea what the mass might be? | Hi,Yes, it's possible if mass is causing compression over and surrounding blood vessels it may lead swelling of face. Mass can have number of causes. Common cause is lymphoma is a type of blood cancer. However we cannot say the unless we do biopsy of the mass. So it's unwise to discuss regarding diagnosis until CT scan and biopsy is done.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards,Dr. Sagar Makode | |

Will trouble in breathing while playing in asthma indicate heart problem?
my old year old plays football but gets out of breath really easily, he also complains of his stomach hurting from time to time. he has mild asthma but takes an inhaler for this but doesnt seem to have any effect when he starts to play foot ball. could he have early signs of heart problems?? | Hello.Thank you for asking at HCM.I went through your son's history. Getting out of breath can be a symptom of both heart and respiratory disease. But if your son already has asthma, breathlessness/wheezing after exercise/sports suggests what we call "exercise-induced bronchospasm". Usually it means your son's asthma is not under adequate control and he needs to upgrade his controller asthma medications. Personally I would suggest adding montelukast for asthma control which works better in this type of symptoms.I would also suggest him to take an inhaler like salbutamol or levosalbutamol 20 minutes before starting exercise/playing. Or he can take a tablet montelukast 30 minutes before exercise/play. Also, have a slow warm-up like walking/jogging for 5-10 minutes around half-an-hour before scheduled play will also reduce his symptoms. Hope this will make things clear to you and will be helpful.Wish your son the best of the health.Regards. | |

Q. Is it possible to get circumcision done under local anesthesia?
Hello doctor,My urologists have recommended circumcision to improve my symptoms and to be able to look inside the urethra, etc., and wants to perform the procedure under general anesthesia. Can this also be done under local or epidural instead, as I am having anxiety about the general method? Am I overreacting, maybe to a common method? Currently, I am taking Flomax once a day. | Hi. Regarding the type of anesthesia for circumcision and cystoscopy, it can be done under local anesthesia or spinal or epidural anesthesia or general anesthesia. Local has the following benefits of no risk related to anesthesia. The drawback is some discomfort but usually tolerable in a cooperative patient. Spinal or epidural has the benefit of good analgesia, post-operative pain control for a few hours, reasonable safety. The drawback is may need to stay in the hospital longer to avoid a post-spinal headache. For cardiac patients not so safe. General anesthesia, the benefit is it can be tailored to a short procedure. Relatively safe in cardiac patients. The drawback is higher cost, inherent risk for short neck or asthmatic patients. So anesthesia has to be tailored or individualized after discussion with your doctor. | |
What caused burning sensation in chest and breathlessness after breathing cold air?
When I walk outside and breathe in cold air my chest begins to burn and I get out of breath. I spent several years in ND in the oilfieldand worked in extremely cold conditions butnever had a problem until just before I came home. I do have asthma but it usually only acts up during allergy season. | Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, in my opinion, cold actually triggered your asthma and caused you bronchospasm. This bronchospasm can cause breathlessness, coughing, wheezing etc. If it is severe and also involved trachea than burning central chest pain is also seen. So in my opinion, you are mostly having cold triggered asthma attack. You need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid with antihistamine drug. So consult doctor and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |

What causes stomach pain after diarrhea?
my child has had diarohea and vomiting. he has recovered from it but it has left him with a stomach ache, high temperature and smelly wind. he has seen the GP and Gp checked child stomach and said everything is fine. but my child is still complaining with the same symptoms and it has now been 11 days for him to have the symptoms. Hes not eating well at all the drinking is fine. He is a slim child but now i can see his ribs which concerns me the most now. please advice me in what i should now. | Dear friend,You should get his stool sample examined by a recognised, registered laboratory to rule out amoebic infection or giardiasis. Both these are parasites of the human gut and can cause a chronic problem without there being many loose bowels. Other than that, I would not suggest anything. If you think he is slimmer now than before, you need to give him energy-rich foods as much as he can tolerate them. This would mean sugary stuff and fats/oils. However, a balanced normal diet is a better alternative than concentrating on specific foods. As he recovers, he will gain weight. Do keep his weight AND height record, taking these measurements at least once a fortnight.Dr. Taher | |
Suggest treatment for head injury

Luckily, I was wearing a helmet but my head has been heavy ever since and I'm afraid to fall asleep. I usually sleep without pillow but I'm debating whether I should sleep tonight with one. Also, should i go get CAT scan tomorrow instead of going to work? I am wondering... | Hello and welcome. The accident was unfortunate. You seem to be having minor concussion,it does not exactly warrant a CT scan. Its advisable to wait for 4-5 days. Meanwhile you may consider taking mild pain killer and hot water bag. Avoid mental stress, alcohol, smoking. Take rest and try to sleep well. Eat a soft non spicy diet with plenty of fruits. Keep a watch for any new symptom. You should recover soon with above precautions in a week.Hope i solved the query.Thank You so much.Take care , wish you speedy recovery | |

What could stinging pain in nipples suggest?
I am a 68 year old male for past three months I have a stinging painlike sensation when pushing or squeezing area adjacent to left nipple. My doctor, an internist, told me not to worry about it, but I am still concerned about it. When I take a warm bath and put warm to hot water over it with a wash cloth the problem subsides. The left breast feels firmer than the right breast but it is same size. What could this be? | Hi, Thanks for choosing healthcare magic.

Usually it should subside. If not , then you will have to undergo further investigations for a proper diagnosis . So my advise is dont delay and get a correct treatment at the earliest as your age fits in high risk category patients.Pl. feel free to ask if you have any other doubts. Thanks and take care. | |

My son Nicholas has always done this thing where his hands shake. It did seem to be whenever he was excited about something but I am beginning to feel like it maybe something is wrong. I did speak to his pediatrician about it and he told me not to worry. Of course I am though and mostly because he is now 10 months and still does it. If it were his undeveloped nervous system wouldnt it of subsided by now? It is not his legs or feet or anything else....just his hands. | Hello,If there were no issues during your pregnancy period and during delivery or one month after delivery then there are very less chances to worry about the presence of such tremors or looking for chances of epilepsy. I can understand that some time it is difficult. To allay your fears you may consult to a pediatric neurologist. Although, I want to assure you that such tremors are very normal during excitement in an infant. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Flank pain, ultrasound showed hydronephrosis, CT scan shows renal pelvis. How can both ureters be blocked?
I had a CT ( no contrast) as a follow up to an ultrasound to help diagnose flank pain. The ultrasound noted possible bilateral hydronephrosis . I have no blood in my urine and urinalysis did not not show infection etc. The CT showed bilateral prominent renal pelvis but no kidney stones . Liver spleen etc are all normal.Currently, the back pain in the kidney area is worsening. I am going back for ANOTHER CT on Thursday, this time with contrast. Q:How on earth can both ureters be blocked/kinked ? I can understand one but both? Q: If not the ureters, what else could cause kidney pain ( aching more like) on both side with dilation of the renal pevlis ( bilateral) ? | Hi Thanks for your quey both the ureters can be blocked only when there is a pathology at their junctional point like in the bladder or urethra or prostate in male. If there is a bladder tumor or urethral stricture or benign hypertrophy of prostate they can lead to bilateral hydronephrosis and bilateral changes. Kidney pain may be caused by renal stone itself even in the absence of urteral patholgy. Renal cell carcinoma may also cause pain. Bilateral hydronephrosis on few occassions may cause pain. Please do consult a urologist and go for cystoscopy or ascending cysto-urethrogram for better delineation of the pathology causing bilateral hydronephrosis. Thank you. | |

The result of the test is as follows:Toxo Plasma-IgM: 4.30, Rubella IgM: 11.80, CMV IgM: 5.80, HSV 1 and 2 IgM: 0.58;Toxo Plasma-IgG: 3.60 iu/ml, Rubella IgG: 139 iu/ml, CMV IgG: 104 iu/ml, HSV 1 and 2 IgG: 10.20.Is everything alright or is there any matter of concern? | Hello. I have gone through your wife's TORCH (toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, and HIV) test reports. There are two types of antibodies that were investigated, IgG and IgM to exclude infection. The result could be positive or negative, it depends on the finding of IgG and IgM. A positive test result means IgG and IgM antibodies are found in one or more infections covered in screening. IgM antibodies represent that there is a current or recent infection. You can have repeat testing to confirm it again from another authentic lab. The presence of IgG indicates a past infection or vaccinated previously. Reinvestigation after two weeks of the test is better to confirm it and again to compare antibodies as well. In the meantime, inform your results to the treating consultant immediately. If the newborn tests positive for IgM antibodies, current infection is the most likely cause. If both IgG and IgM are found in the newborn, it is probably antibodies from the mother transferred to the baby. In short, she is having an infection, and that can harm the baby as well. Baby can have multiple congenital anomalies like congenital rubella and CMV (cytomegalovirus) syndrome, sensorineural defects, blindness, hearing loss, premature delivery, growth restriction, neonatal herpes, microcephaly, intracranial calcification, rash, conjunctivitis, thrombocytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, etc. A detailed anomaly scan is needed urgently. If the mother gets an infection in the early trimester, diagnosed as well with active infection few consultants give an option of termination as well after describing risks of having congenital anomalies due to active infection. Immediately inform to treating consultant about the positive report, have a detailed fetal anomaly scan and discuss with your obstetrician regarding the fetal outcome. Discussion regarding fetal anomalies could be heart touching. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> | |

What could a hard lump in groin area of a child indicate?
I noticed a lump in my 4 yr old son's groin area today as he was getting dressed. It does not hurt and is only on the right side. You can definitely feel its hard and different than the other side. The shape is more like enlarged veins than a lump but it's not purple like varicose veins | Hi.Most probably this is an inguinal enlarged lymph node due to an infection in the drainage area, not to bother if not painful. Get a Consultation of a Surgeon and get a treatment . Varicose veins do not appear in children and do not need Vascular Surgery. | |

I ache day and night having to take sleeping medicine because of pain.I ve been on so many pain medicines,what can I do??? | Hi, thank you for posting!I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.According to your symptoms, in order to treat your chronic pain, you need to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (only when the pain is severe), accompanied by Lyrica (pregabalin).

Suggest ways to overcome stress due to germaphobia
i got an injection of pcn tuesday evening for strep throat, today one of the puss pockets may be slightly better, it looks if just my right tonsil is infected, which i'm sure i infected about 3 weeks ago trying to get "packed" food out of my right tonsil with my fingernail, i noticed pain the next day had some augmentin left over(a no-no) from a previous sinus infection took about 4, pain went away, then on tuesday, puss pockets back and a fever. I called the walk in clinic, they are calling me in keflex. I'm a germaphobe, and i'm stressing that i have a resistant strain of strep?????!!!! | Dear User,Thanks for using health care magic.You are right in fearing that it may be resistant Streptococcus. The first thing you need to do is ask for culture and sensitivity of infected material. The report of sensitivity will tell you the antibiotics which are effective for your infection problem. Other than this take care of oral hygiene so there are less chance of infection in future.'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".Thanks | |
Eye shifting, taking Clonopin, taken Meth, not sleeping or eating. What is causing this?
I have a problem where when I m doing certain activities - any activity - I begin to all of a sudden associate my actions with negative adjectives about people. This developed into a problem where I begin to think that when I shift my eyes I m killing all the people in the whole world. I know this sounds crazy, but I think the original problem developed in response to stress. EXTREME STRESS. It went away for about 4-7 months after it developed, but when it came back I had one episode that was really bad. (the eye shifting). I also noticed that approximately 1-1.5 mg of clonopin would make it stop, but I went on a meth binge for about a month and a half and the clonopin didn t relieve it - at least, it took a very high dose to get some relief (it may have gone away completely). As in, 2-5 mg. I wasn t sleeping or eating very much in general either. (I m sober by the way.) What could be causing this? Is it common? (not the specifics, but say, when you re typing that you begin associating keystrokes with the phrase your car is stupid . I think that when I m pressing the key I m actually communicating that to the person. I want some information: in 2006, I had a cocaine induced seizure . I want to know the exact dose range, in g per pound of body weight , that could induce a seizure causing disorientation upon awaking, (with a good prognosis from the ER and a CAT scan showing impairment to the tune of the a 40 year old alcoholic). Approximately 30-40 minutes after the seizure I had blood pressure of 176/104 and a heart rate of 150. I may have been taking some kind of antidepressant , had been abusing cocaine daily for about three weeks and a few weeks before that (with a short break). | Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query. Your symptoms could be indicative of a psychotic disorder. Your psychiatric problems seem to be compounded by your drug abuse and medication abuse and the dosages of Clonopin which you are 'abusing' are definitely dangerous. Please stop self-medicating yourself and seek professional help. I would advise you consult a psychiatrist for a detailed psychological assessment and further treatment. There are effective treatment options - in the form of medication or counselling / psychotherapy which will help you overcome your problems. Wish you all the best. - Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar Consultant Psychiatrist | |
Can chronic lower back pain continuing for almost a year indicate sciatica?
Hi I have been experiencing chronic lower back pain that shoots down my right leg. Severe pain in right hip and knee and swollen veins at times. This is approximately 1 year now my doctors can t find what is wrong. did MRI and they can t determine the cause.

MRI report saying disc protrusion and annular disc bulge. Surgery needed?
Hi. i had an M>R>I> done anit says atc6-7 there is a focal right paracentral/lateral disc proyrusion with disc materail extending back by approx.3mm to contact the ventral aspect of the cord right of midline an encroach upon right of the foramen.it appears to be superimposed on a diffuse annular disc bulge ap diameter of canal approx 8 mm .I have had 2 diffusions already on 4-5 an5-6 I know i am looking at surgery go to neuorosurgeon tueday. Is there anything i need to be cautios about until surgery? | Hello Anit,Hope, it is your name.My advise as a Homoeopath is not to go for any surgery. There is no guarantee that you will be more comfortable after the surgery on our spine. At least take some time to think very seriously before undergoing surgery. It is a wrong notion that your problem is because of the mechanical alterations in your spine and spinal cord. It can be the other way. You had some problems earlier and that is why your disc material protruded and made compression on nerves. Your two times diffusion was only a mechanical correction. As a Homoeopath, I would suggest you to approach an expert Homoepath and get his treatment. Most probably you had a very shocking conflict before the attack of back ache and this was repeated in subsequent episodes. They are not resolved. Physical expression is only a subsequent manifestation following the mental problem. Resolve the problems in the mental level by a good counselling and take homoeopathic treatment from a good Homoeopath. From my experience of 35 years of Homoeopathic treatment in a classical manner, I can assure you that it is the mental causes that produce this sort of disc problems and they can be corrected through Homoeopathic treatment after taking into consideration, the mental, physical and general make ups of the patient. With best wishes for a speedy recovery through Homoeopathy and of course without a surgery,Dr,\. C. J. VargheseHomoeopath | |
Suggest remedy for cleft uvula
my sisters son has cleft uvula, he got it in birth. and now he is 1 year old and 11 kgs weight. doctors told that he can go under knife at this moment. and the doctors told that its just joining the two ends. I just confused .,,, can you please help me by explaining the complications(if any), and how can that little boy do with that?? | HI...Cleft palate only needs t be surgically corrected. If it is cleft uvula and it is not creating any problems for the kid then it need not be surgically corrected. Bifid uvula is also very common and is a normal variant.But if the cleft uvula is extending on to cleft soft palate then it need to be surgically corrected.Regards - Dr. Sumanth | |
What are the symptoms and treatment for endometrial cancer?
hi, I have black vaginal discharge. I was told by my doctor is was endometrial cancer , went to have a biopsy .They said they found a benign polyp and everything else was ok. But they didn t test my uterus. I would think they would have tested my uterus also. can you give me any information? | Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.If you have benign polyp only then excision is the treatment of choice. No further treatment is required. If you also have endometrial cancer then further treatment is needed. It depends on type and stage of cancer. Hysterectomy is the treatment of choice with or without chemotherapy. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.Thanks for using health care magic.Wish you a very good health. | |
What causes abdominal pain?
my lower right stomach is hurting. when i walk, move, poke it, or inhale a deep breath. it hurts when i poke it but feels better when i relise it... ive been quite gassy today as well. I dont have a loss of appatite and have not vomited... no fever, just sharp pains sometimes and they get better and worse. it has been happening when I woke up this morning. the more i move the worse it hurts... AHHH!!! what is wrong with me? | HI.Thanks for your query and an elucidate history:: I have read your history and understood the problem.The probable causes of such pains as you have described can be due to the following reasons ::-Hernia with stretched muscles as you do not have intestinal symptoms.-Typhlitis, meaning inflammation of cecum.-Rare chance of a mass in the right lower abdomen or appendicitis . I would advise you the following:Investigations:*Routine blood investigations like Complete blood picture, blood sugar, urea, creatinine, liver function tests, thyroid function tests.*Urine -routine and microscopy*Stool: routine, microscopy, occult blood, culture and sensitivity.*Ultrasonography of abdomen,*Colonoscopy This is imperative as the mildest of the symptoms can have hidden big problems. So do not take this lightly | |

The most recent one that I am facing now is severely uncomfortable but on the back behind my tonsils on the wall of my throat I have yellowish raised lumps that are swollen amd very harsh. Could this be Cancer? | From the description you have given it seems to be of infectious etiology. However if it persists despite antibiotic treatment, it may warrant a biopsy. | |
How to treat a painful lump under the right arm?
hi i have a lump under my right arm that i can grab with 2 fingers around it i have had pins and needles in my arm and hands have had it about a month now but today have noticed lump has increased in size is painful armpit aches. should i go see a doctor? | Hello and welcome to HCM, Lump under the arm associated with pins and needle sensation in the arm and hands suggests nerve related disorder. Pins and needles sensation is can be due to compression of the nerve supplying the arm and hands or the lump can be arising from the nerve itself. Thus, I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment of the lump. You may need to consult an orthopedician to assess the nerve supply of the upper limb. Thanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal | |
Suggest treatment for numbness in arms, heart burn and tightness in chest
For the past couple days, I have been experiencing tingling/numbness in both arms to my finger tips, heartburn/tightness(in my throat area-that s where I get my heartburn is),tightness in my chest with an uncomfortable squeeze feeling that radiates to my back. Antacid doesn t help nor does milk. | Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your situation and problem. We should first rule out cardiac cause for your symptoms because heart diseases often present with similar symptoms. So get done ecg and 2d echo. If both are normal, than possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more. Stress causes laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. And because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of chest tightness, pain etc. So start proton pump inhibitors. Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Avoid hot and spicy food. Drink plenty of fluids orally. Don't worry, you will be alright. Milk is useful, so you can drink cold milk. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |

Q. Recurrent swelling in voice box prevents me from singing. Please help.
Hello doctor, I had voice box swelling before two months. I had taken medicines for around 10 days, it subsided and my voice was getting better. But at the beginning of this month, it started again. I could not visit any doctor due to the lockdown. I tried to rest my voice and did continuous steaming. But it is impossible to not talk because I have a day job that involves talking to clients. I am unable to sing now. I do not know up to what extent my voice is damaged? | Hi. First and foremost, acute inflammation of the vocal cords what we call acute laryngitis requires proper precautionary measures for a certain amount of time with proper treatment failing of which the problems will recur again after a short span of relief. My advice to you would be to give an absolute voice rest for the next 10 to 14 days. Now absolute voice rest means you should not even be saying yes/no during the day. If your work involves the use of your voice I advise you to take complete off from your job for the next 10 to 14 days. The vocal cords require time to heal completely and this takes usually 10 to 14 days. Your voice might return to normal in five to six days, however, there is always a hidden inflammation in your vocal cords which can resurface if measures are not followed adequately. Treatment: 1. If you are having gastric issues, consider taking tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg once a day for 15 days. 2. Tablet Wysolone (Prednisolone) 20 mg once a day after breakfast for two days followed by 10 mg for two days and finally followed by 5 mg for the next two days. This is a steroid tablet and is effective in reducing inflammation in the vocal cords, but the above preventive measures should be taken if you want your voice back. | |
Suggest treatment for high BP and rapid heart rate
hello there i am due my baby 3 week tomorrow, for the past 2 days i have been feeling a bit sick, were i bork a fair bit, but tonight i was just sat there and i noticed little dots when i looked around the room, i have came home and done my blood pressure and it is 150/61 and pulse rate is 110, i am not sure if this is because i have been rushing before coming to bed ? | Hello, I would explain that these high blood pressure and heart rate values could be related to the physical activity. Anxiety may mimic this clinical situation too. For this reason, I would recommend you to closely monitor your heart rate and blood pressure values in the next days, frequently during the day, in sitting position, after 10 minutes of total relax. If your blood pressure values are above the normal ranges (125/85mm Hg) most of the time, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some blood lab tests in order to investigate for the possible causes. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist | |
Suggest treatment for blood clot in calf
My left lower leg, just under my calf started out really tight and the tightness stayed for a week. Then it started to hurt, now it hurts so bad and my calf is tight. It hurts to stand and sit with my leg on the floor. When I walk the calf tightens making it hard to walk. I walk with a limp.

What can I do being pregnant. The doctor said to put heat on it and elevate it. Nothing seems to be improving after 3-4 days! | Hello,It is necessary taking blood thinners, considering the presence of a blood clot. From the other hand, it is necessary holding compression socks and try to have some rest. I would also recommend checking coagulation tests in order to find the possible cause underlying the blood clot. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist | |

Q. Can Yasmin birth control pill be used as an emergency contraceptive pill?
Hello doctor, My fiancee and I had unprotected sex a few days back, but I did not ejaculate inside her. Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage? | Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best. For further queries consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> | |

Suggest cure for pain in hip due to falling down
almost 10 days ago I fell on my hip. The pain hasn t let up at all, I can walk, with a limp. too much time on my feet and sitting really hurt bad on the side and bottom of my left hip. I just finished 38 treatments of radiation for prostate cancer about 7 months ago and had nerves burned in my lower spine only a few days before the fall. any advice? | A hip fracture can occur and someone can still walk on it. This is far more likely with age and cancer. so, an x ray and evaluation is recommended for someone whose hip pain stays more than a few hours after a fall. Can be a bruised muscle other structure outside of the joint (warm soaks best) or something broken internally. Unfortunately on the hip it isn't that guaranteed you can tell which spot the pain is from. Most other spots you can tell inside from outside but not hip. | |

The use of anti inflammatory pain killers such as ibuprofen/naproxen/cataflam.Allergies with post nasal drip is a common cause of persistent cough but if you are a long term smoker and the cough is persistent any lesions in the lung would have to be ruled out with imaging.I hope this helps | |
