my 3 yr old daughter had just gotten out of bathtub--everything on outside of bathtub very wet and slippery--she had climbed onto counter where sink was then slipped and hit the clothes hamper then toilet then to the ground--we rushed in and she was bleeding bad from vagina area--she would not let me see real good but it looked like the cut was made at top of the vulva closer to the pubic bone. i put a diaper on her for bleeding then put her to bed. now, 12 hours later--no urine??? im worried that she may have damaged something. should i take her into the doctor office?? | Hi my dear, please do take her immediately. She has injured herself without even clothes for protection and the bleeding may have stopped, but there may be a swelling formed of blood called hematoma. The urine passage is very close to the vagina opening in child Chat Doctor. Likely that the swelling is obstructing the urine flow...the doctor will very gently examine her, ask for a X-ray, and an ultrasound of that pelvic area to decide if there is blood collection under the skin or inside .and the decide management. Please give her some medication for pain like paracetamol |
A friend of mine was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He seems to get aggressive when provoked, and at times goes into blackouts (he took the end of a pew ledge out of place during a meeting, then went into a blackout)t Is this part of the disease?

I have already taken Acimiz Plus (Paracetomal 500 mg and Aceclofenac 100 mg) and Elthrocin -500 (erythromycin). I am breast feeding 5 months old baby. I just realize that I should consult with doctor. But I have already taken it 5 hours ago and feeded baby 2-3 times since than. | Hello! I read your query and I understand your problem! It is wonderful that you breastfeed your baby, but you should be very careful with the medicament you take during this time because some of them could pass to your breast milk, and then to the baby and could harm the baby. Paracetamol is rather safe to be taken but diclofenac is contraindicated during lactation, and therefore you should stop taking Acetic Plus. Regarding erythromycin, it is safe to use during lactation. However, it is always wise to consult with your doctor and update him about the doses. I hope I responded to your concern! Best regards! |
I have been on microgynon 30, I have started my 7 day break. I went to the doctors yesterday and was given rigevidon. I was told they are the exact same pill. But I looked at the information leaflet for the Rigevidon, and it says when starting a new pill you must carry on the pill and not have a 7 day break, but i am already on the break. Will this effect me? And could i be at risk of being pregnant? | Hi. Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor. Both Microgynon and Evidon contain 21 active tablets of 30 micro GMS of Ethanol Estradiol and 150 micro grams of Levonorgestrel respectively. A 7-day free period is allowed for the menstrual cycle. All the OCS when you start them for the first time, if you are not under the protection of any other OCP on the previous cycle, should be started on the first day of the menstrual cycle but not otherwise. Since you are already on Microgynon and this 7 day gap is the routine gap left for mensuration, you need not worry. As you do every month you can start Evidon on the usual 8th day after the last pill of Microgynon. I hope this is useful. |

It dint help much, so dr asked to add Stressnil 0.5 mg in addition to that. I was given a drug called Haloperidol when my dr was treating me for chorea, but it led to difficulty in swallowing ( dysphagia ) due to the effect of which I lost my ability to even swallow my own saliva for over 3.5 days and gradually my swallow reflex has returned back. Every day they gave me phenergan and in 3.5 days i felt better.Today I felt a mild numbness in my left thumb and my dr has asked me to stop Lonazep 0.5 and instead take Tab Stalopam 10 mg once daily at 8 pm. My question is | Hello Mr.faith Chorea, ataxia and myoclonus may occur in severe vitamin-B12 deficiency. Haloperidol is given to treat these symptoms. In a number of persons who are started on haloperidol, Dystonia of muscles observed, dystonia of muscles of throat caused Dysphagia in you. So haloperidol was stopped.

If that is the case it needs longer and complex treatment stroller pain medicine doctors.Also, an X-ray of the foot would clarify the status of hardware (plate, screw, pins) position in the bone, in case of migration or failure of metal hardware.

My question is, could this be related to colon cancer? Or does it sound like it might be? | Hello! Thank you for the query.

Possibility of bronchitis is more in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

Hi,doctor! Im Evelyn,44 years old,5 1 in height and weighing 56 kg. Two years ago,I was diagnosed of a left kidney cyst, 1.6cm..my doctor didn t prescribe any medicine for me because he said the cyst is benign, but I was advised to have urinalysis every 3 months and an ultrasound after a year..It so happened that I am only earning less than what my familiy needs, a hand-to-mouth-existence, I was not able to have my doctors advice..It is already more than two years without any medication and follow ups..And now, I have been suffering from beriberi, more than a week, can be seen on my legs and sometimes on my arms till my face..not so transparent anyways but, I can feel the heaviness of my body.. Actually, I ve been from this situation( on and off - for 3-5 days ) within these years (2009-2011) but I just ignored it. This is just because of poverty. At present, I am drinking RAW APPLE CIDER VINEGAR with honey bee 3 times a day, cranberry juice, coconut juice, 2-2.5 litres of water and eating green vegetables daily.. WITH THIS SIMPLE MEDICATION, I DO NOT KNOW IF MY ILLNESS WILL TOTALLY BE CURED. Please doctor, I need your help and advice. Thank you very much and more power! | Hello Evelyn;welcome to Chat Doctor Your doctor did the right thing when he advised you to just keep a watch on urinalysis because most of the benign cyst settle on their own and only few require treatment in any form. As for the beriberi it is a disease whicChatDoctores on as an effect of deficiency of Vitamin B1 and can be easily treated with vitamin supplements if diagnosed early. The vitamin capsules or tablets are not very costly, so you can buy it. I do not know much about raw apple cider vinegar, but cranberry juice is good for urinary tract problems and even coconut juice. Presently you can get examined in a government run/charitable hospital to find out if you really have beriberi or not and get a simple multivitamin prescribed like Erosion/Becomes/etc. Thanks |
My friend was consistently severely sexually abused as a child and through her teenage years. She was used as a child sex slave. Also sadly, her psychiatrist also sexually abused her. Fortunately now 47 she has found the courage for psychotherapy. She is beginning to release her anger, emotional pain, and the mistrust of women. The doc was a woman who abused her. She has been masturbating excessively and she cant stop. She said she never experienced anything like that before. Why is she masturbating so much as she is facing her the hurt the doctor inflicted on her? | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Sex addiction in a sense is not an addiction at all. Sex in itself is a natural process and excess may cause momentary physical weakness. Mental disorders such as anxiety is due to over thinking / over worrying about the habit. A habit is a habit, and masturbation is just that. She is already 47. Psychotherapy has answers to this problem too. Work with your psychotherapist. If you need more of my help in this regard, Please post a direct question to me on this port with every possible details. I shall provide you with Cognitive Behavior Therapy steps which should clear the problems. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. |
I am having severe knee pain. Knee cap area more on inner leftside side and down slightly, Very sensitive to touch, slightly swollen, concentrated in an area a little smaller than the size of a tennis ball. It ached, throbs, hard to walk, bend, sleep. I tried ice, aspirin, ibumotrin I am miserable. I do not remember injury, it came on over a week or so, rest helps a little and if I walk stiff legged it does not hurt as strongly. What is this, what causes this, what should I do | Hello, I have studied your case and I think that this can be either an infection or knee synovitis. In this condition I would suggest you to visit an orthopedic doctor and get your clinical evaluation. If there is any infection then you need to take antibiotics for it. If there is synovitis then it is better that you take steroid injection in the knee. Avoid squatting, sitting cross leg and stairs climbing. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks |
I am taking some vitamin supplement containing omega 3 fatty acid but after one month of taking this group I have tested L.F.T due to abdominal pain and dyspepsia and noted that increased SGPT (72) level otherwise within range. Is there any relation ? I have also some fatty infiltration in lever( previous findings) what are the adverse reactions of raised SGPT level ? Thank you | Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor Increased liver enzymes such as SGPT are used to identify and monitor the progress of any liver disease but the enzymes themselves are not dangerous. They are an indicator. Fatty liver disease can cause an increase in liver enzymes. This can progress to inflammation of the liver and, in some persons, severe liver impairment. To prevent the progression of fatty liver or to reverse any changes, you would need to change your diet, increase activity and may also require medications such as statins (used for high cholesterol). In terms of your diet, you would need to reduce the use of sodas and reduce your carboy Chat Doctor. A high carboy |

hi I am mayank, I need to discuss about my dad.. Actually my mother passed away just a few ago in February. and because of that my father is depressed very much. and one more problem is that my dad is almost addicted towards drinking. this addiction is since when he was age 25 I guess. And now because of this my mothers incident he has become more depressed and stressed. We had also consult to neurologist he told us to take guidance of psychiatrist we consulted him too and he gave us these medicines PARI 20mg and RELICALM CD. I dont know what to do. please do suggest something.... | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you are very concerned and worried about your dad. From the description of his symptoms, it appears that he is going through a depressive phase. He also seems to be having an alcohol dependence. Regarding the medication that you have mentioned - Part (Paroxetine) is an anti-depressant and Helical (Trifluoperazine) is an anti-psychotic medication. Now, I'm not sure whether he had any psychotic symptoms in addition to his depression for which he needed an antipsychotic. You have to clarify this with his doctor. Also, if he is continuing to take excessive alcohol, this is only going to make his problems worse. So, if he is unable to stop his Chat Doctor. Wish you all the best. |
Hi im new to this. I have anxiety/panic attacks. I have been having aches all over my body but mostly on my arms. I also sometimes have chest pain but I think its heartburn . I went to the hospital like last year in octuber for this problem and it turned out to be just anxiety that was causing the chest pains the doctor at the hospital said. Today after I ate my arms started hurting. Ive had this for a long time now but its getting annoying. My arms hurt and sometimes my neck and my stomach . Im 18 and Im a little overweight . What can this be? Thx for answering | Hi Daniel, Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thanks for asking a query. You are aware that you have anxiety/panic attacks. Last year, when you went to the hospital for chest pains, the doctor suggested that it was anxiety. I hope that you have been getting treatment for anxiety. Unresolved and untreated anxiety will get worse. It can cause physical symptoms, too. Chest pains are one kind of physical symptom. Muscle aches and pains are another. This happens because the muscles get tight due to anxiety and begin to ache. Most common aches are in the lower neck, between the shoulder blades, and legs. Sometimes the pain seems to be coming from deep inside the bones. I would strongly suggest meeting a psychiatrist for a full mental health assessment and planning treatment. All the best, Chat Doctor. |

I have a twitch in my fingers whicChatDoctores and goes. I am on anti-psychotic meds, anti-depressants and obviously insulin. I also have asthma. I am very worried and feel very ill generally. | Thank you users for your query. First kindly mention the dosage of antidepressant. Get your blood sugar(fasting and post radial) checked. If it is raised then you need to increase the dose of insulin else if its level is low then you need to decrease the dosage of insulin. Start taking multivitamin as they might increase your vitality. Exercise 30 minutes daily for 5 days. Work up on your diet and make sure that you are on low fatty diet. Can have baked fish. Think this can help you a lot. Do consult your psychiatrist for the antidepressant treatment. God Bless |

ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME? | Hello, Ok, I have non-functional opiate receptors. The conventional textbook information on fibromyalgia as non-functional opiate receptors works fine for me. Then again, the data imply that most people with fibromyalgia are depressed and trying a different anti-depressant is often needed for depression. So, Lisinopril isn't necessarily effective and can both not work and lower the blood pressure too much. https |
I am 39 yr old female, have been working out regularly for nearly a year. Thus far, had successfully used treadmill and elliptical. However, today, after working with a personal trainer for the first time. I got extremely dizzy and everything literally went white and I couldnt hear much of what the trainer said for at least 15 min. I had to sit down immediately and thought I was going to black out. I was quite concerned as this has never happened before. My breathing was fine however, no wheezing, shortness of breath. Any ideas??? I am 5,5- 136lbs. Born with a heart murmur, otherwise no known heart concerns, issues. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. The way you have described that episode, possibility of transient ischemic attack (TIA) is more likely. Another possibility is cardiac event (you are already having heart murmur). So better to consult doctor and get done ECG, 2d echo, stress test and MRI brain. If all these are normal then no need to worry much. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

I had a panniculectomy and lipo about 3 years ago and unfortunately gained back all the weight I had lost and then some ( I am prob around 270lbs - 59) I have recently begun watching what I eat, exercise and then over compensating with some bulimic behavior and have begun to feel pain in my lower abdomen. I know it sounds stupid but it feels like because that skin is so stretched and stitched up, its almost like ripping from the inside. I feel this discomfort whenever i am standing or tighten my stomach. Do I need to get attention? Will this just be painful until I lose back all the weight? There is no discoloration and all looks normal. The discomfort started about 2 days ago and has gotten worse. | Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. History of Panniculectomy, lip, regaining weight, exercises, bulimic behavior and now pain in abdomen over the last 2 days in the lower abdomen noted. The probable cause can be intestinal infection / appendicitis/ colitis and so on, I would advise you a 5-day course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and supportive medicines. If there is no effect, you may need further investigations like ultrasonography, colonoscopy and related investigations of the blood, urine and stool for further diagnosis and treatment. |
I ve had dizziness/vertigo for some time now...also degenerative joint disease primary in knees....over the past year i ve been loosing my balance and the power in my legs to keep me upright..in the past week has become a daily thing...any idea how i explain this to my doc? | Hi, Degenerative joint disease is due to wear and tear of joints as the age increases, vertigo has no relation with your knee pain, there are many causes of vertigo like high blood pressure, diabetes, ear problem, compression of nerves in the neck. The joint which suffers a lot of wear and tear due to aging needs to be replaced for complete pain relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

He and i think hes feeling much better and wants to return to his activities.Who is my son anemic. He is eating fine now. | Unfortunately, there is no good treatment for mono. We management mono with rest and HY Chat Doctor. Symptoms usually resolve in 1-2 weeks though fatigue may last many months. The biggest concern for mono is splenic rupture and splenic enlargement which is usually not clinically apparent. The spleen is a delicate organ that is prone to rupture, especially when enlarged. Therefore, it is recommended to not return to physical activity for 6-12 months. Also, he is still anemic. Normal hemoglobin for his age should be above 13.8. |

Hi.i am male 25 years old.i am a student.i am always absent minded,could not able to concentrate and i cant remember and recall things and while writing a question paper i have to concentrate for 3 hours and after 3 hours there is dizzy vision and i cant see properly.for this i feel that it is because of excessive masturbation because i masturbate 3 to 4 times in a day and this i am doing from last 6 to 7 years.and i read on internet that excessive masturbation results in dizzy vision and absent mindness and its because while ejuclation we loses cetain harmones or elements from brain and that causes absent mindness and dizzy vision.please advice me how can i recover from absent mindeness and dizzy vision.Thank you. | Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Masturbation has nothing to do with your symptoms. I think you are having mild form of depression or stress. You should rule out physical causes like hypoglycemia, thyroid disturbances or vitamin deficiencies. You may have prescription by your local doctor for the same. If you feel stress or performance anxiety, you should go for stress management and relaxation techniques like yoga or breathing exercise. Do masturbation only when sexually excited and not as a part of habit. Thanks. |
Hi one of my teeth in the back fell out afew weeks ago but it has being causing me problem s for the last few days the gum exposed is quite soar now my left cheek is quite tense and feels swollen its on the side were my gum is exposed what can i do to stop this | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The exposed or swollen gums can be secondary to chronic irritation by the broken tooth. The roots of the tooth can be present below the gums, that is causing irritation to the overlying gums. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Then get the tooth removed. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic)I hope my answer will help you, take care. |
Hello, my daughter has achondroplasia she was born preterm at 28 weeks she is now in scabu , a v.p shunt was done for her. The problem is that is still on mechanical ventilator and suffers sudden episodes of desaturation. She has already copleted two months. Please tell me when she will be able to breath alone?? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Honestly speaking, her prognosis is very poor. I don't think she will be able to breath without the support of ventilators. You said that she is on mechanical ventilator for 2 months. 2 months is very long duration for ventilation. And prognosis worsens with increase in number of days of ventilation. So she is now ventilator dependent and not taking her breaths by her own. I don't think she will recover from this, so not giving you false hopes. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks. |

I donated blood Friday and later that night I went to a rave and I drank alcohol and got pretty buzzed later at the rave I noticed a bump had developed where they inserted the needle to withdraw blood from me and this bump has hurt and caused sharp pains well it Burns occasionally and when you touch it it feels hard can you tell me what s wrong with my arm? | Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor, It is good that you donated blood, for taking blood from vein a large bore needle is used hence after completion of donation process a firm pressure is required for sufficient time to close the vein puncture. It is possible some blood has leaked from the site and deposited in subcutaneous space and inflammatory reaction has developed to cause pain called Thrombophlabitis. This not a serious issue you can apply ice fomentation to get relief and if there is coloration around it there are gels available of heparin can be used locally to expedite recovery. You will recover with this problem in few days do not worry at all. Hope this helps. Take care. Good Luck. |

The peeling skin does not pain unless i do not musterbate because if i do so the skin peels off and i feel that pain on that peeled part as i wash my self. please advice | Hello really appreciate your concerns can be caused by number of reasons like Chat Doctor. Masturbation may be contributory factor in it. If you can provide me more details like medical history like if you are having diabetes or liver diseaseSimilar complaints in the past, I will be able to guide you better. If I were your treating doctor, I would have advised you to keep it clean and apply antiseptic ointment if it doesn't improve or worsens than I would have ordered few investigations like blood for hemoglobin, CBC Liver and kidney function test, blood sugar and urine culture or an ultrasound if need be. You may require a course of anti-allergic or antibiotics |
hi sir... ahm i masturbate almost 3-4 times a week... i wonder if 1 of the bad effects of masturbation is that, ahm a stomach pain especially during the release of toxic subs using penis.. i feel like my lower stomach is being pushed forcely with a stick.. what was that pain..?? where does it came from.? | Greetings masturbation is a healthy way of satisfying your sexual desires and doesn't have any side effects. You can do daily or alternate days. You will be enjoying better if you do on alternate days rather than daily. Semen is produced daily in our body and masturbation will not affect your health or fertility. One precaution is never hurry to discharge, delay ejaculation always by at least 5 to 10 min. There are so many myths about masturbation in internet. You need to rule out any infection and causing pain. Hope my answer helps you. Regards |
Every spring, I get a rash on the backs of my knees which is hot, bumpy, its red and very itchy. There is no over the counter medicine that has ever helped me, so for years, I just suffer through the 2-3 months that I have it. Sometimes the area gets dry. I have been having this happen since I was 6 years old, and I am 34 now. If I was never able to count on anything else, I can always expect this rash to come back like the terminator. | Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rash on knees which seems to be due to allergic reaction/contact dermatitis as you get these symptoms on exposure to allergen. Need not worry. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and Chat Doctor. You should avoid touching or pricking rashes. You should consult dermatologist for proper examination and go for blood test, allergic patch test and start treatment accordingly. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants, along with benzoyl peroxide ointment. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes, |

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.

It can occur due to many reasons like diabetes, vitamin deficiency, vasculitic, toxin, Chat Doctor. You need a proper evaluation and investigation. You need to consult a neurologist. Some investigation like nerve conduction study, blood investigation and if needed nerve biopsy may be done. As for treatment, in many cases symptoms improve and recovery occurs, but prognosis depends upon cause. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. |

I fell in the subway and hit the train and received a very severe blow to my head and also a very deep cut with deep stitches that will dissolve and 11 topical stitches two days ago. CT was clear and I was released same day from ER. After two days the large hematoma on my forehead has turned into dark red covering my eyes and sides of nose. My question is about flying. I am on vacation in NYC and I am scheduled to fly home to TX in 4 days. I don t know if it would be a problem to fly with this blood pooling around my eyes and nose. And also concerned about how flying would affect the stitches. Please advise whether I should fly or not. Thank you. | Hi, Sorry to hear you had an accident. Thank God the accident never caused any brain damages as revealed by the CT. As for the hematoma, it will resort progressively and may not pose any problem. Flying back home in four days will not as well pose any problem as people with more severe brain injuries can always be transported via flight when need be. All you need now is Chat Doctor. Hope this will help. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wish you speedy recovery. |
my mother had a brain biopsy and her left side is paralysed, she is also unable to speak. How long does it take for recovery. Will she be able to speak ? She wants to say something but there is only air coming out no words. How do we make her comfortable ? She is still in ICU | I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern. It is difficult to give an answer because we don't know the cause of her hemiparesis. The brain biopsy is taken precisely for that to help determine the cause of the brain damage, without knowing the cause one cant determine whether it's a process which can be stopped and hopefully will recover with physiotherapy or a progressing issue like cancer which could continue to grow further and worsen her condition. When you get the biopsy result and the diagnosis and possibly the CT or MRI report evaluating how big the damage is feel free to write again with that info so that me or my colleagues can give a more precise answer. I hope things work out for the best. |
Hello. I am a 15 year old male, and I had three of my teeth removed yesterday morning. At one of the extraction sites, there is loose skin. It keeps getting in the way of my tongue. I rinsed my mouth yesterday night, and some pieces of the loose skin fell out of my mouth. However, I do not know what to do with the rest of the loose skin. It is very irritating. Should I pull it out gently, or wait for it to come out by itself? Or is there anything else I should do? | Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have undergone extraction of tooth now, you feel loose skin don't worry it is a unhealed socket. Take proper course of antibiotics prescribed by your dentist, and wait for 15 days at least for healing of socket. Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. After one week of you won't get relief then go and consult your dentist for oral examination. Hope this will help you. |

Hi I ve been having the following problem since I was 18 (I m currently 29). This is a little long, sorry.Maybe once or twice a month sometimes even more rarely I would suddenly without much of any warning feel an intense feeling of impending doom. Very pronounced, an extreme sensation like I was about to die, and thoughts of impending doom. Difficult to describe the sensation other than that it comes along with an extreme feeling of anxiety. Then within about 2-4 minutes after having this sensation I would pass out. I don t ever remember passing out. My father once saw me when this happened and he said I stand up straight and then slump down to the ground. After I wake up which I think is usually almost immediately or a few minutes after losing consciousness I feel intensely sick, like I m about to die. I have temporary amnesia. I don t know who or what I am or where I am, and I usually can t see for a few minutes. This memory loss goes away in a few minutes as well as my ability to see. The other very apparent symptom is intense and sudden sweating. I m literary drenched with sweat. Also, I feel incredibly weak, slightly nauseous and intensely sick like I am dieing. I can t even get off the floor. Eventually these feeling fade within about 30-40 minutes after which time I feel still very sick but have enough energy to stand up. Then it might take 1-2 hours to feel normal again although sometimes when I have a really bad attack it can take 24 hours before I feel normal again. I ve seen a few doctors for this and one doctor said he thinks it was syncope. The other doctors just ran quite a few tests said their results were normal and never really got back to me. It didn t seem like they really new what was going on. I ve had ecocardiograms done and mri, botChatDoctore back normal. I ended up just living with it for some several years until when I was about 27 one day for no real reason I bought some raw barley that I saw in the supermarket. It was just an impulse buy as I never noticed it before and thought it would be interesting to cook it like rice. I liked it a lot, but that day I became intensely sick maybe several hours after eating it. I had extreme diarrhea, repeated vomiting, and a general feeling of being sick. At the time I thought I had a stomach virus so I thought I would just stay at home and rest, but it kept getting worse and worse so I went to the doctor. The doctor thought I might have a stomach parasite since one of the blood tests indicated elevated eosinophil count but the stool test showed no parasite. She sent me to a hematologist, who ran more blood tests which showed nothing wrong and the eosinophil count dropping down to normal. By that time I was feeling better. That doctor just recommended contacting him again if symptoms return. They didn t for a long time until after several months I decided to finish eating the rest of the barley I had. The same symptoms returned. I haven t asked any doctor about it since but was just assuming that it was some strange allergic reaction. At about that same time I began noticing that I was beginning to feeling slightly itchy whenever I at spicy foods which I ate alot. I decided to stop eating barley and spicy foods and I noticed that my fainting spells stopped. I hadn t eaten spicy foods for a year and I haven t fainted since. About a year ago I decided to try to test it out for sure so I ate spaghetti with spicy tomato sauce and a few days later I had a fainting episode with the same symptoms. I assumed it was an allergic reaction and after having read a bit more I was assuming that all the time I was going into anaphylaxis. The only two symptoms I don t seem to have is swelling of my throat and hands as well as any rash or itching. The itching comes immediately after eating spicy foods and the anaphylaxis maybe a few days or several hours later. My question is the following, is this the likely diagnosis? And is there a simple definitive test to diagnose this? What type of doctor should I see? I ve also noticed a few years ago that I seem to also be allergic to tylenol after never having been before. I had pretty standard allergic reaction symptoms. My lips swelled up, I felt itchy, and difficulty breathing. It lasted for only a few minutes and went away. Since then I have been staying clear of barley, cayenne pepper, and tylenol and it seems to work although I haven t seen a doctor about this allergic reaction guess for my past problems. The reason why I am asking now is because a few days ago I stupidly ate something with cayenne pepper in it and had another fainting spell without having had any problems for a long time. I noticed that the symptoms were the same but extremely intense this time around and a few hours later I noticed that my right eye felt itchy. When I rubbed it slightly I felt a sudden burning sensation that quickly went away. I immediately rushed to the bathroom mirror and noticed that the skin surrounding my eye was pitch black, as if I had a really bad black eye. I don t remember having hit my face as my face didn t feel sore after i fainted. The after affects after the faint lasted all day this time and out of curiosity I took my temperature and it read 95.2 degrees F (oral). Thinking this low I decided to have a hot bath. After sitting in the bath for about a few minutes the nausea suddenly intensified and I spontaneously began to vomit multiple times. For some reason the bath made me really sick. Anyway I m committed to stay clear of cayenne pepper and be more careful in the future, but the reason why I wanted to ask a doctor about this now was because I wanted to know if you think I should have an epipen on hand. I was a little afraid as to how much more intense the symptoms were after having not had them for so long. I was wondering if you think I should get checked out again or if there is really no way to definitively confirm such an allergy. Also, from what I read barley, cayenne pepper, and tylenol allergies are rare and also I don t experience every common allergy symptom. So I was wondering if you think I was wrong about this being an allergy or if this is indicative of some other type of unusual condition. I just didn t want to waste my time and money seeing another doctor about this again since I wasn t sure if there was going to be anything also they could test or do for me other than to advice staying clear of those foods for which I already know. | Hi...thanks for using Chat Doctor .I have noticed two problems in you...one panic disorder which lead to anxiety symptoms and second allergy to barley, Tylenol and cayenne pepper. For panic disorder u have to consult a psychiatrist and for allergy related problem better to consult gastroenterologist. There are few allergy tests which help to find out the list of things to whom u have allergy. For that u have to give your blood sample to lab who deal to these testing. |
sir.....i was wearing braces for my teeth 2 years ago..the treatment was because my upper jaw was protruding which i inherited and there was gap between my centre 2 teeth...i wore my clib for 8 months.....and my doctor made the gap at the centre 2 join by fixing it with lazer treatment.now that laser gum has come out and my treatment now is a failure...and the gap is starting to fall again..what should i do now?? | Mid-line disaster in most of the cases reverses back. You are not clear in what exactly was done with dental lasers. No dentist can fix any gap between the teeth using lasers. What I feel is that the gap was fixed witChatDoctorposite resin restoration which requires a light cure gun at the end, and you are confused with the light cure gun as dental lasers. Coming back to your query, if the resin restoration has come out then one can easily redo it in a single sitting. Thanks and Regards |
I have suddenly developed very unpleasant breath without signs of dental/ oral hygiene issues. The condition came on following a cold , which as since resolved, and has remained for the past week. Mouth wash, tooth brushing, chewing gum . . . nothing seems to relieve the odor. Is it time for a visit to my GP or should I wait another week? | Hello there... This is a common complaint from the patients during the cold weather... When you have history of frequent cold/upper respiratory tract infection foul smell from the mouth is quite possible...problems like sinusitis and cold would lead to post nasal discharge that gets into your throat resulting in foul smell... Once the symptoms of sinusitis and cold are treated your problem of bad smell would regress.... When you have deposits getting accumulated over your teeth, the gums get inflamed and swollen.... There are millions of microorganisms in the oral cavity... As when you eat they start decomposing the food particles and that results in foul smell...get a thorough oral prophylaxis done and then can use mouth rinses to keep away from bad breadth...the above findings - cold and deposits over your teeth, might concurrently be present....then you have to get treated for both... I advise you to consume lots of water... Consult your dental surgeon for further clinical evaluation and management.... |
Dear Sir, My brotheraged 32 has been taking Oleanz Rapitab -20mg mixed with chapati /bread or sometime it is mixed with veg dish. The man sometimes behaved abnormally and is very suspecious. Pleaseadvise some remedy medicine or to continue with this only. More so he has been taking this since last three years but no concerete improvement. Please help. With warm regards | Hi. I had gone through your query. Auspiciousness and behavior issues are due to his psychotic illness. Clean contains olanzapine. Olanzapine is atypical anti-psychotic which help to reduce psychotic features. Regular medicine with prescribed dose is must. It will help slowly. If he is having still undesirable response then consult again for re-evaluation of mental health. There are other modality of treatment too Psychological and social support is must. Consult psychiatrist and get further assistance. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. Thank you. Take care. |
hello , hi my grandmother is 70+ years of age & for the past 5 days she has been sick and she has shortness of breathe when she speaks & when she walks, she has a difficult time speaking when she speaks, when she coughs it sounds like whooping cough , and she has a difficult time walking. She has been vomiting and she shakes. Has has high blood pressure , but she never was skaking before & last week tuesday she got the flu shot when she went to the doctors. | Shaking may mean rigor? Obviously, she has severe breathlessness - Why? It may be a reaction to the flu shot - asthma? It may be heart failure precipitated by blood pressure, in this stress of fever. The picture sounds ALARM bell - she has to be seen IMMEDIATELY by a doctor. Blood counts and cardiac markers; ECG; X-ray chest and so on are a must.

I have a friction burn under my arm pit. It occured five days ago. Three days ago a rash started around, but not on the burn. The rash has now spread about five centimeters in radius aroundthe burn area. The burn is healing well and there is no infection. I have not dressed the area at all. | Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rash around friction burn in underarms which is very common as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing and the friction that comes can lead to rashes. Need not worry. I would suggest you to - Keep this area clean and Chat Doctor. - You should apply warm compresses with soaked towel and apply vitamin C serum at night. If condition doesn't get better than consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically and may prescribe immunosuppressants and may prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment.

hello,my husband and I are currently trying for a baby. I am now at day 21 of my cycle and have developed persistant burning/cramping low down in my pelvis. There is no discharge or vaginal pain, its all in the pelvis. I have been taking paracetamol but they have not taking the edge off and the pain is constant. I have been to see my GP this morning who performed an internal examination and could not find anything obviously wrong. I have also had a blood test this morning to see if I am ovulating/pregnant as I also have suspected endomitreocis which I am seeing a specialist about later this month. Can you shed any light on what this pain might be? If it turns out that I am pregnant, does this suggest that there is something wrong and that I am likely to misscarry? | Hi, As what I can understand from the history there might be a chance of UTI. This is one of the common which most females face. As there is always a need of being hygienic before any sexual activity. Usually people are conscious about being hygienic but sometimes it doesn't happen and leads to UTI. The burning sensation is due to UTI. Also, there will be a weakness of the Pelvic floor muscles. Which is also common in most females. One needs to do simple exercise to the Pelvic floor muscles. There are a bunch of pelvic floor exercises which you can try out. But the most important ones will be the Keels exercise. It's mainly used for urinary incontinence, but it also has other benefits like strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. You mentioned the blood test? But did you try to get the urinary test done once. As sometimes it gives more inputs. I wish you good luck for becoming mother soon. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. |

If it is herpetic ulcers you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel. Consult oral physician or ENT specialist. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

Hello, I went out last night and was drinking rather heavily - mostly clear liquor - I know this can result in dehydration the following day. My question is, I noticed this afternoon, after drinking very little fluid, that in addition to my very yellow urine, a small amount of a greyish/white discharge/mucous was at the tip of my penis prior to urinating. No burning or itching accompanied the discharge, and I have not seen it since, and perhaps urinated 2-3 times since. I have had recent sexual encounters, with the same (committed) partner, but limited only to oral sex with no vaginal or anal penetration. I have experienced this issue before, but only sporadically, even seen a urologist, and I am told my urine contains nothing to cause concern. Can this be a symptom of considerable dehydration? I normally do not drink in the amounts I did, and especially not liquor, my urine was noticeably more yellow than average. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. | Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum As you do not have any itching/burning sensation/lesion and your reports are negative it is unlikely to have an infection. So, I would suggest you to have plenty of fluids normally and more if you have alcohol to prevent concentrated urine and possible infection later. If you have any discharge which is persistent, then please visit dermatologist for investigation. All the best. |
For the last six months I have been feeling some pressure in the left side of my chest along with numbness. The pressure is right under the bottom of my rib cage. Any idea what this could be? I ve summed it up as issues related to my lower back problems but I m worried that it could be my heart. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, this can be related your heart. Left sided chest pressure with numbness is commonly seen in cardiac diseases. So better to first get done 1. ECG 2. 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about cardiac diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. Don't worry, you will be alright. First rule out cardiac cause. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.

I am 32 year old trying for baby since last 3 years. the recent ultrasound report confirmed that there is a endometriotic/ haemorrhagic cyst in right ovary . the lesion measures 6.1x5.1x52cm (85cc). there are two opnion of the Doctors i) remove it through laproscopc surgry and then go for pregnency ii) directly go for IVF. which i should prefer I am in dillema! Anju Singh | Hello AJU;welcome to Chat Doctor If it is an endometriosis/Han=hemorrhagic cyst it requires treatment. Since you are 32 yrs and can take chance of getting naturally pregnant, so you can go for a laparoscopic removal of cyst and if you do not conceive the IVF will be option which will be open even after 2 yrs also. As for the follicular study it is a procedure where sonography is done to find whether the size of the follicle produced by ovary is increasing to the desired size and then the follicle ruptures or bursts releasing the egg which is fertilized by the sperms, and it is necessary during fertilization so that you can have pregnancy. I hope I have answered your query. Thanks |
Hi, I have had some sort of stomach cramps, not bad ones, just ones that bother me, and the last to poo sessions(sorry for the lack of terms) I have cleaned my butt of Runny blood, not litres and litres of blood, but a good amount to concern one. It is bright red so I dont imagine it is eternal bleeding, any answer would be awesome. Thanks | Hello, sad to hear about your bleeding per alum. If I am your treating doctor I advise you that bleeding per alum is always a pathogenic. You have mentioned that bleeding is clear, it is not digested black. That means the bleeding is from the distal gastrointestinal tract. There are many causes of bleeding per alum from distal tract. It requires detail history, complete physical examination, some laboratory examinations and some radiological examination. All such things are not possible to describe by you and also asked by me. I advise you to contact me further for this quarry. Than to contact us Chat Doctor |
I just had an EEG and after the strobe lights and heavy breathing part of the test, I was asked to relax. During this time I began to experience rapid eye movement that I could not control and involuntary muscle twitching in my arms and upper body. Is this normal and does this indicate anything in particular? I am being tested for Epilepsy. | Hello ! Thank you for your question ! I understand your concern. I think you might have been experiencing a specific kind of Epilepsy seizure(probably partial complex occipital lobe Epilepsy) during the EEG. The heavy breathing you have done before this happened, has excited your brain, so that a seizure occurred. This is a normal procedure during EEG. The hyperventilation is commonly used to excite the brain, so the full pattern of the disease comes out in the EEG tracing. I am sure the doctor has understood this and has localized the problem in your brain. Hope to have been helpful! Thank you for using Chat Doctor Best wishes, |
Im 15, Im shivering cold. I had 7 blankets on last night but I was still freezing. I have asthma. I went to my doctor to talk to him about my coughing and breathing troubles recently. My body aches in my elbows, back, wrists, ankle, head, and chest. I felt to weak to move this morning, nauseated, and Ive been out of energy for 3 weeks now. My asthma has been acting up every night for the past 3 weeks. Last week I was literally unable to breathe because of how tight my chest was. My asthma is doing fine now, but I just want to feel better. I have a barky loud cough that annoys my parents and comes often. Ive been sick for 3 weeks. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Your cold, wheezing, cough could be due to upper respiratory infection or allergic rhinitis or bronchitis etc. You should do some routine blood works and X-ray chest to rule out infection in lung. He will require oral antibiotics with antipyretic, antihistamines in oral formulations. Now, if he has been diagnosed with asthma already then he would require bronchodilators like beta agonists and anticholinergics in MDI or rota haler. In addition, antihistamines(like cert zine or Allegra) and mast cell stabilizers are also had a useful in the treatment of asthma but for all this treatment. With all above medication you will feel better in 2 to 3 days for which you need to consult physician or pulmonologist who will guide you further. |
My name is Melissa and I am 28 years old. I have 2 kids (3 and 1yrs old). I had rhuematic fever when i was young and had a mitral valve stenosis at 19years.

I would like to have some more information on your concern |
Two weeks ago I was climbing a rock face when I slipped and whacked my left knee and right shin. The bruises have almost gone, but the dent in my right shin bone is still there and painful. I can t kneel down (sore to lean on) and it is very sore to touch. | His there, Thanks for asking. It appears that though you are injured you are capable to walk indicating that your shin-bone is not fractured. So it looks like blunt trauma has locally affected your bone so because of inflammation it is aching, and it will take time to reduce and nothing to be worried about the dent. So apply warm to the place where it is aching. Hope you get well soon early, Thank you. |
I just found out that I m a couple weeks pregnant plus I am a cadet at a criminal justice program. My concern is about firing my pistol and if that can cause any problems? I also have to workout alot and arrest control? But I only have two months to go will any of this be detrimental to the baby? | HI, I understand your concern. I don't think firing of own pistol would have any effect on pregnancy. Pregnancy is a bit delicate in first 3 months... so hectic movements are contraindicated in those days. You should avoid excessive physical & psychological stress throughout your pregnancy. In addition, you can start taking progesterone supplements o preventive basis & continue doing light work OR take a medical leave till the placenta is well-formed. * In case you take good nourishing diet/ avoid excessive physical/ psychological stress, have regular pregnancy check-ups & take medicines advised regularly. Your baby will not be harmed. Thanks. |
I have a friend who recently is having dizzy spells. We have sort of figured if he ate to much sugar then stand up he gets dizzy. This does not happen all the time. He does have a drain tube in for gall bladder that is to be removed. Could this be causing the problem? | Hi, Thanks for your question. After going through your question, there are following possibilities for your friends symptoms-1) Reactive hypoglycemia - this is due to sudden release of insulin after sugar intake which lead to low blood sugar level (hypoglycemia) which can be confirmed by doing blood sugar level during episode of dizziness.2) Postural Hypotension - fall in blood pressure after standing from lying down or sitting position. Which can be confirmed by checking blood pressure in lying down and standing position.3) Other rare possible causes may be - - Syncope. - Deny Chat Doctor. - Inadequate nutrition. It may not be related to his gall bladder |
I am experiencing occasional pain in my right hand halfway between base of thumb and wrist. It appears a bit inflamed but not red or warm. I was playing with a toddler and he accidentally kicked the sore spot and pain was horrible for about a minute. It has been going on for about 2 weeks now, but not at any regular time. I workout daily in the gym and thought maybe I did something there, but now I m thinking perhaps there is fluid or something in there. The range of motion is normal for my thumb and does not hurt when I move it or touch it. | Hello First I will advise doing x-ray and rule out any unicortical fracture in your thumb/wrist. According to your history it looks that there is possibility of injury to ligament of metacarpal or flange joint. If you are having swelling and pain you can strap your finger to get proper rest to joint. And apply cr\u00eape bandage for support and compression. Use ice packs to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain. Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you, For early healing you can take Tab Colin [it C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzymic plus]. If there is no relief them you may need to do MRI. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

I impregnated my mother when I was 14. We started having sex when I was 13. Mother have a very active sex life with dad. She being over sexed, seduced me one morning in the kitchen when dad was reading news paper. From then we have very hot sex when ever we get chance. It s been 5 years now. Mother produces huge quantity of milk and I drink from the source. After our baby was born, there was not a single day that I didn t drink thrice. We make love at least three times a day. Neither me or mom ever have enough.It seems that we can go making love all the times. Mom is insatiable. Dad and mom have sex at least once a day and they are very verbal. But mother doesn t let dad drink her milk. Our first baby is perfectly normal and is in class -l, gets very high grade in the class Now the problem is me and mom is trying to have our second baby for last one year. . We have sex with no protection. But she is not conceiving. One of my friend told me that lactating girls don t conceive. Please help. Me and mom is dying to have our second child. | Hello, Thank you for your query. I don't expect you to agree or understand what I'm going to say, but I feel obligated to say it anyway. This situation with your mother, is not normal or correct in any sense. This is incest/ sexual abuse. Your mother is supposed to be your parent and along with your father is responsible for your well-being till you become an adult. This may feel right as your mind is under the influence of the senses. And you are with the person you trust the most. Having a child together and trying for another is just wrong. Although you are a major now, your mother is entirely responsible for this situation. Please try to take some time away and see this for your self. You deserve a life of your own. What's done has to be dealt with, but it is more important to stop what's going on. Contact child services if you have or go away with your friends for a month. Tell your dad what's going on or a trusted relative/friend. It's not easy but you don't deserve this. I advise you not to have another baby with your mother. Have you thought about the repercussions for that child? Please stop this. Hope Ive made you stop and think. I wish you good health |

I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query think your medications are normal for any patient of stroke. By the medications, you must have had an embolic stroke of left MCA territory (probably) associated with atrial fibrillation. The only medication I think your neurologist may reconsider is Velcro Cr. But since I don't know the exact diagnosis (the above is just an estimate), I think he will be the right person to decide on that. As for the future prognosis, it seems you have already improved quite a bit- 90% in the right limb (that I am assuming was the affected limb). You need to continue the physiotherapy exercise that you may have been told about. They will help you improve. For a more complete advise, I will need to have a look at the MRI film of the episode. I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other, so I can be of help further. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you. Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

i tried to make a doctors appointment this morning for my 8 month old daughter she always feels warm she has a runny noes and a terrible cough with watery eyes and everytime she coughs she starts wingeing and bits of her food gets brought up any ideas what might be the cause of this please | Hi, It looks like your child has an upper respiratory infection, probably viral. Most of the child Chat Doctor. It is because of increased abdominal pressure during cough, that can cause vomiting. If there is any blood-tinged vomiting or green or yellow colored vomiting, then we should be worried. For upper respiratory tract infection, symptomatic treatment with decongestants will help. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
My Chest feels heavy andSomewhat hard toBreathe like I need to take deeper breathsI dont know if I am just freaking out because I was fine until I was feeling how fast my bfs chest was beating then I went to feel mine and it wasnt going as fast then like 10 mins later I startedFeeling weird I am 23 years old | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more because you develop symptoms only 10 minutes before and after seeing your boyfriends' chest. But better to rule out lung related diseases. So get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If both these are normal then no need to worry about major lung related diseases. Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
For the past few months I have woke up and about 30 seconds after waking I will shake all over my body. (More like vibrating), for about a minute. Then immediately get hot and sweat for about five minutes. Then goes away. I,m taking medicine. (Sucralfate, Naproxen, xanax, ambian, percocet. But only Sucralfate and Naproxen the past few months. | Hello ! Thank you for the question on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern. In my opinion the symptoms you have may be related to a sleep problem. You have been taking Zambian before, so you have had troubles with sleeping before. The waking up is also part of the sleep problem. I would like to know if you have nightmares during sleep, or any unpleasant feeling like paralysis when going to sleep. But the sweating is not very normal. Have you measured your body temperature when you get hot ? A possible infection can be associated with these symptoms, but not very consistent as your symptoms are only during sleep. An Epilepsy would also be a possible diagnosis. I would recommend you to have a full blood work and an EEG to rule out this diagnosis. In the meantime I would suggest trying ambient for a short period before sleeping time. I think it will help you. Hope to have been helpful! Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Best wishes |

Here the orthopedic doctor may I ask for blood report to check uric acid as well as calcium and vitamin D level. You can do what is necessary for it. If I have any patient like you, I will suggest going for MRI and as per MRI report I will ask him to take physiotherapy treatment as a conservative management for treatable cases in case if there is more damage in MRI report I will also suggest taking orthopedic opinion.in both cases like minor or major spinal problem you have to go with spinal exercise program suggested by physiotherapist as per your spinal condition to strengthen as well to improve stamina of your spine this will also help you to improve the elasticity of the nerves and your soft tissues so that you will also get relief in your radiating pain as well as tingling sensation.

Cerelac is not the only solution. Give him fruit juice, boiled and smashed potatoes, smashed ripe banana, double boiled rice with curd or buttermilk. Only curd with sugar can be given.

Hi, my lower belly and lower back hurt at times, mostly when I am in bed, and if I breathe in deeply they hurt worse. I feel like my tummy is tense and tight and its miserable. Keeps me from sleeping. Sometimes hurts bad when I roll over so I have to keep adjusting my sleep position . I am awake now and its still hurting the same but tends to go away during the day, come back when I lay down at night.. | It sounds like stomach issue. All this is caused by high acid secretion which is found in gastritis, HERD or hiatus hernia. These disorders can cause such difficulties, and you should do gastrostomy to evaluate this. Symptoms that are experienced in such conditions are pain and tightness in upper stomach, bloating, breathing difficulties, heartburn, feeling of lump and sore in throat, gurgling sound in throat, fatigue and loss of appetite. Symptoms are aggravated after meal, long sitting, leaning forward, stress and anxiety. In the beginning this is treated by changing dietary habits. You should avoid alcohol, coffee,smoking, fats and fast food, carbonated Chat Doctor. 1 hour after meal you should not sit or lay. Also lay with elevated upper body. If you are overweight you should do often exercise. Wish you good health. |
Hi, my dr. Started me on Gabapentin to help control my migraines. I have been on it for 4 weeks now. I have IBS and have been having severe constipation since taking it. I take 100 mg twice a day. My concern is that my sensation to evacuate my bowels isn t there any more. I am due to see a neurologist next week but should I see someone before then? | Hello, Gabapentin can cause constipation as side effects. The prophylactic treatment of migraine includes also sodium valproate, topiramate, amitriptyline, nortriptyline, flunarizine, etc. In case IBS-predominant constipation (IBS-C) is troublesome, switch over to alternative prophylactic Chat Doctor. Lubiprostone is a new class of compounds for treatment of chronic constipation with IBS. You may seek the opinion of Gastroenterologist prior to Neurologist appointment.

I am having occasional searing pain in my back between the shoulders blades. I can feel it coming on. It lasts for no more than one minute or so and then completely disappears. Ive had maybe 15 or so episodes of this over the last 3 months or so. | Hi I am Chat Doctor. . In my point of view it could be a muscular spasm due to overused muscle, shoulder joint, heavy lifting OR it could be due to nerve compression of your cervical spine vertebrae which is more likely to accompany your past 3 months of pain episodes. For now I recommend avoiding vigorous movements, provide good sitting and sleeping postures, painkillers when needed, hot massages with topical gels, muscle relaxants will be effective if not I suggest MRI and X-ray to exclude cervical herniation and visit your physician for proper management.

Hi my name is Christina. recently I have been having these weird attacks. I will be standing still and all of a sudden my heart begins racing, it feels like I have been running 5 miles really fast. Then I cannot breathe or catch my breath and I start feeling like I am about to black out. These last for normally 2-3 minutes and I have to sit down. The last time was last night. I am 18 and wondering what is going on. | Hello, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to postural hypotension or tachycardia. Another possible cause to consider would be anemia. For this reason, I would recommend checking first your complete blood count. If anemia is excluded, I would recommend performing a Head-Up Tilt test to investigate for orthostatic intolerance. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
Liver function test results show all the components are normal but for bilirubin which is 1.8 against0.8.Further US scan result shows mild coarse echotexture liver but normal in size and no leisons etc. I am diagnised to be HbsAg +ve but -ve w.r.to HbeAg ,DNA viral load , prothrombine time and reticulocyte etc.i need adivse in this regard | Hello, You must get a liver biopsy done to look for any fibrotic changes, since your ultrasound of liver suggests mild coarse echo structure. Remember 40% of ASYMPTOMATIC HEP B +ve patients have hepatic fibrosis. Get your ALT levels also done. If your ALT level is more than 60 or if liver fibrosis is present, you must get your treatment started by getting interferons and immunomodulators. Consult a gastroenterologist regarding your treatment. Thanks |
My son has been sick for three days..on the first day he threw up and was running a low grade fever .. the second day he ran a fever of 104.3 under the arm and we couldn t get it under 100.0 at all that day .. the third day he still has a fever and has a really nasty cough .. in those 3 days he has has a quarter of a samdwhich and a few bites of soup .. what should I do ? | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of low grade fever, vomiting and cough which are of viral infection. Yes you should be concerned about 104.3 degree temperature as it's not a low grade, actually. Your symptom of fever off and on is because your immunity is lower down because of infection. I would suggest you avoid intake of outside and spicy sharp food substances. Antibiotics will not give much relief to you as yours symptoms are more like viral infection. You should take paracetamol to prevent fever and combination of decongestants and multivitamin tablet. Your symptoms will resolve in 5-7 days. Avoid touching eyes, nose again and again. If your symptoms keeps on persisting the visit physician and get vaccination done. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, |
