what are the possible reasons to explain why I experienced dizziness and fell to the floor injuring myself because I was unable to stand up or maintain consciousnessf after getting out of the bathtub? Did I faint and/or lose consciousness? what should I do to prevent this from happening again?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Moments of dizziness can happen due to decreased blood flow from heart to brain. When it happens, the blood flowing through the vessels from heart to brain might have a reduced flow. These are by the carotid and vertebral arteries on either sides. This is more significant when you are standin...

I think you might mean that your doctor is giving you Meloxicam, an anti-inflammation medicine that treats pain as well as other signs of inflammation like swelling and redness. In any case, swelling in the hands and feet joints that is worse in the morning in a woman of your age is likely to be an inflammatory arthrit...
I had a cortisone injection 8 days ago in my groin for pain in my hip. I have had many injections before with no side effects. I have been in constant pain in my groin and down my leg since the shot. I am treating it with cold packs with no reliefe in sight. Does not look like I have infection.
It is possible that this injection might have injured a nerve by mistake and that could be the cause of your shooting pain. You should take anti-inflammatory medicines like Diclofenac sodium or Ibuprofen and also add Tab Pregabalin 75\u00a0mg twice daily for 10 days and see whether you find relief. Do you have any weak...

Thank you for writing on Chat Doctor. I do understand you concern. Your father has been with pneumonia and suffers from COPD and 10 % of his lung capacity is low. By these number and the liters of oxygen being used I presume your father is in stage four of COPD (or D stage) which is the last stage. COPD is not e revers...
