Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, HCT stands for hematocrit. Hematocrit is the measurement of packed red blood cells. The upper limit of packed cell volume in females is less than. Value of 56.3 is a high value. Thus, this high value of packed cell volume has to be investigated and managed accordingly. High packed cell volume is usually due to polycythemia which may be primary or secondary. You will need to consult a hematologist as suggested by your treating doctor.

Hello, I understand your frustration. Use the words \"medical necessity\" when discussing your dental treatment. You must treat your abscesses in your moutChatDoctoring from your teeth. You have dental problems as a result of a medical problem. Your medical coverage probably excludes dental treatment except for certain surgeries. Try consulting with an oral surgeon or root canal specialist, an endodontist, to see if there are some codes that overlap between dental and medical conditions that can be utilized. In some instances, a refusal of coverage under a dental code allows submission to medical coverage. Keep open your discussion. Do not give up. This is a difficult area to ad Chat Doctor.

Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. As the trauma described by you was 3 weeks old, I would not consider an intestinal injury or an internal organ injury on my priority list of diagnoses. Most likely diagnosis would be a soft tissue injury of the abdominal musculature and sub-cutaneous tissue resulting in a hematoma formation coming up as a bruise which would take at least 3-4 weeks to get absorbed. However, this needs a clinical assessment to be very certain about it, and if I were your doctor, I would also recommend an ultrasound of the whole abdomen to rule out any kind of internal injury. In addition, I would prescribe an anti-inflammatory along with a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

Hello, If he fainted at night and is complaining of dizziness then, at this point I still believe he needs a cardiac workup which should include a 12 lead ELECTROCARDIOGRAM (EKG) along with a HOLDER OR EVENT monitor which will monitor his heart rates and rhythms since he may be suffering from a cardiac arrhythmia causing him to feel this way or pass out.  Another specialist who may be able to help is a neurologist in order to make sure that he is not suffering from severely decreased blood flow to the brain through either the carotid artery system or the posterior vertebrobasilar system which also cause dizziness and fainting if not enough blood is reaching the brain.  Yet another thing that the neurologist may consider would be a SEIZURE DISORDER that can both cause dizziness during an attack and fainting (referred to as the POSTICTAL STATE if it is a seizure event). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

No spinal stenosis does not cause FM.  FM is a diffuse process of hypersensitivity in cutaneous nerves or free nerve endings which is poorly understood in terms of how it starts, what the risk factors are or even how to treat it.  Spinal stenosis would be expected to cause many different symptoms than FM and be highly localized to the spinal segment or dermatome segment involving the spinal roots that are being affected.  FM is throughout the whole body....not spinal stenosis.  Please rate this a 5-STAR ENCOUNTER and write to me at www.bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.


Hi, Thanks for writing in. Gallbladder sludge refers to a thick material that is not absorbed by bile in the gallbladder and allowing this to accumulate over time can cause stone formation which will then obstruct flow of bile and can cause further pain and discomfort. Surgery is a standard form of treatment in gall bladder sludge formation. However, you might request your doctors for a trial of non-surgical treatment with Chat Doctor.  This does not work in every patient, but you can try taking it for a while and adhering to dietary restrictions. Should the medications fail to respond then a surgery is the only form of definitive treatment.

Neglecting to see doctor may result in permanent damage to the kidney.

Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to know more about you like


Hi, Yes,inhalers are comparatively safer than any other form of asthma treatment like oral. The medicine inside an inhaler goes straight into the airways when you breathe in. This means that you need a much smaller dose than if you were to take the medicine as a tablet or liquid by mouth. The airways and lungs are treated, but little of the medicine gets into the rest of the body leading to lesser and lesser side effects. The advantage of inhalers over other forms are that they are causing instant relief (bronchodilatation) by relaxing the muscle in the airways. Thanks.


Hello, I can understand your concern. Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a nerve problem that has to be controlled with painkillers as that is the only effective management of pain instead of invasive treatment.

They can also suggest you other options that can be effective to you for long-term pain free episodes. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor.

Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. I hope I have answered your query, take care.

I welcome to Chat Doctor. The prognosis of hepatitis c virus infection is difficult to guess without investigations like viral load and genotypic. However, as her liver enzymes are not grossly elevated and she doesn't appear to have features of cirrhosis, she's probably having a dormant infection.

Prognosis can only be estimated by keeping in constant follow up with a gastroenterologist as hepatitis can flare up at any time and condition may complicate. Hope I am clear

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should get done chest x-ray and PFT (pulmonary function test). Possibility of either lung infection or bronchitis is more because both these can cause cough with chest congestion. So chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. You may need antibiotic, inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the basis of these reports. Don't worry, you will be alright. For speedy recovery, better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello ! I read your question and understand your concern. In my opinion the symptoms you describe may be related to several problems. The main cause may be a stroke, causing loss of sensibility in half of the body, causing unsteady gait and inability to control the hand properly. Another problem would be a polyneuropathy, typical in diabetes, but it is associated with pain and tinglings in both feet and hands. Diabetic patients can also have seizures from high blood glucose, causing numbness in half of the body, but these are episodic, non-permanent. So to conclude I would recommend a good neurological examination, a full blood work, HbA1c and a brain CT scan. If these tests result normal, an Electroneurography for polineuropathy and a EEG would be necessary. Hope to have been helpful! Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Greetings,


Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress - 1. An active is a well kid even if she/ he is not eating well. 2. Development of a kid is as important as, or I would say even more important than growth alone.3. As the kids grow their interest in food decreases and interest in play activities increases so that they eat small quantity and run away to play. As parents, we need to be more patient and feed than less quantity but more liquors per day.4. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed her calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it.5. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause Chat Doctor. Regards -


Hi, Thanks for the query. Better to take folic acid from one month before the pregnancy. Usually 400 to 800 micrograms of folic acid is needed during pregnancy. But as you had previous history of microcephaly (possibly), you have to take 4000 micrograms of folic acid per day. This high dose can prevent birth defects in the baby. Ideally two years break should be there as you had cesarean section but with proper followup one year gap is enough. Take care.

So if your sister is having occasional headaches only (less than 4-5/month) - and if she would be my patient I would have advised taking medicines like 1 tablet headset(sumatriptan+naproxen) SOS basis only - however if attacks are more frequent and troubling than propranolol can be given in the dose she was earlier maintained on (but if psychiatrist stopped it, there could be some rationale behind it so better to discuss with him/her rather than taking medicine on own) propranolol can cause hypotension, can worsen preexisting respiratory difficulties, can worsen depression, and glycemic control among other side effects- but they do not occur in all patients-hope I answered your query, any followup queries are welcome - if satisfied please rate the answer

Hi, How are you? My name is Chat Doctor.  I am a liver and pancreas specialist and I hope to answer your question today. I am sorry to hear about your aunts condition. By the sound of it, your aunt seems to be suffering from a bile leak which is a rare complication following a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but very common if the surgery was a difficult one due to adhesions.

Hello thanks for asking from Chat Doctor for your health related queries can understand your concern. Loss of parent and then loss of job has probably built the significant stress which has precipitated these symptoms. The repeated panic attacks, feelings as if you had heart attack, anxiety episodes, lightheadedness, fear of sleep etc. could denote a panic disorder or anxiety disorder. As per my opinion you should consider consulting a psychiatrist for these symptoms. In most cases Behavior therapy coupled with relaxation exercises like Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercise, Breathing Exercise help to reduce these symptoms and also reduce the intensity of attacks. If these methods don't result in improvement then medicines like SSRIs along with benzodiazepines can help. Benzodiazepines in low doses can be utilized to reduce the symptoms of severe panic, and you will be able to function normally. Thanks, hope this helps you. Take care


Hello, Normally couples married for one year have intercourse 2-3 times a week. But having less frequency does not point out towards any specific disorder especially when it is not associated with any problem with sexual performance (Erectile Dysfunction/ Premature Ejaculation) or other depressive/anxiety features (decreased interest in pleasurable activities/sadness of mood, hopelessness, death wishes).It's a possibility that he may be stressed out and not yet ready for kids therefore not going for intercourse. You need to talk to him and be open about your desires of sexual gratification so as you two can sort this out to resume your healthy sexual life.

Hello ! Thank you for your question. In my opinion you have nothing to worry about it. The headache you have is caused by the contracted muscles of the scalp due to hair traction by the band in this case. It may be also aggravated by a wrong position of your head (during staying or writing, working at the computer), from psychological stress, etc. Dizziness is another feature of this kind of headache (Tension type Headache). Nothing is going to happen to your brain if you continue holding the band. Your brain is well protected! We have seen in patient who underwent brain surgery, that the bands very straight to the head can cause damage to skin in the pressure point, but it is not your case. Your band is not so tight, also you don't have it on during night. You may just make pauses (remove it) remove it during the day, so your muscles get a little relaxed. You will get pain relief. Hope to have been helpful to you.  Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Best wishes,

Hi, I am so sorry to hear about your moms symptoms. But based on the symptoms you have listed and the physical signs you are describing, she seems to be suffering from Acute cholecystitis (Inflammation of the gall bladder) most probably due to gall stones. I would suggest you to get an ultrasound scan of the abdomen as soon as possible and also do blood tests to confirm the same. If the diagnosis is confirmed, then the current recommendation is to proceed immediately with a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This operation is routinely done in a number of surgical centers. If it has been more than 48 hours since the symptoms began, then I would suggest some painkillers and rest and plan for a cholecystectomy six weeks later once the inflammation subsides. Hope this helped and hope your mom starts feeling well soon. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details if necessary - rxsuresh@gmail.com

Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query.

Hi.thank you for posting query at Chat Doctor. Gallstones are small stones that form inside the gallbladder. Gallstones pain (Biliary colic) usually is experienced when the gallbladder contracts in response to a fatty meal. This compresses the stones, blocking the opening. As the gallbladder relaxes several hours after the meal, the pain subsides.1. Medical therapy is an option for gallstones, though a vast number of surgeons around the globe prefer removal of gall bladder-surgical intervention. Medical therapy includes intake of ursodeoxyholic acid (UCA) for a period of 12 to 24 months. UCA has been shown to inhibit biliary secretion of cholesterol, reduce intestinal absorption of cholesterol, increase hepatic bile secretion, and improve gallbladder emptying. Medical therapy is useful if mild symptoms, stones are smaller (weight reduction and low-fat diet is also a part of medical therapy.2. Surgery lasts for less than one hour (usually half an hour). Laparoscopic surgery has greatly reduced surgery time duration and surgical complications. You may travel 7 to 10 days after surgery, though the surgeon may indicate precise time. I would also like to mention that gall bladder is removed completely in surgical intervention which may impair fat digestion. You maybe asked to cut fat completely from your diet (or keep to minimum) after gall bladder surgery. Hope to answer your concern. Wish you good and sound health. Regards Chat Doctor.


Your situation is very difficult, and I am deeply disturbed and sorry to hear about your suffering. It's all the more painful because you are not the one with the problem, it's your husband. My first piece of advice to you is to protect yourself and your child from this men outbursts. If you can, you should take your child and leave the house each time these outbursts occur. Notifying family members (and perhaps friends) of the situation will help to protect and support you to some extent. Your husband may indeed have bipolar disorder as you suspect, but more importantly he has a horrible lack of insight into his problem thereby making it impossible for him to understand his need for treatment. Because of this, his prognosis for improvement is very poor indeed. You cannot force him into treatment if he refuses it; however, a nicely written lawyers' letter on your behalf may help you. You may have to leave this man if he does not seek treatment for this intense problem. Best wishes and I hope things improve for you!

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The color of the skin and internal sensitive area is not all uniform. The sun tan color hue is normal and nothing to worry. You are supposed to be able to pull the foreskin back and clean the area twice daily. Otherwise, remnants of urine, dust, microorganism etc. can contaminate that part, and it may lead to itch and burning. You can use some olive oil or some other mild oil to apply and exercise the foreskin back and forth slowly and steadily. After some days pulling back of the foreskin should become much easier. The area beneath the foreskin is sensitive, and it should irritate when you touch and this would also be cared for with practice. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Hi ! It is good that all tests related to your heart were normal. Erosive gastritis m gives rise to esophageal spasm which may mimic a cardiac problem. CT scan is not the ideal investigation to show erosive gastritis. It can be diagnosed with the help of your history, followed by the endoscopy. You can go for a proton pump inhibitor, a prokinetic agent, and an antacid after consulting your doctor, and at the same time you should go more for bland diet, fresh vegetable and fruits, and avoid fast fried food from outside. Biopsy is a routine procedure whenever an endoscopy is done to exclude many other pathological processes associated with chronic esophagitis. So you do not have to worry about it till the report is ready. Wishing you an early recovery.

Hi Na dash, It is usual for very fair persons to have pink color over face, Ear lobes, palms, feet etc. when exposed to hot weather as the blood vessels tend to dilate resulting in rushing of blood to all above-mentioned locations giving a pink appearance. This happens to everybody but is more noticeable in very fair skinned persons. As long as there is no itching you do not have to worry about it. As for feeling breathless after reaching home, you should get your blood hemoglobin level checked. There are many other causes for breathlessness which warrant a thorough checkup by a Physician.

In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Bronchitis can cause similar symptoms. And PFT is must 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). If PFT is normal then no need to worry much for this. Sometimes stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, if you have these. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.


Hi... I do not suggest using 2 antibiotics at the same time without proper evaluation what is happening. It could as well be only a Iraq illness which does not require antibiotics at all. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards -

HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Back pain and sciatica associated with disc herniation can last for 1 month to 6 months. With muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine and pain medications like tramadol I usually use in my patients to control the symptoms. Physiotherapy and muscle strengthening exercises will speed up your recovery. So you can wait for a 6 months duration before considering surgery if there is no serious neurological deficits.

Hi, Please do not worry. Just check if the pregnancy tests were done after the missed period or before it, as those done before missed periods will be most likely negative. If the test was negative after 7 days or more from the missed period, you are not likely to be pregnant. In that case the absence of period is due to I pill and injection that sometimes delays periods. Just wait for your periods after this. If you have not taken a test 7 days after the missed period, get it done using the first morning sample of urine for best results and rule out pregnancy. Also stress delays periods so relax, you have done everything possible and so are most likely safe. Hope this helped. Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
