Right bundle branch block also occurs with heart disease, both congenital (e.g., atrial septal defect) and acquired (e.g., valvular, ischemic). As you are symptomatic (chest pain & palpitation), 2D-echocardiography is indicated to determine the cause.RBBB cannot be corrected with any medication.

Greetings. Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thank you for your question. I understand your concern. If it was something heart-related, at your age there are rare conditions that can be inherited disorders, that would have palpitations for symptoms. However, these disorders are almost always caught in the EKG, and each one of them has specific EKG signs. Therefore, we ruled that out. You mentioned that the \"jump-starting\" of the heart happened in the gym. It is normal for the heart rate to go up while being physically active. In your case, it is tolerated up to 200 beats per minute (220 - age, is the formula). The anxiety or panic attacks are almost always triggered by some event, such that, the person experiencing them, knows which places or venues will trigger their attack, such as public speaking or performance, crowded places, narrow pathways etc. It works in that way that a certain phenomenon causes the panic attack. From that moment on, every single symptom you experience, comes from anxiety

Hi, The changes described are degenerative (related to aging and lifestyle). A disc osteophyte complex occurs when the intervertebral disc moves backwards (slip disc) and the adjacent bone enlarges to try and keep the disc in place. This leads to compression of the spinal cord and adjacent nerve roots which cause symptoms. Uncovertebral arthrosis and facet join hypertrophy simply represent degenerative arthritis of some joints in your cervical spine which may cause pain by itself or cause compression of your nerve roots. Foraminal stenosis means that there is narrowing if the neural foramen which is the pathway through which your nerve roots pass. Treatment usually depends on your symptoms. If you have severe symptoms of nerve root compression (tingling or shooting pain along an arm, weakness of one hand, etc.) you may need operative intervention. However, if pain is your only symptom, you may improve only with medication and physiotherapy. You need to meet an orthopedic surgeon to evaluate your problems and discuss various options.  Sincerely, Vamshi

Hi, In Hodgkin lymphoma no role of surgery is there. Probably you wanted to mention surgical biopsy. Now, stage II Hodgkin lymphoma is managed by chemo radiotherapy. As already 5 years have been elapsed chance of recurrence is lower but at this stage main concern will be chance of developing second cancer due to previous treatment and late toxicities due to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. If radiation to neck and/or mediastinum (chest) was given previously, annual chest imaging (high resolution CT scan) is an option to identify any early thoracic cancer. Testicular swelling seems to be unrelated to the disease entity. It may be due to epididymo-orchitis. Ultrasound should be done for proper diagnosis. Take care of your son.

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. Forum.  You had pain in the upper abdomen, bloated, exhausted, previously also you had such pain.  The pain in the upper abdomen is suggestive of the gastric pain due to peptic ulcer, or gastric irritation due to irritant foods. Gall bladder pain, or pancreas pain, or stones in the pelvis of the kidney.  I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment, as it may become severe as the time passes.  I advise you to avoid spices, junk foods, and oily foods.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.  Best regards.


HelloThanks for the query. Since pain is from one year and still persistent. May be due to .1 Right renal stone, sometimes transparent stone don't visible in scan and only history will find out .2 The next possibility may be right ovarian cyst or fallopian tube infection. Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of right ovary with clinical and physical examination. 3 Right side bone tuberculosis, diagnosis can be confirmed by blood for E S R examination with clinical and history of illness. In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion. If you are a female patient then consult gynecologist and get his opinion. Sometimes first opinion don't find any disease but in 2nd opinion we can find out the exact reason of illness, so 2nd opinion is necessary. Good luck.


Hi, Thanks for writing in. Sorry to hear about the cancer your mother is having. Cancer is a difficult condition, but she must fight till the end. Unfortunately survival for more than 2 years is rare, but please do not give up hope and continue treatment. Stage 4 stomach cancer is a difficult condition to treat, but she should be maintained on treatment to make the disease stable and prevent disease progression. It is difficult to do surgery in a patient having stage 4 cancer stomach. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are the choices available to extend her survival and slow the disease process. With limited choices, radiation therapy might help. Please continue to give her nutritious food and also give her plenty of water and fresh juices. Giving her soft diet will be beneficial for her digestion and help her to put on weight and feel stronger. Please do not worry.


Hi, Lets start from the surgery. Your doctor may have explained to you that in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy the heart muscle gets very thickened. Such thickened muscle may produce life-threatening arrhythmias, that's why defibrillator was implanted, which is the most efficient way to prolong the life of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Also, in some cases, the thickened muscle obstructs a part of the heart from where blood flows from the heart to the aorta. Two types of surgeries, who mentioned are done in this case. They are meant to reduce the thickness of the muscle in the heart septum, thus, give a chance to blood flow to the aorta. Heart failure in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have two causes 1. The obstruction I have mentioned above 2. When heart thickened heart muscle starts work weak, and heart can't pump enough blood to the body. You can talk to your doctor to find out which one is the case of your husband. In the first case, the surgery may help. In the second case, only medications are indicated. The life expectancy of heart failure patients depends on many factors, one of them is how weak is heart muscle. But usually if you can achieve good results with medications, his 5-year life expectancy may be quite high, especially if he has a defibrillator. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.


Hello, This would have to be done by a physician of course. The blocker in Suboxone is short-acting and 2 days at the very most (and more likely 12 hrs) would be enough to get the blocker out of the system.  The Suboxone is still there. It is a strong narcotic. It often helps the pain.  The first thing which you may have already done is to go with a heavy dose of anti-inflammatories since this does not interact with the Suboxone and is a strong pain reliever for dental pain. The Suboxone could be stopped BUT anyone on Suboxone is a high risk of having addiction problems when not on it. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.


This condition is called hyperglycemia it is because the protein in the body should be metabolize so uric acid is the by product of this metabolism.

Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor . I do understand your depression.you should elaborate a little about duration and regularity of your menstrual cycles. And do you mean D&E by surgery??

Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. In case of spacing or irregular teeth, they are not treated individually but as entire dentition. I suggest you get an OPG and Lateral cephalogram done and visit an Orthodontist. If rest of your dentition is fine and the gap is the only thing and if it can be closed by their movement only, then your treatmentvwont require permanent braces. But usually this is not feasible as moving a tooth ultimately require whole dentition adjustment. You can go for capping or veneers for only gap closure. Or there are transparent braces these days which are less visible. Treatment with fixed braces can last from 6 months up to a year varying from case to CAS. And you may need to have a retention wire on inner side of your teeth to prevent relapse. This all needs to be decided after proper case study only. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!

Hi there. Thanks for your question. It is not uncommon to have radiating sciatica kind of pain at rest. Pain which is present on sitting and lying down, relieved on movements, suggest an extrapyramidal kind of disc herniation, which is particularly common in people above 50 years of age. It is quite distressing since rest exaggerates the pain. I would suggest you to get an MRI and re confirmation the finding. Aonce its confirmed injection shots give considerable relief. If no pain relief with injection, the next step would include surgery. But surgery would surely be the last step in the ladder. Hope this helps. All the best. Regards. Chat Doctor.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor.  I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. This is probably a fibroadenoma which is a benign breast growth and usually there is a slow size progression over the years. I think that at this point you should do breast ultrasound and have a biopsy to be sure that this is not something more serious. Then it can be removed under local anesthesia by a general or plastic surgeon. In every case it doesn't sound serious to me if this lasts for more than 5 years. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

If not wait for the complete eruption of the tooth. For pain ibuprofen will provide relief (if you are not allergic to any medicine).

Hi there Dowser, To my mind, there is no real appreciable difference between 2%, 5% & 10% as regards hair growth especially in women. As a dermatologist I generally avoid giving women more than 2% topical minoxidil to limit the side effects that most women face on minoxidil. It is true that in some cases when one stops minoxidil, the hair that is grown tends to fall. I would suggest you pay your dermatologist a visit. Xxxx.

Hi, How are you doing ? I don't agree with this management. Closed is Camphene is hormone which causes increase in hormone which makes the follicular growth better. But its main side effect is it will reduce the inner lining of the uterus. If this is reduced, the pregnancy chances is reduced, as this lining is needed for the embryo/ baby to get good attachment to uterus. So the better option is to have dose of hormone injections to increase the follicular size.  It will be safe to increase dose of Closed in next cycle. But by just increasing dose of tablet, problem will not be solved. Better to take hormone injection from the beginning & you will get a much better follicular response. Hope I have clarified your queries All the best Chat Doctor.

Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I read carefully your question and understand your concern. You should know that your symptoms are not typical of Parkinson's Disease. Depression or PTSD could explain your symptoms. Anyway, it is true that a careful physical exam from a neurologist would help exclude other possible disorders like Parkinson or any brain injury. A brain MRI would also be necessary considering the fact that you have gone through a head trauma. For this reason, I agree with you on the fact that consulting with a neurologist would help exclude other possible causes of your symptoms. But if the neurological exam and brain MRI are normal, you should continue to follow up with your attending physician. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,

Very good question. This seems to be a common issue among toddlers due to their picky diet. My main concern is that it was 2 weeks since a bowel movement. At this point, you ruled out her diet. The next step is to try a laxative such as OTC MiraLax. You can start by giving 1 tablespoon twice daily. It will take about 12 hours to see any results. If hat doesn't work, I would try a glycerin suppository. For kids, they come as liquid glycerin that you insert rectally. If it doesn't produce a stool within an hour, I would have her evaluated in the ER for a possible blockage. There they will have to possibly do a fleet enema or give some very strong medication to break it.Let's cross our fingers and hope that the MiraLax will work! Good luck!

Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. The history suggest me that it's an inguinal hernia - on and off swelling in the scrotal sac which disappears after some time.2. And clothing do effect the swelling which means pressure effect also favors in terms of hernia.3. Possibilities of cyst can not be there, because if there is cyst there will be for all time not fluctuation in size.4. In this case I would recommend getting an ultrasound scrotum done when you have the swelling.5. It will exactly help to find out and differentiate actual pathology - weather mass, cyst, hernia - where it's existing from and where it's extending to - it's a good tool for scrotum and testis.6. You should worry until you find out cause - but nothing is scary in your history. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead. Sometimes with growing age muscles tend to get week. Do not strain your self or over exert. U can also apply some good anti-inflammatory painkiller gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Some brain atrophy is to be expected for people above 60 yrs old. While dilated ventricles is a direct consequence of this atrophy.

In my opinion you should do some memory testing, beginning with a MUSE, and annual follow-ups. There is no specific prognosis on brain atrophy, but you can do some estimation on your memory examination follow-ups. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
