Hello, Bulging cervical disks anatomically are unrelated to double vision therefore, if you are having headaches that are being accompanied by the double vision I would be concerned for a different process that could be going on.  Having said that it is possible that the bulging disks themselves could be resulting in some contribution to the headaches. However, I would also expect to hear something about painful radiating pains from the neck into the shoulders and top portions of the arms and maybe even a stinging pain that goes down to the base of the thumbs.  I'd also expect to hear some things to do with numbness and tingling into the upper extremities.  If none of that is present then, I may still keep the Neurosurgeons appointment.  However, I would ask to be sent to a NEUROLOGIST ahead of that May appointment with the surgeon, so they can properly evaluate you for something causing the headaches OTHER THAN the bulging disks.  You may still find something that is surgically amenable to fixing but at least it may not be cervical disks that could potentially stay where they're at and avoid neck surgery which has its ADVANTAGES. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.


Hi. I can understand your concern. Swelling on face when there is tooth Infection is commonly seen when there is spread of Infection to the soft tissues leading to cellulitis. If there is pus formation below the root tips If the tooth leading to abscess, it can also be a cause. So my suggestion is to get her clinically checked along with x-ray of the tooth. If there is Infection causing swelling then higher antibiotics can be advised followed by treatment of the tooth for permanent resolution. If it is due to reaction to antibiotics then antibiotics can be changed. Hope this helps. Regards.

Painful heart palpitations after exertion suggest that certain area of your heart might be getting less blood supply as compared to what is needed. Plus the associated radiating pain in left arm and leg also point towards the same.

Consult a cardiologist and get your ECG, ECHO and Stress TMT tests done which will rule out any serious cardiac disease.

Hi...by what you say I feel that your kid might be having a recurrent viral illness. I will explain to you how a viral illness behaves so that you can be more confident. 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. Regards -

Hi there, Do not worry at all, if at 8 weeks the baby is fine and fetal heart is ok it means that the baby is fine.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. You have not given your age here. Any size penis can provide great pleasure for the man It's attached to. An estimated 95 percent of penises are average size (3 to 5 inches flaccid, 5 to 7 inches erect). Very few are significantly larger or smaller. When women have been surveyed about what they want in a lover, they consistently mention attractiveness, kindness, caring, listening, sense of humor, and shared interests and values. Not the size of penis! Forget enlargement products. They are expensive and they are cynical frauds. There are certain natural ways to enhance size. Flaccid or erect, size depends on the amount of blood in the organ. Less blood means a smaller penis. Stop smoking, exercise regularly, Lose the pot-belly, eat less meat and cheese, Embrace meditative relaxation and don't be anxious about penis size.

This plant is claimed to boost immunity and thus prevent common cold.  Your wife is suffering from asthma, not common cold.  There are reports of worsening of autoimmune disease after taking Echinacea So your wife should stop taking this product. You may try Tulsa leaf if available.

Hi there, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Obesity, diabetes mellitus, high cholesterol are some risk factors for gallstones. So you need to reduce weight if you are obese.

Backache, one of the commonest problem facing mankind, is the price we are paying for having developed erect posture. It can be very distressing for the patient and confusing for the doctor, more so, when all the relevant investigations are normal. One important point to consider is that pain is a subjective phenomenon. A mother can go through the apparently traumatic childbirth without much problem, while at other times, she may not be able to tolerate even a small injection. That is the effect mind has on the pain sensation. When one is depressed, medically unexplained pains are common. Solution lies in understanding and accepting the problem and tackling depression by pharmacological or other means. Human body is not just a machine, it has a mind of its own.

Hi, How bad is Chat Doctor.  5 gallons could be fatal. 1 325 of Tylenol is safe. It takes ten times that at one time to be bad for the liver. So, it is safer than water. In each case, having taken a gallon or a Tylenol yesterday isn't going to make taking it again today unsafe. So, the Tylenol issue won't accumulate. On the other hand, there are a lot of reasons not to overtake narcotics. You can get used to them in a few days and then they don't work as well because you've gotten used to them. It is equally true that if you don't have any pain, you don't know when to take them.  The other feature the nurse is correct about is that they start working only about 40 min after you take them. Their peak effect is like at 90 min. So, if you wait on the pain, you will have a lag before relief. But there are also reasons to wait. The nerve block wears off pretty suddenly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Chest tightness and difficulty breathing are normal symptoms of Anxiety disorder but its also normal symptoms for Asthma. I would get heart palpitations (irregular heart beat), and shooting pains through my chest and arms. The only way to find out if you have asthma is to take the medication for a test run. If you feel better after using it, then its just that. The doctor can also put you on a test run of antianxiety medication for a week or so. It's best to just give it a try to find out what you have, because anxiety and asthma are difficult to diagnose by having tests done. As for the type of anxiety medication you should try, I would recommend Effector XR, or something similar. You can ask your doctor. I wouldn't recommend Zoloft as it can make you depressed. It is possible for one test to come back differently than another. It can all depends on a lot of different factors. I hope this helps a bit.

Hello, I can understand your concern. The first possibility from your description of the swelling and location seems to be presence of authors ulcer or canker sore. However, these ulcers are very painful, and you are not having much pain which negates the possibility. Secondly, the location you have described has a minor sublingual salivary gland. If this gland or duct passing saliva is traumatized due to some reason, it can develop a swelling. This swelling usually hurts while eating and otherwise does not hurt. Thirdly, it could be a cyst developed in the area. Cysts are fluid filled cavities that are lined by the epithelium or a small lining of cells. Cysts are painless unless infected. However, it is very difficult reach a diagnosis until the swelling is examined. I would advise you to visit a dentist for the examination of the swelling regarding its texture, exact location, symptoms, color and size. You might have to go for blood test and biopsy. Based on the examination and test results, diagnosis can be made and management can be advised. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Take care. Best,

Hi Anil Safari, Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thanks for your question... Irrational fear, false beliefs, paranoid ideas, hearing voices, etc. are indicative of a type of psychiatric problem called psychosis. Now, psychosis can be due to various psychiatric illnesses or sometimes, due to medical causes also. Such psychiatric illnesses may include delusional disorder, severe depressive disorder, schizophrenia or late-stage dementia. Sometimes, sudden onset of psychosis in an elderly person can be due to a primary medical cause or a brain pathology. Certain medication like steroids, can also result in the development of psychotic symptoms. You need to take her to a psychiatrist who will be able to assess her in detail to determine the probable cause for these psychotic symptoms. If he suspects any medical cause or brain pathology, then she may have to undergo a few tests and maybe, a brain scan to detect any such causes. Treatment will also depend on the nature of the cause. For example, if she has a primary medical pathology, then that has to be treated first. If her psychosis is part of a depressive disorder, then she may require anti-depressants, in addition to the treatment for the psychotic symptoms. If it is part of a delusional disorder or schizophrenia, then anti-psychotic medication would be the primary line of treatment. All the best. -


Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Shivering and Jerking in a 1-week-old baby with no other possible causes can be due to a couple of things commonly - low sugar levels in the blood and low calcium. I would suggest the baby to be breastfed more aggressively every 2 hourly. That's the best you can do at home. I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician, so that the moments can be witnessed, and appropriate blood tests can be done before any medical therapy is initiated. Sometimes these subtle moments can be normal in a neonate. Hope the info helped. Take care.

Hello, Can't possibly know if it is serious without an examination. And, inflammation occurs after the injury and increases. This causes accumulation of tissue fluid (swelling) the swelling causes the joint to be (temporarily mostly) deformed by the tissue fluid and less mobile.  The tissue fluid distorts the area and makes it pull. Warm water causes resorption of the fluid. Elevation moves it out by gravity and deep water submersion pushes it out. So, warm water soak in deep water such as a pool usually helps fairly quickly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Please re confirm the condition of your cousin as vascular dementia instead of vestibular dementia as mentioned. Vascular dementia is caused by reduced blood flow to the brain because there is a problem with the blood vessels that supply it. Parts of the brain become damaged and eventually die from a lack of oxygen and nutrients. However, unlike other forms of dementia, many cases of vascular dementia can be prevented. Once vascular cognitive impairment progresses to vascular dementia, the disease can only be slowed down, not stopped. Medicines may help control some symptoms. It is important to know the cognitive impairment and as you have mentioned that his mental acuity is impressive, I think he will not have many problems if taking regular medications.

Hi greetings from Chat Doctor White blood cells or leukocytes are the cells of the immune system. They protect the body against the foreign materials and infections.  Reduction in white blood cell count leads to weakened immune system, as these cells are an integral part of the immune system. A person with low white blood cell count is at higher risk of bacterial, fungal and viral infections due to a compromised immune system. The infections of gastrointestinal system, lungs, throat and bladder are some typical examples of low white blood cell count infections. When you notice the symptoms of infection due to leukemia, you should immediately consult the doctor. Complete blood count and absolute neutrophil count are the commonly recommended tests for the diagnosis of leukemia. Sometimes, a bone marrow examination is suggested by the doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Besides that have a balanced and nutritious diet. Add more fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Avoid all junk and fast foods. Thank you
