000004704 | Chest pain radiating to arm is a classical symptom of Angina Sectors usually also associated with profuse sweating. Evaluation having showed variation in ECG suggestive of a heart attack (ST elevation) along with increased Cardiac enzymes is almost confirmatory of Myocardial Infarction (an ongoing heart attack). The next best step in case of persistent chest pain is to go through a Coronary Angiogram which will give a clear picture of the status of coronary arteries supplying the heart. Any blocks in these arteries if any will be detected and can be dealt with. If the chest pain has stopped, serial eggs and cardiac enzymes can be taken to confirm an MI (myocardial infarction) or heart attack in simple words, and then the doctor can proceed to do an angiogram or treadmill test based on the changes. High cholesterol levels might also play a part in clogging up the arteries and hypertension can also lead to damage to arteries and plaque formation. All these are additional risk factors if present in leading to a heart attack. | |

Surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy with radiation therapy is recommended for young patients, but it is important to know your general condition and if you can withstand the surgery. Cryotherapy is a safe method and will control your cancer. Please follow up regularly with your doctor. Please do not worry. | |

000004781 | Hello friend, Thank you for posting your query through Chat Doctor. I feel sympathy for you not because of your disease but because of your poor understanding about your disease. Lymphedema is not your disease. Lymphedema simply means the accumulation of lymph at a particular area because of poor lymphatic circulation and defective removal of lymph from the area affected. Just imagine what happens when you pluck out a bud from a plant when you really want to remove the plant as a whole. Instead of destroying the plant with its roots, you are trying to remove the buds. You will only experience further growth of more buds from more areas in the plant. Just like that you are not doing anything to remove your disease in its totality. There will be surely an underlying disease that makes you suffer from lymphedema. Approach a physician who will help you to diagnose your disease after all necessary investigations. Still a conventional medical specialist cannot offer a satisfactory answer for your queries and that is why your doctor said you need not any more go to him. Very often the removal of the plant with its roots is not possible for him. He can maximum suggest another therapy, another machine or another stockings for you. Because the root of your problem lies in your genetics and for time being conventional medicine cannot offer any genetic or constitutional treatment for you. Therefore, I can suggest confidently that you may approach an expert Homeopathic physician known to you, or you can very well get back to me with all your details. I think I can offer cure for your lymphedema. Homeopathy cure YOU and YOU only. With Best Wishes, Chat Doctor. J. VargheseHomoeopath | |
000004782 | Hi, Thanks for writing in. It does seem like an allergy. The tingling in the hands can be due to swelling which can compress the nerves. It's unlikely to cause tingling in your legs.

000004783 | Hello, so there are stones in both of your kidneys, and you are also having pain. Homeopathic and Desi medicines will take longer to act. I would suggest you to go a urologist as you may need HY Chat Doctor.

Thank you | |
000004784 | Hello dear, I can understand your concern. In my opinion the chances of pregnancy are rare because you both were protected i.e., he was using condom, and you were on combined pill.Moreover, true intercourse did not occur as he did not enter into the vagina. So there are rare chances of pregnancy. And missing the pill a few days later might not affect this intercourse. If you had any unprotected sex during the missed pill time then it might pose risk for pregnancy. I suggest you to do a urine pregnancy test a week after missed period for accurate results but not before the expected period. So relax. Avoid stress and check for the period. Best regards...gynecologist | |

000004786 | Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of bumps behind the ears, hair line, chest and had jacuzzi and change of multiple hotels. It is obviously due to either of it as the causative agents were present. Bed bugs usually cause bites more on the extremities and trunk. If jacuzzi had caused such a problem, the things would have been all over the body. Hence, the possibility of it having die to some skin allergy of non-specific cause can be the reason. Consult a Dermatologist and see the causes and get treated if the problem does not resolve in a few days on its own. | |

Otherwise, do back exercise After getting the diagnosis. Different type of exercise for different cause. But take medicine what I suggest you for 3 months. Your pain will subside. Hope my answer will be effective for you. Thanks | |
000004789 | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Blood clots in lung is known as Pulmonary embolism (PE). It is treatable condition. So no need to worry about death. Treatment depends on severity and size of PE. If patient is critical and size of embolism is large then surgical removal of embolus is needed. But if size is small and patient is stable (maintaining blood pressure) then anticoagulants (warfarin, Coumadin etc.) and thrombolytic Chat Doctor. So no need to worry about death, take her to pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks. | |
000004790 | Hi, Your symptoms are highly suggestive of some form of stress or generalized anxiety disorder more than anything organically wrong with either the brain or the ear. If the sounds of music bother you to an extreme extent you may have a condition referred to as biophobia which represents a persons extreme aversion to certain sounds or groups of sounds resulting in a sense of heightened irritability, stress, fear, etc. Basically, it's an extreme emotional state triggered by sonic stimuli. You could benefit from a full and complete physical examination with historical reporting of your symptoms as to when they began and if they were any different in the past but the likelihood of there being anything inside the head or ear causing the problem is almost nil in my opinion. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. | |
000004791 | Hello, The most important thing to know in this situation is what is her weight? If she is growing well, then she is getting enough food, even if it doesn't seem like it to you.

000004792 | Hello, Thanks for writing to us. While on hormone contraception, if antibiotics are used for any purpose, the efficacy of contraception is decreased and failures can occur. If you are pregnant, you should get a definitive reading on HPT if the hormone levels are sufficient. Else, you can go for the blood test for pregnancy as this is more sensitive and specific. I would also ask you to go for a trans-vaginal sonogram to confirm/exclude pregnancy for sure and also to know the status of the pelvic organs. Further management can be planned accordingly. Hope this helps. | |
000004793 | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Blood in spitting can be due to either diseases of oral cavity or due to lung pathology. Sinus disease cause blood from nose, not bleeding in spitting. So better to first Getaway done detailed examination of oral cavity to rule out oral pathology. If this is normal then you are mostly having hemoptysis (blood in sputum). So get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out lung infection and bronchitis. As both of these can cause hemoptysis. So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Sinus pathology is less likely in your case. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |

000004795 | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Masturbation do not have any adverse health or sex effects. Masturbation is natural and even animals do it. For a youngster of age group 13 to 17 masturbation every day is normal. After that also it is normal, but people get engaged in some other activities like games, education, career etc. which are more engaging and energy consuming. There are people who masturbate daily even at middle adulthood. The trouble is lack of knowledge and the anxiety arising out of it. Feeling guilty will trigger anxiety. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http | |
000004796 | Thank you for posting your question. Any fever that is as high as 104, with or without hallucinations does warrant an ER visit. The hallucinations just reinforce the fact that your child needs to be taken to the ER at least to bring her temperature down as quickly as possible. Though it is quite possible that a virus may cause such possible, other causes like a bacterial infection especially a urinary tract infection should be ruled out. Although such high fever is known to cause delirium and altered sensorial in a few patients, if such behavior continues even after the fever has come down, then a brain infection also needs to be ruled out. If you have any more doubts do write back. | |

000004798 | Thanks for the question your description it seems that your child is suffering from Seborrhea dermatitis. Such child Chat Doctor. Usually this condition subsides by the time the child reaches two years of age. Wiping will not help. These lesions are very itchy and scratching causes flaring of the condition.

Please consult your doctor for further support. Good luck. |
