000000700 | Hi The legs have two sets of veins, deep veins and superficial veins (close under the skin), blood goes from the superficial to the deep veins. Clots usually form in the deep veins though they can occur in the superficial veins as well. Whereas the arteries in our bodies have thin muscle our veins do not, and they rely on the contractions of the surrounding muscles to return the blood to the heart. Some persons with a history of DVT can have a complication called post thrombotic syn Chat Doctor. Some symptoms of this include | |
000000701 | Lifestyle modifications help to improve risk factors for heart disease. However, cardiac arrhythmia like Atrial Fibrillation needs to be evaluated and find the reason for it. The electrical channels in the heart can not be changed with lifestyle modification, but it helps specially if you lose weight that will help the heart to work less. The heart muscle repairs when you have a good aerobic exercise. | |

000000703 | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, this can be due to allergic disease like asthma or allergic bronchitis because you are improving with Zyrtec (cetirizine). Cetirizine is antihistamine and used widely for allergy. In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT is must for the diagnosis of asthma and allergic bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. Combination of anti histamine and anti-allergic (montelukast) is more beneficial than antihistamine alone. Inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are the mainstay of treatment for breathlessness. Don't worry, you will be alright. No need to worry about low circulation. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |
000000704 | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. A calcified lesion is most often due to a healed tape worm infection, called as neurocysticercosis. Since the worm is already dead, as suggested by calcification, albendazole is not necessary. The visual symptoms could be a sign of seizure, and it may be due to the location of lesion in the occipital lobe. So, Extol may have to be restarted and continued for long. Tingling in knee is an unrelated problem. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. | |

As per your complaint and presentation of symptoms if you are suffering from recurring infection of the parotid gland and the antibiotics that you are taking is not providing you relief that means the infectious organisms are resistant to the antibiotics or the infection is not bacterial in nature and the antibiotics can only treat bacterial infections. The enlarged cervical lump nodes are due to infection itself, and you need to consult an ENT expert and get evaluated, and he can advise you to get a blood investigation as well as saliva investigation done to rule out the causative organisms. Culture and sensitivity testing will also be advised to rule out the exact stain of bacteria or virus causing the infection and treatment can be done targeting the same. Biopsy is commonly advised to rule out the exact cause of swollen lymph nodes which can be benign or malignant in nature. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. | |

000000753 | Hello!!! Thanks for posting your query with us. I wish you had described the tests a bit more clearly. I'm guessing the doctor did an X-ray plus some blood tests and all came clean. The pain in the middle back - Is it right under the shoulder bone (wing like scapula bone) at the back?? If yes then the pain could be due to an alteration of the scapula bone. This happens because of weakness in the scapula thoracic muscles. You can probably go to a physical therapist and get a few sessions of ultrasonic therapy and icing to take care of the swelling. Also, how old is she?? Does she have any chest infection as then she needs a physician right away? You can help her strengthen the scapulothoracic muscles by finding the following exercises online.1. Scapular Retraction2. Shoulder Bracing3. Shoulder push-ups standing (push on wall)4. Shoulder External Rotation (actively) As far as the rib cage is concerned if there is nothing wrong with the blood tests and x-rays then make her do some breathing exercises and stretching for the pectoral (chest) muscles. Also make her inflate a balloon 5-10 times a day to strengthen her chest and breathing muscles. Hope this helps her. Give my best wishes!!! | |

000000775 | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Implantable contraceptives like the Implant and Explain, even though they have expiration dates, are effective for even a few months beyond that date. This is because the manufacturer is required to post an expiration date that is actually earlier than when the device truly becomes ineffective. When switching birth control methods, hormonal symptoms are very common. Many of the symptoms that we commonly associate with pregnancy including bloating, breast tenderness, moodiness, weight gain, nausea, headaches and others are common side effects of progesterone based contraceptives (like the Explain) and cannot be distinguished from pregnancy. The only way to know absolutely for sure that you are not pregnant is by performing a urine pregnancy test. Modern pregnancy tests are extremely accurate, and will become positive within 10 days to two weeks after conception. However, the reason your healthcare provider did not require pregnancy test before giving you your new Explain is that, because of the reason I explained earlier, you really were not at risk for pregnancy. So the likelihood of your getting pregnant in between switching from Implant to Explain is close to zero. The symptoms that you are experiencing are likely side effects of your bodies adjustment to the new medication, which will likely subside over time. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that this information was helpful. Best wishes, | |
