suffered from sinus and allergies... go to allergist once a week... they said i have extreme allergies ... my right nose started bleeding whilie i was driving car out of no where... several hours later its not running but i stuck a q tip inside and its a lot of blood on it... eyes are hurting and tired alot ..taking phentermine on and off for a year... dont know if that has anything to do with anything... tired of suffering with these sinus allergy issues...
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Allergic rhinitis (allergies of the nasal passages) and allergic sinusitis (allergies of the sinus passages) can be associated with nasal bleeding due to inflammation of the passages. Phentermine is not normally associated with these side effects. It would be best to avoid using a q tip in the nose as this may cause further damage. I hope this helps

Hello, I have studied your case. Due to fall on hard surface sacrum may be injured. Due to microtrauma there may be fibrosis formation. Do hot fomentation over sacrum. It will take weeks to months to subside. Use ring cushion and take site bath [sitting in lukewarm water for 10 min]Take analgesic like Nicosia 90 once daily along with tab methylcobalamine 1500 mcg once daily consulting your doctor. If not relieved with all these methods then local injection may be required. You can take this consulting your doctor. Clinically spinal origin of pain needs to be ruled out, if required MRI spine can be done. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care

My husband has a large amount of blood after an erection and then passes large blood clots, which is a mix of semen and blood. Usually, it takes between 3 - 6 hours of soaking in a tub before these clots finally all come out. Hes already had surgery twice where the doctor have put gel and wire in his main artery because they found it tore. Now it is still happening and we are wondering if something might be done?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. Most commonly, these symptoms indicate prostatitis or epididymitis sometimes, and rarely it may be signed of STD infection. You should avoid intercourse for till symptoms Persia. And Chat Doctor. If symptoms persist it would be good to do prostate ultrasound and check your PSA levels to rule out prostate tumor or hypertrophy and further treatment depends on these findings. In most cases it can be controlled with medications but sometimes, in case of tumor, open surgery is required. And severe benign hypertrophy may be managed endoscopically, so you should consult urologist about appropriate options. I hope I have answered you query. . Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

So the left side of my neck right under my jaw hurts a little when I touch it, and when I tilt my head up. Not bad, just enough to be irritating. Also, I ve been feeling like there s a lump there, and at a certain point if I tilt my head down and to the right I actually have a little bump like when your joints crack. I can feel the bubble like sensation move and feel like a pop in my neck when I do this. I went to the doctors a few months ago with severe front neck pain when I spoke, turned my head certain ways, or swallowed, and the physician gave me some kind of muscle straining test, and with no other concerns, left it at that. Now the pain is back but not as severe with the bubble feeling, when I press on the left it s painful, but not on the right. I m not really worried, but I want to know before I go for another emergency room visit if I ve done something to my neck?
Hello, I can understand your concern. As you are feeling the lump right under your left jaw, it is possible that you have a swollen submandibular lymph node. As it might be infected, you feel pain when you touch it. This lymph node can be infected due to presence of infection in the throat or in the oral cavity. As you are also having pain while swallowing, more chances are there of throat infection and tonsillitis. In that case, you should visit an ENT specialist to have a look at your tonsils and prescribe you antibiotics if infection is present. If the ENT specialist finds everything fine with the throat, you should consult a dentist to examine your oral cavity to find focus of infection present in the oral cavity. If infection is present in mouth like tooth decay, treatment of the infection will relieve you of pain and discomfort. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish you feel better soon. Best,

It is about my daughter. She is 30 years old. she recently experienced what the doctor called a vassal vagal. Her blood pressure spikes for no apparent reason for short periods of time. When she goes to bed she feels like her heart is fluttering. Side note my brother had two major heart attacks at age 46. My Grandfather on my Dad s side died of a heart attack and my Grandmother on Dad s side had a pace maker. My grandfather on Mom s side had heart disease. what can I say or do to get my daughter to go to a specialist?
Howell come to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, vasovagal syncope cant be itself because there are many apparent reasons behind this and without that it may not be vasovagal attack and this need to be ruled out and this is only possible when patient clinically examined and history elicited, but this is self limiting because this is malaise mediated which directly related with vagus nerve, vasovagal attack causes low blood and not high blood pressure, your sister may not be having any cardiac disease, still it is advisable to get done cardiac evaluation test, in short this is nothing to worry, take care.

Hello, my name is Jocelyn and i am 17 years-old. Im looking for a doctors advice because my mom wont listen to me no matter what i tell her. I havent slept at all tonight because ive had this god awful stomach pains to the fact that i feel like crying. It started out with my lower back hurting for about 3 days and it still does hurt but not as bad and now i feel like i have to constantly poop and vomit. I also have really bad dizziness and I feel really weak. I recently went to the bathroom, and it still didnt help anything, and when i looked it after i wiped it looked like coffee grounds in diarrhea. Not to be gross but im actually starting to get a little nervous. Can you please help?
Hi. Thanks for an elucidated history. Yes, you have a problem-this is gastroenteritis. The dizziness is suggestive of an active infection with loss of electrolytes into the intestine (the reverse process due to infection). You need to consult a Doctor for clinical examination, blood pressure and pulse rate. You may need IV antibiotics and supportive medicines as there is vomiting also. Request your Mother to take you to ER

I got kicked in the forearm during martial arts sparing and had a huge bruise. It was tender to touch and bruise lasted almost 2 weeks. Normal so far. After that I felt a small lump near bruise site that cause sharp pain when touched. After messing with it the other day, overnight the area swelled to larger than a golf ball size. It hurts to push on it or if I lean on a table or desk. Not hot to touch and not bruised or red. Swelling went down a bit in the last 3 days. Should I wait it out?
U might have a collection of blood at the trauma site. As per your history luckily it hasn't got an infection. Still have an X-ray of forearm to rule out minor fracture. But if it becomes hot or u get fever, consult a surgeon.

I am 59 yrs old male. I take telmisarten 40mg od, atorvastin 10 mg od , feburic 40 mg half tab od, calcium 500 and multivitamin daily. Recently after eating little heavy diner I feel little heavynes in chest but feels relived if a additional dose of telmisartan 40 mg is taken. I drink 2 pegs of whisky not more than 5 days a week.
Taking an extra dose of Telmisartan without a doctors approval based on high BP is extremely dangerous. The first diagnosis of chest pain in your case after a heavy meal would be angina. I would recommend you do an ECG, echo and stress test. If all negative, start a Proton pump inhibitor and avoid alcohol.

I am a 76 year old female, always in good health,, with regular check ups, good labs, etc. Today I learned that my regular blood test showed a drop in Hemoglobin from 11.5 to7.5.

The lab tests did not indicate elevated WBCs.Thanks, (I am also an RN.

Hi, I went to get an MRI as I was having myclonic jerks during my sleep. Here is the result of the MRI. 1.Multiple scattered punctate foci of T2/Flair hyperintensities within the subcortical white matter are more than expected for patient s age (39) but nonspecific. These may reflect sequela of migraine headaches, mild age-advanced microvascular ischemic disease if the the patient has known vascular risk factors, or remote infectious/inflammatory etiology. 2. Left Choroial fissure cyst 1.5 x .8 x .7cm is an incidental finding of no clinical significance 3. Otherwise unremarkable Brain MRI Should i be concern with the 2 findings as I am still having issues with the myclonic jerks during my sleep
Hi there, Thank you for writing to us. You are most likely having what is called as hypnotic jerks. These are a form of myoclonic jerks that happen when one is asleep. This is something that is normal and nothing to worry about a great deal. In fact this is something that is very common, and even I experience them myself. The findings that you are having on your MRI is not something that concerns me and this should not be causing you the myoclonic jerks by any stretch of the imagination.Therefore, I would recommend that you should just relax as there is nothing a great deal to worry about. Kindest Regards.

"i have a bump it hurts and wheni applied pressure on it some puss came out. it is locolized over a broken baby tooth. i have had one before. both times when they had started my dentist said that he would not fill them because they are baby teeth. it hurts
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. In your query you have not mentioned your age. If all your permanent teeth are erupted, you have to get the baby tooth removed. The pus and pain suggests an abscess formation in relation to the tooth which has to be removed. If the permanent are not erupted, then you can go for lumpectomy to save the tooth till the permanent tooth erupts. Antibiotics on advice from the dentist is to be taken. Do salt water gargling. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.

I am currently in my second year of treatment for NH Lymphoma and CLL. I take rituxin every three months now. Recently, I have again started to have night sweats, extreme fatigue, shortness of breath and loose stools that look like coffee grounds. I have had spells of dry heaves when I attempt to eat or drink and have a constant feel of fullness. Does this mean my cancer is getting worse? I have a scan in June that showed everything is looking goo.
Hi thanks for your question. Based on my experience this could be side effects of lymphoma treatment not that cancer is becoming worse. You need to urgently see oncologist for further evaluation and management. Hope I answered your question, will be happy to help you if you have other queries.

What does Fatty liver grade 3 lead to ? 4. Is there any cure for the disease ? 5. What is the line of medication ? 6. Is there any dos & donts ?
Hello USG findings indicate fatty changes in liver. Most commonly it is due to obesity and sedentary life. It is also related to alcohol intake etc. I suggest investigations like routine hologram, Random blood sugar(RBS), Liver function test(LFT), Lipid profile, Renal function test(RFT) to my patients. You should try to lose your weight as you are overweight. Fatty liver is a reversible condition, and it can be reversed by diet and lifestyle changes. You may need some medicines after full investigations. It may take 6-8 months to reverse the findings. You should be active in your daily life. You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products. Cook food in olive or canola oil. You should also avoid fried and junk food. Take a lot of fruits and vegetables and increase your physical activity in the form of walking and exercise.

Hi, I have a brother who is currently incarcerated. When I went to visit him today, he told me about a lump on his chest. He also told me that the doctor there was giving him medication but was telling him the wrong name of the medicine. I was just wondering, arent they suppose to do some type of exam on him to determine what it is before they just give him medication for it. The reason I ask this is because he told me that they said it was nothing that they could do. So I was wondering if they were suppose to diagnose him with something before just giving him medication?
Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The history is a bit inadequate, as you have not described the lump and its location on the chest, however I will try to explain to you the possible causes.2. The most possible cause could be infective etiology, hair follicular infection with collection within - which needs antibiotic in early UN complicated condition, where late and complicated needs excision.3. Other possible cause will be lipomas which needs to monitored unless until symptomatic where excised.4.Finally, bone lesions arise on the chest wall, and hernias. Which need to examine and do needful treatment.5. An ultrasound scan will help in the assessment of the nature of the lump, its source and extensions.6. Suggest to get examined and diagnosed and treated appropriately.7. Probably the doctor would have visually able to make out the type of lump he is dealing so started treatment. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask do not hesitate to ask.http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

Hi My Dad 61 yrs old is had a back pain complains so after and MRI the result is L5/S1 DISC - posterial protrusion indenting the thecal sac and impinging on the traversing roots at the lateral recess; mild bony canal narrowing is present. L4/5 Disc - Diffuse posterior budge with annular tear indenting the thecal sac and touching the traversing roots at the lateral recess. L3/4 Disc - Posterior central protrusion indenting the thecal sac and impinging on the traversing roots at the lateral recess. Whole spine survey: c3/4 and c5/6 discs - posterior protrusion indenting the thecal sac and cord . no cord edema seen. - is surgergy necessary for this?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor Psychiatry from India. I have read your question carefully and understood it. Furthermore, I can understand your concern. Furthermore, I will try my best to answer your query. The condition you are mentioning here is called prolapse intervertebral disc with neuronal compromise. I will make you understand this disease. Our vertebral column is a bony structure which is made up of many bones called vertebrae. Vertebral column is hollow towards posterior side to accommodate spinal cord. In between two vertebrae there is a cartilaginous disc which is a main part of vertebral joint. Sometimes due to wear and tear or injury to vertebra, an intervertebral disc gets prolapsed and bulges posteriorly. If this prolapse is severe then this disc may impinge upon the spinal cord and emerging spinal nerves roots. This condition is dangerous as it may cause paralysis of lower portion of body. In your fathers' case it is more complicated due to multiple levels of involvement at both cervical (neck) and lumbar region. Sooner or later surgery may be required. I suggest you to follow the advice of his treating neurosurgeon who may advise correctly the right time of surgery according to functional capacity of your father. I wish your father a better health.

Hi, I just had a tooth extracted, bottom molar (#19) and it was about 13 hours ago. I am still feeling numbness, but that is not the biggest concern because it is slowly going away. I have always had trouble clotting and the oral surgeon put collagen in this time to help it clot? Im not sure what that all means. Anyhow, it bled for hours, even though I was using gauze properly for 30-40 minute periods. Finally, all blood stopped. However, I dont think I have a clot. I have seen clots before and this doesnt look like my many other extractions. I shined a flashlight on it and it is brown, white and flat. There is no hole in the extraction site, but its not a clot either. Should I go back to the oral surgeon tomorrow or should I wait two days. I am just wondering if he can do something as to form a clot. I have trigeminal neuralgia and dental visits are so terrifying to me, but pain is worse. I have taken abided by all advise from office. I only drank cold drinks and NOT from a straw. I have only had cold pudding, jello and a mashed up banana today. I have not spit, rinsed or brushed my teeth. Any words of wisdom?? I feel like crying. Pain in any part of my mouth will trigger my Trigeminal Neuralgia.
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth don't worry much, if you feel like bleeding or foul smell from extraction socket, then you consult your dentist immediately, As you said that you have said that are not brushing your teeth after 24 hours of extractions you can Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, do mouthwash twice daily, to maintain good oral hygiene, Hope this will help you. Wish you good health

my boyfriend went to the dentist because his tooth cracked, the dentist said it wasnt a root canal so they cleaned it and then put a grown on it, the grown felt loose so he went back and they did some more things to the tooth and then put another grown on it, he wont get his perm. grown till 5/6/2014. ever since he left the dentist on 4/18/2014 he has had this horrible pain he says he feels like the nerve. they said it shouldnt be hurting so he is going back tomorrow, i feel like they dont know what they are doing, every time he goes there for help they just add more pain. is this normal to have this pain while having a temp. grown on the tooth or is something wrong? please help
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually when a tooth is fractured horizontally, and the fractured line goes between crown and root of teeth then you should go for root canal treatment of tooth. But if the fracture of tooth is vertical, or it is below the root level or in between root, then you should go for removal of tooth. Because in these fractures no fillings or crown is helpful. So better you should go for removal of his tooth. Hope it will help you.

Hi,My name is Jon. You can consider me as a health freak since the start of this year. The reason being is that I just had an episode of high cholesterol, including stressful situations in office, therefore experiencing heart palpitation, nausea, sweaty hands and hard of breathing.Thank God, I had a change of mindset (coz i dont wanna die) and had to eat proper foods (mainly vegetables, fish, no dairy products,and lots of fruits) and exercise. After 3 months, things got back to normal, except the feeling of anxiety. I thought then its an blood ph imbalance, so i ate more fruits, but to no avail. Ive had my insides/abdomens checked (ultrasound),all are normal, had my liver and kidneys checked, results are normal,had my triglycerides and cholesterol checked, normal,except for LDL (.5 units lower than the lowest in range, i think its caused by lots of jogging). There was this time wherein i physically felt as if the anxiety just turned off without any reason at all, and it lasted for 2.5 weeks, then it turned on again. I hate this feeling. It feels like there s an impending doom, therefore causing me to have sleepless nights. I dont know what kind of doctor do i have to go to, hematologist? endoctrinologist? nutritionist? can you please guide me on this?Jon
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety. Low cholesterol levels can contribute in sleep disturbances and in anxiety too. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a specialist of this field (psychotherapist or psychiatrist), who can help you to deal with your anxiety professionally. Yoga and meditation can help too. I would also encourage you to continue on your healthy diet and your daily physical activity. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,

is letsi tab helps in concieving baby soon.i want to get pregnant soon dr prescribe me letsi2.5mg tab. my age is 25yrs, wt-51kg,i had d n c on oct 15 now i am trying to concieve my reports are normal.after intercourse sperm comes out from me is it means i am not concieving.plz help me
Hi, I think it is normal for the semen to come out of vagina after contact. This will not prevent pregnancy, because sperms can swim up into the uterus even if it is in contact with your vagina for few minutes. Lie down after contact for 10 to 15 minutes. Lets tablets help in the growth of your follicles and induce ovulation. So, it increases the chance of pregnancy. You can track your ovulation by repeated ultrasound or ovulation detection kits. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. It will increase chances of your pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question.

hi my doctor said that one of my fallopian tubes is bent but last time he checked it, he said he straightened it but said it would stay straight for only about months until it goes back to being bent again. this was a year ago when he made it straight and is been over 6 months now. me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant and I was not able to conceive even though I was told I have good quality eggs and I am fertile. We tried now with insemination for the first time and it hasnt worked. what could be the problem? please help
Hi, It is not clear from your history what your doctor meant when he said he straightened your fallopian tube, if there were any adhesions which were lased. There are several factors which are responsible for failure to conceive, and tubal factor is one of the most important. I would suggest a proper evaluation by an infertility specialist. You need to test for tubal patency and tubal motility. If nothing can be done, IVF is the ideal solution. Without tubal propulsion of the ovum, insemination is not going to help any better. Hope this helps.

hi iv just discoverd a bump at the back of my mouth on my gum next to my my tooth and when i poked it really bad smelling puss came out its the same sort of smell my breth had when i had a throte infecion once im not sure what it is? im 20 and have had teeth out in the past and braces and this week i have been to the dentist she said i had a cavity but that was on a different tooth and iv only found this bump a second ago feels like an ulser but really smells
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. The bump at the back of your mouth could be due to periodontal pocket, an abscess that contains bacteria and pus in it.Also, due to presence of braces many a time it is difficult to maintain hygiene and results in decay.Therefore, in my view you must seek your dentist help in this regard and get the suitable treatment done. The earlier, the better it is, in case of gum problems and tooth decay. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.

Hit symptoms can include a productive cough and fever, but it could just be bronchitis. You need to see a doctor for an exam and tests since you probably need a course of antibiotics

Hello, I believe I recently came down with the flu as it started suddenly with a sore throat and body aches through the upper back and neck . Spent yesterday with a mild fever and lots of coughing. I am an asthmatic so the added inflammation in my bronchial passageways is less than pleasant to say the least. Today I feel like I am on the up&up and the cough is no longer producing white sputum , but when I cough hard there is a metallic-type taste in my mouth. I figured it s normal since I spent the better part of 48 hours, day and night, hacking my lungs out. Anyway, is this normal or something to be concerned about? Thanks so much! -Jonathon
Hi, Viral fevers are known to be debilitating and sap a persons' energy quickly. They manifest as anything from colds, to cough, to fever, to gastric disturbance and body aches. Altered taste in the mouth, or in your case, metallic taste is one of the symptoms of a viral infection because a virus can affect your sense of taste. Also, since you are an asthmatic, it is also possible that this added infection has caused you to breathe predominantly from your mouth making it Chat Doctor. Deny

The dr prscribed these as she had a bad chest cold that bordered on asthma. we also nebulise her three times a day.unfortunately i have contracted the flu and baby seems to be getting sick again. i was wanting to know if we could give her ponstan syrup for babies .... can this be used for coughs and colds. her nose is quite runny now ...PLEASE ADVISE
Hi, As per your statement you are taking treatment for your 10-week-old daughter for Bronchial asthma - that means your child has respiratory infection associated with cold and bronchial spasm (difficulty in breathing). It is a common phenomenon. As you are suffering from flu and your child has recurrent attack it is better to consult a pediatrician for further management. She may need change of antibiotic. Bronchi dilator can be given till difficulty in breathing (asthma) stops. Regarding prednisolone, it has to be given in tapering dose and that too with the advice of the Chat Doctor. Constant may take care of fever associated body pain. Regarding your child a review by the pediatrician and simultaneous treatment for you by a physician is a must.

I m a woman who s 37 years old for the past 8 month I have experience sharp pains under my left boob . I been to the hospital had my heart check and was told it s ok , my family doctor said it was a floating rib then 1 month later it changed to gurd I was given medication that done nothing for me . I went back and was told it was my gallbladder so I rushed to the hospital only to find out my gallbladder was perfect and nothing was wrong didn t even have gallstones , today I woke feeling in pain like I was having a heart attack rushed into the hospital only to be told to give a pee sample , the sample came back their was blood in my pee . And once again to go see my family doctor what is the cause of my chest pain it feels like it s heart attack ?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about heart attack because your heart related reports are normal. You are having blood in urine. So possibility of kidney infection or stone is more. In both these conditions, pain and blood in urine are present. So better to get done ultrasound examination of abdomen to rule out kidney related problems. Of this is also normal than no need to worry about any major diseases. Your chest pain is mostly due to musculoskeletal cause, may be due to floating rib. So apply warm water pad on affected areas. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Avoid movements causing pain and strenuous exercise. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello.thanks for trusting the Chat Doctor doctors for your health related queries. I guess your concern is about.remedy for getting pregnant...right.well.there are plenty of remedies in the present world. One of them u have already tried during your first baby.right.as u told that, you are taking overall, it's given for regularization of menses. Once periods will regular, chances of getting pregnancy is increased.that's why your treating doctor prescribed u.lastly want to say that, YES.there are chances of getting pregnant with natural formula, as u know 14th day formula. It is also called fertile period(it is from 10th to 16th day of cycle) during this period chances of getting pregnant is high. Because on the 14th day ovulation occurs(follicle rupture n ovum comes out), so that we doctor advice to do coitus from 2 days before n after this 14th day, so that sperm can fertilize the ovum n pregnancy will happen. With the above discussion u can try out my suggestions-1. DON'T WORRY.RELAX, u can get pregnancy with natural methods. There is chances.2. Once your menses will regular, chances of getting pregnancy will increase spontaneously. So regularize the menses then try the 14th day formula.3. If u r in hurry then visit to nearby infertility specialist.he/she can help u out. Regards- Chat Doctor. )

Also my HBsAG confirmation is positive abnormal but my HBsAg screen indicated negative... what does this mean, Im very confused.Thank you
HelloThanks for asking query on Chat Doctor. Transient elevation of transaminase (GOT/SGPT) during an episode of cold could be secondary to a viral illness or tablets you might have taken for cold. But point of concern is Bag confirmatory test being positive, it needs evaluation like HBV DNA level, E antigen and Ultrasound of abdomen. You need to meet your gastroenterologist/physician for further evaluation.

I am 27 weeks pregnant. I had a runny nose and sore throat last Friday. The sore throat went away, but my nose completely clogged for 5 days. I took a benadryl but it is still clogged. I used Afrin once, but it is still clogged to the point where I havent tasted food for 5 days and I can barely get any mucous out when I blow it.
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that you have upper respiratory tract infection also known as Common cold that is viral infection and as you are pregnant you can take only limited medications.Also, viral infection is self limiting and resolves within a day. You can take antibiotics like Amoxicillin to prevent secondary bacterial infection. Take Tylenol for pain. Do warm saline gargles, steam inhalations, saline nasal irrigation and use a humidifier in your room to breathe moist air, and it will soothe the nose and throat. You can take plenty of warm fluids and take sufficient rest. Do warm compresses over the chest and around the nose.avoid chilled and spicy foods. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.

Hi, I went through your query and can understand your distress. From what you have mentioned, you seemingly are suffering from depression which explains your negative thoughts and even suicidality. Since you have already attempted to harm yourself, I would suggest that you should seek a psychiatric consultation without any further delay. You should also talk with you family members regarding your symptoms. In case of depression, treatment with anti-depressants like venlafaxine or Escitalopram would be highly effective. In your case, the treatment should be started as soon as possible. I hope that you found the answer helpful. Best wishes.

My 14 year old daughter ( who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia last year) is experiencing muscle weakness in her legs, dizziness, extreme fatigue and problems with cognitive function. MRI s of the brain and spine are normal. Hypoglycemia has been ruled out. She is taking physical therapy twice a week. She walks most of the time with a cane or walker. At times she seems to be improving physically but then has a crash and gets worse again. We re having problems getting appointments with specialists because tests are normal. I m researching everything I can; can you suggest any possible causes or specific tests to run?
Her history is very suggestive of myopathy. Whether it is isolated or associated with other CNS feature will need detail examination. I would have asked for muscle biopsy and CSF examination as well. These tests need specialist doctors. Try to get early visit.

I have been told I have COPD. I have been having problems for 2 months. I am now having trouble coughing until I throw up, I am on Advair , Albuterol, Sinus medicine, and Muscus relief. Is there anything that will stop this coughing. My broncial tubes are very sore.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. But COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a disease in which due to airway inflammation, sputum production is continuous. If infection is there then sputum production is more. So antibiotic may be needed in your case. I also advise you to enroll in pulmonary rehabilitation center where Chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercise Are done. This will help you in clearing your secretions easily. You can also try bucolic and expectorant like N acetyl cysteine (NAC), Aerosol and guifenacine. Zince all these are prescribed Chat Doctor.

I am 24 years of old and recently I got a problem in the back spinal cord and it pains in the middle of the back/lower back in the evening and in the morning when I gets up from the bed. I do sleep on a normal bed which is not too hard or soft. But recently when I have done an x- ray of a spine, I got a review written disc reduction space by l5-S1. And there is a light pain. I do get cold often for which I m taking homeopatChatDoctoredicines. But it is have some connection with spine and I do sometimes stitching of clothes. Or is it related to that, and it puts pressure on spinal cord. Or some sitting posture. Please do guide me.
Hi, L5-S1 space reduction is an incidental finding but the pain you are experiencing in the back is probably due to ACUTE LS STRAIN.(due to your nature of job. Sitting for prolonged period for quite some time causes spasm of para spinal muscles which causes the pain). TREATMENT:1) LS corset (belt) to be used when you are stitching clothes.2) LOW BACK exercises to be done about twice a day.3) Victorian gel for local applicaton4) hot water fomentation This will take care of your problem.

Hello: I am a 61 year old woman, 5 6 , 148 pounds. I have been taking 10mg Lipitor for about 3 years. I m very worried about the diabetes risk as well as the possible link between tendon/ligament damage..I have been dealing with Plantar Fascitiis (painful heels) for 18 months & recently diagnosed with tarsal tunnel in both feet. I have been a very active person until recently due to the foot ailments getting worse. Do you feel the Lipitor has a link to my feet concerns?

Other side effects include: urinary tract infection, insomnia, limb pain, muscle spasm, musculoskeletal pain, myalgic, and nausea. See below for a comprehensive list of adverse effects.

is it always possible to become pregnant the first time you have sex?
Not necessarily. Pregnancy depends upon on females' ovulation & males sperm union. After females ovulation the female egg remains fertile for 72 hours. After ejaculation males sperm live alive & active for 24 to 48 hours for fertilization. If males sperm & females egg unite & fertilize during that period, then & then pregnancy takes place.

My blood type is O+ and I was married previous and my pervious husband also was O+. I was pregnant for several times and I never get sick though out my previous pregnancies. After I got divorce I got remarried for a new husband and his blood type A+ and we decide to have a new baby then after I get pregnant I became very sick, I was having high fever, vomiting a lot, and tireless which I never had this symptoms before. My question is since my new husband and I have different blood type is that the cose of my sickness?
Hi, No a different blood group should not cause you to have such symptoms. A different blood of a new husband could probably give you a slightly increased chance of high blood pressure, and pre-eclampsia in the later part of pregnancy. Fever, vomiting and tiredness, could be an infection unrelated to pregnancy. You should see a physician and get blood test to check for infections and take medicines for fever and the other symptoms. Do discuss the safety of medicine during pregnancy before taking them. Hope this helps. Regards.

Could you help please. I have had a blood test carried out this morning as a further continuing blood test plan which was required as the result of a sudden viral failure (caused by a reaction to antibiotics). This occurred seven weeks ago. My eGFR was 4 six weeks ago is now 33. Other values such as Creatine are approaching normal. My GP is impressed with my recovery and results in the main are trending towards the normal range and he has taken me off Dialysis. I have had repeated blood tests every 2 days during dialysis, and now weekly since 12-06-2017. However my platelet count is today 138 x 10^9 /L. (Normal range is 150-400). This was 160 on 12/06/2017 and 167 on 19-06-2017? Is this serious and what can I do to assist returning to the prior OK values? This is a rapid drop - maybe the lab test today are faulty? Possible solution is wait a week for the next test? Please advise.
Platelet count of 138000/CMM, is not at all a serious issue. It may be transient Chat Doctor. There is no need to take any active measures to increase it to more than 150000/CMM. It is best to repeat a platelet count after 1 week. But if you have any bleeding complaints don't wait for long. Get the platelet count done urgently. Hope I have answered your question.

hi,I am 25 year old i am trying to concive last 7-8 month my husband test normal then doc. say me follicur study then on 14th day doctor say ovaculation is the my reports good or bad? can i conciving this time? but this time only one time sexwith us.
Yes your report is normal since follicular study on 14th day showed ovulation. The sperm lives up to 3-5 days in the female genital tract. The lifespan of ovum is 24 hours. So if you have had sex within 5 days before the date of ovulation or on the day of ovulation you can conceive this time. To increase your chances of conception you need to have healthy lifestyle i.e. stop smoking if you are a smoker. Should not Chat Doctor. Your BMI should be around 25. If it is more you need to reduce weight. One more important thing is you should have regular intercourse 2-3 times/ week. If you don't conceive in 3-4 months time period consult your doctor and get the fallopian tube patency test done. If you have any further queries feel free to ask me. Good luck

For several months now, I have experienced excessive mucus drip in the back of my throat, yet cannot expectorate it. My throat is sore and the middle of my tongue has a raised ridge that appears to be white. Also, I experience some difficulty swallowing when the mucus is flowing. I have a history of allergies, but this is new. I also have asthma that is under control. Over the counter medications for allergies have not given me relief. I have considered food allergies and have limited the mucus producing food products such as dairy products, but still daily I am swallowing mucus and cannot cough it out. Please advise. Thank you.

I am 41 yrs old & have type 2 diabetes & recently lost about 15 lbs for no reason. I have been eating better but not that much better & I have a stressful new job that could be the culprit but im scared b/c i know my body & i usually dont just shed 15 lbs in 2 mths with little to no effort. I am drinking more water lately but dont know if thats from the diabetes symptoms or not. Im scared something more serious might be wrong with me. I also pee frequently but I always have even before being dx w/diabetes,i went from 155 lbs down to 140 which is great but im scared b/c i usually have to work much harder to lose weight
Hello, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given and do understand your concern. However, there is no mention blood glucose level (fasting or PP) and HbA1c%, so there is no way to know whether diabetes is well controlled or not. Secondly no mention ChatDoctor. Persons with diabetes do lose weight at times fairly rapidly, particularly when it is uncontrolled with high blood glucose. That causes excess glucose loss through urine as well as increased frequency of toilet visits including getting up at night. In a well controlled diabetic FBG should be If blood glucose is not well controlled eating well can actually lead to more of glucose loss through urine. So my suggestion is please check your fasting, PP glucose levels and HbA1c% and try to bring those in the above recommended range. Then weight reduction will stop. Strict blood glucose control is the remedy. Thanks

just wondering what t oexspect next he is loosing the use of his body functions and very week he is forgetting who we are and has gone down hill rapidly in the last weekhe is 56 and has been fighting throat cancer for 2yrshe weighs maybe 100 and is 510
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand his condition and problem. His symptoms like forgetfulness, weakness, loosing body functions etc. suggest possibility of brain metastasis. Throat cancer is mostly squamous cell carcinoma. And it can spread to brain in some cases. So we need to rule out brain metastasis in his case. Get done MRI brain first to rule out brain metastasis. If MRI is normal then following are the possible causes. 1. Electrolyte disturbance 2. Acute psychosis etc. So first get done MRI brain to rule out brain metastasis and then consult psychiatrist.

My daughter is 23 year old. Finished college and just starting to work in her field. She was in an accident 2 i/2 months ago where she hit her face on the steering wheel of her car.

Im a 48 1/2 yr old female experiencing dull pain at the right side belly button which feels worse about 30 minutes after eating. I feel almost all the time. I moticed it about 6 weeks ago but feels worse now. My right ovary was removed 7 years ago during a complete hysterectomy, although the left ovary remains. I went to a doctor who took an abdominal x-ray and blood work and found that my appendix looked normal, and no elevated white blood cell count, although he did find a renal stone that has since passed. I had my last colonoscopy 3 years ago with only a non-cancerous polyp found in the rectum. Im very concered, to the point of not eating. Can you help me, please? Thank you.
Hi, If your appendix was fine and no elevated white blood cell count, then, the pain you are experiencing might be related to: - stones/crystal in kidney/ureters - urogenital infection- colitis suggest to run further tests including: - abdominal ultrasound-urine analysis-vaginal swab testing and pap smear-repeat colonoscopy- do fecal occult blood testing to further evaluate your condition. Depending on the test results, the most appropriate treatment will be prescribed. Meanwhile, I advise to:- often eat and small portions-avoid gas-forming foods (beans, cabbage, etc)- do not lay down immediately after eating- Chat Doctor.
