The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Im having alot of symptoms all over the place. not sure if all have anything to do with one another but here it is.. I get CRONIC headaches at least every other day. I have a sharp pain in my lower abdomin, back pain, nausea, bloating and it almost feels like a baby is moving in my belly but I took a home pregnancy test and it came back negative. I also have the Mirena IUD [|AI|] Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. All the precautions including birth control pills and IUD are not 100% foolproof in protection against a pregnancy. If I were your doctor, I would go for a serum Chat Doctor determination to rule this out and ultrasound of abdomen if need be. At the same time I would also go for a urine routine/microscopic test along with a culture sensitivity test to rule out an unsuspected asymptomatic UTI and treat it if positive. The headache might not be related to the IUD, and could be a separate entity. I would do all the routine investigations including a blood pressure measurement and serum lipid profile and treat if any abnormality detected. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a 4 year history of L4-L5 & L5-S1 nerve compression, bulging disc & herniation. Has Steroid inections 2 years ago with moderate relief. Pain now bearable, pain/numbness is right leg & foot. For past 6 months have been experiencing constipation, tight anal sphincter. Could this be associated with spinal problems ? [|AI|] Dairy would advise you to be regular with your diet and have more roughage so that there is no constipation. To get rid of constipation you can have Isabel husk, Hagar or trifle, If acutely constipated then have tab. Herbolax 2 at bedtime with hot water. As far as herniation is concerned in Ayurveda we offer Kate vast which has got very good results. Along with this some GGUL combinations are given internally.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi..good evening...Just got out from hospital last week...and my doctor said I have pneumonia??? just got also my sputum culture today and it states there I have moderate growth of enterobacter species...do I have to worry about this sickness??? are there no complictions for this??? [|AI|] Pneumonia is treated by antibiotics. It is chest infection caused by bacteria. If pneumonia does not respond to antibiotics then u need to do culture sensitivity test. This test identifies which antibiotic is sensitive to work for this infection. In most cases pneumonia is a short-term, treatable illness. But frequent bouts of pneumonia can be a serious complication of a long-term (chronic) illness, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Regards Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] im 25 and trying to get pregnant. my husband has just started taking all kinds of medicine to increase his penis size and help build muscle mass and powder to gain. weight and more but I don t want to put it on here.my cycle is has been regular every since we had our first baby. just this month my cycle has been doing really really crazy stuff. so can all of his medication plus unprotected sex 3-4 times a week b messing with my body? [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for the query. Usually the size of genital organs won't influence the fertility. The count and quality of the spermatozoa is more important. Stress and strain and medicines can affect the hormonal levels and can alter the menstrual cycle. So you once consult gynecologist and get examined to find out the cause for irregular periods. After regularization of your periods you can track ovulation and plan intercourse around that time that will increase the possibility of pregnancy. For more details you can ask me through: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, I am a 28 year old male. I have discovered a round lump one of my ribs on the right hand side. it feels roughly 2cm wide. I am unable to move it around if I push it, etc. It is quite tender to touch but not particularly painful when I am not touching it. Im pretty sure it just happened overnight. Any idea what this might be? [|AI|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have lump on rib. It can be bone tumor, soft tissue tumor or cyst. You should go for x-ray first. If it shows any bony lesion then you should go for biopsy. If x-ray is normal then it may be soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma or some cyst. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, Im 18 year old female, Ive been having abdominal pain for a little over a week & now showing some small blood clots in my stool. What do you think it may be. I do need to say I eat everyday where I work. Its cheeseburgers & fries, do you think that may have something to do with my problem [|AI|] Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor forum, It looks like you have infection in stomach, we call it colitis due to any cause either bacteria, protozoa,fungus, helmets.etc., most commonly observed in people eating outside stuff like you eat where you work, so in this situation I usually prescribe my patients with Tab-Oflox-OZ, and advice them not to eat outside food, prepare food at home and eat, or eat food which is cooked and served hot, and water as well Chat Doctor. Regards.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I woke up 2 weeks ago and my back was hurting so bad I had a hard time standing walking or sitting couldn t bend or twist. It s been 2 weeks now and my back still hurts but it has been feeling a little better as to walking and some what bending and twisting. Now I noticed my lower back is splotchy and in center looks yellowish brown and 1 spot that looks like could be a bite. What is the issue and what do I do [|AI|] Howell come to ChatDoctorBackache could be due to spinal condition and this could be spondylitis, disc degenerative disease, muscular spasm, but yellow brown area could be different one and this may not be related with backache and if this need to be ruled out then clinical examination is the only option you have, for the pain you can try "Tab Diclofenac 50 mg sustain release once in day" hope this information helps, take care.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] i am 48 years male and suffering from low platelet count i am also a known case of bicuspid aortic valve server stenosis with aortic regurgitation on 25 mg metaprolol my physician advised me to take wysolone 20 mg morning 20 mg after lunch and 10 mg at night with half tablet of ditide 10 mg in morning at present my platelet count is 90,000 please advise me [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Platelet count of 90000 is not be worried about. It is a bit below the normal limit.2. Due to aortic regurgitation and stenosis, increased risk of thrombus formation and hence low platelet count is possible. Also, ITP and It B12 deficiency needs evaluation.3. Get a bleeding time, and bone marrow study for evaluation of low platelet count for evaluation of immune thrombocytopenic purpura.4. Platelet count below 20000 is serious, otherwise, nothing to worry. Cause needs to evaluate. If severely low, platelet transfusion can be given. Continue all other medications including steroids, ITP could be a major cause. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, I notice a slight pressure in my sternum area, especially after a night of drinking. I do have acid reflux, but I worried as to what this could be. It feels right on the bone area when i move or laugh a certian way, not pain but slight pressure... [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you are having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) mostly. Because this is worsened by alcohol intake. And your symptoms are worse after Chat Doctor. But better to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG. If ECG is normal then no need to worry about cardiac cause. You are having HERD mostly. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. This is further worsened by alcohol. So better to follow these steps for symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid stress and tension. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Start Proton pump inhibitors. 5. Avoid alcohol

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I need to know if I am pregnant. I have been on birth control for a couple months now, however I took the pill late one day by about 8 hours. On this day my Husband and I had sex. He never came in me, and we used a condom about halfway through. I stopped taking my birth control and though it has been two days I still have not had my period. Please help me. [|AI|] Hi, If you have taken just 1 pill 8 hours later, and all your other pills have been regular then it is very unlikely that you are pregnant. Oral contraceptive pills are very effective method of contraception if taken regularly and 8 hours late would not be accountable in case of combined estrogen with progesterone pill. So do not worry you should be getting your period in a weeks time. If not do a pregnancy test after a week and see a gynecologist. Hope this helps. Regards.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi...1--i m 26 year married female n have pcos prblm2--TRYING FOR A chid but conceiving prblm3--my gync suggest me some drug (duphaston 10mg,lupi fsh 75 iu,ovurtrig10000)4--n also doing Follicular study result is - 12th day tvs rt.ov.-f1-1.9*1.2 f2-1.6*1.1cm lft.ov.-1.5*1.2 type 3rd thickness 7mm.i cant undarstand plz describe me . [|AI|] Hollowed under following carefully, and you will receive your answer :The size of follicle should be around 19-20 mm (1.9-2.0 cm) on day 14-15 at least to rupture and liberate ovum. The endometrium thickness must be around 11 mm to conceive. Now about the size of follicle in your case. On day 12th right follicle 1 1.9x1.2 (over ripen) follicle 2 1.6x1.1 cm (may dominant and burst to liberate ovum on day 14-15). Left side 1.5 x1.2 cm (may mature and can burst to liberate ovum). Endometrium thickness is not fit for fertilized ovum (ova). Since you are taking phaeton, FSH hurting, so there is variation in the size of follicles and also premature follicle. So sexual relation is important on day 14 -15 for successful conception. Hope this will help you.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Dear sir, Good Evening. Iam 26 years old, suffering from cold for last few years. Presently iam consuming Frisium 10Mg and Eption tablets to avoid nervous disorder. From Childhood I had a problem of Fitz if i intake some cold food items. Now iam alright, but still i feel i have nervous disorder problem. so can you please advise me what kind of treatment i have to take now. [|AI|] His understand your concern.I do not understand about nervous disorder will you elaborate properly. Eptoin and Frisian are the remedy for convulsion or fits. You mean to sat you have fit in spite of taking this medicines then need to consult your treating doctor. There are many other anti convulsion medication which will help you. If you have nervous disorder like nervousness and anxiety then medicines like anxiolytic and benzodiazepine will help. Require proper evaluation. Still have question then feel free to ask. Thank you

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Ive been having heart palpitations for a few years now. They seem to come in streaks. But last night while lifting weights, my heart was jumping from about 150 bpm to about 280 bpm for 15-30 seconds and then immediately dropping back down. It felt like a lot of blood was being pulled from my face and head. [|AI|] Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you some advises. As you describe my opinion is that we are dealing with a rhythm issue. Someone might feel heart palpitations for different reasons. It may be a simple sinus tachycardia that means that the heart is beating regularly over 100 beats for minute. Its normal resting rate is between 60-100 beat for minute. You may experience palpitations because of extra-sistolyc beats. These is electrical impulses generating from parts of the heart different from normal sinus rhythm. This gives the sensation of an escaped, skipping beat. But there are all sow different rhythm problems like atrial fibrillation ore supra ventricular tachycardia where the heart doesn't beat normal, it suddenly beats fast or in a chaotic way with very high frequencies and this might be what we call atrial fibrillation. My opinion is that lifting weight is not the reason of your palpitations. It's quite known in cardiology that during physical exertion the heart rate raises. Its maximal frequency should go 220 minus your age, and it should slowly go down. But you describe a long history of palpitations and a sudden heart jumping just for some seconds, immediately Chat Doctor. So, I think that we should see what are these rhythm fluctuations. Does this happen even in a resting situation or only when you exercise? If I was your treating doctor I will recommend a blood analyze, your thyroid hormones, an electrocardiography, echocardiogram and of course a holder monitoring to see your rhythm tendency. Ones we have all these we can say what are these palpitations and how to treat them.These is all for a simple check-up to reduce these episodes in the future. Whish I was helpful. Take good care. Best regards

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello, I am a female, age 53. I am feeling pain in my left arm and same side in the back ( whole back up to half)! The pain is more severe in the night and some time during the day! It comes for few days and goes away. This time it is continues from last week! I am under lots of stress. Is it spasm? [|AI|] Slight tearing or spasm of connective tissue around upper back region can cause pain in upper back pain and may radiate to surrounding areas typically as a result of bending, lifting, twisting or shoulders forwards activities or trivial movements, such as picking up a pencil or sneezing. May cause upper back pain with or without symptoms radiating along shoulder, arm, forearm, hand or fingers. Pain may increase on firmly touching the affected level of the spine and spinal movement is often stiff or restricted. Pins and needles or numbness are occasionally present in affected arm or hand. Symptoms may increase with repetitive or prolonged sitting (especially slouched sitting or during computer use), bending, lifting, shoulders forwards activities, coughing or sneezing and are often worse first thing in the morning.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, my father has an enlarged prostate and is affecting his health. His urologist suggested that he should undergo an operation, but first, they must check if his heart is capable of such. So his cardio would like him to undergo angiogram. Is it advisable for him to undergo such process knowing that he is already 76 years old and is diabetic? and What is the difference between 2-D Echo and Angiogram? please enlighten me. thank you. [|AI|] HelloThanks for query. Enlarged Prostate is a disease that affects man after the age of 60 years when most of the men have cardiac problems and diabetes.However, there is no risk in operating after proper evaluation as far as cardiac status and diabetes is controlled. It is not mandatory to do angiogram to assess the cardiac status. The 2D Echo Cardiogram is an ultrasound study of heart and is an invasive procedure and routinely carried out before any surgery in elderly patients to assess the cardiac function and ejection factor whereas angiogram is invasive procedure where radio opaque dye is injected in to femoral vein and mainly done to study the status of coronary arteries (blood vessels supplying blood to heart itself). It is not done if one has to undergo endoscopic surgery for Prostate removal(TURN). Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi I have been on Noriday. Missed one pill on day 8 and haven t stopped bleeding for 30 days straight now. It s not agreeing with me and I m OVER IT!!! Doc said to carry on taking it, but I don t need this and my body doesn t either, clearly its not right for me Vanessa [|AI|] Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. During the initial months of hormone contraception, menstrual irregularities are observed and these include persistent bleeding/spotting, mid-cycle bleeding/spotting, irregular cycles and heavy bleeding etc. These usually settle down after a few months as the body adjusts itself to the new hormone level. If you do not find any respite after managing your diet, weight and styptics, you need to get a complete physical evaluation, hepatic/renal profile, blood counts and coagulation profile, stop the medication and go for a suitable alternative. Hope this helps.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a series of lymphnode swelling all over my bodyI had a stroke a year and a half and the doctors keep changing my medsknow I have swelling all over my body..... in different spots.... I can push them inand leave hand prints... I had a blood test done but when I call I get an answer machine.they say the will have the results after taking them nearly a month ago..... any insight [|AI|] Hello, Lymph nodes all over the body have many vivid reasons as tuberculosis, lymphoma, HIV and others. But according to your narration, it seems like multiple neurofibromatosis most likely; without any reasons, no treatments still I would recommend uploading at least 2 to 3 photos of the said lumps so that I can focus more over the issue. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have just spent 6 days in hospital with what they diagniosed as sereve gastroenteritis- requiring 3 days of fluids and potassium . I had a number of invetsigations due to right sided lower abdo pain - no appendix, results also showed the following, unremarkable cyst in the liver , 2.7cm right adenxal cyst- 2 small further cysts in the uterine fundus. I am going to be having a referral to Gygn locally. I feel very weak, shaky and bit lightheaded, and it feels like my heart is beating heaver than usual as I am more aware of it- all my obs in the hospital once I had had fluids were withing normal limits, CRP less than 1, bloods unremarkable.] How long will I feel like this?? [|AI|] Hello! Thank you for the query. As you have mentioned, right sided abdominal pain should be always checked with appendicitis. And the appendicitis diagnostic is as hard as hell. Nowadays in the edge of CT scans and MRIs we still can not find a way of ruling our appendicitis other than surgery. So if your abdomen ultrasound tells that no appendix was found, it does not mean that you do not suffer from appendicitis. It just means that the doctor couldn't find it at all. If you were treated with antibiotics during the hospitalization, there is a chance that this antibiotic treated your appendicitis for a while. In 50% of appendicitis antibiotics therapy will give positive response. But it does not treat the appendicitis permanently. So the conclusion is, if all others possible reasons of your pain were ruled out, and the pain is not gone, or the pain is recurring, there is a time for surgery to remove your appendix. And by all others diseases I understand: pregnancy, urinary tract infection, urinary tract stones, ovarian infection, ovarian cyst. And if it's about your blood work results, if an antibiotic is given, CRP and WBC will be low. So it does not rule appendicitis out either. Hope this will help. Regards.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello, My name is Rahul, am from Hyderabad, INDIA. My sister (29 years) is suffering from kidney problem. Her serem creatinine level is 9.9mg/dl for now and doctors here say that kidney transplant operation has to be done as soon as possible. But getting the source for kidney is never easy. My entire family is worried about this. I request you to suggest some thing that can help us to save her. I hope you will definitely come up with some positive way to get out of this problem. Please Help! Regards, Rahul [|AI|] Hi, as i don't know what kidney problem is your sister suffering from it is difficult to say whether a kidney transplant is going to solve her problem. Kidney or renal transplant has its own problems and it's not easy to say that is the best of solutions as it itself involves a large amount of expense plus its own known side effects which are very common like a person has to stay on immunosuppressive Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I experience neuropathic symptoms that are like electric jolts traveling along a pathway in my hands and feet. Leavesmy hand and feet aching. I am an ICU RN on my feet many hours but now even on my days off I am having these symptoms. I am healthy. No chronic diseases, no meds but daily vitamins and calcium [|AI|] Hello ! Thank you for the question on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern. In my opinion the troubles you have may be related to a peripheral neuropathy. It usually starts only in the feet but pain and paresthesia occur during rest and movement. I would recommend you to consult a neurologist, have a good neurological examination and a full blood work. An electroneurography would be very helpful for the examination or peripheral nerves. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I am a 57 year old female who lives in central Texas (all of my life). I had a surgical procedure 1 year ago that removed my gallbladder and corrected a bad para esophageal hernia. Much relief was given to my digestive system for a couple of months but my stomach remains boated, feeling of quick fill after eating is back with some mild indigestion and sense of tiredness again. I was sent to an allergist for food allergy testing and the results is very surprising to me. It shows that I have a strong level allergy to: pork, beef, rice, wheat, corn, melons, pinto beans, pineapple, pears and sweet potatoes; very strong allergy to oranges; and moderate allergy to:peaches, string beans, carrots, fish, egg, cows milk, brazil nut, and coconuts. My question is: what do I do to cope with this wide range of allergies? I know to avoid the strong and strongest ones altogether - but how? How did I end up with so many allergies now ? [|AI|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You had surgeries, for gall bladder, and the hiatal hernia. Usually these conditions are associated with the gastric erosion. Which is to be treated completely, after surgery. I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have a gastrostomy, for diagnosis, and treatment. I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms' omeprazole, risperidone, and and antacid gel. Now you start, avoiding the strongest, and stronger allergic substances, after observing the effect of the Chat Doctor. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] i am 30yr old and married for 1 yr 8 months we trying to conceive but i am unable , my gynic told me that i am having infection on cervix opening she did some treatment for that. i want to know that because of infection is it possible i am not able to conceive. i also have white discharge problem from childhood.what i should do so that i can conceive [|AI|] Hello, thanks for using Chat Doctor. There are several causes of infertility other than just infection and appropriate diagnosis is key in instituting a treatment plan. Infections are a common cause of infertility but with effective antibiotherapy, the infertility should resolve except in chronic infections witChatDoctorplications such as pus or fluid in the fallopian tubes. Poor sexual exposure is a common cause of difficulty in conceiving. Effective exposure requires at least 4 sexual exposures per week spread out throughout the week. I will advise you and your husband get complete panel of tests for infertility including hysterosalpingography, pelvic ultrasound, chlamydia serology, urea plasma and cytoplasm sexologies and program and a temperature chart.

I have had a severe pain in my groin area for sometime. Is that pain coming from the bone on bone in my hip? Should I consider hip replacement right now? [|AI|] Dear patient bone on bone in right hip means there is severe arthritis of right hip. Your age (61) is appropriate for total hip replacement, and it is the best treatment for hip arthritis. Hip joint pain can be seen in groin area, buttock area and even referred to same side knee joint. There will be limping while walking with antalgic gait.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Sir ihad severe pain in low back 10 yrs backI was diagnosed for HLA B 27 test whicChatDoctore positive.Then onwards i have been taking Nucoxia on SOS but from last3 years i am having UVities in peak summer does it mean i am suffering from Anklosying spondiliyiswhen i take nocoxia i get temporary relief and i do not have that much severity shd i take saaz and what are its side effects [|AI|] Thanks for writing to us. Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory disorder affecting various ligaments and causing ossification of the same. It leads to progressive stiffness with restriction of the body movements. In acute attacks we always prescribe the anti-inflammatory medicine. However, in long run you need to keep yourself quite flexible and regular back muscle stretching and exercise if possible swimming will definitely delay the body stiffness. I would suggest consulting a rheumatologist for medicinal treatment. Thanks.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi i had a baby in march, used the mini pill until beginning of may and then had a mirena coil fitted, i carried on taking the mini pill for a further 7 days after the coil was fitted as doctor suggested i do. 2 days after i had coil in i had a little spotting which was fine and then 2 weeks after i had some bleeding but not alot. i havnt had any bleeding at all since that so a good 9/10 weeks ago. i was supposed to return 6 weeks after the coil fitting to check it was still in place, but with a new born baby that was poorly i didnt go for the check unfortunately. for the last couple of weeks i have had a very strong sense of smell, very overpowering at times and its making me feel very sick and i have also tody been sick, i have had no bleeding as i explained for about 9 weeks now, also tired and gaining weight. is this normal for the mirena coil or could it be something else? thanks [|AI|] Hello, and I hope I can answer your question. The IRENA coil normally produces irregular bleeding in the first few months of use, so those symptoms are completely normal. However, your fatigue, weight gain and feeling sick make me concerned that your IUD may not be working properly (you never went back for the re-examination) and that you may have gotten pregnant. The device can fall out occasionally, especially in women who have given birth recently. I suggest you do a pregnancy test right away. If the test is positive, you should see a doctor immediately, as there is a risk of a tubal or ectopic pregnancy if you get pregnant with an IUD. An ectopic pregnancy is an emergency and can even result in death without proper treatment. If you are not pregnant, I would still advise you to see a health care provider to check that the IRENA is working properly and evaluate your other symptoms. I hope this advice was helpful, and that you feel better. Sincerely,

She is otherwise normal but her growth to me is seemingly slow.I have been told that it may be genetic, but she has reached all her other milestones in time. I am suspected to have MEN 1 disorder and investigating the same, worried about her growth and teeth milestone! Abha ( Mother ) [|AI|] Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Eruption of teeth gets delayed in some child Chat Doctor. Relax as you are aware that all other milestone is good in her case. I would suggest you to visit your local periodontist and get her checked. Have radiograph done to evaluate her milk tooth and developing teeth status. If required any treatment such as removal of the milk teeth, go according to it. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi i have been getting sick spells for months now a nausea felling lightheaded some dizziness almost have blacked out i have been doctoring for 6-7 weeks and they have ran test bloodwork heart monitor ekgs my bloodpressure was up and my vitamin d was low i am now on pills but all the test came back fine and i am still getting this spells could you suggest anything that it might be [|AI|] Hi. I did review your concern. Since your heart and blood work are fine, the next logical step would be to rule out cerebellar, inner ear and peripheral problems. I would advise you to consult a neurologist and get tested for any inner ear and cerebellar problems. Also, orthostatic hypotension may be a cause. For that I would advise you to wear compression stockings that increase blood flow up towards your brain when you suddenly get up from bed or stand UPI hope this yellowish you all the best.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I had a terrible coughing attack due to allergies - one week ago. Two days later it felt like someone hit me with a baseball bat along the curved portion of my ribs. And it hurts worse now, 5 days later. Sneezing almost brought me to my knees. Any suggestions? [|AI|] HelloSevere cough, pain in the ribs and uninterrupted sneezing may be due to these reasons, these include:1 Allergic rhinitis, sneezing, cough, animation tears and nasal itching are the symptoms present in this disease and cause is allergy. 2 Asthmatic allergic bronchitis is another most common cause of such symptoms. Usually this is due to bronchoconstriction caused by some allergen associated with infection.3 Flu or common cold is another such reason. When such patient visit my clinic I prescribe them to take montelukast+fexofenadine once in day with dextromethophan + chlorpheniramine male at+menthol syrup. Also take levofloxacin 750 mg once in day. Since all these Chat Doctor. But if cough is very severe then take codeine + chlorampheniramine syrup (but this causes addiction, so you can't take this without prescription of a qualified doctor). Good luck.

[|Human|] What is Biliary Colic I have had pain in my right side for about two weeks and it has not left and I am nausea all day hurt worst when I eat been on light diet still the samewhat shall I do I have dr. apt 3more weeks away don t no if I can take the pain have pain meds but still the same. please please help. thanks [|AI|] Hi.biliary colic is the symptom you experience when you have a concern in any part of your hepatopancreatico-biliary tree. When you experience a colicky pain, it is intermittent, waxing and waning in character, epigastric to right upper qua Chat Doctor. It usually occurs right after a fatty meal. I suggest that if your appointment is still in a few days time, diet modification would be best. Avoid high fat food as it might aggravate your condition, and the elective might be an emergency case instead. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics, such as ultrasound and liver function tests, and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have had asthma all my life and like a dummy I started smoking at the age of 19. I am now 55. It has been an on and off battle for many years. 5 years ago, I developed COPD. Every year the flare ups have gotten worse. This time around the antibiotics and prednisone seem to be making me worse. Cramps, no energy, still coughing, and big time shortness of breath when I walk around. Should I go to the hospital? [|AI|] Hello, Welcome and thanks for your query. You seem to be having COPD and this is the cause of your breathlessness. Unless you stop smoking it is going to get worse, and you will be required to be on home oxygen therapy and other treatments. For COPD, Geotropism bromide (Spirit) is better option than steroids and beta-agonist in my opinion. It may be better for you to go to the hospital now and get yourself stabilized, and then you can continue treatment with a healthy lifestyle and medicines advised. Take Care

[|AI|] Hi, Arthritis means pain in joints and not the bones or muscles, so if you are having pain in your legs it means there is some other etiology for this pain apart from arthritis which is limited to joints, though referred pain can be felt in joints too. Secondly, medication for arthritis should be continued for at least 2 months before switching on to the second option, as your treatment had been started only a month back you need to remain calm and wait for improvements if there is going to be any. Arthritis medicines range from simple NSAIDs to biological Awards. Treatment strategy is to change from one to the other based on the effect harm ratio. In the meantime, get yourself tested for vitamin D and calcium as well. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

[|AI|] Hi, There is no harm in taking aspirin before conceiving. But there is no proven benefit also. Starting aspirin may not solve your problem. You need some investigations to find out cause for repeated miscarriages. Though these investigations are costly, if abnormal some factors can be corrected to avoid miscarriage. You can ask your doctor about those investigations. Some basic cheap investigations are blood sugar level, V Chat Doctor. Costly investigations like karyotype can be done or deferred according to your doctors' advice. Wish you good health.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, My two yr old son was snapped at by a small dog. He did not get any bruise or even bled as he was wearing a thick t shirt. However, a small mark is there which has turned red. Can you guide if the child needs to undergo vaccinatiin for rabies. He was bitten yesterday at 6:40 pm. [|AI|] Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorI am sorry to hear about your child being bite by a dog. The area that was bite does not sound like the skin was broken nor was there transmission of saliva into the wound. To transmit rabies the skin needs to be broken, and the saliva enter the wound. The red spot that you see is probably a small bruise just under the skin and should resolve on it own. Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your questions and concerns

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Just got the craziest diagnosis.I am a 52 year old female. Supposely I have two leaky heart valves, (don t know which ones) and I m having mini strokes. Heart palpatations and heart flutters, feeling dizzy and like my heart skips a beat were the symptoms that would not stop are the symptoms that caused me to seek help. I also had sharp pains in my jaw, back and left arm one evening. I am a very physically active person, I mow my own grass and my job is outdoors not sitting at a desk. When this first happened I thought I just got over heated outside and thought I was going to pass out but it did not go away. I don t like to go to the hospital, I went to the clinic and they put me in an ambulance to the hospital! After stress test, echo cardio, cortery test and a lot more I don t know. The Dr has prescribed blood thinners and told me to go back to work at my regular job? So with this condition and mini strokes ok to shovel dirt and carry stones around? What will he look for in a month after blood thinners? [|AI|] Hello Thanks for posting at Chat Doctor. By your description seems like you have got atrial fibrillation which means irregular fast heart rate. This causes symptoms like palpitations, fluttering sensation in the chest, feeling dizzy etc. Due to irregular fast heart rate, clots tend to develop in the heart which then migrate to other organs including the brain. This is why you get ministrokes. Your doctor has put you on blood thinners so that the clots don't form. Please continue taking the thinners. You can go around doing your normal activities. But start gradually to see how the body responds. After a month your doctor has called you to see response to the treatment and an ECG and 2 d echo may be repeated if indicated. Wishing you good healthRegards.

It says after taking the 1 big pill of 200mg on 1st day u r suppose to start having abdominal cramps and started bleeding with clots. now should i take my third day pills (4) of the Kushi MT kit or not. [|AI|] HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. I hope you have consulted a doctor before taking the kit. The pregnancy should be confirmed and dated by a gynecologist before taking the medications. There are unforeseen complications such as infection, bleeding, unsuspected ectopic pregnancy etc. You can bleed anytime after taking the second part of the kit (4 pills of Bisoprolol) also. A follow-up scan after 15 days is vital to rule out incomplete abortion. All the displease feel free to discuss further.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi, My age is 44 years and I have been undergoing infertility treatment for past 6 months. I have done IUI in Oct but no results. Next cycle was put on medicines and after 44 days my legs started to swell. Had met the doctor and she advised for tests and all tests normal. My endometrium is 13mm thick and one folicule is available now in right ovary. pls advise why my legs are swollen and any effect of thick endometrium? [|AI|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The causes of the swelling of the feet are hypovitaminosisB, anemia, heart failure, etc. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. In such a health condition, with one mature follicle, the chances of conception are very less, still you can try. Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods, to provide relief of some conditions. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.

Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With your kind of history, it seems that there is a spreading infection due to the sores on your scalp. If I were your doctor, I would start a broad spectrum antibiotic specially effective against staphylococcus and streptococcus. The spreading infection has caused the reactive lymphadenitis, giving rise to the swollen glands. Once the infection is controlled, all will be ok. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] ive been facing some problems with sperm release for about one month. Before, when my sperm ejaculate it goes for a long distance with a high pressure and a big amount. Now, when my sperm ejaculate it only goes for a too short distance not even more than 5cm with a low pressure and short amount of sperm. why is that happening, and how can i cure it and become like i was? [|AI|] Degree understand your concerns went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. You should not worry much about such things. Ejection length depends on just one factor, and that is the viscosity of the semen. If the viscosity is less, or semen is watery, it ejects for a long distance. If semen is thick, it is sticky, it travels lesser distance. Along with age, the quantity of semen and viscosity decreases. Emotions, anxiety, stress, fatigue etc. are also other factors. Bur there will not be any problem for the effectiveness of semen. I sincerely advice you that you have nothing to worry. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello.. my last period was 3rd august.. and I started my yasmin pill on 6th august.. on 7th august @ night I forgot to take so I took next morning.. and again I forgot to take on 11 august so I took 12th august morning.. after thn I took my pills regular but not on same time 2-3 hours late.. now I completed my pills.. today 5th day but still I did not get the period.. I took the pregnancy test. It came negative. . So am I pregnant.. what are the chances? [|AI|] HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Oral contraceptive pills such as Yasmin are highly effective (99%) at preventing pregnancy when used appropriately. Women commonly forget to take the pill some days or make take it a little later than normal as happened to you. By taking the forgotten pill the next day along with the pill that was due for that day, you should still have been covered. If you had forgotten for 2 days straight then your contraceptive cover would not have been adequate. Pregnancy tests can normally detect pregnancy by day 11 to 14 after conception. If this time had passed when you took the test, it can be considered accurate. If this time has not passed you may want to either consider an early detection kit or a blood Chat Doctor level, these can detect lower levels of the pregnancy hormone, Chat Doctor. You should rule out pregnancy before restarting the pills especially if your periods are normally regular. I hope this helps

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As by your history, that you have pain since 4 years, have you ever consulted the or tho for the same. As sometimes, due to the wear and tear of the joints, the pain can arise often. Also, during the period time, there are hormonal changes which leads to weakness in the overall bodily functions, by which there is a tendency to induce more weight on the one side of the body. As for which you can consult your personal gone who can help you understand the situation of hormonal changes better in detail. Also, if you are unsure of any injury in the past or present, then getting a musculoskeletal assessment is advised. Post which is the or tho feels an MRI or x-ray will be advised, if not then you may be referred to a physical therapist. By learning the exercises for strengthening the knee joint and also the overall body conditioning, you can have enough strength to balance the body weight. Also, since you mentioned you have pain in the little finger, you may need to undergo a urinalysis for uric acid levels. With simple medication, the levels can be brought back to control. In my clinical practice, female of your age complaints of bodily pain and also particular joint pain during period. By a proper musculoskeletal assessment and guided physical therapy their symptoms can be controlled. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Two days ago I awoke to my heart racing. I checked and it was 137. I had a headache, but I got up and felt dizzy. I measured my heart rate after 15 minutes and it was up to 207. I then took my GTN spray and after about 10 - 15 minutes, it went down to 76. Should I see my doctor? [|AI|] HelloThanks for posting here. You have definitely got a high heart rate which requires evaluation. Since you said you took GTN SPRAY I suppose you are suffering from heart disease. First it is necessary to determine what type of fast heart rate you have regular or irregular. Irregular fast heart rate is called AF or atrial fibrillation. Regular fast heart rate can be sinus tachycardia or supraventricular tachycardia. All the three entities require medical management. The decrease in heart rate with GTN spray is unusual, and it may be just an incidental finding. GTN tends to increase the heart rate, so next time refrain from taking GTN spray if you feel your heart rate is very fast. You must visit your doctor and get an ECG done. If the ECG does not detect any arrhythmia of fast heart rate, then a 24 hour holder monitoring should BR done which records the ECG for 24 hrs when the patient is doing his normal day-to-day activities. This will help detect the rhythm disturbances and treatment can be started accordingly. Since you have history of heart disease a 2 d echo should also be done to rule out organic cause of arrhythmia. Take care regards

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, my daughter 3.5 yrs has fallen into some steps knocking her front top right tooth. We have had X-rays and the outcome was a fracture. It is now 3 days on and the tooth Itself has dropped 5mm and the gums are red and inflamed. It is starting to effect her speach and chewing capabilities. As it is the weekend we can not see a dentist hence being here. Any advice greatly appreciated. [|AI|] Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint due to trauma the tooth has got PARTIAL AVULSION from the socket and due to it is has hanging in mouth leading to difficulty in chewing and speaking and even there can be pain, along with it there is a possibility that the tooth will completely get abused from the socket and there will be loss of tooth. You need an immediate dental assistance and should consult an emergency room and there you may get a dentist available or can guide you to reach a dentist as soon as possible. In case if the tooth falls you should store it in either milk or mild salt solution or saliva so that when you see the dentist he can replace it in the socket and splint it to save the tooth. In case if the tooth is partially abused the dentist can gently place the tooth back in position in the socket using aseptic precautions and splint it using orthodontic wires along with initiating root canal treatment of the tooth and gradually the tooth will take its place in the socket and starts healing. But you cannot wait for long, and you need to take her to a dentist immediately. As of now you can give her Tylenol or Ibuprofen in case of pain. Hope this information helps. If you find the answer helpful please give me a Five-Star Review and click on found the answer helpful as a token of appreciation. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .

Read your query. Bleeding can be due to recurrent infection, resulting from improper maintenance of your oral cavity. Once you get your teeth cleaned from your dentist, ask him to demonstrate the proper method of brushing and do accordingly. Continue with the using of the mouthwash and use a desensitizing toothpaste for a while. If still persistent, please get a general checkup with your GP to rule out any issues with your general health. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and warm regards.

For ruling out the cause you should get ultrasound abdomen ang x-ray PUB done and discuss further. Hopefully my answer will be helpful. Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, I am 36 years old male, obese, with a renal stone in my right kidney. It is silent and I have not experienced pain for last two years. Recently my legs have started to swell at calves during the day and if I take rest and place my legs higher than my body while sleeping it becomes normal. I have a slight discomfort around my right kidney but no pain. I also have a fatty lever problem also. Kindly tell me what should I do to rduce the swelling and how can I normalize my fatty lever? [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for writing in. The swelling in the calf regions during periods of activity can mean decreased venous return and pooling of blood. This is not related to your right kidney stone. There are arteries which supply blood to the different regions including limbs and veins which bring back the blood to the heart. The veins have valves at some places to prevent back flow and allow the blood to reach the heart. In some people which progressing and in those doing standing jobs there is malfunctioning of the venous valves and the blood gets pooled in the lower limbs. This opens up connecting channels between veins called perforators and that causes varicose veins which is tortuous superficial veins in the lower limbs. It is suggested that you consult a doctor and discuss the probability of varicose veins and if required get a venous Doppler of lower limbs done. For the right kidney discomfort please get the ultrasound scan done again to know of any dislodgement of the stone which can cause the discomfort. If the stone is not showing Andy increase in size and is in place then nothing needs to be done. There are many causes of liver showing fatty changes (i) Increased intake of fatty foods and alcohol(ii) Over weight and obese patients.(iii) Those who have fatty liver running in family members.(iv) Any liver condition that is changing appearance of liver.(v) Mild fatty liver can also be there in many normal people can get your liver function test and lipid profile done to know if the liver enzymes are raised and cholesterol numbers are increased. Please discuss results with your doctor and take required treatment if your tests results are higher than normal. Please do not worry.

Based on the facts and report of your semen analysis that you have posted You have Oligospermia meaning there by that you have low sperm count. Since you have problem of Erectile Dysfunction too.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have learnt that I have an obsessive disorder. I used to play the computer all the time when i got into situations of stress. I went to a behavioural therapist and worked out I had this behaviour and have further worked out with her help that foods containing excessive amounts of salt or sugar magnify these feelings. I have since found that I have no need to go to the computer and seem to remain calm, but do often cry when faced with these situations. My son has been through trauma, and last night he went downstairs with a knife to stab anyone who was making noise in his unit. I am going out there today to pick him up and bring him back to a quiter environment, and he is going to a therapist today for a session. Do I tell the therapist of his behaviour last night. What do I do? [|AI|] Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. You have mentioned that you have been diagnosed to have an obsessive disorder and that your symptoms are better after seeing a behavioral therapist. Stress is often a factor which can worsen psychological symptoms. So, in response to your question, I think it is better to tell your therapist about the recent stressful incident involving your son. You can also ask your therapist about street management techniques and coping skills as these will also help you handle your stressors better. Wish you all the best.

Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Your result of SGPT is not very much abnormal to be worried about, and this does not confirm enlargement of liver, which could be confirmed only by a physical examination, and an ultrasound of abdomen. The pain you felt could be due to hyper acidity in your stomach. As a precaution, I would advise you not to eat from outside specially spicy and oily food, and go for a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. In the meantime, I would advise you not to eat from outside and avoid any kind of aerated and alcoholic

In this surgical procedure sometimes muscles are also involved so that it also requires correction. Because of this muscle correction sometimes it may become difficult to fold the hand. I advise you to do physiotherapy of the hand muscle. This involves various exercises. Electrotherapy, heat therapy is also given sometimes for the muscle contraction. Please do as much work as possible with this hand this will gradually help improves the contraction. Please start with the milder work than gradually shift to the harder work. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have pain in my right hip that has increased over the last six months; it is alieved somewhat by advil 3 in am and 3 in pm, but it is very limiting; stairs, forget it. grocery store, by the end of a normal shopping trip, I am hanging on my cart and limping and in agony. MRI scheduled for one more week. Assume it is arthritic. Is replacement of a hip the only remedy? [|AI|] Dear patient hip arthritis is likely possibility. Diagnosis can be done from X-ray of the pelvis with both hips anteroposterior and frog leg views if it is advanced. Mri of the right hip may be needed for early stage disease. If X-ray is normal and MRI is showing arthritis changes it means disease is early and replacement can be delayed. If X-ray changes are obvious total joint replacement is the best option. It is very rewarding surgery with excellent results. Prosthesis shelf life is also long nowadays and long term studies are also available. Other option is joint fusion which is absolute procedure and gas poor results.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I pulled my back muscle about 3-4 months age. The pain has got better, but sometimes i still have pain the morning. When i have pain i usually take co-codamol tablet (8/500 mg tablets.As i have a skin condition (Psorasis), in the past when i have taken strong tablets i get a really side affects etc so usually stick to paracetomal etc. I have also been using volterol cream, applying this to my back. Can you advise on my back problem. [|AI|] As per your explanation I suggest you to visit a physiotherapist and take a good exercise program for your entire spine health. This will help you to improve the strength, stamina and flexibility of your spine. Here you have mentioned sometimes morning when you get up you feel pain at your back. It tells me two things. Either your back is weak or there is a problem with your bed as well sleeping posture. If your back is weak again there could be two region. Either its spinal muscular weakness or it may be related to disc problem. The only way to conform is by doing MRI and checking out your self do you feel any radiating pain from your back to legs ? If yes then it could be related to disc problem. And if there is only spinal muscular weakness Don't worry that will recover once you start following proper spinal exercise program. But I must suggest here do check your bed level (it should have even surface)and it should not be too soft or too hard. You can also use hot and cold pack at your painful area to have more of relaxing and nothing effect which will also help for relieving pain if there is any pain. At anytime if you feel the pain have increased in intensity and more frequent as well radiating to legs than do consult specialist for that. Understand one more thing pain is a symptom so Don't treat the pain treat the cause of the pain which will help you to have permanent relief. Taking some time paracetamol is ok but Don't make it your habit. Take care.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I was stung on my foot and on my leg by a wasp 10 days ago. A bit of swelling and now 10 days later the site of the sting are red and warm to the touch. They also itch like crazy. I tried hydrocortizone cream this morning but it didn t help the itching. What can I try? [|AI|] Welcome to Chat Doctor, IF it is a wasp or bee sing, the first thing to do is to remove the sting, if the sting is inside the skin, it will take a long time to heal. The next thing is swelling nothing to worry about that you can apply ice. The other one is itching in the bite area which can be managed by antihistamines.I feel that because of the itching only you have this swelling for such a long period. Mild analgesics can be used for pain relief. And antibiotic lotions can be applied. Hope this finds useful with regards Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi Dr. Samuel,I would like to know what cause my right side lower back pain and cracking? It has been going on for almost two years now. Do I need to go see the doctor immediately or is there any stretching techniques I can do to fix it. If i need to see the doctor what kind of doctors I should see. Thank you [|AI|] Hi, Low backache looks like a positional anomaly. The low backache is a result of muscle spasm which in itself is a protective mechanism body develops so that the back avoids abnormal posture. For pain to go, it takes not only rest (on a comfortable bed) but also avoidance of particular positions (during work, rest or recreation). Avoid sleeping on sides and stomach in case you do. While on work don't sit in one position for more than an hour and take frequent stretch breaks. Do not bend forward to lift things up, bend the knees and hips for that. Also discontinue any strenuous activity or exercises for some time. Having said that, you might want to consult your orthopaedician for a detailed physical examination and appropriate investigations. For future query, you can directly approach me through my profile http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

Moreover,p revious Month I did unprotected sex several times so will I come know am pregnant or not through urine test in lab??and if the result says am not pregnant then can I be 100% assured of it that am not pregnant??Please do reply [|AI|] HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. See, the urine pregnancy test is more than 97 % reliable. If the test says you are not pregnant, then mostly you are not. To be 100 % sure, you should have a blood B Chat Doctor test or a pelvic ultrasound. A pelvic ultrasound will also reveal other causes such - polycystic ovarian disease, endometrial hyperplasia etc. Please have thyroid hormone measurements also. If you wish to avoid pregnancy, have protected sex in the future. Stress, anxiety, weight gain, hormonal medications, change in diet or sleep patterns - all can lead to delayed cycles. Take care.

Now my gyne prescribed me for DUB-5, and once period will come, she advised to take Novelon (for 21 days), but I want baby now, so can I switch for Metformin instead of Novelon as I also have PCOD problem in past. I think Metformin will help me to induce ovulation. [|AI|] Hi, You have POD. So main aim is to regularize period. DUB 5 will help you to induce period and Novel on will help you to regularize period by correcting hormonal imbalance. You can also use Metformin to induce ovulation under advise of gynecologist once your period will become regular. You can also ask for progesterone pill from day 15th to 25th: it will help in implantation and support pregnancy. Other Chat Doctor. Avoid stress, take healthy diet,

[|AI|] Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that your increase in the blood pressure seems to be related to the supplements you are taking. You should know that all the pre-workout supplements have shown to increase blood pressure and cause cardiac arrhythmia. But also other secondary causes of high blood pressure should be excluded too. I would recommend consulting with a GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, cortisol plasma levels, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes, etc.). Meanwhile, I would recommend stopping all the supplements that you are taking. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings,

Vent Rate: 62 PR 160, QRS 106, QT/QTc 106, P-R-T axes -4, 120 11. I also have hypertension, high cholestorol, left chest pain and shortness of breath [|AI|] Hello, After going through the electrocardiogram (ECG) and medical details, provided by you, I understand your concern for your health. Before giving my opinion, I want you to know I've not seen your electrocardiogram (ECG) and giving my opinion only on the report you have written here. A left posterior particular block generally can be due to age-related conduction problems, structural heart disease or coronary artery disease. Your medical history of being Hypertensive and High cholesterol profile with symptoms of Chest pain and shortness of breath are indicative of Angina which needs further evaluation to prevent any damage to heart muscles. Kindly get an echocardiography and stress test done and consult a cardiologist personally for physical evaluation and proper treatment. Hope I have answered your query.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] It was discovered I had a spot on my pancreas during a CT.I had HepC-ws in treatment w Pegasus for 4 mos. They wanted me to do a MRI-I didn t have health insurance and frankly I ignored theor advice aboit MRI. I have no pain or any unusual symptoms-I am now rescheduled for MRI-applying for health insurance. I am NOW VERY worried. [|AI|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor Forum. Since you do not have any symptoms like pain or fever it can not be an abscess. MRI has to be done to rule out any benign or malignant condition. Please do not neglect and let the doctors do their job. Since spot on pancreas is an incidental finding on CT scan and there is no clear-cut relation between HCV infection and pancreatic cancer I advise you to undergo MRI and follow the advice of your doctor. Take care. Wish you good health.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello doctor,Ive been having nocturnal emissions once every two or three months for the last year. Im 23 years old. Today I woke up after I had one and I feel a very very slight pain in my left kidney. Also I want to mention I just had a nocturnal emission earlier this same week. Should I masturbate or often or less? I do it once a week.Appreciate your help.Thanks in advance,Joe [|AI|] Hello, I don't think so if it is related to nocturnal emissions. It might be due to some other reasons like stones or renal tract infections. Nocturnal emissions are normal and masturbation is likely going to lessen the frequency of nocturnal emission. I suggest you to visit your doctor to run some tests like urine routine examination and culture studies along with ultrasound renal tract. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I take a magnesium supplement. My blood glucose has gone from 296 to 115 fasting since drastically lowering my carb intake. Ive lost 15+ pounds so Im having great results but my back pain is causing me to limit my activities. I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Thank you. [|AI|] For my 66-year-old diabetic female on low-carb diet having excruciating back pain, I would have the following advice; Backache may be unrelated to the diet changes. I would first consider ruling out calcium deficiency and/or osteoporosis. Secondly, would like to look at serum electrolytes as the pain may be due to muscle cramps. I hope you are taking adequate fluids. If I can rule out the above-mentioned suspicions, then would have my patient evaluated alongside with an orthopedic/ neurosurgery team to look for any organic cause. You can discuss the above options with your caregiver. I hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into Chat Doctor. Have a wonderful day.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] my 26 year old son is for past 3 weeks is complaining about tighness tingling and numbness under his left rib cage. No pain. He says it comes and goes and he doesn t feel it at all when he is lying down. He is very atletic and plays major basketball and baseball. Is this a common problem [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out heart diseases for his symptoms because left sided chest discomfort is common in heart diseases. So get done ECG and 2d echo. If both these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes in young age, stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in his life and start working on its solution. He may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, he will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.

[|Human|] Hie I have recurrent candida and been using over the counter creams for almost 2 yrs now what can I do to make sure t doesn t come back again besides going to a gp because have been there several times with husband and the pills seem not to be taking this away [|AI|] Hello, In spite of using creams/pills; still you are getting recurrent candida infections means either you are using wrong dosage or it is not candida infections. In the query you didn't mention the site of recurrent infections, (assuming in the vaginal area, is it correct). Vaginal candidiasis causes excessive milky white discharge. My suggestion is please meet gynecologist for your problem and for good treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello, I am 60 and have had episodes of depression for 30 years approx. In the past 2 years I have developed a bipolar pattern of roughly 4 good weeks to 3 very bad ones. This pattern seemed to come about following when I started exercising every day, i.e. swimming over a mile each day. Have you come across this before?Alan [|AI|] Hello Alan, Regarding the association of swimming and bipolar disorder, i don't think there is any association. Now coming to your illness, recurrent depressive episodes which occur very frequently (like in your case) are suggestive of bipolar disorder. Technically the bipolar disorder should have both mania and depression. But recurrent mania is also labelled as bipolar disorder. And recurrent depression is considered to be a risk factor for bipolar disorder. As you have mentioned that you experience these episodes frequently, I would suggest you to visit your psychiatrist. Your symptoms require Chat Doctor. The

The sperm count and motility (proportion of active and healthy sperms) are well within the normal range. According to this report your fertility will not be affected.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My 18 yr old daughter just got a prescription for Junel. Her boyfriend just moved to school across the country and they ll on;y get to see eachother every other month for the next 5 yrs. i think oral contraceptive use for a low rate of intercourse may be overkill and they should switch to condom use. Wanted to know your thoughts on this before approaching her [|AI|] Hello, Combined Oral Contraceptive (COC) like June is a good choice for birth control in a young woman who is 18 years of age because at this age fertility chances of falling pregnant from a single act of intercourse are high. If she is likely to see her boyfriend every month or more then, it might be best to continue with this method for the reasons described below. COC is >99% effective and June acts by preventing pregnancy in more than way. It stops egg release, thickens secretions from the cervix to prevent sperm from reaching the egg for fertilization and also makes the lining of the womb unfavorable for pregnancy to establish. It provides reliable birth control along with added desirable benefits for a young person such as less bleeding and pain during period, prevents the formation of cysts or fluid-filled swellings on ovaries. Furthermore, it might help with improving skin by reducing acne. Condom by itself will be a less reliable method for a young couple. However, if they are motivated enough to use it alongside pills, it may be protective against infections that can be passed between partners through sex. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello I take care of my younger brother early 40 s he is on Medicare due to broken vertebras in his back, he has blood clots forming in his legs below his knees they are really swollen and scabby lately also he is on a breathing machine night due to he is not breathing properly he is always out of breath all day long. this has been going on for a while now and the clinic he is going to is not doing anything more just telling him it will subside please help me I need a doctor to help him contact me at YYYY@YYYY [|AI|] Broken vertebrae possibly have associated spinal cord injury, and he is not able to move his both legs (in medical terms-paraplegia). Blood clots in legs below knee with swollen legs seems Deep venous thrombosis (DVT). He needs regular use of DVT pump in legs along with anticoagulants for treating this condition. If he started to have breathing difficulty (requiring breathing machine), there is chance that he had "pulmonary embolism" due to leg clots. I advise getting 2D Echocardiography, CENT Chest with pulmonary angiogram to look for pulmonary embolism.

[|Human|] sir i have just turned 21 and im unmarried sometime a desire comes into my mind from nowhere and i make my way to bathroom and start playing with my penis meanwhile a white substance appears to come out of my penis. in early days i didnt feel any pain but with passage of time i hurts me. is it a serious matter? if yes then plz help me to get ride of this problem// [|AI|] Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Well, this white substance is probably semen which is normally ejaculated during masturbation. In rare cases as a part of STDs it may be pus, but then it would be discharged spontaneously. Certain degree of pain is expected and depends on intensity of masturbation, but if there is significant pain then it may present reinfection or prostatitis and in this case you should do urinalysis and prostate ultrasound. In every case, I don't think this is a serious problem. 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.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, I have a lot of pain in my upper spine . I noticed that I have black and purple spots on my upper back and lower back. It is very painful and sometimes I can not bare the pain. I m 49 years old and I have a history of falling on my back. When I first noticed the purple/blackish mark there was only one of them, but now that same spot has grown bigger and in different places. I need to know what this is. Please get back to me as soon as you can, I d appreciate it. [|AI|] Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The exact diagnosis is possible only after a careful clinical examination. The black/purple spots on your back may be related to the injury due to fall, which could result in a hematoma. They could be unrelated to the fall too, such as skin lesions (Melanesia, etc.). Please get them checked by your GP. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/

Thanks [|AI|] Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress - 1. An active is a well kid even if he is not eating well. 2. Development of a kid is as important as, or I would say even more important than growth alone.3. As the kids grow their interest in food decreases and interest in play activities increases so that they eat small quantity and run away to play. As parents, we need to be more patient and feed than less quantity but more liquors per day.4. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed his calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it.5. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi I m 20weeks pregnent I ve had discharge for a while but its now got a slight green tinge colour to it I had a 20 week scan yesterday an was told my cervix was fine I ve had 4 children an never carried to term also been told ive got high amniotic fluid [|AI|] Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Vaginal discharge gets heavier during pregnancy, and it normally has a yellow creamy color. It should not have a strong odor or itch. Greenish discharge may indicate either the presence of mucus (which can be normal) or either a bacterial or yeast infection. Yeast infections tend to produce chunky discharge with solid portions and no odor, while with a bacterial infection, odor when urinating or after sex is usually present. The way one could tell the difference is by an examination by your prenatal care provider, who could take a look at our discharge and let you know if it is normal. Your high amniotic fluid will need to be continued to be followed during your pregnancy by ultrasound but it most frequently goes away by itself. You likely will need monthly ultrasounds until it does. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that this information was helpful. Best wishes,

Any insight is greatly appreciated. [|AI|] Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Shaking of legs simply does not point towards restless leg syn Chat Doctor. I advise you not to notice the restless legs yourself. Ask somebody to monitor you without you knowing it. Let him monitor you when you are at work, at school, at games etc. Then ask him how serious it is. If he says it needs to be corrected, then you start researching about it. Definitely not now. Worrying about a possibly non-existing problem can be the basic cause of the problem itself. Be wise.

[|AI|] Hi. Thanks for your query. Read and understood the problems you 13-year-old daughter is having. It is good that the Ceftriaxone course if already given. High WBC indicate that she may have hidden abscess somewhere, and since she has pain in the spinal region I would advise the following:-Repeat CBC-MRI of the spine to see for an abscess or so.-CT scan for the abdomen to see any inflammatory process going on like inflamed lymph nodes or so.-Clinical evaluation and physical examination by a Surgeon can clinch the diagnosis and give a better plan for further treatment.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] dear doctor my son has just turned 4yrs old and for the past few months he has got very thin. His stools are always soft and sink to the bottom of the toilet, on occasion they are diahorea. He recently has complained of his bum being itchy and it is red. He is at nursery school and I know he is active and growing but has always had a good appetite and we would eat healthy home cooked meals, however the food in school is somewhat processed and I think at times he does not eat a lot of his dinner in school and this may be a contributing factor in the weight loss. Also about 2 weeks ago he seemed to be having bad nightmares, sweating/fever and his body was twitching a bit. He was like that for 3 nights running and then it stopped. he has night sweats regularly but this was more like a fever. I am concerned about his weight, and was wondering if you would have any advice, or would this give you an idication of any possible diagnosis?

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi Good Evening. My dad who is in his 70s is a diabetic and is hospitalized with liver and kidney failure and also had amputation of 4 lower limbs.Can anyone pls update is there point in shifting him to a bigger hospital, though the current doctors taking care of him have said chances are just 5%. [|AI|] Having simultaneous kidney and liver failure probably suggests infection or any other acute event. I would suggest you to shift to higher center as we should not give up because its life. If he needs lifelong dialysis then ethical emotional and moral values will come in to the picture. But at present better to shift and if he needs dialysis then peritoneal dialysis is best option. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] i have had abdominal pain for 2 years now the pain never goes away, painkillers only dull the pain but do not take it away, i have had a colonoscopy, gastroscopy, lapaoscopy, ultrasound, transvaginal ultrasound, ct scan and x rays done they x ray showed inflammation on the ileum, i had my appendix removed when i was 20 so it is not that, but i have tried everything and had all the tests imaginable done i feel like im going insane and the doctors are strating to talk that way too what can it be please help? [|AI|] Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. As you have got almost all the tests done for your problem, I would advise you for the following few:1)In case you eat from outside, I feel that you may be sensitive/allergic to gluten, which is found in many fast foods containing wheat, pasta, etc. This is not easy to diagnose, and the best way is to exclude all kinds of fast food you consume in outside eating joints (if this is the case with you). It is best to have home cooked food with more of roughage or carry the same with you if you are busy. Gluten sensitivity can give rise to all the symptoms you have described. Some modification in your diet like more of roughage, enough liquids, avoidance of oily, fried, and fast food, and avoidance of alcoholic beverages and smoking if you do. I suggest you to consult a gastroenterologist along with a dietician on this aspect of the diagnosis, which possibly might not have been considered until now. The gastroenterologist will be able to diagnose with few biochemical tests along with a possible repeat endoscopy with biopsy of the intestinal mucosal wall, while the dietician can guide you on your food that you can consume pleasantly. Also, there is a need to exclude co-existing amoebas which is very common globally and treat it if positive by a stool test for ova and cyst. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Dear Sir My son is around 6 yrs old. He do not want to take food usually. He is becoming emaciated. For few days, we found some blood around his leap at morning time. Teeth seems to be okay. Why it comes ? We are worried of any systemic infection. Please suggest us some possibilities. [|AI|] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The blood around the lips could be because of the gum infection, or any cuts in the oral cavity or pulp polyp or any bleeding disorders like idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Consult an oral physician and get these things ruled out. Get a complete blood investigation along with INR to rule out the bleeding disorders. If any gum infection then get your teeth cleaned and use topical gum astringents like stolen gum paint. If pulp polyp is there then get the tooth treated. If bleeding disorder is there then consult a general physician. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello Sir, This is Prashant Chaturvedi from Lucknow, i would like to ask the best treatment for my Grand Mother that she is suffring from Gallballder Cancer and the treatment is undergoing to Mr. Rakesh in Asian Hospitol Faridabad in Delhi. They suggest us instent wire put in the body and then decide to operate the gallbledder tumer.we hope you will give me best. Thanking You. Prashant Chaturvedi.0000 [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for writing in. I suppose your grandmother has cancer of gall bladder that is causing biliary obstruction. The lever generates bile which is required for digestion of food. The bile is stored in gall bladder. Cancer in the gall bladder can cause problem in bile clearance and this leads to bile getting collected in the liver and there is jaundice. In your grandmother the biliary obstruction due to gall bladder cancer is causing problems. The doctors want to insert a stent to restore bile flow and reduce jaundice. This is done to bring relief to patient by allowing the liver enzymes to become normal. Complete surgery for gall bladder cancer is possible only in early stages. Please discuss if your grandmother has early cancer and if surgery is planned to remove toe gall bladder. Please do not worry.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi Doctor, I am 32 yrs. i have a daughter of 5 yrs. I got copper T when she was 6 months old. My family members are asking me to get it removed but I dont want that. I am not ready for another baby. Is it safe to keep it for some more time? If yes, then for how much more time? And if no, then what should be another way to not getting pregnant? Pills and condom are not the right answers for me. Please suggest. [|AI|] Hi, From your notes it appears that you are using Copper T which has efficacy for 5 years. You cannot continue to use it after 5 years duration as its efficacy is reduced, and you are at risk of getting pregnant. If you wish to postpone pregnancy, you may visit your doctor, remove this and get a new copper T inserted. If you do not wish to use pills and condom then discuss with your doctor regarding using hormone patches, subdermal implants or three monthly/monthly hormone injections.I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
