Question: i have a lump on my chest lots of pain and i'm tired all the time. i have a family history of cancer should i worry? . i'm 35 years old female with a strong family history of cancer. about 6 months ago i found a small lump on my chest but didn't think anything of it. about a month ago it started getting a little bigger and my breast started to swell. than i started having a lot of pain in that area so much so sometimes it hurts to use my arm. i have been tired all the time and have no energy. i have also been running a small fever off and on. should i be worried?
Answer: well your symptoms certainly warrant a checkup. what you're describing could be something as benign (non-life threatening) as a cyst or something more serious. the fact you've had pain and swelling in the area plus a fever could point more to an infectious process than to something like cancer but only a physical examination by a medical professional can say for sure. and either way this lump seems to need treatment. i'd suggest you make an appointment with your primary health care provider as soon as possible to get this lump looked at. wishing you all the best! yes! go to a doctor - now. if you can't afford a mammogram let me know and i will get you in contact with a place to get one for free. order 100% legit n safe medical marijuana pain relievers cbd oils dabs and more. for more info text (505) 807-7504 lisanblakeretailshop@gmail. com medical marijuana is good for your health top medical strains for all patients suffering from depression glaucoma anxiety and tension headaches chronic pain and nausea mental and physical fatigue and for calming aromatherapy then you are in the right place to look in our meds all top grade aa+ with high level of cbd and thc contact for your supply and good health. pain killers medical marijuana act. lean ***(( no prescribtion is needed))) bud seeds harsh oils dabs & other m. m treatments. we also sefely and securely deliver all sorts of generic medication and syrup nationwide at very good prices. no prescribtions needed. legit verified and reputed plug. available in the u. s canada australia and the uk. for more info text (505) 807-7504 lisanblakeretailshop@gmail. com. thank you. dffg

Question: can a stroke just affect the legs and nothing elsse?
Answer: that's a good question. a stroke is what we call the death of small portions of brain tissue due to an interruption of oxygen delivery. common causes of stroke include a blood clot (which prevents the flow of oxygen-rich blood to an area of the brain) or a hemorrhage (basically a burst blood vessel in the brain). usually the symptoms of stroke such as weakness only affect one side of the body not both. so if your question is "can stroke cause weakness in both legs and nothing else " then the answer is "probably not" because a stroke doesn't usually affect both sides of the body at the same time. if your question is "can stroke cause weakness is one leg and no other body parts on that side " the answer again is "probably not. " usually a stroke causes weakness to the entire side of the body from the face to the toes. everyone should know the symptoms of stroke because stroke is an emergency that requires prompt treatment. if you ever suspect someone is having a stroke do these three things: ask them to give you a big big grin and hold it. does one side of the mouth droop? if so this is a sign of stroke. ask them to extend both arms out at shoulder height and hold them. is the person able to raise both arms equally? if not this can be a sign of stroke. ask them to answer a simple question such as "what do you see out the window? " or "what did you eat for lunch? " if the person can't give you a coherent answer (if their words don't go together correctly) this can be a sign of stroke. if the person you're testing for stroke does not pass two of the above tests call 911 immediately. when it comes to stroke better safe than sorry! hope this helps. yes! woke up one morning and fell for leg gave out upon standing. waited a few hours before going to er for left leg and foot was very heavy and numb. cat scan showed i had stroke. found out after many more tests that right corotid artery was totally blocked. left leg and foot still numb and heavy.

Question: what are the symptoms of gallbladder isues
Answer: gallbladder problems have become increasingly common due in part to our fattier diets. i hope you're not suffering from any gallbladder issues! the gallbladder is a small sac located near the liver. its job is to produce bile that helps break down any fats we eat. usually the gallbladder functions flawlessly throughout the course of our life. sometimes however stones build up and block the passage of bile out of the gallbladder. that's when the fun begins. the symptoms of a gallbladder attack (gallstones) can include: pain in your stomach pain in the upper-right part of your abdomen pain that radiates from the upper-right part of the abdomen to the shoulder or upper back yellowing of the skin or the whites of the eyes fever and chills not everyone will experience all of these symptoms. also pain from a gallbladder attack can range from mild to severe. everyone's case is different. if you're experiencing a fever chills and yellowing of the whites of your eyes or skin you should seek immediate medical attention. if your symptoms are less severe schedule an appointment with your primary care provider to discuss testing that can be done to assess whether or not you're having a problem with gallstones. i wish you all the best! i was told i had sludge now it is a constant pain in my upper right side under my rib. it is happening more often now and last a few minutes to half an hr.
Question: partner does not have hep b can he still be infected if he took the first two doses of vaccine? ttc. found out i have hep b last december and to my surprise since i have not had sexual encounter with anyone else and doesn't have any tattoos or do not use drugs of any kind. baffled. i also have pcos and we are trying desperately to conceive. i hope to get an answer to this burning question because i dont want him to be infected since he is a more social drinker than i and this affects your liver. patiently awaiting your response and thanking you in advance!
Answer: i'm glad to hear you're taking this hepatitis b virus (hbv) situation very seriously. great job! in short: yes your partner can still become infected even if he has started the course of vaccinations. in fact he can even become infected after he finishes the course of vaccinations if his body does not respond by producing enough antibodies. therefore it's crucial your partner avoid having unprotected sex with you until he has his hbv antibodies level verified by a blood test about 1-2 months after he receives the last vaccination in the series. sorry to be the bearer of bad news! also you need to know something else as a prospective mother: if you are still hbv positive while pregnant your baby must be vaccinated for hbv within 12 hours after birth. do not rely on nurses or hospital personnel to do this automatically. things happen vaccinations get delayed. usually that's not a problem. but for your baby specifically it could be a very big problem. so make sure everyone on your birthing team knows your baby needs that hbv vaccination as soon as possible after being born. i know you are anxious to conceive but please don't get so impatient that you put your partner's health at risk. meanwhile you can help avoid passing the virus to your partner by making sure he correctly uses a condom during each sexual encounter. best wishes to you!

Question: does the liver break down more than one toxin at a time or does it eliminate the most toxic first exclusively?
Answer: the liver is an amazing organ. the cells of the liver called "hepatocytes " are constantly working. they perform hundreds of different functions all day and all night long. to answer your question the liver does break down toxins in the blood but i don't know that it can differentiate between "more toxic" and "less toxic. " also what the liver considers a toxin may be different from what we humans conceptualize as a "toxin. " at any rate the liver is constantly breaking down toxins as it encounters them. the liver also among other things breaks down carbohydrates and protein and it produces cholesterol and amino acids. the liver also stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamin k. and it performs all these functions at the same time. so the liver can break down (metabolize) multiple toxins at a time while also secreting bile for digestion and building up stores of vitamin a. like i said: amazing right?

Question: is my vitamin d of 36 to low i am 73? . my dr said my vitamin d is a little low - and that is all he said about that.
Answer: the usual "reference range" (or normal range) for vitamin d levels in the blood is 30 to 74 nanograms per milliliter. so while your result falls within the normal range it is toward the low end. did your doctor advise you take a vitamin d supplement (or to take calcium with vitamin d added)? if not then he or she must feel you have nothing to be concerned about. however if you've been told you have osteoporosis or osteopenia then you might consider using a calcium supplement that contains vitamin d. vitamin d helps the body absorb the calcium better. if you'd like to get a bit more vitamin d in your system you can spend a little time in the sunshine every day (how pleasant! ) drink milk fortified with vitamin d or eat more saltwater fish (like cod) or liver. this article " are you getting enough vitamin d " might be helpful to you. if your doctor wasn't concerned enough to address your vitamin d results i wouldn't worry about it too much. hope this helps! your level of vitamin d is considered normal if it is between 30-100 according to my internist. so while yours is normal you may consider taking a regular over the counter vitamin d. mine was taken recently and my results were 17 very deficient. 20-30 is considered low. my doctor put me on 50 000 iu's once a week for 8 weeks and then 50 000 once every 2 weeks for another 8 weeks. i have been having a terrible time with my gums puffing up and bleeding ( i have always taken great care of my teeth and this is like a nightmare) chipping of several teeth without knowing it hurting all over my body and joints and losing hair like crazy along with many other symptoms. i'm 51 by the way. hope you find this somewhat helpful. any questions just let me know and i'll see if i can answer them.

Question: is oxycontin 30mg the same as oxycodone 30 mg? i thought oxycodone was the generic form of the drug. is it?
Answer: oxycodone is a narcotic pain reliever. oxycontin is the brand name of a time-release version of oxycodone. so you're correct in that the active ingredient of both products are the same. however plain oxycodone is not a time-release product. the purpose of prescribing the time-release version of a narcotic pain reliever is to allow for longer-lasting pain relief. oxycontin (for which there currently is no generic equivalent in the u. s. ) delivers oxycodone slowly over a period of time. this is why the dosing instructions are very different between oxycontin and regular oxycodone. if you've been prescribed oxycontin you should follow the instructions on the label very carefully. oxycontin is not taken as frequently as plain oxycodone. and obviously do not take both regular oxycodone and oxycontin at the same time as this could lead to an overdose. if you have any questions about any of your prescription medications you can always call your pharmacist. he or she can clarify what a medication is for and how to take it. best to you! order / buy 100% safe pain relief pills medical marijuana cbd oils dabs numbutal more. for more info text (505) 807-7504 lisanblakeretailshop@gmail. com medical marijuana is good for your health top medical strains for all patients suffering from depression glaucoma anxiety and tension headaches chronic pain and nausea mental and physical fatigue and for calming aromatherapy then you are in the right place to look in our meds all top grade aa+ with high level of cbd and thc contact for your supply and good health. pain killers medical marijuana act. lean ***(( no prescribtion is needed))) bud seeds harsh oils dabs & other m. m treatments. we also sefely and securely deliver all sorts of generic medication and syrup nationwide at very good prices. no prescribtions needed. legit verified and reputed plug. available in the u. s canada australia and the uk and more. for more info text (505) 807-7504 lisanblakeretailshop@gmail. com. thank you.

Question: how can i overcome feeling so nervous when i play my flute in band? . there's this one song that we play in band and the flutes have a huge solo in it where we're the only ones with the melody. everytime i even. think. about playing that part in the song i flip out. when we play it in band i shake so bad my notes come out shaky i get sweaty my heart beats very fast and i can barely play because i am so nervous. this happens all the time even if it's just a really short section of playing. last time we played it i got so nervous i almot got up and walked away.
Answer: i'm sorry to hear you're going through this. stage fright can be a terrible thing! first i want to point out that even though you feel extremely anxious the fact is you are playing the song. sure your notes might be a bit shaky -- but you're probably the only person who notices that. you should give yourself a pat on the back for getting through the performance and have confidence in your ability to do this. if it helps at all please know that many famous performers confess to having stage fright. in fact the hugely successful singer adele recently said she often feels "scared (i'm) not going to be able to deliver. " i doubt your performance anxiety requires medical treatment. if possible talk to your music teacher or your fellow performers about this. i bet you'll find they also feel nervous about performing. sometimes just knowing you're not alone is helpful. best wishes to you and remember you can do it!

Question: i have had chest pains for 4 months for last 2 weeks pain in top of left arm. have family history of angina tried ranitidine and gaviscon
Answer: i'm sorry you're experiencing this. you need to get it checked out right away. if the antacids aren't reducing the pain then it may not be caused by heartburn. angina is caused by a reduction in oxygen delivery to the heart muscle which causes pain. do not try to self-diagnose angina. you need to seek professional care as soon as possible. take care!

Question: what medication can be used for minor throat and chest pain following endoscopy?
Answer: the type of pain you describe certainly is common after endoscopy and i'm sorry you're experiencing it. generally speaking throat lozenges or any kind of hard candy (sugar-free if you have diabetes) can soothe the irritation of the throat after endoscopy. you also may use an over-the-counter pain reliever such as acetaminophen (tylenol) ibuprofen (motrin advil) or naproxyn (aleve). keep in mind ibuprofen and naproxyn are blood thinners that can promote bleeding so you may want to avoid those for a few days after your endoscopy. also if you take acetaminophen be sure to follow the label instructions. taking too much acetaminophen can damage your liver. do not exceed the maximum daily dose. hope this helps!

Question: is death from colon cancer with metastasis to liver lung brain and skull painful. stage 4+. will he lose bowel control? . my brother has developed a servere case of hiccups and nausea and was told by his doctor they are caused by the tumors in the liver and brain. he's been given thorzene but it has some bad affects on him. is there any other drug that would give him some relief? he doesn't want to eat anything because of this condition. if he doesn't eat and keep it down they won't release him from the hospital. as things progress will he most likely lose bladder and bowel control.
Answer: i'm so very sorry to hear you're going through this. i think the user name you chose "overwhelmed " says it all. has anyone talked with your brother about hospice care? hospice care is generally associated with end-of-life but in reality many people with a serious health condition who require medical attention at home can qualify for hospice. one of the main goals of hospice care is to relieve pain and suffering. it sounds from your question like you don't want your brother to suffer. hospice care can help with that. hospice also can help you and your brother understand physical end-of-life issues such as possible loss of bladder and bowel control -- and how to cope with these developments if they occur. the hospital social worker or discharge planner can help educate you about your hospice choices. i hope you find this information helpful. i wish you and your brother all the best.

Question: what is alkaline phosphatase?
Answer: alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme produced by the body to help break down certain types of molecules such as proteins. the liver produces most of the alkaline phosphatase in our bodies but the intestines kidneys and bones produce small amounts too. alkaline phosphatase is measured by blood testing. called the "alp" test it is useful for diagnosing several diseases and conditions. for example high alp levels can indicate blocked bile ducts in the liver bone disease or celiac disease. low alp levels can indicate certain types of anemias or rarely specific types of cancer. it's worth noting that oral contraceptives (birth control pills) also can cause low alp levels. if you have tested high or low for alkaline phosphatase your healthcare provider will tell you if more testing is required or if there's anything you need to do about the situation.
Question: decreased blood flow to tissues is called ischemia?
Answer: you're pretty close. the term ' ischemia ' refers to decreased oxygen delivery to various tissues. decreased blood flow can contribute to ischemia (since blood delivers oxygen) but ischemia can occur even with adequate blood flow. for example if something about your blood reduces its ability to carry oxygen molecules--such as anemia. ischemia can occur to any tissue. a few of the more-common types of ischemia are cardiac ischemia intestinal ischemia and even hip bone ischemia (also called avascular necrosis ). prolonged lack of oxygen to the tissue will cause the tissue to die. this is called 'infarction. ' in the case of the heart a prolonged lack of oxygen to the tissue will cause a heart attack or 'myocardial infarction. ' even brain tissue will die if it fails to receive enough oxygen. i hope this answers your question. wishing you well!

Question: can a bad liver be cause of swelling of hands & feet
Answer: liver failure doesn't usually cause swelling of the hands and feet. more commonly a liver problem can cause swelling of the abdomen. this is called ascites (pronounced uh-sy-tees). it is not uncommon for the legs and feet to swell. this can be caused by eating a lot of salt (which causes a person to retain water) or standing all day (such as at a job like. nursing! ). however whenever a person experiences swelling of the hands and feet especially at the same time for no known reason then it's a sign you should take a trip to the doctor's office. there are a variety of conditions that can cause this type of swelling (some of them not serious) and it would be good to get a diagnosis. your healthcare provider will perform a physical exam and possibly do some lab tests. once you know what you're dealing with you likely can get on the path to wellness. wishing you well!
Question: do peptides in moisturizers really work?
Answer: peptides actually have really great data behind them and they do work but they have to be in the right formulation and the right concentration. any product you use there are two main parts to it: one is the actual active ingredient and the other is the vehicle. so you need that active ingredient in this case the peptide to be in a vehicle that will help support and deliver it where you want it to go in the skin. so in a good formulation you will get great results from peptides that will help hydrate the skin relax fine lines and wrinkles and make your pores appear smaller and even up the skin tone as well.
Question: what i should do to get rid of eye puffiness? and if i’m looking for cosmetic surgery do i need general anesthesia?
Answer: look for under-eye creams that contain ingredients such as niacinamide peptides and caffeine. be careful to also manage your salt intake get enough sleep and try not to rub the area around your eyes. if you have allergies/sinusitis be sure to keep them under control as much as possible since that can also contribute to the puffiness in this area. the under-eye area is also one place where stress shows very quickly so managing your stressors is helpful as well. avoid heavy eye creams that trap moisture into the skin and may cause puffiness. make sure you use a full face product with anti-aging ingredients that deliver firmness and protect skin from uv damage and ensure you add a targeted eye cream or serums for extra care.

Question: can i bring my 88 year old father who has stage iv copd to denver where the altitude is 5500 feet. i would like my dad to come live his last days out with me. i certainly don't want to be the cause of his death but he is miserable where he is. is it worth the risk? we have an excellent oxygen concentrator that gives him a good pulse burst and he does breathing treatments. he wouldn't have to do anything that would cause over exertion. is it worth the risk?
Answer: you ask a fascinating question and one that is very worthy of discussing with your dad's physician. i tried to search for some relevant studies on this topic and did not find very many. in general people with copd do worse at high altitudes whether they have lived at altitude for a long term or not. the issues with ventilation at altitude are more complex than simple oxygen delivery. there also are issues of breathing mechanics and heart function that come into play. all of this is not to say you should not move your dad to be with you in denver. i'm saying it could be manageable if you discuss it in advance with some good doctors and learn what things you need to do to manage your dad's condition at high altitude. or you might both decide the risks are too great. my personal opinion is that quality of life matters more than quantity of life -- especially when a person reaches an advanced age. i would suggest you consult with your father's doctor (or with a physician in denver) to find out if the benefits for your dad would outweigh the risks. wishing you well!
