Question: How serious is the risk for stomach ulcers from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)?
Answer: The chance of getting an ulcer or stomach bleeding rises even more if you also take corticosteroids (often called "steroids") for RA or blood thinners, or anticoagulants. Also, the longer you use NSAIDs, the greater the risk of stomach bleeding and ulcers. Older adults, especially over 65, are more likely to get stomach bleeding and ulcers, as do those who drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. If you take NSAIDs to ease the inflammation, pain, and stiffness of RA, talk with your doctor about ways to protect your stomach. If you're at high risk for stomach bleeding, you may need a strong stomach acid blocker to help prevent ulcers.

Question: What are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)?
Answer: NSAIDs -- or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs -- are commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. They help manage the chronic pain, inflammation, and swelling tied to RA. They do not slow down the disease. Most people with RA also take other types of medications, such as methotrexate or biologics, to help prevent further joint damage.
Question: What are some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA)?
Answer: These include: Aspirin ( Bufferin, Bayer) Celecoxib ( Celebrex) Diclofenac ( Cataflam, Voltaren) Diflunisal ( Dolobid) Etodolac ( Lodine) Fenoprofen ( Nalfon) Flurbiprofen ( Ansaid) Ibuprofen ( Advil, Motrin) Indomethacin ( Indocin) Ketoprofen ( Oruvail, Orudis) Ketorolac ( Toradol) Meloxicam ( Mobic) Nabumetone ( Relafen) Naproxen ( Aleve, Anaprox, Naprelan, Naprosyn) Oxaprozin ( Daypro) Piroxicam ( Feldene) Salsalate ( Amigesic) Sulindac ( Clinoril) Tolmetin ( Tolectin) Arthrotec is an NSAID that combines diclofenac with another active ingredient, misoprostol, that helps prevent stomach irritation. Prevacid Naprapac combines naproxen with the acid blocker Prevacid to lower your chances of getting stomach ulcers. Vimovo is a combination of naproxen and the acid blocker Nexium.
Question: How do non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work?
Answer: They block your body's â Coxâ enzymes. This cuts down on inflammation and reduces pain and stiffness.

Question: How do chest scans help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
Answer: An X-ray lets your doctor see the structures inside your body. It may show shadows on your lungs that suggest scar tissue. You may also need an HRCT scan (high-resolution computed tomography). It's a sharper and more detailed type of X-ray that can spot signs of IPF at an earlier stage.
Question: How does pulse oximetry help diagonse idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
Answer: Your doctor clips a small sensor to the tip of your finger or ear. It sends a painless beam of light through your skin to check the oxygen level in your arteries.
Question: How do blood tests help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
Answer: It's used to check your oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Your doctor takes blood from an artery on the inside of your wrist, arm, or groin. It may be slightly more painful than a regular blood test, which takes a sample from your veins. You may feel some discomfort. You'll need to sit calmly and keep pressure on the spot for a few minutes afterward to keep it from bleeding.
Question: How is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) diagnosed?
Answer: If you or your doctor think you may have the disease, make an appointment as soon as possible with a pulmonologist, a specialist in lung health. He'll ask you about your family history and past medical issues. He'll want to know about things like: Whether you've ever smoked or used drugs What kind of work you do (to see if something you breathe in at your job could irritate your lungs) Other medical problems you have Whether anyone else in your family has lung disease How long you've had symptoms, such as shortness of breath or coughing He'll also give you a physical exam, which will include listening to your breathing through a stethoscope.
Question: How do skin tests help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
Answer: Tuberculosis causes symptoms that are like IPF, so you may need a test to rule out this disease. Your doctor uses a tiny needle to inject a substance under the top layer of skin on your arm. This will form a small bubble, like a blister. You'll need to see your doctor or lab technician 48 to 72 hours later to see if there's a reaction, which will look like a red, swollen bump.
Question: How does a breathing test help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
Answer: You take a deep breath in and then blow as hard as you can into a tube connected to the device. You'll wear a clip on your nose so you can only breathe in and out of your mouth. It measures how well your lungs push oxygen through your bloodstream while you're moving around.
Question: How do lung biopsies help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
Answer: Your doctor clips a small sensor to the tip of your finger or ear. There are different ways to do it. Your doctor may put a needle through your chest, or he may put a long, thin tube through your mouth and down your throat. For some biopsies, you'll only need "local anesthesia," which is medicine that numbs an area on your body. For others you'll need drugs that make you sleep while the procedure is done. You may be asked to stop eating for 8 hours before the biopsy. Make sure to find out if there are any other ways you need to prepare.
Question: How do exercise tests help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
Answer: Your doctor may use a device called a spirometer to measure how well your lungs are working. You may have to walk on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bike while hooked up to devices that measure your heart rate, blood pressure, and how much oxygen is in your blood.
Question: What other health problems can sleep apnea cause?
Answer: High blood pressure.
Question: Which non drowsy antihistamines can you take for chronic hives?
Answer: The meds come in different forms: Non-drowsy: Your doctor will probably want you to try over-the-counter options like cetirizine ( Zyrtec), fexofenadine ( Allegra), and loratadine ( Claritin) first. They won't make you sleepy. They usually only cause mild side effects, like dry mouth and eyes. It's important to take these every day, not just when you have a breakout.
Question: How is omalizumab (Xolair) used to treat chronic hives?
Answer: Omalizumab ( Xolair) is approved for those who don't get relief from antihistamines. Your doctor injects it under your skin. Experts think it blocks a different chemical in your immune system that contributes to hives.
Question: What are the side effects of omalizumab (Xolair) for chronic hives?
Answer: Side effects of this medication include: Headache Upset stomach A slightly higher chance of heart disease or a stroke Rarely, a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis If those drugs don't work, your doctor may try anti-inflammatory medications or something called an immunosuppressant, which curbs your immune system.
Question: How are antihistamines used for chronic hives?
Answer: Talk to your doctor about these options: These medications block something called histamine. That's a chemical in the skin that can cause allergy symptoms like hives.
Question: How do steroids work to treat chronic hives?

Answer: Other symptoms are: Disorganized thinking Speech or language that doesn't make sense Unusual behavior and dress Problems with memory Disorientation or confusion Changes in eating or sleeping habits, energy level, or weight Not being able to make decisions Experts don't know what causes brief psychotic disorder. It is possible there is a genetic link since the condition is more common in people who have a family history of psychotic or mood disorders, such as depression or bipolar disorder. Another theory suggests that poor coping skills could trigger the disorder as a defense against or escape from a very frightening or stressful situation. In most cases, the disorder is triggered by a major stress or traumatic event. For some women, childbirth can be a trigger.

There are three basic forms of brief psychotic disorders: Brief psychotic disorder with obvious stressor (also called brief reactive psychosis): This type happens shortly after a trauma or major stress, such as the death of a loved one, an accident, assault, or a natural disaster. It's usually a reaction to a very disturbing event. Brief psychotic disorder without obvious stressor: With this type, there is no apparent trauma or stress that triggers it. Brief psychotic disorder with postpartum onset: This type only happens in women, usually within 4 weeks of having a baby.
Question: What are some newer medications that can help treat brief psychotic disorder?
Answer: These include: Chlorpromazine ( Thorazine) Fluphenazine ( Prolixin) Haloperidol ( Haldol) Loxapine ( Loxitane) Perphenazine ( Trilafon) Trifluoperazine ( Stelazine) Thioridazine ( Mellaril) Thiothixene ( Navane) Newer medications, which doctors call âatypical antipsychoticâ drugs, include: Aripiprazole ( Abilify) lozapine ( Clozaril) Lurasidone ( Latuda) Olanzapine ( Zyprexa) Paliperidone ( Invega) Quetiapine ( Seroquel) Risperidone ( Risperdal) Ziprasidone ( Geodon) If someone with this condition is very anxious or has problems with sleep, their doctor may prescribe tranquilizers such as diazepam ( Valium) and lorazepam ( Ativan).
Question: How do doctors diagnose brief psychotic disorder?
Answer: Someone with brief psychotic disorder will probably get medication to treat psychotic symptoms and possibly also psychotherapy (a type of counseling). They may need to be hospitalized for a time if their symptoms are severe or if they might harm themselves or someone else.
Question: How long does brief psychotic disorder usually last?
Answer: After that, people usually recover completely. It's rare, but for some people, it may happen more than once. If symptoms last for more than 6 months, doctors may consider whether the person has schizophrenia.
