And every time I had one, my heart would not only beat fast but it would have irregular heart beats. It would go from fast to slow drastically and would have an extra beat. And it would have one really hard beat every couple of minutes. It would feel like pressure on my heart and would only have little pain. I went to the hospital and they said everythings ok and normal after the tests and EKG and x ray. Now About two weeks later I have been experiencing pain on the left side of my chest, when I inhale to a certain point it would hurt really bad. Ive read about it and I had all the symptoms of PCS, so I think I may have PCS. I went to the hospital on the same day I had an episide if what I think is PCS. And theyve done the same tests. An EKG an xray and they said everything is ok and normal. But I still have been having the pain for about 16 hours now. And im kind of worried, but when I go to the hospital they say im ok and that Its just muscle spasms. I need to know whats going on. Please help.. Thank you ### REPLY: Hi, Getting a heart disease at your age is very rare if all your tests are normal. So you need to stop worrying from the cardiac point of view. If you keep thinking about the disease our brain adapts accordingly and make us think we are diseased. Chest pain can have a lot of causesSymptoms like you are telling(pain increases with breathing) looks like Costco . You just need a painkiller and stop worrying. The condition will gradually go in a week. Thanks ### END

Thank you for asking on ! Your symptoms could be related to anxiety. Besides, after a large meal, the stomach distention can cause elevation of the diaphragm leading to skipped heart beats or palpitations. Anyway, considering the fact that these phenomena is repeating frequently, I would recommend performing some tests to investigate for the possible underlying causes: - a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound to examine your heart function and structure- a chest X-ray study for possible hiatal hernia that may trigger these symptoms-complete blood count for anemia-thyroid hormone levels for possible dysfunction- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia. If all the above tests result normal, there is nothing to worry about! It may be just a little anxiety. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Hope to have been helpful!

This test has a LFT again, also Gamma gt and all phos. Would like to know what this means and should I have concern at this stage. Many thanksSteve ### REPLY: Hi.noted history of abdominal pain and liver concerns. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. It may be of hepaticopancreaticobiliary tree problem, such as liver cysts, gallstones or other gallbladder disease. Diagnostica (such as ultrasound, complete blood count, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ . ### END

He now has jaundice and has stopped all meds. He cant get to the the doctor till after the weekend. Is there something otc for pain? Also can he take his sleep aide? ### REPLY: Dear friend due to jaundice you can not take higher analgesic/painkiller. Take simple analgesic like paracetamol when needed along with omeprazole/pantoprazole/sanitizing + risperidone to prevent gastritis/nausea in jaundice. It will be better if you don't take any medicines for inducing sleep. Though if you want to take alprazolam 0.25 mg. Hope this answer will be helpful to you. For more queries please don't hesitate to ask. Get well soon dear friend ### END

So i went to get a drink of water. after i had my drink of water, i felt like i was going to puke. So i ran to the bathroom, where i proceeded to vomit projectically... i felt something pop in my chest and i started coming up with blood and nothing else. The rest of the night ive had a really sharp pain in my chest that hurts whenever i drink anything. ### REPLY: Thanks for your question on . I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should immediately consult gastroenterologist and get done clinical examination and upper GI (gastrointestinal) copy to rule out bleeding from stomach or esophagus. You are having hematemesis (vomiting with blood). And gastric ulcer is the likely cause for this. You're all symptoms' chest pain, vomiting etc. are also suggestive of gastritis and gastric ulcer. So better to consult gastroenterologist and get done endoscopic examination of stomach. It is therapeutic also in stopping blood. Endoscopic measures like glue, banding etc. are helpful in stoppage of blood. Also do following things for better symptomatic relief. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid stress and tension. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. ### END

Do you know how normal i am supposed to look / how much the swelling should decrease? ### REPLY: Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to . I read and understand your concern. I am answering your concern. This is the case of allergy to the penicillin injection. After injection this reaction appears. It should be controlled by giving prednisolone and chlorpheniramine male ate. Your doctor has given you the same therapy. The swelling will be slowed gradually. The prescribed therapy by doctor was right, and you should continue to it. Though it takes some time, but it will gradually disappear. As it is not a severe reaction you can wait till your three-day therapy is going to complete. You have to maintain the good hygiene by cleaning and . Please avoid injury. You can substitute the penicillin with other good antibiotics. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ ### END

It bruised it pretty badly and then as the bruising went away I noticed a knot or bump on my knee. It is painful if I press on it, otherwise it is just uncomfortable when I walk. What could this lump be? I fell about 2 1/2 weeks ago. ### REPLY: Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to virtual Clinic. I studied your query in all the details put forth by you. I understood your health concerns. Cause of the health problems you queried-There are many causes of the lumps on your right knee after the recent fall. To rule out other causes, I would advise you to consult ER surgeon, who would examine it and treat it accordingly. Still with my expertise and experience, I would suggest you to rule out following causes with your ER OrthoSurgeon. Cause in your case-As the lump is of 2 1/2 weeks duration after review of your query data, it seems to be due to either of the following reasons--Post-traumatic Hematoma with traumatic swelling-which is in process of recovery and may take another 2-3 weeks.-If it doesn't settle after 4-6 weeks, Pre-Patellar Bursitis(Housemaids Knee)-post-traumatic needs to be ruled out. Both above possibilities needs to be ruled as only discomfort is felt by you while walking. In the absence of more information, I would advise Second opinion in your case, who would examine it and investigate it to treat it as per the cause of the lump. So I would advise you to consult ER OrthoSurgeon, who would rule out other causes of such a lump and would help you out with the fist hand information. Do take his Second Opinion, on the above suggestion, as he would advise you with fist hand clinical information. Hope this would resolve your query with full satisfaction.

I asked from Doc, he said it is perfectly fine as far as she is active. he prescribed some hunger medicines also, but even then her appetite is not increasing. I am having night mares thinking of her diet. I am giving her soaked raisins but that also come out from her body in full. Please help. ### REPLY: Please stop worrying and having nightmares about something that does not actually even qualify to be called a medical problem! Child . You cannot judge a children appetite by what she is eating, but by how much she is growing (your daughter is THRIVING) and how active she is (which she appears to be!) Trust your children doctor. What he has said is correct. Stop any hunger medicines if you ARE using these treatments. Best wishes, ### END

In my opinion all your symptoms correlate with pregnancy symptoms. But as the pregnancy test is negative there might be no chance of pregnancy. Usually the urine pregnancy test gives accurate results a week after missed period in case of regular cycles. As you are 6 weeks now it should have been positive by now. Repeat the test after a week and if negative wait for spontaneous onset of periods for a week and I suggest you to consult doctor for further management. Avoid stress regarding the pregnancy or anything as it might cause hormonal imbalance and further delay the periods. So relax. Best regards... ### END

The top and sides i have already done. But I would now like to trim the back of her hair without any discomfort to her. She has dementia and every little thing upsets her from her normal routine. ### REPLY: Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Dementia is a broad category of brain diseases that includes any disease that causes loss of cognitive ability (the ability to think and reason clearly) that is severe enough to affect a person daily functioning. It must also be a worsening of functioning compared to how the person was previously. The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer's disease. Other common forms of dementia include: Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, progressive supra nuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, normal pressure HY . But whatever may be the form of dementia, hair cut is not related to the form, it is related to the patient. You and your people know the patient better than we here. You must have tried all conventional methods. A visit to the hair ### END

This has now come back to normal, but her doctor told her today she sufffers from a shaky heart. What exactly does that mean? ### REPLY: At this age it's not abnormal to have high blood pressure bouts sometimes but when she is okay now, no need to worry. Shaky heart denotes rapid palpitation. May get Thyroid test done and Blood sugar for any hypoglycemic effect just to exclude. Tachycardia may be excluded too. All these possibilities may be excluded only after tests, but my experience prompts me to tell you to opt for an Ayurveda course - safe, no side effects, economic, easy to take and even may be given to healthy persons. Arjuna is a herb (Terminal Arjuna) whose bark is given in powdered form. Available in capsule form too by Himalaya herbs co. It may be given with AMLA (Indian gooseberry powder in capsule form) and Prajwal pistil (powder made of Corals). These are natural things. If you give it to your mother, you may start seeing the changes yourself.However, if you are not satisfied, other tests can be done anytime and toxic . Better to meet any Ayurveda doctor near you to get decisions of dosage etc. These capsules are available all over the world. Prajwal Pistil has to be found out. I hope this will do away your worries. ### END

Thank you for the query. This can be a lump caused by swelling due to ankle overload or stretched ankle. It may be also a varicose vein. Especially if it is soft and less visible when lying down and gets more visible at the end of the day. If you have also ankle pain, this is rather swelling. I suggest you to consult orthopedist if ankle problem sounds possible. If its more varicose vein, Doppler's ultrasound should be done. Hope this will help. Regards. ### END

I want to request a CT scan because I think it is my gall bladder. ### REPLY: Hi and welcome to . Thank you for your query. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Yes, this may be gallbladder issue but if only ALP is elevated then I don't think that urgent measures are required. If other liver markers are fine than it may be just small gallbladder stone that passed so only lab follow up in few weeks is required. You can do ultrasound to see if stones are present, but CT scan is not necessary. You need to change your dietary habits first. Need to avoid fried food, carbonated . You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. Some other causes are less common and include biliary tree pathology, but this is not likely at this point if no symptoms are present and liver markers are fine, I hope I have answered you query.

We are not planning to have a child for another year but I missed my period last month and the pregnancy test is showing positive. I have taken mtp kit as consulted by a gynecologist. But now this month I missed my period and the pregnancy test is showing positive can I take MTP tablet. I want to now how many time take MTP tablet. ### REPLY: Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Period inconsistency may be due to hormonal imbalance, mental stress, POD, over weight, high prolactin, pelvic infection etc. Intake of MTP tablet should be limited to 1-2 times in whole reproductive life to avoid ill-health effect. Repeated intake is NOT recommended as it may create future problem in conceiving. I suggest to use regular combined OCP if you don't want child for next one year. Medical abortion at home without doctors prescription and guidance is NOT recommended. For proper dosing and direction of using those pills, you need to consult with local doctor, which will be helpful also in emergency. It can be done up to 9 wk safely by using abortion pills (Tab Bisoprolol and Tab Mifepristone, present in MTP Kit) under observation or guidance of gynecologist as it may cause unnecessary excessive vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain etc. and may require surgical method (D & C) to complete abortion. Don't take those pills by yourself. Practice safe sex and use emergency pill or condom to avoid unwanted pregnancy in the future. Good luck. ### END

She is extremly scared because of her son.. I am primarily a behavioral helath specialist and know very little about cancer besides doing continuous care for hospice which is not a good reference at this point. Can you eplain about this cancer to me. They removed the mass from her groin to her leg from the crease. The incision is about 6 inches. ### REPLY: Hi, probably the diagnosis is not mentioned correctly. Can you please mention the detail pathology report? I doubt this is lymphoma or some other disease. Has she got any swelling in any other area like armpit, neck, opposite groin. Even it came as lymphoma detail imaging like chest, abdomen CT scan to be done. If necessary bone marrow biopsy to be done for proper staging. Then treatment will be planned accordingly. Do not worry. Lymphoma has got good treatment option. ### END

She will be three in December. I have fibroids , diabetes which was diagnosed in my successful pregnancy. I have been trying to concieve for over a year now and have not been successful. Can fibroids contribute to a miscarriage and/or infertility? The only symptom I have is a bloated tummy but otherwise my periods are fine. ### REPLY: Hi, There are multiple problems concerned in your case. I would have liked to know your previous pregnancies were assisted or natural conception. There can be multiple causes for infertility. Yes, fibroid can be one of the causes of infertility but rarely by itself can cause recurrent miscarriages. However, It's important to know the size and location of fibroid for considering its treatment. I hope you have checked your sugars after your pregnancy, as it may persist even after pregnancy in few people. I would advise you to meet your gynecologist and consider starting the infertility treatment at the earliest, specially considering your age. All the best. ### END

And myextrahepatic measures 10mm at its proximal third tapering to approx 8mm distally could you please explain. Thanks ### REPLY: Hi, If the MRI is not showing any cause for obstruction then you need not worry. Postcholcytectomized state can also give rise to dilatation. A 10 mm duct becoming 8 mm is suggestive of narrowing which can be extrinsic or intrinsic and needs to be evaluated. At times a Contrast enhanced Ct yields more information on such issues. Get a stool occult blood examination done. If positive then an upper GIs copy and Ct may be indicated. Reagrds ### END

I was a professional water skier aka professional fool at ABC Marine World/ Africa U.S.A in Calif. I obtained a spinal cord injury. My husband retired and we moved to Washington state, Since moving to our Dream Retirement property I have been unable to find a pain Doctor. My Pain Dr.s neurosurgeons had told us this was the Meca of Pain Management . I have been forced to be almost totally bedridden or in our hot tub due to the fact that Washington State has some new laws on pain meds. Sitting in a hot tub for 4-6 hours a day is not much of a life, I am unable to walk without forearm crutches. I am fused from L2 to the sacrum anterior and posterior with screw Instrumentation (Harrington rods). I was hospitalized due to naseau which would last up to 16 hours at a time. While I was hospitalized the Doctors at the hospital NOT ME set up an appointment for me to be seen by a general practishioner which Washington State requires. I went to the appointment as scheduled then all hell broke loose. I was discharged from the general practicioner because I was seen by another Doctor. Total shock to me since I was only doing was the Hospital had set up. I did NOT request pain meds, but the doctor wrote me a for Norco at the rate of 4 day. since in Calif. my pain management doctors had me on 9 a day (I understand about the Tylenol) I had a DEFECTIVE Medtronic Pain pump which stuck out of my stomach like a tuna can. I am considering it again as well as a spinal cord stimulator. ### REPLY: Your situation seems to be complex. From what I understand, because you had obtained a narcotics prescription from another physician, your GP may have considered this as a violation of the narcotics contract and that's why discharged you. I would recommend finding a new GP, and when you see him/her explain the situation up front. He/She can then refer you to a pain specialist since it looks like you will need close follow up and advanced treatment ### END

I havent been able to go doctors but was concerned whether this may be related to my heart condition. Please advise me on this and the best medicine to take. ### REPLY: Hi Nash at ! Good evening. I am answering your query. Even though heart problem could also mimic as a gases or acidity in the upper abdomen (epigastric region), we can not conclude on it without related investigations and a physical examination by your treating doctor. The fever with stomach pain points more to an infective origin like a food poisoning if you had any food from outside recently. I would also advise for an ultrasound of abdomen to rule any chances of a cholecystitis/cholelithiasis for the pain and fever. Till the reports of clinical examination and investigation reports are ready, you can take some proton pump inhibitor, a probiotic, and an antispasmodic . Further management would depend on the results of investigations and physical examination. 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 to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. . ### END

So i wang to know that whether this loosening of sperms without masturbation is harmful and if it is then at what extent. Please kindly inform me. ### REPLY: Hello, Thanks for choosing for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Masturbation is a safe way of expressing ones own sexual desires. It leads to know physical or mental problems. The sperms and semen which are formed in the body are meant to come out of the body. They cannot be accumulated in the body and like urine they are formed in the body and are thrown out. They may come out on having sex or during masturbation. If you are indulging in none of these then the sperms and semen will come out at night by self (night fall) or routinely during any sexual stimulation. This is a normal phenomenon and will not cause any harm to you. Masturbation is safe and will cause no harm. It is harmful only when indulged in excessively leading to avoidance of normal work and schedule. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, or want to know further details, you can use the below-mentioned link:bit.ly/ . ### END

Right now we are giving nebulization with Levolin but its not controlled from past 2 to 3 days. Apart from this nebulization we are ging Asthelin Syrup 3 time per day as prescribed by doctor. Please help to improve his health. If a kid gets continues cough(dry cough) after nebulization how we can we treat this situation. Thanks much, Srinivasa Reddy.P ### REPLY: Thank you for using .hi mam. I think your sons' asthma is poorly controlled that is why he has been having attacks every month. Better to see a pediatric pulmonologist for this problem. Your kid needs a step-up in the asthma controller medications. This means you have to add other medications (ex: steroids, montelukast, cetirizine, etc.) to your current albuterol nebulizations. Sincerely, Mark Rosario MD pediatric pulmonology ### END

It s been a few days and I still feel somthing a slight pain discomfort! ### REPLY: Hi, If it's been a few days since you heard the pop which occurred while asleep and there was no nausea, vomiting, double vision, slurred speech, or other constitutional symptoms then, you may have heard an auditory phenomenon associated with the nightmare, but it is not clinically concerning or relevance. If you are having headaches that are not going away then, you should see your doctor for a more detailed story on the symptoms of the headaches which are likely treatable with simple measures. However, what you describe does not likely involve any blood vessels, aneurysms, or strokes should any of those entities be of concern to you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. ### END

I check my BP and during these same time periods it is higher than normal (120/78 <150/95) Could the higher BP be related to the stress of PVCs and lack of sleep? ### REPLY: Hello, Actually PVC can only be detected in EKG. Only if there are any symptoms, then one can say it is PVC. Some of these symptoms are flushing sensation in the head and in the shoulder. But it can be caused by another illness as well and other functional factors. High blood pressure may be not related to PVC. Because PVC is a complex phenomenon; most of the time it is nonspecific and may disappear on its own. Hope I have answered your query, Let me know for further assistance. ### END
