It feels like i am almost going to have a heart attack when i lay down and my whole chest tremors.I even fear i may have already had a small heart attack or something. im 37 and my appearance looks normal/a bit thin.

If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | hello doctor, I am physiotherapist. my query is about consanguineous marriages, My parents are arranging marriage to my cousine only, i have a doubt about children health.Please guide whether their will be any physicall or mentall disabilities in the children. | Hi...scientifically seeing consanguineous marriages are not advisable as the kids may be prone for some inherited disorders which might be running sub-clinically in the family line. Another issue is that it can lead to pregnancy complications and birth weight issues. But at the same time it doesn't mean that all consanguineous marriages will lead to defective babies. It is not so. The best way for you will be that - Consult a genetics specialist (both of you) and get evaluated and then take a decision of the marriage. Regards - |

If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | hi I am a 14 year old girl who has been sucking her fingers since she was in her mums tummy.. i cant seem to stop and i have tried everything.. no creams can make me stop because i just seem to suck the stuff off. and hugging pillows or blankets doesnt give me the satisfaction of my fingers.. im really worried for my teeth .A dentist has told me before that the way i suck my teeth isnt harming the way they are.. but i still want to stop and i just dont know how. My fingers sooth me and keep me calm so i can sleep in a way nothing else can. i only do it at night and when im really tired.. please help | Hi and welcome, Finger sucking and thumb sucking habit is very injurious as dental health is concerned. Although thumb sucking is a normal habit it causes serious teeth problems if it continues long after the eruption of permanent teeth. Prolonged finger sucking can create crowded, crooked teeth and bite problems. You may also develop speech problems or problems with swallowing properly. Protrusion and displacement of front teeth are usual results of thumb sucking. This can affect your facial appearance and cause further emotional problems. You can follow few steps to avoid the habit :Ask your family member to carefully remove your fingers from mouth during sleep Don't be in anxiety or fear. If you have any emotional problems, or under stress, and you need comforting, you may need to resolve those issues first before successfully stopping the habit. Use a finger sucking guard. - your dentist might suggest the use of special devices to stop thumb sucking, called finger guards. A finger or thumb guard is a device with a plastic cover of the thumb that is attached to wrist. . Treatment with thumb guards usually lasts four weeks and helps to stop thumb sucking successfully. I hope this helps, take care |
If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | I have been diagnosed with biceps tendinopathy and supraspinatus tenosynovitis of the right shoulder following a vehicle accident over 7 months ago and despite a steroid injection and months of physical therapy, I can barely move my right shoulder, is there any real help for this? | Hello, As you met an accident where you were diagnosed with biceps retinopathy and supraspinatus tenosynovitis I wonder why the shoulder functions have not resumed even after 6 months. Have you taken an MRI of the shoulder? If so what was the reports? If not then please do take it. I suspect this to be a rotator cuff injury. Because any injury happening to the shoulder with two muscle injury falls in the group. The rotator cuff muscles are weak. You need to work out behind it. Shoulder function can resume only when we have good range of motion in passive for all the movements and also if we overcome the pain. In fact, I should share one of the rotator cuff injury cases of mine. It was a case of 65 years old female with the above-mentioned injury. No passive or active shoulder movements. But to overcome the problems, I use to make the muscle tire by active ROM exercises and no weights. Just gravity assisted and gravity resisted ones. In fact all the shoulder movements like - flexion, extension, rotation, abduction, adduction and circumduction. At the end of the 12th week, she had the best movements without any kind of pain and shoulder was much stronger than before. I will advise you to look for a competitive physiotherapist who can help you get the best outcome score. If left untreated it will lead to other pathologies which are not accepted. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. |

If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | MY 29 yr old son went to the emergency room 1month ago with a quarter size lump in his neck below the ear. they tried to drain it because they originally thought it was a cyst or an infected hair follicle. With in 4 days the lump was the size of a hockey puck and extremely painful. They did surgery to remove it, but didn t take it out 2x s. Once before a mri and petscan, and once after, but both times they just sewed him back up and said if they removed it, they would be doing more damage than the tumor. He says he has a non-cell malignancy. He told me today it is stage 4 melanoma. He is in his 4th week of daily radiation, but he said that he has been told he is inoperable, uncurable, but manageable. He originally told me that the tumor was solo, and not attached to anything when he had an ultrasound, but 4 days later when they did the 2nd surgery it has wrapped itself around things in his neck. What kind of cancer does this? Is he terminal?He lives in another state and I think he is keeping information from me to spare my feelings? | Hi, Thanks for writing in. It appears that your son has a melanoma that might have spread to neck lymph nodes. This is a possibility and has to be confirmed by doing a biopsy. What happens is that lymph nodes are found in many regions of the body and are small unless they are stimulated by disease process. When there is a disease in a person then the lymph nodes of a particular region get enlarged and this is a reaction by the immune mechanism. Since your son has been told that he has a melanoma, it has probably involved the neck lymph nodes. The lymph nodes in the neck are close to the carotid artery and internal jugular vein, and it is possible that the lymph nodes have wrapped around these. Doing a surgery in this condition is not possible and radiation usually works. It is suggested that you spend some time with your son by going over to his place and know more about the treatment he should be taking for his condition. Please do not worry. |

This morning there was also blood trickling from her calf, her feet have become a very dark shade of purple.I have called the palliative care people, who dismiss it as "the progression of the disease". What causes this? Can it be treated? is it a sign she is nearing the end of her life? | HiT hanks for your query. It appears that she is at the terminal stage of her disease.

If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, my daughter age 19 just returned from Uganda. She is experiencing pain at her back rib on lft side. A phys therapist that was on the trip thought she may have popped a rib. She has no insurance. We can go to an urgent care facility but they dont have xray. Would that be required for treatment? Thanks. | GREETINGS! ANSWER : Fracture or dislocation of the rib can be only confirmed through X-ray. If it's a fracture or dislocation then, There is no specific treatment for rib fractures, but various supportive measures can be taken. In simple rib fractures, pain can lead to reduced movement and cough suppression; this can contribute to formation of secondary chest infection. Adequate analgesia can avoid this! Flail chest is a potentially life-threatening injury and will often require a period of assisted ventilation. Flail chest and first rib fractures are high-energy injuries and should prompt investigation of damage to underlying viscera (e.g., lung contusion) or remotely (e.g., cervical spine injury). Other treatment includes internal fixation of rib! |
