For the past 3 months, I have been experiencing this facial tightness which comes pretty often throughout the day with different intensity. The facial tension usually comes half an hour after I leave the bed. The tightness on my face happens to be on both sides of my face but usually more intense on the right. At times, I can feel it from my neck all the way up to my face. As of recent, I have been feeling this slight burning sensation on my chest to my shoulders as well. Prior to this facial tightness, I have been suffering from this burning feeling on the centre of my chest for about a month. It was my first time experiencing heartburn and I thought it was heart related. Went for X-rays and echo heart ultrasound. Everything came out fine. I have a healthy heart. What made the burning chest sensation go away temporarily is lying down, eating, exercising and drinking alcohol. And the weird part is the same thing helps me relieve my facial tightness temporarily is the same thing as that for the burning chest sensation; lying down, eating, exercising and drinking alcohol.Since having this facial tightness, I have paid numerous visits to different doctors, even the neuro-specialist and they all said it was anxiety. The doctors did facial senses test where they take a piece of fine cotton to touch different parts of my face. I had to close my eyes and tell them where the spot is. I have no troubles at all. I did blood test. It came out normal. They told me I do not need to do any scans and that it was merely anxiety and it will go off by itself. I convinced myself that I had anxiety because of the one month heartburn ordeal that I was suffering from. Even though the facial tightness was there, I tried my utmost best to ignore it. I do not think that I have any anxiety in me now as I try not to think of the weird tightness sensation. However, it has been 3 whole months and now I am getting alarmed and worried that it is still here and with newer sensations as I described above. In all honesty, I do feel that the intensity of the facial tension as compared to I first experienced it, is less. However, it is always there even as when I am typing this.

He was with someone who now has heart palpitations, sweaty palms and feet, and lightheadedness sitting in the living room. We ran a battery of tests when it first happened including TSH, EKG, lung scans, blood panels, etc. and everything was normal. So we went down the path of anxiety. Four years later, the symptoms continued. As my son now has a terrible fear of doctors, we tried a home blood test to get a full thyroid panel. I have attached the results.The blood work came back normal. Low normal TSH, but low normal T4 and lower normal free T4 and free T3. There is nothing that shows an abnormality. However, his urine test showed moderately low iodine and slightly low selenium. I have read that abnormalities in these measures could cause thyroid problems. What am I wondering is if these two indicators are worth further exploration with an endocrinologist knowing that going to the doctor will cause my son a severe panic.Also, is it possible that low iodine could have been a temporary diet thing and it is masking the signs of hyperthyroidism in the blood work?

Low iodine and selenium levels can contribute to thyroid dysfunction, but it is not clear if they are the cause of your son's symptoms. It is worth consulting with an endocrinologist to further evaluate your son's thyroid function and explore any potential treatment options. However, given your son's severe panic around doctors, it may be beneficial to work on addressing his anxiety symptoms first before pursuing further medical evaluation. A therapist experienced in treating anxiety disorders may be helpful in this regard.

What am I wondering is if these two indicators are worth further exploration with an endocrinologist knowing that going to the doctor will cause my son a severe panic.Also, is it possible that low iodine could have been a temporary diet thing and it is masking the signs of hyperthyroidism in the blood work? He has all of the symptoms of someone with hyperthyroidism. On a side note, I am hypothyroid, my sister is hypothyroid and my two nieces had Hashimoto\\s with my younger niece having thyroid cancer and got her thyroid removed at age of 22. So everyone on my side of the family has thyroid issues. We were wondering if you could please give us some guidance. Looking to see if we need to eliminate thyroid as a possible cause of his symptoms or if it is worth further pursuit. | I understand your concerns regarding your son's symptoms and the possibility of a thyroid problem. Low iodine and selenium levels can contribute to thyroid dysfunction, but it is not clear if they are the cause of your son's symptoms. It is worth consulting with an endocrinologist to further evaluate your son's thyroid function and explore any potential treatment options. However, given your son's severe panic around doctors, it may be beneficial to work on addressing his anxiety symptoms first before pursuing further medical evaluation. A therapist experienced in treating anxiety disorders may be helpful in this regard. Additionally, managing stressors and improving sleep hygiene can also be beneficial for managing anxiety symptoms. |

] | Hello doctor,My father recently had a heart attack and a stroke. Then had two heart valves repaired and they want to put a stent in. His list of medications does not seem to make sense and although he loves his cardiologist. I do not think he is paying enough attention. I am in the medical field and although I am not a pharmacist or an M.D. I know a little bit about adverse drug reactions. Tell me if this makes sense to you.Metoprolol tartrate 25 mg half pill twice a day, Potassium Chloride 20 mEq once daily, Losartan potassium 25 mg once daily, Warfarin sodium 5 mg once daily, Atorvastatin 20 mg, Digozin 25 mcg once daily and Furosemide 40 mg once daily.I need to know if these medications are fine to take all in one day and if so, I would like to split them into two times a day according to the reactions. I feel that so many medications doing the same thing is redundant and unnecessary and causing problems. Please help me. | I'm sorry to hear about your father's health issues.

Should not the dentist remove the nerves so I am not in so much pain? Or is it the standard procedure to fight the infection first and then remove the nerves? | I'm sorry to hear that you're in pain. The procedure you're describing is not a standard root canal procedure. During a root canal, the dentist removes the infected or dead pulp from inside the tooth and cleans and seals the root canals. If the tooth is still painful, medication can be placed in the canals temporarily to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. However, this medication should not be used as a long-term solution.\n\nIt sounds like your dentist is trying to eliminate the infection before completing the root canal. While it's important to eliminate infection before completing the procedure, a tooth that is consistently sore and undergoing the same process multiple times may indicate that the root canal is not being completed correctly.\n\nI would recommend speaking with your dentist about your pain and concerns. They may need to reevaluate the tooth and explore alternative treatment options. If you continue to experience significant pain, you may want to consider seeking a second opinion or seeing an endodontist (a specialist in root canal treatment). |

] | Hello doctor,Three days ago, I had my atlas adjusted and now for two days, the lymph nodes (cervical lymph nodes) in my neck have been extremely painful and swollen for the last two days. I have no fever or other symptoms. Should I be concerned? I had my atlas which was supposedly two degrees off by an atlas orthogonal chiropractor. I originally went in because of my knee and wrist pain then before I knew it, I was having my atlas adjusted by a machine. My last few days I have been miserable and feeling awful. Exhausted, my lymph nodes are so painful on the sides of my neck I have been in bed all day. I just feel this might be related but I do not know. | Hello there, as an AI language model, I suggest you seek medical attention from your doctor or an urgent care center.

I have been diagnosed with candida and dysbiosis but my regular doctor does not seem to know what is wrong with me. I have been very stressed and have suffered anxiety since I was about 16. I was not on any medications and started taking Cymbalta a few months ago.After about three to four days, I started to notice a bit of burning in my feet. I have since stopped taking the Cymbalta about a month ago. My feet seemed fine. Then seven days ago, I have started getting really bad pain in my feet and burning and tickling and pins and needle feelings. I am not diabetic or alcoholic. I have no idea what has brought this on or whether it can be reversed. I am so stressed out. I have to be on my feet for my job for about four and a half hours every morning. Can this be tested to see if the nerve cells are either dead or just damaged and can it be reversed? This feels like it is going to ruin my life. Please help."

There can be several causes for petechiae, such as infections, autoimmune disorders, medication side effects, or even low platelet count. However, if they are appearing on a different arm every morning, it is possible that some kind of external trauma could be causing them. \\n\\nI would recommend scheduling an appointment with your primary care physician or dermatologist to have the petechiae evaluated. They may perform blood tests or a skin biopsy to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, try to avoid any unnecessary pressure or trauma to the affected areas."
