years ago I noticed heart palpitations which led to panis attacks because they scared me 30 years later dealing with them ive noticed a link to them.the question is I believe the main trigger is in the garden vegetables from the store.I know this sounds a little bit reaching but I told my wife to lay off the frozen vegetables and they have decreased dramatically could there be a link or could it be the pesticides causing the to re-surface.ive tried to live with them for years and wished they woulg go away.yes its true anxiety and palptations are related but why would they dramatically increase.ive also notice when my blood pressure is a little higher than normal I dont have palpitations at all.so why would my blood pressure being around normal cause me to have them and being a little higher not have them.why would eating vegetables cause me to have them alot.its hard to find a medium area but since ive laid off the vegetables its bearable.ive tried everything humanlly possible.I guess if I never felt my heart beating would probably cure me.I also use to be a track runner in school years ago long distance runner is it possible that the excessive running triggered them?just searching for answers thank you. | Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to indigestion or gastroesophageal reflux. A panic disorder cannot be excluded either. I don't think that pesticides can give this sudden reaction. In fact, they may lead to nausea, diarrhea as more common adverse effects, but the heart is usually affected later. Anyway, I would also recommend performing some other tests to investigate for the possible causes: - thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction- a fibrogastroscopy for possible reflux-blood electrolytes for possible imbalance. An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help investigate your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia. Hope I have answered your query.

Please tell me if she needs an antibiotic and if she does which one do you recomend. Thank you! | Hi, I am Chat Doctor.

Hi, for the past couple of nights my chest area ha really ached. My rib area aches and the ribs halfway down the rib cage hurt to touch. Also I thought I was getting indegastion but what felt like my heart just had a massive pain go through it. Like someone was squeezing it. It only lasted for a couple of seconds - I have had this feeling before but felt it was time to find out whats going on. Also noticed tony veins on my rib area earlier - dont know if its related. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely rule out heart diseases first because your chest pain is on left sided and more in night. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes musculoskeletal pain can be the cause. So avoid movements causing. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |
hi doctor , I am an African female aged 49 living in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. I have recently noticed a patch of discoloration of my skin on my shoulder , it looks like a cheetah skin, basically spotted. On my thigh and and arm i have noticed the same but the discoloration is even. The patches look lighter than my skin color.I have two patches on my arm,one about a centimeter in size and the other is much smaller. on my thigh it is in patches close to each other and in total is about 4 cm big. I went to see a dermatologist at one of the hospitals here and he quickly diagnosed it as Vitiligo and instructed that I start treatment immediate. The treatment seems pretty harsh and even dangerous as if I were to apply the medication outside the area of the spots those area will be affected. He also said I was to wear UV sunglasses as i was to sit in the 10am sunlight for one hour. Without the UV sunglasses he said i could risk losing my eyesight. My research over the internet describes Vitiligo as milk white discoloration of the skin. I am confused doctor, could you please tell me what it is that I have and how I should go about treating it? There is no known history of Vitiligo in my family. Thank You. SAADA IBRAHIM | Welcome to Chat Doctor ForumVitiligo presents as light or white discoloration of skin, not necessarily MILKY, intensity of pigmentation depends on your natural color. Sometimes its light-pinkish also. You may try homeopathy, it works really well for vitiligo. Takecare. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |
I ve had bronchitis for 2 weeks. Very wheezy and coughing up yellow mucus. This is the 7th time I ve had bronchitis this year. I now have terrible sharp pain on left side of chest which seems to wrap around to my left shoulder blade. ICould this be pneumonia? I do not have a fever, just completely exhausted. | Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts. I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them. Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-Chronic bronchitis with Pleuritic pain in left chest-wrapping around left shoulder blade. This pain is from chronic bronchitis with clogged up terminal alveolar groups, causing pleural inflammation from infection. X-ray chest may show few dense shadows with thickened pleura-which indicates edematous thickened inflamed pleura. In your case as the cough is with productive yellow mucus, indicating enough infection of air track. Possibility of Pneumonia, accompanying by this is more and needs to be kept under watch, by closed observation. But the afebrile body, with this yellow mucus indicates recovering Bronchitis with pleuritic pain in left chest laterally and in back near left shoulder blades. Pneumonia would be indicated by high fever with chills which is not there in your case. Exhastion is from chronic infection with deny Chat Doctor. Possibility TB Bronchitis with Pleuritic pain is to be kept in mind. For this to find out-AFB sputum / PCR tests of yellow mucus to find out TB antigen of live/ dead bacteria/ IGRA-blood test to detect hidden subclinical TB. Exhaustion may indicate TB infection with no fever/ or mild fever. Course of Augmenting duo(Amoxicillin with clavulanic acid) may differentiate NON-TB cause, if it responds to this course for 10 days time. Supporting it with high protein bland diet with plenty of fluids / vitamins would recoup you soon from this condition. Hope this would help you to plan further treatment from your doctors there.

I am experiencing chronic pain all over my body. I have a left knee that is totaled and I am in the process of getting a brace to pull it back in place. It is from a 35 yr old surgery from a broken tibia that resulted in total knee complications. That appears to be causing extreme lower back pain because my leg is so twisted. And I recently had a spinal fusion of L4_5 as suggested by my spinal surgeon. Now the pain is lower in the last disc and severe around the S-I joint. I have been living with this numbness, tingling, pins, needles and very painful condition for the last year following surgery and it is getting worse daily. I have appts. with both an orthopedic (knee) dr and one back at the spine clinic in Durango Colorado. My question is could these conditions be causing this amount of sever pain throughout my body or is there another possible cause. Stress over this isn t helping either. Help!! | Hello, Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. We have to rule out possible causes like fibromyalgia. Hope I have answered your query.

Hi, I am a 40 year old female, diagnosed with cervical disc herniation and cervical degenerative disc disease . I saw a Neurosurgeon last year until I felt somewhat better. I did not have the surgery that was recommended. I tried exercising and apparently hurt my neck again. But this time I am having memory loss too, is this normal? I could not remember my home phone number, my husbands birthday, my insurance companies name, etc. Please advise... Shea | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Memory impairment is not related to the cervical disc herniation. It is due to brain disease. The most common reason could be a small blood clot in the brain. A CT scan of the brain can help in diagnosis. Please consult a Neurologist for evaluation and treatment.

My boyfriend just had hernia surgery, where his intestines would fall down into his testicle area? Well, now after surgery, he has noticed that his left testicle is red, contant sharp pain in one area. Weve recently noticed it is like he has two balls in this one testicle. We are afraid he might have a growth or something since this wasnt noticed before... | HelloThanks for query.

How to speedy recovery from ITBS , caused by running workout. I had a 32KM training 2 weeks ago, and I back to running after 5 days for 10KM in treadmill, the next day I was not able to run any more. Then I rest and did some cross training , start running with 3km on 3 days later, then 5KM on next day, 7.8KM street run , and today I ran 10KM. I just felt something on my right knee, but honestly not painful, I have a 42.2KM on 4th May, do you think I can fully recovery then? And I will have a 10KM race on coming Sunday. Do you suggest I run at low pace or fast pace? The course is 70% downhill. | Hi You have ITS- an overuse injury. It is good that you have restarted your training with less intensity. This may give you some respite from this injury. Running downhill may increase your chances of ITS since the Clio tibial band is used more on running downhill. Personally I would suggest you to run at a slower speed since this may cause less pain. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

Since September 11, my jaw on right side, just below my ear lobe has been very sore. It hurts my jaw at that location when I chew or yawn. There is unnoticeable swelling, if any. VERY tender and painful when I push on the muscles just below where the ear and jaw meet. I have no molars on that side, upper or lower.

I clean my ears several times a day w/ q-tips, going deeper than I know I should, but it feels so good! Is it possible some cotton from a swab could be lodged in my ear canal and causing the pain? | Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to local inflammation or infection of the temporomandibular joint.

My mother has primary peritoneal cancer . She was diagnosed at Stage IIIC almost two weeks ago. Today, her legs are swollen from her thighs through her calf on each leg. Do we need to get her back in to see her Oncologist? Does this mean it is moving into stage IV? She has been constipated also for 3 days and we were told to watch for that. | This could mean a number of things, and you definitely need to see your oncologist. It could be because of the disease in the abdomen pressing on the veins of the legs leading to edema. The constipation could also be due to the disease pressing on the rectum and colon (large bowel). However, the swelling in the legs could also be due to blood clotting in the veins of the legs particularly if it's painful. This is a serious life-threatening condition and needs immediate hospitalization and treatment. You have not mentioned the treatment that you are taking for the cancer. If that has not been started I suggest you do it at the earliest so the disease related problems subside. The treatment for stage AIIC primary peritoneal cancer is chemotherapy (injections for cancer) | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

I am a 66 year old male who is in relatively good health. following kidney stone surgery to break them up and a subsequent stent for 1 month, I have developed knots in the back of both calves, both ham strings, and both deltoids. The pain has become quite debilitating and is made worse by sitting, especially in the car. The best way to describe the pain is like a lactic acid build up after strenuous exercise. I do have a factor five blood clotting disorder that I have never had any effects from previously. Would appreciate any help as I am grasping at straws! | Hi.thanks for the opportunity to help you. From your description it looks to me like thrombophlebitis of the veins in the calf, hamstrings and buttocks. This has happened as a result of prolonged immobilization due to kidney stone surgery and stent insertion for 1 month and as you have factored 5 deficiency you have tendency for hypercoagulability leading to clotting of blood. Thus stasis due to prolonged bed rest, old age and factor 5 deficiency leading to hypercoagulability and clot formation can lead to thrombophlebitis. However we should rule out DVT which is a life-threatening condition in which there is formation of thrombus in deep veins.this thrombus can dislodge and block pulmonary vessels leading to pulmonary embolism and death. Though from your description it doesn't look like DVT.kindly visit a surgeon and get a venous Doppler of lower limbs and get a coagulation profile, genogram, Radioactive,I125 fibrinogen study done. If it shows thrombophlebitis, oral antibiotics, thrombophobe ointment for l/a and t.choral forte 1-1-1x5 days can be taken .if however DVT is diagnosed by Doppler of venous systems in. Low molecular weight heparin followed by warfarin as per surgeons advise. If surgery is required. These methods to be considered in case of fixed thrombus.in case of free thrombus fibrinolysins, thrombectomy using forty catheter or IOC filter can be used. Surgical options are:-1)Palma operation for tibiofemoral thrombosis2) May hung operation for popliteal thrombosis.t.saffron 500 mg 1-0-1x3 months to reduce viscosity of blood and congestion of veins can be use prophylactically in cases of both thrombophlebitis or DVT.hope the consultation was beneficial regards | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |
I have gas pressure in my upper chest, rib cage and shoulder area. This pressure increases when my asthma acts up. I believe it is a result of inflammation , but cannot be sure. How might I go about fixing the problem.

My grandma got some kind of contagious bugs that can t be seen about 10 years ago. She transferred them to my parents and sister by being in their home, cars, touching, etc. They used permethrin, dandruff shampoo, etc. If you got to them right away you could wash them away with a shower and washing your clothes. However they spread through my parents house where my sister lives and she can t get rid of them. My mom sent a fur trimmed coat over here 5 years ago and it stayed in the closet until I put it on March 23, 2014. I felt all itchy and was worried I had bugs but my sister said she didn t think the bugs could live 5 years. She and my parents knew they could live a couple of years on washed blankets that were stored away in a garbage bag because they had gotten infected that way. Anyway I for sure have them from the coat and it s been 1 month. My other sister caught them from me 3 weeks ago. My house and car keep re infecting me even though we steam everything we can all the time. I ve used permethrin 31/2 tubes and AM VERY SICK FROM IT. I just got re infected on Easter by running the vacuum the 1st time since the initial cleanup. My family has misled me on what kills them like vinegar,dandruff shampoo, hair dye and cattle spraying my house and car. Help! What can live w/o a host that long. I feel as though I have resistant Norwegian scabies but everything says they can only go 36 hours w/o a host. Can they feed off of shed skin cells and off the fur ruff leather? How do I know what they are and how do I eradicate them from all my papers, books, and every nook and cranny? | Hello Dear. Put all the clothes in hot water and then keep it for Chat Doctor. Use permethrin cream. It's the best. Also, can try benzyl benzoate cream. It also gives best results... Hope I have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions.

I was prescribed Tamaflu - two tablets for five days. I have taken it for two days and my husband through area the box today. And yes, today our garbage was picked up. Are there any problems with not taking the entire five days of tablets? Patricia | Hello, I think that you've been prescribed Tami flu because of a Flu, so I answer for that case. If you are not immunosuppressed (due to an illness or a medication) or under chemo/radiotherapy, I think that you could stay without taking the rest of the therapy. Moreover, you have to consider how do you feel: if you feel that your health is improving, (not fever, cough, headache) this is a good sign, and maybe you can stay without the therapy.

hi im cheerymeel from philippines, i just want to ask questions regarding with the condition of my mother who is diagnosed with endometrial cancer probably stage 2, our doctor told us to undergo my mom with chemotherapy before she proceed a surgical operation. is it right to undergo chemotherapy before she proceed with thw surgical operations? | I am sorry to say that this is not the right treatment protocol for endometrial cancer. Normally, the first step in the treatment of endometrial cancer is surgery. If this we remove the uterus, both tubes, both ovaries, bilateral pelvic nodes and take a number of samples from various parts of the abdomen. We also take washings from the abdomen surface and send it for cytology testing. This is called a staging laparotomy as this not only is part of the treatment, it also gives the exact stage of the cancer. Depending on the final stage that comes after surgery, she may require postoperative radiotherapy. There is nor role of chemotherapy in endometrial cancer except in the last stage for palliation. You can visit nccn.org and see for yourself. I suggest you change your oncologist. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I did not receive any training on how to lift heavy objects safely. I was only asked to sign training documents. I injured my back after I have carried box with vouchers on 3 Jan 2011. I was asked by my GM to carry full box with vouchers. I have point it out that the box was too heavy however my GM did not replay on that so I have decided to carry it anyway.I went to my GP on 5 Jan. Doctor said that I am suffering with back pain (Sciatica , sciatic nerve pain) cause of heavy lifting and I have been told to take rest for a week. Also I have been told by the doctor to make a new appointment for next week on 12/01/11. On 12th I was told by my GP to stay off sick and my next appointment was on 19/01/11 and other on 26/01/11 when I was told to stay off sick for one month more and given repeated prescribed medications. 5/01/2011: 112 Co-Codamol 30/500MG Tablets-TWO to be taken FOUR times a days. 15 Diazepam 2MG Tablets-ONE to be taken THREE times a day. 26/01/2011: 112 Co-Codamol 30/500MG Tablets-TWO to be taken FOUR times a days. 21 Diazepam 2MG Tablets-ONE to be taken THREE times a day.

I m a 21 yr old young woman and I have bronchitis, my doctor said. Each time I get cold or fever, I have symptoms like temperature rise, running nose, throat pain etc. These symptoms reduce and are eventually cured. But when cough starts, it doesn t reduce as fast as the other symptoms. If antibiotics are not used, then the cough can last upto a month or so before its completely gone. Doctor says I have bronchitis which is causing this. When I told him about my problem, he prescribed glemont F for three weeks. Is that the solution for my problem? What can I do to prevent this kind of long lasting cough again? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. So get done PFT. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamines. Lemont is oral bronchodilators and having side effects so better to start inhaled bronchodilators. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these and start appropriate treatment. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

I am a 29 year old man and i have been mastubating since my teen age.I have been mastubating excessive over the last many years.Frequency ranges from 2 times a day to as many as 5-6 times in a day.Does too much of mastubation cause testical cancer?.If i stop mastubating the way i used to would it affect my health in anyway? | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Too much masturbation will not cause cancer but can cause other physical and mental problems. Excessive masturbation around 5 to 6 times a day can get addictive and cause you loss of concentration in doing your regular activities and prevent you from doing your job and study. The appropriate masturbation frequency is 2 to 3 times a week and not more than once in a day. Frequent masturbation also causes depletion of sperm and erectile dysfunction as it affects the mental health. You can do other activities like listening to music, talking to friends and reading a book when you get masturbation thoughts. This will help you to control masturbation. There is no need to stop masturbation completely as it is a normal behavior when done within limits. Please do not worry. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

Is this physical or psychological? | Helloyou should get a complete physical examination of your child especially examination of the anal area to rule out the possibility of anal fissure or rectal polyps as they have painful defecation as a symptom. But in absence of these, it could be psychological. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |
I have a loose tooth that is so loose that it can bend straight forward flat. It is a molar and is attached to a slightly thick piece of my gums. It really annoys me because it hurts and i cant chew food on it. I also cant chew food on the other side of my mouth because i keep biting on the edge of the tooth since it keeps moving. The tooth has been like this for about 2 days. i can twist it into a 180 degree turn but after that it begins to hurt. How can i remove the tooth? Should i try the floss trick? Im kind of a wimp to pain so i would prefer it be not very painful. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Teeth are for dentists to remove and certainly not a do-it-yourself idea. I suggest you to consult your nearest dentist and get your tooth removed in the most painless and technically appropriate manner possible. Removing teeth by yourself can cause infection and weaken the adjacent teeth. Hope this helps. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

i think i rubbed my penis raw on one side from my girlfriends underwear. My penis is kind of pink, and blotchy... now just a few spots are dried up skin on my left side only. I have no pain, or symptoms or tingling. just weird to look at. I have been tested for HSV2 14 weeks negative. What does this mean? | Hi, Dermatologist conditions are hard to discuss without seeing them. Then the herpes test can be done many ways. In the US 15% of penile herpes is herpes type ONE not 2. And the older tests would probably show some herpes anyway and wasn't that good at distinguishing type. So, it could easily still be herpes. In Japan about half of genital herpes is type 1 not type 2. Or it could be something else. As mentioned it is difficult to say. Without an exam, I can only give general information. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

Over the past three years, always around November, I get a new symptom that requires me to go to the doctors. First my hands went numb, they passed it off as carpal tunnel. The next year, I had muscle spasms in my neck and hands. They said it was nothing. This past year I went in for a reoccurring blind spot in my eye. They found nothing. An MRI showed a lesion on my frontal lobe, but they said it wasn t wnough to make a fuss about. My first cousin has MS, and my grandpa has Parkinson s. Could it be some sort of immune disorder they are ignoring? I m a relatively healthy 23 year old female so I don t think they are taking this as seriously as they should be. | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I would like to have more information on the nature of the lesion found in your MRI. You should know that there are different sequences in MRI exam, which can orientate towards the nature of the lesion (white matter gloss, inflammation, vascular or tumor). Your symptoms don't seem to be related to a lesion on the frontal lobe. Numbness in both hands is not caused by any lesion in this region of the brain. The spasms of your neck muscles too. I recommend you to perform a cervical spine x-ray and routine blood test for inflammation, which could be related to this clinical scenario. Regarding the heredity for MS, I would say that the probability for you to have MS when a first cousin has it, is very low. While Parkinson has other symptoms and no brain lesion in MRI. So I think you should not worry about heredity in this situation. Hope to have been of help!

I am trying to figure out what is going on with my body. I lost 25 pounds 3 years ago working out . I quit having periods. My gynecologist gave me pills to try to get me to start a period and it did not work. He thought it was because of my weight loss , exercise, and stress level in my life as my husband has cancer .

My father has recently been diagnosed with Lung cancer, the doctor has arrange for a FNA to check his glands. I am confused as I taught this test was to check the glands at the upper part of his lung but on reading some info on the net I am lead to believe that the glands which the neddle will be inserted to are actually in the neck. is this correct? or could this test be preformed to test glands on the upper part of the lung? Thanks Lorraine | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) is a technique in which cells are aspirated through needle insertion in the mass. It is simple, easy to perform, less harmful and day care procedure. And it can be done in any mass or swelling of the body which superficial or easily accessible. Since neck is the common site for enlarged glands and swelling, FNAC is procedure of choice for diagnosis. And lung mass, if superficial and easily accessible then FNAC is also indicated and can be diagnostic. So no need to worry, get done FNAC from lung mass. It is very safe procedure. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |
