suffered from sinus and allergies... go to allergist once a week... they said i have extreme allergies ... my right nose started bleeding whilie i was driving car out of no where... several hours later its not running but i stuck a q tip inside and its a lot of blood on it... eyes are hurting and tired alot ..taking phentermine on and off for a year... dont know if that has anything to do with anything... tired of suffering with these sinus allergy issues... | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Allergic rhinitis (allergies of the nasal passages) and allergic sinusitis (allergies of the sinus passages) can be associated with nasal bleeding due to inflammation of the passages. Phentermine is not normally associated with these side effects. It would be best to avoid using a q tip in the nose as this may cause further damage. I hope this helps | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

Due to fall on hard surface sacrum may be injured. Due to microtrauma there may be fibrosis formation. Do hot fomentation over sacrum. It will take weeks to months to subside. Use ring cushion and take site bath [sitting in lukewarm water for 10 min]Take analgesic like Nicosia 90 once daily along with tab methylcobalamine 1500 mcg once daily consulting your doctor. If not relieved with all these methods then local injection may be required. You can take this consulting your doctor. Clinically spinal origin of pain needs to be ruled out, if required MRI spine can be done. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health.

My husband has a large amount of blood after an erection and then passes large blood clots, which is a mix of semen and blood. Usually, it takes between 3 - 6 hours of soaking in a tub before these clots finally all come out. Hes already had surgery twice where the doctor have put gel and wire in his main artery because they found it tore. Now it is still happening and we are wondering if something might be done? | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. Most commonly, these symptoms indicate prostatitis or epididymitis sometimes, and rarely it may be signed of STD infection. You should avoid intercourse for till symptoms Persia. And Chat Doctor. If symptoms persist it would be good to do prostate ultrasound and check your PSA levels to rule out prostate tumor or hypertrophy and further treatment depends on these findings. In most cases it can be controlled with medications but sometimes, in case of tumor, open surgery is required. And severe benign hypertrophy may be managed endoscopically, so you should consult urologist about appropriate options. I hope I have answered you query. . Kindly regards. Wish you a good health. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |
So the left side of my neck right under my jaw hurts a little when I touch it, and when I tilt my head up. Not bad, just enough to be irritating. Also, I ve been feeling like there s a lump there, and at a certain point if I tilt my head down and to the right I actually have a little bump like when your joints crack. I can feel the bubble like sensation move and feel like a pop in my neck when I do this. I went to the doctors a few months ago with severe front neck pain when I spoke, turned my head certain ways, or swallowed, and the physician gave me some kind of muscle straining test, and with no other concerns, left it at that. Now the pain is back but not as severe with the bubble feeling, when I press on the left it s painful, but not on the right. I m not really worried, but I want to know before I go for another emergency room visit if I ve done something to my neck? | Hello, I can understand your concern. As you are feeling the lump right under your left jaw, it is possible that you have a swollen submandibular lymph node. As it might be infected, you feel pain when you touch it. This lymph node can be infected due to presence of infection in the throat or in the oral cavity. As you are also having pain while swallowing, more chances are there of throat infection and tonsillitis. In that case, you should visit an ENT specialist to have a look at your tonsils and prescribe you antibiotics if infection is present. If the ENT specialist finds everything fine with the throat, you should consult a dentist to examine your oral cavity to find focus of infection present in the oral cavity. If infection is present in mouth like tooth decay, treatment of the infection will relieve you of pain and discomfort. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish you feel better soon. Best, | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

It is about my daughter. She is 30 years old. she recently experienced what the doctor called a vassal vagal. Her blood pressure spikes for no apparent reason for short periods of time.

My grandfather on Mom s side had heart disease. what can I say or do to get my daughter to go to a specialist? | Howell come to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, vasovagal syncope cant be itself because there are many apparent reasons behind this and without that it may not be vasovagal attack and this need to be ruled out and this is only possible when patient clinically examined and history elicited, but this is self limiting because this is malaise mediated which directly related with vagus nerve, vasovagal attack causes low blood and not high blood pressure, your sister may not be having any cardiac disease, still it is advisable to get done cardiac evaluation test, in short this is nothing to worry, take care. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

I got kicked in the forearm during martial arts sparing and had a huge bruise. It was tender to touch and bruise lasted almost 2 weeks. Normal so far. After that I felt a small lump near bruise site that cause sharp pain when touched. After messing with it the other day, overnight the area swelled to larger than a golf ball size. It hurts to push on it or if I lean on a table or desk. Not hot to touch and not bruised or red. Swelling went down a bit in the last 3 days. Should I wait it out? | U might have a collection of blood at the trauma site. As per your history luckily it hasn't got an infection. Still have an X-ray of forearm to rule out minor fracture. But if it becomes hot or u get fever, consult a surgeon. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

Hi, I went to get an MRI as I was having myclonic jerks during my sleep. Here is the result of the MRI. 1.Multiple scattered punctate foci of T2/Flair hyperintensities within the subcortical white matter are more than expected for patient s age (39) but nonspecific. These may reflect sequela of migraine headaches, mild age-advanced microvascular ischemic disease if the the patient has known vascular risk factors, or remote infectious/inflammatory etiology. 2. Left Choroial fissure cyst 1.5 x .8 x .7cm is an incidental finding of no clinical significance 3. Otherwise unremarkable Brain MRI Should i be concern with the 2 findings as I am still having issues with the myclonic jerks during my sleep | Hi there, Thank you for writing to us. You are most likely having what is called as hypnotic jerks. These are a form of myoclonic jerks that happen when one is asleep. This is something that is normal and nothing to worry about a great deal. In fact this is something that is very common, and even I experience them myself. The findings that you are having on your MRI is not something that concerns me and this should not be causing you the myoclonic jerks by any stretch of the imagination.Therefore, I would recommend that you should just relax as there is nothing a great deal to worry about. Kindest Regards. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

"i have a bump it hurts and wheni applied pressure on it some puss came out. it is locolized over a broken baby tooth. i have had one before. both times when they had started my dentist said that he would not fill them because they are baby teeth. it hurts | Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. In your query you have not mentioned your age. If all your permanent teeth are erupted, you have to get the baby tooth removed. The pus and pain suggests an abscess formation in relation to the tooth which has to be removed. If the permanent are not erupted, then you can go for lumpectomy to save the tooth till the permanent tooth erupts. Antibiotics on advice from the dentist is to be taken. Do salt water gargling. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

Hi, I have a brother who is currently incarcerated. When I went to visit him today, he told me about a lump on his chest. He also told me that the doctor there was giving him medication but was telling him the wrong name of the medicine. I was just wondering, arent they suppose to do some type of exam on him to determine what it is before they just give him medication for it. The reason I ask this is because he told me that they said it was nothing that they could do. So I was wondering if they were suppose to diagnose him with something before just giving him medication? | Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The history is a bit inadequate, as you have not described the lump and its location on the chest, however I will try to explain to you the possible causes.2. The most possible cause could be infective etiology, hair follicular infection with collection within - which needs antibiotic in early UN complicated condition, where late and complicated needs excision.3. Other possible cause will be lipomas which needs to monitored unless until symptomatic where excised.4.Finally, bone lesions arise on the chest wall, and hernias. Which need to examine and do needful treatment.5. An ultrasound scan will help in the assessment of the nature of the lump, its source and extensions.6. Suggest to get examined and diagnosed and treated appropriately.7. Probably the doctor would have visually able to make out the type of lump he is dealing so started treatment. Good luck.

Hi My Dad 61 yrs old is had a back pain complains so after and MRI the result is L5/S1 DISC - posterial protrusion indenting the thecal sac and impinging on the traversing roots at the lateral recess; mild bony canal narrowing is present. L4/5 Disc - Diffuse posterior budge with annular tear indenting the thecal sac and touching the traversing roots at the lateral recess. L3/4 Disc - Posterior central protrusion indenting the thecal sac and impinging on the traversing roots at the lateral recess. Whole spine survey: c3/4 and c5/6 discs - posterior protrusion indenting the thecal sac and cord . no cord edema seen. - is surgergy necessary for this? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor Psychiatry from India. I have read your question carefully and understood it. Furthermore, I can understand your concern. Furthermore, I will try my best to answer your query. The condition you are mentioning here is called prolapse intervertebral disc with neuronal compromise. I will make you understand this disease. Our vertebral column is a bony structure which is made up of many bones called vertebrae. Vertebral column is hollow towards posterior side to accommodate spinal cord. In between two vertebrae there is a cartilaginous disc which is a main part of vertebral joint. Sometimes due to wear and tear or injury to vertebra, an intervertebral disc gets prolapsed and bulges posteriorly. If this prolapse is severe then this disc may impinge upon the spinal cord and emerging spinal nerves roots. This condition is dangerous as it may cause paralysis of lower portion of body. In your fathers' case it is more complicated due to multiple levels of involvement at both cervical (neck) and lumbar region. Sooner or later surgery may be required. I suggest you to follow the advice of his treating neurosurgeon who may advise correctly the right time of surgery according to functional capacity of your father. I wish your father a better health. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |
Hi, I just had a tooth extracted, bottom molar (#19) and it was about 13 hours ago. I am still feeling numbness, but that is not the biggest concern because it is slowly going away. I have always had trouble clotting and the oral surgeon put collagen in this time to help it clot? Im not sure what that all means. Anyhow, it bled for hours, even though I was using gauze properly for 30-40 minute periods. Finally, all blood stopped. However, I dont think I have a clot. I have seen clots before and this doesnt look like my many other extractions. I shined a flashlight on it and it is brown, white and flat. There is no hole in the extraction site, but its not a clot either. Should I go back to the oral surgeon tomorrow or should I wait two days. I am just wondering if he can do something as to form a clot. I have trigeminal neuralgia and dental visits are so terrifying to me, but pain is worse. I have taken abided by all advise from office. I only drank cold drinks and NOT from a straw. I have only had cold pudding, jello and a mashed up banana today. I have not spit, rinsed or brushed my teeth. Any words of wisdom?? I feel like crying. Pain in any part of my mouth will trigger my Trigeminal Neuralgia. | Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth don't worry much, if you feel like bleeding or foul smell from extraction socket, then you consult your dentist immediately, As you said that you have said that are not brushing your teeth after 24 hours of extractions you can Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, do mouthwash twice daily, to maintain good oral hygiene, Hope this will help you.

Actually when a tooth is fractured horizontally, and the fractured line goes between crown and root of teeth then you should go for root canal treatment of tooth. But if the fracture of tooth is vertical, or it is below the root level or in between root, then you should go for removal of tooth. Because in these fractures no fillings or crown is helpful. So better you should go for removal of his tooth. Hope it will help you. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |
Hi,My name is Jon. You can consider me as a health freak since the start of this year. The reason being is that I just had an episode of high cholesterol, including stressful situations in office, therefore experiencing heart palpitation, nausea, sweaty hands and hard of breathing.Thank God, I had a change of mindset (coz i dont wanna die) and had to eat proper foods (mainly vegetables, fish, no dairy products,and lots of fruits) and exercise. After 3 months, things got back to normal, except the feeling of anxiety. I thought then its an blood ph imbalance, so i ate more fruits, but to no avail. Ive had my insides/abdomens checked (ultrasound),all are normal, had my liver and kidneys checked, results are normal,had my triglycerides and cholesterol checked, normal,except for LDL (.5 units lower than the lowest in range, i think its caused by lots of jogging). There was this time wherein i physically felt as if the anxiety just turned off without any reason at all, and it lasted for 2.5 weeks, then it turned on again. I hate this feeling. It feels like there s an impending doom, therefore causing me to have sleepless nights. I dont know what kind of doctor do i have to go to, hematologist? endoctrinologist? nutritionist? can you please guide me on this?Jon | Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety. Low cholesterol levels can contribute in sleep disturbances and in anxiety too. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a specialist of this field (psychotherapist or psychiatrist), who can help you to deal with your anxiety professionally. Yoga and meditation can help too. I would also encourage you to continue on your healthy diet and your daily physical activity. Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Lets tablets help in the growth of your follicles and induce ovulation. So, it increases the chance of pregnancy. You can track your ovulation by repeated ultrasound or ovulation detection kits.

hi my doctor said that one of my fallopian tubes is bent but last time he checked it, he said he straightened it but said it would stay straight for only about months until it goes back to being bent again. this was a year ago when he made it straight and is been over 6 months now. me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant and I was not able to conceive even though I was told I have good quality eggs and I am fertile. We tried now with insemination for the first time and it hasnt worked. what could be the problem? please help | Hi, It is not clear from your history what your doctor meant when he said he straightened your fallopian tube, if there were any adhesions which were lased. There are several factors which are responsible for failure to conceive, and tubal factor is one of the most important. I would suggest a proper evaluation by an infertility specialist. You need to test for tubal patency and tubal motility. If nothing can be done, IVF is the ideal solution. Without tubal propulsion of the ovum, insemination is not going to help any better. Hope this helps. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

The bump at the back of your mouth could be due to periodontal pocket, an abscess that contains bacteria and pus in it.Also, due to presence of braces many a time it is difficult to maintain hygiene and results in decay.Therefore, in my view you must seek your dentist help in this regard and get the suitable treatment done. The earlier, the better it is, in case of gum problems and tooth decay. Hope it helps. Thanks.

Hello, I believe I recently came down with the flu as it started suddenly with a sore throat and body aches through the upper back and neck . Spent yesterday with a mild fever and lots of coughing. I am an asthmatic so the added inflammation in my bronchial passageways is less than pleasant to say the least.

I figured it s normal since I spent the better part of 48 hours, day and night, hacking my lungs out. Anyway, is this normal or something to be concerned about?

My blood type is O+ and I was married previous and my pervious husband also was O+. I was pregnant for several times and I never get sick though out my previous pregnancies. After I got divorce I got remarried for a new husband and his blood type A+ and we decide to have a new baby then after I get pregnant I became very sick, I was having high fever, vomiting a lot, and tireless which I never had this symptoms before. My question is since my new husband and I have different blood type is that the cose of my sickness? | Hi, No a different blood group should not cause you to have such symptoms. A different blood of a new husband could probably give you a slightly increased chance of high blood pressure, and pre-eclampsia in the later part of pregnancy.

Do discuss the safety of medicine during pregnancy before taking them. Hope this helps. Regards. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |

I am 41 yrs old & have type 2 diabetes & recently lost about 15 lbs for no reason. I have been eating better but not that much better & I have a stressful new job that could be the culprit but im scared b/c i know my body & i usually dont just shed 15 lbs in 2 mths with little to no effort.

I also pee frequently but I always have even before being dx w/diabetes,i went from 155 lbs down to 140 which is great but im scared b/c i usually have to work much harder to lose weight | Hello, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given and do understand your concern. However, there is no mention blood glucose level (fasting or PP) and HbA1c%, so there is no way to know whether diabetes is well controlled or not. Secondly no mention ChatDoctor. Persons with diabetes do lose weight at times fairly rapidly, particularly when it is uncontrolled with high blood glucose. That causes excess glucose loss through urine as well as increased frequency of toilet visits including getting up at night. In a well controlled diabetic FBG should be If blood glucose is not well controlled eating well can actually lead to more of glucose loss through urine. So my suggestion is please check your fasting, PP glucose levels and HbA1c% and try to bring those in the above recommended range. Then weight reduction will stop. Strict blood glucose control is the remedy. Thanks | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. |
