I have conjunctivitis (pink eye) with yellow discharge

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I have conjunctivitis (pink eye) with yellow discharge. My right eye was the first one 6 days ago, then my left eye got it too about 3 days ago. I’ve started feeling itching and burn in the urethra for the last 2 days as well and I feel weakness in my chest when taking deep breath. I’ve got some yellow mucus discharge coming from lungs too. Went to the GP and he is telling me not to worry and prescribed 1% Fusidic acid eye drops.
But I am worried. I have pack of 21 x 500 mg Amoxillin capsules at home and was wondering if I can take them.



I fell down and I think I may have a broken nose?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hello Doctor.

While crossing the street, I tripped on the sidewalk and fell down. I fell on my face. All is ok except for my nose. There is a bit of swelling so I believe I may have a broken nose. My question is the following: Should I wait for the swelling to subside to see if my nose is broken or should I get an x-ray of my nose right away.

Thanks

I have bad pain and swelling in leg and notice blood clots on thigh.

Hello Doctor, Recently I noticed blood clots on leg near femoral artery. I went to ER and they prescribed Xarelto for clots (in the ER) . After a month my prescription ended, I went to see my primary care physician who took me off because my hemaglobin was low (8.7) and he said he believed I was in danger of a heart attack. I still have closts, should I stay on Xarelto or do like my doctor says and stop?

Horrific Insomnia and extremely bad Heart Palpitations

Hi,

For the last three months my sleeping has been getting progressively worse and its now at a point where I feel my life is endangered. Every night i’m now getting a combined maximum of 2 hours sleep, never reaching a deep sleep. I wake up feeling shattered, feel exhausted all day and then can’t fall asleep at night – so much so it’s bringing me to tears.

The last two weeks of has seen the introduction of heart palpitations, general irregular heartbeat and stabbing pains in my chest. Sometimes before sleep at night my lower legs ache terribly and that combined with my heart which I can feel beating through my chest and through body parts like ears prevents me from sleeping.

I’m a 24 year old female, and I need help as i’m now getting concerned for my life.

Thank you for any advice.

My swelling keeps spreading to different parts of my body and I have no idea why. It ounce went to the side of my neck and jaw. My swelling began around May 2015. Idk if I may had a infection somewhere and it recently gotten to my heart but I didn’t have heart problems till now (recently diagnosed November 2015) because I’ve gotten a EKG back in March and nothing came back but every time they ran a blood count, my white blood cell count was elevated higher than normal. I am only 16 and been going through this since August of 2014 Nothing helps my symptoms it’s always there. Idk if it’s a medical emergency or what doctor to see. I’ve tried lots of different medications and no doctor can figure out what’s wrong. Throughout my sickness I passed out once because of the sickness. I really don’t know who to go see or what I should do. Any suggestions? Thank you very much.

I am having recurrent ulcers in my mouth and tongue, should I get a STD test?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Recurrent Mouth ulcers in the past

Hi, 2 months ago I started having recurrent ulcers in my mouth and tongue (1-2 at the same time-normal size-after 4,5 days were disappearing). I had full blood count and everything was fine – for 10 days no ulcers again. After my holidays then I started having again ulcers in my mouth and tongue and my GP gave me Corsodyl mouthwash which was perfect – the 2 ulcers I had disappeared and never again appeared. I have no ulcers at all for 3-4 weeks now but I’m just very anxious cause in internet it says a lot of serious illnesses are causing ulcers and that is why I’m a bit concerned. I have also quit smoking on January (that might be a reason why?) and I was having exams as well which means I was stressed. One GP told me if I’d like to have more blood tests (std related test) but I haven’t. What do you think?
