44yr old female. Take lisnprl for hbp and effexor for bipolar. I have been having bad pain in my left thumb for a month now. I have no problem moving it back and forth but to bend it at the joint hurts to the point that I have to use my other hand to straighten it. I did not have an injury to it beforehand. What is going on?
I’m losing it here. My grandma hasn’t slept in 15 days!!!! Roughly a month ago she starting taking some joint pills which I believe led to her stomach acid coming up to her throat (I think). Anyway now she has a very irritated throat. According to the doctor’s, she has bronchitis. They gave her some medicine and that didn’t help. We went all over the place looking for medicine or looking for a cure but we can’t find one that works. Sometimes the medicine makes her condition worse! Nothing is working! Everytime she tries to fall asleep her irritation gets worse, whether she lies down and or sits up sleeping. We’ve taken her to the hospital 3 times and they refuse to do anything other then take tests and send her away!!!!!! The other day she said she was feeling very weak and we took her to the hospital and again they did absolutely nothing! They wouldn’t even help her sleep at all!
I’m very desperate right now. I don’t know what else to do. If anyone can give me answers or give me any advice on what to do I would very grateful. I am crying so much because she has to suffer like this and her lack of sleep could lead to the worst. Please help me!
hello, recently i had an acute EBV antibody test done (not the titer test), and my results were all negative. my question is this, Can i rule out a chronic active EBV infection with my results? do i need more testing?
I had a motor nerve conduction study that, according to my doctor, is clean. however, one nerve ( in the hand) showed 4.5 amplitude when the only online chart I found state it should be equal or over 5. is that serious or should I trust my neurologist when he said my motor neuron are fine ? i have no symptom in this hand at all (it’s not my dominant hand)
There was also an emg performed and all results were clean, same for sensory nerve conduction study.
So I’ve been having stomach pain across my abdomen, especially when my stomach is empty. My belly also twitches but I’m guessing that’s what happens after giving birth. I’ve been taking anti acids that the Dr prescribed and it feels a little better. They did an ultrasound on my gallbladder to see if that’s an issue and there was minimal sludge but not significant. They’re saying that I should remove my gallbladder anyways. But what if it’s just an ulcer or h pylori? Shouldn’t I concentrate on trying to cure that before heading into surgery? I’m very poor and can’t afford such a procedure. Is it necessary?

About 9 days ago I started having a pain in my upper right abdomen that moved to my lower right abdomen. The pain was intense at time. 7 days ago I went to emergency and they did an exam and heard my other complaints (not eating, diarrhea). My blood levels came back with elevated white cells. They were just about ready to send me to surgery when they decided to give me a cat scan which came back clear. In the interim I had a big infusion of antibiotics. I was discharged.
5 days ago I had the blood work re-done and my white cells were normal. However, the pain continued, albeit intermittently.
Now the pain is still there. My urine was checked and it was fine. The pain is intermittent but when it comes it is localized in one spot and feels hot and burning. The diarrhea and some lack of appetite continue.
What does this sound like? What should I do?

Hi, I have recently had breast surgery, removal of calcium deposits with cancer cells. I have recently found out that a magnesium deficiency can contribute to these calcium deposits, would it be wise to take a magnesium supplement after I have had my radiotherapy. I wasn’t on any medication before this and I don’t know yet what I will be on after radiotherapy. I have tried to add more magnesium in my diet already.
Thank you.

Hi, I am 38 male. No medical history. I went to ER in Dec. end after dehydration from excessive drinking. ECG & blood sugar were normal. Heart beat was 102 standing & 72 sitting. BP was 145-85. I was told to get hypertension monitored by my GP. I got scared I might have damaged heart with excessive drinking. Straight away I cut down drinking & was nervous about the whole thing. After 2 days I went to GP, BP was 165-90. Got ECG & blood test for heart muscles done at that very moment. Both results were ok except high heart beat of 110. GP advised it to be anxiety nd come back in 2 weeks for BP check. She gave few diazepam to use only if anxiety gets extreme. I went on veggies & water overdrive nd BP slowly started coming down. After 2 weeks it was 125-85 & pulse between 60 to 82 resting. GP told no need for hypertension medicine. FOR NEXT 4-5 weeks I was measuring BP weekly at friend’s place nd it was always around 125-85. However, I was still feeling dizzy & not sure if I got a healthy heart. Went to another GP yesterday & heart beat went 110 & BP 145-85. GP assured heart is fine as ECGs haven’t picked any issue. He presc. 25mg b-blocker twice a day for a month to control palpitations & BP. That was a big relief for me that heart is ok. Within hour heart beat was 60. Wasn’t sure if I should start medicine. Went to chemist half heartedly later in the evening & heart beat went 96. Bought medicine, put it in box nd said will think about it later. Heart beat back to 72. Today it’s been max 76 resting nd 86 while working. Now, I am not sure should I start medicine or actually monitor my BP daily at home for one more week and take those results to GP. What if BP & palpitations were just white coat syndrome?
For as long as I can remember I have had what I can only describe as the worst motion sickness, when I was a little girl I would tell my parents that cleaning my room made me sick – because every time I would bend down and get up or be up and down cleaning the floor I would get nauseous. This followed me into adulthood, my first job in retail I would dread working the shop floor because it meant bending up and down to pick up clothes and feeling hot, dizzy, nauseous. I also get the world’a worst travel sickness, even on very short journeys, if I so much as look down at my phone for a nanosecond, or a backseat passenger asks me something and I turn around – instantly I feel nauseous enough that I could be sick any second. Lastly, when I have stand on the spot for longer than 10 minutes or so, I get so extremely hot and dizzy that I could faint any second, if I can’t get a seat on the train to work and I have to stand on the spot, sometimes it gets so bad I have to warn the people I’m near that I don’t feel good. The minute I sit down I start to recover and normality returns, also freezing cold air can help me get through the sick feeling. Like I say I’ve had this all my life and I have no explanation for it, but it’s starting to affect everything I do, I can’t even hoover my house without dreading the feeling. I started to notice it when I was around 8 or 9 and I started having to do chores like cleaning my room etc, and now I am 26. Can anybody shed light on this for me?

66 year old female. I had hernia repair 6 weeks ago. Incisional and belly button. 3 weeks ago I started having a burning tearing sensation in my low right abdomen. It mainly hurts when I sit down or stand up. Yesterday that sensation started radiating around my belly button. I don’t know what to do or who to see. Also, 3 weeks ago I got Bronchitis and coughed a lot. I assumed this sensation was further coughing. Meds I take are: Carvedilol, Triamterene, Pantorazole, Meloxicam, Levothyroxine, Tramadal for back pain, Vitamin D1, Stool Softners, Ventolin Inhaler, Fluticasone Nasal Spray. I quit taking Delsicol 2 months ago because of constant headache which went away when I quit taking it.
