58, female, diagnosed central sleep apnea, treated unsuccessfully with CPAP. Not experiencing dyspnea upon exertion.
Can being treated with a CPAP instead of a BiPAP for central sleep apnea cause pulmonary hypertension?
I am 33 years old female. To start, for the past week and a half I have had a pre-existing vein injury. I was given an IV incorrectly in the ER which gave me superficial thrombophlebitis. My hand and forearm on the right side were affected. I was almost healed when today I smashed my right thumb by accident. After smashing it the pad of my right thumb turned purple and my hand begin to tingle, traveling up my right forearm. I immediately ran it under warm water and elevated above heart level like instructed when I first got the vein injury. I am concerned that since I had a pre-existing vein injury that smashing my thumb could have caused complications in my nerves. I do have some swelling in the whole right hand again now, mostly In the thumb. But the tingling is traveling through my whole hand and forearm. I was looking for insight as to whether or not I should continue to care for it as I did when I first got the vein injury by applying heat and keeping it elevated or if I should see my doctor as soon as possible. I have attached photos
Greetings,
i Have Problems With Platelets – I was told it is PTI or IPT purpura thrombopénique idiopathique – idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
i was taking a treatment MyFortic + Prednisone but the Platelets did not raise they are below 10,000 about 8200
i was told that i need a surgery to remove the spleen.
is it the 1st step to make it ? as i was reading i saw maybe it is a cause from vitamin C i did not do a vitamins blood test
is there any other ways or something to prevent the surgery

I have had symptoms of hepatitis since September . Before I was always constipated and now I use the bathroom 2-3 times a day and although it’s been light colored a few times it’s usually just a weird color like orangey or really dark . I have had dark urine a couple of times . My hands and feet are always very red I have pain where the liver is . I have a horizontal line on my thumb nail and putting on almost all nails . I have not been jaundice. I have been tested for hep b 6 weeks after exposure and was neg and have been tested for hep c up until dec 5 and was neg . The exposure was sexual. My 3 year old and 5 year old are having all the symptoms I have as well and just got the 5. Yr olds blood work done 3 months after I noticed symptoms and is neg on hep panel . Although the doc should be calling me with final report . I have lived the past 6 months a distraught mess crying everyday because I am in fear that my kids have this disease. I can’t let the thoughts go bc all the symptoms are there but the tests keep being negative . Please help me understand or give me some advice on what I need to do .
I am a 36yr old female. I have recently begun procedures to investigate infertility. My free TW levels are 1.24. My TSH levels are 4.42 and my prolactin levels are 36.72. I have been prescribed euthyrox and dostinex. Can you tell me if this is appropriate medication? I am on no other medication, have regular periods and have no medical complaints. Unfortunately, the medical care provided but the state is generally accepted as poor in the country where I live and I would love a second opinion before I start perhaps unnecessary drugs.
My Mother gets this head spins, small head spins during daytime, I hold her head firm until spinning is gone, she wears collar too when her head gets spinning, now head spins occur during sleep and are long and vision gets black or blurred, a general physician gave her cinnarizine tablets for these head spins, it did work but now it does not so often. And to mention that after these head spins she feels vomiting too but it does not come.

Hi, I am 35. 2 years back had undergone a big surgery to remove my appendix. It was big because they couldn’t diagnose the cause of the pain and the cut my stomach. Its a big horizontal cut starting from little above the navel point till the beginning point of pubic region. My problem is since that time im having a bloating stomach. I showed it to a Gastro Doc. He said could be Intestinal adhesion and may need to operate if it is painful or if it is obstructing the bowel. I dont have any pain. What could it be and how do i get rid of it? Please help.

Hi, My amylase and lipase percentage has been 5 time the normal range high due to acute pancreatitis. While admitted in hospital, the WBC count was also abnormally high which has now been under control, however the lipase and amylase enzyme range is still alarmingly high. Please suggest medication to control the same and to help bring down the levels to the normal reference range of under 140 U/L
Hello my partner who is 53 has been diagnosed with a benign ovarian cyst around 10cm. We are expats living in Cyprus and the private clinic here want to do a full hysterectomy, i am seriously debating taking her for a second opinion on the other procedures available. Do you agree?
I am 67and female. I have always had very dry skin, and at present wearing anything synthetic causes extreme nausea, faintness and beating heart. The symptoms gradually worsen until I remove the offending item(s). The same symptoms occur temporarily if I even touch synthetics fabrics of any kind. A dermatologist recommended Aveena moisturizing cream and prescribed Clobetasone. But the Aveena produced the same symptoms and I had to bathe, flannel and towel it off, and do not like therefore to risk the Clobetasone. The condition has gradually become more extreme over the past couple of months. I cannot even go out, as the synthetic lining all coats have affects me even through the clothes underneath, and feels as if it is burning me. Could I have thin skin? Would extreme dehydration cause it?
Hello , My name is (…) I am 22 years old . I have recently been having some mild stomach pain but also a lot of burning sensations in my upper stomach . I had an endoscopy done and a colonoscopy done and would like a second opinion about my biopsy results . My doctor says its not Crohns disease but what is it then ? It says that I have lymphoid hyperplasia and mild duodentites and mild gastritis . What does This mean ? And wht is the treatment ?

About 4-5 months ago, I addressed to the doctor with abdominal pain in the navel. Having passed all the tests was found: dysbiosis (Bifidumbacterium <10 * 8 Lactobacillus <10 * 6.) And the fungus Candida 2x10 * 4. The doctor prescribed antibiotics - Itrakon, probiotics, and medicine to relieve loaded with liver. After treatment significant changes are not felt. After 2-3 months caught cold, cured for 2-3 days, but the cough has not passed, found: Klebsiella pneumoniae * 10 4 CFU / g, Streptococcus mitis * 10 6 cfu / g. Propyl antibiotics are all gone, but returned abdominal discomfort: pain in the navel, feeling of incomplete bowel movement, constant flatulence. General weakness and fatigue, and sometimes feel a sense of intoxication or disposal (not present), and difficulty in concentration in these moments, drowsiness. I thought back candidiasis. Passed fecal bacteria overgrowth found: Bifidumbacterium rate * 10 8 - 10 * 10 results: <10 * 8 * Lactobacillus rate of 10 6 - 10 9 * result: <10 * 6 Normal E. coli rule 10 * 6 - 2x10 * 8 result : 2x10 * 8 Acinetobacter anitratus result: 10 * 8 Candida were found. Q. Should I be concerned about Acinetobacter anitratus, information on the Internet is not found. Can symptoms description (weakness, fatigue, abdominal pain) be a sign of a dysbacteriosis?
