I have been suffering lethargy and nausea. Abdominal/pelvic bloating and feeling of needing to urinate often as well as deep low pelvic pain.

I am a 77 year old man with one kidney I was recently hospitalized they think that I had a silent heart attack but it’s now been 2 months I’ve been out everything is improve the doctor say by kidneys doing better my blood pressure is good my livers good everything looks like it’s improving but now they’re telling me they want to do a cardiac catheterization angiogram and I just feel like maybe it’s not necessary because I’m older and I don’t know if I should be doing that and I’m making improvements so why do I need to do that procedure
Hello — this question pertains to my son, who is 19 years old. He has had a pigmented mark on his upper back which I first noticed when he was about 8 or 10 years old. It started off looking like a cafe au lait spot, and throughout the years, it has darkened and become rougher in appearance. It is a little smaller that an inch, and looks like some smaller spots grouped together. His pediatrician had never raised any concern when I pointed it out, and he has no diagnosed medical conditions, I recently took him to a dermatologist, and the physician’s assistance there examined it with a dermascope and said it was a “linear epidermal nevus”, and further said that it can simply be monitored yearly and that the chances of it becoming anything dangerous are slim to none. Unfortunately I made the big mistake of googling epidermal nevi and ran across information concerning related syndromes associated with epidermal nevi, and also information indicating that these nevi could have a genetic mutation with associated skin disease in offspring. Again, my son has one solitary epidermal nevus and is otherwise healthy; just looking for some reassurance that I should not be concerned at all about related syndromes and potential gene mutations in his offspring (Dr. Google can be a dangerous man!) Thank you!

Been having digestive problems for over a year. Constipation or not feeling completely empty after bowel movements. Food sensitivities to soy wheat and diary. Stomach and guts feel inflamed and sore. Anxious feelings and can’t relax. Headaches and head tension. Lacking mental clarity. Lower back pain upon awakening. Tired and lethargic. Almost depressed like feelings because I never feel good. Have tried enzymes, apple cider vinegar with no improvement. Have tried multiple doctors who want to give me anxiety meds instead of diagnosing.

I do have an appointment, but again got a call my appointment has been pushed out. I’ve been waiting for 4 weeks now. Thank you
I am 64. Three years ago, I had a CT scan (or MRI) on my lungs to check for lung cancer (former smoker). It showed I had emphysema. I then went to Mayo Clinic in MI for assessment and was told it was mild and I may never be bothered by it.
Two weeks ago I did a sleep study at home. I did the unattended home portable study.
The Nurse called and said I did not have sleep apnea, but
The report states, “Primary Diagnosis as Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome”.
Report Results are:
02 sat less than 90% 481 minutes, less than 88% 202 minutes. Average 02 sat 88%. Average respiratory rate 12, pulse rate was about 65 plus or minus.
Respiratory events:
No obstructive apneas, 70 hypopneas.
AHI – 7.3 supine for 178 minutes AHI 7.1
Assessment:
Borderline obstructive sleep apnea G47.33
Hypoxemia G47.34
Recommendations 02 at 2L/min
Nocturnal oximetry study at 2 L/min
My question is, How serious is this, am I going to be dragging around an oxygen bottle in a couple of years?
How could I have “obstructive sleep apnea syndrome or Borderline obstructive sleep apnea if the results showed “no obstructive apneas?”
Being my AHI was 7.3 does that mean my case is “mild?” Is my oxygen saturation of 88% really bad?
I am 20-25 lbs overweight.
My question is regarding my mother; she is 62 yrs. old with no previous medical concerns, non-smoker, and non-drinker. However she does not regularly see a doctor for annual check ups. Just this month she cancelled a trip over seas due to finding blood in her urine. Ever since then she has had all kinds of testing done including: a physical with breast exam, blood work (Glucose-fasting, cholesterol, TSH, CBC), urinalysis, mammogram and bone densitometry, seen an OBGYN and had a pap, and a pelvic/abdominal ultrasound. Out of all these tests the bone densitometry showed signs of osteoporosis and the abdominal ultrasound showed some enlarged lymph nodes, everything else was normal including WBC. So her doctor recommended an abdominal/pelvic CT scan to “rule out malignancy” we did the CT and everything was normal except “at least 3 enlarged lymph nodes within the root of the small bowel mesentery the largest measuring 3.3x 1.8 x 2.9 cm. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy by size criteria. No ascites” –this is quoting the radiologists report. In this report he recommended we follow up with a chest CT to look for any other lymphadenopathy or overt intrathoracic malignancies and also that we biopsy the abdominal lymph nodes by ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration. So we did the chest CT and it came back as a normal chest CT with “no signs of intrathoracic lymphadenopathy”. Now we are booked in for the Fine needle biopsy on Thursday. My question is have we missed looking into anything that may have caused these 3 enlarged lymph nodes or could this be a purely isolated case? Would a PET scan help diagnose anything lurking that we may have missed? I understand that lymphoma could be a possible diagnosis and that is why they are doing the biopsy but does lymphoma generally start in the abdominal lymph nodes?
Thank you very much
Hi.
I am 65 year old. I referred to the clinic for pain while urinating. I saw a drop of blood later. The urologist required a cystoscopy. The final diagnosis read “Malignant neoplasm of bladder, part unspecified 188.9”. The doctor asserts me that i have no problems with the exception of a prostatic enlargement and gave me medicine for that.
I am worried about the final diagnosis.
Can you explain this to me with some plain English?
Thanks.
I hit the bottom part of my leg back in early April of this year on a wooden frame going around a settee. I went to A&E who said nothing was broken but no x-ray was taken. I’ve since seen two of my own gp’s as I’m still in pain, unable to touch it and still have a lump which they said was a collection of blood. They also refused me an x-ray stating ‘if you’d broken it, you’d certainly know about’. Surely 7 months of pain and swelling suggests otherwise? Could I have a stress fracture? How do I get a diagnosis when no doctor will send for an x-ray? The picture enclosed is how my leg was a few days after the accident and NOT how it looks now.

Hi,
The roof of my mouth slightly near the middle I have a few red/blood looking spots. I’ve only just noticed them today. The roof of my mouth has been itchy all day and only seems to of just occurred. One of the veins at the back of my throat is also looking really dark purple.

My Dr never mentioned anything about my chest x ray showings. Upon reading the report from the radiologist his report shows: biapical pleural thickening, perihilar interstitial prominence, mild hyperaeration. I don’t even know what any of this means. I haven’t had any symptoms until recently I started coughing and getting winded going up stairs, but aside from that I’m healthy.
I had laparoscopic myomectomy five months ago for a large subserosal fibroid- surgery went well with no complications. Three days ago I had abdominal pain and after going to the ER, I’ve been diagnosed with a large 10cm pelvic hematoma. After being monitored for 24 hours with regular bloods, temperature, blood pressure and ultrasound I was considered stable and able to leave hospital. I return tomorrow for further ultrasound and bloods to see if it’s still the same. I am not in my home country and do not have access to my surgeons. What is the best course of action for a stable but large hematoma? I’m now just in mild pain, resting with a heatpack and panadol, and no fever or nausea.
2 months ago I had a tumor on my spinal cord and had it removed. At that time I had swelling from t2-t5 and the tumor had compressed my spinal cord and caused spinal stenois. My surgery went as planned, but 2 months later I developed tingling in my left foot and leg, why is this happening?
