My brother has been losing his hearing abilities since he was 6-7 years old?

Posted on by — 6 Comments ↓

My brother has been losing his hearing abilities since he was 6-7 years old. he has been experiencing ringing in his ears that just gets louder and louder through out the years. He got hearing aid that have helped for a few months but his ears have gotten used to them so his hearing has gotten worse with them on; and when he doesn’t have them he practically can’t hear anything (only if you shout at him). We has received at CT scan that shows no abnormalities. The doctors have still not sid anything as they ‘dont know’ whats going on. I’m not a doctor but i was wondering if it was because he doesn’t eat alot of nutritious foods. He’s under weight and refuses to eat more greens and fruits. When he was a kid he has has a little un-balancement as it took him ages to learn how to walk properly. Taking iron tablets for extreme anemia.

I have chronic shortness of breath?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

Hi,
I have chronic shortness of breath. I usually feel a tightness in the chest area at the same time, and I have to stop mid sentence to take a deep breath sometimes after every word or every second word. But then sometimes when I really try hard to relax it is better. I have had the condition for about four years and I can remember a few occasions when it was not there, so that I could have a normal conversation.
I have a history of anemia and iron deficiency, high cholesterol ( but not high enough to be needing medication ), and narrow veins ( at least in the arms, the nurses always take a few minutes to decide which arm to take the blood from ).
I’m 43 years old, female and of normal weight.

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

My mom is 58 years old, she has been coughing several times each day for the past 9 months, sometimes she spits clear mucous after coughing ano in the last two days she is following the mucous with a vomit (while she’s vomiting she feel like that there are spike or needles being injected in all of her chest) and when she coughs hard she kind of having a little bit of a pee. One doctor checked her nose and said that she has an allergy, he prescribed her a nasal spray (she used it, but it didn’t change anything).
She also has an a skin allergy that doctors don’t know what causes it (they made an allergy test at hospital and it showed that she has no skin allergy at all), a point to mention, she gets that allergy often by sudden and sometimes when she gets very nervous or scared or angry.
She says that the cough is exhausting her so much.
Sometimes her heart beats hard suddenly for a while
Now the question is: what is the reason of the cough and how could she cure

Note: when she was 28 she had an allergy from chokes she used to cough hard back then when she used the board chokes. She cured from it by the help of the doctor (she doesn’t remember how) (she is an a retired teacher since 2 years ago) ..

She takes both ramipril 5mg and amlodipine for high blood pressure
She takes Aerius for skin allregy (and it works)
She takes simvaxon 10mg for cholesterol

Arogyam package test result shows imbalance in Homocystein level and vitamin B12 and D3 levels are very low?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

Recently, my brother(26 Years) started felling multiple symptoms of fatigue, lack of interest and poor concentrations.
We consulted a Psychiatrist and on his advise we conducted all the test from Arogyam package. The test result shows imbalance in Homocystein level and vitamin B12 and D3 levels are very low.

I went to a physician in Lucknow and he said he does not recognize Arogyam report and ordered test from his own clinic. I requested him to treat the B12 and D3 deficiency immediately via injection or other methods but he’s adament for report from his own lab. This induces doubt about his intention.

To all the esteemed panel of doctors here, I have couple of questions.

1. Is it the Vitamin B12/D3deficiency or Homocystein imbalance thats causing the above mentioned symptoms of lack of interest and fatigue.
2. As my brother is working in a very pivotal position with a cosulting firm. So can any of you suggest a suitable treatment which is effective and and works in less time.
3. Can any of you also suggest suitable doctor nearby Lucknow/Hyderabad who can do the job easily and quickly.
Please help.

My knees hurt after exercising I can hear there are small sounds coming from my knee, and they feel wobbly?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

Hi doctor.
Would like to first thank you for your time in reading my situation, i really do appreciate it.

I’ve been playing basketball for quite a long time, and my weight was considered average. But there’s been a time where I’ve been struck by depression , which developed into binge eating. I’ve then gotten overweight and had a hard time losing weight.

I still play basketball, but not only my weight has not gone down, my knees do hurt after exercising especially when going up the stairs. When I do squats , I can hear there are small sounds coming from my knee, and they feel wobbly as well. This has then hindered me from trying to run or play basketball.

Doctor I’d like to ask if there’s any way to improve my condition to the point that I can get back into playing basketball? If yes, may I ask how ?

Would be glad to hear from you soon.
Deepest gratitude.

My mother is 74 years old and taking medicines in large quantities, I don’t know what to do?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

My mother is 74 years old. She says she has hallucinations. She wants to go to the doctor every day. She says she has severe pain in her right side. She was diagnosed with pre-dementia and Alzheimers prior to my Dad’s passing last year. She says she sees dead people and angels. We took her to a Geriatric Specialist. He ran every test imaginable. He said she does not have Alzheimers and she is healthy as she can be. He placed her on a regimen of vitamins and she did well for a while. Now, she has gone to many different doctors (I was unaware) and is taking lots of medications. So, I begin looking into what she has been taking medicinally. She is currently taking promethazine, amitriptyline, estradiol, omeprazole, butalbital, sertraline and donepezil. What are the dangers of taking all of these medications together? Would this be why she is feeling this pains she talks about in her side? I do not know exactly what to do at this juncture. Now that I know she is taking all of these medications, what is my best course of action?

Every time I cough or sneeze I pass blood clots, also through vaginal discharge and during intercourse?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

I’m a 39 year old female. I’m not on any medications. I am a smoker. I have been having an issue for several months now. Everytime I cough or sneeze i pass these blood clots that are nearly the size of my palm. This happens even when im not on my period. When im on my period they are even bigger and have even had them fall out of my pants leg because the pad couldnt hold them. When im not on my period the bleeding and clots only last about an hour or so and stops until i sneeze or cough again. I also bleed when my husband and i have sex. There is no pain. Just the huge clots and the excessive bleeding

I caught Clostridium Difficile Colitis (cdiff), after antibiotics and fecal transplant I have pain, nausea and vomiting?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

I am a 37 year old women who was diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2008, I have been in “remission” for 5 years. After the birth of my son last December I caught cdiff and after 3 rounds of antibiotics I got a fecal transplant on October 11th. My cdiff has not returned, however I have been having a wide array of new symptoms since the transplant. Everything I eat causes extreme pain in my upper abdomen, extremely watery diarrhea 6+ times a day, constant nausea and vomiting. The nausea has gotten so bad that for the last 4 days I have been unable to keep food down and am only able to take small sips of water. I have lost 10 lbs in the past 7 days, 5 of those over the past 4 days. I have been to the er 3 times, I had a endoscopy and flex sigmoidoscopy on Tuesday and all pathologies came back normal. The only thing that came up is the z line is irregular. All of my labs have looked good as well. I get remicade infused every 8 weeks, I take zofran, phenergan, Prevacid, scopolamine patch, and Benadryl. My question is what do I do? Do I go to the er? I’m miserable, week, tired, I can’t take care of my kid and school has become impossible. Im nervous for the er, as they tend to no really believe me, and only focus on my Crohn’s, despit knowing it is in remission. Thank you in advance for any advise.
