I am a 32 year old female. I recently went to the doctor complaining of tiredness and felt my hair was less thick. I was sent for blood test which revealed I was anemic and had abnormal dsdna antibodies. I have been referred to a rheumatologiet but there is a long wait. Does this mean it is likely I have SLE? Other then reflux and tiredness I have no specific symptoms
Diagnosed 10/31 with Pleurisy, 11/2 with Bronchitis. Pain is still severe on right side of chest and back. BP is elevated last reading 170/96 and hr is 117.
I went to my reg doc and they only suggested going to the emergency room or to up the pain medicine. I had a blood clot last year in the same area, so it is just concerning for me. I am not sure if I should go to the ER or just ride it out.

About 19 months ago I injured myself during a rugby game. I fell on my right side and another player fell on my upper left side (chest and shoulder/upper arm). On impact of the second player i felt my left clavicle shift towards my sternum, causing pain. I continued to play for the duration of the match (20-30 minutes) but stayed away from any further collisions. I did attempt to lift players for line outs, but was unable to lift my left arm above my shoulder without pain. After the match, as i cooled down and my heart rate returned to normal, the pain in my left sternum and shoulder muscle increased. It was enough to limit movement of my left arm upwards. I also had pain in the left of my chest, worsening with deep breathing, coughing and laughing. There was a small lump at my left sternum, which shrank over maybe 2 months. The left chest pain subsided over 2 weeks and by a month was completely gone. I could not sleep on my left side for maybe 2 months before the pain in my left collarbone let up. I still have an ache/stiffness in my left upper shoulder muscle (the muscle running from the base of the ear down to the top of the arm). I did not seek medical treatment as I had no difficulty breathing or swallowing, and assumed I would just be told to rest it. I returned to rugby 14 months ago with no trouble other than the left shoulder stiffness, which i now consider chronic.
3 months ago i experienced sudden onset breathlessness upon returning from a foreign holiday. For a day or so before I came home I had a dry cough with occasional green/white sputum. After blood tests and a chest X ray at hospital I was told I had a chest infection, and was given a 5 day course of antibiotics. the cough subsided within 3 days of returning.
Coming to right now, I am still having mild difficulty breathing. It is constant, from the waking up to going to sleep. It feels as if I won’t breathe unless I force the movements, pushing a little bit more air out in order to pull a bit more in under negative pressure. It does not hinder any activities significantly. It doesn’t worsen with exercise, but it doesn’t improve either. It is most obvious when lying in bed.
My question (finally) then, is, would my collarbone injury be linked in some way?
hi docter my mother is 42 and a MDR TB patient and uses her treatment everyday but she is still coughing blood can you tell me what is wrong please it happens regularly I really need your help please tell me what to ….
I am a male ageing 57 years old have been suffering from enlargement of prostrate for last 2 years. During October 2015 my PSA was detected at 10.92.Thereafter I underwent TRUS and prostrate BX. But it revealed no sign of malignancy. However immediately after Prostrate BX , I was fallen acutely sick with complete retention of Urine. Accordingly, I was hospitalized in January 2016 and treated with iv injection and catheterization. At the time of discharge after one week with catheter in situ, I was advised to go for TURP at the earliest. However, I was not in favor of surgery. Hence, I had made consultation with another surgeon in last week of January 2016 and based on his advice I have undergone MRI Prostrate .PI Rads of MRI is 3/5. Depending on the report, he prescribed me the medicine CONTIFLOW-D and advised me to report after 1.5 months with PSA Report. Accordingly, I made report to him in FEBRUARY 2016 WTH MY PSA reading at 8.05. On going through the report, the doctor removed my catheter, prescribed the same medicine –CONTIFLOW-D, and asked me to report again in May 2015 with PSA REPORT. On 7th.May 2016, I visited the doctor with PSA reading at 6.05.The doctor then prescribed me Urimax-D and Calutide-50. in replacement of the earlier prescribed medicine. However on consuming Calutide-50, I being a bronchial Asthma patient, developed breathing problem. Accordingly, I made my PSA test on 13.06.2016 and visited doctor on 15.06.2016 with PSA report of 2.72 .On going through the report the doctor advised me to continue other medicine excepting Calutide and report after 03 months with report on PSA and Haemoglobin. I have made my PSA and haemoglobin on 02.11.2016 and the report of test reveals that PSA has been elevated to 5.27 while haemoglobin % has also increased from 14.0 to 14.4.With the report I have consulted my Urologist on 05.11.2016 and due to elevation of PSA he has advised me to continue Calutide again.
I have learnt from my chemist that the medicine Calutide is generally prescribed for treatment of Prostate cancer. I am rather worried if I have been suffering from the said Incurable disease.
In view of the above, kindly inform me if Calutide can also be prescribed for BPH.
21, Female, only medications are headache medication, over the counter, etc. I’ve been experiencing a nonstop period for several months. I do have a daughter, but she’s 9 months. I talked to my OB/GYN and he said it could be where my body is still pushing out all the held periods during my pregnancy, but I don’t think it’s that considering she’s 9 months already. I have an extreme loss of appetite, as well as when I was pregnant. I can go hours without a meal, and when I do get hungry, I either eat very little or a lot.
I’m just looking for answers as to what it could be. I’ve done research and it sounds like I have endometriosis, or it could be my fibroids. I would just like a medical professional’s opinion as to what’s wrong with me.
I am sending this question for my mother in law who has been suffering from cough for about 2 months. She was suspected to have a lung cancer since the CT scan reveals several nodules on her lungs. She was tested for sputum and came out negative. She also underwent fine needle biopsy but it did not rule our the carcinoma even though they only found a few atypical cells and no malignant cells are found. What other tests can we do to confirm or totally rule out the possibility of having a cancer? Aside from lung cancer, what are the other possible illness that has these same symptoms? Does the attached biopsy insufficient to rule our carcinoma? She is 57 years old.

For the last year and half I’ve had these terrible headaches almost every day
I get this pulsating feeling in my temple and between my eyes & My whole head throbs .
When it first started I went to an ophthalmologist who told me I’ve migraines but described nothing for it
It got worst & I went to a bunch of doctors
Till I got the final diagnosis that I’ve neck muscles strain that caused a TMJ problem & that maybe my disc has been moved from it’s position or something like that
I did an MRI but it showed that there’s nothing wrong with my jaw.
I ignored the problem for a while
Until last week , beside the usual terrible headache , I’ve got this electrical feeling in the right half of my face
It ran in three places , around my eyebrow and eye , tip of nose and my upper lip , and along my mandible.
I’m not sure what’s the problem anymore , or who should I go to? The pain is becoming unbearable. I’d appreciate the help .

My name is Mrs (…) and I’m worried about my friend in Yangon Myanmar who is in hospital with a staph infection. What is worrying her is the knife like stabbing pains in her head coming at about 10 second busts apart. The doctors speak English well but they are not able to identify if the two are linked. Also if she was to fly out to get more treatment would it be dangerous flying with this condition?
