I am having difficulty staying hydrated. When I try to drink any substantial amount of water, I feel sick and get diarrhea within 30 minutes. It doesn’t matter if I’ve recently eaten or not, and filtered vs. tap water doesn’t make a difference either. This has been going on for at least six months, off and on. More recently, within the last month, I’ve been having some chest pain on the left side that feels like heart burn, and some palpitations. My GP said my heart is fine, so I think it’s because I’m always dehydrated. What can I do to keep from getting sick off water?
I’m 15 and female. Previously I have had alopecia Areata and eczema. I have cold hands almost all the time, even in the summer. They don’t really change in colour, just go a bit patchy and pale. When I hand something to someone they feel my hand and say how freezing my hands are which causes embarrassment. My skin is generally really pale anyway. I also lack concentration and coordination.
What could this be?
I am a 41 year old female. I have been having pain in my mid back mostly leftnside but does move to the right. I also have pain in my lower left rib cage. Lately the pain seems to move from left to right in my back and both sides. What could this be cause by. Oh and sometimes the pain is stabbing.
I had sex for the first time with a massage girl using condom, she used one condom for bj and later used second condom on first one so I had sex using two condoms at same time for less than a minute. She said she is safe and then i started to fully penetrate her. My doubt is what are the chances of HIV/STD, as STD can transmit from infected person to uninfected person through mucous membrane. If the uninfected person has no cuts or open lesions and used condom can he get STD?
I am interested in implanting a Bio-Thermo RFID. I had a quick question regarding implant site. Temperature consistency is important to me, but the armpit or inner bicep is out of the question. I wanted to ask if it would be safe to implant over the ilium, just inside the hip bone (>2 cm away from bone). It seems as though the bone would protect the chip from blunt trauma and as hips aren’t often exposed to open air the readings should be more consistent than, say, a forearm. From what I’ve read so far, there are no nerves that would be at risk of being damaged in this region, but I wanted to reach out and ask your opinion on this.
I am 68 and I am having this dry skin condition after medication for diabetics and cardio vascular (medicine like betaloc 100 mg, ismo, trevidon, atocar, etc.). Suggest me some solution for this condition. Would like to take external cream or lotion and soap for bathing. Thank you! Allopathy medicine preferred.
I’m a 19 year old female with no medical history (besides an allergy to penicillin). Recently, I have had a reaction that has concerned me. After a night out with friends, the next day I had convulsions, nausea, vomiting (to the point of bile), migraines, fever, hot and cold flushes. I had drunk a glass of water per standard drink and had eaten before and after drinking. As this had only occurred for the first time, I decided I must have drunk too much and I left it. Recently, I went out with friends again, I had no more than 10 standard drinks over 8 hours (I have drunk more than this before with the same types of alcohol and had no reaction), however I had this reaction again, but more severe. I had all the same symptoms, but my convulsions were more severe and lasted for a longer period of time, I also was semi-conscious (fading in and out), I had some visual and audio hallucinations, and my hot and cold flushes were more extreme. Most concernedly, I felt an intense cold, stabbing pain in my liver (as in, in the specific area where I knew my liver was, and to me it felt like I could feel the entire organ go cold and shut down). This again was all the next morning, and I had eaten before and after and drank at least one glass of water per standard drink. As this reaction was more severe, with less alcohol, and with alcohol that I have drunk before but with no reaction, I am very concerned as to what is causing it. I know it isn’t the type of alcohol, the amount of water, the meal’s I ate, or the amount of sleep I had had already.
I am a 19-year old female, underweight but have been active and healthy before the onset of my symptoms.
I experience multiple symptoms daily including:
Fatigue
Dizziness
Lightheadedness
Brief loss of conciousness
Fast resting heart rate
Numbing of hands
Muscle twitches
Breathlessness
Couging feeling
Chills
Strange sensations in my chest
Chest pain upon strenuous exercise
This was how it started.
Symptoms I had for the first two days were:
Heart and arteries were pounding
Heart rate was fast
Reddish face
Felt very warm/hot
Leg tingling
Anxiety
The triggers may have been:
I ate too much food which compressed my thorax
I may have hypoventilated or did some strange breathing pattern
It’s been two months. The results were all normal for:
Blood tests
Urine tests
Chest xray
ECG
Echocardiogram
Blood pressure
Thus, most problems have been eliminated. The thing is, I am certain that I am NOT just being anxious or stressed.
The only disease I’m worried about is pulmonary hypertension (since I read that diagnosis usually occurs only two years after symptom onset)
Is it likely/possible for me to have pulmonary hypertension given the triggers, symptoms and diagnosis? Or are there anything else that could have led to this exact problem?
Living life in uncertainty and with strange sypmtoms 😛
I’m a young athlete and my period is such a hassle. I just wish I could get rid of it. It’s irregular and lasts for 7-8 days. My past few periods have been unbearable- 8 days long and terrible cramps. I don’t want to go on the pill because emotionally my hormones have balanced out and I’m worried that if I take any form of birth control it will mess that up. I’ve started considering a hysterectomy just to get rid of it but I can’t really take time off from my training. I just don’t know what to do!
I’ve been suffering from at times debilitating pelvic pain for a year and a half. It primarily affects my bladder, lady parts and colon/intestines and will feel like I’m literally being stabbed when it flares. It now rules my life and nobody is finding exactly what is going on. I was initially diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis, and then another Urologist told me he didn’t think I had it. Then the same happened with Endometriosis. Other symptoms include pain sometimes intensifying about an hour or so after I eat, ANY pressure on my pelvis – I can barely wear pants or tolerate a seat belt, aggravation with being on my feet or exercise (gravity/pressure). I feel bloated and sometimes my bowels are compromised… it will be hard at the beginning, then totally loose and I never feel like I’m fully emptying. It hurts to push when I urinate and my bladder definitely has been uncomfortable. The pain is becoming too much and I’ve met too many Dr’s who don’t believe me and just think I’m trying to inappropriately get my hands on pain meds, while I’m legitimately suffering. I don’t know what to do.
For the past several weeks, I’ve had pain in my throat, but it’s been spreading. At first it was in my throat itself, at the front deep down closer to where my neck reaches my torso. Because my teeth are falling apart and I can’t hardly chew food, I thought maybe it was sore from under-chewing food, but that was before the pain has spread. It feels like the entire front of my neck and now even the top of my chest around my neck are sensitive and I sort of feel like I’m being strangled when something touches near the base of my neck.
I’m male, aged 37. I have never smoked, neither cigarettes nor marijuana, and very rarely drink alcohol. I have never huffed anything. I’m not sure what might be causing this pain.
Hi. Im (…)r and im 31 years old. I had an ultra sound for my first pregnancy test few weeks ago but was told there is no heartbeat. At that time i was about 11 weeks but the radiologist said it was much smaller than what it should be. After hearing that i was very sad. I havent seen a doctor yet and waiting for natural miscarriage. I had no bleeding so far, just mild cramp as if im getting my period and no pregnancy symptoms anymore. Please tell me what should i do? Is it ok to do natural miscarriage? How long does it take for dead fetus to come out? This is my first pregnancy so i need help.
I’m a 20 year old female. I get sick maybe once a year and it’s usually just a cold. I’ve been diagnosed with Strep but my test came back negative. This happened around the same time last year as well, also a negative test result. I’ve been on antibiotics for over 48hrs but have had no change in my condition. My throat has actually began to feel worse. My tonsils are swollen but I have no visible pus or stones on them. I’ve been throwing up any meals I eat that are larger than just a single banana here and there (I NEVER throw up. I’m cursed with some sort of stomach of steel that would rather I suffer through a belly ache for days rather than just getting whatever the problem is out). I’m still getting cold sweats and feeling slightly feverish. I was prescribed Amoxicillin 875mg twice daily. Picture attached of what my throat looks like today
A 65 yr old lady developed pain in right leg starting from right buttock gradual in onset.which increase during sitting or that part touch to any object.lady is in severe pain and not able to do any activates.we consulted neurosurgeon.mri was done.medical treatment is being given but no significant improvement.
I have muscle stiffness on my neck,my facial muscles and (Temporomandibular Joint Disorders) tmj Also become stiff.it also has a grip on my ocular muscles.
Right side is more affected than left
I can’t focus,concentrate and forget easily.
My ent,ophthalmologist,dentist and neurologist all have said there is nothing wrong related to their respective field.
I have this grip on me from the time I wake up till I go to sleep.
It gets better for a while when I wake up but then start again immediately.
It’s not migraine,could be anxiety or stress but don’t have any issues in my life and I also took antidepressants for 3months but to no vail.
The last is postural changes in my spine or neck causing it,I’ve had regular physiotherapy and neck massages and stretches but it’s still there although there’s some relaxation after all these.
Now I’ve run out of option any one having any other differential or anything ?
My labs are fine.,my MRI showed multiple demyelinating foci in bilateral frontoparietal lobe.im 25 my neurologist said it’s nothing just plaques probably normal but might also turn into MS. And the muscle spasm could also be a result of it.
But the area of demyelination isn’t characteristic of MS.
