I am a recovering alcoholic and am 8 days alcohol free, upper abdomen bloated?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hi, i am a recovering alcoholic and am 8 days alcohol free. Over the last 3 days i have been constantly bloated in the upper abdomen which is visible and also occasionally a slight sharp pain in the centre lower chest, just where the chest finishes. I am still eating normally and bowel movements are fine. My question is are these symptoms a part of alcohol withdrawal? My pulse is 68bpm. My medications are : campral 333mg 2 Tablets 3 times a day, Naltrexone 50mg Daily and Thiamine 100mg Daily. I’m a 40 year old male and weigh 90kgs and am 178cm tall. Thank You

I suddenly feel extreme shortness of breath, dizziness, vertigo,sharp heaviness in skull, neck, anxiety and panic?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Hi Dr…I don’t have asthma..but whenever I drink a very cold/chilled beverage or even sit in air conditioner, I suddenly feel extreme shortness of breath, dizziness, vertigo,sharp heaviness in skull, neck, anxiety and panic. Now, this continues for many hours and feels like i will surely pass out or even die. I have seen doctors for heart valves issues but he said its fine. I have tried inhalers and beta-blockers, EFT tapping, drink hot liquids etc but there is no benefit. I once had attack in plane and it was horrible. My lungs test was absolutely fine. I am very puzzled. Im around 30 yr old man with no major illness. If possible, could you please suggest something. thanks.

My husband has a non-small-cell lung cancer nodule in right/remaining lung?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

7 years ago my husband had a left side pneumonectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer.
Yesterday the doctor told us that his latest CT scan shows a nodule in the right/remaining lung.
What percent chance is it, that the nodule is NOT cancerous?
If it is – will this be treated as a recurrence or as a new cancer?
How will this be treated? Will chemo therapy be effective?

I’m worried that this mole could be skin cancer?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Hello. I’m worried that this mole could be skin cancer??? My dad is the one that has this. He says that when he pushes down on it, it feels like a nail going through. I’m also not sure if the mole has gotten bigger over the years. This mole, however, is hard & doesn’t feel fleshy at all. Please send me your opinion on this mole. Thank you.
