Suffering really bad conjunctivitis, inflammation of left eye?

My boyfriend is suffering really bad conjunctivitis for the past 3 days. He has got so weak and tired. His left eye is so inflamed it’s really worrying me. I was told that eye-drops are a good way to get rid of it but i’m not 100% sure. I think it’s the bacterial one he’s got because the white part around the eye is really sore and red. Please, any help would be great.

I have been diagnosed with (PID) Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, what should I do?

I have been diagnosed with PID and have been prescribed azithromycin, doxycycline, and metronidazole vaginal gel. My symptoms prior to fx were malodorous light green/yellow discharge, and itching. I am on day 4 of the doxycycline and metronidazole gel and am experiencing chunky white discharge with no odor, but unbelievable itching. I am also experiencing pretty bad nausea with the doxycycline. What should I do and do I need to see my doctor again?

I have been suffering from a range of problems, my GP says it is mental, need second opinion?

For the last few years I have been suffering from a range of problems. Mostly mental things like brain fog, confusion, inability to focus and think straight. Also a lot of muscle aches and weakness. I find it particularly hard to walk up and down stairs because my legs and lower back seem weak and wobbly and I have difficultly balancing/controlling movement. I also often drop things especially when feeling particularly weak. I am lethargic, shaky and sometimes get a tightness in chest/restrictive feeling in throat. This seems strange for someone who is relatively young, fit and healthy. I recently got blood test results from my GP who tells me it is all in my head since nothing is showing up in blood tests. I have had full blood count, iron, b12, glucose, liver function, thyroid function, CRP and ESR. All are normal. I had slightly low vit D about 6 months ago despite being the outdoorsy type but I have been having a D3 supplement since then to treat that. Is there anything else that could be wrong with me that wouldn’t be showing up on these tests? I will be looking for a new GP soon but I need to know what sort of things to ask them. I really feel that there is something seriously wrong. Surely a 30 year old woman should not be such a physical and mental cripple! I also often get things like coughing up greenish grey sticky gunk in the mornings and pustules on face and in hair and shoulder and bottom. It seems like at least once a month I get swollen lymph nodes and am also prone to abscesses under arms and in groin area. These aren’t as worrisome as other symptoms but I am just generally pale, weak, tired and unwell!

I have problems sleeping, what is wrong?

So about 3 weeks ago I was having problems sleeping, I though it was just because I was not doing anything during the day, so my energy was stored, so I did, and it worked, but now I’m having the same problem, like I get so close to falling asleep, then I think of falling asleep, and wake up again, so now I kinda just think it’s a mental thing.
No one in my family has this problem, my doc said that I was really low in vitamin D and Iron, if that helps and I have never had problems sleeping until now and it’s making me want to cry and be sad, I love sleeping I don’t know what to do. Please help me. I don’t want to take sleeping pills as a 18 year old should not help to sleep.
Please help me I’m desperate, just finished my period too, but I don’t think I had it last time I was having this problem – I tried to be my own doctor with Google but I thought I should just ask I professional… they don’t have medicare here so it’s like 140 to visit a doctor.. :,( and also, I don’t think insomnia just comes on ( or does it) when in my whole life I have never had problems, I just think there might be a reason, and I pray to God I want to fix it..

I have much higher blood pressure when resting…is it unusual?

On checking my blood pressure over the last 3 days I have found that i have much higher blood pressure when resting – either on going to bed or waking – 150/100 to 145/95 with a pulse rate of 55 to 63. However when active during the day it varies between 135/90 to 118/74 with a pulse rate of 65 to 80. I am 66 years of age/ 6′ 2″ tall and 15 1/2 stone.
This seems illogical. I am a non smoker and light drinker and have no historic illnesses.
I have recently been referred to a cardiologist following a single episode of moderate chest pain that woke me up from sleep and lasted about 1 hour but with no other symptoms. he found no obvious reasons for the pain but arranged an echo cardiogram which showed some enlargement of the arteries in my heart(?) which he wanted to follow up in 12 months.
I am on vacation at the moment so cannot speak to my GP with the findings. Can you advise or confirm that the readings are not unusual or require urgent investigation
Many thanks

Is this scabies. I need a second doctor opinion?

Is this scabies???? I just saw a general doctor at Kaiser and that’s what she diagnosed me with. I have a referral to see a dermatologist, but couldn’t get in today to see a specialist. I’m kind of freaking out. Please help identify the rash (located next to my underarm below my shoulder) please confirm or dis confirm.

I have extreme pain in my lower right abdomen, ER doctor says it is a cyst?

Extreme pain in my lower right abdomen started in March. After 2 visits to ER, 1 visit to OBGYN, 1 visit to Primary care phys and then admitted to Hospital I’m still in pain. ER said it is the cyst, appendix was ruled out. OBGYN said its too small to be causing my extreme pain. Hospital did check gallbladder, did an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Some minor issues were found in GI but nothing significant. My pain in my lower right abdomen is unbearable. Tramadol was prescribed, but does nothing. Other symptoms included: constant nausea, constipation, pain in my mid and lower back down into my butt and hips. Pain in lower abdomen sometimes hurts on both sides now. At times I feel pressure in my entire abdomen. Spend days with heat packs wrapped around me laying in bed or sitting in a warm tub. It has completely disabled me from any normal function during the day except to concentrate on alleviating the pain. I have had 4 menstrual cycles since this began and it hasn’t gotten any better. I have Factor V Lieden, which caused 3 miscarriages over ten years ago, but not sure if this is an issue. I need some direction before I loose my mind to the pain.

I was diagnosed with Pulmonary tuberculosis – Lung nodule, please advise?

I was diagnosed with PTB on RUL of my lungs last Feb and took Clarithro 500 7 days + erdosteine. But I didn’t had mucus so I failed to perform sputum testing. Now on my xray it showed a lung nodule. A local pulmo ordered me to get my xray last Feb (which I have it now) and sputum test (BUT STILL I CANT PRODUCE A PHLEGM). What should I do now? Thank you.

My 2 year old daughter cannot walk, doctors baffled?

My daughter turned 2 recently and she is finding it extremely difficult walking by her self, however she is able to stand with support and is able to walk using objects like tables or chairs. I have taken her to a few doctors who seem baffled, she has very poor lower limb movement and strength. The size of her lower limb are disproportionate to her upper body, she has no muscle mass in her legs and they may have begun to atrophy? she also has hypermobility in her knees which is also affecting her lower limbs, and walking.
Tests completed:
1. Nerve conduction Studies: very poor results in legs.
2. MRI Spine (under G.A) did not find anything.
3. Blood tests all good!

What do these Spirometry test results mean? …last resort!

I am reaching out as a LAST RESORT…..I cannot get a straight answer regarding the results of my spirometry test. Values were as follows: FEV1 3,07, predicted 3.06;% predicted, 100%; FVC 4.49, predicted 4.07; % predicted, 110%; FEV1/FVC, 68%.

I am a 61 year old male, 66 inches tall, weight 153 lbs……

My question is this…..if FEV1 is 100% of predicted, and FVC is 110% of predicted, should not these values enter in to a diagnosis of COPD??….( which is what my PCP said that I have).

….my understanding is that FEV1 is as important a number as the ratio….and isn’t FEV1 MORMAL?!?….

…..the report said “normal diffusing capacity (DLCO” and “normal lung volumes”.

I’m frightened and baffled at the same time!…..I have no respiratory symptoms, and run 15-20 miles per week (11-min. miles).

ANY insight would be appreciated!

Thank you!

I have had 5 episodes of what I thought was food poisoning, please advise?

I’m having a second episode of a problem that 1st occurred 10 months ago. Started with moderate/ severe pain in the groin with reduced urine flow and swelling of the vaginally tunnel. Pain felt like squeezing in left side like something might bust. It turned excruciating with me screaming in pain. I went to ER. They referred me to gynecologist. Pain levels went up and down but never left. Doctor did all tests including exploratory with no results. I was put on doxycycline for 3 weeks. It worked. Since then I have had 5 episodes of what I thought was food poisoning. But really, 5 times, not likely. Starts with no warning, no ill feeling, no stomach pain, then diarrhea and then awhile after vomiting. For about 8 hours. Then I’m weak but fine. Currently I’ve been treating myself. I started with a liquid diet for 3 days and bactrim (what I have available). Pain eased alot but now is coming back strong on left side. I can point to the small but excruciating spot. What do you think?
