Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hello

I have been having nosebleeds recently. I have had about six nose bleeding episodes in the last 7 months and in the past 5 days my nose was bleeding badly. Today it stopped but I am really worried. Thinking if it starts bleeding again I will go the ER. please tell me what can be the cause of these nosebleeds I get? thanks in advance.

I am having problems with heartburn, how can I make it stop?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

My name is (…) 43 years old. Male. Living in (…) I am slightly obese and had a H. pylori Infection 4 years back with a new Streptococcus infection 30 days ago. Treated by antibiotics. My blood work is pretty good except for the blood work I have had done recently which shows that my cholesterol is at 5.6 and bilirubin levels up. My specialist doctor says I may be susceptible to Gilbert’s syndrome. I am a very very big eater and usually have minor constipation and slight problems digesting with heartburn and bloating issues. What can I do to make this stop? Are these problems interrelated?

I suffer from a Vocal Cord Dysfunction, my vocal cords constrict…can’t breath?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I am a 39 yr old male, and I have a question about Vocal Cord Dysfunction, that I suspect I may be suffering from.
I have read that the standard discription of VCD is that when you have a bout of it, you can’t breath for up to half a minute.
My problem is that every once in a while my vocal cords constrict, upon inhaling, but only for about half a second. Can this also be a symptom of Vocal Cord Dysfunction? My throat usually gets tight just before, and suddenly my throat (vocal cords) close up for a short moment. I can there after breath normally. It isn’t something that scares me, but it’s very irritating and frustrating not knowing what it is and what causes it. Thank you! God bless!

Question: I am 50 years old, doctor says no need for contraception?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hello, I am 50 years old, my 2 last periods were 6 months apart and very light – spotty. blood test – TSH 4.26; t4-free 1.0; FSH 81.5; Prolactin 11; Estradiol (E-2) 24.67. I had my IUD (one with no hormones – NovaT) removed last week after 10 years of use (5 years each time) and am not taking any sort of hormone therapy. my gynecologist said I don’t need any form of contraception any more.
I would like a second opinion…Given this background information, would you reach the same conclusion, that I no longer need contraceptives of any kind?

My granddaughter has an awful sore, doctor doesn’t know what it was?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

My granddaughter came over for the weekend with this awful sore on her side. Her parents said they took her to the doctor and were told that they didn’t know what it was to put antibiotic cream on it. You should be able to see the small red dot next to the big sore. That red dot is starting to look like the other one. Any ideas on what it could be?

I have diabetes and feel light headed almost every day, what is wrong?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I have diabetes and take medication. Often every day I feel kind of light headed. I also get – at times – a kind of shaky feeling. When that happens I usually head towards the fridge to have some juice and eat some food asap. As soon as I eat or drink I start to feel better. What is wrong? Is this a diabetic reaction? Please advise.

I am coughing intermittently for about 5 months now, is this an allergy?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I am coughing intermittently for about 5 months now, my doctor advised me to get an allergy test done. Which I did.
The IGE immunoglobin serum test which I made came back with a value of 515 and the laboratory reference value is <65. Does this mean I have allergies- that I am allergic to something? I would like to know if this indicates that there is a problem with me? What do I need to do now? Is there medication that I need to take? I am a 35 year old woman. I never had any problems before. Don't take any medication whatsoever. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanking you and your team ahead of time. Regards (...)

My son was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma – Primary Mediastima : abnormal non mass like circumferential mucosal hyperdensity present?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓


Hi, my 17 year old son was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma – Primary Mediastima last August. He went through a 6 cycle regimen of r-chop and completed in Jan. He had a PET/CT scan done in Feb which showed the cancer had decreased enough to claim success (went from 9.5 X 5.9 cm and nodes in lung, neck & armpit to 3.9 X 2.8 cm with nodes gone). He went back in for a CT scan in May and they found no real difference in the mass measurement but they did find in the mediastinum an “abnormal non mass like circumferential mucosal hyperdensity present in the esophagus throughout the thorax, most conspicuously in the region of the thoraci inlet and upper mediastinum, significantly increased compared to prior scan”. My question is, would this concern you? Would you want to do any follow up tests? Do you believe it is heartburn (my son has no symptoms of heartburn)? Given his history of cancer is there a chance this is related to cancer or even cancer again?
