About 4 days ago a rash broke out on my face, mainly around my eyes, mouth, and ears.  I also have been suffering a toothache which is at its worst today.  Im not sure if the two are related or if its a wisdom tootChatDoctoring combining with some sort of food allergy.  The only different food i consumed prior was a mango about 6 days ago.  I once had an allergic reaction to a raw mango i ate in Hawaii 7 years ago however that rash went away after about two days.  its now day 5 and the rash has not gotten any better at all.  I dont have insurance so im not sure if its worth going to a doctor to just be told to take benadryl and swish salt water.  Could this be serious? Could i possibly have gotten some sort of infection from my tooth and then it spread into a rash.  Im also experiencing a sore throat and lightheadedness.

I am a 60 year old male.  I had a MI in 1996 and a double by-pass following my attack.  For 6 years the only medication I took was a baby aspirin daily.  At age 50 I developed an atrial fibrillation and had a pacemaker installed.  Now at age 60 my cardiologist suggested an upgrade to a pacemaker that would improve heart function.  Is that an indication that my heart function has deteriorated to the point of not being able to reverse the effects of the CHF and problems I continue to have with fluid in the lungs?

While i was in mexico they heard a wierd sound but here they never heard it. Im scared it might be my heart because i get shortness or breath, and also i have recently been told i have asma.

My first pregnancy test were very pale to the point u had to hold it up to the light to see. I visited my OBG on Sept 20th & U/S showed nothing, we even thought it was a false neg. He told me to come back on Sept 27th n there it was a Sac. HE didn t tell me how old I was at the time but based on my cal I guessing I m now around 6wks fetal age n 8 wks gestational but due to the time I had my period and when I had intercourse I didn t know it would have been possible to be preggo. How many days do u think I ovalated for with the Clostil and the fact I got preggo around those dates?? And is this even possible, I thought I would have only ovalated 14dys after LMP??? Please assist.

My 18 year old son is a professional motocross rider and had a nasty stack 10 days ago.  The hospital didnt pick up the fact that he had fractures when they did xrays but he later had a mri and it showed 3 fractured ribs and a he was told he had a bruised liver.  The bruise is apparently large.  While most do not understand an mx riders need to be back on the bike it is extremely important for him to be back racing as soon as possible and we have been told a time frame but have found some doctors tend to err on the side of caution and again while we want to do the right thing a we do want him back on the bike asap.  There is little information online in regards to impact injury and bruising to the liver so that is why I am asking other opinions on here.  Thanks

I have had this condition for about a year and a half now. It s a dull, gnawing and sometimes burning pain in my lower right side abdomen.

Friends say it might be linked to perimenopause and the ovaries shrinking . My mother had cancer of the cecum so obviously I am concerned about that too.

I take 30mg oxycodone three times a day,but they are now threatening me with dismissal due to the methadone reading in my UA. what are the FDA rules on pain medicines like mine. I cannot endure this stress for long and cannot deal with the thought of no way to reduce the pain. I am not an addict,nor have I ever been on unprescribed medicines.

Hi, I have Lymes disease. I was bitten by a monkey 18 months ago in a zoo in Honduras while on a cruise. Everyone else was taking photos with the monkeys so they handed it to me and it bit me.

I have diabetes, asthma, hypothyroid. My father had heart problems. I was having chest pressure that was not getting better with pain that I thought might be pleurisy. I went to the doctor and they gave me meloxicam which seems to have helped quite a bit. They sent me to a cardiologist just to make sure nothing was wrong with my heart since I am diabetic. I saw the cardiologist and from everything I told him he does not feel it is my heart. He wants me to have a echocardiogram and a stress echocardiogram to make sure everything is okay. Does this really need to be done at this point?

Glans Penis swollen after masturbation.After vigorous masturbation I noticed my glans penis was swollen on the sides.  There was painless large bumps that seemed pale or slightly yellow.  The rim was also swollen.  The swelling went away shortly after and everything seemed normal.  The same time I had attempted four times to ejaculate but did not.  Four days later I masturbate again and the swelling occurs once more but not nearly as bad.  I did have unprotected sex but no signs occurred until that night. I do plan on getting tested for STDs.  Is it possible the vigorous masturbation caused the swelling bumps?

I just turned 80 and suddenly my running times have worsened from an 11 minute mile to a 14 minute mile -my hips and legs are so tight that it s difficult to touch my toes as a warm-up and run more than one mile -- and most scary is that my shoulders and biceps have suddenly become so aching and tight that my usual 30 push-ups daily are so painful that I can barely do 20...

a week ago, I developed what I thought was an anxiety attack. I took a klonopin which didn;t help. about a half hour later I developed severe pain across my back. It felt like I was having a gall bladder attack. I went to the ER. they tested me for a pulmonary embolism, which was negative. they took an ekg which was negative. they kept me in the hospital overnight with iv fluids. over the following week, I had nausea, sore stomach (like somebody punched me), the back pain, some heart palpitations and wasnt able to get a full breath all the time over the next 6 days. then suddenly the 7th day, I was absolutely 100%. I had the h pylori test, which was negative. I had an ultrasound on the upper abdomen including the pancreas (they suspected pancreatitis) which the ultrasound showed everything normal. I am 59 and my gall bladder was removed when I was 21. after seeing the dr today, she palpated my stomach and found a very sore spot in my stomach. since then today, I had a cup of coffee and had all the same symptoms as the week after my initial problem. I should also add that the sore spot in the week following my initial onset was at the area just right of the breastbone, which I understand is about where the pancreas is. I was taking Lasix, which the doctor advised me to immediately discontinue and thinks that could have been the cause of my problems. Do you have any ideas?

Urinalysis - ok but culture showed e-coli. Put on macbid but got yeast infection. One diflucan - did nothing One week later one more diflucan. Nothing. I bought Monostat-3 per physicians suggestion. One dose and I felt normal, but broke out in hives all over my legs. She is calling in a 7 day Diflucan. Would you suggest I stick with the monistat-3 and hope reactions don t get worse or should I try the 7 day Diflucan

Hi when i was getting off the bus, about 4 days ago, i fell and twisted my ankle. Afterwards i couldn t walk on it and it got very swollen. Yesterday I went to the hospital for an x-ray and they said it was not broken. They didn t tell me anything else. My ankle is still very swollen, even though i have been icing it and taking ibuprofen as well as elevating it. It also tingles and feels stiff around my ankle and upper foot as well as black and blue in those areas. I cannot walk on it as it is stiff and hurts when i put pressure. My doctor said to come back in two weeks to see if there is a hairline fracture. I don t know what to do my dad says not to baby it and just walk but it hurts. What do you think?

can high uric acid cause hives? I have had gout in the past, but after ingesting some strawberries and chocolate about 3 months ago, I have been plagued with hives almost every day. I was wondering if there is some correlation between a rich diet , gout and hives. I am 53 years old, very, very active, I spin twice a week, walk and work out. But I notice that I have a greater amount of hives after working out. I have been tested for allergies, but nothing shows in the tests that are at a level that I have hives each day. I have been on prednisone and antibotics, but once I discontinue the prednisone, the hives come back. Any suggestions?


I have bumps behind my ears, hair line and middle of my chest. I have visited several hotels over the last week and the last place was a cabin that had a hot tub that we used.

I also had a sore throat but I had had that before the week long vacation and it just seemed to linger and get a little worse for a while. Was it bed bugs or the jacuzzi?

2 years ago I started to become more sensitive to cats dander and would start asthmatic bronchitis which would not go away so I had to take ketotifen for 2 months. I decided to start immunotherapy with cat and dog dander. Everytime after shot I had a reaction. On the 7th month of the theraphy I developed shortness of breath, tightness in chest, I started to react to everything (cooking fumes, people s odor and etc.). So I started to take Montelucast along with Ketotifen 2mg twice a day and stopped vaccination. 5 months later symptoms got even worse (still taking medication). Now I feel like very second I have to take a deep breath, feeling like there is no room to breath in. I had blood test done ( Vitamin D came out very low and IgA very high), also I had a chest X-ray done (Hyperinflation of the lungs). Now waiting for PFT to be done and referral to a pulmonologist ( which I cant see sooner than in 2 months, they are all booked. I wonder, what is going on with me? Is it empyzema, COPD or just asthma? Allergist prescribed Pulmicort (should I start taking it?) Allergist is not aware of x-ray results. thank you.

Groin soreness in both sides where groin meets crotch area, 1 side much worse than the other however. I have no recollection of pulling this during sport. Awoke up one day with very tight and sore groins, not all the way down my thigh however, just at the point where it meets the crotch area. I play football (Soccer) 3 times a week, the last time i played was boxing day, and the injury occurred 2 weeks before that. When i played boxing day it was still very sore, i have done absolutely no exercise since boxing day and it is showing no sign of improvement in the one side that was hurting more, the other side seems to have cooled down a bit. there is no inflammation, no bruising etc, just very sore. If i try and do a slow kicking motion, then it hurts, also if i push my knees outward and attempt to push back on it gently too add resistance, it also hurts at the point described. I have rested it, done slight stretches, and have had no sign of improvement. I am beginning to wonder if this is something more sever than a strain, although if this was the case, i surely would remember something happening to cause it. When i first woke up with the pain i hadn t even been playing sport for a few days before, so am at a loss for an explanation, i have had strains in my groin before which have eased after 1/2 weeks, however this feels a lot more raw.

Hi. I am a 22 year old female. Around the beginning of January I noticed between my fourth and fifth toe dry skin. I applied lotion and went about my day. A day or so later I noticed this big piece of dry skin on the pad of my foot under these two toes just hanging. I pulled it off and put triple antibiotic cream on. Then it proceeds to peel. Between the third and fourth toe it starts peeling. Under that forms a few brown blisters. Now. Where the large chunk of dry skin came off it looks/feels like blisters also brown. It used to itch and hurt extremely bad but Ive been not wearing socks. I applied tea tree oil. Keeping my feet extra clean and dry. I also have used lamisil on it. What is this? Why is my foot brown? I wish I could show a picture. It seems to be healing. It doesnt itch as much, but there is still some discomfort while standing or walking.
