I m 18 (19 in 5 months), 3 9 , and about 72 pounds. I have Dwarfism, but no bad health in the past. I have however had a problem my whole life that s seemed to get worse. Whenever I visit with family, friends, and even my boyfriend now I feel sick. I used to visit with my grandparents for a week every summer when I was a kid and I would vomit every night for the first few nights and feel nervous and sick for the rest, but then vomit for a few nights also when I came back home. I d do the same whenever I have gone for sleepovers. It used to be just near night time this would happen, but more recently it s been happening during the day when I go to visit my boyfriend for the day. It get shaky, and can t eat anything. It s like there is something blocking my throat. Almost like a bubble. And my stomach tightens. It s really become a bother, it just seems to get worse, I ll get it at home sometimes too, or I ll wake up in the middle of the night and have what feels like really bad gas pains, be overheated, clammy with sweats, and diarrhea. It gets so bad I think I may be dying when it happens. I worry constantly about everything, and I have a high stress life. Maybe that has something to do with it, but I think I have anxiety disorder and depression. I just want some answers, I can t even go to someone s house, be social, or have any kind of relationships because I don t want to end up getting sick and them having to deal with it.

My dad fell about 10 days ago. He had alot of bruising and swelling. Hospital tests showed no breaks or blood clots( he is on blood thinner.) They told him to elevate it and use ice, but gave him no medicine. The bruising started going away, but he still has swelling and redness and the leg feels warm. He went back to the doctor on Monday. They told him to continue the elevation and ice, but still no medicine. When the swelling, redness and warmth of the leg had not improved, I took him back to the doctor yesterday. They called it cellulitis. They gave him a shot of antibiotics and a prescription for cephalexin (to start taking today). I have been measuring his leg in about the same spot everyday and it has been about 14 inches around at that spot (including this morning) I measured it about a half hour ago and it is now 14 and 3/4 in that spot.The redness has also increased. Do I need to take him back to the hospital or give the antibiotics more time? Thanks.

My husband was depressed after being exhausted by driving 3000 miles in 3 days. He went to the Dr and they prescribed Remeron. He attempted Suicide...and they increased the dosage of Remeron. He is 78. He was physically very active, fishing and camping and hiking before this happened. He was given Lorazepam with the remeron and He was having convulsions and dizziness. His depression has got increasingly worse. He wanted to quit the Remeron so I took him off cold turkey. He fell into a worse depression. Recently they prescribed Resperidal along with Paxil. He has been crawling on the floor..and dizzy and complaining of heart pounding. I am wondering if he should have taken any meds at all.

Hello, I received a dental bone graft (actually 2 side by side) during oral surgery to remove several impacted wisdom teeth first week of Nov. 2012. First week of Dec. 2012, I began having Orthostatic Hypotension issues (confirmed at clinic & ER). Could this be related to the oral surgery or graft?

Hashimoto s Hypothyroidism & just had labs for Endocrinology-all is well there.

My son has switched to a smokeless cigarette trying to quit.  I was unaware recently that he was smoking in the car I was riding in but suddenly had difficulty breathing.  My throat felt like it was closing up.  He immediately rolled his window down and turned the device off.  He said he had never seen anyone react to his cigarette in this manner.  After a brief time my breathing was normal and the constrictive feeling  in my throat disappeared.  Was this an allergic reaction?

I have swollen nasal membranes, pain in the right ear, face pain, pain from the front to the back of my head on the right side and mouth pain.  The pain at times feels as if I have a right ear infection but I do not.  The pain comes and goes and is a ten on the pain scale at times.  I do not have a sinus infection nor do I have any drainage.  I have excessive pressure to my head at times and am unable to lay my head down on a pillow.   I have seen several doctors and have been given various meds that do not work.  The last med that was given made the pain worse which is normally used for patients with seizures.  I am able to get some relief when I put ice on my face but it is temporary.  What is the medical name of the health condition that I have?

I am a 25 year old female.I have found a pea sized which is completely painless lump in my left armpit. Its right at the top of my armpit and feels hard and mobile. There is no redness or swelling, which concerns me as it leads me to think it isnt an infection. I do not currently have any form of viral infection and havent had one recently. I noticed the lump about 2 weeks ago.There is no real history of cancer in my family, but I am concerned that this could be lymphoma. I did go an see my doctor about this and he said it did not feel sinister and he thinks I should allow 6 weeks for it to potentially go down. He advised me to come back in again and see him if its still there. Although, I would like to trust my doctor, I really feel I should have some form of biopsy carried out. I have huge anxiety about this at the moment and feel like its preventing me from enjoying my life in the mean time.Please can you advise?

I m a 29 year old female nursing student with some sort of exercise induced SVT/PSVT syptoms. I was on a cardiac event monitor for 2 months. My heart had small episodes of PAC s, PVC,s and PACs with couplets but while wearing the monitor it never did the real thing . I m a musician, so I m familiar with rhythm and have counted my HR at 250-260 during one of these episodes if not higher.

One said is chronic urticaria, another said is due to food allergy, another said is hormone changes and cause my immune system to attack when ever I had ate something which will cause allergy.

The rashes will start with like mosquito bite and very itchy, and getting more and more after I scratch.  It will appear on the next or next two days after I ate the food which will cause my allergy.As advised by doctor, I had took a 10 day course of Aerius and Asthator.  The rashes came back 5 days after my course had ended.  Then, I took Loratadine for another 10 days.  Like previous, the rashes came back after 5 or 6 days after my course had ended.  I noticed that the allergy reaction and area affected become more serious each time I stopped.  Now, it even appear on my arms, waist, swollen on my lips, cheek, eye lids, neck.  My lips or eye lids will swollen 15-30 min later if I ate the food which will cause the allergy.Currently, I follow the advice from a doctor, not to completely stop eating food that will trigger the allergy to let my body to accept the food.  I will only take Loratadine if the rashes appear a lots.Pls advise what should I do to stop or cure this forever?

Hi Doctor,I had lockjaw on Saturday night. This was 5th time in last 5 yrs I had loackjaw. But this time it took about 5 hrs to come back to normal, that too after orthopedist actually fixed it by applying some pressure to cause required movement of my lower jaw to get it into right groove. Since, this time it was very hard and long trouble, I would like to know possible causes of this. Please not that I dont have any ailment/disease, except that I get allergy and infection in my throat very quickly and keep taking Mondeslor tablets and Foracort puff.Kindly advice on possible causes, ways to diagnose/narrow-down to real cause and any exercise/treatment which can fix it.  Thanks,Bhumeshwar


Hi, my mom had a stroke about 4 years ago and has gone through menopause.  She has limited mobility of her left side and spends most of her time in a wheelchair.  She is 63 years old, 5ft 5in, 190lbs (approx) and in the past year has started bleeding bright blood again with clots.  She says it is a dirty liver and went to the dr who referred her to a gyno.  She wont go. I just do not think it is a dirty liver but since her stroke she gets upset easily and you cant really talk to her.  What could be causing this and does a dirty liver make you bleed bright red?

Good afternoon. Ive had several years of painful cramps. I had adenomyosis and endometriosis. Ive had my right ovary removed in 2008. Then 2009, I had a supracervical hysterectomy, which was great. I started getting more cramping and I had my cervix removed in 2012. I still have my left ovary and continue to have bad cramps, as if I am on my period. At times, I have spot bleeding. Ive had UTIs with blood in the urine. The doctor will refer me to an urologist, but nothing comes up on a CT scan of my liver. Everything is ok. He thinks that maybe I should get my ovary removed. What do you think?


I had a ruptured appendix 7 weeks ago and had a laparotomy. Since then the site of my appendix still is tender I have had erratic bowel movements with mucous and have now got a hernia to left of scar. My main worry is a high abdominal pain that gets worse after eating. It is the same pain I had the week of my appendicitis and has lasted 6 days . My go assures me it is i b s but I would like another opinion. Why is it the same kind of pain? Am I going to get peritonitis from the remains of my appendi? Could the hernia be causing a pain so high up even thouhh it is left quadrant. Could it be acid even though I have no reflux? When will it stop? How long will my bowels suffer as a result of this op?


I am looking for a pain doctor. I am in severe pain and used to be on the 100mcg fentanyl patch along with oxycodone 15mg for breakthrough pain. The last doctor changed it to 30 mg ER morphine along with the 15 mg oxycodone. It isn t working well at all. I had a gastric bypass and I wonder if the extended release morphine leaves the stomach before it can be broken down and released. I was born with spina bifida and have lots of pain where the scar is from the closure site and I also have a tethered spinal cord which the doctors say I can t have it released because it would leave me paralyzed. It leaves me with only being able to try to manage the pain. can you online doctors prescribe fentanyl patches.

I get a sensation of pain directly in my left palm whenever I feel emotionally hurt, neglected, betrayed, misunderstood or not cared for by my boyfriend, whom i love dearly and who loves me dearly. I am being treated for major depressive disorder for the past 3.5 years and am also under treatment for lupus, but just borderline, for the past 1 year. The pain starts instantly as the emotion arises. it is focused around the thumb of the left hand and in the palm and not much in the fingers. at times, the right palm aches too. this has been happening for the last three years. my lupus doctor put me on pregabalin 75mg for this pain for 10months but it didnt help so we slowly tapered it and stopped. what could this be. strangely, it happens only in incidents involving my boyfriend.

I am a 57 year old female with Bipolar 2 A few  months ago my meds were lower because I was falling asleep as soon as I sat down even in conversation. I take Wellbutrin Lithium , Loranzapam, Serquel,andDepoqote and neurotin for migraines and more. Now 4 to 6 months later my lithhuim is450mg, Serquel 150 loranzapam is still at .5mg and has been for years, anyway my depression is too much and my doctor said raise lithium I said no because of double vision which went away when it was lowered. So he said up the serequel to 300mg or take Mirtazapine 30mg. I like d trilaphon which was changed to I erased it all. I am a 57 year old female with bipolar 2. I have been on Lithium ER 450mg at night which has been recently lowered from 1 at night, and one half in the morning.Wellbutrin 300mg,Ativan .5mg, Divalproex ER 500mg, Serquel was lowered from 300 to 150mg , Neurontin 800mg 3x a day. The lithium and serquel were lowered about 4 to6 months ago because I was falling asleep as soon as I sat down and even in conversations. I was also dealing with sleep apnea.

I  am scared of the Mirtazapine and feel like the serquel is better because it is an antipsychtic. I did really well on trilaphone but was switched to srequel because of side affects long lasting.  Dr. left it up to me.

Hello. Sorry bothering you, but I am concerned about the condition of my partner. He is having a constant headache the last 2 weeks. We went to doctor, who measured his blood pressure along with other checks. My friends blood pressure stayed constantly around 165/115. He was sent to do Chest X-Ray, blood test, urine test, ECG. Unfortunately it will take 2-3 weeks to get the results. Meanwhile he was prescribed to take Ramipril once a day. There are 5 days passed, and his headache is not disappearing. We are going later to the doctor to check the blood pressure again. I am so concerned that I dont know how long it will take my friend to get rid of this terrible headache. Could you tell me how long it takes for Ramipril to affect the high blood pressure to lower? Thank you very much!

Hello, Dr.I have always had this reaction against muscle relaxers or anti allergy meds. The soles of my feet become intolerably uneasy, to the point that I can feel it rising with every heartbeat. I usually have this as a reaction to one of the above mentioned type of meds, but its been happening often recently. Also, I was depressed for 5 years and have been on first Depex for a year and a half and then Zoloft for 6 weeks, which stopped(with my neurologists advice) about 2 and a half months ago. Please suggest what might be causing the uneasiness. Thanks


My grandson was born with a small natal crack above his natural one, the doctors say it was probably because the lower spinal area did not close over completely or something, but it was very minor and nothing to worry about. However, now he is 2, and that area is bleeding and sore right where that upper crack is. He also frequently gets yeast-type infections in the genital area and the skin around his penis is often red and raw looking. There is absolutely NO chance of any type of sexual abuse, this is strictly a diaper-issue. What is the best way to heal this, and should we be concerned?

Hello, Dr. Rynne, I ve been a type 2 diabetic since February 1999 and I m being treated for hypertension. Both conditions are presently well-controlled. On September 9 of this year, blood test revealed eGFR of 57, creatine 1.36, calcium 10.8. My physician told me I was mildly anemic (I told her that I had eaten any meat for 9 months) and she said she d test again in 3 months (end of November). She also said she suspected I was dehydrated and she directed me to resume eating meat and to report for biweekly B-12 shots. Blood test results taken during work-related physical on October 3 indicated eGFR of 54, creatine 1.36 (again) and calcium 10.8 (again). Showed second set of results to my physician who told me not to be too concerned and to await follow-up blood test scheduled for end of November. She doesn t believe I have CKD at this point and feels that the totality of my bloodwork doesn t justify this diagnosis. She stated that eGFR values can move up and down given many factors at time of testing. I have read that once eGFR diminishes, it cannot recover...Doctor, is it possible that I don t yet have kidney disease? And is it possible for eGFR to improve?

HiI am a 31 year old female considering going on the contraceptive pill.  I have most recently used the Merina coil which resulted in many negative side effects including acne on face and back (I had never has any skin issues before), serious lethargy, significant anxiety symptoms and massive fluid retention. Also raised prolactin levels.  I have given my body a years break and would like to go on a low dose pill that will not aggravate my acne as it is still an ongoing (but now more minor issue) and not cause fluid retention/appetite increase.  I have tried various pills in the past including cilest, microgynon, Mercilon and the contraceptive patch.I would be grateful for any advice you can offer.
