I have had a terribly painful lump on the side underneath my right knee and have been told its not a bakers cysts. i have a bone scan and MRi and nothing seems to show anything but I know 100% there IS something there--I wear ice packs all day to relieve pain. Should I see an oncologist to test it? I asm running out of doctors to see and options other than a pain management doctor but I will still not have an answer to what it is. Thank you very much

My 16 year old son is often sick, has spent most of the holidays asleep, has few friends and we wonder if has depression. Last Nov he injured his knee playing basketball. This required a total knee reconstruction and a year off sport. He used to play a lot of basketball and rugby. He has hardly been eating also which is why I think he is know down with a cold.

Hello! I read your question and understand your concern. I think that there is nothing to worry about. All the symptoms you describe are common symptoms of anxiety. A chronic anemia can Be the cause of fatigue. I would like to know if you have ever measured your blood pressure because a low blood pressure can also cause dizziness that improves in lying position. I would recommend you to have a full blood work for anemia and thyroid function tests. If everything normal it is just anxiety. Hope to have been of help! Greetings!

My husband says when he gets up in the morning he has a pain in his back where his left lung could be. after he starts walking around it goes away. this is every morning. He is a pack a day smoker, and feels he has a problem maybe with his left lung. have you heard of this?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Left sided chest pain in smoker is mostly due to heart or lung diseases. Heart diseases like coronary artery disease (CAD) and lung related diseases like bronchitis are common interest smokers and cause left sided chest pain. So better to consult doctor and get done 1. ECG, 2d echo and stress test to rule out CAD. 2. Chest x-ray and PFT (pulmonary function test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. In any case, he should stop smoking as soon as possible. He may need cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.

From what source can Vitamin D2 be obtained?
|
Vitamin D2 can be obtained from plants. Specifically, Vitamin D2 is synthesized by plants when they are exposed to ultraviolet light, and it can be found in some types of mushrooms. Vitamin D2 can also be obtained through fortified foods such as cereals and plant-based milks. However, the body may not absorb Vitamin D2 as efficiently as it does Vitamin D3, which is primarily obtained through exposure to sunlight or consumption of animal-based products such as fatty fish, egg yolks, and liver.

I have a swollen, itchy area inside my right bicep. It is red and very warm to the touch. It started yesterday as a mild itch and progressed today. It is now about 5 inches across. Recently (over the last two months)I have experienced ramdom swellings in my feet, hands mouth/lips. These episodes rarely last more than two days and then I return to normal. I cant figure out what triggers it. My Dr. has me keeping a diary because hes stumped too.

I am having back ache for a long time. I did MRI..and it shows acute Sacroillitis. And i have a positive HLAB27. The pain is strong generally at the night. I also suffer from tight hamstring. The doc has said to do some physiotherapy. What is the complete cure for it? Am i suffering from AS? Can i play and enjoy my sports?
|
Thanks for the question. As per your physical examination, doctor may have prescribed physiotherapy as a mainstay of treatment, however, if pain severe at night, you may be advised anti-inflammatory medicine and /or cortisone orally or local infiltration into joint depending on severity-its your doctors decision with and after complete evaluation. HLAB27 may indicate ankylosing spondylitis for which cortisone and anti-inflammatory medicines are given on acute exacerbations of pain Best wishes

hello dr, i m 22 years old . i have 1 year baby. i have under eye darkness and black heads on both side of nose. these problems occured after my delivery. what to do dr ? i losed my color also. what kind of foods I have to taken ?
|
Hi! Madheena, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum, Dark circles are multifactorial....stress is the most common reason(as in your case it is after delivery)...iron deficiency, vitamin def can also lead to it.even lack of sleep is an important reason. Sunlight can aggravate your problem.so start with a good sunscreen daily. As far as black heads are concerned you can use retinoid cream 0.025% locally at night (apply very little.only if you are not feeding the child) .use this cream every alternate nights...and use a sunscreen at daytime. This would gradually take away your black heads. Take care, Chat Doctor.

Dear Doctor, My wife 29 yr. old having Sternum pain last one year, we made X-ray, ECG, tracemill test. but she found OK. but pain not going, now 2 months she start sneezing frequently. more worse is in the morning and after shower. She had mild headache also. Please advise.
|
Thank you for writing to Chat Doctor. I think that you have chest pain. There are a few possible causes of chest pain but the one to be most worried about is related to heart related chest pain. Since the ECG did come back negative, I would recommend that you get a Stress ECG done or a treadmill test done. This will help you get to the cause. If that is negative, I would think that you have a chest or lung infection. We will need to follow up to confirm this. Hope this helps you.

Im 18 years old.. answer me asap plz

Hi, please do not worry. Semen is usually near the consistency of what you mentioned. Probably, you have thick dense semen. It could be possible due to blockade of seminal vesicles as they are unable to empty their secretions into the urethra. How often do you masturbate? Please get a Semen analysis test done, and it will let us know what is the problem. This way your doubts will also be cleared. Share the report with us or see your Doctor or a Urologist for the same.

Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor . I read your question and understood your concern. I think you can lose weight with diet and instead of walking I suggest you to do stationary bike and swimming or other sport in sitting position and not stranding position like you are doing in walking. So, by avoiding weight bearing, your knees will heart less while you train. See a dietician to change you diet.

hurt rib 2wks ago, still hrts a little with deep inhales and exhales but now what concerns me is that I feel lumps on that side kinda like a dent should I be concerned I read that it takes 2-6wks to recover, I also feel a clicking feeling and I got the bruise by falling hard on my ribs the left side
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should first get done chest x-ray to rule out following things.1. Rib fractures2. Pulmonary contusions3. Pneumothorax4. Muscular injury. As blunt chest trauma commonly causes above things. And pain on inhalation and cracking sound can be heard in all. So we need to rule out all these by chest x-ray. If x-ray is normal than mostly you are having muscular injury. Better to follow these steps to get relief.1. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 2. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise. 3. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant. 4. Apply warm water pad on affected site. 5. Wear chest belt to avoid mobilization of affected area.

From your description it appears to me that your son is having depression. How many days have he been such? Need to keep an eye on him and ask him to express his problems either study related or any other matter. Support helps a lot. Suicide risk needs to be assessed. All these can only be done by visiting a psychiatrist. Motivate him to visit soon. Decision can only be taken to start antidepressants by a psychiatrist. Thanks

My 16 year-old daughter, Natalie, is a soccer player. She is very sensitive to heat; experiences rising bdy temp, sweating and headaches. She has occasional chest pain and palpitations. Was given an EKG three years ago - normal. She has exercise induced asthma and takes Cingular and Albuterol which control it well. Her family doctor does not seem particularly concerned as she has had these symptoms for years and is otherwise very healthy. Can asthma and/or its treatment produce some or all of these symptoms? Would you recommend another EKG? or any other diagnostic exam?Many thanks,Natalies dad

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor, most common symptom of asthma is dyspnea means shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing,Still, not every person with asthma has the same symptoms in the same way. You may not have all of these symptoms, or you may have different symptoms at different times. Your asthma symptoms may also vary from one asthma attack to the next, being mild during one and severe during another. Thank you

How does Lindane, an anti-scabies/louse therapy, work to treat scabies and lice infestations?
|
Lindane works by inhibiting the GABA-A channel in scabies and lice. This channel is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses in these parasites, and by blocking it, Lindane is able to paralyze and kill the scabies and lice. However, Lindane is a potentially toxic medication and is not recommended as a first-line treatment due to its potential side effects. Other treatments, such as permethrin or malathion, may be safer and more effective options for treating scabies and lice infestations.

|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Coughing, expectoration, lower back pain etc. are suggestive of lung infection (pneumonia) more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest pain x-ray. If chest x-ray is suggestive of infiltration then pneumonia is confirmed. You may need antibiotics, bucolic and expectorant Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. It can be both, and it is hard to say is it malignant or benign. Good news are that such peripheral lesions even if do malignant have better prognosis then those in the middle of lungs. There is possibility that it can be completely resected. So she needs to do more detailed tests first and then plan further treatment. Wish you good health. Regards

I read your query and I understand your concern. As you can read on the report that protrusion is considered of questionable clinical significance, meaning it's not causing your symptoms and is a coincidental finding. Since it causes no compression there is no need for invasive management like surgery. So your management (for I guess back pain) is conservative, with physical therapy and analgesics. Usually improvement is a gradual one, doesn't occur overnight. I hope to have been of help.

For the last month and a half I have been having a sensation of pressure in the centre of my chest, sometimes with the feeling of my heart beat, but mostly just the chest pressure. It happens when I am walking, standing, sometimes sitting. It is most frequent in the afternoon and evening. At first it would just be for a moment, but now is lasting for half an hour or longer. I am not particularly anxious about anything when this happens; do you think it is low blood pressure?
|
Hi, Chest pressure and heaviness in the chest may be due to infection or arrhythmia or episodic asthma or myocardial infarction etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get it done ECG, echocardiography, hemoglobin and serum electrolytes. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. There are many possibilities for vaginal bleeding. You may have tumor spread in uterus or high tendency of bleeding due to cancer. You may have severe thrombocytopenia which leads to life-threatening bleeding.

Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor After going through your query I concluded that you are having breathlessness. To investigate for the cause of breathlessness you should get your heart function test and lung function test including chest x-ray AP view. Analgesic such as ibuprofen can be of use to relieve pain. Cetirizine will be useful in allergy. Vitamin B and C help in recovery. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.

Yes what does the following mean? A tubular airspace opacity measuring 2.0 x 1.0 cm in the inferior right upper lobe corresponding to the chest x-ray abnormality. The appearance is suggestive of postinfectious or postinflammatory etiology, however given persistence since October 2017, other process cannot be excluded.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. I have gone through the x-ray report you have mentioned. This report clearly suggestive of tubular opacity in right lower lobe. This opacity is persistent since October 2017. So possibility of fibrotic lesion due to previous lung infection (tuberculosis or pneumonia) is more likely. In my opinion, you should get done CT thorax because CT is more informative than chest x-ray. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi, I have a scary issue. About 3 hrs ago I drank alot of orange juice. About 10 -15 minutrs later my lower left stomach started to pulsate. I have slight gas, no cramps or pain. Had a bowel movement. Its annoying and makes me concerned. What can be the cause? My urine is clear.
|
HI and thanks for the query, It might be of importance to ascertain that you do not have pulsation after consuming other foods or juice. It is but normal that after an eating exercise, the heart rate increases and could be perceived as pulses. The only serious cause of abdominal pulsations is a dissection of the aorta, which is associated with serious pain, not seen with you. An aneurysm of the abdominal aorta should be checked out for.

My relative has been diagnosed with AML type M2. Under this condition, her wbc count was initially 28,000. It went up to 37,000. With initial treatment platelet and mild chemotherapy, the count has come down to 0000. Does this show an improvement of her condition, leading to hopes of cure ?
|
Hi.WBC count Chat Doctor. But it doesn't mean that the patient is cured. Chemotherapy has to be continued until the bone marrow shows complete response to treatment, also after that maintenance course has to be taken to prevent relapse. If there is no relapse within 2 yrs after stopping the treatment, then you can have hope of cure. Meanwhile you should take good care while on chemotherapy, as they are more prone for infections. All the best.

About three weeks ago I started getting pains in both wrists, my thumbs and one elbow. More recently there has been a swelling on wrists and hands. Most mornings I find it difficult to do anything requiring strength with hands or wrists and rather painful. This wears off to some extent as the day progresses. I am a male aged 75 years, very fit and not overweight. I have high blood pressure controlled by medication, Haemochromatosis controlled by periodic venisection and Dupuytren s Conractures. Could this be anything other than arthritis? For example RSI due to computer use and frequent cycling with multiple gear changes engaging thumbs or accumulation of iron in the joints due to haemochromatosis? Many thanks

For over 6 weeks Ive been having a traveling tingling through my skull accompanied with throbbing pain. It even sends chills through me. The skull continues to hurts until I take 2 Excedrin Migraine pills and lay down. I went to a Neurologist and he eliminated the Excedrin and replaced it with Gabapentin 300 MG -1 at bedtime. Tonight will be my second pill, Im hoping Ill feel a good effect soon. Please advise. Edna Beauchamp
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The tingling sensation you describe may be related to neuralgia which is pain in one of the nerves due to abnormal structure or function of the nerve. The fact that the neurologist gave you gabapentin also indicates that he or she may think it is related to neuralgia. Gabapentin is an anti-epileptic but is commonly also used for neuralgia. It is considered to be effective and should provide you with some pain relief. There are other options if it does not work for you that can also be tried. I hope this helps

Just recently yesterday morning i noticed a slight bump on my penis close to my pelvis and was concerned that it was something serious. i first noticed it when it bled slightly, but after that it just remained a little swollen and had a small entrance mark resembling a cut. Up until now the swelling has gone down a little, i wasnt sure if it was a bug bite or maybe something more serious, what are your thoughts on this?
|
Hi, it sounds strange. Did you suffer any trauma to the area or any sexual encounter in the recent past? These things could explain why it happened. Other than that it would be difficult for me to say, specially without examining you. You could observe it or better would be to show it to a Surgeon who can examine you and suggest accordingly. It is probably nothing serious, but it would be better to be sure and get it out of your mind by seeing a Professional. Take care, Chat Doctor.

I had an echocardiogram, nuclear ultrasound and angiogram all within last 2 months, tests were within normal range but am still getting symptoms of chest pain/pressure, sob, mostly when walking too much or climbing stairs, and feet swell and throb after walking a short time. Why???
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. No need to worry about heart diseases for your symptoms as your cardiac tests are normal. Similar symptoms are also seen in bronchitis (inflammation of airways). So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid(ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

How does somatostatin affect insulin and glucagon secretion?
|
Somatostatin decreases insulin and glucagon secretion. Somatostatin is a hormone that is produced by the delta cells in the pancreas and acts to inhibit the secretion of other hormones, including insulin and glucagon. Insulin is produced by the beta cells and acts to lower blood glucose levels, while glucagon is produced by the alpha cells and acts to raise blood glucose levels. Somatostatin inhibits the secretion of both of these hormones, leading to a decrease in insulin and glucagon secretion. This can help to maintain blood glucose levels within a normal range. Somatostatin is also produced by other organs in the body and has a variety of other functions, including the inhibition of growth hormone secretion and the regulation of gastrointestinal motility.

What is the typical course of primary HSV infection?
|
Primary HSV infection typically resolves spontaneously within a week of lesion development. HSV, or herpes simplex virus, is a common viral infection that can cause painful blisters or sores on or around the mouth, genitals, or anus. Primary infection occurs when a person is first exposed to the virus, and can be more severe than recurrent infections. Symptoms may include fever, headache, muscle aches, and swollen lymph nodes, in addition to the characteristic lesions. While there is no cure for HSV, antiviral medications can help to reduce the severity and duration of symptoms, and may also help to prevent recurrent outbreaks.

Hi, I think you can ovulate without periods, but it is rare. So, you will need some medicines for ovulation. You can take some medicines like camphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your partner 2 to 3 days after injection. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor.

What is the definition of afterload, and what is an overview of its function?
|
In cardiac physiology, afterload is used to mean the tension produced by a chamber of the heart in order to contract. If the chamber is not mentioned, it is usually assumed to be the left ventricle. However, the strict definition of the term relates to the properties of a single cardiac myocyte. It is therefore only of direct relevance in the laboratory; in the clinic, the term end-systolic pressure is usually more appropriate, although not equivalent.
Afterload can also be described as the pressure that the chamber of the heart has to generate in order to eject blood out of the chamber. Everything else held equal, as afterload increases, cardiac output decreases.
In the case of the left ventricle, the afterload is a consequence of the blood pressure, since the pressure in the ventricle must be greater than the peripheral blood pressure in order to open the aortic valve.

In what context is clozapine considered an appropriate treatment option for schizophrenia?
|
Clozapine is considered an appropriate treatment option for refractory schizophrenia, which is a form of the disorder that does not respond well to other medications. In general, clozapine is only used after other antipsychotic medications have been tried and failed to adequately control symptoms. This is because clozapine is associated with a higher risk of certain side effects, such as agranulocytosis (a potentially life-threatening condition in which the body's immune system is suppressed), as well as other potential complications such as seizures and myocarditis. However, for individuals with refractory schizophrenia, clozapine has been shown to be highly effective in reducing symptoms and improving overall quality of life. It is typically prescribed under close medical supervision, with regular blood tests to monitor for potential side effects.

I have had a rash on my feet for almost 4 weeks now. It started as a severely itchy rash on my left foot with raised bumps. Those bumps then turned into raised welt-type bumps. The skin became very tight and waxy and still remained extremely itchy. However, it didn t seem to spread. Then, after a week or two it began on my right foot as well. And then, it moved to my big toe on both feet. Now I have several very itchy spots on both feet and the original site of the rash is super tough and waxy skin that now has a white crusting on it.

Hello! Thank you for the query. Armpit is where lymph nodes are located. So any lump in this location should be checked with possible enlarged lymph node.

Pain indicates such lump. Abscess should be incised and Chat Doctor. In case of lymph nodes enlargement possibility ultrasound should be done and biopsy considered. Hope this will help. Regards.

What are the treatment options for lice or scabies, and how are they managed?

Lice or scabies treatment is managed with topical permethrin or oral ivermectin. These are medications that are used to kill the parasites that cause lice or scabies infestations. Permethrin is a topical cream that is applied to the skin and left on for a certain amount of time before being washed off. Ivermectin is an oral medication that is taken once, and it works by disrupting the nervous system of the parasites. Both permethrin and ivermectin are effective treatments for lice or scabies, but they may be prescribed differently depending on the severity of the infestation and the patient's medical history. It is important to follow the instructions of the healthcare provider and complete the full course of treatment to ensure that the infestation is fully eradicated.

Hello, No, usually blockage of urinary track anywhere beyond kidneys can cause back pressure on kidneys leading to renal parenchymal damage.

Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor.I have gone through your available history. In psychological cause of urinary incontinence, it happens only during stress or occasionally. If she has persistent symptoms, it is advisable to go for aerodynamic study to rule out urinary tract pathology. You can consult good urologist for the same. Pelvic floor exercises like keel, can be of some help. I don't think TB lymph node can be a cause of urinary incontinence.thanks. I hope she will be fine soon

High altitudes indirectly cause the O2-hemoglobin dissociation curve to shift to the right. This means that at any given partial pressure of oxygen, the hemoglobin will have a lower affinity for oxygen, making it easier for oxygen to be released to the tissues. This shift is thought to be an adaptive response to the lower partial pressure of oxygen at high altitudes, which allows for more efficient oxygen delivery to the tissues. The shift is caused by an increase in acidity and levels of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) in the blood, which are both associated with decreased oxygen affinity of hemoglobin. Other factors that can cause the O2-hemoglobin dissociation curve to shift include changes in temperature, pH, and carbon dioxide levels.

Hi my 15 month old who is a premiee 13 month corrected won t stop crying more of a whinny cry but running a temp 100.3, coughing and when she coughs she starts to cry maybe possibly her throat hurts looks like top molars are cutting also doesn t want to eat or drink I have given her tylenol which has brought down the temperature not sure what else to do she won t stop crying
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am a pediatrician and am glad to help. It is possible that by doing much coughing this is making her throat sore. Although a temperature of 100.3 is not a high fever, Tylenol will not only reduce her fever, but it will also help to relieve throat pain. If she is doing her usual activities-walking, running, acts like she knows who you are, and is not vomiting or deny Chat Doctor. But you must see that she doesn't become deny

Hi, I just recently lost my son while I was 23 weeks pregnant. I hadn t felt him move so I went to the doctor and found out there was no heartbeat. When he was born he looked absolutely perfect. What s even more upsetting is that I was in to see a specialist 3 weeks earlier and they said according to the u/s that he was a very healthy little boy. How and why is my son gone 3 weeks later?
|
Hello, I am so sorry. Please accept my sympathy for your loss. There can be infections, birth defects, complications of pregnancy such as high blood pressure. Mom can be a smoker, alcohol, overweight, African-American, have diabetes. Many times the cause of a stillbirth infant is unknown. Most women become pregnant again, have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. You may wish to contact a group of other women who have also lost a baby. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

What are the characteristics of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia on an ECG?
|
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is characterized by narrow QRS complexes with absent P waves on an ECG. This is a type of abnormal heart rhythm that originates from the upper chambers of the heart, or the atria, and causes a rapid and irregular heartbeat. The absence of P waves on the ECG suggests that the electrical impulses that normally originate in the sinoatrial node, which is the natural pacemaker of the heart, are being blocked or overridden by abnormal electrical signals from other parts of the atria. This can lead to a variety of symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness. Treatment for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia may involve medications to slow down the heart rate, procedures such as catheter ablation to destroy the abnormal tissue causing the arrhythmia, or in some cases, implantation of a pacemaker or defibrillator.

My lower right abdomen hurts but not so bad I need to go to the hospital and I took gas-x just in case it may be gas and it did not help. I then tested McBurney s point and it hurt after I pressed that for a couple minutes very badly. But I am also experiencing pain on my lower left abdomen as well. Do you think I should go to a doctor or the hospital?
|
Hi.IT is good that you have a great understanding. Pain in both the sides of the lower abdomen is suggestive of colitis. Get investigations done. This may be a part of IBS. Get a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and antispasmodic tablets along with probiotics, multivitamins. You will start feeling alright the same day, and should be totally alright by 5th day. If the problem persists, you have to get colonoscopy and other investigations done under the care of a Gastroenterologist.

I had diarrhoea 2 weeks ago, for the whole week along with stomach pains indicating that i needed to \"go\". Last week there was no sign of diarrhoea. My diarrhoea started acting up again yesterday after i ate taco bell. Now (today) i have severe stomach pains and the urge to go, but i am not able to go. I am also very gassy. It seems that about an hour or so after i eat a meal i start to feel sick and feel the need to go.
|
HI Thanks for posting your query. It seems like you are having Indigestion due to eating of Taco Bell. You need to avoid very oily food and non veg food for at least 10 days. Also eat more of Citrus fruits which accelerate the digestion and give relief from your symptoms. If symptoms persists ask your doctor for a prescription of digestive enzymes like Aristotle and use it, you will be alright. Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarification feel free to ask.

What is the medical term for intermittent muscle pain that is reproducibly caused by exercise and relieved by a brief period of rest?
|
The medical term for intermittent muscle pain that is reproducibly caused by exercise and relieved by a brief period of rest is (intermittent) claudication. This condition is commonly associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD), which is a narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the legs. The reduced blood flow to the muscles during exercise can cause pain, cramping, or fatigue in the affected area. Resting for a few minutes allows the muscles to recover and the pain to subside. If you are experiencing symptoms of claudication, it is important to see a healthcare provider for evaluation and treatment.

Q:An investigator is studying the modification of newly formed polypeptides in plated eukaryotic cells. After the polypeptides are released from the ribosome, a chemically-tagged protein attaches covalently to lysine residues on the polypeptide chain, forming a modified polypeptide. When a barrel-shaped complex is added to the cytoplasm, the modified polypeptide lyses, resulting in individual amino acids and the chemically-tagged proteins. Which of the following post-translational modifications has most likely occurred??
{'A': 'Acylation', 'B': 'Glycosylation', 'C': 'Phosphorylation', 'D': 'Carboxylation', 'E': 'Ubiquitination'},
|
E: Ubiquitination

While at rest, just sitting on my couch working on my homework, I felt my heart start beating very hard and vast for a few seconds. My chest inside felt hot, or warm during this time. It seemed like my heart perhaps skipped a beat or the beats were overlapping. It was enough for me to be stunned, I grabbed my chest... my heart rate back to normal, but I notice my lips feel kind of tingly. I know it was not a panic attack as I have had those and this was different. I was diagnosed with a heart murmur when I was an infant but grew out of it by the age of 8.
|
Hey, Arrhythmias can be a cause of palpitations and irregular heart beat. First you need a baseline ECG and 2D Echo. ECG should preferably be taken at time of palpitations. If the ECG does not reveal any abnormality than you need a 24 hr ECG monitoring which is called Holder Monitoring. Arrhythmias in a patient with heart murder is very common. So I strongly recommend you for these tests. Chat Doctor.

how do i know if i should test for leukemia? my grandpa might have it and i was curious as to what the symptons were. so far i have all of the symptomsl; anemia, bone and joint pain, abdominal distress, swollen lymph nodes, and difficulty breathing.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Leukemia can be hereditary. And you're all symptoms like anemia, joint pain, bone pain, swollen lymph node, breathing difficulty, abdominal pain etc. are seen in leukemia. You are also having positive family history for leukemia. So better to consult oncologist and get done lymph node biopsy and bone marrow biopsy for the diagnosis of leukemia. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi, I m pretty sure I broke my baby toe last night, it s completely purple and swollen.. My baby toe use to be very close to the toe next to it, almost laying on top of it but now there is a space between them and I can t move it, the pain is horrible, shooting up my leg at times and then other times it feels nume... What do you think??
|
Your symptoms suggest that you have sever soft tissue injury over toe. Icing, anti-inflammatory analgesic such as diclofenac, limb elevation over pillow and rest will decrease pain. Strapping of injured toe with adjacent toe will give support to its tissue injury. If swelling persists for more than seven days than visit to your orthopedic and get a X-ray of injured toe. Hope this helps. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
