I'm a 31-year-old woman, and lately, I've noticed some weird bruising showing up on my upper thighs. They're like a light brown color, and they go away in about a week or so, but then new ones pop up. There's also a small bruise on my left breast where my bra underwire hits, and its been there for more than two weeks now. What's weird is none of these bruises hurt. Oh, and just this past week, I've started having knee pain on my left leg too. My family doesn't have a history of diabetes or thyroid issues, and Ive never been hospitalized before. What do you think could be going on?

Passing out (syncope) after a tooth extraction is not uncommon, but it's not entirely normal either. Here are some possible reasons why it might have happened:

Possible Causes

Blood loss and dehydration: Although tooth extraction is a relatively minor procedure, some blood loss and dehydration can occur. This might lead to a temporary drop in blood pressure, causing dizziness or fainting.

Pain and stress: The physical and emotional stress of the procedure can cause a vasovagal response, leading to a sudden drop in blood pressure and heart rate, resulting in fainting.

Anesthesia and sedation: If you received local anesthesia or sedation during the procedure, it might have contributed to dizziness or fainting.

Underlying medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as low blood pressure, anemia, or heart conditions, can increase the risk of fainting.

What to Do Now

Rest and hydration: Rest and drink plenty of water to replenish lost fluids.

Monitor your condition: Keep an eye on your temperature, blood pressure, and overall well-being. If you experience severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe bleeding, seek immediate medical attention.

Follow up with your dentist: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your dentist to ensure the extraction site is healing properly and to discuss any concerns you may have.

Remember, while fainting after a tooth extraction is not uncommon, it's essential to monitor your condition and seek medical attention if you experience any severe symptoms.

I'm really concerned because I've had swollen lymph nodes in areas like my thigh, elbow, and back since 2008. It's been so long and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take?

Hello, its important to have a thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider to determine the cause of the persistent lymph nodes since 2008. Chronic lymphadenopathy can sometimes be benign, but it may also indicate an underlying condition that requires further investigation. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical examination and possibly some tests to understand the situation better.
