Question 1

I've been getting these sharp, quick pains in my lower chest, kinda like a prick behind my rib near the chest area. I've gone through a whole bunch of tests like the treadmill test, ECG, coronary calcium scoring, and lots of blood tests for heart stuff. Also did an endoscopy and got tests on urine, serum, stool, and more blood work, but nothing's been pinpointed by the doctor yet. I'm on Telma 80mg after breakfast for my BP, which is 13590, and Pantocid 40mg on an empty stomach before breakfast. I've been taking these for two months, but the pain still comes and goes, though a bit less often after meals and pops up randomly through the day. Could you give me some guidance on what this might be or what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

-It sounds like youve undergone thorough testing, and it's good to know that nothing major has been detected. The pain you're experiencing could be related to acid reflux or muscle strain, especially since it's worse after eating. If the pain persists

Question 2

I'm really into my morning walks, and I've been gradually increasing my distance to about 22.5 kms. But lately, I've noticed I'm super exhausted by the time I get home, and sometimes I'm just drowsy all day. I've even caught myself dozing off during ...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing fatigue and drowsiness due to physical exertion. You may benefit from taking a supplement like Vitamin B12 to help boost your energy levels. I recommend taking a Vitamin B12 supplement with a dosage of 1000 mcg daily. Additionally, make sure you are staying hydrated before, during, and after your walk. If the symptoms persist, it would be a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Question 3

I'm 14 weeks pregnant and just got my Dual Marker test and Ultrasound done. I'm looking at the results, and I'm a bit confused. The Age Risk for Trisomy 21 says 1546, and it shows Screen negative at 124906. There's also Trisomy 18 with Screen negativ...

Accepted Answer

there is no cause for concern regarding the risk of Down syndrome or other chromosomal conditions in your baby.
The next step would likely be a routine follow-up ultrasound and continued monitoring throughout your pregnancy.
If you have further concerns or if your doctor feels it necessary, they might recommend more specific tests such as NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) or amniocentesis for more detailed risk assessment, but based on these results, that is generally not required.

Question 4

I've been dealing with this navel or belly button displacement for the last three days, and it's really painful. Can you tell me how to get rid of it quickly?

Accepted Answer

To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to reduce the pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the affected area to help relax the muscles and reduce discomfort. It is important to gently massage the area around the navel to try to reposition it back to its normal place. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

I'm 20 days postpartum after a normal delivery. My external stitches have dissolved, but the internal vaginal stitches haven't yet. How long does it typically take for these internal stitches to dissolve?

Accepted Answer

Typically, internal vaginal stitches from a normal delivery take around 4-6 weeks to dissolve, but can vary from 3-8 weeks; if you're concerned or experiencing discomfort, discharge, or other symptoms, consult your healthcare provider or obstetrician for a check-up and guidance.
