I've had grade I carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand for two years, and the pain keeps getting worse. Some doctors are recommending surgery, but I'm worried is the procedure safe? Will my hand lose strength after the operation? What are the possible risks or side effects? And where's the best place to get it done?

I'm experiencing this weird falling sensation while walking, and it's been going on for about three years now. Along with this, I feel severe anxiety, panic, and stomach discomfort, and I often get dizzy and a bit giddy. Sometimes it even feels like someone is pushing my head forward. It's really gotten to the point where I'm scared to go anywhere because of how uncomfortable all of this is. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on and how I can get rid of these feelings?

Understanding Your Diagnosis_ 1. _Grade II hiatus hernia_: A moderate-sized hernia where part of the stomach bulges through the diaphragm. 2. _Prolapsing gastropathy_: The stomach lining is damaged due to the hernia. 3. _Antral gastritis_: Inflammation of the stomach lining, specifically in the antrum region. _Symptoms and Risks_ 1. _Heartburn_: Common in hiatus hernia patients. 2. _Coffee ground vomit_: This could indicate bleeding in the stomach or esophagus, which requires medical attention. 3. _Weight gain and BMI_: A BMI of 19.0 is considered underweight. Gaining weight in a healthy manner is essential. _Surgery Considerations_ 1. _Symptomatic relief_: If symptoms persist or worsen, surgery might be necessary to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications. 2. _Complications_: Untreated hiatus hernias can lead to issues like severe bleeding, obstruction, or respiratory problems. _Gym Workout and Weight Gain_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Before starting any exercise program, discuss your plans with your doctor to ensure it's safe and suitable for your condition. 2. _Avoid heavy lifting_: High-impact exercises or heavy lifting can exacerbate the hernia. 3. _Focus on low-impact exercises_: Opt for low-impact activities like yoga, swimming, or cycling, which can help with weight gain and overall fitness. 4. _Healthy weight gain_: Focus on consuming a balanced diet with adequate protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates to support weight gain.

I'm 26 and I've been dealing with some health issues that have me worried. My blood pressure has been pretty highranging from 175110 to 15589and I've got this persistent headache on the upper part of my head, around the skull area. Even though my lipid profile came back normal, the Venogram MRI showed hypoplastic left transverse and sigmoid sinuses. I'm currently on medication just for the high BP because my doctor is out of town and I'm not sure what my next steps should be. Could my headache be connected to the high blood pressure somehow?

Ovulation typically occurs 24-36 hours after an HCG trigger shot. However, some women may ovulate earlier, within 12-24 hours. Given your symptoms and the timing of the HCG shot, it's possible that you may have ovulated earlier than expected. To maximize the chances of successful IUI, consider the following options: 1. Proceed with IUI as scheduled, as the timing may still be optimal. 2. Inform your doctor about the early ovulation symptoms, and they may adjust the IUI timing or recommend additional interventions.

Can I take melatonin to help me sleep if I'm already prescribed a 25 mg amitriptyline pill daily to reduce my headache frequency? I'm just worried if there's any interaction or issues mixing the two.

Melatonin and amitryptiline has a potential for interaction so it should be used very carefully as they both increase sedation and drowsiness. The medications should not be had unless directed by your treating doctor. If you develop any problem visit the ER at the earliest.
