Question 1

toprol 25mg/day started 6/19.  systolic used to be "all over the place", but now generally between 133 and 148 averaging 140 but with occasional spikes up to 156.  should i tell the md now as opposed to next visit in 4 months?

Accepted Answer

Tell now: After 4 months your bp goal of 130/80 or less has not been reached. Unless you tend to have a fast heart rate, I don't regard beta blockers a good first line choice for bp treatment. If you have a tendency to rapid heart rates, the toprol dose can be increased for better bp control. Otherwise I feel more effective choices of medications can be made by your physician. Don't wait to discuss this wit

Question 2

i had friction burn on the head of my penis from aggressive  masturbation it never hurt or itched but the skin in the area became red and smooth and is taking a long time to go back to its original color its been months..?

Accepted Answer

: It sounds like the aggressive masturbation is causing skin irritation.  It would be best to avoid aggressive masturbation to allow the skin to heal naturally.

Question 3

age 16, weight around 45 to 50. every month menstruation start at 20 to 25th date. every month had horrible crumps and pain and i eat naproxen every month. i also vomit every month continued. like why vomit happen every month?

Accepted Answer

: What symptoms are described can be caused by endometriosis, a condition which causes pain, cramping and occasional nausea by scattering of endometrial cells into the abdomen, which bleed at the time of menstruation, causing the symptoms.  See your GYN physician and ask about low dose oral bcp's, recommended for treatment of endometriosis.

Question 4

lately i've been getting pains in my right eye, tightness in my eyebrow, headaches on the right side of my head, and dizziness during prolonged movement or twisting head motions. it's been occuring for a small bit over a month?

Accepted Answer

: Vertigo caused or aggravated by head motions are characteristic of an inner ear disorder. Eye pains and unilateral headache may be a migraine equivalent, but I recommend an evaluation by an ophthalmologist &amp; if no glaucoma or eye pathology, then a consultation by a neurologist is indicated. The positional dizziness and headaches will be addressed.

Question 5

how to lose 20kg in 4 months?

Accepted Answer

See Dr., try for 8kg: Helpful weight loss diets have natural foods that take time to chew but contain few calories. Examples include carrots, celery, and iceberg lettuce (little/no salad dressing). When shopping for fruits, buy small ones no bigger than a tennis ball, because fruits have sugar. Drinks without calories include water and green tea. A calorie is a calorie, but surely avoid sugar & simple starch calories.

Question 6

in which month must i be seeing the gyne?

Accepted Answer

Depends on doctor: The doctor or his office staff will explain when a visit is needed or is recommended. If the next visit is an annual exam, select the month one year from now, but 13-14 months from now should be ok. If to be seen in half a year, select the month 6-7 months from now. If a monthly recheck, the next appointment will be next month. As you see, it all depends on the details of each patient's case.

Question 7

is mothermilk is nutrutionless after 12 months?

Accepted Answer

No: Many children are breast fed for several years. Mother's milk remains healthy.

Question 8

i took busparone for a month then stopped.  should i have tapered?

Accepted Answer

Good idea to taper: While unlikely to be dangerous, it is recommended not to abruptly discontinue medications. Tapering in general will allow for your body to adjust as you come off of a medication. In some cases it can be very dangerous to acutely discontinue, but buspar/buspirone is not one of them. You generally have worse anxiety, mood symptoms, stomach upset, headache, and similar symptoms for a few days.

Question 9

signs of not ovulating a month?

Accepted Answer

No period: If a woman didn't ovulate, the period should not start on time.

Question 10

causes of gyancomastia in 6 months female?

Accepted Answer

Gynecomastia = over-: development of male breasts. Breast buds from maternal estrogen in newborn boys &amp; girls can persist till 6 months. Breast buds can also occur in both  from 6 months-3 years, more likely in girls. If serial measurements of  breast tissue shows shrinking/no increase  over 6 months &amp; no other signs of premature puberty exist, a baby girl has benign premature thelarche.
