Question 1

hi i'm currently on medication for my bp and my bp today is 95/66..is that normal ?

Accepted Answer

Contact your doctor: If you are feeling weak and dizzy upon standing up it could indeed be low. Contact your doctor for a dosing adjustment or perhaps investigating other potential causes. Also discuss the specific blood pressure targets with your doc.

Question 2

is it normal to still feel symptoms of hypothyrodism even if on medication?

Accepted Answer

No: If you're still symptomatic you should ask your doctor when it would be appropriate to recheck your thyroid tests.  Usually we check patients within 6-8 weeks of a dose change. You may need more medication, or, there may be a reason unrelated to hypothyroidism for your symptoms.

Question 3

was anorexic (now a normal weight), i now graze on food all day long, using food to calm me or zone out. any medications that could help solve this?

Accepted Answer

Congratulations: on managing your eating disorder!  Please do what your doc asks but you might be better served to learn some behavioral approaches.  See www.relaxationtresponse.org for one.  Peace and good health.  Others include clinical hypnosis and biofeedback.  See www.asch.net

Question 4

based on the sgpt result the it ranges 43 for me and 53 for my wife which above normal. what is your comment and medication? pls advise me what to do?

Accepted Answer

Do you drink?: Both of the SGPT levels are only minimally elevated. Do you take alcohol or is either of you on any medications. Either of these can explain the SGPT levels. If you do drink, abstain for three months and repeat the test. Discuss you medications with your doctor to see if one of those may be affecting your lab result.

Question 5

on medication for high blood, reading was 117-125/76-83 on my day off but it can shoot up to 135-143/85-93 on certain days. please advise is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Tell us about ur Med: We need to know more about your history: How long have you had High BP and which medicines/dose are you taking at the present time? Do you have a PCP checking you and guiding you about your BP  control and meds?
Your BP values are fairly good but you need to record your BP twice daily and write it down for the next 2 weeks and then tell us how many times was your BP  over 140 or over 90 mm.

Question 6

what would be considered normal pressure for an 87 year old man who is on medication?

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure: Depend on other risk factor or any cardiovascular disease, an optimal blood pressure is 130/80

Question 7

allergies, i get shots and i'm on two medications and never get allergies. what could be wrong with me? is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Question unclear: You say you never get allergies, but you are on shots and 2 medications. What shots? Are they allergen desensitization (allergy shots)?
Could it be that your symptoms disappeared because of  your treatment? Your question is not quite clear.

Question 8

had anal fislotomy on 6th march. wound has healed up but feeling itching since 2 days. is it normal. should i take any medications?

Accepted Answer

Pruritus ani: It has a name but may require casting around for a cure.  Try meticulous hygiene with wet wipes, even between movements.  Cortisone creams may help. After that see a dermatologist or a knowledgable FP. It could be just the result of healing and require time.

Question 9

i'm on chantix, is it normal to have sex dreams on this medication?

Accepted Answer

Dreams/side effect: "abnormal dreams" is a known Chantix side effect. "abnormal" here means unusual for that person, not necessarily abnormal in the sense of being pathological. Increased dreaming, unusually vivid dreams, or nightmares are sometimes annoying enough that people stop chantix. It can also cause or exacerbate depressive symptoms. As with any drug, one has to balance the risks and the benefits.

Accepted Answer

Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.
