Not a bruise: Anything that has been around for a year is not a bruise it would be unusual for an hemamgioma to.appear and.grow that fast  see a dermatologist do tou have "bruising"'anywhere.else?

Question 3

are visible blue veins on chest serious? i noticed it about a week ago, i looked back at pictures and noticed the vein has been visable for over a year, i am now.fixated on it and worried it's superior vena cava syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Quite rare.: You are very tuned in, to understand the SVC syndrome is a possibility, although rare.  It merits a visit to a cardiologist who can take a careful history, perform a physical exam and arrange appropriate studies including an EKG, chest X-rays and an echocardiogram to search for an answer as to the cause of prominent veins.

Question 4

a 35kg dumbbell fell on my chest while i am lying down.i have pain in my right ribs without fracture based on x-ray picture. what do i suffer from?

Accepted Answer

Dumbell: Most likely you stretched some muscles and cartildges and have pain from that. Should get better with time. Take ASA or other pain relievers.

Question 5

what does it mean when you vascular picture is more defined than it should be in a chest x rat. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Radiologists use a variety of descriptive phrases, some more precise than others. Doctors who know and work with that particular radiologist may know his or her precise meaning. A “more defined vascular picture” has no meaning for me without the rest of the report and the patient history. The physician who ordered the chest X-ray may better answer that question or the radiologist himself.

Question 6

does chest xray of pa lateral  take a picture of the lungs?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Chest x-ray pa and lateral means your doctor wants to see lung in anterior posterior position and to see heart and behind it in lateral it shows the lungs, heart , and upper part of body , neck to abdomen. It shows if there is pathology in lungs, heart or mediastinum.

Accepted Answer

Whoa: It is not good to treat any suspected true cancer just by spraying with liquid nitrogen. It's more appropriate for an actinic keratosis. Get seen by another practitioner.
