Question 3

can a hiatal hernia get strangulated? ive been straining most of today and recently ive been having rib pain, nausea in waves, throat tightness feeling, dry mouth and reflux. im really worried and is causing anxiety?

Accepted Answer

: A hiatal hernia can get stuck in your chest ( incarcerated) and strangulation is a rare complication. Straining such as heavy lifting, bearing down, coughing excessively does aggravate a hiatal hernia &amp; can lead to complications. If you have serious concerns about your hiatal hernia, consult a thoracic surgeon for evaluation &amp; advice.

Question 4

i have health anxiety but right sided lower rib pain/pressure below armpit persisting for 2 months. worse when sleeping on side. urq ultrasound and rib/chest xray normal.not overly sensitive to touch. what is next? hypochondriac?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Question 5

pain in chest mostly left side. pain can be dull or sharp . rapid heartbeat. pain in left arm, neck and shoulder. my dr gave me buspar (buspirone) for anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Heart attack?: In fact, the diagnostic tools in your cardiologists' offices  are inaccurate. They produce too many false positive and some fakes negative results. Most importantly, they can only detect late stage diseases in an unsatisfactory manner, in my view. Therefore, i alone with my coworkers have created multifunction cardiogram! http://en.M.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/multifunction_cardiogram.

Question 6

me and my boyfriend had sex on febuary 28 and its march 3 he came on my back and im having horrible anxiety and my ribs hurt. am i too worried?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety about sex: I'm confused about your question.  Are you concerned that his semen hurt your back in some way?  I can assure you that semen is pretty much harmless, but if you are concerned about pregnancy or an STD I would discuss it with your primary doctor for testing.
