Question 1

is it possible for athsma to be hidden until 44 and suddenly crop up?

Accepted Answer

Yes...: Asthma can be diagnosed at any age. Allergic triggers can also occur at any age. If you are having symptoms of recurrent bronchospasm, see your doctor for evaluation and treatment as it is a very treatable condition. Most patients can be rendered symptom-free between exacerbations.

Question 2

is it dangerous to watch crime documentaries while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not: Have fun watching any thing you like.

Question 3

what is it, the tobacco or the crop-sprayed chemicals, that cause the damage associated with cigarettes?

Accepted Answer

Tobacco: There are many chemicals in cigarettes that are responsible for the manifestations associated with tobacco use. We are not able to pinpoint only one.

Question 4

what is the basic difference between papule , macule and crops . send me some clinically relevant pics ?

Accepted Answer

How raised is it: A macule is flat. Can't feel it with your eyes closed. A papule is raised and can be felt. A vesicle is a papule that has fluid in it - like a tear drop. It may also have pus in it- yellowish - then it's called a pustule. All these lesions are smaller than 5 mm in greatest dimension. Please google for images.

Question 5

aloe is cropping up as a new "health" craze. is ingesting aloe products helpful/harmful/inconclusive in thyroid function?

Accepted Answer

Neither beneficial: nor harmful for thyroid disorders. Aloe is primarily useful for minor burns or as a laxative. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 6

if antiphosopolipid, autoimmune, hormonal tests are normal before pregnancy, what are the chances of these issues to crop once pregnant. 2 early mcs?

Accepted Answer

Negligible: if auto-immune work up has yielded negative results, they are likely to continue to be negative during pregnancy as well. The most common reason for miscarriages in the first trimester is chromosomal. I would not worry about the auto-immune component just yet without any history of dysfunction or auto-immune disease symptoms

Question 7

can you become a crop dusting pilot, if you're color blind?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Color-blind pilots are typically issued a restriction reading, "not valid for night flight or by color signal control." this mitigates the concern that color-blind pilots may not be able to identify those colors required for the performance of safe airman duties by preventing situations that are considered potentially unsafe. More info: wikipedia pilot certification.

Question 8

should my mom be on cbd oil instead of anticonvulsants?more natural. saw documentary about cbd oil saved child's life when anticonvulsants did nothing

Accepted Answer

Stay with neurology: Please don't change any of the medications your mother is on and use alternative therapies on your own. You can have a second neurologist opinion, it's your right, but don't stop prescribed medicines till you do so. Anticonvulsants are many, Epilepsy is a science by itself, so stay with experts please, wish yourself and your mother wellness

Question 9

can a high creative protien have a relation to cancer or can it be coincidence i'm growing tumors and i have a crop of 15.6  docs suspect auto immune?

Accepted Answer

C-reactive: As a pathologist, I wish people wouldn't even order this. It's not sensitive, not specific, plenty of healthy people have it elevated, plenty of sick people have it low. I would ask the question, "how do you FEEL", and "is there a mass that needs to be biopsied"?

Question 10

i am having issues with breathing - it feels like drawing breath in is harder/my lungs have to work harder to get breath and it's worrying. it mostly only crops up in moderate-strong winds and while wearing a mask for extended periods of time?
