Question 1

i  have severe chronic anxiety, sometimes when i'm very nervous i have urge to move roll eyes and blink is this a concern ?not on any medication

Accepted Answer

Not on meds?: You list medications. Did you stop taking them? You don't list therapy and for chronic severe anxiety you need to be treated. Does the eye movement reduce symptoms? If it does, that's not a bad mgmt strategy. If it doesn't, you can learn good skills in therapy. Concern is good if it guides you to improvement. Otherwise, it's not useful. You decide if you'd use it well. Best!

Question 2

based on my symptoms i was diagnosed with rrms, other conditions were rolled out and normal mri, i was given medication for over active bladder, do i need to track my symptoms if it worsen? do i need to see a internal medicine doctor?

Accepted Answer

Primary care: If there is a change in your symptoms, it would be prudent to see your primary care provider for assessment and to ascertain if you need to see a specialist.
Wish you good health!

Question 3

haldol (haloperidol) and zoloft. my wife is taking haldol (haloperidol) and zolft. her eyes roll in her head. she is out of it. and she freezes like a heroin addict. is this a side effect from the medication.

Accepted Answer

This : This is a side effect of Haldol (haloperidol) made significantly stronger by zoloft. The elimination of these drugs from the body depends on a liver enzyme called cyp3a4. Both Haldol (haloperidol) and sertraline compete for  this enzyme. Because of the competition, cyp3a4 becomes "overwhelmed" and ineffective. As a result, if both drugs are taken together, the concentration of Haldol (haloperidol) in the system increases 4 times. This increase in Haldol (haloperidol) concentration is most likely responsible for the severity of the side effects that your wife is experiencing. 
    If your wife's condition requires that she take both an antidepressant and an antipsychotic drug, in order to avoid significant side effects, it is necessary to select a combination of drugs that have only a minimal degree of interaction. Oftentimes, interactions between drugs could be very complex. Therefore, a consultation with a physician a pharmacist with expertise in clinical pharmacology could be a good strategy to pursue.

Question 4

how are reusable and disposable gauze roll bandages different?

Accepted Answer

Often the Same: It is more on how they are intended to be used. Bandages for covering an open wound should never be reused because of the risk of infection. Use them once when they are clean then throw them away. Elastic type bandages e.g. splinting a sprained ankle can be reused because they do not need to be sterile- just clean.

Question 5

what can i use as a substitue for ace bandage?  will the rolled gauze work too?

Accepted Answer

Possibly.: You will have to roll it on very tight for the same effect.  A compression sock might work better.  Good luck.

Question 6

planning to go from europe to asia. what is suggested medical travel pack to bring along? what drugs, bandages etc. are recommended for a longer trip?

Accepted Answer

Depends: See http://wwwnc.Cdc.Gov/travel/destinations/list.Htm, for recommendations on drugs and immunizations for each of the countries you plan to visit. For a general first-aid kit, i recommend pepto bismol, (bismuth subsalicylate) ibuprofen, an antihistamine, antibiotic ointment, antiseptic wipes, and a miscellaneous assortment of bandaids and sterile dressings.

Question 7

i have a drug test (urine) for the plants in 3 weeks i roll joints for my friends and accidentally licked my fingers will i fail?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Are you exposed to the smoke from your friends? Second hand smoke is more likely to make you fail the test than licking your fingers. If you avoid any and all exposure to weed for the next three weeks, you should be okay.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. 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. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 8

i need a refill on one of my medications?

Accepted Answer

Best: Would be to get it through your prescriber. Other options such as paid consult on Health Tap or Urgent care are less optimal. Controlled substances are not prescribed on HealthTap.

Question 9

how can i tell my friends i'm on medication?

Accepted Answer

Your decision: It is your decision whether or not you wish to share this information. I think it is fine to be candid.

Question 10

what are common medications on a paediatric unit?

Accepted Answer

Antibx and resp: While flippant, generally most kids who are admitted to the hospital are suffering an infection of some kind or having respiratory issues. So antibiotics are huge. Respiratory meds include albuterol and steroids mainly. Pain medications of course. Otherwise it's specialty dependent, and can vary greatly.
