Question 1

how would i go about finding a good doctor.  i do  have medicaid. i live in phoenix arizona?

Accepted Answer

It's easy: Check at your nearest hospital for doctors  on staff. Then check those with offices close to your home. Then check to see if the doctor accepts Medicaid patients. Unfortunately because of poor fees and excess paperwork many good doctors cannot take this insurance. Look for a family doctor or internal medicine specialist depending on your medical history.

Question 2

hi, i have arizona's achcccs/medicaid coverage but i haven't had a primary care physician for over three years. at that time, i stopped taking hydrocl?

Accepted Answer

Check your BP: You can check your BP at many larger pharmacies with one of the automated cuffs that you sit down at. If it is high (&gt;140/90) then you should address it. First, if you smoke, try to quit. Reduce salt consumption. Limit alcohol use. Eliminate fast/processed foods. If overweight, see if you can lose few lbs.If those interventions don't help (or you can't do them), see a doctor to restart medication.

Question 3

my family and i just moved from sea level to the top of arizona mountain. every morning my family and i wake up with major stuffy noises.

Accepted Answer

Dry air: Basically you have moved from a high humidity area to a dry one. I would recommend to try to put a humidifier in the room where you sleep and you will a difference.

Question 4

why do people say that arizona is the best place for people to live who have allergies?

Accepted Answer

Moving out west: Many patients originally from the east have moved out to arizona and seen their allergic symptoms dissipate, but not all.  The midwest sports some very dry areas oftentime at high altitudes where dust mites don't thrive.  Also. The pollens are oftentime different enough from those in the  east so that patient sfind they tolerate their first few years in a place like ariz.Ona.

Question 5

i just moved to arizona and i don't know how to make a appointment for my new pregnancy

Accepted Answer

Check w Insurance: If you have health insurance give them a call. They can direct you to doctors in your network. Get phone number off the back of your card.
No insurance check phone book. Ask friends and neighbors who they recommend.

Question 6

i was in a car driving in arizona and wondered if you really get water from inside cactus if you're stranded?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but illegal.: You cannot cut into a cactus plant in the wild legally.  I suspect if you where in this very unlikely scenario, the judge would let you off.  Listen, the first rule of going into any wilderness, is have enough water and food.  Cell phone help too!

Question 7

when you say green tea, does that apply to the hot tea only or do teas like arizona green tea have similar effects?

Accepted Answer

Fresh-brewed best!: Teas like Arizona green tea lose over 90% of their beneficial antioxidants and are loaded with sugars, so are not a healthy choice. Fresh-brewed green tea is MUCH healthier- it is OK to cool it but it should be consumed within hours of being brewed for maximum benefit. You can add a bit of sugar or erythritol.

Question 8

i just came back from arizona, i just found out that my aunt was diagnosed with c-diff. i was around her when visiting should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Not at all: The microbe is everywhere. It only makes you sick if it's allowed to overgrow the normal colon flora.

Question 9

in arizona, is there such a thing as valley fever?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: You are referring to the fungus coccidiodes immitis (cocci for short) which causes the lung disease coccidiomycosis sometimes referred to as valley fever.  It is common in the central california valley and southwest. The infection is often mild and not diagnosed, but it can leave nodules, scarring or cavities that can appear on chest x ray. It can disseminate and cause serious disease in some.

Question 10

does the arizona green tea with ginseng and honey diet work well?

Accepted Answer

Arizona tea: What do you want the tea to work for?  Most of the prepared teas have a lot of sugar and additives in them.  If you want the benefits of green tea it's best to brew your own.
