Question 1

does alcohol consumption raise your body temperature ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe the contrary.: Alcohol dilates the blood vessels on the skin leading to a warmer sensation but actually increase in heat loss. Although theoretically, the cold drink would also reduce the body temp , the body has a lot of tricks to combat the loss to maintain a normal temperature. If one falls unconscious in a cold environment, one may actually end up with severe hypothermia.

Question 2

could sleep deprivation caused a raised body temperature?

Accepted Answer

Sleep deprivation: Although lack of sleep can dampen immune responses, I am not aware that it causes a rise of body temperature.  Did you ask the previous question if sleep deprivation causes flu-like symptoms?  If yes, I would say if you have a fever &amp; flu-like symptoms - it would suggest that you are ill.

Question 3

during months where the weather is cooling down, if my body temperature is raised my skin will begin itching badly then it will progress into a painful sensation followed by a dull pain which is still noticeable. why is this happening?

Accepted Answer

Cholinergic : An incomplete cholinergic urticaria is suggested by your symptoms as it sounds that there is no rash, but itching followed by pain. Mention your symptoms to your pediatrician at your annual visit and keep a log with pictures of skin changes if noted.

Question 4

how specific is raised ggt as a marker of alcohol abuse?

Accepted Answer

Not: Liver disease or damage will elevate ggt--but it is elevated in 75% of pts with chronic alcoholism and can b used to follow drinkers.

Question 5

hi... my son has dark circular slightly raised lines on his neck that won't go away.. we've used a fungal cream.. but not working.. as well as rubbing alcohol.. thanku?

Accepted Answer

Needs to be seen: This rash would likely need to be examined and more history obtained to be able to provide you with useful input about the diagnosis or possible treatment.

Question 6

raised alt for last five yrs from 100-180 hepititis tests negative, bilirubin is on margin, fibroscan shows level two, no probems physically non alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal liver test: Clearly there is a liver process going on. Would extend the valuation to autoimmune and metabolic causes of liver disease.

Question 7

my doctor has told me my liver is boarder line. slightly raised. what dose this mean. i don't drink alcohol.  only now and again thank you?

Accepted Answer

Liver enzymes: Possible causes of elevated liver enzymes, besides alcohol, are hepatitis such as viral, muscle injuries such as heart or kidney,  & many  drugs/toxins.

Question 8

could drinking alcohol the night before a blood test raised liver enzymes?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It's common. Tell your physician you were partying. If the enzymes are high, they'll be repeated after a time off alcohol.

Question 9

raised bump on arm for last couple of weeks. i decided to pop yesterday, blood spewed out everywhere.cleaned with alcohol, hydrogen peroxide&place cotton ball with iodine on it with bandaid. was bigger, popped again today and blood went everywhere.

Accepted Answer

See dermatologist: this could be nothing serious, but you need to make sure of that. See dermatologist for eval and possible bx.

Question 10

my high levels of ggt doctors say is alcohol, but i dont drink, they wont review my head scans or do a ct . is ggt raised in nuero  myotonic dystrophy?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: What is the GGT level? There are many medications that can raise GGT. How much do you weight? Fatty liver is an other cause. If GGT is only minimally elevated and stable and there is good reason to take the medications that my be raising it, that may be okay. See this site for more info.
