Question 1

53 year old male has facial and hand twitch tics at the same times when overly excited, its most intense when anticipating intimacy. what are possible causes? i need ideas of what it could be to convince him to see a dr?

Accepted Answer

: Would classify within a "movement disorder".  Could represent a compensated essential tremor, a forme-fruste of Tourette's, or even paroxysmal chores-athetosis, amongst some thoughts.  Unlikely to be a profound problem, but could be treated and controlled with contemporary medications.

Question 2

hi my 3 year old fell at school and hit his head on the floor. left nostril was bleeding. theres no bumps yet just bruising. nose stop bleeding. teacher said he was fine he is napping now though. should i take him to dr?

Accepted Answer

Head trauma: Just need to observe x 1-2 days. Emesis, head pain or swelling or a change in
alert status warrants an MD visit. Otherwise, rest, Tylenol for pain or fever,
and observe at home. Glad the nosebleed stopped quickly, common in kids in general.

Question 3

with my symptoms should i go for a covid test?
mucus in the upper area of the chest, nebulizer treatment works well
coughing but not persistent and in the morning
slight body aches
no fever but sometimes feeling cold/chills

Accepted Answer

COVID concerns: Consider medical consultation to get a better idea. COVID 19 Symptoms may include fever, cough, feeling tired, shortness of breath, muscle aches, headache, sore throat, chills, chest pain, nasal congestion, loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.

Question 4

what treatment options do i have for possible patella femerol syndrome as dr wont do anything and it hurts when walking up/down hill/stairs ?

Accepted Answer

Get another opinion: Pf pain in a 42yo is not the same as in a teen. Cartilage breakdon is a concern and might need surgery to prevent the development of a serios degenerative arthritis needing replacement surgery.

Question 5

multilevel disc and joint arthrosis ostephytosis and sclerosis in lumbar spine and neck.  hills sachs  with joint narrowing shoulder. what dr to see?

Accepted Answer

Multi joint pain: i would first see a rheumatologist to evaluate you for a potential inflammatory arthritic process.

Question 6

get badly out of breath when walking up hills/getting into bed/laying down cause? chf? dr appt needed? hist: htn pcos zestoretic provera (medroxyprogesterone) 205 lbs f

Accepted Answer

Unlikely --: Unlikely unless you have a known heart disease? It is probably related to your weight -- how high is your BP before treatment?

Question 7

get badly out of breath when walking up hills/getting into bed cause? chf?dr appt? hist: htn pcos zestoretic provera (medroxyprogesterone) 205 lbs  bp >130/90 b/f treatment

Accepted Answer

I can't answer this: Question in its entirety, but can say that neither pcos nor Provera (medroxyprogesterone) use are associated with shortness of breath.

Question 9

how is the dr oz diet?

Accepted Answer

: It is a good diet which you can do on your own as well. What you would have to eat is low dairy fat, low-fat animal protein, fish, plenty of fiber with fruits, vegetables and whole grains. I typically recommend also low gluten in a diet. Basically, it is just eating healthy, buying fresh food and not processed or packaged food and always low fat with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
