Question 2

my son has sugar levels in the 500s since yesterday and it has dropped to 214 last night but back to 525. should i take him to the emergency room?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The cause of his high glucose should be determined right away. If he is taking insulin the dose will need to be adjusted and a follow up appointment with Endocrinology is suggested.

Question 3

hi, my last cycle was on september 22, 2014 and i just left the emergency room,  i was told that my hug level was at 36. could i be having amiscarriag?

Accepted Answer

Probable: Although you did not tell specify why you went to the ER, if you went in for vaginal bleeding and your hCG is only 36, there is a strong probability that you may be miscarrying. With only one hCG level it's hard to give you a definite answer. I recommend you follow up with your doctor for a repeat hCG level to get a definitive answer.

Good luck!

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the information you provided can neither diagnose nor rule out leukemia. Appropriate starting test would be WBC count.    
Wish you good health!

Question 6

how to lower  my sugar level my husband went to the emergency room feeling very week and upset in his stomach. he has diebeties and high blood presure. the doctor gave him fluids and a medicine to bring his level down when we got there is level was 450 an

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. Don't know if your husband's diabetes is normally controlled and if there is an underlying problem (i.e., like a virus) that is causing it to be uncontrolled.  Balancing blood sugar levels can be a fairly sophisticated process. I take it, that he is not on a sliding scale of insulin.  At this point, i recommend that you call the emergency room since it is a sunday. His blood sugar is even higher now that it was whe he was seen at the er. It is likely that he will  need to be seen back because his blood sugars are not under adequate control. It is will be imperative that his own physician be made aware of this; as he or she will be tracking him closely. Take care. I hope that this situation improves soon.

Question 8

do i need to go to emergency room?

Accepted Answer

Emergency room : This really depends on what is going on. You need to provide more details.

Question 9

when should i go to the emergency room?

Accepted Answer

Um, in an emergency: Sorry, but you need to help narrow this down. When you can't breathe, have severe pain, bleeding you cannot control, cannot keep fluids down due to vomiting, have prolific diarrhea, get lightheaded with position changes and/or faint, have chest pains with related symptoms, break a bone (or might have)..... Hopefully none of these are ailing you!

Question 10

First: answer the question:  "is the reason I a going a real emergency?"  If it is to you then go.  However accept the decision of the triage person who determines who goes into the emergency room for treatment and in which order.  Overall simply be patient
