Impossible to: say with any certainty, but consult with your doctor.  You might need to have a Holter monitor, which can record your heart rhythm while you are having this episode.

Question 2

my son has a fever that keeps coming and going.his been on zithromax for 3 days wasnt breaking the fever then went to a doctor which out him on amoxylin.this is the second day of amoxylin and the fever is stil there.

Accepted Answer

Doctor can recheck: The next step depends on the big picture, and the doctor's evaluation. The doctor will try to figure out if the fever is from an infection. If yes, then the next step is to figure out what microbe is doing the infection. Sometimes it is not possible to tell which microbe. Each medication stops a select group of microbes. So, if symptoms continue, a recheck may be needed to decide the next step.

Question 4

does hsv-1 herpes life threating or has any specific treatment ? again to ask can an oral hickey on chest/neck (without any genital contact) cause genital herpes or is just limited to cold sores - please throw some light here?

Accepted Answer

: HSV-1 or 2 can cause localized infections in the mouth/lips or on the genitals. It is more inconvenience than a threat. It is from a family of DNA viruses that can hibernate after the primary infection clears and recur at the same location on multiple occasions. An oral hickey on the chest will not cause any transfer of the germ to the recipient &amp; trigger oral or genital herpes.

Accepted Answer

Antihistamines: Most important thing is to stop scratching, itching or rubbing. Break the itch-scratch-rash cycle. Helps to take antihistamines (allegra, atarax, benadryl, (diphenhydramine) zyrtec, claritin), dozepin (oral and topical), topical steroids (prescription strength). Sometimes hypnotherapy can help.

Scrotal swelling: F/U  with urologist, may be hydrocele ( cosmetic issue) or varicocele ( may affect fertility) or epididymitis/orchitis.Unlikely torsion as that is very painful.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

It depends: Upon the cause. There are many possible mental and physical causes. Things that can help are relaxation, avoidance of toxins such as alcohol/tobacco/anabolics/opiates and certain medications, diet/exercise and weight loss, making sure hormonal levels are normal, etc. Check w/your doctor. At your age, stress and anxiety are most common.

Question 10

i'm 33 should i be having e.d issues already?

Accepted Answer

ED in young man: It is not unheard of. But, the reason may be easier to treat. Do not be afraid to get a full evaluation from an expert in men's health.  Erections are more than 50% caused by one's brain or mental function and less than 50% about the body.

Once the worry is diminished many men find their erections have returned.
