Question 1

i think my g.f might be bipolor. what do i do?:

Accepted Answer

Get treatment: The best thing you can do is encourage her to get an assessment by a psychiatrist. If she is bipolar, then she will need treatment with a mood stabilizer. You can find a wealth of good information about bipolar disorder on healthtap if you follow my answers and those of others.

Question 2

why would hgb f levels be high in an adult?

Accepted Answer

Several causes: Slight increases in Hemoglobin F concentration are usually of no significance in an otherwise healthy adult and in certain ethnic/racial populations. Can otherwise occur in adults due to such acquired conditions as pregnancy, various anemias, and leukemia or inherited conditions such as one of the many forms of thalassemia and sickle cell disease. Usually a hematologist can determine the cause.

Question 3

what are my hemoglobin f quantitation & hemoglobin a2 quantitation?

Accepted Answer

Helpful labs: You didn't share your results but I am glad you are interested. These are often ordered especially when we are working up possible thalassemia.

Question 4

i m having temperature of 100  f  what should i do ?

Accepted Answer

Nothing.: There is very little chance of an isolated temperature elevation being of any clinical significance. If you feel badly you may take medications to make you feel better such as Acetaminophen or a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

Question 5

can i use ovi-f after my misscarage ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Ivf maybe use, but you did conceive and miscarried. Evaluation should be performed to see if there was a reason why you miscarried. Ivf is usually used if you had not been able to conceive.

Question 6

what is strep f and how does a 16 y/o get?

Accepted Answer

See answer: Strep F is Streptococcus anginosus. Strep F is a component of normal human bacterial flora and is found normally in the mouth,throat, sinuses,vagina and feces. It can cause infections, more often in immunocompromised or seriously ill patients. It is prone to cause abscesses, particularly the liver and brain. It normally doesn't cause tonsillitis(a strep throat)or pharyngitis.

Question 7

what can.cause shooting pains in tounge?  29/f

Accepted Answer

Need more info.: Did this occur after eating? 
Could you have traumatized the tongue? 
Recently bit your tongue?
Is your tongue pierced?
Any swelling of the tongue?

There are many reasons, pain is typically caused by a nerve that is damaged either directly (from injury / trauma) or indirectly (from an internal swelling that puts pressure on the nerve)
if it continues, see your dentist for an evaluation.

Question 8

sgpt  level is 75 ..age 37 ... f..please guide?

Accepted Answer

Follow-up: We don't treat lab values, but they are guides to workups. Probably you'll get this repeated after two weeks off alcohol and all meds you don't truly need. If it's still up, a workup will be performed. We'll rule in/out such entities as hepatitis B and C, Wilson's, hemochromatosis, and autoimmune hepatitis. It may just be your liver asking for more exercise. Best wishes.

Question 9

jow do i just get over this?  one f my friends d

Accepted Answer

Get over what?: Did one of your friends die? If so, i'm sorry to hear about it as this must be a tremendous loss to you. Talk to your other friends who are probably experiencing same feelings. Talk to your school counselor. Talk to your family. Talk to your family doctor. We're all here to help. If i'm totally off base and no one died, please write back w/more details so we can help.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Yes: 39 is young but it doesn't mean it can't happen.  If you are concerned, talk to your doctor to make sure there isn't anything else causing your symptoms.
