Energy: Please start w/a visit to your doctor to rule out any metabolic disorders.  Then reflect on your lifestyle and stress level.  How is your diet?  Junk food? Sugar?  Do you exercise?  Brisk walking is fine.  Beware of energy drinks and false energy via coffee loading.  You will crash later.  Please take a holistic approach.  Theanine in tea can keep you relaxed yet focused.  Peace and health.

Accepted Answer

You should be fine: Usually after 48 hours you should of formed a mature blood clot by now. If you wanted to be extra careful you may want to stay away from carbonated drinks for another 24 hours.  I typically ask my patients to stay away from carbonated drinks for 72hr. To help avoid loosing the blood clot.

Question 9

what happens if aspergilloma can't be surgically removed and the medications don't work, what happens then?

Accepted Answer

No medication: Aspergilloma is a cavity with Aspergillus inside in the lung. The only definitive treatment is surgery. Most Aspergilloma cause no direct ill effects and just need to be followed with yearly chest X rays. There are a few complications such as bleeding that require immediate treatment. Most cause no problems besides being there and having to be followed.

Question 10

what if a dialysis patient takes a medication or something that isn't dialyzable and can't be removed by dialysis?

Accepted Answer

See below : Prescribing for pts on dialysis can be challenging. Many drugs are not cleared by the kidneys. The drug’s clearance and therapeutic index determine if a dose adjustment is needed. When prescribing for pts on dialysis, it is essential to consult a reference guide to determine if the drug is subject to renal clearance and requires a dose adjustment. Best to discuss with a nephrologist.
