Question 1

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Of over 11,000 people reporting side-effects with losartan, only 0.12% reported esophageal reflux. I would have my doctor investigate other causes.

Question 2

Quit Smoking: Most states have smoking cessations plans in place.  I live in florida and we have www.Tobaccofreeflorida.Com, but others are available through websearch.

Question 3

patient with tia history, what does it mean to have a small calcified plaque is present in right carotid bulb, however, without causing significant ar?

Accepted Answer

CAD: The calcified plaque means you have atherosclerotic vascular disease. The rest suggests it isn't obstructive at this time. You should speak with your dr. About diet, exercise, and possibly medications directed at atherosclerotic disease and tia.

Question 4

my pcp told me to get a mole checked out in july '20.how likely are moles to be melenoma and how quickly would it take to spread if it is? its tan and round with a brown dot in the middle so diff colors but has symmetry and is small, ar 3mm, no pain?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: There is wide variation in the behaviors of moles and melanomas and it is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion.
You may watch and wait. If the mole doubles in size, becomes irregular in size, shape or color, bleeds, ulcerates or develops a nodule, see a doctor. 
Wish you good health!

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Swollen legs: If this problem began in the last day or so, go to a clinic or an er today.  If it has been present for days or weeks, it could be caused by problems ranging from heart failure to blood clots in your legs to complications of diabetes.  Start by seeing an internal medicine specialist.  You can ask for names from the arkansas medical society, then check their credentials online.

Here are some ...: If your Dx and Rx for ED and you're new to the area, you just need a PCP to establish the care, especially if you have some prior / existing record at hand After a proper review the Hx anf documentation, she/he would be most likely to refill Cialis for you. So, pick phone to call a urologist or PCP for such... Best luck ...

Question 7

Accepted Answer

There is none: Reflux is a natural process that all infants may have to some degree. The feed does not change the tendency. There are some formulas that have are thickened to increase the weight of the feed which can help in some. What these are called in your country is not known to us in the USA.

Question 8

i am wondering how i can tell if my sons have pink eye or if it's just allergy-related. my 4-year old has had green/yellow yucky stuff building up in corner of eye since saturday.  on sunday, his eye was a little swollen, a little pink, and he was pink ar

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. It sounds as if your son's eye is red and he has colored drainage. Now a second child has symptoms. This sounds more like an infection than common allergies.

Question 9

my age is 18  my pinis is small?

Accepted Answer

Still normal-sized?: Micropenis is something an occasional boy is born with. The doctor doing the newborn exam can tell the parents if a penis is tiny. If the penis is normal sized at birth, his growth hormone and testosterone keep his penis growing normally until adulthood. Be sure the doctor checks the penis & testicles at check-ups. A smaller-than-average penis is normal, and not a micropenis, which is really tiny.

Question 10

if the bp is 116. is that consider little low?

Accepted Answer

No: Blood pressure is measured via 2 numbers: systolic blood pressure over diastolic blood pressure.
I am assuming 116 is referring to your systolic blood pressure, in which case it is normal. Generally accepted systolic blood pressure is between 100-120. Diastolic blood pressure between 60-90.
