Question 1

hi..i saw a dr that specializes in chinese medicine , she said by looking at my tounge i might have sleen or kidney problems. shold i c my family dr ?

Accepted Answer

Yes see your Dr.: Kidney problem is possible but unlikely. You need to have a urinalysis &amp; blood test at a minimum. Followed by ultrasound or radiologic studies, but only if tests are positive.

Question 2

my left side has been hurting and when i press on it it hurts. the pain generates either from the left side of liver, sleen, stomach, colon area. some times it even hurts near my belly button and even right under my sternum. what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Need info: How long has this been going on? Any fever or other symptoms? Does it hurt when you press on the lower right side of the belly? Does it hurt more when you press or more when you release after pressing? How are your stools? If you are a female, how are your periods. Leave in comments section so I can reply. Thanks!

Question 3

thick white pnd 24/7? why

Accepted Answer

Severe allergies?: Constant PND from allergies is one possibility.  The other is a viral infection that can lead to a sinus infection.  If the symptoms persists for ?2-4 weeks or more, then it could lead to chronic sinusitis.  Go see your doctor.  A nasal spray (flonase) may be the only thing you need.

Question 5

why did i gain 7 lbs in 2 days?

Accepted Answer

This is likely to be: water weight.

Question 6

i exercise 7 days a week is safe?

Accepted Answer

Need caution: I actually do that too.
The key i believe is a program of hard and
easy days. If you work out hard one day, the
next day should be a real easy workout.
That relates mainly to harder aerobics or
weights.
Stretching could and should be done on a daily basis.

Question 7

is it possible to show at 7 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Depends on what: you mean by show. Your waist line and abdomen may enlarge some but that doesn't mean that there would be an obvious pregnancy.

Question 8

i want reduce my waight in 7 days?

Accepted Answer

Why in 7 days???: This is NOT healthy for you to do so!! The only way that you can loose that amount of weight so quickly is to take large quantities of diuretics that make you urinate. It is water weight and as soon as you stop you will regain the weight.  In addition, it is potentially very dangerous by screwing up other electrolytes and body fluids, and your B/P.

Question 9

what does a retic count of 7 mean?

Accepted Answer

Retic count: A reticulocyte count =  measures of % of reticulocytes (immature cells) in the blood.

Question 10

baby 7 months and 27 inches? normal

Accepted Answer

50% tile if a boy: If your baby is a boy- this length is at 50%tile meaning 50% of children this age are larger, 50% smaller. If your baby is a girl, this length is at the 75% tile- meaning she is a bit longer than other children her age. Lengths between 10% to 95% tile are considered normal.  Docs also look at weight and head circumference at the same time. Your doc will look at growth trends at each well check.
