Accepted Answer

MTN Air: i get to work in Appalachia and I have heard that the mountain air can increase your appetite. What I am most concerned with however, is rickettsial disease caused by ticks.  Please do a thorough tick check behind ears soon hairline and if you find any make sure it is fully removed. Keep an eye out for weird rashes and recurrence of these symptoms in the next few weeks and see local doctor.

Question 2

can you tell me how to ease muscle aches after a stomach virus?

Accepted Answer

Heat: Warm bath, whirlpool, heating pad.

Question 3

could stress/anxiety cause aching muscles in legs ?

Accepted Answer

MusclePain + Anxiety: The incidence of pain actually caused by the mind (stress/anxiety) is exceedingly rare. It is a part of the chronic muscle pain in your legs. 
Rec.: see your pcp for further investigation.

Question 4

can prolonged stress cause muscle aches in the body - arms and hands?

Accepted Answer

Prolonged stress?: Stress can cause increased tension in muscles, leading to headaches and muscle soreness.  It is not usually localized just to arms and hands, though.  That sounds like a more repetitive injury-type thing?  I suggest working with your primary care doctor to figure out the cause for this, and get help for it.  Be well, .

Question 5

i had low grade fever no greater than 100.0 with muscle aches and stomach issues for one night and is gone when i woke up today is it symptomatic of early hiv??

Accepted Answer

Not likely either. : No, not likely. If you are concerned about having been exposed to HIV and having gotten it, please go to your doctor and ask for an HIV test. You might feel embarrassed but your safety is first, and if you have lt you need to know as soon as possible to start treatment.

Question 6

what is the safest pain reliever to take for minor stress related muscle aches- tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil? minor meaning as needed 1or 2 times week?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends upon if you have any other conditions. If you have liver disease advil is safer as tylenol (acetaminophen) can irritate the liver. If you have hypertension, heart failure, kidney disease or ulcers then tylenol (acetaminophen) is safer as it does not worsen or contribute to those problems. If you have no other problems then either one is safe to take occasionally.

Question 7

how long do ars hiv fever normally last? i had a fever with stomach pain and muscle aches for one day

Accepted Answer

Acute HIV infection: Fever alone almost never is due to ARS; it only occurs along with other symptoms like sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes, and sometimes skin rash. ARS symptoms typically start 7-10 days after catching the virus (never sooner than week). Once fever or other ARS symptoms start, usually they last at least 1-2 weeks. If possibly exposed or otherwise concerned, see a doctor ASAP.  Good luck.

Question 8

iv had odd muscle aches in both my arms and sometimes legs for 2 weeks. doctor just said its probably stress. massage did not relieve. stumped & worri?

Accepted Answer

Try to find a: doctor or nutritionist who can do some lab testing on your micronutrient levels. Low vitamin and mineral levels can contribute to physical aches and pains.  Stress management self help books can also be helpful.  Peace and good health.

Question 9

yesterday: vomiting, stomach pains, fever, migraine,  random muscle aches.
today: trouble taking deep breaths, still muscle aches. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Flu symptoms: Looks like flu ( viral). Drink plenty of fluids, make sure you are well hydrated. Measure your fever. Go visit your doctor if fever more than 102 or if sum not better in 3-4 days.

Question 10

my stomach is usually upset in the morning and i feel tired. rarely my joints would have aching muscles. everyone after eating i want to sleep especially sugar?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Many things are in the upper abdomen:  stomach, pancreas, liver, small intestine, gall bladder, large intestine, etc...  An exam by a primary care doctor can help figure things out. Symptoms that occur after eating can be due to gallstones or other gall bladder disease. Acid reflux is a common cause of stomach symptoms, too. One can write on a calendar a diary of her symptoms and show her doctor.
