Past 2 days I have a sinus headache, congestion, drainage, and ear " fullness". I have glaucoma, and r/eye is very red, puffy and draining. I am a 100% s/c vet, should I visit emergency ?

Answer 1

Anesthesia/fluids: It may have to do with the anesthesia you had or with being relatively dehydrated. Make sure that you are drinking lots of water and no caffeine or alcohol. If it is not resolving soon, see your doctor for check up.

Answer 2

Get seen: Bleeding for this long is not a woman's normal cycle. A gynecologist needs to examine you. The greatest concern -- and a very real one based on what you have told me -- is cancer. Prove that you are brave, and let's get whatever-it-is diagnosed and treated before it's too late. You owe this to those around you. Goo luck.

Answer 3

Different vaccine: Before about 1992 the DPT had a whole cell pertussis component that often caused fever & swelling. It was rarely given after 5 due to its high reaction rate. After '92, a restructured vaccine has a lab designed pertussis component that changed things for the better.Now the dtap is one of the least likely to have a reaction & various forms are given to folks at all ages. I doubt you'll have a rxn.

Answer 4

Do you mean period?: If your period is short, consider pregnancy. Otherwise it can be from many thins - thyroid is ease, diabetes, meds, exercise, hormone changes, etc. Need more info.

Answer 5

Options: An occasional off month is common and does not usually indicate a problem. If it continues see your obgyn for an exam and testing. Depending on your age and fertility plans there are lots of treatment options. Birth control pills can regulate your cycle. Mirena (levonorgestrel) iuds can minimize your periods. Lysteda is a great new hormone free drug used to stop heavy periods.

Answer 6

Unsure: Reasons for irregularity include weight gain or loss, breastfeeding, alcohol use, eating disorders, marked emotional stress, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, cervical polyps, polycystic ovarian syndrome, excessive exercise & pregnancy. When a girl has just started menstruating & around the time of menopause periods can be irregular.

Answer 7

Can vary: You will most likely find that throughout your menstrual history you will vary somewhat in the duration, flow and symptoms of your menses. What you describe is not abnormal at all. Just observe and if there is a persistent problem, discuss with your pcp or gynecologist. Without symptoms, you should be reassured.
