Question

Is it normal for a doctor to prescribe Prozac for mood swings and high emotions during menopause I am going through menopause and am very emotional and have mood swings sometimes i feel like crying for no reason i jump at people these things are not norma

Answer 1

Bruise : If the bruise is minimal I would not worry but if they become worse you need to see your doctor again

Answer 2

Platelet Problem: Easy bruising is usually not related to anemia; it is usually secondary to a decrease in the number or function of the platelets. Platelets are plugs present in the bloodstream that are designed to stop bleeding from small blood vessels. The most common cause of dysfunction is from nsaids/aspirin. Decreased platelet number can occur secondary to bone marrow problems or increased destruction.

Answer 3

Several issues: Anemia is not one of them! abnormal clotting due to low platelets or abnormal clotting factors or very thin skin, most commonly due to aging, where tiny bloos vessels in skin break easily as not supported by connective tissue.

Answer 4

Bruising: If bruising has not resolved after couple weeks or associated w pain and affecting mobility seek professional medical care.

Answer 5

Possibly: A bruise anywhere that doesn't get better with time should raise suspicion for something more sinister than a simple bruise. Although it might be nothing more than something simple like de Quervain's tenosynovitis, see a hand specialists for a complete evaluation.

Answer 6

Rest it: A bone bruise typically refers to trauma to the layer that covers the bone, the periosteum. This layer will swell and cause pain when traumatized. There is no specific treatment to accelerate the healing, but use ice the 1st 24 hours to reduce the swelling then heat may feel good. Antiinflammatories and staying off the affected bone as much as possible may help too.

Answer 7

Bone bruise: Avoid additional trauma and "tincture of time", ususally for 4-6 weeks.

Answer 8

Possibly: Spontaneous or easy bruising can be a sign that there's a problem with the blood's ability to clot. This can be checked by a doctor running some fairly routine blood tests.

Answer 9

Bruising: 1. The presence of bruises may be seen in patients with platelet or coagulation (blood-clotting) disorders 2. Leukemia (a cancer of the blood or bone marrow and is characterized by an abnormal proliferation (production by multiplication) of blood cells, usually white blood cells) 3. Meningoccocal infection (meningococcal disease describes infections caused by the bacterium neisseria meningitis.

Answer 10

Not much: People on Plavix (clopidogrel) tend to bruise easier. Other than avoiding bumping into things there is not much you can do. Would you rather have a few bruises or a hart attack or stroke?

Answer 11

Talk to your Doctor: Some people tend to bruise much easier than others. The medicine is working but the bruising and constant injury that occurs from it will cause over time damage to your skin and soft tissues. You can try and protect your self but it is impossible to avoid all contact. You need to discuss the need for the Plavix (clopidogrel) and if there are any alternatives with your doctor. Aditional blood test are needed.
