Answer 1

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Answer 2

Reduce pain: There is actually some debate about the use of nitroglycerine in the setting of all heart attacks. It is known that nitroglycerine dilates the veins and to a lesser extent the arteries and sort of "unloads" the heart. As such it will make it easier for the heart to pump under the stressful circumstances of a heart attack. However, when the blood pressure is low, it is not a good idea.

Answer 3

Dilation: Nitrates like Nitroglycerin cause the arteries to dilate so more blood flows (higher rate). This is to try to mitigate the lack of blood flow to the affected part of the heart through increased flow in the affected arteries and in collateral circulation.

Answer 4

Multi-layer dressing: Use sterile dressing and antibiotic ointment over the exposed skin to prevent infection and promote healing. Use a second layer of dressing or gauze. In between the first and second layer apply a lubricant such as vaseline or petroleum jelly. Secure those layers with a roll gauze and tape. All of this goes under your sock and should prevent pain when walking.

Answer 5

Cover the part that : Peeled with a bandage. Elbow band-aids are great for covering large areas.

Answer 6

Yes: When confronted with a women who could be pregnant we almost always suspect it.

Answer 7

Pelvic pain: You should see a doctor. You may be pregnant, not necessarily a normal pregnancy, but you matty have others different condition such as infection or cyst. Bottom line you need an evaluation.

Answer 8

Wrong dose: The way you are taking the zithromax is not the dosing for chlamydia - for that you need to take 4 250mg tablets at once. That's it. Call your doctor and check out why they prescribed it the way you are taking it.

Answer 9

Schedule appointment: You may have a concurrent urinary tract infection not being treated by your current antibiotic. This needs to be checked and not just assume the back pain is pid related.

Answer 10

Probably not: It may me a reaction to the sting. You should seek medical attention asap.

Answer 11

Not likely: I would give it some more time and everything should slowly get back to normal. Expect pain and swelling for the next few days.

Answer 12

No: Ice and elevation. Over the counter Ibuprofen every 6-8 hours will help with the inflammation.

Answer 13

Ouch!: Remove stinger by scraping along edge of skin with a credit card. Clean with soap & warm water. Apply ice in 10 minute. Increments; alternating 10 on & 10 off. Tylenol, (acetaminophen) Aspirin or Motrin for pain or Benadryl for swelling. Make a paste of 2 parts baking soda & 1 part water & apply. Or you can apply a meat tenderizer poultice to the area. Throat, airway or tongue swelling – call 911.
