Question

Treated w/laser glaucoma open angle, unsuccessful. Now on Xalatan generic and timoptic (timolol). Is there any new treatment? 83 y.O. Male w/ open angle glaucoma; 40 years chronicity. Reccomendation?

Answer 1

Not a good idea: Chronic conditions should be managed through same doc/office as adjustments may be needed. Some meds can be even discontinued safely and continuity of care is critical in the process.

Answer 2

Impossible: That goal is not realistic. Good ways to loss weight involve losing no more than 1#/week. No weight loss is easy. You will loss weight by burning more calories than you consume. The best way is to exercise more and eat healthful foods. Any other way is a trick and a fad. Weight loss tricks and fads, at best, can result in short-term results but can cause negative health effects. Think long term.

Answer 3

By losing 2lb per wk: A combination of low-calorie diet and exercise can result in such a weight loss. This is best accomplished under supervision of an experienced provider.

Answer 4

Diet & exercise: Make sure you exercise at least 90 minutes a day, don't skip meals, avoid soda, juice, dairy, alcohol and fried foods. Eat a healthy well balanced diet! also water, organic vegetable broth, green leafy vegetables, natural pickles, apples are great to fill you up so you dont feel hungry and they are very low in calories.

Answer 5

Once a year: You may see different answers but i see my patients at least once a year.

Answer 6

At least once/year: When i see a new patient, i will perform the initial set of examinations, take a full set of radiographs (x-rays) and take photographs of every tooth and then set an appointment where i review all of the examination information with the patient and basically give them a "walking tour" and printed "road map" of their mouth and treatment options. If they need treatment, we will set the appointment.

Answer 7

Do you need to see?: I personally like to see my patients whenever they come in for their 6 month appointments. Every one of them. That being said if someone is on a 3 or 4 month recall, then I may not see them unless requested by the patient or the hygienist. But I usually try to say HI. Every office is different, but if you didn't need to have the dentist in to check, then you are probably in good shape.

Answer 8

Connect w/ your doc: It is better to get an answer from the dentist who already had seen you ( email, text,..). Your doctor may need to join HealthTap

Answer 9

That's Surprising...: It is your dentist who is responsible for monitoring your teeth, gums, restorations, and prosthetics. Without examining you and reviewing your health history and medications, that's difficult to do, don't you think? Please draw your own conclusions and discuss your concerns with the dentist.

Answer 10

Each appointment: After the dental hygienist completes his/her portion of the appointment, the dentist will usually come in and inspect your teeth and give his/her recommendations.

Answer 11

English: Please rephrase in english, thank you!

Answer 12

Mỡ bụng: Để giảm mỡ bụng, bạn cần giảm trọng lượng cơ thể tổng thể. Bạn có thể không bị thừa cân. To lose abdominal fat, you would need to lose overall body weight. You may not be overweight. I don't think HealthTap has Vietnamese language app.

Answer 13

Need more info: How high? A high MCV can be seen in some vitamin deficiencies, drugs, and alcoholism. You are stating "the flags" on your blood work. Need to know the real numbers and why the tests were ordered. Cannot interpret in a vacuum.
