See A DR: Fluconazole treatment for 3 continuous months is unusual except in the case of candidal bone infection. A simple vaginal yeast infection should only take 7- 14 days of treatment. Prolonged use of fluconazole increases the likelihood of side effects. You need to see a Dr ASAP. Difficulty breathing/tight chest could be a symptom of something severe and requires a thorough evaluation.

Not necessarily: Family history - mother's and father's, and sibling's - can suggest a predilection for ear infections, but it is only a tendency, not definite. If there is a family history, monitor closely.

Why can arm swelling and pain happen after breast cancer surgery?

Dr. Barry Rosenanswered

Lymphedema: An essential part of breast cancer staging is the removal of some of the lymph nodes under the armpit. The lymphatic system's job includes draining tissue fluid and bringing it back into the circulation. Lymph node removal short-circuits this process leading to the risk of chronic swelling, or lymphedema. The less nodes removed, the lower the risk.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy has reduced this risk to under 5%, compared to rates of 25% in the past.

In select patients, even a positive sentinel node may not mandate completion axillary node dissection. Also, with modern chemotherapy, even patients with gross positive node disease up front may be converted to node negative status with neoadjuvant therapy and spared axillary node dissection given a negative sentinel node following neoadjuvant therapy.

Chest pain?: The mood swings and anxiety are very commonly associated with adrenal and thyroid problems while chest pain may accompany the anxiety, it needs to be evaluated separately to rule out other causes including those related to the heart, lungs or stomach.

Return to your Docto: If pain is not better after few seats of antibiotics, you either have the wrong antibiotics or something else is causing the pain, so you better return to be checked.

My body keep on giving odd reaction, it trembles up from my chest through the throat until the jaws, so to the hands. Could it be hyperthyroidism?

...: Could mean fatigue, are you sleeping 6h-8h every night? Do you wake up at the same time most days? Do you drink 3qts/water daily? Do you walk 30 minutes every day? If not, your body is tired and wants to sleep, so will have to be shaken, or shivered, to wake up. If you walk 30min daily, avoid fried & sugary food, drink 3qts water daily, you see the difference.
