Avatar n tn I have had a stress test, an echocardiogram, and an stress echo all which come back normal. I had a CTA done on 1/15 that was normal as well. A week ago, I woke up with chills and a racing heart beat. I have been short of breath all this time, and I feel as if I cannot get a full breath of air in my left lung. My back feels extremely tight, and I feel as if i have to wiggle around to get a full breath in to fill my lungs. I had another CTA done on 3/18 which came back normal as well.
Avatar f tn After three years of hell and every test known to man and at least 10 doctors, I've been diagnosed with conversion disorder which I know is false. The only abnormal results have been high lymphocytes, one single o band, vitamins d and b deficiency, costocondritis, gastritis, and white matter lesions they say are caused by age. I'm 45.

Avatar f tn ve had symptoms that could fall under acute stress disorder, panic disorder, general anxiety disorder, and depression. Sometimes the symptoms can fit in one catagory and then switch over to a different catagory. For example, in the past I've had frequent panic attacks throughout the day. Overtime, I've found triggers (more trivial than life threatening) for some while others just happen. Majority of the symptoms began after 2 years of profound stress.

Avatar f tn exposure with little or no risk even if he actually were infected (protected anal entirely safe, oral either no risk or low enough to ignore); and s ymptoms that do not suggest an acute HIV infection. All by itself, absence of fever is strong evidence against ARS, and ARS doesn't normally cause conjunctivitis. Adenovirus or some other respiratory virus is a far better bet than HIV.

Avatar f tn 1) As you were told before -- most recently by Dr. Garcia-Gonzalez on the international forum -- intact condoms are completely protective against HIV transmission. It should not be necessary to say it again in response to each and every sexual exposure that concerns you. Anyway, even in countries where heterosexual HIV is common, HIV is rare in most commercial sex workers. (I might be able to say more if you'll say where the exposure took place.
Avatar n tn It is like fishing to find a Dr for this. Another issue is the school. How do you get them to understand the affects of the stress and illness on him? My son is average ability so doesn't qualify for SPE but seems to have difficulty with some concepts mainly Math because he has the dysgraphia and visual perception trouble, The school is not very supportive other then giving him OT.
Avatar f tn It could be a tendonitis, a ligament sprain/strain or possibly a repetitive stress injury. Only some diagnostic tests and a good clinical assessment can determine the true source of your pain . X-rays are fine for bone structure disorders but wil not reveal soft tissue injury. Your PCP may want to treat it conservatively to see if it will resolve on it's own. You may want to make an appointment if you are not improved by Monday or a trip to ER if it becomes acute.

Avatar n tn i could have hashimotos, but my hyper phase followed by extreme hypo phase don't follow the typical hashis pattern. it seems that most people with hashimotos don't have an acute hyper phase followed by an acute hypo phase. usually people with hashimotos slowly become hypothyroid over a period of years. hashimotos is a gradual destruction, whereas silent thyroiditis is inflammation followed by recovery. only time will tell if my issue is transient. the same is with you.
