Avatar m tn tested him for strep and decided it was Scarlet fever, possibly Rheumatic fever. With his heart murmur we have been going through those procedures as well. His knee started working w/in a week and then he was fine. Periodically his foot will hurt at a certain spot or different spots in his body. He was clear of strep as of Nov 6th and then Jan 15 realized he got it again. NO signs at all except for a weird feeling in the top of his foot. I only took him to the Dr.
Avatar f tn Inverted T-waves vcan be the result of many things, some inverted T-Waves are normal. The fact that your grandfather died so young, would make me question if he actually had Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and he died as a result of a cardiac arrhythmia. HCM can cause all of the symptoms you have described as well as causing inverted T-Waves. It is the depth of the inversion and the height of the QRS Complex that would be important. Let us know how your stress echo turns out.
Avatar n tn I am very worried for him, and I know that the doctors are doing all the right tests for him, MRI-more blood work. Also does anyone know if scarlet fever has any type of relationship with these tests? My son had scarlet fever 3 times. Thank you for your help.
Avatar n tn the disease usually comes along a couple of weeks after someone has popped up with a stubborn strep infection like strep throat or scarlet fever (which is almost unheard of these days w. the scarlet fever). The parts of your body that can be effect is your heart, brain, joints of your body mimicking rheumatoid arthritis and believe it or not your skin. It is considered to be an inflamatory disease in other words causing any of these parts of your body or a portion of them to swell up.

Avatar f tn We took him to the doctor and he diagnosed Scarlet fever. He priscribed Amoxicillin for 10 days. He started taking it and 3rd day his fever was gone, rash was gone. I sent him to day care for one day as I had to go to office and he came back with minor fever again. We thought his antibiotics is still not finished may be he will be fine. Next morning his legs badly hurt. Then I notice he was starting pink eye.
Avatar f tn I don't know what they mean by abnormal QRS based on the settings in the machine? An abnormal QRS could have many underlying causes including heart block. Also, the murmur is a sound, but the severity of the murmur isn't listed. You don't say if you have any symptoms. You are dealing with the weight issue, but the stress is just as high in risk.
Avatar f tn re anxious, after excersise, fever or severe anemia. But you should also let it checked because heart murmur can be a sign of significant heart disease, but it's really less like for you since it's very uncommon for young people to have it.

Avatar f tn After listening to my heart the doctor heard a very faint murmur. He assumed it was a functional murmur which I was diagnosed with around age 12. No one has heard the murmur since then. Dr. ordered echocardigram and he said it showed borderline mitral valve prolapse and slight aortic calcification. He said it did not require medication but it needed to be checked on every 2 years. He also asked me if I was ever diagnosed with rheumatic fever.
Avatar m tn I also had sores all over my body one time from what I read online I would say I had Scarlet fever but the doctor said its exactly like scarlet fever but its not?
Avatar n tn My son has a murmur he is 4. my older son had a murmur also. with my older one I never knew he had a murmur until 2 years ago when his doctor said it was gone.

I currently have pneumonia and blood pressure elevated 149/84, pulse 84, oc level 96 wt. 162. had a fever between 99.6 ,102.4 past three days.

410903 tn?1209588402 My 6 year old daugther was born with a heart murmur, I was told she would grow out of if. She has never had a problem until now, She has been coming home from school everday with chest pain. So I brought her to the doctor today and she said it is either acid reflux or something to do with the heart murmur (that I thought went away). What do you thing it could be? She is having the pain after lunch (baked potatoe and bar-b-q everyday) and then she goes to P.E. and then the nurse....
Avatar f tn I had rheumatic fever as a child (1960) but don't know if there are differences in how the disease effects children or adults. I remember all too well some of the symptoms you mention like the aching joints and not having any energy. I had a heart murmur as a child but it hasn't been heard for at least 20 years. I was on once a month Bicyllin from age 6 - 25. I became a medical technologist, partly because of the testing that I had to have done back then.
