appendicitis

Avatar m tn He told me that he had pain in his mid-abdomen when young too, not continuing, but on and off. And that he is very tired in the time period around his stroke until now. (start 2008) What could be the problem? Thank you so much!!
Avatar n tn I just got back to the US after being abroad for 34 months and am leaving again in a month. I was in the Peace Corps and lived in a rural village in central asia and lived a rather high stress life. But why would my blood pressure still be so high?
Avatar m tn My doctor was very surprised because he had never seen atrial fibrillation in a young adult. My doctor prescribed digoxin and my heart rhythm returned to normal. About six months ago I moved to a different state. I recently went to a new doctor to have my digoxin levels checked and he noticed that my afib had returned. He was concerned because digoxin would not have been his choice of treatment and he said I should have also been taking aspirin or a blood thinner.
Avatar f tn How old is your son? Are these baby teeth or adult teeth? I wouldn't pull any adult teeth unless absolutely necessary. Yes, the wisdom teeth could potentially fill in that space but there are complications with that. As the wisdom teeth come in, they don't move sideways into the space but rather, they tilt in and lean in sideways which causes problems with the jaw bone.
Avatar n tn You have mentioned that you were diagnosed with appendicitis. Was an appendectomy done? In this case I would suggest that an abdominal ultrasound may be done to ascertain the cause of the pain. A baseline urinalyis and urine culture may also be helpful to determine if infections or urinary tract stones may be present. I do not think the fungal infection has been causing the pain. Unless the area is swollen and severely infected the tenderness may be noted when the skin is palpated.
Avatar m tn Worry isn't going to do anything useful. Better to keep in mind that in a structurally normal heart, doctors say that PVC's don't expose you to much more risk of death than you would experience if you had no PVC's. If you have concerns talk to your doctor about your symptoms. They can help you better understand any symptoms of pain or heart palpitations you may be experiencing.
136986 tn?1232399830 Am I too young to be getting Ovarian cysts? I get a LOT of them. I was diagnosed with them when I was 13 (they thought I had appendicitis, but it was cysts). I know doctors say most women get them, but can't feel them, but I can. And it doesn't matter when in my cycle, they come in between and during my period. A lot of them grow rather large, which is why I can feel them, and almost ALL of them burst. And the pain is excruciating.
Avatar f tn Abdominal pain can be one of the most difficult to diagnosis. In part that is due to the multiple organs in our abdominal and pelvic cavity. Pain can be referred, meaning originating in one location and felt in another. Diagnosing can be puzzling, long and elusive. Hang in there for your daughter and try to be optimistic though I know how very difficult that can be. Is your daughter being treated at a large teaching hospital?
Avatar n tn re very young for this to be cancer. Have they checked you for appendicitis? It causes pain to go down your leg, and pain between your ovary area and navel. I have never heard of anyone having sciatica pain with colon cancer, I think this was more of a coincidence with the lady you speak of. A blood test would tell your doctor if this is appendicitis. I have seen cases where it lasts quite awhile before becoming really inflammed.
Avatar f tn I live in Canada and I see them everywhere they look so comfy to snuggle in haha but I don't have the balls to buy one lmao
5670884 tn?1374749288 My sister had appendicitis when she was pregnant. If the pain doesn't go away after a while, look up the symptoms of appendicitis and see if that sounds possible, and if so go to the doc.
Avatar n tn Benign dermoid ovarian cysts uncommonly cause symptoms in young girls. It is estimated that they constitute 0.35% of all tumors occurring in children of both sexes less than 15 years of age. Symptoms produced by the cysts may mimic other intra-abdominal disease, and in three of the four cases reported in this series the girls were initially considered to have either acute appendicitis or infection of the urinary tract. All three had a pelvic mass palpable per rectum.
Avatar n tn You are ascribing adult sexual behavior to a four-year old. That is where you are wrong. She is not indulging in adult sexual behavior, but the touchy-feely curiosity of a very young child. However, you don't want her to display herself or her little friends since this could cause many problems socially. I would tell her that "ladies" don't do that. And make sure she keeps her underwear on.
Avatar n tn On a 1-10 scale, the pain is a 4, almost feels like a deep cramp you would get from exercise. They happen in about 3 places in my chest, the upper part of my sternum, and the lower and mid sections of my right ribs. At first I thought it was just a muscle strain, but the pain feels too deep and it's been happening for too long.
Avatar f tn I have read about kids being a few years behind in maturity, but not really about young adults or even older adults. I am 23 and was diagnosed with ADHD at 19 after going to a large university away from home and not being able to handle the freedom of time, class demands, partying, etc. I have graduated now after changing my major a zillion times and still have no idea what I want to do. It's like I am in a constant search for more stimulation and something to get my brain engaged.
Avatar f tn Any parents out there who have dealt with a non-compliant young adult that might have suggestions for us?
Avatar m tn m a 19 year male college student, and I have had this problem for several years. At random moments, usually pretty rarely, I will get a sudden, sharp pain in the lower right area of my abdomen. It will cause me to panic for the brief second that it lasts (i'll clutch it etc..), because it feels really severe. It always goes away though, and since it's been a problem I've had for a long time, I don't really think it's a big issue.
Avatar n tn When their kidneys begin to fail them. The main symptom is high blood pressure beginning as a young adult. why? Because your kidneys are working too hard fighting off the cysts and they are not filtering correctly. I was diagnosed with PKD in July last year after a car accident. I just happened to decide to see a friend who happened to also be a urologist as I did not have medical insurance and knew he would let me pay it out.
Avatar m tn t necessarily rule out appendix issues either - The symptoms of appendicitis can vary. It can be hard to diagnose appendicitis in young children, the elderly, and women of childbearing age. The first symptom is often pain around your belly button. (See: Abdominal pain) The pain may be minor at first, but it becomes more sharp and severe. Your appetite will be reduced and you may have nausea, vomiting, and a low fever.
