Avatar n tn I had hernia surgery 3 yrs ago and have had either pain in my side, I can feel the intestine swell up and like a knife in my side, or I have charlie horses in my diaphragm. It moves around and I can hardly stand up. Both pains or at least an 8, and I KNOW pain. Had several catscans, ultrasounds, colonoscopy. Nothing wrong with me. Tired of going to Dr. to tell me I'm fine. Yes, they think you're making it up.
Avatar f tn If you decide that in the best interest of both horses, and your children and family, that you cannot keep these horses (best idea), please let me know, as there are particular "right" ways to find new homes for these horses (the guy who sold them to you did it the "wrong" way), so that they don't end up in a home where they are neglected or are sent to auction and sold to the killer-buyers to be slaughtered for "gourmet" meals in other countries.

Avatar n tn trauma to the eye or head, space occupying masses of the orbit, infection or inflammation. Infection or inflammation may have originated in the eyelid, or tissues surrounding the eye, such as the sinuses or tooth roots. The prognosis of this disease and successful treatment will depend on the cause of the eye abnormality, which must be ascertained by a veterinary ophthalmologist.
Avatar f tn It got to the point with me that it happened every morning and once I got rid of it I'd have another one a couple secs later, they'd wake me up out of my sleep. There could be other causes for them but I'm not sure, mine was because I wasn't drinking enough water.
Avatar m tn Hi, I went back to get another blood test done in a sexual health clinic. The doctor reckoned that I probably have a gut infection which I have to go back to my normal GP about. She said that this could be causing my white tongue as well as stress and prescribed an oral medication for this. I have to wait a few days for the results of the test but she said not to worry too much about HIV. If I am negative she will bring me back again for a test 3 months after the last possible exposure to HIV.
Avatar n tn I am also a medical student. I suffered extensive muscle twitches from head to toe which I instantly focused on and thought that I had the worst possible diagnosis ever, ALS. I was so convinced, I had numerous appointments with my GP, MRI and CT scans and all were negative. The diagnosis was Benign Fasiculation Syndrome (apparently more common in medical students), which I experience daily but I know it's totally benign.
Avatar f tn This is very common and is a result of your vagus nerve being stimulated by the coughing resulting in a sudden drop in blood pressure as it temporarily causes your heart to pump less efficiently causing less blood to go to your brain. The drop in BP causes your symptom of feeling faint, it is very common and completely normal.
Avatar n tn Hello and hope you are doing well. The other causes for long term cough besides asthma are GERD and post nasal drip from allergies. GERD is gastro esophageal reflux disease where the stomach acids come back into the esophagus and spill into the wind pipe causing cough. Treatment with antacids will help neutralize the acids. Post nasal drips can occur with sinusitis and throat infections. Giving up cigarettes will abolish smoker's cough in 90% of people.
Avatar n tn ____________ These muscle cramps can have many possible causes including hormonal imbalances, dehydration, low levels of potassium or calcium in the blood, side effects of medication, or, more seriously, diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and neuropathy. ____________ It also mentions that they are often seen during pregnancy. I sure had them then.
Avatar f tn is it at all possible to have some kind of allergy to the night air? my grandson is fine during the day, but as soon as the evening comes around, he starts coughing..and is sometimes up all night coughing...to the point of throwing up...then fine in the morning..he's three years old. regular cough remedies seem to do nothing..
Avatar n tn Once you have an attack (coughing fit) of coughing and are unable to breathe you will feel a vibrating buzz in your body, you will by reflex lay or stretch backwards, and unless you can mentally tell yourself to relax and breathe you will black out. My wife tells me it is a period of 2seconds to 3 minutes, but once I am non compus I start to breathe in shallow breaths and can quite easily be awoken with gentle speech. We have visited doctors many times with no honest, simple remedy.
Avatar f tn What are the causes for calf charley horses during the third trimester? Only happens after I've been sleeping for awhile or when I'm about to wake up.

Avatar m tn m on oxygen, and I have spells of hard coughing.
Avatar n tn I too get a feeling of pins and needles.Sometimes when I cough it's a whole body effect sometimes it's in the back sometimes it's in the chest, but most times it's in both.
Avatar f tn Hello forum members: I'm concerned because I have noticed that I tend to cough more these days. When I take in a deep breath thru my mouth--it triggers a dry cough. If I take in a deep breath thru my nose--then there is no trigger to cough. It's just breathing via my mouth that does it--mainly on deep breaths. Sometimes, I'll just cough periodically though through-out the day due to a sense of tickle in my chest/throat area that kinda forces me to cough.
Avatar f tn Hi, welcome to the forum, your symptoms are suggestive of sinusitis. The causes of these are bacterial infection like streptococcal, staphylococcal, Tuberculosis, Bronchiectasis and Fungal infections. This can be associated with postnasal drip and throat clearing. This can in turn irritate the throat lining. Other important causes are allergic rhinosinusitis, acid reflux etc.
Avatar f tn The in-utero foal takes a ton out of the mare. You may be surprised that the foal will come out looking fine, while the mare is emaciated. The other thing to consider is that if the mare does not have adequate nutrition, she will run the risk of not producing milk, then the foal will not be able to nurse and get adequate nutrition.
Avatar n tn for about 2months now I have had a cough, lots of mucus, wheezing, when I cough now i pee on myself which is embarrasing.
Avatar n tn Treatment of pythiosis, a fungal-like organism in horses and dogs, that causes severe local allergic reaction. However, human pythiosis- though rare, has emerged as an important parafungal disease. To prevent transmission, try to avoid exposure to standing water which could be the source of infection. Eliminating these specific areas may also help. Take care and best regards.
