Avatar f tn 16). How did he come to that conclusion and whats next for me. I've read in the forums that this arrythmia may be precipitated by excitement or episodic, whats up with that ? Also, where would I find information resources that has a little more meat to it than the usual stuff..
Avatar n tn He also told me that with a cavitation lesion there is a slight hole in the middle which also makes him suspect valley fever because valley fever creates holes in lesions and cancer stays one solid mass. He put me on something called Fluconazole 400mg a day and told me that we will do another CT scan in a few months.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the input. Stopping Fluconazole is not an option for me at this time. I should mention I have a ICD. It was placed in May of this year. It shocked me 3 weeks ago while I was playing on-line video games. I think when I got excited and my heartrate rose, instead of returning to a normal hr, it reached 288 BPM, thats when the therapy was delivered. Gotta love that phrase... anyway, doctor says I can't drive for a little while...*******.
Avatar m tn m on duflucan until my coxy levels go down and I show negative for valley fever, unfortunately rest is not the way to treat valley fever, valley fever will never go away but the diflucan stops the valley fever from spreading and gives your immune system and opportunity to fight back.
Avatar f tn Valley Fever tests were negative, but the pulimologist told me that 25% of blood tests for Valley fever are negative even though the disease is present. Meanwhile, I've been subjected to a lot of radiation due to CT scans and PET, and nuclear stress tests for chest pain, all within a 6 month period.

You certainly are an odd case! Did the cardio do a right heart cath to check out your PA pressures? Just a thought....The other thing that I can think of is shunting with you...
Avatar n tn Valley fever ? Do you live or have you visited the southwest ? I've had valley fever and my fevers lasted for only several weeks. There is a blood test that can diagnose you... even if your physician has to ship the sample to a lab in the southwest.
Avatar m tn II with the last outbreak being almost two years ago, on the 15 Jul 08 I came out with what seemed like a penile yeast infection, I was treated with one fluconazole 150 and Lotrisone cream for 14 days, went away well, I also take Zocor for my hereditary high cholesterol. Around the 14th August 08 I was unusually very stressed about a business deal and later had some unusual dizziness, (It was accompanied by a short bout of dry long coughs), went away quickly..
Avatar n tn I had problems breathing for awhile. I had smoked for 35 years. I also had valley fever and T.B. I went through the year of treatment. So my lungs have been put to test I would say. I was hospitalized for two weeks. And have returned a couple of nights do to complications. Like high blood pressure, big time body cramps, and a high fever. I was sent home on oxygen. My question is. I would like to know if I'll be ever to run again with my three grandchildren? They are really all I care about.
Avatar n tn Head shaking can indicate neurologic disease such as brain inflammation or infection. Valley Fever is a fungal infection common in AZ that can infect the brain. Bulldogs are also a breed that can develop a poorly understood disorder called head bobbing, but this is diagnosed by ruling out other more serious diseases. I recommend getting the behavior on video to help the veterinarian with further diagnosis and therapy; additionally a referral to the veterinary neurologist (www.vetneuro.

Avatar m tn After 2 weeks I developed candidiasis on penis. Doc prescribed fluconazole for 10 days. On 12th day it reappeared. Doc told me to continue fluconazole for more 5 days. After finishing 15 days course I developed myalgia. I tested For Hiv 1 & 2 antibodies in the 5th week. Then I did p24 ag/ab in 6th week. 8th week I again repeated the hiv 1&2 antibody test. I repeated the p24 test again in the 10th week all tests were negative.
Avatar n tn The only symptom I have right now is a very red labia and a little bit of redness in the crease of the leg as well as a fever for the past week. I had both the gynecologist and dermatologist looking at it. Did not think it was herpes but I have read that symptoms are not that obvious. I might have cut myself on the labia with infected scissors when trying to trim hair. I think I also had the symptoms of fungus in the crease of the leg. So if I recapitulate I should do a wound culture.
Avatar m tn 2 so i was given fluconazole and some medication for the spasm which i took religiously but the fever kept going on and off continiously and the candiasis become very nasty with more broke out of rashes until recently i began to cough out blood and i was taken to hospital, the hospital took it seriously and made me an appointment with an infectious diseases specialist with which the hospital wrote a later that i should go back to my home country until i am medically fitted then only i can come b
Avatar f tn was found during my annual) and my dr (who is new and i do not normally see) prescribed me diflucan for 12 weeks, one pill, once a week. I have never heard of this or treated a yeast infection with diflucan like this before and am starting to think this doctor I saw was a quack/slave to drug company kind of doctor. Has anyone ever been prescribed diflucan this way?
Avatar f tn My16 year old daughter has been running fever for 9 weeks, she also has extreme fatigue, headaches, night sweats, and muscle weakness (difficulty going down the stairs). She has been tested for mono (cytomegalovirus antibody, & Epstein barr) TB( QuatinFeron Gold) Toxoplasmosis Antibody, Rickettsial Antibody, Valley fever ( CF Titer and Coccidiodes Antibody) and chest X-ray - all negative as her illness started with respiratory issues. She then started having cardiac issues.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever taken fluconazole? It's a tablet you take (only one) for yeast infection. My pharmacist said it's not for pregnant women but when I called the doc and told him what the pharmacist said he said it was ok to take. Has anyone else been prescribed this? I'm worried.
Avatar f tn my dr gave me fluconazole for my infection ,3 pills in 3 days .should we skip or take it regular.because she told me take it wednesday ,thursday ,and sunday,,thank..
Avatar m tn Years ago I got valley fever so there is a calcified nodule in my left lung. I had bronchitis in June 2013 on that x-ray it only showed my calcified nodule caused by my valley fever. In early September I went to the emergency room for chest pain after a fall. The Dr. did a chest x-ray and found a 4mm non-calcified nodule that wasn't there on the prior x-rays. I have lost my mother at the age of 37 from lung cancer. I have been a smoker for 31 yrs. My pulmonary Dr.
Avatar n tn Possible valley fever, tumor and pleural effusion. We will take him for thoracentesis today to see if they can reduce the difficulty he has breathing and they will test the fluid to narrow the diagnosis down. I was given oral antibiotics to give him but he wont eat ANYTHING :( Not sure what to do. They suggested a few things but they all involve him willing eating ??
Avatar f tn My daughter has have a low grade on and off fever for about 6 weeks now. she had a chest xray done on thursday and showed pneumonia. She started on amoxicillin on thursday and azithromycin on friday. She had a fever again on monday night after her shower. today she felt warm to the touch but normal rectal and tympanic temp. shouldn't the fevers be gone by now because of the antibiotics? We live near phoenix az and she got tested for valley fever the results are still pending.
