pneumonia

Avatar f tn Two of the times we were sent home and told to rest and keep up on fluids. The third visit he was finally given a chest XRay which confirmed severe pneumonia. He has been in the ICU for 3 days now and has rapidly deteriorated. The prognosis is lesions/ nodules surrounding the heart that need to be removed which they are unable to do until his pneumonia clears up. There is an apparent Staph infection of one of the nodules inside a ventricle of the heart.
Avatar n tn m very upset that hepatitis b vaccination was not recommendation when he was a baby. (1978) He remembered being hospitalized at the age of 7 with pneumonia. Could this have been a misdiagnosis of pneumonia instead of hepatitis b? One shot of I think the globulin injection (i think that is what it is called) would have cured him from this illness if it was diagnosed and his shot record evaluated in 1990 would have told them that he does not have teh hepatitis b vaccine.
Avatar m tn t know if this is kidney infection. I had this when I was young, and I was hospitalized. Is your daughter in the hospital? If so, doctors shoud be able to determine this.
Avatar f tn There can be honest disagreement among experts about the management of RML atelectasis, bronchiectasis and recurrent pneumonia, despite appropriate, intense medical treatment, in young children with a normal immune system. There is general agreement, however that, when localized bronchiectasis, especially of the RML, becomes refractory, more severe or resistant to medical management, lobar resection may be warranted.
Avatar n tn anyone else mat decided to do a runner after 6months and days he's too young to be a dad n he's 29 ...
454286 tn?1205883067 He was taking Flow Vent 2 x a day and Albuterol inhaler 4x a day during a flare up. The kicker in all this is it all started in July of 2007 after a bout of Croup. He recovered from that but after that every time he got a cold he would cough till he vomited. And in November he was never able to recover from it. He literally coughed from November till March. Everytime the coughs would get bad is when he would vomit. He actually figured out a way to cough without it hurting him so much.
Avatar f tn If you guys are a young couple he is probably scared and doesnt know how to show his emotions boys are stupid like that. Once he sees the first ultrasound maybe he will lighten up. I hope everything goes well for you two!
Avatar m tn that would last this long? Does trich usually manifest in men as bladder irritation - with inflamed femoral nodes?
Avatar f tn I'm a 32 year old male in Canada. I'm 185lb,5'9". I've had a dull chest pain on my left side right under my armpit area and around to the center of the chesty for the past 4 months. I've been ignoring it as it was such a dull pain I'd almost call it a sensation instead of pain. So I had the flu last week as did my whole family. I was hit hard, very weak, major headache, neck and back ache, fever. Never developed much coughing but felt a bit phlegm.
Avatar m tn There’s nothing wrong with you. And, no, it's not just older men who experience this. In fact, erections come and go and have a mind of their own! You’ve just convinced yourself there’s something amiss, and now you’ve created a viscous circle. As soon as your penis didn’t do exactly what you wanted, you started to worry. Sex is all about what’s going on in your head. The more you worry, the more your penis isn’t going to cooperate. In fact, it can be downright rebellious! You need to relax.
Avatar f tn THOUGHT I'D SEE HOW EVERYONE IS DOING,BEFORE SOMEONE SENDS OUT THE SEARCH PARTY!!!!!!!

Avatar n tn First of all, when a man has a vasectomy, he may feel lingering pain for quite some time, which, of course, may affect his desire for sex. It's difficult to get turned on when you're in pain. In addition, some men find they need a period of time to adjust to the idea of vasectomy--not being able to produce children. Even if they feel fine about it before the surgery, they might be beset by thoughts that they've somehow become less masculine afterwards.
Avatar f tn My ex boyfriend is 21 I'm 18 ... I found out I was pregnant 3 days before I left the state/a weeks and a half after we broke up.... And now I'm 6 weeks and he has changed for the worst. He keeps being a jerk threatening me and all this and I don't wanna stress about it. I do love him. And I know he wouldn't ever hurt me, but his actions confuse me. He knows he's the dad. He just idk. How do I determine what to do?
Avatar f tn E 6x days ago with sever stomach pains. Since she has been in she has been diagnosed with a severe bowel infection, pneumonia and from yesterday her heart rate has dropped to 42. Today she woke up and her heart rate is now 36/38- I understand this is VERY dangerous. The doctors have absolutely NO idea what could be causing it. Apparently its not her medication (antibiotics/ steroids) its not a heart murmur or anything else obvious, she also feels very dizzy and has chest pains- she is ONLY 27!
Avatar n tn Double pneumonia together with CHF and bradycardia is rough. If you have a good hospital, she'll be treated with strong antibiotics, lasix, probably a healthy dose of steroids and they should give her meds to help her heart rate, or possible put a pacer in, if it doesn't come up on its own. She is young but very sick right now. Keep a positive attitude and be there. I have seen this many times on the unit. They fixed all the ones I saw!!!!!!
Avatar f tn my father died in 1976 at age 34, he was in very good health, not over weight or any other problems that i know of. he did have pneumonia twice within a few months of his death. he was very sick 3 days before he died and had beed to 3 different hospitals and they all sent him home. on his autopsy report it said that he died of myocardio infarction. after all these years i still can't believe this. how could a healthy young man die of a heart attack.
Avatar n tn Just a quick follow up question regarding the answer you gave me Dr. I have found a couple of online articles stating that Ribavirin has either: little or no HIV effect.
Avatar m tn I'd only say that a few people have posted on the mental health forum for Dr. Gould about the elderly being put on anti-depressants without any permission at all, causing the patient to go nuts. I think these homes vary widely in quality and probably depending on the physician in charge. Most nurses I've known think docs are a bit reckless with the meds. But it's hard to tell.

Avatar n tn Two weekends ago I woke up with the usual backache associated with pneumonia. I get it twice a year, so on Monday I called my doctor and went in. I was not seen by the doctor but was given prescriptions for the pneumonia and an order to get x-rays done. On Thursday I got the call that the x-rays did not show pneumonia and to stop taking the medication. On Friday I was worse so I went to the ER. That's where they told me I dislocated my ribs from coughing due to the pneumonia.....
Avatar f tn I'm 18 , my boyfriend is 17 . We are expecting our first child. I'm 14 weeks and3 days. My boyfriend and I had the perfect relationship before I got pregnant. But now we live like 30 minutes away from eachother and things are so stressful. He says he wants to be there for our child but he doesn't want to be in a relationship anymore. This just came about last week but I haven't seen him in almost 3 months.
Avatar f tn ER visit did reveal Bacterial Pneumonia in lower right lung treated with two hours of IV antibiotics and 4 days of Zythromax (sputum tested). Right chest pain subsided during IV treatment and fever came down too. (My apologies for not mentioning that in the previous post).
