Avatar m tn If you are concerned about radon exposure, you can use a radon detection kit to test the levels in your home. State and local offices of the EPA can also give you the names of reliable companies that can test your home (or other buildings) for radon and help you fix the problem, if needed. For more information, see the document, Radon. Asbestos Workplace exposure to asbestos fibers is an important risk factor for lung cancer.
Avatar m tn The information you provided, including speculation on possible exposure to Radon suggests that you are probably on the “cusp” of the screening guidelines. The first thing you should do is to discuss this question with your doctor and/or a lung specialist (Pulmonologist) so that your total health status can be taken into account and, perhaps, other risk factors revealed.

Avatar f tn Did you make any changes around the time this all started? Bath soap, laundry soap, anything you can think of? Do you have a gas furnace? You might want to have your house checked for mold and have the furnace checked. This is strange that it started with your daughter 8 years ago but is just starting to effect the rest of your family now.
Avatar m tn 2) the multiple sources of everyday radiation exposure, such as radon gas, and even flying; and 3) the competing risks such as dietary, genetic and other environmental factors (such as smoking). Nevertheless, the medical community (for instance the AHA - Gerber et al, Circulation 2009; 119: 1056-1065) has called for such studies to help better understand these risks.

Avatar f tn Therefore, management lies in preventing exposure to smoke and dust, whether in the form of smoking tobacco or exposure to industrial dusts in the work environment. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn Elevated catecholamines can be seen with adrenal pheochromocytoma or extra-adrenal paraganglioma.
20894306 tn?1582104858 That was just an example. I wasn't suggesting you have to be a fireman to be exposed to toxins in our environment that can lead to cancer down the road. You just have to be alive in a modern industrial society that allows toxins to be spread as a byproduct of selling products. That's how we live.
Avatar n tn Do you live anywhere near an area that is known to have radon gas? Animals are a LOT more sensitive to these things than we are, and the fact that your dog is acting strangely INSIDE would make me worry that there is something in there that could eventually also adversely affect the humans in the family. Carbon monoxide detectors only cost a few dollars at places like Lowe's and Home Depot, and I believe there is also something similar to detect radon gas.
Avatar m tn I haven't use any medicines. I have good food nutritions. But, I have regular fart problem; I gas up regularly which has made me uncomfortable to be in group/social functions. My nose is block. I can't have good sleep at night (hardly sleep for 3/4 hours after waking up 3/4 times at night). During day time, I can't sleep at all. I also lost my weight (nearly 5-10Kgs); is it a symptoms of HIV ? What stage is this ? please help.
6403762 tn?1381712518 I loved the travel system I got for my daughter, so I got another one for my son! Travel systems are the way to go!
Avatar m tn s been 3 weeks since I stoppped the medication (4 weeks since potential exposure) and I still have extreme gas. I also tend to get diarrhea every once in a while. NOTE: I have been constantly worried since this that I have HIV. Work and school have been crazy, and I have been worried about that. I have a Dr's appt to get tested in two days (going to ask for a PCR test - as I believe that is for early detection) and another Dr's appt next week for a complete physical.
Avatar m tn The problem was that what I though was an empty cartridge still contained a good amount of gas. When I first started to loosen the cartridge I heard some hissing but thought it was just some residual gas getting out. As I loosened it a bit more gas came out with generous flow. I quickly tightened it back so the actual leak was only for a couple of seconds. However the smell of the gas was quite intense and quickly spread across our house.
Avatar m tn s been the second week and my cold has gone away, HOWEVER, i have intense abdominal cramps, tons of bloating, tons of gas, to the point where as soon as I eat something it gives me cramps and gas. My stomach just has not been normal and is in a lot of pain. My doctor says he thinks I may have a parasite because I travelled to Cuba a year ago and had a parasite. My thing is, I took the medication so why would the parasite still be there an entire year later?
Avatar f tn Gave a women oral sex a few months ago..three weeks after exposure had was throwing up and direaha for two days. Soon after I started having excessive gas which still remains today, so I have had that for about a month . What was my hiv risk and any thoughts on my symptoms, could that be a sign if hiv?
Avatar m tn Is there a normal course of action for a patient complaining of an acute exposure to an unknown noxious gas/fume? Symptoms include irritation to the upper respiratory tract, watering eyes, noxious exhaled gas after exposure, possible lesions on lung. What should a doctor do to investigate this patient? What lab tests could be performed? What treatments might aid the body in ridding itself of related toxicity? Thank you!
598816 tn?1219542566 t cause immediate health issues has been known to cause increased incidences of cancer. We had our radon tested in our house before we bought it and it was way high, so the sellers had to do a radon mitigation system that is installed under the house to help vent it and then it tested near to 0 in the house (anything under 4ppm is considered by the government as safe, though aiming for under 2 is advisable). Glad that you found out something that can help your family.
Avatar m tn /or feet, muscle cramps in legs when I stretch out and also out of the blue, headaches in back of head/base of neck, increased sweating and feeling hot, digestive problems such as gas and bloating, along with constant heart burn/acid reflux. I also get this weird feeling in my head that I am going to almost faint or have a seizure when I am concentrating really hard or reading something.
431151 tn?1204124882 Sometimes I actually find myself falling asleep but being aware of my surroundings. I also have this chronic gas problem where I fart/burp constantly (my fiance says I fart way more then a women should), and It seems that when I eat it only takes about 30-40 minutes before I am ready to have a bowell movement. I also have a bowell movement about 5-8 times a day. Not to mention the gas/bowell movements smell really bad. My doctors don't seem to find this alarming, but I do.
Avatar f tn I also have really bad gas. Is this consistent with any ars seroconversion symptoms? Please help.
Avatar n tn Nothing of what you describe is typical of hiv infection.....relax.....just remember next time that if 5 mins of fun results in 3+ months of worry, it is not worth it...
Avatar n tn With all these symptoms and my type of exposure can you please help me in advising out what type of STDs I may have acquired from this exposure and what the chances are? I'm married and have not touched my wife since the exposure. I cannot live with myself if I give her anything from my stupid mistake. PLEASE HELP!
