Avatar n tn These can include high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) caused by compression of blood vessels by scar tissue, or right sided heart failure, due to the heart having to pump harder to circulate blood through the lungs.7 Any of these things can lead to the cause of death. Patients with IPF can die from heart failure, respiratory failure, or collapsed lungs.
1322157 tn?1279656681 It is like a death - the death of your 'normal' life. And then you go through all the stages or mourning: Denial - this can't be my life, there has to be a cure Anger - Why me??!! (or you have anger towards the doctor, the person driving the car who hit you, etc...) Bargaining - I will do ANYTHING to make it better and the pain go away! Depression - Because you realize this is now your life and there is nothing to fix it.
Avatar f tn If depression levels are dangerous to the point of loss of health, persuade them to go to a doc for medication to balance them out a little. Other than that, just be there.
Avatar n tn Even if you are found to have cancer there are different types of cancer and stages or grades of cancer. A lot of your outcome will depend on the size of the tumor, whether the tumor cells are well differentiated meaning they are slow growing and almost complete in structure or poorly differentiated meaning they are not well organized and grow faster, whether you have positive lymph nodes, perineural invasion, etc. See a surgeon, have a biopsy, and wait for the pathology.
Avatar m tn So far from day 1 through day 18, I have started off with fatigue and loss of appetite which then added on to mild fever ranging in the 99.2 to 99.8. Then maybe for the last week of the 18 days so far I have had headaches. My appetite has come back and my fever has finally come down a couple days ago but I still have fatigue and headaches. Am I at risk for Herpes? I have been very paranoid and do not know the intensity of the tingling, itching, redness, sensitiveness, etc...
Avatar f tn No. We wouldn't go through 48 or more weeks of misery to get rid of the virus if it make the liver worse.
Avatar n tn When you state that if the doctors had only recognized that you were experiencing withdrawl symptoms, it could have saved you "years of torment." From that, am I correct in assuming you've been on Xanax for years? If that IS the case and you've gone off the Xanax cold turkey, I would strongly suggest you see the doctor who prescribed this med for you and discuss a taper program as soon as possible.
553878 tn?1226507294 t find anything on the web. No more walking on egg shells. What I need to know is what kind of death is liver disease. Different stages, pain involved, ability to fuction, final days, ect. Apologize to anyone this offends. Doc told me not to think about it, don't worry about that now. I wont to know. Maybe it would be better if answered in a message and not a post or if someone had a link to a page.
Avatar m tn I believe due to too much use of steroid creams for a small patch of dry skin. Is my nippke likely to be the same?
Avatar f tn I mean they stage cancer, and then people get very sick much quicker or go on for years beyond the expectation. The only thing to do is take care of your health and get blood work and biopsies when it's time to monitor your particular progression.
333672 tn?1273792789 I really can't answer your question with any certainty. In my reading I have gotten the impression that healing can occur progressively or in stages over many months to even many years. It depends on how much damage is done to the cell that maintains the integrity of the nerve fiber (axon) coming off of it. This cell is called an Oligodendrocyte. If the cell/nerve complex remains viable then theoretically the healing could occur at any time.
Avatar f tn An enlarged heart can have a number of meanings. Very often the term is used to explain LVH, which is enlargement of the left Ventricle. It is not necessarily painful. You give a small background description , so its difficult to know whats happening. The person may be having complications as a result of an enlargement? Sometimes an enlargement causes heart failure. In the advanced stages , failure has symptoms of varying degrees.
867096 tn?1252202513 An autopsy revealed that every physical sign of his body indicated he had frozen to death. And yet the refrigeration unit of the car was inoperative and the temp indicated 55 degrees. Nick had killed himself by the power of his own thoughts. I thought this was a powerful story. It is amazing the power of our mind. This story is from a book called The Success Principles (I did not write the whole story, just in my words and it is a true story).
976897 tn?1379167602 I have been watching a documentry presented by an anaesthetist, regarding lowering body temperature during surgery. It all came about when a woman Doctor in Norway was skiing and fell through some cracked ice, trapping herself in frozen water. It was several hours before she got to the hospital and was actually considered dead because of her pupils and having no brain activity. They put her onto a bypass machine which gradually warmed her blood and her heart actually started beating again.
Avatar n tn The medical term shock refers to the organs and tissues of the body not receiving a sufficient flow of blood. As a result of the imbalance of oxygen supply and demand, a build up of waste products occurs and can cause damage to the organs. This type of shock is known as physiological shock and can result in collapse, coma or even death if it is not treated immediately. Often when people hear disturbing news about a loved one or have endured a traumatic experience, they also suffer from shock.
1201072 tn?1289760591 This can occur as part of cirrhosis, and is manageable to some extent with meds. Be sure to mention this to the doctor; they can do a rather easy blood test to confirm this, and act appropriately.
1880594 tn?1321160655 The ER doctor told me that it would take year of stress to cause actual damage to the heart. I assume that true with most parts of the body, considering the heart is the most vital. Try to really think back to anything that has caused you suppressed anxiety?

Avatar f tn m only 20, and currently have insomnia through fear of death, having only lost one grandparent and all great grandparents still alive at the age of 90+ I have no reason to be fearing death, but I do, every waking second of every day I am contemplating my own existence, wondering why we are here and how, I have no religious or spiritual beliefs and believe that death is like being before birth, which is what scares me the most, how can such majestic creatures like humans just stop being as if the
Avatar m tn Untreated the heart will enlarge and EF will continue to decrease and the outcome is cardiac arrest (arrhythmia). There are stages of heart failure and the final stage is shortness of breath, unstable angina (chest pain without exertion), and may be bedridden with an oxygen supply. One cannot predict an individuals' longivity. I was written off 6 years ago, and feel well today. Hide the aspirin pills!
Avatar f tn Monday- mostly the same, whole day did not change the position of the body,, while breething like that, it has lasted until Thuesday evening, and I was not aware was he consciosness or not, was sitting by his side, and gently massaged him whole time.
1326947 tn?1277294765 o). I know how simple that sounds; but it worked for me 7 years ago, and I was a three pack a day puffer. Once you finally get ready to stop, it gets a lot easier, I found; that seems to be key. I had quite several times previously, and I appreciate how hard it is.
