What's A Deposition and How Do I Handle It?
You're sure that you have a legitimate medical malpractice claim, and your attorney has found experts who support you after reading your medical records. Now somebody wants to...
High creatinine and normal bun?
If the doctor hasn’t commented on it, I would ask to be referred to a nephrologidt.
Can I drink coffee after a stent?
It would probably be good to limit it to 2 cups a day, preferably after a meal, but there are no scientific studies favoring or banning caffeine after a stent.
Kidney stone stent?
Ask the urologist.

Can a woman get depressed after giving birth?
Well, of COURSE. Call your obstetrician TODAY. There are meds that are safe even if you are breastfeeding. Postpartum depression has been recognized for decades.

Go to an urgent care that can do at least a plane X-ray if not a CT and maybe some lab tests as well.
When should you go to the emergency room for high blood pressure?
It’s not an emergency room thing unless you have numbness or weakness suggesting a stroke, or chest pain or trouble breathing to suggest heart problems. Write down your blood pressure READ MORE
It’s not an emergency room thing unless you have numbness or weakness suggesting a stroke, or chest pain or trouble breathing to suggest heart problems. Write down your blood pressure readings for a couple of weeks and take them to a patient primary care doctor (internal medicine or family practice) who can prescribe medicine as needed and see you every few weeks to be sure they are keeping it under control. The doctor will probably suggest labs or other tests, but the first priority is getting the pressure down. Be honest if you have limited finances.
Is frequent urination a sign of diabetes?
Among other things. Get a urine test at the very least. Now would be a good time to find a primary care doctor.
Causes of normal TSH, low T4, and lower T3?
I think you have the right questions. I hope that starting a thyroid supplement helps you to feel better.
Does exercise lessen constipation?
Probably not as much as a high-fiber diet, but it helps some. If the constipation has just started in the last few weeks, PLEASE see your doctor.
How can you detect a heart blockage at home?
You can’t. A primary care doctor can help decide if you are at risk and order the necessary tests.
Can a neuropsychologist diagnose ADHD?
Very likely.
