Try it and see.
Cracks and scabs on nostrils when using bipap machine
Get a different mask. Really.
Why does anemia cause hair loss?
It probably is not related to the anemia, which has many possible causes. Ask your doctor about getting a basic set of labs to figure out what causes yours.
Can a hernia problem be fixed without a surgery?
Find a surgeon who specializes in minimally invasive procedures. It will take less time, require less anesthesia and be easier to recover from.
How can I tell if I have a digestive issue?
Get a colonoscopy when you turn 50. If you’re able to eat regular food without pain or diarrhea and have no blood in your bowel movements, nothing to worry about.
Do I need to go to the doctor when there is blood in my urine?
Sorry, you have to go. Make sure it's not during a menstrual period; if you're in a doctor's office, ask him/her to do a dipstick check since that gives faster results than sending READ MORE
Sorry, you have to go. Make sure it's not during a menstrual period; if you're in a doctor's office, ask him/her to do a dipstick check since that gives faster results than sending a specimen off to the lab. Depending on your age you may have to have a kidney ultrasound and perhaps a look inside of your bladder, both aimed at finding things in the CURABLE stage.
Trying to get pregnant for about 1 year but still no luck.

Help, I'm struggling with ceoliac disease.
Most groceries have whole shelves of products labeled gluten-free.
Is lupus cancer or not?
Not even close. It is caused by an over-active immune system.
How are you cleared for surgery in a blood clot risk assessment?
While there is no way to predict what the hematologist might say, a small stroke in one grandparent seems highly unlikely to put you at risk for other types of blood clot problems READ MORE
While there is no way to predict what the hematologist might say, a small stroke in one grandparent seems highly unlikely to put you at risk for other types of blood clot problems (like those in the legs which could go to your lungs). It would be cheaper to get your pre-surgery evaluation with a better family or internal medicine doctor.
Side effects of Tessalon Perles?
No, not at all. It is a (very good) suppressor of the cough reflex. Good for when you have a cough that isn't bringing up anything and just irritates your upper airways, making READ MORE
No, not at all. It is a (very good) suppressor of the cough reflex. Good for when you have a cough that isn't bringing up anything and just irritates your upper airways, making them more irritable so you cough more...If you're still worried, carry a cold drink with you and suck on hard candy--same effect and it won't make you drowsy.
What should we expect after end stage renal failure?
The American Association of Kidney Patients should be a good place to start. Encourage your friend to sign up for the transplant list if s/he is eligible.
I think I might have Petechiae. Should I see a doctor?
Unless you have unprovoked nosebleeds or gum bleeding, I would wait a few days.
Is low ferritin related to breathing problems?
Iron deficiency can cause anemia, which reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen to where it is needed. Ask your doctor what tests and/or treatments are needed now.
Why is my chest x-ray clear when I had a cough for 1 month?
X-rays only show lungs and the cough was probably in the bronchi (the tubes that lead into the lungs). You have my literal sympathy since I get this once a year.
Can I donate blood if I'm anemic?
The nice blood bank people will check your blood right then & there. If you are too anemic to donate, call your primary care doctor and get the anemia fixed.
I don’t know what’s going on. Should I be worried?
Waiting it out sounds good. Clear liquids and bland stuff like side crackers should help settle your stomach, and if you’re not better by Thursday give the doctor a call. Tea has READ MORE
Waiting it out sounds good. Clear liquids and bland stuff like side crackers should help settle your stomach, and if you’re not better by Thursday give the doctor a call. Tea has a soothing effect.
CBD and motility? Does it help?
What does your neurologist say about the controlled studies that have been done on it? Don’t jump to try it just because it’s trendy.
What's the clotting-role of basopenia and elevated neutrophils?
I would talk about it with a hematologist.
