My Answers

Do I need a heart transplant if I have heart failure?
No. Heart Failure is a term used when the output and input are uneven concerning work of heart. All people who receive transplant have some form of heart failure. But everyone with heart failure does not necessarily need a heart transplant. READ MORE
Can the COVID vaccine cause neurological issues?
It depends on the issue. Any vaccine or injection of medicine can cause local neurological issues if administered incorrectly. If the issue is more global (involves the whole body), not a messenger RNA vaccine. The mechanism of conferring immunity is not likely to cause any lasting side effects. READ MORE
Loss of taste and smell?
We are learning new things about coronavirus every day. The smell and taste changes are a reflection of inflammation of the path and area of the brain where cranial nerve #1 nucleus is located. I have had patients report a slow recovery to this symptom and some have a long term distortion.The distortion is a sign the nerves and pathways are recovering. If the damage has only occured in the axon or wiring/path of the nerve, the nerve works on recovery at a rate of 1 mm per 1-2 days. If the damage is in the neuronal or "control center" of the nerve, it will only recover if another nerve is recruited and "trained" for the job. That takes years. Keep your b complex vitamins supplemented to support the regeneration process. Be patient. I wish I had more of an answer for you. I am glad you survived the infection. READ MORE
This morning I woke up with a sharp pain in my chest whenever I breathe in too deep?
The most common respiratory symptom in those under the age of 18 yrs is chest pain. You need to see a doctor to get a clear answer to this problem. You may have a mild case of asthma as long as you have a healthy heart but make sure it is not COVID. READ MORE
I have a low grade fever after the flu shot?
When you receive any vaccine, it needs to be "processed" by your body. Most vaccines have 1-2 days of inflammation from this (low grade fever, body aches, fatigue, etc) This keeps your immune system busy for a few days. If your body is working at protecting you from a low grade infection when you are vaccinated, the infection wins and you get sick. You probably have an atypical bacterial infection. If it persists, you need to see a doctor. READ MORE
Ear infections?
Yes, you need to be examined. From what you describe, I believe you have a sinus infection. READ MORE
Hole in stomach after missed shot of meth?
My experience with meth is very limited. I suspect you have a burn due to the caustic substances used to make meth. You need to be examined by a doctor. READ MORE
I'm experiencing throat lumps?
Usually, the patient is correct. Go to a doctor for exam and treatment. READ MORE
Antibody test?
The coronavirus class has been around us for a very long time and we understand that no antibodies to any coronavirus last for more than 9 months. Prior to the pandemic, infections caused by coronavirus were mild. This is the first coronavirus that we know of that has deadly potential. Even if you had COVID19 in the recent past, the antibodies will not reliably protect for more than 90 days after recovery from the natural infection. The natural infection is riskier because of rogue proteins that can develop bringing the potential for clotting, inflammation of the brain and nervous system. This is not likely to happen with vaccination. Antibodies generated from vaccination appear to reach high enough levels that protection from an acute infection appears to last 6 to 9 months. There are risks with every choice in life. You should choose the route you are most comfortable with regarding your care and be comfortable with the consequences of that choice. READ MORE
Low HGB and HCT?
When you report your iron level was normal, was it iron saturation? This is the most accurate assessment of iron stores in the body. Iron levels are very sensitive to iron content of recent meals. READ MORE
High blood pressure?
When you see your doctor, ask for sleep study. Your lower number of bp is concerning.This may be indicating more than just essential hypertension. READ MORE
What drink helps an upset stomach?
Dependent on the cause of an upset stomach, the following are helpful: Nausea: ginger beer or ale, ginger or mint teas or candies Heart burn: non-caffeinated non-alcoholic carbonated drink Gassiness: unsweetened tea Diarrhea: water, tea Constipation: non-caffeinated drink If upset stomach is accompanied by loss of appetite, bleeding from mouth or rectum, or rigid or painful belly, you need to be seen by a doctor. Doc READ MORE
How painful is rectal prolapse surgery?
Pain is perceived differently from person to person, so it is difficult to give you a specific answer. However, in general, the anal area has a lot of nerve endings, so if you are having surgery involving the anus, that will be tender. If the surgery is higher and involving more of the colon itself, your level of pain will depend on the approach. Less invasive procedures involving the Davinci Robot are less painful in general when compared to an open surgery. It is best to ask your doctor for more specifics. READ MORE
How can I increase my hemoglobin after delivery?
You cannot rush bone marrow. Best to tank up on iron, folic acid, B12 and vitamin C throughout you pregnancy. It helps to take this in addition to your prenatal vitamin well into your post partum time. All of your red blood cells are replaced in 120 days when the environment is optimized. READ MORE
What causes pain while urinating?
Several issues can cause pain with passage of urine. The most common is a urinary tract infection or UTI. Other causes include but are not limited to a fungal or yeast infection affecting the urethra, stones, strictures, hormonal changes of menopause to name a few. READ MORE
