  • How do I determine if one of my kidneys just failed?

    The way to determine if one of your kidneys has failed or is functioning poorly would begin with blood work to assess kidney function, usually BUN (Blood urea Nitrogen) and Creatinine and urinalysis to determine abnormal levels of protein or other substances being excreted in the urine. If those were abnormal, then other tests of kidney function, such as ultrasound, dye excretion studies, etc., would be considered. Typically, kidney failure does not cause flank or side pain; however, other causes such as kidney stones or obstruction of the urinary tract from the kidney to the bladder could be responsible. Concerta can cause increased blood pressure, which could impact kidney function if not adequately monitored, but nothing has been reported, to date, of direct damage to a kidney by Concerta or other behavioral stimulant medications. As for the concern of having your kidney removed, this is rarely required for a failed or poorly functioning kidney, unless there is a tumor involved or the kidney is causing significant issues with your health. If the pain continues or abnormalities, such as blood, clots or significant abnormal color, are seen in your urine, you should be promptly evaluated by your Primary Care Physician or an Urgent Care facility READ MORE

  • Should I go to ER for heart palpitations?

    If the palpitations are persistent or becoming more frequent, are accompanied by chest pain/tightness, dizziness, or shortness of breath, you should go to the ER, and consider having EMS transport you if you do not have someone who can drive you as you should not drive if you are at risk of losing consciousness. If the palpitations are sporadic and not associated with significant symptoms, you should be seen by your Primary Care Physician, or a Cardiologist if your Primary Physician is unable to see you or is not comfortable evaluating these symptoms, as soon as possible.

  • When should I take my child to the ER for covid-19?

    You should take her if she develops difficulty breathing, is unable to maintain adequate fluid intake to remain hydrated, is unable to stop vomiting, or if she appears to be significantly ill/does not improve with care at home. If she has underlying medical issues such as asthma or Type I Diabetes which you are unable to adequately control at home. READ MORE
