Someone had to drive him back to Lagos, we went to the hospital for general check up the diagnosis is he had a stroke due to negligence of the sugar level and blood pressure . He speaks fluently as before and other mannerisms before this incident haven't changed. His only problem is
My worries are his treatments(prescribed , herbal, meal adjustment) aren't very effective, I could say he has improved because he can move his left leg forward and aid himself move while holding onto the wall or someone and can take some steps without any help but his left hand no improvement, struggles sleeping at night.
His Sugar level fluctuates between 284 - 410(fasting and 2hrs meals), blood pressure is within 140- 187 fluctuates as well.
When I say fluctuates I mean it has gone above or below those ranges.
He's 57 , he had a history with diabetes when he was poisoned at india then his sugar level perked as high as 900...

PLEASE IF YOU HAVE AN HISTORY OR EXPERIENCE ABOUT SIMILAR SITUATION PLEASE SHARE REMEDIES PRACTICAL ONES AND HOPEFULLY COST EFFECTIVE ,

*BRING STRENGTH TO THE UNMOVABLE BODY PARTS (STROKE EFFECT).

If probably you choose to carry on with the detoxification have you done any test or screening to be aware of a loss in function of your liver or kidney?

Yobamzee:
Hi doc, lately my left eye has been producing mucus and i find it difficult to check my phone at night with the lowest brightness I feel pain and also I find it difficult opening the eye to rays of light. I used CHLORAMPHENICOL eye drops but it not working at all. Please what what I use. Thanks

Please seek help from the local medical center around.
It may be inflammation with your conjunctiva either from an unsubstantial allergen, bacterial or viral.
What is the color of the mucus? What is the color of eyeball?
There is also a possibility it could be Stye and may delimit by itself or rather an infection of the gland secreting mucus substances of the eyes in an exclusively different outcome.
For the now, avoid further exposure of that eye to the eyedrop that is not effective enough. Avoid rubbing the eyes with a bare hand. Clean the eyes with a clean handkerchief if you choose too. Warm bath of the eye is advisable.

Desanta has said it all. Sometimes the way you blast your urine to the toilet can also cause it to be foamy or if you just finish treatment on urinary tract infection.

Desanta,I love this. Thumbs up.

Misspure:
Thank you so much for the answer but is there not any cream or drug to use for it,the itching is much.

Visita Plus, an homeotherapeutics collating antibiotics, antimycotics and corticosteroids will stop the itching. Use withing 7-9days. It is topical (a cream) by administration too.
Should symptom continue let me know.

IdreamOfUnicorn:
If you walk into any pharmacy store ,they might recommend something. But it's not advisable to take any pills to get fat. Every drug has its side effect.
Why not think of other options like increasing your caloric intake by 500 to 1000 calories per day. It will help you gain more pounds.
Eat more carbs like pounded yam, Fufu,eba with alot of soup.
Do not drink water before meals. It will help you eat more.
Milo and milk will help you gain weight. Especially when you prepare it to be very thick and consume before going to bed.
Snack inbetween meals. Take alot of yogurt.
But know that people come in all shapes and sizes. And our genetic makeup plays a big role on our weight. It might just be that you are naturally destined to be slim.

What pills precisely?
Whatever you think is good enough to cause a gain in weight is nothing clearcut from an advantageous use of its side-effects. This gain of weight is not reliable and in most cases cause alteration in the body systematics or operation.
For example, I wouldn't want to prescribe an antihypertensive to someone seeking a weight gain all because in the long run using of it(drug) can cause him to gain weight. That is not the essence of any of the anti hypertensive, so I will never do that.
Okay, what about drugs to reduce the thyroid activities (hyperthyroidism), having the knowledge that the thyroid gland is the main stigma of metabolism in the bod, it would have been this simple to prescribe something to affect its metabolism. This will cause a fall in the breakdown of fat and glucose and then protein. This definitely will cause a gain in body weight. But I won't prescribe any of such drug because this will expose the seeker to a more dicey situation. And so the use of Corticosteroid and why it shouldn't be prescribe, in fact so many and then the endless reason why you shouldn't.
Now, it is enough to attend to such people from psychological view, view on social and occupational medicine, dietetics, disease conditions etc.

The rest of your discourse is agreed by me as a furtherance to all I have said regarding calorie expenditure and gain.

Good evening all.
I kindly request anyone to mention on me (the link) that Dr Balogun thread on general health problems. It is going to a no-used state and I really don't want it so.

erenax:
Please which drug can I use for chest pain and internal sweating

What do you mean by internal sweating?
Does this connect with the previous question?

Also, what do you mean by internal sweating?

Sportwin:
First noticed when I was 17?

There's something hard inside when I feel it

No discharge

Went to a doctor who examined me scrotum included and said it was going to pass that its a hormonal stuff

For the anxiety and depression I never took any drugs for that

Alchohol yeah
Tramadol not frequent though


Recreational drugs
Marijuana


I haven't been on any drug for a long time now

My dad seems to have it as well but it's not that noticable except he takes off his shirt


I have no idea about these drugs u mentioned

It is understood your old man having gynecomastia due to hormone changes resulting from aging. This is not a thing to cry tiger about.
You may not have used prescribable drug for your anxiety and depression but your use of marijuana, tramadol and alcohol has overwritten it.
These substances have been shown in some analysis to affect hormone distribution both in males and females. Apart from other side effects it is not to clear how these seems to cause gynaecomastia in males.
This may remain as riskfactors so to say.
However, there are certain improvement that could come about if you can just stop using them.
Should you choose to be more careful:
1. Mammogram -regarding the lump complaint and also to screen for xenobody.

2. Thyroid function test-for hyperthyroidism

3. Androgen/Estrogen hormone profiling: to know if your active testosterone is low and your estrogen is high.

4 Testicular ultrasound- for cases of tumour secreting estrogen.
Others.

Sportwin:
See sir

It's even very visible when I wear cloths

I can't still confirm a gynecomastia from here though. This is because increase fatty inclusion in the breast of males can also lead to a deceiving condition known as pseudogynaecomastia. Moreover, we can buy that from your history concerning your increase gain in weight. Also not minding the fact that gynecomastia is mostly assumed to affect males at their infant stage, puberty(short period) and oldage.

When did you start experiencing this?
Having pains in any of the breast?
Nipple discharges?

You have once complained of anxiety and depression (if I can recall), have you been using any drug on it before now whether prescribed by a doctor or not?
Are you a good drinker of alcohol?

Do you make use of recreational drugs? Perhaps once in a while?

Any health conditions that I should know that may permit a doctor to prescribe any of these drugs for you:
Cimetidine
Spironolactone, flutamide etc
Metoclopramide
Nifedipine
Others..
Perhaps, you may tell me the drugs you have been using for the past 2-3 months till the present.
Does this appear to run in the family?

Sportwin:
Hello sir I am a male but I have breasts that's visible even when I wear clothes
How do I correct this sir?

How visible is the breast, let me see.

sharaff6:

Your kind of occupation?

erenax:
Am too skinny even though I eat alot

Well, it happens like this somehow to some person. You are not just meant to be like others, and you really don't have to blame yourself about this.
Weight gain simply is, calorie loss is less to calorie in take. The net calorie within time begins to show up in the body as fat. So, reduce your calorie expenditure by any means possible. This could be by stopping overtime jobs, reducing stressful activities and exercise, mental stress etc.

The need for rest after exercise is also great. Before and every stressful activities ensure to take some measure of food to start and end with. Don't miss meal time only to start eating much in a one given moment. Regarding food, eat your like. This pleases the spirit and enriches the inner being.
Sleep as much as it needful, and don't put a deferral when it calls. To enable this most time, consumption of both tea and beverages are allowable but not into odd hours of the day.

You are definitely great with that body. You likely may not know how to make it fit. You also need not to compare yourself with others since we all have different levels how we burn calories, in fact the levels of activities we daily indulge in. You make things worse when your esteem is thrown off the fence. Get lovely clothes that fits and shoes that appear smart on your feet. Talk great and smiles, it your body after all.

Drawn to the fact that nothing has happened to your weight being a good eater, may also require a medical check up if other symptoms following this are largely pronounced. This may require a physical check and examination to ascertain what may have been the cause of your body wasting condition. Do you appear older than your age? You may need to see a doctor to have him seek relevance for thyroid gland activity. Usually cases of hyperthyroidism are linked to increase calorie wasting and when the energy-body substances richly done away with, the bodybuilding substances flakes out to support. This may just be a good reason. However, some high thyroid activity are not morbid and most times delimit. Avoid alcohol. Cases of diarrhea should be diagnosed and treated.
Keep dairy of your weight and hip size. Your height is also of relevance. If you haven't improve within time of keeping to directives(at least 6months), please seek a medical health for a proper health check and review.

erenax:
Which drug can I use to get fat?

No such drug made as to satisfy your desire. You may tell us why you want to put up on weight.

Flakky26:
What drug or herbal do i need to make my menstrual period come ,it has ceased for more than 2 years.equally test shows prolactin is high ,what drugs or herbal can i use? I really look forward to conceive this year.

Your not having period for about 2years may result from hyperprolactinaemia(high prolactin level in the blood).
Commonly associated with a pituitary adenomas(prolactinomas), some medications used and rarely, PCOS and CKD.
Good use of Dopamine analogs like Cabergoline and Bromocriptin have proved useful.
Meanwhile, for improvement you may stay away from most drugs to stop vomiting/nausea, cimetidine, antipsychotics and then few galactagogues of herbal origin.
Follow duration of treatment and get the doctor informed after completion after which a check on your prolactin profile is done for improvement.

Honeypour2242:
A sister of mine introduced me to the drug when i was very lean. And I used it for a year and some months before I stopped. And it's been more than 2 years that i stopped using the drug. The only side effect I don't have is infection and my menstruation does fluctuate. But till date, I have abnormal round face, stretch marks, humpiness of the upper back (shoulder), and also fat in my upper body and arm. Anytime I add weight, it's always in my arm. I don't even think im growing in the down part of my body. I'm just wondering if there is any injection or drug I can use that can wash this drug out of my body. I'm tired .

I guess you were one of those that thought it okay in using Dexamethasone in putting up weight. This is wrong anyway.
My piece of advice to you now is to seek a doctor's help for problems I perceive is coming up with a high level of your cortisol hormone (Hypercortisolism or Cushings syndrome). This may or may not be related to the Xasten you have once used.
For the lab:
1. Go for a full blood count(especially WBC in differentials)
2. Thyroid function test.
3. Cortisol hormone profile.

Honeypour2242:
Please im already suffering from the side effect of xasten drugs already. ( big chin, fat arms, tummy) my waist and bum is not even growing anyone .im big at the upper side and thin from my waist down. Please how can i go back to my normal shape , I used it for almost a year and six month and ive stopped using this drug since 2016 but there is no change in my shape, anytime i add weight, its always in my arm and chest for the past 2 years .i dont know what to do anyone, i cant even wear sleeveless for years now. Please help me .

What were you using Dexamethasone for?
Also,if these are true with you for the present, do you observe a round face, stretch marks, humpiness of the upper back (shoulder), fluctuations of your menstrual cycle, your blood pressure and lastly, how frequently you do have infection?

SusanSpicy:
Thanks Doc.
Sorry about not providing my Bio-Data
Am 24, getting married soon, hence i need to know whats wrong with me. my menstruation last for just 2-3 days and in some cases 4 days. My menstruation is irregular. No abortion before or now. Haven't given birth before.
I do feel pains in my lower abdomen every now and then, before, during and even after my monthly menstruation.
Thanks for your help.

It's alright. The former remains the same.

rosybabyy:

Of course, it is possible.

And should it be necessary to talk with me privately, don't hesitate. Meanwhile,it on a payment basis on a mobile health consultation and supervision.

Aurevoiré!

Good morning friends,
I will be happy if every one of us comply on putting a biodata of theirs before posting their complaints. This will cover the stress of always asking for it after studying the complaint. I mean not to appear demanding as in trying to, you are not to comply if in putting it counts only in body-shaming you.
Kindly help us with the above information before placing your complaint:
Sex.
Age.
Height.
Weight.
Body Mass Index(BMI).
Skin color.
Blood pressure.
Pulse rate.

Menstrual cycle days
Menstruation duration(normally or if abnormally of last 2-3cycles)
Menstrual cycle( regular or irregular)
Degree of irregularity(of last 2-4 cycles)
LMP.

Marital status.
Abortion
Contraceptive(s) (used before now and the present)
Medications (used in last 2-3weeks and the present)
Food(likes and dislikes, not really compulsory)
Other health conditions( before now and the present)

For the now, these are enough. Then give your complaint.

SusanSpicy:
Hello Doctor in the house, I have been having this abnormal severe menstrual pains for the past two years now. Two weeks before my Menstruation, am already experiencing severe pains, can't remember the last time, I had a painless blood flow. Been to a gynecologist, she suggest I did HVS, URINALYSIS and PELVIC SCAN, which I did, bt the results shows m perfectly Okay. Pls, what can be done?

First, on your own ensure to manage pain by using pain relieving drugs merely to control not in any sense to prevent pains. You can serve yourself most of these relievers on an OTC basis. Please no abuse.
I also may have you to consider doing some exercise during your ovulation and menstruation. It will alleviate this pain too. Why taking salt-water mixture can help at increasing period flow in some females, use of salt during severe pain period in your cycle is not advisable.
Also, you can seek a doctor's help to put you on a simple contraceptive too. This will reduce your pains too.


You didn't make available some helpful biodata like your age,duration of menstruation,irregular or has been normal,given birth before, done abortion before or now and many others perhaps with abdominal complaints.
Yet, you can still try on going for more aggressive medical diagnostic techniques to knowing the cause of your problem. These may help in further diagnosis of a secondary dysmenorrhea with respect to your complaint :
1. Homonal profiling (PCOS)
2. Biopsy ( for tumour/cancer of the uterus and adnexa)
3.Laparoscopy( for abdominal complaints and Endometriosis)
4. Pap smear( should a bleeding in between cycle associates)
5. Others.

deeem:
Hello doctor, I'm supposed to see my period on the 25th of December and up till now I've not seen it.I've never experienced such delay since I started menstruation. Also since lastweek whenever I bend down to do house chores I end up having serious cramps like period is coming but at the end of the day it won't show up,so I decided to use pt strip day before yesterday around 9am and it was negative. Please what could be wrong?? Am so scared of visiting the hospital and hearing negative health report.

We don't know what could be wrong until a diagnosis is done. But we do advise you patiently stay some cycles more to see if it will come out sooner or later. I advise your not minding too much about it, less exercise, eat more of vegetables( in fact keep a good balance diet), drink more of fluids. And if you have been using some certain medications before now, you may seek a doctor's view on stopping them to see if it has any occasion with the present predicament.
After 4-5 cycles without any show, please seek a doctor's guide as to how to find a solution to the cause of cessed monthly flow, as amenorrhea.

suremum:
Thank you for your reply. The main reason for wanting to take the medication is because I have symptoms like severe headaches and it’s affecting my monthly flow too but majorly for the headaches which are always serious most time and not for fertility Per se.
I appreciate your response. I won’t use until I stop breastfeeding. Thank you so much.

O! I see! Apology if I seem to be judgemental.
Did the doctor say it was micro- or a macroprolactinomas?

suremum:
Hello doctors in the house, I am a breastfeeding mum. I have high prolactin which I had before I got pregnant with my child and I was put on Carbagoline. Now, I was having the symptoms and I met with my doctor who ask me to run a test which I did. From the test, my prolactin is still high. My question now is can I use carbagoline while breastfeeding because I am scared it might affect my baby. I spoke with my doctor on this and he said there is nothing stating it can be use or not. Please doctors, is it advisable or should I wait till I stop breastfeeding?

You can't eat your cake and have it. You can't be breastfeeding and wants fertility. If you desire to serve lactation to your baby then the use of any prolactin inhibitor such as Carbegoline is a contraindication. You really have to stop breastfeeding before thinking of using Cabergoline, else using the drug is to no effect since in one hand you are provoking the prolactin spurt by breast or nipple expression.
