Hypochondria is a serious psychological anxiety issue .it can create real physical fear n manifestation but most times dey r all in yr head.face yr fear n go for HIV test.am 100 percent sure it will b negative.After ruling out any medical condition next thing is to work on fear.dnt run from it,run into it.in most cases there is trigger. Avoid googling yr symptoms. It will only magnify it.

Thanks for your kind response, have gone through my mention but I can't remember Sir, please put me through.

Aren't you that young man that sent me same complaint some weeks back on WhatsApp, we treated for Pseudomonas ( after Urine m/c/s) for which it exhibited resistance to?
Then, I thought it better for you to do Urinalysis which actually lead to knowing your blood sugar was actually high.

You are dealing with a self-imposed psyche malady that has no tolerance to mind stability. Almost all organic health conditions run with poor or no appetite as well as some psychogenic disturbance-anxiety being a part.
The anxiety that comes with hypochondriac is self-compulsive and impository modifiable. This means, whatever now you suffer of is a thing of your own measure and psyche. The embodiment of your worries is the loss of appetite which is certainly not a core definition of what you think you are or suspicious about. So, I should be interested to know other signs and symptoms that should make want to believe I have a certain problem. Once again, i may still find it troubling because I have believe so much that I have a condition. One usually with hyponchondriac is in halves to face the truth and what to do with the truth. I should be the first to check that If actually this condition is true of my suspicion, as usual the one having hypochondriac ain't having that which he thinks. Some often don't have problem going for check but habitual checking is the obsessive disease. Now, if I were you:

1) I will choose to be Active against all odds. I will choose to
give my attention to the best enterprise my hand finds to do. Read books, hangout with friends and take at a good time for leisure.

2) Cut down the many checks on me. Now, that I have decided to maintain a busy schedule, I would indulge in less checking of my self. When I must have started less checking of my self I would ensure to keep a standard health-to-stress balance that will not frustrate this indulging of mine. I would question myself, for example; " if I have AIDs why haven't I come down with something serious more than just a loss of appetite for this months/years that I have been suspecting it? " . I would ensure that I avoid checking also sites for which I feed my fears too. No more checking for online help, it would only enrich the fear in me.

3) I wouldl appreciate myself for the life I live now. I will encourage myself that life is either I live or I die, never both. However, if I do come with AIDs in line with my suspicion I shouldn't take it with all pinch of salt that i am done with life. Rather, I would rather think out prospect on how to make me live life and be happy, and not worry my ass off all day.

4) Feed your mental being with that which is positive. Stop talking about it.

5) Seek the help of Psychologist for further relevance and assistance.
my apology doctor.

Doc my gal usually experience stuffy nose at night, especially one nostril blocked, her eyes gets watery, she itches whenever anything like dirt touch her skin. This congestions occur mostly at nights and in the mornings, I asked her and she said sometimes dust also causes the same reactions, also she can't stay anywhere there's Cat because she still experiences the same thing. What I noticed is that the problem seems more this raining season and she likes sleeping under fan. How can she manage herself properly to avoid such reactions? I have been buying inhaler for her to use for her blocked nostrils and it works but once cold enters her body everything starts again.

Though no associated symptoms except for frequency in the urge to pass urine in night, you may do the following and let me know:
1) Urine m/c/s and Load of bacteria in the urine (Urine bacteria load)

2) Urinalysis.

3) Fasting blood sugar test.

I guess this is not the first time she is experiencing this.

She is having Rhinovirus common cold disturbance.
Is she Asthmatic?

Why use an expectorant? Was it a doctor that said you should?

Thanks Doc. She's not asthmatic sir(according to her) but if it's rhinovirus what can she do? I've not known her for up to a year, I'm sure it's not a recent problem too but she hasn't managed it well so far from my observation

Sir, I am not a magician and it will require some effect on my side to know the cause to the pain. Knowing also may be difficult for the fact that I am not doing a physical examination on him.

How severe is the pain?
Which part of the abdomen is he having the pain?
When do this pain seems to come low and high?
Does the pain come during and after eating?
Does the pain come before eating?
Is he having chest tightness?
Feeling of not breathing well?
The site of the operation, has it healed properly?
Any place of the abdomen or the body generally swollen?
Any thing to say about his urine:
Volume?
Color?
Odor?

Vomiting?
Nausea?
Diarrhea?
Hearing Tommy sounds?

What has so far use to manage this pain?

he said it was the upper part of his stomach that was having pains
pain mostly at night
very rarely in d day
breathing very fine, no complaints about d chest
operation site is in perfect healing condition, can't say internally
no swelling in the stomach
his urine,colour, volume all normal as before

a nurse advised he deworm himself
he did so yesterday afternoon
and so far he has not felt any pain since taking the pills

so we are observing him for now

Actually, It is not a matter of not managing it well or not. The virus is in the hair and the mares and could provoke symptoms for susceptible persons. The virus exhibit a mild virulence and not one that poses threat to anyone. Spread is easy and usually by breath droplet. You need to educate her on coughing on her sleeves or cubital angle as to get yourself free from her drift.

She may need to do this to fasten relief from this Common cold:

1) Exposure to a steamy environment. Prepare a boiled water in a water bath. You have to wrap over her clothes and bed blanket while she sits around the water bath containing the boiled water. This is making closure on her such that she is expose to high temperature vapors that will decongest nose and reduces the viral activity. This should not last more than 30-45mins. Morning and evening is enough for this.

2) Before going to bed she should take some warm Coffee tea. Or, she should take as a meal a peppersoup of Chicken made or a dried fish.

3) She should make use of some simple antibiotics as to prevent complications leading to sinusitis and otitis media.

4) Avoid coming in contact with crowding.

5) Since she has used decongestant for the while, i would advise she dropped down slowly to avoid rebound from stopping it.

6) Use of pain reliever is advisable to reduce the fever if it is not proving better.

7) Keep the home dust-free as much as you can.

I assure you she will be fine sooner than you expect. Do things 1-2 times, she will improve soon.

Lizzy! Lizzy!!

Try and explain better next time. All this time I have thought it was a bone stuck about your throat after a meal.
This is a throat pain lasting about 4days now, right?
Don't over work yourself about this, throat pain and common cold are preponderance among pregnant women (especially at the 1st-2nd trimester) and susceptible ones especially during this rainy season.

I can assure you, it will self-limit on it own provided all things being equal. However, a long stayed throat pained can predisposed you to several health complications such as sinusitis, or even pneumonia or some form of heart problems. If I were you I would on my own try to do the following to avoid these problems :

1) spit out all the sputum form this instead of swallowing. You can't spit them all out, that's like wanting to get your mouth dried. I meant, don't swallow in those excess saliva you will have to experience during this throat paining condition.

2) Both in the early morning and going down to dusk, take your tooth brush and a warm water. Roll over your soft palate with your tongue, you will observe some fleshly inflammatory substance over it. Toothbrush over those area, you may want to vomit cause you will be sweeping over your vomiting trigger zone. This area is deep and you may want to this severally and rinse with the warm water.

3) Avoid talking too loud.

4) Eat warm food and before going to bed, take warm tea.

5) Use Metronidazole for 3-4days. Morning and evening time.

You will be fine.

Should symptoms last above 1wk, kindly seek help from your physical doctor.
