    Help!

    20 yo female, previous history of kidney disease and hypertension, both well controlled via surgery and Lisenopril prescription (BP usually 110/65). Currently on Lutera-28 birth control as approved by my doctor (0.02mcg estrogen). So I'm pretty sure I'm totally being a hypochondriac here (pre-med), but about a hour ago I got a pain in my left chest area when breathing in.

    How effective is a stroke physiotherapy?

    Hi! I am Hazel and I have joined this forum to seek advice for stroke physiotherapy. My uncle had a stroke a year back and he is paralyzed on his left side since then. He was in the ICU for almost 6 months. The doctors started physiotherapy but there was no change in his condition. At last, we heard the words that no one wants to hear. The doctors said, there is nothing more they can do. And he was discharged from the hospital. We are really disappointed about his condition. When I discussed this....

    Carotid Plaque showing up on X-Ray mostly falsified by Utrasound? How?

    I went to a chiropractor last week who took a look of an X-Ray of my neck which took place by the end of last year. What seemed to be the carotid arteries were very bright (grey/white). Made me go see a doctor. Doctor lost his ***, made ultrasound, said "yeah there is something going on there, probably have to get medications" (talks to me nervously for 1,5 hours). Sends me to a cardiologist. Cardiologist does ultrasound too, also on the heart (+ stress ECG, looked good). He shows me 2....

    Why do some doctor's order d-dimer tests "stat"

    I work for a large medical group with multiple locations in several different counties, which also includes several Urgent Care/Walk-In facilities. I have noticed that the physicians at the Urgent Care locations in one particular county frequently (almost daily) call for "stat" D-dimer tests, whereas the physicians in the other counties do not call at all. I realize that they are using the test to help rule out thrombosis, but I question why some physicians are able to do so without ordering....

    DVT & Xarelto

    I have been on Xarelto for several years. Before that, I was on Warfarin and my Dr couldn't keep my levels good. I was having to change my dose every week or 2. I haven't had any problems since I've been on Xarelto, but my foot up to my knee, have been bothering me for almost 2 weeks. It's the same pain I felt when I had a DVT in 2012. I went to the ER and the Dr didn't even look at my foot or leg. He said that my bloodwork showed no indicators of a blood clot. So with the pain....

    My grandfather stopped responding a few days after his stroke

    So I’m thirteen, my whole family came from around the country to see my grandfather who just had a stroke. He is 74 and has a pacemaker, was a heavy smoker until about thirty years ago, that is why he had a heart attack from the smoking. He also has had bone marrow cancer for six years and we just figured out nothing was working to stop the cancer. He had a terrible pain in his foot before the stroke and has little movement on his left side. He responded to me up to three days after the stroke, waited....
