  • Should I see a doctor?

    Yes, u should see a doctor for all these symptoms. They need to figure out what's going on with blood work and other tests. READ MORE

  • My body feels like a complete wreck, what could it be?

    You need to see your primary care physician immediately so they can do a full physical as well as blood work to check your red and white blood cells, your liver and kidney function, and your thyroid and vitamin levels. Then the dr can start trying to find out what your condition is. I would stop taking all the "natural supplements" so you can see if they are causing problems. It sounds like you have some kind of vitamin deficiency or some metal toxicity but you need to be examined as soon as possible. READ MORE

  • Chest pain and congestion?

    Chest pain with congestion could be many things. It could be pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, pleurisy, or grave things such as heart inflammation or congestive heart failure. You need to see your primary care doctor or a pulmonologist (lung doctor) as soon as possible so they can get a chest X-ray and other tests such as a CT. READ MORE

  • Lump on my right pec?

    This lump could be several things but the most important thing is to make an appointment with your primary doctor to examine the lump. He or she will need to get an ultrasound of your pec muscle to see if the mass is fluid or solid. Also, you need blood work to make sure you don't have any underlying conditions. It could be a lipoma which is a benign mass of fat or it could be something malignant so it's very important you don't ignore this and go to your Dr immediately. READ MORE

  • UK covid mandate?

    Recently the Supreme Court ruled on COVID mandates. They did say that companies no longer have to mandate COVID vaccines; however, this does not apply to healthcare workers. They did rule to KEEP the COVID vaccine mandate for healthcare workers. READ MORE

  • Xanax and alcohol?

    Well in theory you shouldn't drink alcohol with Xanax. Xanax is a "downer" so mixing it with any alcohol makes the effects stronger. So it can potentially make you drunker, sicker, cause your heart rate to decrease, and ultimately death. So I would say there is no time to take Xanax with alcohol. READ MORE

  • Disorientation and loss of sight?

    You need to see your doctor immediately. Any sudden loss of sight and disorientation can be from many things including clogged arteries, brain issues such as mini-strokes, tumors, could be your blood sugar going low. Either way, you need to go to your doctor and get a full physical with blood work and CT of your head and ultrasound of your carotid arteries. READ MORE

  • Can I actually drink alcohol on pregabalin?

  • What do I do?

    You need to see your primary care doctor for a complete exam and if there is pain in your teeth and sinuses you need a CT scan of your sinuses as well. It could be a tooth abscess, chronic sinusitis causing headaches. READ MORE

    Please go to the Emergency Room as soon as possible if you feel it's stuck. READ MORE

You can control your disease with antiviral medication bit it doesn't "remove the virus" just makes it stay quiet. READ MORE
