Thanks sir. Antay ko a week cgro before dalhin ko sya obgyne. Tnx

 

you can have false negatives up to 3 weeks using urine HCG tests (over the counter preg tests) you may want to try serum HCG (blood testing) or you can just do a transvaginal ultrasound to see if there has been implantation already. I agree with the other MDs, if you need to be sure, consult an OB-GYN.

fresh air and lots of Vitamins help, but starting Anti-TB medications would be a lot better.....

Good morning :)

 

kagagaling ko lang nang medical city kahapon (magkasunod na araw ako pumunta)

 

their finding/s : Hyperventilation Syndrome

 

symptoms :

- chest pain

- dizziness

- spasm

- deep sighing respirations

- Tremor

- tingling sensation (both arms and legs, head, lip area)

 

i noticed this (started) last July 24 while sipping iced tea with some friends somewhere in makati. I dont remember myself being stressed though.

 

Last July 30 I suddenly felt dizzy/light headed. and because I have history of having a high BP, I went to our company clinic. there my BP was 130/80. I already noticed that I have difficultly in breathing. so I asked the nurse kung pwede mahiram ung oxygen tank nila (you know what i mean *wink).

 

After 15 min medyo ok pakiramdam ko. But when i removed the thing that you put on your nose thats connected to the oxygen tank (sheesh.... I dont even know what you call it), i suddenly felt my whole body started to numb and i cant even move my fingers. I told this to the nurse and she checked my BP again : 150/110, She gave me catapres (?) and volunteered to bring me to the hospital. I said no and just went to medical city by myself.

 

Arrived at the ER. tried to sign some papers but my hand/s is trembling and i can't bend some of my fingers.

 

on the er bed, the cute doctor (hi doc! mwah! ) asked me questions about the last thing that I ate, last activity, yadayadayada. they said they would go ahead and do an ECG (just to make sure) and a blood test. they attached something on my finger which i guess counts my heart rate or something.

 

Then weird enough, my chest suddenly felt really heavy and i started to gasp for air. I guess nag panic na ako... and the next thing i know i was stiff and I can't even move an inch. sobrang panic na talaga ako nun malamang. and i tried getting someone's attention. they went to my bed and the doctor locked at the machine attached to my finger and said "your hyperventilating!". And he said that i need to relax myself (duh, doc kahit cute ka gusto kita sakalin nung oras na un). so i tried. I even tried singing a church song (dunno why pero i guess it worked). Medyo nagalaw ko na ung siko ko (yehey!) so the doctor joked about saying woooosssaaa. i tried to laugh so that i would be a little more relaxed. after probably 15 min, nagagalaw ko na ang arms ko. ung right hand ko di ko pa mabend nang masyado ung fingers kaya ung left hand ko nalang ginamit kong pang text (lol).

 

ECG result- clean

sugar - sabi nila a little lower than normal

potassium - well i guess little lower din kasi pinatake nila ako nang potassium tablets (or something).

blood -- clean

 

so ayun pinauwi na nila ako. sabi nila hyperventilation nga daw. kung na explain man nila ang ginawa nila di ko na maalala... nahihilo pa kasi ako noon. I went home agad at natulog. naisip ko kasi na baka pagod lang ito.

 

July 31. My chest felt heavy again. and this time I was just on my bed trying to sleep (again :P ). I tried to relax myself but my body started to numb again. I tried logging into mtc para mawala sa isip ko ung nararamdaman ko. pero tuloy tuloy parung ung numbness hangang sa im gasping for air again. I texted my mom to get me her sa libis. dinala nila ako sa medical city. there ayaw ko na magpunta sa ER. I am aware of what Hyperventilation is (well nag google ako bago dinala sa MC :P )so i just asked if i could talk to a doctor. I need explanation/s kasi.

 

so the doctor (in fairness cute din sya. ahihihi ) checked my history and explained to me what happened and what HyperV is. This time I was able to understand what I have. Sad to say there's no medication for this and all they could give me is a prescription that could help me calm down (effective na pampatulog ito ha!). He suggested I talk to a psychiatrist (tama ba ako) to check whats causing my anxiety and stress.

 

 

Questions :

 

- Bakit ngayon lang ito nangyari sakin? dahil ba stressed na talaga ako?

- do i need to do something para di na ulit mangyari ito?

- may kilala ba kayong psychiatrist? sana mura lang kasi di sagot nang health card ko eh :(

- nakakahawa ba ito?

- may mga dapat ba ako iwasan?

- may mga dapat ba akong i take to prevent this?

 

 

Thanks po at pasensya na sa haba nang post ko na ito :P

since it's extrapulmonary TB (outside the long) he might need 10-12 months treatment instead of the usual 6. tell him to look for a DOH DOTS(TB) center nearby for consult and meds.
