OT: Pasenya na.

 

What happened to the previous posts? I don't think a lot of them were THAT OT. Thanks mods. Keep up the good work.

 

 

The thread had gotten past the requisite number of pages. When that happens we archive and make a new one...

 

Rather than make a new one, I merged several medical queries threads in this section that were not being given attention and renamed it The Medical Thread.

 

I hope there was no sarcasm on your part when you said Keep up the good work up there.

[sunking]

Ah ok. No sarcasm naman po. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Anyway, welcome all to the "new" Med Thread. Basahin po yung subtitle. Have a good day.

just recently madalas kong maramdaman yung right part ng talukap ng right eye ko is pumipintig-pintig. sabi ng friend ko sobra daw ako sa coffee, totoo ba yun?

 

btw, i drink coffee 3 times a day.

Those are most likely fasciculations of the eyelid muscles. Nothing to be worried about. It's usually brought about by muscle tiredness or fatigue. Caffeine can cause it to increase in intensity or frequency.

Hello

 

I snore too and possibly suffer from sleep apnea. I experience one of these or sometimes all of these when i wake up;

 

- i wake up with a dry mouth and throat

 

- sometimes with a headache and lousy feeling akin to a hangover

 

- fatigue and sleepiness throughout the day

 

- with some memory deficiency, poor attention and concentration, and bad mood

 

All of these are signs off lack of sleep. I know that snoring is associated with sleep apnea (obstructive sleep apnea). And If i ignore my these signs, they are added risk factors for developing hypertension and coronary heart disease.

I want immediate relief, where can i get them -Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) mask? how much do they cost?

 

thanks!

 

 

True ba ito?

[sunking]

True ba ito?

 

Yes, a CPAP mask is a counter-snoring measure, as well as obtaining customized pillows, some chemical sprays, and LOSING WEIGHT (this has helped me).

saan po ba nakakabili nyang CPAP mask? may device pa ba na kasama para sa air pressure?

 

kasi pag gising ko rin pagod ako at tuyo ang lalamunan ko kaya minsan na aantok ako sa daytime

IMHO , better consult a specialist first before buying or using any medical gadget/s...

not only for the right diagnosis but also for the proper way of using such gadget/s...

you can ask either a pulmonologist, or you can also visit sleep centers, such as the one at st.lukes, and there's another one at wilson st., near cardinal.

 

talagang aantukin ka pag daytime, kase consequence talaga yan ng obstructive sleep apnea (given that that is what you have)

every time i go to the bathroom to poop.. ang saket lagi i dunno if meron sugat or wat.. pro ang hirap tlga mag poop ang saket.. dati nangyayari narn yung nasusugat kc matigas yung stool.. pro after a while ok na ulit.. ngayon lng mdyo 2mtgal like mga 4-5 days na every time i poop in the morning ang saket.. wla naman laman sa labas ng assh*le.. dunno sa luob.. almoranas b yung ganito? wat do i have to do? eat? medications?

 

tnx

first check your diet.

 

dapat high fiber and increase your fluid intake. When I mean fluid, I mean water and juice. Not coke and beer.

 

Kapag ganyang matigas ang dumi mo nagkakaroon ka ng fissures. You could check by wiping your assh*le with some tissue. If it has blood, it's caused by trauma.

 

If all else fails you would need a prescription. You could get fibrosine it's over the counter naman.

well, aside from the high fiber and increased fluid intake mentioned above, we do prescribe oral meds and suppositories, given that the cause is almoranas or hemorrhoids, which is most likely internal, in your case (it could either be internal or external).

 

Better seek consult first, for proper rectal exam, and sigmoidoscopy if needed.

You probably have an anal fissure. It is due to a tear in your anal muscles (we call it sphincter). If it is acute, meaning lately lang nangyari, it usually resolves. However, there are patients who had these symptoms chronically that it becomes a vicious cycle. Whenever you defecate, there will be pain, the tendency of your anal sphincters is to contract. When the sphincter contracts, the tear widens and more pain will follow. Kalimitan sa mga patients with anal fissure ay natatakot na mag-poop dahil expected na nila na may pain. Some of them even avoid defecating which worsens the situation.

 

If ever conservative treatment fails, we do surgery by cutting a portion of your anal sphincters para mag-relax.

 

Hemmorhoids can also cause pain on defecation but not the way you described it.

 

Do keep me updated.
