After drinking ice cold water I begin to experience short of breath. About a month ago in October, I had coronary bypass artery surgery. What is this happening?

Hard to unswer exactly, because it can have several reasons. As usually cold weather causes vasospasm of heart vessels and some anginal symptoms, including shortness of breath, theoritically we can consider the same thing here.

I hit my head yesterday around 5pm really hard with a car door(top of forehead over right eye) Fairly large knot appeared within minutes, put ice on it for about 4 hrs and got the sweeling to go down some, head hurt but had a horrible headache around 12am, went to bed got up around 3am and felt sick, the corners of my eyes where a little blurry and started vomitting off and on for 4-5 hours. I still fill sick to my stomach, and I can see better, did I just have a small concussion, and probably will feel better later today, or should I go to the doctor.

if you dont have headache and vomitting you need not worry, sleep with head in a prop up position ,if not relieved after24hrs please check with your doctor ...

I have already seen orthopaedic who says it's nothing to worry and gave pain killer and ice pack press. But my xray shows tissue swelling and early osteoarthritis signs. Right now i am confused..should i continue treatment he has given?

Hello Madam, as far as soft tissue injury is concerned it will take couple of weeks to heal. The best way to alleviate your symptoms is by taking regular analgesics and doing physiotherapy/massage on daily basis. As far as your osteoarthritis issue is concerned, you should start taking oral calcium tab supplement daily, along side with Vitamin D Capsule/oral ampule of 2 lac units fortnightly. ...
