Hi, What I think you want to ask is that you feel uncomfortable and have difficulty in breathing after 2 hours of intake of food. The cause for this, because you are so specifically asking just after food, is that it can be simply gastritis due to gaseous distension of abdomen . You might have a little bloating and burping sensation while it can have multiple cause for which I would need at least your age,weight,height and also about your smoking and alcohol habits. You can try out with some s ...

My father is 78 years old and has been suffering from constipation for the last 2 years. He has also lost a lot of weight around 10 kgs in this time span. In the last couple of months he has been complaining that his abdominal muscles have torn due to bowel straining and now he says there is loss of muscle in his stomach area. Which is why when he lies down everything is fine but when he sits up and walks around he feels like he is carrying a weight in his stomach. After intake of food it becomes worse and he also gets bloating. We have done all possible tests - colonoscopy, CT scan, ultrasound sometime last year and everything was clear. The doctors gave a verdict of idiopathic constipation and left it at that. His blood work is fine, haemoglobin levels, cholestrol etc. He still suffers from constipation. His prostrate is enlarged but results are fine. What is the solution to his stomach muscle problem ? Is it lack of exercise, lack of protein ? He doesnt have a pot belly and has never had and had always been physically active and fairly slender.

Hi, History told by you favours irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS ). There are two alarming signs in your case : Firstly, loss of weight and that to10kg approx.

Treatments available for IBS - - Increase the level of physical activity. - Have regular meals and take t ...

About 5 years ago I noticed a dramatic reduction of the muscle mass (Muscle atrophy) in my right calf muscle, like 75% to 80% reduction compared to my Left calf Muscle (possible the gastrocnemius), I also noticed that my Achilles is also very loose, when in a relaxed state, compared to the left leg. What could be the possible problems? There is no pain (other than uneasiness like restless leg syndrome) associated with this problem. I do have a lower back problem (damage) that was done 30 years ago to the L4/L5 herniated disk. Now I have noticed that other muscles are starting to harden and reduce like the one did 5 years ago. I went on a 15 mile hike in the mountains this past summer and I am very active during the day. However I do not regularly exercise as I should. Thoughts?

Hello Sir, You are suffering from myopathy for which a thorough examination needs to be done. Blood tests like Creatine kinase and Electrodiagnostic tests like Electromyography [ E.M.G.] should be done. Nerve conduction studies for the affected limb should be done.

Hi I'm dealing with pericarditis for almost a year! One year in prednisones (average of 20 mgr/day) and colchicine! No improvement in my health. Every single result of any test like blood work cancer TB MRI .., every thing was negative ! What should I do? I'm tired! Eventually I was told I have idiopathic recurrent pericarditis

Hi, Usually the first line of drugs for idiopathic pericarditis are nsaids and colchicine. They are given only when attacks reoccur or you are not satisfied with simple pain killers(nsaids) because colchcine are better relievers and help reduce inflammation and reoccurence. Prednisone is given even after when further attacks occur quite frequently( It is given for a period of around 3 weeks after which the dose is tapered and they should be able to control your symptoms) . Occasionally a short ...

I have had virus symptoms since Sat...and the worse is an arm and neck twitching that started Sunday night. Today it is so bad I look like I have terrets or parkinson's syndrome. I have a low grade fever of 101.3 and a bad earache.

Hi, The symptoms does not seem to be of viral infection, however it might have started as a viral infection but none of the symptoms match a viral infection and even 101 fever is not mild. You probably had some URTI (upper respiratory tract infection),which now probably has involved a bigger area and even might have also converted to a bacterial infection. Precautions to be taken - Have plenty of water(fluids non colas) - Avoid spicy food - You can have ice cream but not too much - Remain ...

Hi, its my 34th week of pregnancy, I've been diagnosed with gestational diabetics and i am taking insulin everyday. right now my baby is weighing nearer to 2.6 kg and my Doc is suggesting delivery in the next week itself, due to the complications and since there is a single loop of cord around my baby's neck, can i get a suggestion regarding this, shall i go with what my Doc says?

Hi!! Usually in gestational diabetes if sugars are well controlled on insulin,I would suggest delivery by induction of labour between 37-38 weeks of pregnancy.Also,there should be no other complications in the pregnancy.Trial of labour is recommended if no associated complications and even if single loop of cord is present around the fetal neck. From your query it seems that the pregnancy is not associated with any other complications.You should discuss in detail with your obstetrician regarding ...
