In January and February, you had ARV shots already. You might not need them this time, but watch out. Look for fever, headache, or swollen glands - any unusual signs. If you notice these symptoms, see a doctor right away to get checked.

My husband is an IV user and his left arm has a bunch of open sores and it's swollen and appears to be infected. 3 days ago he started to get b head aches but he refuses to see a doctor. Is there anything at home I can do for him
Male | 50
Your husband's arm is in a bad state. The open sores and swelling could be a sign of an infection. If he's also experiencing headaches, things could get worse. Infections can be spread quickly! At home, you can help by cleaning the sores gently with warm water and soap, then covering them with band-aids. But he should see a doctor as soon as possible because infections can be dangerous.

Dear Sir / Mam, On Saturday evening my cat scratch on my hand it bleeds but last seven months ago I have already vaccinated myself should I retake rabies vaccine this time.
Male | 24
If a cat started to bite you and there is an exposure, remember that it's so important to immediately wash it with water and soap and after that call the doctor. If the wound looks like it's getting infected, not only to run a rabies test would be safer but also for the welfare of other's rabies treatments might be needed. On the other hand, you may not need to retake the rabies vaccine, but still it is better to keep watching the wound and ask for medical advice if necessary.

Why do I have severe headache and my eyeballs hurts alot when I got sad or tension?
Female | 31
These are the signs of a tension headache. These are the types of headaches that are due to muscle tension in the back of the neck and the scalp, which can be treated with relaxation methods, over-the-counter pain relievers, and stress management to relieve the pain. If the symptoms are persistent or they worsen, you should meet with the professional neurologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I had a situation that was probably a panic attack but it was similar to a heart attack and I already have hypertension so I'm really worried. I want to figure out whether it was a panic attack or should I go to the ER.
Male | 20
It is important to consult your doctor immediately if you suffer symptoms like heart attack even if you are a hypertension patient. It could be a panic attack, but why take a chance and ignore any heart-related conditions that might be ruled out. Please see a cardiologist for detailed diagnosis and advice.

Female | 21
You seem to struggle with sleep, experiencing frequent headaches. Insufficient rest can trigger such headaches. The solution lies in relaxing before bedtime. Screens like phones and televisions should be avoided, and a soothing routine established. Ensure your room is dark and quiet. However, if the issue persists, seeking professional assistance is advisable.

Hello Can you advise me what to do with my test results and interpret them Low iron serum 22 Low folic acid 1.95 Low serum creatinine 0.56 High non hdl 184 High ldl 167
Female | 44
Your iron level in your blood is deficient, possibly causing tiredness and lack of strength. The folic acid measurement is also low, potentially resulting in fatigue and weakened immunity. Additionally, heightened non-HDL and LDL readings could raise the risk of cardiovascular issues. To address this situation, try incorporating more iron-packed and folic acid-rich foods into your diet.

Received few grey brown soft tissue bits together measuring 0.2 x 0.1 x 0.1 cm
Male | 23
The grey-brown soft tissue bits you received are likely biopsy samples. It's important to get them examined by a pathologist to understand the nature of the tissue. I strongly recommend consulting a specialist, such as a general surgeon or a pathologist, who can review the results and guide you on the next steps for treatment.
