Question 1

Im a 23-year-old guy and have noticed that my nipples are puffy. They shrink when its cold, but get puffy when its warm. It makes me feel really self-conscious about taking my shirt off. There are no lumps under the nipples, so I dont think its gynecomastia, but my nipples dont look normal when warmtheyre not pointed like they should be. They feel hard when cold though. Is there anything I can do about this or any permanent solution?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you're experiencing temporary nipple puffiness, which is usually normal and not a sign of any underlying condition like gynecomastia. Since there are no lumps and no pain, this could simply be a natural response to temperature changes. If it causes significant distress, you may consider consulting a doctor for reassurance or potential treatments like surgery if needed.

Accepted Answer

Long-term use of Seroflo 250 inhaler, containing Salmeterol and Fluticasone (a steroid), may lead to potential side effects, including oral thrush, hoarseness, coughing, headaches, and increased risk of pneumonia, osteoporosis, and cataracts; however, the benefits of controlling asthma symptoms often outweigh the risks

Question 3

Please get your pulmonary function test done and also Chest xray. See a Pulmonologist in your area.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

It sounds like the medication is starting to open up your airways, which can sometimes lead to increased coughing and mucus production as your lungs begin to clear. However, the fever, headache, and worsening symptoms might indicate an infection or a reaction. It's important to contact your pulmonologist to discuss these new symptoms, especially considering your smoking history.

Question 5

Hi doctor, my SGPT and SGOT levels are high, and Ive been told that I snore loudly and sometimes seem to stop breathing during sleep. What can I do to manage this and bring my levels under control?

Accepted Answer

High SGPT and SGOT levels, combined with loud snoring and breathing pauses, suggest potential liver issues and sleep apnea. It's important to address liver health through a balanced diet, hydration, and limiting alcohol, while seeking treatment for sleep apnea through lifestyle changes, weight management, and possibly using a CPAP machine. Please consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation and personalized plan.

Question 6

Hi Doctor, I recently had a chest X-ray which showed prominent bronchiovascular markings in both lung fields. I'm scheduled for surgery on Wednesday under general anesthesia. Should I be worried about this finding, especially considering the surgery?

Accepted Answer

Prominent bronchiovascular markings on a chest X-ray typically suggest mild changes in the lungs, possibly due to chronic conditions like bronchitis or mild inflammation. However, this finding is generally not a major concern for surgery under general anesthesia. Its important to inform your surgical team about your chest X-ray results, but with proper evaluation and monitoring, you should be able to proceed safely with the surgery.
