Question 1

I'm 35 and have been dealing with high blood pressure. For the past week, I've been noticing a strong pulse in my stomach, and I've had lower right abdomen pain that's been going on for about four months. I just had an ultrasound scan done. Can you take a look at my report and let me know if there's any chance I have an aortic aneurysm?

Accepted Answer

I don't have access to your ultrasound report, so I cannot confirm if you have an aortic aneurysm. However, if you are experiencing a pulsating sensation in your stomach along with lower right abdomen pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. These symptoms could indicate various conditions, including a possible aneurysm. It is crucial to discuss your symptoms and ultrasound findings with your doctor to determine the appropriate course of action.

Question 2

I've just had surgery for my varicose veins, and after finding out about them, I quit using tobacco altogether. Before the surgery, I was pretty into marijuana, and I'm wondering if I start using it again, but without any tobacco, could that worsen my vein issues?

Accepted Answer

It's great that you've quit tobacco, as it helps your recovery. Using marijuana without tobacco might not directly aggravate varicose veins, but smoking of any kind can impact circulation and healing. It's best to avoid it entirely to promote long-term vein health.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with these varicose wounds for the last three months, and they come with crazy itching and burning sensations. The Doppler scan showed mildly dilated long saphenous veins due to an incompetent sapheno-femoral junction and a few incompetent perforators. Luckily, there's no sign of deep venous thrombosis, but still, it sounds serious to me. She's taking medications like OCID DSR, Gabamax Gold, CALDOB, and Ecosprin. I'm just trying to understand how severe this condition is and how long it might take for her to fully recover. Are there any specific precautions or recommendations we should follow to help her heal faster? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Accepted Answer
