I'm a thyroid patient and have been on medication for 8 to 10 years. Lately, I've been feeling like there's a lump in my throat, and I often get breathless, mostly in the evenings. Whenever I do any hard work, my breathing gets faster. I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me figure out what might be wrong?

I'm on day 4 of my cycle and my doctor started me on Siphene 50mg because I had irregular egg sizes last month. Ive been taking it since day 2, but I noticed my period unexpectedly stopped around 3.5 days. Usually, it lasts at least 5 days. Could Siphene be the reason my bleeding stopped earlier this time? Id really like to understand what's going on.

Siphene may have caused a shorter or lighter period in your case, which can sometimes happen as a result of hormonal changes or adjustments. Its not typically known to stop menstrual bleeding altogether, but it can influence the menstrual cycle. If you're concerned, its best to check with your doctor, who may want to monitor your endometrial lining and overall response to the medication.

I've been having nipple erection, and they seem really puffy. I'm worried it might be gynecomastia or something like that. Whenever I wear t-shirts, my nipples stick out and it's super embarrassing. A pulmonologist suggested I take Augmentin 625mg twice a day and Rantac 150mg both after eating. I'm just wondering if this is the right treatment for this problem. Could you give me some advice on what to do?

Nipple erection and puffy nipples can indeed be symptoms of gynecomastia. However, Augmentin (625mg twice a day) and Rantac (150mg after food) are not typically used to treat gynecomastia. Augmentin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, while Rantac is used to reduce stomach acid. For gynecomastia, the treatment approach may vary depending on the underlying cause. It is important to follow up with your pulmonologist or a specialist in gynecomastia for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
