General Physician,
Dear lybrate-user you must consult your cardiologist again. It seems the diuretics dose may be a little too much for him, hence the decrease in blood pressure and other related effects. The dose may need to be adjusted based on his response. A second reason could be a dip in blood sugar .if dapaone has recently been introduced, you may need to check his blood sugar in case it is becoming too low in the evening. Take care.

As TLC is very low, she should be admitted as fever in this case is a medical emergency. I understand you are in a very tough position. What have you decided for her treatment. Are you planning to go for 2nd line therapy or not.

White discharge with itching is most commonly seen in vaginal infection, with pus cell 7-10 and negative culture might be sample a contamination consult and take proper treatment.

Hi, first off let me tell you that anal fissures are a common problem but they can be really troublesome and painful. It is unfortunate that you have to go through this. Now, let's talk about your immediate worry that is the hard skin that you feel at your anus. Feeling a small lump near your fissure or anus is also common and nothing to be scared of. Talking about the pain and inability to sit or walk. There are a few things which delay the healing of fissures: 1. Hard stools 2. Increased anal tone / tight anal opening due to the fissure 3. Unclean wound (fissure) to take care of these issues: 1. You would need a laxative / stool softner 2. An ointment that helps relax the anal opening specially while passing stools. Your doctor can prescribe it to you. 3. Sitz bath which promotes healing of your fissure by increasing blood flow, relaxing the anal sphincter and cleaning the wound/fissure. If you follow these along with the medications, your fissure will heal faster and your pain will be relieved quicker. If you have anymore questions, you can reach me via private chat.
