I need the second opinion for my old aged mom (almost 95 years). She is suffering from all these symptoms those are mentioned below. Loss of appetite means she doesn't have the same desire to eat as she used to. Signs of decreased appetite include not wanting to eat, unintentional weight loss, and not feeling hungry. The idea of eating food may make she feels heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux) as if you might vomit after eating. She is mostly indigested whatever she takes. I am worrying she might get gastrointestinal (gi) bleeding, sometimes. She is taking pantocid 10 mg (a.c.) half and an hour before every meal. Her lung is filling with fluid (water) and she gets pulmonary edema and that make her feeling shortness breath and tightness is chest and get chest pain as well. She is taking lasix (furosemide) 10 mg (q.d.) to get rid of that extra fluid retention. She gets hypertension (high blood pressure) and is taking amlodipine (norvasc) 5 mg b.i.d. And for the heart related issues, she is taking metaguard 20 mg, monotrate 20 mg (1 tablet each) a.c. When she is taking the lasix, we have to put on hold for the (amlodipine). When the cardiologist took her the e.c.g and angiography (echocardiogram), he found the narrowing of the pulmonary valve opening i.e. Pulmonary stenosis. Firstly, he suggested us to do the pulmonary valve replacement. Due to her weakness and older age, the doctor is recommended to do so. Again, the doctor mentions she might get the chest pain due to her vitamin-d deficiency. It causes the inflammation of the cartilage in the rib cage (costochondritis). She has to take pain killer to release and comfort herself. One or two months ago, she was admitted to the hospital due to her continuous chest pain and shortness and tightness of breath. Then she got fainted. May be she got mild heart attack. After the blood test and angiogram results, it stated clotting of blood in the heart. The blood clot completely obstructs a coronary artery supplying blood to her heart muscle. The doctor also stated magnesium deficiency is heart arrhythmia that was weakening her heart muscle. When her heart can't pump enough blood to meet her body's needs, blood flow slows which can cause clots to form. The doctor injected her blood thinning medication and kept her relaxed in the hospital for about two weeks with a nasal cannula attached to the oxygen supply. After that episode, her physician prescribes her clopilet a 75 mg (q.d.) for thinning blood to avoid the clotting of blood. Due to the medications, her liver gets much toxins, that make her histamine level is high can cause pruritus and dryness. She is always complaining the itchiness most of the time. Whenever she causes the episodes of angina in order to prevent the angina from occurring, we apply nitroglycerin spray to her several times either day or night. Is there any other option to release her chest pain? How about the oxygen therapy? What we should do for her great health. No one wants to see his parent severe suffering with great sorrow. Please assist me with your precious, valuable sound suggestion with earliest response. Thank you very much in advance.

I feel immensly sorry for all that she is suffering from. All that is you narrated is ageing issues. Multiple complaints one related to other mostly medication related. Vit d deficiency because she is not exposed to sufficient natural light. Electrolyte deficiencies due to certain medication. The cardiologist is doing there best, just follow his advise and be ready to accept the fact which are inevitable.

I’ve had redness on my penis that i’ve had a difficult time getting rid of. Initially, there were roundish red spots; later, after using a steroid, the roundish red spots disappeared, but a general redness remained, and continues still. Interestingly, i’ve noticed that when my penis is flaccid, the redness is hardly (or even not-at-all) noticeable. But invariably when it is erect – whether I have sex or not – it is quite red (ie. Head/glans and approximately two inches of the shaft directly below the head/glans). No problematic symptoms, like itching or pain (although slight burning during intercourse). But I find it very unsightly. The dermatologist who has now seen it twice thinks it is probably eczema, but isn’t sure. He said it could also be caused by fungal, allergic, friction, or other reasons. Here are the treatments i’ve tried: (1) first, I tried alclometasone dipropionate cream 0.05% twice daily for approximately 2 weeks. (2) then, for approximately two weeks, I applied ketoconazole cream 2% once a day (in the mornings), while simultaneously applying eucrisa (crisaborole) ointment 2% in the evenings. (3) then I tried orally taking claritin 10 mg for six days to see if it might be connected to allergies, even though I have no known allergies. (4) the last thing i’ve tried was applying protopic ointment 0.03% twice daily for approximately two weeks. While some of the above helped a bit, none of these got rid of the redness, which has remained the whole time since this redness first appeared (approximately four months ago). I’m thinking that the steroid probably worked best, but I do have some concern about using steroids on my penis skin, as i’ve heard it can problematically thin out that skin, but i’m willing to take some risk with this. I have tubes of what I believe to be two different steroids that I haven’t used yet for this problem: triamcinolone acetonide cream 0.1%, and clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream 1%/0.05% (base). Should I try either of them on my penis (or maybe even try over-the-counter hydrocortisone 1%, although this may be too weak to do much?) any other suggestions? (3) then I tried orally taking claritin 10 mg for six days to see if it might be connected to allergies, even though I have no known allergies.

I’m thinking that the steroid probably worked best, but I do have some concern about using steroids on my penis skin, as i’ve heard it can problematically thin out that skin. But i’m very motivated to get rid of this redness, so i’m willing to take some risk vis-a-vis using steroids there. I have tubes of what I believe to be two different steroids that I haven’t used yet for this problem: triamcinolone acetonide cream 0.1%, and clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream 1%/0.05% (base). These were prescribed to me for redness on another part of my body, but i’m wondering if it makes sense to try either of them on my penis (or maybe even try over-the-counter hydrocortisone 1%, although this may be too weak to do much?) I would be most appreciative of any input here. I realize diagnosing something like this without actually seeing it limits the helpfulness of your opinions, but it would still be very helpful to hear what opinions/guesses experienced professionals have about what this redness on my penis is, and most importantly, what I might do to get rid of it. Thank you very much in advance for any and all input.

Generally 2.5 to 3.5 kg weight loss per month dosent cause any problems. You lost too much weight too fast and body is still adjusting to it. Don't go for zero carbs currently. Moderate carb consumption will avoid hypoglycemia which is causing all your symptoms. But do not stop your exercise. It is important not to loose the will to maintain the weight loss. Only way is to exercise more

You can try hydrocortisone cream. Next up, find yourself a triple-threat product containing hydrocortisone cream, which will be easy to apply at home. "benzoyl peroxide lowers levels of acne-causing bacteria, hydrocortisone cream reduces inflammation, and salicylic acid removes excess oil to dry out a pimple,

Hydrocortisone. An anti-itch cream is another common way to soothe itchy skin. Get an anti-itch cream that contains at least 1 percent hydrocortisone.
