If your pulse is over 120 per minute and stays that fast after resting for 5 minutes, yes. READ MORE
mNRA booster after 2 J&J vaccinations?
You need to wait a few weeks after the second shot before getting a booster. That gives you time to check out the pharmacies, hospitals and large medical groups in your area as to who has J&J and whether they will be willing to give her a different brand for her booster. READ MORE

Not really, you may just have a GI infection. READ MORE
Upper part of my stomach?
If they have lasted more than a couple of weeks I would see a doctor. Odds are it’s just muscle pain, but better to be sure. READ MORE
Diabetic circumcision?
The risk is higher with elevated blood sugar but still pretty small. READ MORE
Meniere's Disease and the Covid Vaccine?
I looked through the literature and it does seem that tinnitus and vertigo may be slightly higher in the first 10 days after the vaccine, and there is a VERY small chance of hearing loss. I suggest checking your antibody levels to be sure you need the vaccine. Right now the data leans toward a very small risk of you getting a little bit worse. READ MORE
I have a question about herpes?
Without a condom the chances are low but not zero; with one the chances are MUCH lower…not to mention that other infectious diseases are prevented too. READ MORE
Should I go to the emergency room?
YESS!! Preferably one attached to a HOSPITAL! This is appendicitis until proven otherwise. READ MORE
I have excess gas every day?
Get some Gas-X or equivalent, avoid anything carbonated, stay away from beans and nuts. This is almost never anything serious, but I know it’s uncomfortable. READ MORE
Can I use gtn spray?
No, it is for heart problems. I would prefer that you ask your doctor about an asthma inhaler like albuterol; if you have no way to get to a doctor, a nonprescription product like Primatene Mist is more likely to help. That gtn spray is not only unlikely to help, it could give you a ferocious headache. READ MORE
Why do I have fluid buildup in my sack?
Get to a doctor who can examine the problem and maybe do an ultrasound. READ MORE
The results of my CAT scan?
It could be something that was placed there to hold things together. Talk first to the doctor who ordered the scan; even if the object was left in by mistake, no need to do anything unless it is causing a problem. READ MORE
Really bad headache?
I suggest an urgent care clinic or ER that has a CT scanner. They can give you a good pain med and recommend a primary care doctor in case this becomes a recurring problem. READ MORE
Why do animal products suddenly taste like bad fish?
Unless you had Covid recently, I doubt that I know of an answer. I would recommend getting a checkup from a family practice or internal medicine and requesting a referral to a neurologist. READ MORE
Do blood transfusion help when in a coma?
The blood improves the body’s ability to get oxygen to the brain and other vital organs. READ MORE
Can I get the covid vaccine with a stuffy nose?
I very much doubt it, but if you can put off the vaccine until you feel better, your odds will improve further. READ MORE
