question:i have this tingling(not painful) feeling inside my stomach on my belly button like something is attaching itself to my beely button/pulling it. it occurs occassionally and not frequent. i have also been feeling dizzy and feels like vomitting at times. Pls what is the cause and presciption on what to do to cure it.
answer:Hi.The tingling pain at the belly button with nausea and dizziness can be due to Umbilical sinus developing or out of the remnants of the persistent urachus or can be due to mesenteric lymph nodes getting inflamed. A CT scan of the abdomen can help for the diagnosis. You may need a surgery for such a condition. You can always have a trial of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines.
question:Hi im 32 years old and was diagnosed chronic ITP after a low platelet count on a routine Pap smear . After testing for months I was told I have chronic ITP and just be aware. My platelets stay around 114,000. My dr says not to worry unless I have gum bleeding or nose bleeds . I ve been getting red pin pricks daily but I don t think they are peticiae because they don t fade. Is this really something to ignore?
answer:Hi, There is nothing to worry about with Platelet count 114000. It may be a type of allergic reaction or something else. But please repeat your platelet count once or twice to reconfirm that it is 114000. I hope I am sucessful in solving your query If u have further you can ask me Get well soon Take care Regards, Dr. Azhar Sattar

answer:Hello, Welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das Look, your symptoms are really worrisome. You should consult with a hematologist immediately. One bone marrow study is very necessary. A flow cytometric analysis is must to rule out any possibilities of leukemia. Regards.
question:My brother has had a flu for three days with a very high fever . He is a 25 year old very healthy and in great shape, eats healthy and works out regularly. His fever was 39 C consistently. Yesterday morning he attempted to go use the washroom and he fainted for a few seconds. We called 911 and he was taken to emergency room. After running the first blood test the doctor said his platelets count was shockingly low 112. He said it could be caused due to the flu virus but could be bone marrow or liver . He performed another blood test and found that INR was high 2.03. He never mentioned anything about bone marrow again. I should mention his white blood cells and the rest of his blood work was perfect. The doctor said he ran further liver tests and they all came back perfectly normal. He will be going to see a specialist in the next few days but does this sound like it could be due to a flu? Thank you.
answer:thank you.only low platelet count with normal other hematological test should be evaluated thoroughly.low platelet count may be occurred after some viral fever particularly dengue and other viral hemorrhagic fever.ITP may be considered though this is common in female.liver function is normal and no abnormal cells is found in blood film.you can repeat platelet count after fever subsided.wait for the specialists opinion.
