Dear Doctor,
I did try to drink plain water in order to "thin" my phlegm, but why is it that sometimes, I feel even more inclined to cough and spit/vomit out my phlegm?
Is it because I have drank too much?
Your patient
actually, for coughs i find warm water comforting

yes meditation can sometime slow your thought down and help to reduce your stress. I do this when stress. you may read this book "how to stop worrying and start living" by dale car... to help you to improve your ability to take stress.Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Yeah... thats what I thought so too... I maybe too used to the feeling that I can only feel it when I am less occupied with other things.. and when it comes it comes with a bang..
Must meditate liao

There is few documented cases on how steroids can have a side effect on the fetus... but the common ones is the slowing down of developmental milestones...
Besides, who wouldn't feel tired easily after a long day of sleep...
Explain to me when you say that you are weak and always fall sick... What kinda sick? -

What you are refering to its termed expert power whichOriginally posted by DriftingGuy:I noticed that the doc is only 3rd level in the hierarchy... plus normally the heads and directors above the normal GP must also be docs wat
oringinates from within the person and its due to their possesion of knowledge or skills they have.
The power I have here is referent power: Where people idenitifies, likes or otherwise respect the higher management. Its usually associated with charismatic leadership -
congrats on the new clinic opening

Dr reno...
1) why do i feel extremely lethargic in the week following my period? is there a biological reason to that? by lethargic i mean always feel like sleeping. and when i take a nap, (on bus, in a chair, any place) i tend to fall really deep into sleep. not like the usual where i will be waken by loud noises. but when i am dun feel like sleeping, my concentration is not compromised.
Usually, it depends on how you cope with your menstruation... some will feel low and lousy during that period because of hormone surge (LH, FSH and progesterone)... These hormones are well known in altering the mental status of the affected and causing them to be much irritable and easily angered...
Some however maintain a positive lifestyle by practicing hygiene and take in healthy fruit juices and food to make themselves feel well and treat menses as a condition to clear the dirt in their womb.
Most after a potential blood loss of up to 80ml on average of blood during menses will succumb to the effects of tiredness and dizziness, sometimes even feeling their heartbeat, but mostly just do not have the energy to do anything. This is typical of a reduced hemoglobin count and to counter it positively, take food that are high in iron... -
Yes thanks alfagalOriginally posted by alfagal:i think u meant otherwise?

haha yeah....there are two types of synesthetes apparently, lower and higher. lower synesthetes basically are just like those you described...higher synesthetes can see colors in the abstract. but i guess it'd be a very colourful world for them that way. and, yup, you're right, most of us are closet synesthetes...Originally posted by alfagal:to me, its not really a condition cos it causes no harm, but i jus happen to have e readings for it (outside my syllybus). psychology is considered a social science, so it does involves science lo..biology is needed to provide us w background info before we can understand n come up w explanations (neuroscientific view is jus one of them).
maybe for now have to look into the fMRI n scans for better understanding...it could b how e pathways crosses (visual, audio, & somato) plus attention and learning. dun think its a simple one way ans.
for an interesting thought, we might all have synaethesia, jus tat we dunno how to use it or excecute it..e.g in (language) poems, we can use Cool guy n Hot babe, but we dun really feel cold and hot when standing beside them ma..we have analogies in using them as cross-senses but not in e actual synaethesia way. even when it comes to tasting, jus like synaethesia pple do (i see a tint of red, oh e colour reminds me of beer), we can only describe (oh v sweet, hmm abit bitter etc).
haha imagine them looking at a calendar full of numbers...woo colourful! -
Doctor Reno in charge of everyone under him..he can promote or demote ma..isnt that great?Originally posted by renorenal:No lar... he's not under you, there's just not enough space to type everything, so alex has to put it down there... sorry to burst your bubble... -
yup agreeOriginally posted by LinYu:yes meditation can sometime slow your thought down and help to reduce your stress. I do this when stress. you may read this book "how to stop worrying and start living" by dale car... to help you to improve your ability to take stress.
This is not a doctor advise but a xmm sharing her experience.
well, Complementary and Alternative medicines are helpful in promoting and maintaining health. tatz y many pple are doing it.
Meditations, Yoga, Tai-Ji, even Hynopsis helps in e mind controlling physical reactions. Known for relaxation, blood circulation and pain reduction after surgery respectively. Of cos, its not an overnight thingy...mus practice regulary for a long period of time.. -

Dr reno...
2) sometimes my stomach starts to get painful. there was no strenuous exercise prior to that. but most times i realise, that it happened when i sit for too long in the same position (like in front of computer, or on bed talking to friend on phone). at first i thought it's gastric and will go away after taking some milk. but i took milk and the pain worsened a little. only when i start to walk around abit then the pain sort of subsides. when i sit down again, it starts again. what is happening???
I suspect poor ergonomics and your posture needs to be changed. Perhaps you ought to change the chair that you are sitting on and try not to drink too much milk on an empty stomach as milk stimulates gastric acid production... -

If skipped periods or late menses, and the patient is sexually active, we would suspect pregnancy and proceed to do a Urine Pregnancy Test (which is highly specific after 5 days of conception with regards to the human chorionic gonadotrophin hormones)...Originally posted by alfagal:Dr Doc,
so wat wld GPs usually do when a patient goes to him/her with regards to irregular menses? eg. skipped periods, or late menses
If the irregular menses is chronic, an abdominal ultrasound will be done to reveal any presence of fibroids, ovarian cysts or endometriosis... If it cannot be viewed properly, a transvaginal (a probe inserted into the vagina) ultrasound will be done and a sample of the cervix will be taken (if there is intermenstrual bleed - bleeding in between menses) to rule out the possiblity of a malignant change of the cervical tissues...
