Q:

Am I having a heart attack?

A:

While chest pain is widely recognized as a hallmark symptom of a heart attack, there are several other symptoms that could be a sign of this serious condition, particularly in women. These symptoms include nausea, fatigue, trouble sleeping, difficulty breathing, sweating, dizziness, racing heart rate and swelling. If you experience any of these symptoms or recognize them in someone else, call 911 immediately, as early treatment and intervention is the best way to reduce the damage and chance of death from a heart attack.

Q:

What is benign prostatic hypertrophy?

A:

Benign prostatic hypertrophy is a condition where the prostate gland in a man becomes enlarged. It is not cancer, and many men have some enlargement of the prostate that happens without symptoms. An enlarged prostate can cause some difficulties with urination, and this is usually what prompts men to get checked out. If you are noticing a weaker urine stream or trouble fully emptying your bladder, you should visit your doctor.

Q:

What is the cause of De Quervain's Tenosynovitis?

A:

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is usually caused by spontaneous swelling of the tunnel that carries two of the tendons that go to the thumb. This can be caused by trauma but it is usually spontaneous and unrelated to an injury. It is more common in patients in the fifth decade of life but it can occur in younger patients, especially in mothers with a newborn child. A relatively minor injury can occasionally precipitate this condition.
