Can’t read blood pressure
Question:
Hello, for some reason anytime I check my blood pressure I get an error. Is this normal?
Nathaniel Okaiteye-Blessyn
No, this is not normal. It could either mean your apparatus is faulty or your BP is high above recordable. You need to go to the hospital for them to check with the manual apparatus just to be on the safer side.

Suprapubic tenderness in a 27 year old male could have various causes, including urinary tract infection, bladder inflammation (cystitis), bladder stones, or even issues like appendicitis or hernia. Even just pressing on the area with a full bladder can cause pain. If this persists, it's important for you to see a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I am sorry you have pain and pimples under your breast and the left breast is bigger than the right. This may be due to a number of causes including either an infection or allergy. May I suggest you see a doctor for further examination and if indicated, tests. You may need a scan of your breasts to investigate why one is bigger, and treatment.
Nathaniel Okaiteye-Blessyn
It could mean two things: 1. You are getting at that time of the month. 2. That "pimple" has started a little spread of inflammation into the left breast.

Please can antibiotics cause thrush
Question:
I was diagnosed with pylori (gastritis) and I started taking medications but there were no improvements so I consulted another doctor and he told me to complete the course and go to the hospital and test for it again. He prescribed some medications for me but I revisited the hospital last Tuesday and they told me gastritis was still positive and my lymphocytes level were abnormal. I keep getting watery and creamy thrush from my vagina it has made my vagina itchy and painful. I don't know if it is the side effects of the antibiotics prescribed or something else. Please help me out
Amanda Sackey
Can antibiotics cause thrush You probably have a vaginal infection like thrush after taking antibiotics for treating gastritis. You need to see a doctor for appropriate treatment. Thrush is caused by a fungal infection. Antibiotics do not cause thrush. A person can get thrush after taking antibiotics because the antibiotics temporarily disturbs the normal protective bacterial cover which usually protect a person from getting thrush.
CARLOS DORKENU
H. Pylori eradication has different treatment regimens. Completion of one regimen does not completely guarantee total eradication. Also it depends on when the test is repeated after completing the regimen. That is why the doctor will tell you to wait for about 4 weeks after completing the regimen. If the test remains positive after this, your doctor may change the regimen for you or change specific medications in the regimen. High lymphocytes may mean a lot of things (Please see a doctor with the results)Watery and creamy discharge from the vagina is most likely an infection. However, please see a doctor for a complete evaluation.

Women's diet
Question:
What's the best diet for a woman in her 40's?
Gracia Helarie
For a woman in her 40s, a diet tailored to support metabolic changes and bone density is crucial. Incorporating calcium-rich foods, such as dairy or fortified alternatives, is beneficial for bone health. To aid in maintaining a healthy digestive system, a high-fiber diet with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables is recommended. Lean protein sources are essential for preserving muscle mass, and including foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, like fish, can support heart health. Healthy fats, found in avocados, nuts, and olive oils, are also important. Proper hydration is imperative. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to create a diet plan that accommodates individual health considerations.
Sarah Okine
A balanced diet rich in whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains is ideal for women in their 40s. During menopause, focusing on calcium-rich foods for bone health, and foods high in omega-3 fatty acids for heart health, can be beneficial. It's also important to stay hydrated and limit processed foods and added sugars.

Best time to take in water
Question:
Please how many hours intervals should I take water?
Nathaniel Okaiteye-Blessyn
There are no specific intervals in taking in water. However, your activities during the day will determine how frequent you should drink water. For instance, activities that make you burn more calories or makes you sweat a lot will demand more water intake. As a rule of thumb, its advisable you take at least 3 litres of water on daily bases.

Question:

Gracia Helarie
You’re not prone to any health risks! Food supplements as the name goes adds up to the nutritive value. If you eat a balanced diet you don’t have to be worried about such…it is only recommended If the need be( case where there is a condition). Best advise…consume a balanced diet 😊
Phyllis Gborsong
You seem quite concerned and it’s understandable especially nowadays when there are lots of food supplements available and also being advertised. Truth is, you do not necessarily need to be on food supplements. However, it actually depends on various factors like your overall diet, lifestyle, and if you have any underlying health conditions. Supplements can be beneficial but they're not always necessary if you have a balanced diet. We’re advised sometimes to take food supplements because majority of us tend not to eat balanced meals but it’s not a requirement. If you are deficient in certain nutrients, you might be at risk for health issues so it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional .

Loose weight
Question:
How do I loose weight
Byrite Asamoah
To lose weight effectively, focus on a balanced approach. Start by evaluating your diet and incorporating more whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains while limiting processed foods and sugary drinks. Portion control is key – aim for smaller, more frequent meals to keep hunger at bay. Incorporate regular exercise into your routine, combining cardio and strength training for optimal results. Stay hydrated and get enough sleep, as both play important roles in weight management. Be patient and consistent, as sustainable weight loss takes time and dedication. Consider seeking guidance from a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized advice.
Amanda Sackey
You can lose weight by having available less calories than your body needs to maintain your current weight. Calories are the energy units you get from eating food or you burn when you exercise. Carbohydrates and oils contain high amount of calories. Carbohydrates are starchy foods in our diet like yam, rice, cassava, plantain etc Reducing the amount of these foods in your diet by what you eat and how you cook the food will help you lose weight. Reduce your portion sizes, grill, boil,steam or bake food instead of frying will help you. Replacing the starchy food, the carbohydrates, and oily foods with more fruit and vegetables will help you lose weight and provide your body with essential nutrients. Also, moving a little more, by exercising, helps burn the calories and tone your body. Failing what has been discussed, there may be other reasons for your weight gain that may need investigation.
Gracia Helarie
For weight loss, focus on mindful eating, listening to your body's hunger signals, and enjoy your meals without rushing. Aim for a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, but watch your portions. Regular exercise you enjoy is key for consistency. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated and help with hunger. Don't forget to care for your mental well-being with positive thinking, good sleep, and stress management. Always tailor your approach to your needs and consider consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

CARLOS DORKENU
It is always advisable to do at least three basic tests once you are told that you have hepatitis B (tested positive for the surface antigen). These are 1. Liver function test 2. Hepatitis B profile 3. Viral Load Your doctor may add an abdominal Ultrasound scan depending on the results of the tests above. Currently, there is no cure for hepatitis B infection, however, there are medications to slow down the progression of the disease. Whether or not your doctor will put you on such medications depends on the results from the tests above. There are also liver protective medications which you may be given. These only help to augment the function of your liver. Please avoid the use of herbal medication as they may worsen your prognosis. Your doctor may not put you on medications again, based on the results of the tests above, but will schedule you for review at regular interest. Do well to adhere.

Why don't I feel full after eating
Question:
I was diagnosed with pylori and I find it difficult eating and do not even fill full after I finish eating. I feel very weak and empty in my stomach when I'm hungry. Please what are the foods to eat?
Kelvin Owusu
Sorry about your predicament. How was the diagnosis made? Did you do an endoscopy? It is important to go back for a review so we know for sure that we are dealing with a simple H. Pylori infection, and also to be properly treated. Sometimes the first treatment may not deal with the infection completely and a repeat treatment maybe required, or it could be something totally unrelated that is going on.Thanks
Amanda Sackey
There maybe many reasons why you don’t feel full after eating. These may include your history of having had a pylori infection. You may still have the pylori infection or have a reinfection. You may have another illness for example a hormonal problem like a thyroid disease. You maybe pregnant. You may not be eating sufficient food or well balanced meals. You may have worms. I will be able to advise on what food to eat after I have some more information and do some investigations.
Sarah Okine
It sounds like you're experiencing challenges with feeling full after eating, especially since you've been diagnosed with H. pylori. It's important to continue monitoring and reviewing your symptoms with your healthcare provider, regardless. Together, we can adjust your diet to support your recovery and improve your comfort after meals. Let's focus on incorporating foods that are gentle on your stomach and help you feel satisfied.
