I went to the doctor like 10 years ago and had an echo from a cardiologist in town all he said was "leaky valve". So I got pregnant in July of this year and they did another echo a month ago. I went to the doctor today and he (the obgyn) said they would refer me to Barnes in Stl for a different kind of echo because the current echo came back abnormal. I already know I have a small tricuspid leak. He said they wanted to rule out pulmonary hypertension. If I had that wouldn t my cardiologist of gotten that from the first echo and wouldn t I be dead by now.. any input is great thanks.

My dad wants to buy us a cruise for our honeymoon. He is going to use his credit card to pay for it online. Do I need to do anything? Will i need the credit card when checking in?

It's like a raised bump I just noticed it today. It doesn't hurt it isn't red anywhere other than the spot. Its oval shaped. I have not been around anyone. Its on my side/back right around the kidney area.. Any clues as to what this could be? I have no symptoms.

My kitten had an eye infection her eye was really red and swollen had pus and was watery.. I have been giving her antibiotics both bacterial and viral. There is no more pus or water or swelling. And most of the time she can open her eye fine but sometimes she still has it half closed. There is no more redness or anything. Any ideas?

So a few weeks ago my cat that I have had for 6 years had an eye infection i took him to the vet they gave him triple antibiotic ointment and sent him home. I took him for his check up a week later and it had only gotten slightly better so she gave me something for a viral infection. Anyways I woke up today and my kitten who is about 10 weeks old has the same eye problem. But her eye has more water and pus. I can not afford to take her to the vet at the moment because they are going to want to give her her shots too. Anyways do you think it would hurt to use the triple antibiotic stuff in her eye? and put a little of the viral infection stuff in her food? i WILL take her to the vet if need be. But i have just had the same thing happen so i kind of know what to do . What are your thoughts

Okay so I was on a local yardsale facebook and I seen that there were kittens. A ladys son found 11 kittens on the side of the road. So I went and got one. I have had her for 6 weeks and when I got her I am not positive on how old she was. She was very small but I am not sure if it was the worms or if she was the runt. I am guessing she is probably about 12 weeks now. If that. Anyways when I first got her I kept her in a separate room with her own litter box and she always used it just fine. Now that she is a little bigger I brought the litter box out of the room and put it in the living room so i could make sure that only she used it and not the other cats. And she used it just fine. I moved it down the hall a little and she still tries to go to the bathroom where it use to be. Even after i have picked her up and put her in the box and she has went in it in the new spot like 4 times. Should i just keep putting her in the box until she learns? Or is there maybe something wrong with her sense of smell? I have no idea. All six of my cats are rescues. And I have never had a problem with anything except when my cat had a UTI.

Alright I took him to the vet the day after I first seen the pus. She gave him some triple antibiotic ointment and diagnosed him with conjunctivitis. I used the ointment for a week and took him back for his follow up. His eye was much better but not yet fully open. She said to keep using the ointment for a few more days. So I did. He got better and his eye was fine for about a week then I started noticing a booger like and watery discharge so I called them and talked to her and she gave him some stuff you put ontop his food for a viral infection. I have not used it yet because I just got it. Anyways in read online about bacterial infections causing pus. She told me that it was not bacterial. How would she know? They didn't take any blood or anything. So I am going to use this stuff and see how it works. He is eating drinking and acting normal. Anyone had this problem?

Okay I took my cat to the vet today because last night I noticed his eye had pus in it. So I took him this morning and she confirmed that he does have conjunctivitis a slight case.. So she gave me an ointment to put on his eye.. Can someone please explain to me how I am supposed to use this? His eye is not matted shut and it's hard to just rub the stuff in his eye.. I am a little confused on how to used this stuff. Any answers would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I just bought a juicer and am about to buy the produce. I have no idea how many a day you are supposed to have? or allowed?

I have been a drinker for quite some time now. and the past two nights i will go to bed at like 5am and wake up at 8 or 9 to pee and my temples feel like they are going to explode. Is this from the alcohol? Cuz when i wake up for the day I am fine and never have any headaches or anything

I was cooking dinner and all the sudden my face got a bit hot both my hands started shaking . Not bad but just like when your nervous. I didn't have any other symptoms. And i still don't. I took a xanax and it went away in about 20 mins. I took two Zantac like 30 minutes before this happened.. I don't know if that would of caused it?

I never filled out an application or anything it was basically just my friend told her that i would be a good fit. Because i have worked in the resturant business for 10 years.And this job interview was for a bakery. Anyways i had an interview today that lasted about 15 minutes. She told me all about the job and what i would be doing. But then she said well i am still talking to about 4 people so i will let you know by the end of the week...

My friend is 5"2 or maybe 5"1 and weighs 260. She is going to start weight watchers and quit drinking. How much weight do you think she can lose and what are some things to help

It was just the average cold. But today i started to feel like shi* My back kinda hurts upper middle.. I have a fever of 100.3. It will go away if i drink water or eat a popsicle but it comes right back. And i can feel mucus sitting in my chest and if i breathe in i cough. any idea what this could be from?

It started friday night. I have been a big beer drinker for like 5 years and its been one week to the day that i quit. Its my right kidney only. its been a dull pain for two days now it seems to be getting worse. i am calling the doctor in the morning. but figured id get some opionions here for now.

My grandma is 84 and she's going Thursday to get her other breast cut off because she has had cancer before. Anyways I was just wondering do people die when they go under the knife

She got it cut out and had been fine since. She didn't do any treatment or anything. But she had a place on her other breast and went to the doctor and today they called and said she has cancer cells.. Does anyone know what that means

Alright we own a restaurant and all work together. So I walked back to the office one day To find my bf cleaning up his mess. My mom walked down the hall at the same time. He says he was wacking off alone. But I doubt it. He came on to me at home for two days before that happened and he said "well I didn't know of I would get any that night"... Idk what's going on, any thoughts.
