Hy . Hope u will b fine. From 2 days i am using the medicine which my gp has suggested. Now as per my stomach condition its improving.i feel hungry on dinner and lunch. But the problem is anxiety or depression. As u know i have sent you one picture of red spot on my chest. Same 2 spots i have on my biceps . Which i noticed now. Someone told mw that these may b due to exercise. As i already told u that just after that insidence or my life biggest mistake i joined a gym. And i was there one month.

Brief Answer:
Cherry angiomas.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Welcome again to HealthcareMagic.
I am sorry for the delay in answering you.
I can understand your concerns about your health but you have nothing to worry about.
These tiny red spots that you have are not related to exercises.
These spots has nothing to do with that incident that you talking about.They are not sign of a disease.
I saw carefully again the picture that you send to me and in my opinion these spots are benign skin growths with vascular nature called Cherry angiomas.
They are often widespread and appear as tiny cherry red papules.
The only problem that may present cherry angiomas is cosmetic when these have big dimensions.
In your case they are very small and don't cause any cosmetic problem.
You have nothing to worry about.Anyone can have cherry angiomas (they are like moles) and they don't cause any kind of problem for your health.
You can consult a physician to confirm this diagnosis.A physician can diagnose cherry angioma by just looking at these spots.
Please stop worrying so much for your health.Try to think positively and do things that you enjoy.Life is beautiful and you should enjoy it every day.
You are so young and don't have any reason to think that something serious is going on with your health.
Let me know if you have any other question.
Kind Regards,
Dr.Rovena

Detailed Answer:
Hello again!
Yes it is true that significant weight loss isn't a characteristic of Irritable bowel syndrome.
This syndrome commonly causes abdominal cramping ,bloating ,gas ,alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation.
It may case slight weight loss but not significant because the diarrhea is not to watery or severe to cause loss of nutrients with stools .Most probably the weight loss is related to stress and anxiety because usually IBS is caused by stress.
In your case your weight loss isn't due to irritable bowel syndrome but due to your stomach problem,decreased appetite and anxiety that can cause weight loss.
If you have other doubts ,please feel free to ask me.
Take care,

ok dr just i have one question . i feel difference in my physical appearance means i have my stomach same as before but i reduced fat from my chest. is it all due to these issues?
Brief Answer:
It isn't concerning.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
I can't tell for sure but it is possible that your weight loss is more obvious in your chest.Usually when we loose weight ,we don't loose fatty tissue symmetrically in all the body .It can be more obvious in some parts of the body and this distribution of fat is different in any person.
It isn't a reason for concern.
Wish you all the best,
Dr.Rovena

Hello again XXXX
I am sorry that you are having these problems.
It is true that the color of your urine can be dark if you haven't drink enough water.
Also it is possible that some medications can cause a change in your urine color but this is not of concern.
Finish the treatment that you are taking ,drink plenty of water and you will see that the color of your urine will be back to normal.
You should stop worrying so much about your health (internet is a bad consultant in your case ).
I suggest to stop reading about diseases in the internet ,it just serves to make you more anxious about your health and you convince yourself that you have a serious disease.
If you are still concerned about HIV ,you can definitely get it out of your mind if you do a HIV test (although the risk of HIV in your case is insignificant ).
If you can't deal with this situation on your own ,then you should ask for help.
Talking to a therapist ,psychologist or a psychiatrist may help you.The specialist will decide if you need any kind of medication or if this is just a bad period and will pass with the help of a good therapist.
I wish everything goes well and you will be fine.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Irritable bowel syndrome.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again!
Since the color of your urine turned to transparent from drinking water ,this indicates that the dark color of your urine was due to dehydration.
It is normal to have frequent urination if you have drinked a lot of fluids.Don't need to worry ,this is normal.
As I have told you ,these alternating episodes of loose stools and hard stools ( diarrhea and constipation) with abdominal cramps and bloating ,gas are indicative for Irritable bowel syndrome.
This syndrome is triggered from stress and anxiety.
Stress and anxiety also have caused your stomach issues and all these are the cause for your weight lost.
Just try not to think anymore about all these.You have nothing to worry about.Try to manage negative thoughts.
Go out ,meet new peoples ,do things that you love (go to gym ,yoga curses ,dance).Think that this is just a bad period of your life and it will pass .
Hope it helps.
Take care.

It is important that you eat well and a balanced diet.
Eat small frequent meals.
Your diet should contain a lot of green vegetables and fruits.
Fish and chicken are a very good source of proteins.
Fill your plate with whole grains, almonds, beans and antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables. Just avoid fried food, fatty and processed food ,spicy food.
Avoid coffee ,alcohol .
Avoid all the carbonated drinks .Limit milk and diary intake less then three servings a day or chose a low -fat milk.
Remember to drink a lot of water (7-8 glasses a day).
Hope it helps.
If you have other questions feel free to ask.

Brief Answer:
Acid reflux or anxiety.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
As I said in a previous answer your weight loss was due to stress ,anxiety ,acid reflux.All these factors have contribute to decrease your appetite and cause this weight loss.
The medications doesn't have a direct role in your weight loss.
This feeling of pressure in your throat might be due to your acid reflux or it is just due to anxiety.
Please continue the medications and try not to worry to much.
If after finishing the treatment you will continue having acid reflux symptoms ,your doctor may decide to give an PPI drug (Pantoprazole) for long term.
Take care,
Dr.Rovena
