Patient discussion about High.

Q. high ESR levels? i had ESR test done after complaining of weakness, repeated upper respiratory infection, fever and weight loss. my ESR rate is extremely high 120 a week ago and today 114. chest x-ray negative, stomach Ultra Sound negative, other test relatively ok.... Any suggestions?

A. Extremely elevated ESR may result from several causes. However, in the absence of identifiable cause, it may be a benign finding. Not essentially relevant to your case, but testing protein electrophoresis as well as blood count and blood cultures (for the presence of endocarditis) seems appropriate. However, it's only a general advice, so clearly consulting a professional is recommended here.

Q. How does the time of high and low usually divide in bipolar? How long are the high times supposed to last and should the low times last more or less the same? how much time is there usually in between?

A. Some people rapid cycle (which means that the person can cycle through both moods up to multiple times a day) others experience long cycles lasting days, weeks, months and at times years. Like Joseph said there are no rules! Is your friend cycling? I hope he is doing okay!

Q. My father is suffering from high blood pressure and liver problem. I’m looking for help. My father is suffering from high blood pressure and liver problem. While searching the web I came to know of Chinese medicine. I like to try Chinese herbs to get rid of his entire problem. But I have a great confusion and no clear idea of Chinese medicine? Do you have any suggestions? I would really appreciate any help.

A. I prefer Justin's answer, you SHOULD always consult anything with your medical doctor. I never say that Chinese Medicine is bad, but the only lack is a lot of western-knowledge-based medical doctors are :
1. don't understand how chinese medicine works (because they cannot understand the language)
2. don't believe it because there are only few (or even none) published studies like clinical trial to have a evidence-based-medication

So, often chinese medicine can be combined with western medication, but for this you SHOULD contact your doctor and discuss that with him/her.

I have an experience of a patient with cancer, that believed too much on chinese medicine, and she rejected being treated with hospital standard procedure, the next 2 months, she died of that cancer. (the explanation is either the chinese medicine was totally wrong for this patient, or chinese medicine is not enough to treat that cancer alone)
