Patient discussion about rising.

Q. I feel that my temperature is rising, I am worried as it was told to me to not take on any medicine? I am currently in my 1st trimesters and last week I had fever over 100. I took paracetamol and I got well. Again today I feel that my temperature is rising and it has gone pretty high. My body is on high pain l and I think I must meet a doctor this time. What you guys have to say……I am worried as it was told to me to not take on any medicine but I had taken one ………what can happen?

A. First, congratulations for the pregnancy. I agree with falseact, you should see your OB-GYN doctor for a consult. But here I paste a data that might be useful to calm your worry..

Acetaminophen or paracetamol labeling, like all OTC medications, instructs consumers who are pregnant or nursing a baby to contact their doctor before use. Acetaminophen or paracetamol has been used for over 40 years and available data indicate that acetaminophen in therapeutic doses does not adversely affect the pregnant mother or the fetus.

Q. i'd like to know if natural supplements could make blood pressure rise within a year My B.P. has always been on the low side until at my yearly checkup a few days ago it was 192/100 on one arm and 2008/100 on the other. The only things I was taking were Strontium, vit.k2, and Strong Bones. This was for my osteoporosis that I was diagnosed with exactly a year ago. I'm now on perscribed high blood pressure medication but am wondering how it could go so high ,so sudden when my life style hasn't changed that much. We bought an acreage and are putting a fair amount of work into it, but other than that, its not changed. I am 63 years old, it seems that things are going to pot now that I'm over 60. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks

A. Hi,

First of all, you should check if the blood pressure measurements were done properly - many things can cause false elevated blood pressure (e.g. drinking coffee or smoking before the measurement.

It’s not impossible that the food supplements you describe may cause high blood pressure – the Strong Bones for example contains many ingredients, some of them are not well defined (protein etc.) Have you tried to stop these supplements and see how your blood pressure reacts?

Of course, before you try anything you should consult your doctor (to make sure you don’t stop any important medication)

Q. Rising PSA to 10 with two negative biospies? Expect cancer? 67 yrs old in good health otherwise.

A. High values don't always mean it's cancer. At 67 years old, you're prostate is most likely enlarging, resulting in the higher PSA results. And after two negative biopsies, it sounds like you're in the clear. Like Brandon said though, keep up with your regular check ups.
