Hi @Anano Im afraid I do not have enough information to assess this, would you have a picture of the rash? If you are experiencing burning discomfort or encountered a burn/heat related injury that is still persisting, dont delay having a check up with your doctor.

Dear @jxsim Chest pain with breathlessness can be signs of serious conditions such as heart attack, pneumothorax. It is slightly reassuring to know that you have gotten blood tests and ECG performed which are normal. However I will still advise you to visit the nearest Emergency department to get further evaluation or call 995 if still feeling unwell. You will likely benefit from an Xray of the chest that can be performed in the Emergency Department as well. Hope this helps
Dear @jamazecia2730 You should avoid oily food as the gallbladder acts a temporary storage of bile, to be released upon an intake of fatty/ oily food. If one's gallbladder has been removed, there will be no reservoir of bile being stored temporarily in our body to cope with oily food intake. Therefore it is advisable to reduce intake of oily, fried , fatty food in their diet. Hope this helps.

The AF indicator lighting up probably means that your mum's heart rate was irregular at that point in time. Some patients have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, which means that the atrial fibrillation comes on spontaneously from time to time. Apixaban is an anticoagulant (a medication that prevents blood clots) prescribed to patients with atrial fibrillation to prevent blood clots and strokes. Apixaban does not restore the heart rhythm to normal.
If your mum is feeling normal and has no chest pain, breathlessness or feeling giddy, there is probably no cause for concern. You can highlight this to her regular doctor at the next scheduled check-up.
If she has any of the mentioned symptoms, then she should see a doctor.

Dear @eduardo-swift . You might wish to consult a dermatologist who will be able to do a physical examination of your body and perform scabies scrape to confirm any presence of scabies. Treatment would depend on the diagnosis. Hope this helps.

Hi @andrewlim_11,
Do you strain when you pass motion and urinate? The lower abdominal pain may result from an excessive rise in intra-abdominal pressure from straining. Occasionally it can also be because of abdominal wall conditions like hernia, urinary tract conditions like prostate enlargement or intestinal conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome. If your symptoms are recurrent and are bothering you, it's best to get it checked by a medical doctor.

Dear @JohnnyDoe Prolonged PR interval might suggest first degree heart block. Generally treatment is not required for first-degree heart block unless PR interval is extremely prolonged(>400 ms) or rapidly evolving. Cardiac Pacing might be required for extremely prolonged PR interval. You might wish to consult a cardiologist who might recommend further investigations such as 24 hours holter monitoring or threadmill test. Hope this helps.
0Dear @b_itchy. You have likely correctly identified the trigger of your hive (urticaria). A skin prick test will help to identify the allergen that you are sensitive to. You might wish to consult your Family Physician/ designated workplace doctor to assist you in finding out the allergen and workplace modifications can possibly be done to reduce your exposure to the allergens. Anti histamines such as zyrtec are safe for regular consumption and helps in treating urticaria. You might wish to take anti histamines prior to exposure of your allergens in order to prevent or reduce the severity of your urticaria. Hope this helps.
