What were the result of CT scan - #18095
I recently had to go through a CT scan because I was having some weird symptoms that just wouldn't go away. It all started a few months ago when I began experiencing constant headaches, dizziness, and sometimes even a weird pressure in my chest. I kept ignoring it, thinking it was just stress or lack of sleep, but things got worse. My doctor suggested I get a CT scan done to rule out anything serious. Now, I have the reports, but I have absolutely no idea how to read them. What were the result of CT scan supposed to tell me?? When I first saw the report, it was just pages of complicated medical terms that I couldn't understand. I tried searching online, but everything I found just confused me more. I just want to know—what were the result of CT scan supposed to indicate?? Do they always show something serious, or can they come back normal even if symptoms persist?? I went to my doctor, and he explained some of it, but honestly, I didn’t understand much. He mentioned something about "mild inflammation" in one area, but he didn’t seem too concerned. Should I be worried about this?? Can inflammation in a CT scan mean something serious, or is it just a temporary thing that goes away on its own?? Also, I have been experiencing some strange pains in my body—especially in my back and shoulders. Could a CT scan detect nerve issues or muscle problems?? What were the result of CT scan supposed to reveal about things like this?? I thought CT scans were mostly for internal organs, but now I’m not sure. Another question—I’ve heard that sometimes CT scans don’t catch everything. What if something is wrong, but the scan doesn’t show it?? My symptoms haven’t completely gone away, so I’m still worried. If my CT scan came back "mostly normal," should I still get another opinion?? I also wanted to ask about Ayurvedic treatments. If my CT scan shows mild inflammation, are there Ayurvedic remedies that can help?? I know turmeric is good for reducing inflammation, but are there any specific herbs or treatments that could help heal whatever is causing this?? I’d really appreciate if anyone—especially Ayurvedic doctors—could guide me. I just want to understand what were the result of CT scan really trying to tell me and what my next steps should be. Has anyone else been in this situation?? What did you do??

cox 2 inhibitors - #18227
Doctor, I’ve been prescribed COX-2 inhibitors for pain relief, and I’m trying to understand more about how they work and what their potential side effects are. I know that COX-2 inhibitors are a class of drugs that reduce inflammation and pain by targeting the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2, but I’m unclear on how they differ from traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). What exactly do COX-2 inhibitors do in the body, and how do they help with pain and inflammation? I’ve heard that they’re often used for conditions like arthritis, but I’m curious about how they compare to other NSAIDs in terms of effectiveness and safety. Are there any risks associated with COX-2 inhibitors? I’ve heard that they may have fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to traditional NSAIDs, but could they still lead to issues like kidney problems or heart issues, especially if taken long-term? From an Ayurvedic perspective, COX-2 inhibitors may help balance Pitta dosha, which governs inflammation and heat in the body. Could Pitta imbalance contribute to chronic pain or inflammation, and are there any Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that can help manage pain naturally, such as Turmeric, Ashwagandha, or Boswellia? What lifestyle changes can support pain management and reduce the need for medication?
