Why did I experience hypertensive crisis after eating moldy bread?

Patient's Query

Ate some bread which I believe had mold because shortly thereafter starting feeling as if I was seeing through a lens rather than first person and had a sudden hypertensive crisis with bp of 203/155. Other symptoms included feeling as if something was moving through my arteries from my leg then onto my carotid

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

Mold on bread could have­ caused a bad reaction. Some toxins mold produce­s may make you feel dizzy, impacting blood pre­ssure. These toxins constrict arte­ries, risking hypertensive­ crisis. Se­e a gateroenterologist quickly if symptoms don't improve.

I will be having gall bladder operation but because of high blood sugar my operation is being delayed...my general physician gave me insulin...thus my blood sugar level decreased however my sugar level again increased...so please can you recommend me a diet chart and other measures to be taken.

Male | 52

My advice would be to see a registered dietician, who could develop an individualized nutrition plan based on your needs and high blood sugar levels. Moreover, you should adhere to the doctor's directions about insulin dosage and timing as well as accurately measure your blood sugar level. In case of any doubts concerning your gall bladder surgery, consult a gastroenterologist

Hi I am a 21 year old female who has been travelling in Europe for 1 months. I have been having diarrhoea for the past week on and off and have been taking anti diarrhoea tablets. These block me up and cause stomach cramps. What would you recommend? Thank you

Female | 21

From what you've been saying, the diagnosis could be you having traveler's diarrhea, a typical thing when exposed to new places. Anti-diarrhea pills can make things worse by stopping your body from getting rid of the bad stuff that causes stomach cramps. It is best to replenish your fluids by drinking clean water and consuming sports drinks or oral rehydration solutions that contain electrolytes. Stick to the basics, bland foods like rice, bananas, and toast for a while until things settle down. If your symptoms persist, consult your physician for medical advice.

I’m 18 I’ve been having some bowel issues. Around 2 years ago, I had a big IBS flare up (according to my doctor) that lasted for a while. Just recently, after not having much problems since, I’ve been feeling constipated. This occurred after being under some stress from a couple school tests (though, to me, the stress didn’t seem that much different from other stresses I’ve had). I would feel the urge to poop, but very little would come out (even though I felt like there’s a big piece that needed to). When I would push any harder, I could maybe get some more small pieces to come out, though it would burn and be discomforting. This would go on for a while until recently I would have some mild diarrhea. I know this is a bad habit, but I did some reading on the internet and learned that I may be having overflow diarrhea. I still have the feeling of being backed up (that a big piece of poop needs to come out) and nauseous - however not much abdominal pain (yet). I just tried a suppository and unfortunately it led to nothing but some mucus coming out. I’ve been anxious about this, however I’ve started to wonder: Am I getting bowel issues because I’m nervous, or am I nervous because I’m getting bowel issues. I’m here because I’m wondering if all this is an IBS episode, or if this is something more urgent. Both my parents believe it’s nothing but IBS, however, I am a little concerned that it could be something more dire. I’ve been trying to keep my mind off of it, however it is quite hard after knowing a suppository wouldn’t work.

I understand your concerns. The symptoms you're describing could be related to stress-triggered IBS, but it's essential to rule out other potential causes. Persistent changes in bowel habits, especially with discomfort and anxiety, warrant a visit to a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. They can determine the cause and provide appropriate guidance for management. Don't hesitate to discuss your symptoms openly with your doctor for accurate diagnosis and peace of mind.

Is pain in left rib cage is serious UTI symptom?

Male | 16

This pain is likely not from a urinary tract infection. UTIs usually cause­ problems like pee­ing often, burning when you pee­, and cloudy pee. Left rib pain can come­ from other causes like straine­d muscles or swelling. If the pain sticks around or ge­ts worse, it's a good idea to see­ a doctor. They can find out what's causing the pain and give­ you the right treatment.

Tiny outgrowths found in the gallbladder are known as gallbladder polyps. Symptoms of this condition are generally absent. However, some people may experience abdominal pain, vomiting or nausea if they have gallbladder polyps.
