Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

While sleeping at night I am having burning sensation on legs and sweating all over the body and having numbness all over the shoulder and headache. It lasts for 5 to 10 minutes. I have a feeling of pain while passing urine. I am 48 years old and I have removed my uterus eight years back. Please help. I am currently taking Diacardus, Cifran 500, Raceclo, Xykaa and Telvas 20.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read through the description you mentioned. There are multiple issues I will tackle one at a time. I would like to know if your ovaries were preserved when you underwent hysterectomy eight years back, and if yes, probably the symptoms of sweating all over for few minutes could be a sign of hot flushes, which is a post-menopausal symptom. The numbness and pain could be due to some nutritional deficiencies which need to be evaluated. Your gastric symptoms of burping and pain and the gurgling sounds are suggestive that you may be having gastritis or acidity issues. Try eating small meals at frequent intervals and avoid prolonged gap between meals. Avoid spicy foods totally. Sometimes antibiotics also can cause too much acidity, and also the analgesics (NSAIDs - Aceclofenac), etc., may also precipitate gastritis. Take tablet Pantop 40 mg daily once in empty stomach 30 minutes before breakfast for seven days. Pain while passing urine can be a sign of urinary tract infection. Try to get the urine routine microscopy and culture sensitivity testing to look for the infective agent so that antibiotics could be given accordingly. Please drink plenty of water at least 3-4 US quarts per day.

Investigations to be done

Urine routine and microscopy. Urine culture and sensitivity.

Preventive measures

Try eating small meals at frequent intervals and avoid prolonged gap between meals. Avoid spicy foods totally. Please drink plenty of water at least 3-4 US quarts a day.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
