  1. Yes but hard to source and expensive.
  2. I am not aware of any brand of nitroglycerine tablets per se but there are related nitrate preparations used for this purpose e.g. isosorbide dinitrate (many brands) No prescription needed but you really should see a cardiologist as soon as possible
  3. Please do NOT "ask AI". AI programs in the public domain are not designed/optimized for medical research/diagnosis and will often yield extremely misleading results. AI just regurgitates information on the web (from multiple sources of varying or even no reliability) and weaves it into text - -with no fact checking or vetting of accuracy. It is not a "source" of information. Everything you might see in an AI result comes from someplace else on the web, often unattributed. There is no advantage, and much disadvantage, to trying to get medical information this way. Plenty of reliable web sources one can use for medical or health related information e.g. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases?dFR[type][0]=diseases https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/ Unlike AI results, the content of the above sites has actually been written by, and reviewed by, health professionals. And periodically updated.
  4. After menopause, declining estrogen levels result in a thinning of the tissue of the genitalia and urethra. This leads to frequent urinary infections, urinary frequency and painful intercourse, among other things. It is extremely uncomfortable -- and readily treated with vaginal estrogen creams or suppositories, however for some reason this is little known and little used in Thailand.
  5. Osteoarthritis is a form of arthritis. The most common form. No way a doctor would be wrong about arthritis after reviewing a Xray. It is very obvious. Thr only issue is whether the arthritis seen on Xray fully accounts for the specific symptoms. In the opinion of his doctor, who has examined him, it does, and certainly his symptoms are consistent with this. But there is also an unexplained reference to having "rested" for a year, which would have weakened muscle tone.
  6. What tests he needs will depend on the type of cancer he had and his current symptoms. Cancer is many different diseases, not one disease.
  7. Moved to Health Forum as involves a medical diagnisis. OP please completely ignore AI. It is not a "source" period, let alone an authoritative one. All it does is automatically compile things from elsewhere on the web (sometimes not really relevant, and/or inaccurate) and then weave it all into text. Crepitus is a symptom not a diagnosis. And one that can be due to arthritis. If x ray showed arthritis then you have arthtitis; most people past a certain age do to at least some extent. The only quedtion is whether or not arthritis alone fully accounts for the weakness in your legs. Arthritis can cause this but so can some other things. Targeted physical therapy/exercises are a good place to start and ghrre are many on uoutube. . Stair climbing is especially helpful. Do not persist with any exercise past point of pain. And if using Google click on "web" to avoid the (often misoeading) AI summaries.
  8. Again, off topjc post removef.
  9. Please see my reply in your other thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1360251-sick-leave-due-to-burnout-and-insomnia-—-what-hospital-in-bangkok/#comment-19791736 Psychological counselling, and perhaps medical treatment of your underlying anxiety, are what is needed not sleep meds per se.
  10. More off topic posts removed. Please stay on topic. OP has a serious problem/need so I don't want to gave to close this thread.
  11. Unhelpful posts have been removed. A "hospital" does not decide whether to issue a sick note, a specific doctor does. And consider how hard it would then be to go back to work. Time off, even if you can get a doctor to recommend it, won't be infinite . It will be time bound. Just kicks the can down the road without solving anything. And you can expect your employer to use the interval to find creative ways to terminate you. Since your issue are psychological rather than physiological, seek treatment for your anxiety and depression. For problems such as you describe a mixture of counselling (talk therapy) and medication usually work better than either alone. And it is advantageous to start with counselling first then have counsellor refer you to a psychiatrist for medication if indicated. Suggest one of these places for counselling: https://www.psiadmin.com/ https://ncsbkk.com/ While you may need counselling for a period of months you will feel some relief as soon as you have seen a professional and shared what is going on with them...as you'll no longer be dealing with things alone.
  12. Duplicate post. Closed.
  13. Full body MRI scans are never indicated. Waste of money and will do more to confuse than clarify things. Testing needs to be targeted and based on a differential diagnosis. For which you first need to br evaluated by an appropriate specialist. The doctor not the hospital is what matters. Please indicate where you are located, what type of cancer you had , what symptoms/concerns you have besides headache, and any other medical history.
  14. The TDAC shows up in their computer when they scan your passport. (At airports. Not sure re land border crossings)
  15. They mean date of arrival. TDAC can be done up to 3 days before that.
