  1. You are on 4 separate medications that each lower BP (though thd Doxazosin is being takenfor different reason) do not surprising that yoh ard having drops in BP. Your meds (and possibly the timd you rske them) need adjudtment snd this is best done in consultation with your doctor. Of thee various meds you are on, thd hydralazine is the most potent and used only for severe hypertension. It is also rapud acting do consistent withthe timingnof uour episodes. so I woild expect thd doctor to discontinue it
  2. THese sites often just list hospitals they have sponsorship arrangement with and i do not think all the hodpitalslisted perform Holep. I know rgar Bumrungrad does. I believe if woild be Dr. Teeraponbut email them to confirm . https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/contact-us/inquiry
  3. How long ago is "a while ago"? If 6 montgs or less do not undertake any load bearing exercise unless cleared by your doctor. And do not persist with anything that causes pain. Bone aside, you can easily pull a tendon or ligament by over-exercising. Everything tightens up inthe initial recovery period and needx to be stretched back out gradually. Swimming (actual swimming, not splashing about) is excellent cardio.
  4. Those are great numbers. Discuss with your doctor but if me I'd try just ezetimibe and repeat labs after about 2 months
  5. Thank you for the update as I was thinking of you and wondering how it went. I'm glad to hear it all worked out well.
  6. Are you coming to Thailand to live permanently or just for a visit? If not permanent (or if planning to regularly spend just part of the year here) then a travel policy might suit. For longterm cover you might be able to get a good policy for a little less than Cigna quoted you but it won't be a lot less. Also paying annually instead of monthly may reduce the overall premium. You can further reduce Cigna premium by either upping the deductible and/or including a copay.
  7. It is uncommon but amox with clav does cause sleep disturbance in some people.
  8. Of topic and trolling posts have been removed. Please stay on topic
  9. Dark circles would result from inadequate/disturbed sleep as would the drowsiness. Some antibiotics, especially quinolones, have that effect in some people.
  10. It generally depends on whether or not operating room facilities are used with a period (even brief) of observation afterwards. Cataract surgery as a day procedure is definitely covered, so is any other surgery requiring use of an Operating Room. I had epidural spinal injections covered as a day surgery. Simple incision & drainage, if done in doctor's office/outpatient clinic, would not be covered. A large I&D requiring use of OR would be. Some policies cover endoscopies. I am not sure that April does, but you should ask broker.
  11. Either is fine but large/deep mole may recur after cryo Note these methods are fine for non-suspicious mole. For suspicious mole needing biopsy, should have it excised. Often they can do a "punch biopsy".
  12. Aside from fibrates another option is ezetimibe. Depending on how severe your problem, can be used either alone or in combination with fenofibramate. There are locally made brands of both ezetimibe and fenofibramate. However they do cost more than simvastatin if that is what you were on.
  13. (replacement not resurfacing.) Prior thread by same OP. If you google "Bangkok hip resurfacing site:aseannow.com" you will find many more threads usually titled hip replacement but often discussing resurfacing within it.
  14. That is enough
  15. As of July 1 nothing is required if fully vacvinatedsnd there is no time limit on when the vaccinations were received.
  16. Best to continue the full course of the antibiotic. The other drugs in thd bag can probably be dispensed with unless needed for pain. It is unusual for an antibiotic to cause drowsiness unless secondary to dsturbed sleep. Which quinoline antibiotics in particular can cause.

  18. Many people have. In fact there is a thread currently running on it. Costs about 200k - 250k at a private hospital if one side only
  19. Not that I know of
  20. I don't know exactly but would expect consultations there to cost somewhere between 1,000 - 2,000 baht. It is the drugs that are likely to really cost as private hospitals tend to use imported brands and to have large mark ups. I suggest this doctor https://www.manarom.com/services/mhdoctors/adultdetail_en.html?id=28&name=Pichai Ittasakul, M.D. https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/Pichai-Ittasakul (Same doctor different hospitals)
  21. I have great trouble understanding 6.2 especially the signature part. Can you explain what they mean?
  22. Is it still required (for extension) that it be froma Thai company?
  23. Manoram has excellent doctors but is quite expensive, can she afford it? For government hospitals the best one is Somdet Chao Phraya https://www.somdet.go.th/ If it is a psychiatric (as opposed to neurologic) condition, any psychiatrist will be experienced in management. If using government hospital, use of the after hours clinic is poreferred as it will allow more time with the doctor and direct consultation with a senior doctor. How old is she and when did this start? Schizophrenia usuall yhas onset in late teens or early 20's. Onset at a later age may suggest an underlying neurological condition or drug use.
  24. He was referring to a Thai government hospital. All signs, forms etc in Thai, confusing bureaucratic steps/procedures, and no English speaking by the clerks and nurses. It can be very difficult to navigate the system without Thai speaker along at least the first time. If you go to Bumrungrad or other "international" private hospital then obviously no need to have a Thai speaker with you. Re Dr. Yongyudh: - US trained and US board certified. Worked in US for some 28 years and held a Professorship at a US medical school -Areas of specific specializiation include COPD -Has published in international peer reviewed journals
