chonburi heart hospital ,have you used it,
Sheryl replied to ivor bigun's topic in Health and Medicine
I assume you mean the regular (regional level) Chonburi Hospital? As there is no dedicated heart hospital in Chonburi. Just the regional hospital (which covers all specialties) and a separate cancer hospital. -
Report: Shingrix in Singapore in one day (per injection) is possible
Sheryl replied to retiree's topic in Health and Medicine
It is not yet available in many countries, and the manufacturer initially had a struggle to meet the market demand in the countries where it was available. The stock situation now is better and they are starting to market it in more places. Remember that it only came out 5 years ago. These things take time. -
Bivalent Covid Vaccine in Thailand?
Sheryl replied to TravelerEastWest's topic in Health and Medicine
As far as I know no place in Thailand is taking names or reservations for 2nd generation vaccine. No place has even ordered them yet. It's going to be a while -
I am not sure they have the multi-parametric MRI? Last time I checked only a fee places in Bkk fid.

What you describe sounds very much like Perioheral Arterial Disease (PAD). You need to see a vascular specialist. I suggest one of these https://sriphat.med.cmu.ac.th/find_doctor?lang=en&doctor_name=&spec_name=15&special_name=48 -
Where in Thailand are you located? No point in asking about labs without first providing that information

There is a spray form of isosorbide available (though can be hard to locate) Agree though that if indeed the pain is from high blood pressure (actually sounds more like angina to me), better ongoing medical control is needed. I assume OP is already under the care of a cardiologist. If not, should be.
-
As far as I know nitroglycerine itself is not available in Thailand. You can however get isosorbide in both spray and (more common) sublingual form. Different drug but similiar action.

Insurance for Driving Thai Girlfirends Car
Sheryl replied to Steve80's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
This. As long as driver has valid lucense it is covered. -
Swallowing food may trigger cough reflux. It is normal to have more mucous in the morning as it collects during the night-- especially if here is any post-nasal drip. If what is coming up is mucus from the respiratory tract (as opposed to saliva or gastric contents ftom stomach) it is not a GI issue. Pretty much everything you can imagine has been reported by people post COVID though of course only some of it is actually related to the COVID, the rest being coincidental timing. Since it seems to be gradually improving and it has been only a month and a half I would just give it time.
-
Posts linking to an unreliable source advocating a disproven treatment for a condition OP does not currently have has been removed. Please note OP dos not now have COVID. He had COVID a month and a half ago. Which may or may not have anything to do with his current issue.
-
Mucus with no cough or fever or troublebreathing doesn to suggest a lung issue. I would just give it time.And take note of any foods that seem to trigger it. Also - was there a gap between COVID and this ysmptom, and did you change location at that point? As unrelated allergy also a possibility.

They sometimes subside with time, but not always. Or may subside just in intensity

Certainly yhe drug is available under SS for those voveted by yhe scheme. Normally prescribed only for outbreaks unless outbreaks are quite frequent But your concern about infecting others is sound so discuss frankly with your doctor. -
Cataract surgery prices in Bangkok and Chonburi
Sheryl replied to Imua's topic in Health and Medicine
Yes I had Lasik. With great results. I did it at TSRC (Thai Refractive Surgery Center). It was the first place in Thailand to do it and has more experiebce in it than everywhere else. I opted to go for monovision(one eye fully corrected and the other undercorrected,( to avoid the need for reading glasses later) and 22 years on it still works. They did my worst eye first as they knew they probably eouldn't be able to get it to 20/20. Waited a couple of months to let it stabilize then based on it they ppanned thd next eye. I ended up 20/20 one eye and 20/40 the other and it works very well. No glasses needed for distance or reading. Note though that 5he various risks assiciated with myopia (greater incidence retinal detachment etc) remain even after correcting vision with surgery -
Blepharoplasty is most definitely cosmetic surgery, and opthalmic surgeons do not perfrom it. there is no instrumentalization of the eye itself, the surgery involves only the skin around the eyes and eyelid.

Another possibility would be Camellian Hospital, also a nonprofit. Smaller than Bkk Chrstian and St Louis but for a common procedure like this not an issue. And as they see far fewer expats, they may be cheaper. When inquiring specify you want it done as a day surgery. Note though that with that you will have to plan on multple outpatient visits afterwards for wound care.

Cataract surgery prices in Bangkok and Chonburi
Sheryl replied to Imua's topic in Health and Medicine
Sorry that was typo, it is Dr. Roy https://www.rutnin.com/en/doctor/detail.36.1_Roy_0_0.html#thumb He is also at Bumrungrad and you can see his CV tere https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/Roy-Chumdermpadetsuk But treatment at Bumrungrad would cost substantially mroe than at Rutnin so better to see hiom at the latter Re optomap, I agreed to have it because exam was showing some retinal degeneration. It wasn't suggested prior to that, but in that instance i felt it was well worth it to be sure. (Turned out to be what is called "paving stobne" degenration which is benign). Like you I am a "high myope". (-14 pre-LASIK) -
I reocmmend you go to Bangkok, not treat in Pattaya. Rutnin Hospital.

Cataract surgery prices in Bangkok and Chonburi
Sheryl replied to Imua's topic in Health and Medicine
Yes, Rutnin has retinal specialists and is able to treat retinal detachment. I recommend Dr. aroy there for this. This thread mentions costs https://aseannow.com/topic/930942-detached-retina/ Last time i did full retinal exam there it can to about 5,000 baht. This was using some sort of special equipment that takes special photos - I forget the name of it - and was because there was some abnormal finding. Might not always be necessary.
