[Discussion][Medication][Doctor] uh , dizziness possibly , as well as , uh , one in 100 guys might develop tenderness in their chest , swollen breasts , or enlarged breasts . this is a rare side effect , um , called gynecomastia , and if it happens , you just cut the medication and you let me know , but it is very uncommon . [Patient] i'll definitely let you know if that happens .[SEP][Discussion][Doctor] okay . uh , we'll keep working at it until your blood pressure gets better . um , it can be tricky when your blood pressure starts to go up at a young age though , it is important to get it under control because it can lead to your heart getting bigger or enlarged . um , same thing that happens when you lift weights and your muscles get bigger , uh , and if your heart pumps against high blood pressure , it can eventually lead to heart failure . [Patient] i understand .[SEP][Discussion][Doctor] yeah , so getting that under control is really important to help prevent kidney failure , strokes , and- and things like that- that you're at high risk for with high blood pressure . [Patient] okay .[SEP][Discussion][Other Treatments][Doctor] um , the american heart association has a website called heart.org , it has a lot of really good information about blood pressure to teach- to teach you about it and how to control your diet with exercise . um , if you do your treadmill routinely for 30 minutes or so most days , that could be seven to 10 points off your blood pressure . [Patient] really ? i did n't realize that .[SEP][Discussion][Other Treatments][Doctor] yeah , yeah . it's very important to be active , lower your salt , and increase your potassium . um , the goal is to keep your salt under 2000 milligrams a day , the actual recommendation is- is 1500 milligrams per day , but most people have a hard time with that . um , so just take a look at the website and the dash diet information . um , that will give you a lot of tips and information to help you start learning about this stuff . [Patient] okay . i'll definitely check that out .[SEP]

[Discussion][Doctor] all right . so , there they will look into secondary causes of your hypertension . they have access to newer procedure based technologies that can lower your blood pressure without medication , uh , for example , there is something called a renal , uh , denervation , uh , where they go inside the artery that feeds your kidney with almost like a little coil and heat that artery up . when they do that , they can block the nerve endings that get into your kidneys and lower your blood pressure . [Patient] that's interesting .[SEP][Discussion][Doctor] yeah . so , that procedure has been shown to lower blood pressure by 10 points . um , there are of course some risks , so not everyone is a candidate . uh , but we'll cross that road , uh , when we need to , and let's just- let's just see how you do with the addition of the medication . [Patient] sounds good to me .[SEP][Follow-up][Doctor] all right . so , we will see you in two weeks then . [Patient] sounds good . thanks doc .[SEP][Discussion][Doctor] yeah , you're welcome . let me know if you have any questions . [Patient] will do .[SEP][Chitchat][Doctor] all right . have a great day mr. roberts . [Patient] you too .[SEP]

[Discussion][Other Treatments][Medication][Doctor] okay , and you can take it , but before you do , we want to try to reduce the triggers . uh , so watch out for greasy or fatty foods and sugary drinks . [Patient] okay , i can do that .[SEP][Discussion][Medication][Doctor] okay . and so , however , if it is not just these isolated inci- incidents and the symptoms are happening all the time , we could put you on a long term medication that would take ... that you would take every night . and so then you do n't have to use so much bentyl or the zofran . how do you feel about that ? [Patient] i was actually going to ask you about something like that to help avoid flares altogether .[SEP][Discussion][Medication][Doctor] yeah , there is . and it actually works on the chemicals in your brain that are causing your gut to be overly sensitive . one is called elavil , but the only drawback is that it can make you a little sleepy . how does that sound ? [Patient] that sounds like a much better plan .[SEP][Discussion][Doctor] okay , great . we can definitely do that . uh , just take it every night before bedtime . [Patient] okay , that sounds good . thank you so much .[SEP][Discussion][Follow-up][Doctor] you're welcome . and so i have gone ahead and sent your prescriptions to your pharmacy . just give us a call if you have any questions or need us for anything else . and then let's plan on touching base through mychart email in about a month to just check in to see how you're doing with symptoms . okay ? [Patient] okay , that sounds good . thank you .[SEP]

[Discussion][Doctor] yep , that's right . [Patient] i do have a question for you though .[SEP][Discussion][Doctor] yeah , of course . [Patient] do you think i will be able to drive again ?[SEP][Discussion][Doctor] ah man , mr . watson , i knew you were gon na ask me that one . i think at this point it's unlikely that your movement speed will improve to the level that would be needed for you to pass the driver safety evaluation . now , i will say that i do occasionally have patients who surprise me by improving over a nine to 12 month range . and that , that definitely could be you . you could definitely pass it at that point . so if you improve and we can continue to talk about that then , ya know , i think it could be possible , um , and i'd be happy to recommend it . now , you could definitely also enroll in a driver safety program without my recommendation . so you could kind of do that preemptively , and then we could continue to watch for your improvement as we go . [Patient] okay . i kinda figured that anyway but i just thought i'd ask . i do n't like to burden anyone when i just need to run to the store but i also know that i need to be safe .[SEP][Discussion][Follow-up][Doctor] yeah , your safety is our number one priority and , ya know , i'm sure your daughters do n't mind as much , right , they want to keep you here and have you safe . but , i overall am very pleased with how much you have improved . and so , i'm sure when we talk again in three months , we'll continue to be on that upward trajectory or improvement . [Patient] i sure hope so , doc . [Patient Guest] we really appreciate all that you've done . do we make the appointment out front ?[SEP][Chitchat][Doctor] yeah , that would be great . the girls up front will take care of you and get you settled for three months from now , and you both take care , all right ?

[Other Treatments][Reassessment][Doctor] and you've identified trigger foods like spicy foods , carbonated bev- beverages , citrus , and tomato-based foods , but you have n't cut these foods out of your diet completely yet . so the first thing i'd try is changing your diet because these foods can exacerbate your gerd , even though you're taking the ppi . [Patient] okay , yeah , i could definitely do a better job of avoiding those foods .[SEP][Discussion][Doctor] great . so stress is another trigger that we need to address . high stress can cause worsening of your symptoms . [Patient] yeah , stress and anxiety are definitely big problems for me .[SEP][Discussion][Medication][Doctor] so working on that may help with your gerd . additionally , we can consider trying a different ppi since the only one you've tried up to this point is omeprazole . if you're okay with this , we can switch your omeprazole to nexium . [Patient] that's fine with me . i'm definitely open to trying whatever .[SEP][Discussion][Medication][Diagnostic Testing][Doctor] perfect . i will send a prescription for nexium 40 milligrams twice daily to your pharmacy on file . i'll also recommend that you have a procedure called a egd , or upper endoscopy , to look for potential causes of the gerd . we'd sedate you and then pass a small camera through your mouth , down your throat , through your stomach , and end in the small intestines . we'd look for any ulcers or signs of precancerous or cancerous conditions that we can take biopsies at the same time if we see anything . [Patient] okay . can i schedule that today ?[SEP][Follow-up][Doctor] yeah . you can get scheduled at checkout desk . i'll have you follow up with me in the office for the egd so we can discuss the results and talk about how you're doing with the dietary , stress , and medication changes . how does all of that sound ?

[Discussion][Medication][Doctor] well , my thoughts are that you actually should be vaccinated . i think you are high risk . if you get covid it's not going to be good for you . [Patient] okay .[SEP][Discussion][Medication][Doctor] and i think it's safe . i mean , i understand and hear you . all of these stories out there about this , uh , regarding the vaccine . but i've seen all the bad things that could happen from covid . people have died in my practice , and i do n't disagree that if you got covid you'd probably be okay . [Patient] yeah .[SEP][Discussion][Doctor] but i would consider you as someone that would make me a little bit concerned . i have had healthy people die from covid . [Patient] mm-hmm .[SEP][Discussion][Medication][Doctor] i've had some people get really , really sick from it . so personally , i believe that this vaccine is completely safe . i really think that .

[Discussion][Doctor] yeah . right now the numbers are low . even with the delta variant , when it starts mutating , it's actually good because it becomes more contagious , but less deadly . [Patient] okay .[SEP][Discussion][Doctor] so that's what's gon na happen with covid . that's what's mo- most of the science supports and this is how most pandemics end , is that the virus starts losing its potency . [Patient] sure .[SEP][Chitchat][Doctor] but think about it , and if you have any more questions you can certainly let me know , okay ?

[Personal History][Doctor] goodness . okay . then what happened ? [Patient Guest] yeah . so i took her back again and they did more testing . i think they did an ultrasound or something , and that's where they found that one kidney was bigger .[SEP][Personal History][Doctor] okay . [Patient Guest] um , then at that time they told us to followup with our primary the next day , which we did . um , but he was heading out on vacation , so he only saw her for a brief 10 minutes and then we were out the door . so she was still throwing up , in a lot of pain , so i took work off to help her .[SEP][Personal History][Doctor] wow . okay . [Patient Guest] uh , we took her down to jacksonville , where they did see her and basically told us the same thing , that they did n't think one of her kidneys was working at all . they called it atrophic and that it was a lot smaller than the other one .[SEP][Personal History][Doctor] all right-y . then- then what happened ? [Patient Guest] yeah . then , um , they found cysts or something on her kidney and ovaries and maybe some other places . her lymph nodes were swollen and they found some infection . um , they told us to followup with her doctor , which we figured since she was still sick .[SEP][Personal History][Doctor] okay . and then when you followed up with your doctor , what happened then ? [Patient Guest] yeah . it did n't seem to be getting any better within a day or two , so we followed back up with her doctor , who was , of course , still out of town with no one to see her in his place . so we ended up coming to atlanta . we stayed here for about four days . um , they did see her and treated her .[SEP]

[Acute Symptoms][Personal History][Chitchat][Doctor] okay . i am so sorry for all of that back and forth , but glad to know that there was some light at the end of that tunnel . [Patient Guest] thank you . and then after they saw her , she did seem to get a little better . she has n't had any more throwing up or anything since , but she still complains about a lot of pain in her stomach .[SEP][Acute Symptoms][Doctor] mhm . okay . [Patient Guest] yeah . and she mentions burning too , especially when she eats and stuff like that .[SEP][Personal History][Doctor] all right-y . okay . well , that was a really good review . so , ashley , before all of this , would you say that , all in all , you were a pretty healthy child ? [Patient Guest] she is , yeah . before that , she was completely fine . uh , they said they think at some point she had a severe infection that might've affected her kidney .[SEP][Therapeutic History][Personal History][Doctor] got you . okay . [Patient Guest] so one other thing , too , um , when she was four years old she was in the hospital three or four times , sometimes for three days at a time . i do n't think they did any tests to see what the infection was or even where it was coming from . um , they just gave her fluids and antibiotic and they would send us home .[SEP][Personal History][Doctor] hmm . okay . [Patient Guest] yeah . and so a week or two later , she would have a fever and symptoms and basically the same thing . we went through that for a couple of months , and then it just stopped . so she had no problem since , but the doctor suspects that she's had kidney problems since then . so we just wan na see if she's all right or if she ... if it needs to be taken out maybe . we wan na do whatever needs to be done .[SEP]
