Online Clinics

Welcome to the online clinics

The online clinic service enables you to get quick answers to your personal medical problems from specialists, including consultants, GPs, nurses and other clinicians.

The clinics are hosted within a forum where you can post your questions anonymously and get answers, often the same day. 

A new clinic begins each month on a different topic but you can post your questions up to four weeks in advance and set up a reminder so you can see when yours has been answered.

If you miss the clinic you can still read all of the posts and answers to see if the issues you're most interested in were covered. Also, look out for when the clinic is next due to run and make a note in your diary.

The online clinics are hosted by talkhealth and supported by a range of charities.

I am 21 years old n for 3 years I have suffered from abdominal pain if I don't eat or don't eat enough I'm sick and will be in pain for up to a day. Even if I do eat I still get the abdominal pain but not the sickness I have even fainted. If i have a glass of wine or any alcohol even in small amounts with a meal im sick and im pain for two days some times longer .If I don't have anything sweet I feel sick and in some cases I actually am . I have been to doctors I have got gastritis and reflux. But I think its some thing else because the tablets im on don't actually work. I have had blood tests done that include glucose but they have come back negative. I dont no what it could be ?

my question is about my throat....it started a month ago and i started to feel sick and light headed... i stopped smoking, drinking coffee and all of a sudden i was getting chest pains... which has now gone. I visited my GP and he said i had a fleshy thyroid..ran blood tests and when they come all clear i was confused? I just don't feel right, now my throat feels like it tightens and have a lump sensation every now and then.... i get a really dry cough in a morning... especially after drinking night before its worse! Sometimes i don't feel well too?? I'm worried, should i be?? I'm having a ultra sound on 26th of this month... i also have a small lump that they checked which is under my jaw bone... its my submandibular gland.... im worried as all my bloods come back clear!!! im sick of waiting too..... can you help??

It is not about weight loss.

My problem is I often get whitish spots in my mouth/internal
cheeks or on my toungue which are sometimes highly discomfortable. They sometimes go away in a week but sometimes take more than 2 or 2 1/2 weeks to clear.

I normally do not take any medication for this. or for any other issues.

What is the reason & how can I avoid it ?
thanks
