🫁 HEMOPTYSIS: COUGHING UP BLOOD

Hemoptysis is the coughing up of blood or blood-stained sputum originating from the lower respiratory tract.

🔴 Common causes:
• Pulmonary TB
• Pneumonia/bronchitis
• Bronchiectasis
• Lung cancer
• Pulmonary embolism
• Bleeding disorders

🧪 Key investigations:
• FBC/CBC
• PT/INR & aPTT
• Sputum microscopy/culture
• AFB/molecular TB testing
• Chest X-ray/CT
• Bronchoscopy when indicated

⚠️ Significant or recurrent bleeding, difficulty breathing, chest pain, dizziness or fainting requires urgent medical attention.

Remember: Hemoptysis is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Finding the underlying cause is key.

🧠 Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a mental health condition characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states or identities, together with recurrent gaps in memory that cannot be explained by ordinary forgetfulness.

🔹 Common Symptoms

Two or more distinct identity states

Memory gaps or episodes of amnesia

Feeling detached from yourself or your surroundings

Sudden changes in behavior, preferences, or mannerisms

Confusion about personal identity

Anxiety, depression, or sleep disturbances

Difficulty remembering important personal information

🔹 What Causes DID?

DID is strongly associated with severe, repeated trauma—particularly during childhood. It is thought to develop as a coping mechanism when a person is exposed to overwhelming experiences.

🔹 Diagnosis

Diagnosis is made through a comprehensive psychiatric assessment. Clinicians look for characteristic identity disruptions and recurrent memory gaps while ruling out other conditions, substance effects, neurological disorders, or culturally accepted experiences.

🔹 Treatment

There is no specific medication that directly cures DID. Treatment generally focuses on:

Psychotherapy/trauma-focused therapy

Establishing safety and emotional stability

Managing anxiety, depression, or other associated symptoms

Improving functioning and memory

Gradual integration or better coordination of identity states, depending on the individual's treatment goals

⚠️ Important

DID is not the same as schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is primarily a psychotic disorder involving symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, whereas DID involves identity disruption and dissociation.

DID is a real and complex mental health condition, and people experiencing symptoms should be assessed by a qualified mental-health professional.

👶 COLIC IN BABIES

Colic is a condition in which an otherwise healthy baby cries excessively and is difficult to soothe, often without an obvious cause.

🔹 How to recognize colic

A baby with colic may:

Cry intensely, often for several hours

Cry more frequently in the evening

Clench their fists

Draw their legs toward the abdomen

Have a red or flushed face while crying

Appear to have abdominal discomfort

Be difficult to calm despite feeding, changing or cuddling

🔹 What causes colic?

The exact cause is not fully understood. Possible contributing factors include:

Immature digestive system

Swallowed air and gas

Overstimulation

Difficulty settling or self-soothing

Sensitivity to certain foods or formula in some babies

🔹 What can parents do?

✅ Hold and cuddle the baby
✅ Burp the baby properly after feeds
✅ Avoid overfeeding
✅ Keep the baby upright during and after feeding
✅ Try gentle rocking or walking
✅ Reduce excessive noise and stimulation
✅ Use gentle tummy massage when the baby is calm

Never shake a crying baby. If you feel overwhelmed, place the baby safely on their back in a cot and take a short break.

🚨 When should you seek medical attention?

Do not automatically assume excessive crying is colic. Seek medical care if the baby has:

Fever

Persistent vomiting, especially green vomit

Blood in the stool

Difficulty breathing

Poor feeding

A swollen or unusually hard abdomen

Unusual sleepiness or weakness

Poor weight gain

A sudden change in crying pattern

Remember: Colic is a diagnosis of exclusion. A healthcare professional should assess a baby with persistent or unusual crying, especially in very young infants.

💪 Muscle Cramps

Muscle cramps are sudden, involuntary and painful contractions of a muscle. They commonly affect the calf, thigh, feet and hands and may last from a few seconds to several minutes.

🔹 Common Causes

Dehydration or excessive sweating

Low levels of electrolytes such as potassium, calcium or magnesium

Overuse or strenuous exercise

Prolonged standing or sitting

Poor blood circulation

Pregnancy

Certain medications

Muscle fatigue

Sometimes, the cause is unknown

🔹 What to Do During a Cramp

✅ Stop the activity and gently stretch the affected muscle.
✅ Massage the muscle gently.
✅ Apply a warm compress to relax the muscle.
✅ Drink water, especially if you have been sweating heavily.
✅ After exercise, allow your muscles to rest and recover.

🔹 How to Prevent Muscle Cramps

💧 Stay adequately hydrated.
🥗 Eat a balanced diet containing electrolytes and essential nutrients.
🏃 Warm up before exercise and stretch afterward.
🛌 Get adequate rest and avoid excessive muscle strain.
👟 Use appropriate footwear during physical activities.

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

Seek medical attention if cramps:

Are frequent or severe

Last unusually long or don't improve with stretching

Are associated with swelling, weakness or numbness

Started after beginning a new medication

Frequently occur at night and disturb your sleep

Remember: Occasional muscle cramps are usually harmless, but recurrent cramps can sometimes point to an underlying medical problem.
