Problems that Dr's cant figure out

[scherie88]

Hi,

I am hoping someone could help with this problem. My brother..whom I will call Joel, started to have problems with his right toes. They are turning black/blue. He went to the dr's, they ran a series of tests and could not come up with any answers. His toes are still black/blue, he started coughing up blood and is now having problems with his vision. I am going to call him today to find out what he found out about his labs. He had an appt. yesterday and I had asked him to find out any abnormal labs. He also is very inactive. He sits at his desk at least 8hrs a day. When I had to gone to visit family, I had stayed at his house a couple of days..He says he works no more than 8hrs a day, but I remember getting up around 8 am, going to bed at around 10-12 pm..and he was at his desk working this entire time. Im not sure how pertinant that info. would be. I will find out also-color of sputum and what exactly what problems he is having with his vision..I know this isnt much info..but any suggestions would be helpful as the docs cant figure this out.

TIA

Cherie

As per terms of service we can not offer medical advice and this is something that his doctors need to investigate. I am sorry for your brother but making any sort of diagnosis over the internet is impossible. He really needs to go back to his doctor
