A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, I FELT REALLY TIRED AND LAYED DOWN ON THE COUCH TO TAKE A NAP BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HEART FELT LIKE IT STOPPED AND I STARTED TO PASS OUT. JUST BEFORE I BECAME UNCONSCIOUS, I TOOK IN A BREATH AND EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL EXCEPT FOR HAVING A VERY BAD HEADACHE. A FEW MINUTES LATER, I WAS HAVING CONSTANT PALPITATIONS ( I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THESE BUT ONLY EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE). THE PALPITATIONS WOULD SUBSIDE AT TIMES BUT NEVER COMPLETELY STOPPED FOR ABOUT 24 HOURS. NOW, I FEEL VERY EXHAUSTED AND WILL HAVE A COUPLE PALPITATIONS HERE AND THERE. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE HEART STOPPING AND PASSING OUT IS WHAT MY OLDER SISTER GETS A LOT ALSO. DO YOU THINK THIS IS CAUSED BY STRESS OR POSSIBLY A GENETIC DISORDER?

I m 36 weeks pregnant with our 5th child. I remember getting short of breath around this time, but yesterday I also was getting some constant mild-mod. pain between my breasts--especially if I take a deep breath. The baby is riding very high, right under my rib cage and kicks constantly. It probably doesn t help that I m only 5 2 , so all my organs are very squashed right now. About 6 weeks ago, I started getting mild tachycardia (resting heart rate around 98-104 and occasionally going up to 116-120 at most). The dr. had done an ultrasound on my leg veins to check for clots and nothing was found. A CT scan was supposed to take place, but the machine failed to work. I was hesitant about the safety of the CT on the baby, so when the ultrasound showed nothing, the DR. decided since I didn t have any other symptoms, we could wait. So now, I have this chest pain. Is this serious or is this just a late pregnancy, bothersome thing to put up with for a couple of weeks? I should also add that I feel constipated (have been taking stool softeners) and feel like if I could burp, maybe I d feel better. I took Gas-X five hours ago with no change.

So my question is: Do I take the augmentin and metrogyl at exact regular intervals, regardless of meal schedule? BUt I still take the pantop-d 1/2 hour before meals?

Hi I have had pain in my lower right abdomen for years. Every emergency room doctor has thought it was my gallbladder but nothing showed up in any tests. I even saw a G.I. doctor and he couldn't figure it out. Lately I have theterrible pain again along with some vomiting and diarrhea feels a little swollen and the doctor said it's very tender. I had a cat scan done with the dye. The only thing it showed was a 18 mm ovarian cyst. Could this be the cause of my pain for so long? What treatment is used for a cyst this size?Thanks.

I am doing this for my son that is in Marine boot camp and stressing out about a pimply rash on his leg. He is not very informative, so I am not sure exactly if it is upper or lower. He says it is not painful and not giving him any trouble, but his drill instructors are noticing it, so it worries him. He has no allergies that I am aware of, and has always been the picture of health. No ear, throat infections. No hospital stays. Really nothing worse than a cold/flu. He did go from a northern Minnesota climate to San Diego, and of course they train outdoors, but he did not mention any itching either.

I've been referred to a more experienced cardiologist for my congenital heart defect. I forgot to ask what it was called.... In the right side of my heart, one blood vessel is normal. The other is not at the cusp, it begins above my other blood vessel and goes between my aorta and (??) the other main component in the top of my heart. Do you know what that condition is called???

my son suffered a gun shot wound to the thigh causing his femur to shatter. he suffered severe nerve damage also. he would pass out anywhere from 5-25 times a day, most of the time he would stop breathing. I've heard that this is some sort of syndrome but I'm not finding any answers online and the doctors just say its probably anxiety. he does suffer fom anxiety but says these 'spells' are clearly from the pain. any information you can give would be helpful!

Is there any condition of ENT that might cause you to cough up blood? Real red blood that pools in the tissue. This continued for about 15 minutes. I have noticed today some small bumps at the back of my tongue, could one of these have bled, causing the bleed?I have a history of lung Sarcoidosis (10 yrs ago) and it was presumed this may be connected, but the blood was 'bubbling' in my throat which lead to the coughing. I have allergy asthma, I'm on seretide 500 aquahaler, and my GP has now put me on a brown steroid inhaler to see if it helps, because for a few mornings after I coughed up the blood my chest felt quite tight. i haven't yet been referred to the ENT dept, even though I also have post nasal drip which would account for some of the coughing. (I have a chronic cough besides the blood bit!)Hope you can offer an opinion, I'd be very grateful.Many thanksJeana.

Please help me to get my 6yr old to stay asleep at night. It is my fault because i had him sleeping in my bed with me from birth til he was 5 because i was single and his dad had been physically abusive. But since he was 5 i have been trying to get him to sleep in his own bed and to stay asleep but have alot of trouble keeping him asleep he wakes like 5 to 6 times a night until i allowed him to have a tv in his room. HUGE mistake of mine now he still comes and wakes me up plus when i take him back to his bed he sneaks the tv on and watches movies all night and difts in and out of sleep. I spoke to my Doctor about this and he suggested i give him a antihistamine medicine as a sedation method but this still does not work to keep him alseep and once he gets to school he struggles to concentrate and becomes very drowsy and sluggish. Please help me i feel really guilty because if i sleep with him he does not wake up at all but he needs to sleep on his own because he is a big boy now and i have a 6 month old baby now and i am getting no sleep between both of them

Hi there. Please can you help me?. I have been on the contraceptive pill Microgynon 30 for the past 12 years and have had no trouble at all with it. It does its job contraceptive wise and I have never had any pregnancy scares or other menstrual problems. However, I have had OCD for a long time, and have been wondering if the contraceptive pill has anything to do with it? My OCD has worstened and I also have very bad anxiety problems that are most definately getting worse as I get older. It is now to the point where I am concerned for my health and well being as I am becoming increasingly unhappy and stressed because of my OCD/anxiety. It is taking over my day to day life and controlling me. A friend recently mentioned to me that her doctor took her off of Microgynon 30 because she had depression issues. Apparantly she was told that out of all of the different contraceptive pills, Microgynon is the one pill that can effect minds/mental issues??? Is this true? Could Microgynon 30 be making my OCD worse or atleast not helping me overcome it? Should I try a new pill?

A week ago yesterday, I took a Celbrex with a Zantac (I usually take it on the weekends so I can run my dog in agility).Soon after, I got a sharp pain in my stomach (high). I threw up all night and felt like I was going to die. I had a very sharp pain in my high stomach with sweats and chills. I was weak and shakey the next day but up and moving the day after. Then I ate too much on Monday and threw up all night again with the same symptoms. I wanted to die the next day. I went to see the doctor. My gums were almost pure white. He listened to my heart, took BP and that was it. Said come back in a week for colonospcopy and endoscapy and bloodwork! I left feeling worse than when I went in. He gave me nothing for my nausea or pain. So, I started taking Pepto (liqud), kept it down and felt better. No vomitting but chills and sweating, lots of sweating and weakness. I have gotten a little better each day. Now it has been 9 days and I finally feel like I am going to live. Gums are back to normal. No more stomach pain and, sadly, my appitite returned. I am goign to cancel the tests. Do you think it could be an ulcer or was some kind of virus?

On Sunday I was rushed to the hospital with a tightening of the left side. My face, neck, chest and arm, with a evere shortness of breath. I was released hours later with no explanation. Blood work was done and they said all was well. Since I've been experiencing more pain and discomfort. When I lay down my heart beats extremely hard, then I feel the tightness and discomfort on my left side of face, chest, arm with the same shortness of breath with some nausea. When I lay flat I can see my heart beat in my stomach, and when I close my eyes I can't sleep because of my eyes pulsating and twitching to my heartbeat. Last night I was up all night, but I got up with no discomfort, but when I got to work and began to move around the tightness and the excelled heartbeat and shortness of breath is back. What could be wrong? There's a lot of heartburn as well

I have a purple ring around the glans of my penis. I am uncircumcised and my foreskin has been tight in the past, however I am able to pull it all the way back with no trouble now and have been regularly keeping the hood clean. Any ideas as to what this may be? The purple ring is a little tender, no sign of a fungal infection. I have read that using Bepanthen Cream for Nappy rash may help.

Hello. I'm a 47 year old female. I've had severla lower abdomen surgery's ultimately a total Hysterectomy 8 years ago. I've been having lower abdominal pain into my groin. Also lower backache, frequent urination (no pain while urinating). I went to th ER 6 day's ago. The ER Doctor said that she believed that it could be Diverticulitis. I've been taking 2 types of Antibiotics and pain medication. It had not gotton any better.When I had my Hysterectomy they found that I had Endometriosis and a lot of scar tissue. Could the endometriosis return? Or could the pain be caused by more scar tissue? Please help....I'm in agony!!!

When I was younger late teens until into my thirties when I was very tired I could hear music in the air, but never locate where it came from. There sounds of instruments sounded distant and muffled but I could pick out different instruments, at the time I had no fillings in my teeth. I tried to block out the music but could not, only time made it fade until now I'm in my fifties and have not heard it in years. I tried to play the music with my guitar for years but never could capture it. I understand many musicians can hear the music. So, would that be a form of hallucination?

My 73 year old mother is taking 12 Benadryl tablets every day. She says she has allergies and has to take them. Some times she says she takes them because of the pain , I tell her that Benadryl does nothing for pain. Sometimes she says that she takes them to get rid of fluid buildup, I told her that I researched it at the Benadryl site and it does nothing for fluid buildup. She gets angry. She said her doctor said she could take this dosage. I told her that I do not believe that her doctor ok d her taking that many Benadryl pills every day of every month. I told her that I think she is taking them for the sedating effect. I think that this has been going on for at least two years. She gets very angry if I refuse to buy benadryl for her when I do her grocery shopping. I just found out today how many pills she is taking every day. Is there a problem with her taking this many of these pills every day?
