Health - 23 August 2006

i ran maybe a mile at the most. i was on my way to my house, then about a quarter of the way i noticed that i couldnt really breathe and i was starting to get really bad chest, and abdonimal pain. i just try to ran it off as i got closer to my house ( a block ) my fingers started to tingle. when i got home i was nearly fainting from no Oxygen. i laid down on the floor and the tingle went up to my arms then from my bottom jaw all the way up to my eyed lids. my mouth seemed to be that of a stroke couldnt talk, nor close my fists. i drank a grip of water and my family wanted to call 911 but i insisted on not doing that, just because i hate the damn doctors.
they tingle went away after about 10 mins!
what could this have been from?

I currently experience some gum bleeding almost every time I brush. I normally brush twice a day, but I have increased the amount/duration of brushing in an effort to keep my mouth clean and kill the gingivitis. I usually use listerine immediately after brushing. I also have a bottle of Chlorhexidine (not sure of the spelling) which was prescribed to me about a year and a half ago when my wisdom teeth were breaking through. The expiration date has passed, so I am reluctant to use it. Is the expiration date on Chlorhexidine important? My bottle says to discard after 4/11/06, but I was hoping that it would last longer.

Other things to consider:
- I currently have no dental insurance, but I expect to be insured when I graduate law school in 5/07, so I'd like to avoid having to go for now
- I have ordered a Sonicare e9000 electric brush, hopefully this will help matters
- I read some favorable reviews of the Oral-B Hummingbird electric flosser. Is it any good?

hi, i am a young, ambitious girl who is by all standards successful professionally and career wise.My friends look up to me and for some reason people pick me to lead them, they believe in me problem is i don't believe in myself.There was a time when i was very confident, till 2nd year in law school.After an incident where i did something i believed in but others didn't approve, i spent a whole summer vaccation crying, i worried my family very much. i suddenly turned clumsy, confused, depressed.I was second top of my class but i begun to struggle.I could not concentrate.I lost focus, i lost sight of my goals.Now i am doing my second degree and i have completely forgotten what drives me all i am left with is just the interest.People still believe in me...and that worries me even more.Sometimes i feel so down in the dumps the only way out is to go to bed and cry.Killing myself has crossed my mind many times but the thought of my family holds me back.Please please i need your advise.

I am an 18 year old female. I know that you are supposed to go to the dentist, the eye doctor, and the ob-gyn, but are there others? And how often are you supposed to go to all of them? Thank you!!!

My fiance' and I were fighting the other day. She says I never listen and don't care about her. So to prove that I do, I took her to her pediatrist's appointment. She said she had some problem with her toe that she needed him to examine. Well, I offered to go back with her, but there was a cool program on the tv in the waiting room, and a good gun magazine so she said I could wait in the waiting room for her.
A little over TWO hours later she comes out and says the doctor took care of it, and he said her cameltoe was fine. I told her for that kind of money I could have told her her feet were fine. She's got cute little feet. My last girlfriend had a hammertoe and that was nasty.
But I think he's ripping us off. Her feet look fine to me, so either he's a good doctor and took care of her cameltoe or he's making stuff up and charging us an arm and a leg for it.

Please help quick. She's got another appointment next week.
