I have been having fairly severe stomach pains and nausea. Additionally, there is a little area of swelling....basically a "pouch" right above my navel (right where my stomach is, I guess.) Any idea what this could be until I can get it checked out? None of the medical websites seem to address all the symptoms I'm having (especially the swelling.)

Lately i've been experiencing what feels like an electronic buzzing in my head. Sometimes it's more like a jet of air shooting from one side of my head to the other. There's no pain involved and never lasts for more than a couple of seconds. Is this something I should be concerned about? Thank you.

His understanding is that if he dont take plavix for the rest of his life, that the stent(s) will fill up. The Drs also said that the arteries are now ok, and his veins are what is still wrong with him, but they indicate that nothing can be done, even tho its a vascular problem in his lower legs. No Dr has ever done an ultra-sound of his lower legs, only the top half at which time they found the trouble with the right renal artery and left femoral artery and rushed him to the hospital. I have tried checking online for info and what I am finding indicated plavix for the heart and also veins in the legs, to keep clots from forming. He cant afford plavix only making 960 a month from SS. I cannot believe nothing can be done for his lower legs, especially when no tests have been taken, we are getting a second opinion. I am going in thurs AM for removal of lung cancer of left upper lobe, will sure rest easier knowing its not hopeless for him. Thank you all so much. Marti

Within the past year, my dad passed away, my husband underwent surgery for prostate cancer, I had lung cancer surgery this past May and my mom passed away last month. I called my family doctor requesting something to help me get along and they said I would have to come in. I don't like to cry in front of family and I couldn't even hold it together long enough on the phone to explain why I was calling. My sister gave me some of her Ativan but I don't think it is helping me. I really don't want to go to the doctor's office and break down when he asks me, "what's going on". I've decided to look into natural remedies for depression, anxiety, the blues and whatever else you want to call it. Any advice/information would be greatly appreciated.

I was wondering if anybody can tell me if the military was prepared for such an emergency that would have occurred if snake had not missed it's mark..

The dentist said that the cavity was big and that I should get my tooth crowned. Before he filled the tooth, my tooth did not bother me.

Been briskwalking/jogging 3days/wk x 1 month, still did not lose a single pound. I am frustrated and discouraged, but really wants to lose weight the right way. HELP

it seems like whenever i eat to gain weight, the weight goes to my stomach, and my arms and legs remains stick thin. This really frustrates me, as my usually loose school skirt has become real tight. I feel that i can't take it in this body anymore, and it feels so uncomfortable with such a bloated belly.

I am currently in ed recovery, and the doctor banned me from excercise.. so all i could do is hulahooping and some sit ups.. but my mum said that hulahooping after meals is bad, but the problem is, i'm always so bloated and full.

Help? I think i'm going crazy soon.. i feel like going back to the comfort of anorexia..

Ok here's the thing I have 18 teeth left in my mouth, I could never afford insurance until now, my mom when I was younger could never afford insurance for me. So to say my teeth are really bad. I have cavities on all my teeth and I brush and floss regularly and use mouth wash. Some say it's genetics. But I am so scared to get all my teeth pulled and to get dentures, I am only 27. I am affriad that my self estem will go down, but I know that I will be able to smile again. Has anyone gone through this before and if so what did you do to boost your confidence up agian.

I take a very rapid (walked fast) walk and when done, my chest tightened.

facts:

I haven't walked in 3 months
I am overweight
I was not out of breath

To me it is probably nothing, but my chest is still tight (and I walked over an hour ago).

Thank you

Xango has helped many people reduce their pharmaceutical intake.
Why take a pharmaceutical when a nutri-ceutical can do as good or better without the side effects?
