Hi I've veen taking spironolactone for 3 weeks, my gynecologist prescribed it for a little bit of facial hair, it makes my drowsy, so I take it at night, but since yesterday I'm feeling weird, like weak,I just want to in bed all day, but even doing that won't help. I called my doctor, and her assistant said that it was impossible that after 3 weeks i would be feeling side effects from spironolactone, that the side effects are for the first days, no after 3 weeks, should i worry?. is the only prescription I'm taking, the only things I'm takin are B vitamins and Kyolic thanks for any help

I'm turning 5months/20weeks on sunday and I have not felt my baby kicking or moving I can feel the heartbeat if I touch under my belly. And the doctor made me listen to the heartbeat I'm totally scared cause it's my first and others tell me that they have had pregnancies and by 3 month they felt kicking. I'm due for the doctor next week. but this doctor I think he only wants my money each visits, because in no time after I go in he would say we are finish now and collect the money he does'nt allow his secretary to collect the money very strange. I'm really thinking about changing but I think it's too late now to do that. I was at this female doctor and she talked and tell me what i need to hear seeing i was a first time mom she did a lot of examination than what he would do. I went to him in the first place because he's connected to the hospital that want to go this was where me and my brothers were born . so that's the only reason I went to him

I'm getting divorced, and when my husband told me he would take me daughter away I started hyperventilating, got dizzy, tingly in my arms and legs, and thought I was going to pass out. IIt was very scary because I felt like I couldn't breathe either and had to sit on the floor to catch my breath.

I was playing soccer the other night wearing cleats on turf, well I went up against a guy and he cut the ball back and I went to turn real fast and planted my right foot, my foot stayed and my knee turned with my body (I dont know if you can picture that but its a very painful position) my knee popped inward really loud. Now my knee is the size of a softball and there is a knot on the inside of my knee and I cant walk what so ever. Did I tear a tendon?

I usually wake up without a headache. During the day, almost every day, I get a headache around noon guarenteed. It isn't extreme, but it is bothersome. I have glasses (about 2 months old so I know it isn't the prescription). I was wondering if it could by my TMJ? My jaw pops everytime I open my mouth. I am going to a dentist in a few weeks. Over the counter headache stuff helps, but I don't want to take it daily. I also get migraines, but I know that these are not them. I can function with these headaches, but they are so bothersome everyday. Any suggestions?
