I am a 24yo female, overall good health, I exercise, I am not underweight or overweight(just right for my height), I have normal blood pressure, normal cholesterol, normal everything, except my pulse is about 55resting. I exercise regularly, I smoke and drink socially. I had a stroke Sept 2005 and then another in Nov 2005. The first one was labelled a TIA, and the second one was more severe and I had to go to the physical rehabilitation for it. Last night I started getting symptoms and went to the ER to learn that I was having another TIA. What is going on with me? I take my 81mg of aspirin everyday,and my plavix,. I am very healthy, but I keep having strokes. My doctors have no idea. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

I have a female relative who is 5'5 and thinks my main man is short because he is 5'9. I am 4'11 and he is perfect height for me. For Asians a man who is 5'9 is tall isn't it? But for white men is 5'9 short? He is only 3 inches away from 6 feet. So he can't be short is he?

be raising my dosage or switching my med. I have been on 75 mg for 10 months and it has helped with some anxiety for a while but I am still depressed and have lately started to get real anxious/ panicky again. I also sleep alot and feel really fatigued. I'm wondering whether an increase in effexor xr would help or make it worse or if I should try to get him to put me on something else. What have been your experiences?

It doesn't matter the environment I'm in my throat out of no where gets irritated, causing me to clear my throat. Except I clear and clear my throat and that doesn't always solve the problem. It starts to irritate other people because it takes so long for my throat to clear. Any ideas what it might be and how to treat it?

I've started dieting.....or should I say watching VERY CAREFULLY everything I'm eating. I swear, I've almost become obsessed!!! Other than that though, I have turned into a MAJOR *****!!!! I'm not starving myself, so what gives? Why since I've started all this healthy eating have I turned into an emotional monster? I don't even like myself right now! It's like having PMS to an extreme.

A humourous question perhaps, but farting & burping seem to be common at the moment.
I have a normal diet & digestive system, and my GP has no idea.
Hey Ho - what do you reckon ?
Carry on Farting, as a movie ?
Humourous answers gratefully received.

I'm currently doing my pre-reqs for Dental Hygiene, so right now i'm being trained as a Dental Assistant. I think i'm doing pretty good at learning and keeping up, but it seems so stressful sometimes. The doctor is happy one minute and the next he's stressed and i feel like i'm doing something wrong. Plus he likes to talk about how expensive all of his equiptment is. Is it normal for Dental offices to be this stressfull, how is it working as a Dental Assistant/ Hygienist?

The reason I am asking is my boyfriend has it, and has to get it removed by a plasic surgeon. I'm a bit worried about it because some sites on the net refer it to "tumor" or "cancer". Has anyone ever had to deal with this problem before? If so, can you tell me your experience in some detail? Thanks!

i have suffered with this chronic pain now for 4 years and nobody seems to know what is causing it.. The pain i am experiencing feels like somebody is constantly digging their fingers under my ribs, it is always constant but the pain does alter in severity from day to day, and does not seem to be dependant on what i eat or drink. I have been tested for gallstones but these tests have given a negative result. I have been on several websites where there are other people suffering the same as me and some people have reccomended doing a liver flush... has anybody out there tried this

Since about aug. I have had lower back pain and also sharp pain down the back of my leg. I have been taking advil, etc. for the pain. But this has been going for months now and it hasn't gotten better. I know I should go in and get checked, but I somehwat hate going to the Doctor. But, my only concern is that I am 19 so am I to young to have a herniated disk? But, it's to the point where it even hurts when I'm sitting and when I am in bed. The pain seems to be getting worse. Could someone please help me out. Please, no answers that say I should go to the doctor and find out. I know I need to go in, which will probley do so if it is not better by this weekend.
