Health - 18 November 2006

Before you assume anything, I'm a 16 year old GUY :O Ok this is seriously worring me, I'm going to the doctor tomorrow but still. My leftnipple hurts whenever I touch it. And when I pinch the skin around my nipple, it hurts really bad and I THINK there's some lumpy thing in there but keep in mind that im kinda paranoid. My right nipple is just fine and doesnt hurt at all, its been like this for a week now, please dont tell me its cancer :(

Its my left one, and it isn't like squishy, I pinch that part of the skin and its like a semi hard thing that's thick and probably the size of a small pinky.


So its not cancer right? lol I was jusit getting worried, and plus I havent worked out in like 5 months now since I have so much school, a job and sat prep classes, cant fit any sports or excerise time in there :( I'm about 5'4" 126 pounds.

I found a "house cat" living under my house. After a week I decided to go get him and found that he was pretty tame. I brought him into the house to put him in a cage until I could call the Cat Rescue on Monday morning. As I carried him to the cage I was going to hold him in, my cat saw him and began to hiss. The cat I had in my hands freaked out and one of his claws caught the knuckle on my left hand. The puncture wound wasn't that bad when it happened, but was a bit deep and I had cleaned the wound out right away. Ten hours later my pointer finger and middle finger are in horrible pain, especially when I try to bend them. Also, to the left of the puncture wound I have developed this red swollen area that wasn't there earlier in the day. Now I have been scratched by my cat several times and this has never happened. I am not sure if I should go to the ER or if this is normal...

I have smoked for about 12 years(i'm 27) and lately i have had chest congestion and coughing up yellow stuff, i have been short of breath and now tonight it hurts when i breathe. I know I know, duh, quit smoking and problem solved. Well it isn't that easy. So could this be pnemonia? I think i'm too young and have'nt been smoking enough or too long to have emphysema. I only smoke about 8 cigs Any insight anyone?

I was on effexor and welbutrin for few days on each and they both seemed to wire me up and make me worse on their 2nd or 3rd day. Which family of anitidepressants tend to make people relaxed and just normal? Those one's gave me more anxiety. Are the older technology anitdeperssant better for what I am looking for? I have not had much luck with the new ones. Please give me names of few brands so I can discuss them with my doctor.thanks

Hey, I'm 14 and my mom says ?I won't get well, my period until I put on some weight
I'm about 5"4 and I weight about 90lbs

So, I want to gain someweight and apparently eating Ramen twice a day doesn't suffice enough carbs for my metabolism. Does anyone have any ideas for healthily gaining weight for a very picky eater? =3
