Hello~ I have pvc's (premature ventricular contractions)
I've been to the dr/ Cardiologist, had a EKG, an ultra sound, and have worn a hear monitor for 48 hours. I was told that they could put me on a beta blocker to maybe help with them, but I don't want to take meds. They also said that dropping a few lbs, and cutting out caffeine would also help. So I stopped drinking all caffeinated products, and only have chocolate every now and then. I also lost a few lbs, but I've noticed that my heart rate dropped, and now I feel the PVC's more. I wanted to stop them not feel them more. How does one learn to live with this kind of issue? I feel them through out the day, and more at night. I'm told there not life threatening, but you can only wonder if that's 100% true. Your heart can do many different things, and if you already have pvc's then that it self is considered to be an irregular heartbeat.
I'm scared... scared to death. HELP ME! Please
Does any one have any advice?
Thanks much!

I posted last week that I thought I might have been preg...even though I was on depo..I thought this because my breats were very sore, swollen, and itchy..so I went to the dr, I'm not pregnant. he took some blood because i am producing milk but aren't preg. he said if my prolactin levels are too high there could be a tumor on my pituitary gland,,,in the brain, great for me...my question is if they arent too high and it isnt a tumor could it just be my hormones got mixed up from being on depo for soo long and this will go away on its own?

I was going through a deep depression and started eating at night ALOT, I am now trying to do something about this weight gain and have been eating just a banana before going to bed instead of a box of cookies or a whole bag of chips. I am feeling better but I am wondering is this fattening?

I have this pipe. I tried to fit it in the hole. In the bathroom. The shower head needs to be replaced. My girlfriend told me it's too big and won't fit. She told me to get a new pipe. However, I'm kinda attached to it and it's the only one I have. What should I do?

My father used to be an alcoholic. He got sick and quit over 7 yrs ago. The doc gave him hydroxyzine for alcohol withdrawals & anxiety. 5 months ago he though he didn't need it any more and now he has severe anxiety & paranoia.His hearing became sensitive, he is scared to use his credit card, only drinks out of water bottles and checks them before he opens it, hardly sleeps, moans and whines. Up until 5 days ago he refused to take any medication b/c he was scared of the side effects. This has been so stressful for my mom, so I called the mental health crissis clinic and they came out to convince him to take his old med hydroxyzine. He took it and the next day he had a severe panic attack and I had to call 911 & the police to force him to the hospital. They did tests and didn't feel the need to keep him there in the mental health clinic. When we brought him home he was furious with us & said he would never forgive us. He stoped that, & is taking his meds, but I don't see any change yet.

I am 24 and met a woman at work about a year ago who was 35, bipolar divorced with 3 kids. I liked her a lot and thought she was a very interesting woman, we went out and had lunches together and she told me all about this guy she was seeing who was slightly older and it was all secret because he was living with his girlfriend and had been for 3 years. I thought this odd but never the less none of my business.

As the relationship progressed I got used to her odd behaviour and found it quite quirky, I also met the kids. Until something happened recently, she started sleeping with random men she had met at nightclubs and having unprotected sex, also her ex husband came back to live with her for a short while. I guess my morals were called into question and I couldn't believe how this woman could be so carefree and I didn't agree with it. Since then we have lost contact but i miss her tons, wondering if her ibipolar illness affected me slightly or whether i'm ill? opinions please

How fast are you supposed to go when lifting?? Muscle mags tell you to go slow and keep the weights up for a couple of second before letting it down but I saw some videos of bodybuilders and they do it really fast.. And another question, how inclined is it supposed to be when doing inclined benchpresses?

When i was in highschool I was pretty chubby. I weighed almost 170 pounds and I am only 5'3. Now I am around 135-140 pounds and my skin feels saggy. It really sucks. I don't exercise at all right now, but I would really like to have a nicer body by May.
