Occasionally I have experienced chest pains that felt like a squeezing on my heart, but they were brief and not accompanied by anything else. However, yesterday I started having chest pains again and they just came and went all day. I also was having some difficulty taking breaths and would find myself trying to take a deep breath very often. It worsened when I went to lay down last night, so I just sat up all night. Today the symptoms are still bothersome and accompanied by an ache in the center of my chest and upward. I’m female and 20 years old, and my mother’s side has a history of heart related health issues. If anyone could shed some light on what I could do for this, it would be much appreciated. Also, I just went off of my parent’s health insurance… so I would like to avoid needlessly going to the hospital/doctor if at all possible. Thank you in advance! :)

I am a twelve, almost thirteen-year-old girl. Every day, when I come home from being cooped up inside for seven hours each day at school, I watch TV, play video games, or play computer until dinner. I want to get into a more healthy lifestyle, and want some outdoor stuff to do that doesn't take much muscle or time. What is a good way to get better muscle in arms and legs? I am thinking of running, biking, and/or jumping rope. Are any of these good?

This is a real long shot I know, but getting desperate.
For the last few years I have been unwell to a degree, starting relatively mildly with a bit of a achy side, had blood taken & my ALT enzymes were high, but nothing else was found despite visiting a liver specialist & having scans. More recently I have been generally unwell, lots of flu like symptoms, stiff achy joints, sore stiff neck, waking in the night sweating heavily.
Had my worst ever night last night, awake all night, sweating, headachy, even had palpatations. Have had lots of blood taken, been screened for some immune disorders after a very nasty anaphylactic shock a few months back but all they find is low red cell count (sometimes)
Occured to me that 12 years back I had a couple of lost days while in the Gambia, put it down to a reaction to the malaria drugs but clutching at straws here, could this be a malaria of some kind knocking my immune system & making me feel so ill, so long after possible infection?

in my limeted medical understanding most ingested food stuffs that manifest in allergic reactions appear in wheels on the skin, I have a colleague who broke out in numerous tiny pinhead blisters which stated over her wrists and progressing onto both her front and rear torso, if this indeed the tomato reaction what are the substances in tomato that do this. I also have had tomatoes eleminated from my diet in effort to maintain Aand B headache syndrome.

is it true that if youve never had sex than it will hurt the first time you wear one? Thats what ive heard but it would be so much easier and better for me to wear a tampon.

My 'first time' went really bad today. We're both virgins and ready to do this. Foreplay went really great, I put the condom on. Then I wasn't sure where exactly to 'put it', but after some trying we both worked out which place to put it in. However, it only went in about a 1/4 of the way and then kind of hit a barrier. Is this normal? Do I have the right 'hole'? And how can I make it better in future?

Further to my previous question,"do you think the care in hospitals is good"? thanks for all your info, i realise there are good and bad and good and bad nurses too. although nurse training nowadays is based on academic ability and not patient care or bedside manner.from doc's to cleaners all are scared of being sued.my daughter stay in hosp was an example of poor care and it was reported. i have another family member who has had surgery recently at same hosp and they tore his kidney necessitating prolonged recovery for a self employed person. action is being taken against the surgeon so i cannot divulge too much.action was again taken against nurses too and was adequatly covered up internally, same ward, same hosp as my daughters experience.they all protect each other god help those who cannot stand for themselves, pallitive care is very good i admit.but thats what they work towards by poor care in other dept's, they create their own problems.i am thoroughly disgusted with the present
