Health - 6 January 2007

A couple of days ago, a really good friend of mine woke up and he was coughing up b l o o d. If it helps, he doesn't drink, smoke, or do . His parents took his to the hospitial and they couldn't find anything wrong with him, there was no b l o o d in his lungs or anything. They said that if it happens again then he should come back. This left me REALLY worried. What could be wrong with him? Is there nothing wrong at all, should I even be worried. My mom said that maybe he had broncitus or something, but he hasn't been sick or hoarse or anything. What do yall think could be wrong with him. I mean I find it a little fishy that a perfectly normal, healthy, teenage boy just start coughing up b l o o d out of the blue. Yall, please be respectful and no jokes just to get two points, this is my friend and I really care about him.

My Doc has prescribed two different sleep medications for me to try. One does not work at all and I want to take the other now. I have given the first one 3 hours to work and nothing but I dont want to mix the two if it isn't safe.

Sometimes i can feel my heart beating faster than usual, or feeling irregular. This usally happens at night or in the late evening. I cant go to sleep as i can feel my heart through my chest beating irregular, and to be honest its very frightening at times.

I have already had one echo scan in the past 2 years, on the NHS, and when the results came back everything was fine. (The NHS were very vague about the results). But i was told that my heart was faster than compared to others.

I am only 21 years of age and female and i dont smoke-neither have i ever been a smoker so this isnt a factor. But i am worried as there has been a history of heart attacks in my family and strokes throughout the generations and ive lost alot of people very close to me due to this. :(

My symptoms are; irregular heartbeat, slight pain/numbness in my top left hand side of my chest (the pain/numbness occurs only sometimes) and feeling dizzy.

Please could someone give me some advice?Thankyou! Helen x

a guy told me something that i did with him recently. But the thing is, i have no recollection of the incident, i wasnt intoxicated, and i no i wasnt drugged. it makes no sense why, if it happened, i dont remember it. do you think i could have involuntarily blocked it from my memory?

Does this condition have any effect on the mucles surrounding it-
arm,hand and elbow. What are the symptoms if there is an infection?
This has been caused by a blood draw at the elbow for a routine blood check up 4 weeks ago.Still have pain which increases when the hand is exerted. Has burning sensation sometimes and muscle tenderness on the outerside of the arm and slight swelling/stiffeness on the innerside of the forearm and the elbow
Been to 2 pcp's said it will go away and been to a vascular surgeon who didn't say any different and never checked what the symptoms were and did not give me any satisfactory answers which I expected from an expert!). Hence with no answers I am troubled more than ever. This situation is interfering with my daily activities and with people around me.
Please give me serious advice to help with my concerns with your experiences or checking with your doctor friends.
This would mean a lot to me and I will have peace of mind.
Thanks for your time

I heard on a talk radio station the other night.( I don't do it all the time) But I heard on there that a family had thier incapacitated daughter given an injection(s) to stunt her growth. Reason being was ...because the parents didn't want their daughter to grow so large that in thier oncoming elderliness that they would not be able to pick her up anymore and show her that close physical bond.
She has some affliction that has her physically and mentally all that of a 3 month old baby. And that is all she will ever be.
She is 9 yrs. old at this time.
I also heard that they had her breasts removed but the nipples intact and that her reproduction parts were also taken out.
Now...I heard this on 2 different stations on 2 different nights.
Did I really hear correctly? Somebody tell me please....
It's driving me nuts...

I also want to incorperate fruits, and not a continual diet until then, just until I lost the flab. I have a very small frame, so the amount of fat I have on me now just looks odd. I'm a size 3 and I want to get back into my size 1 jeans.
