My mother had polio as a child and now has many symptoms of PPS. My sister and I are both having some similar symptoms though not as pronounced as Mother's. Does this syndrome affect the offspring of PPS sufferers?

I was just wondering what, if any, remedies there are for curing or calming down palpitations when they arise. I am a 24 year old male who has had anxiety and panic attacks since 2001. Even when at home relaxing my mind is working over time and my heart races and palpitates. I am naturally more aware of my own heartbeat and every beat it makes due to my anxiety and general pre occupation with the way i feel.

If anyone knows, what can be done to limit palpitations and help you relax and concentrate on other things so that you constantly worry and hear every single beat.

Most people don't go through this and i would give anything not to also. It seriously affects my life this anxiety and i am trying to find ways to drastically decrease the impact the symptoms of it has on me.

Thanks for your help in advance guys !

I'm currently scheduled to have a pap smear a few days before I expect my period to start. Is it okay to have a pap smear just before my period starts (it definitely won't have started yet), or should I reschedule my appointment?

So I'm trying to get within a healthy weight range for my height and body but I'm having trouble with the the eating part. I've started walking for 20min.(1 mile)at least 3 times a week. I'm going to try and work in some weight training 2-3 times a week later on. What I'm looking for is a good diet that I can change into a lifestyle way of eating. I hear about all these fad diets like Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers but they don't sound like something I could do for the rest of my life. I don't have a lot of time to fix meals, so I could use some easy meal tips that I could fix ahead of time. I joined sparkpeople but I didn't like the diet plan it had. Thanx!

My goal by this summer is to try and be able to run about 3 miles 3 times a week. I've been training for it at the gym (threadmill since I live in a snowy area). Been doing this for a month now. I started by walking and then increasing my speed and time. So now I am able to run 5miles/hour for 8 minutes and a 2 minute walking interval.
Yesterday I ran 15 minutes straight and could still go..sooo

My problem is for some reason I am able to run a straight mile some days and on some days it kills me to pull the same thing. My legs muscles would start tightning and give me a burning sensation on my shins.

Why is that? Could it be fatigue? My diet? Do you think may be I was more stressed yesterday so I was able to run better to let stress out? Was it the music in my mp3?
