Ok, I was dx ADD, and was put on Concerta, he said that if I didn't like this med we could try Adderall. Well, I don't care for the Concerta. It has a couple of side effects that I don't care for. When I see the doc tomorrow, what should I tell him?? Because I think that Adderall would work better for me. What do you think?

Why do I get red bumps on myself when I am cold? Example, if my hand is cold, and I start to scratch it, bumps will start to appear but later then disappears. How do I stop this?

Next week I have to have a Thyroid Scan because my blood test showed that the numbers were somewhat high. I have t take nuclear medicine in a pill form and take some x-rays/pictures of the Thyroid.
My question of course is how is having radioactive material in your system safe when you arn't really allowed to be near radio active stuff?

I couldn't think, I couldn't focus, i could kinda control surface thoughts, and I forced myself to get up and take a Nyquil, about 15 minutes later, i felt fine, and went to sleep. Is this a normal cold/flu symptom? Is something wrong with me?

I've tried almost every sleeping pill out there (with the exception of Lunestra, which I intend to try soon) - 150 mg of benadryl won't do me any good, and ambien just made me hallucinate. I've been to a doctor for it, but it's not getting any better. It takes me upwards of 3 hours to fall asleep a night, and I can't stay asleep all night, unless I'm really exhausted. It's getting to be a huge problem. What else can I try?

We use mouth wash products available in the market. These products claim to protect you from bad breath, Gangarine and protect your tooth from decay. Is the prolonged use harmful ? How much is too much.

Hi, i've started to have these wierd super fast heart rythms since age 12. when they happen, my head goes really dizzy like im about to faint, feels like theres a lot of pressure on my chest and feel a loss of air. Atrial fibrillation. i've went to the cardioologists and everything they checked my heart in everyway they said it's a completely healthy heart they don't know why these strange fast heart rythms occur but they say its Atrial fibrillation.
I'm not taking meds for it, because it's not very seriouse for now it happends basicly once every 4 -5 months. but now that i'm in high school and this heart rythm happened at school not to long ago while doing gym really freaked me out because it was like infront of everyone and they ddidnt know what was going on with me. but it went away after.
I didn't pay much attention to this Atrial fibrillation before but now i worry and stress about it so much!! like i dont want it to happen again. should i get like a counseler to talk stuff thru

Most of the information nowadays are not going in paper anymore. Most of it already put in our computer for easy reference and processing. I have choose to use PC instead of using paper and pen. But I am facing a problem when I use PC. I feel very tired when I face PC for a long period. In my daily life, I face PC from early in the morning until midnight. This is not physical tired but it is mentally tired. Tired until can not think, remember and recall properly.

When I face the monitor screen, my eye won't be tired but my brain is exhausted. It affect my learning process and speed. I feel that I can not effectively think, remember and recall. But I have to work with the PC all the time. PC make my life more easily.

Do you have any suggestion, solution and method to solve the problem I mention above?

How to use PC effectively without make my brain feel very tired?

There are several red rashes on my body. I don't have an allegy problem. I see a doctor about it and he examined me and told me that it was STD. I was not told what exactly the disease is and there was no blood test. I guess it might be syphilis. But there isn't any red marks on my palms or base of my foot. The red marks are mainly on my body and near my private area. I had sex with a guy in December but he doesn't had any signs of the disease. I slept with my ex-boyfriend for 3 years before this guy. How do I know whether Iam cured or not even if the marks have disappear?

I have high blood pressure and am currently taking 20mg of Lisinopril and 100 mg of Toprol XL. My doctor told me I need to lose weight, and I keep seeing commercials for Hydrocicut on TV.

1. Does it really work?

2. Is it safe for someone on high blood pressure medication?

Please, no lectures about diet and exercise.

I'm desperate!! Please help.
I have a case study due for school. What is the medical dx?

Patient: 42y/o, SOB, underweight, high WBC & BUN & PB. Anxious, in & ex wheeze, weak, dry cough. Dyspnic, tachycardia & pnea, temp 102.2. Cool & clammy. Hyptoactive bowel.

Here's my thinking:
Pneumonia - no because cough is usually productive and not wheezing like in case study.

TB - maybe, but usually crackles and chest pain, but not in study.

PE- tachypenia, dyspnea & anxiety fit, but what are breath sounds with PE? Why a fever if PE?

COPD - cough is usually productive. Why would pt have fever & high WBC?

Asthma - fits best with the presentation, but wheeze is more common on expiration. More important, why does the pt have the fever, high WBC & high BUN?

Bronchitis has a productive cough.

BUN can be kidney, sepsis, excess protein consumption, starvation, dehydration, or cardiac failure.
Pt is very thin. Can BUN be due to starvation & starvation due to dyspnea? But why fever
