Health - 11 February 2007

ok....this has been happening as long as I can remember
sometimes when I'm sleeping and just happen to wake up in the middle of the night (around 4:00 this time) and begin to fall asleep again....i get this really scary mind thing that is like a very short nightmare....I usually see black, but sometimes it's like a very dim Egiptian sun (best way I can describe it) my heart rate also goes through the roof-well over 100-in a half second. I can't control the dream, but I can wake up from it--never let it go on b/c of the hear thing and that it's seriously scary
it happens VERY rarely, like 1-4 times in an entire year. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all
oh, and I'm not in any sort of drug/medication or smoke....nothing age is 18.....but what the heck is this?????

I don't usually get dizzy in the car, but today I felt like I was going to throw up..

It was kind of hot, I was wearing too much, and I already had a mild headache (from oversleeping).. I have experienced dizziness before, but that was due to my low blood pressure, it would usually happen when, and if, I haven’t eaten in a while, but this time I had eaten breakfast! So I’m not sure what the exact cause was..

I know the dizziness was circumstantial (at least I think so), but is there anything I can do to avoid it?

I see all these different products, tylenol tension headaches, excedrin migraine , arthrites etc...but then when I look at the ingredients, they're all the same as regular tylenol: acetominaphem. How can they claim it's specific for migraines? Is this just a marketing scheme or am I overlooking something?

i have rashes on my left arm, a bruise-like blotch on my upper arm (near my armpit), and blotches of little pink rashes-like spots on my inner thighs and both my upper arms. I never had anal sex before... only orals. I don't think I've ever let guys ejaculated in my mouth... are these symptoms of HIV infection?

I heard somewhere that if a splinter enters your blood stream then it can lead to your heart and you can die. Is this true?

My knees, my hips, my ankles and my lower back hurt worse and worse. Then one day about a week ago my hamstring went out. I couldn't run another mile. As a result I switched to the stationary bike. I'm now riding 22 miles every morning which takes approximately 62 minutes. Is this going to sufficiently replace my run? Of course, I take a multi vitamin and supplements daily and I lift weights every other day and since I'm not currently running, I also restricted my diet quite a bit. Like I asked before, considering all of this and that I was only running to stay fit and not compete, will this suffice?

I spent 3 years getting rid of any signs of acne on my face, but recently I have been having breakouts all over my back and legs. I use "body clear" by neitrogena, but it simply removes the bumbs and leaves the redness. What should I try?

I started my periods about a year ago, and recently I haven't been having them. Is it normal to go 3-4 months with no signs of a period whatsoever? Is it just because I'm young? answers much appreciated.

Following a night out with friends and having too much to drink (self-imposed), two hours after returning home, I passed-out. Eyes open, staring into space for two minutes in a state of paralysis. I was turned onto my side. I suddenly had violent multiple vomitings of black liquid and strangely, onion slices (not eaten any for 36 hours previously). I vomited three times before coming round and once after. I felt no pain and was instantly lucid after the episode. This had never happened before and I am usually incredibly healthy and lead an extremely active life with a good balanced diet.
I have read about 'Coffee Grounds' and they fit part of the description.
