What happens with your eyes when you get a headache?

I am almost 17 years old, and an occasional smoker. On average, I smoke about 1-2 cigarettes a day. Recently, I've had strange pains in my chest area, especially when I smoke. It is like a stinging sensation, and also a slight ache towards the left and right of my chest. My breathing is fine (mostly), but I do feel slightly out of breath. The pain does not get worse when I take a breath. I am not sure if this is a cold, pleurisy, pneumonia, or lung cancer and I'm not sure if I should call my doctor or wait a while. Thanks.

You know they say the best way to keep your metabolism high and burning throughout the day and therefore losing weight most effectively? I dont doubt any of that. What I do want to know is if i have a can of Diet Coke as one of my small meals/snack like between breakfast and lunch, will that have the same effect as if I ate say-a baked potato or an apple or cheese and crackers or whatever it may be?

I don't get very much sleep (about 6-7 hrs avg.) and I am pretty stressed out. Obviously improving these two things will help with the circles, but getting more sleep is not really an option, nor is reducing my stress level, so please don't waste my time with responses which instruct me to do so.

Is there anything I can use, short of makeup (I'm a 16 year old guy), which will help the circles?

I have tried cucumbers and using gelatin under my eyes...both of which did not give visible results.

Thank you for your educated responses. Please only provide methods which you have had success with

Jan I had a very light period early in the month (lasted about four days). Two weeks later had I had a heavy period that lasted a week. I figured the second one was my "real" period, and started testing with my fertility monitor day 10. I didnt actually ovulate until day 28 (which was after that second onset of bleeding). Either way Im confused...Its like day 36...still no new period. I am normally have between a 29-31 day cycle.WOW anyway Ive had 2 paps in last year, all of which were normal, and hate to get a third. Wondering if anyone had gone through this? Thanks

I don't get it when my boyfriend and I are in the sex act it is alright. However, i've never had an orgasm not to mention i'm sometimes not even wet. Only when i'm on my own I can have an orgasm, I just wish I would enjoy sex and actually have a climax. Is this going to happen forever?

ive heard mixed answers. friends have told me that it is free if you provide them with your social security number so the govt will pay for it. i also hear that it isnt too expensive. can you tell me what payments youve had to make for any of this? are the tests & pap smears free? what about for HIV? thanks!

My wife and I have been doing Atkins for a little over a month, and to be honest, we are bored. We're tired of not being able to have ANY kind of bread, and constantly worrying about one or two extra carbs.

We've looked at the South Beach diet, and just like Atkins it is a carb-restrictive diet. There are a few differences, and that is where we are we are curious about switching.

Would switching from Atkins to South Beach all at once make us gain weight while we waited for the effects of South Beach to kick in?

If you have never been on either diet, or you aren't educated about low-card dieting, please don't criticize our diet choices. All we want to know if if SWITCHING from Atkins to South Beach is safe and isn't going to make us gain all our weight back.

Also, if anyone here has experience doing South Beach, we'd love to hear about your results! (Especially if you have done Atkins as well!)

She is 3 years old, so this is of course a primary tooth (the left upper front tooth). She fell and hit her tooth on the wood floor. It bled a very little bit at the gum line, and she was comforted by holding an ice pack to her mouth. She cried for quite some time afterward, and needed ibuprofen the next morning for pain. I really haven't thought about it since, but just tonight I noticed when she laughed that it's a little bluish-gray. I guess I should get her to a dentist...???

At an expo, there was a chiropractor (I've never been to one) who scanned people's upper neck with a device that measured heat I think. They showed a picture on the computer of the areas that have anomalies. Does anyone know what type of machine this may be?

I know that more and more people are turning towards alternative treatments, in hope that they won't be perscribed 100 different kinds of pills for a cough (exaggeration, of course). But are holistic treatments still frowned upon in many places in the U.S? What are most people's views on holistic treatments?
Any websites where I can find out more about it?
