Health - 23 February 2007

recently joined a new gym where they give you heart rate monitors. I'm 25 and just doing my normal exercise my heart rate gets up to 200. I was told i would die if it went over 195 so i'm puzzled. don't feel any different. should i see a doctor or is this just post christmas unfitness and will get better if I carry on as normal?

Hi.
I'm thinking to get circumsition because I probably have an infection
and the skin on the tip of my penis is too tight. What I want to know
is how long would the recovery last and I read somewhere my penis will be very sensitve and painfull during the recovery. Because I train sports I want to know if the circumsition would be a big pain during the runing(I play Handball but not the version that is known in America but in Europe. Handball here is a very fast, agressive and dynamic sport).

They are very close and spend at least one afternoon a week together. Because she is sick, she hasn't been able to see him. He is constantly asking when she is going to come over and it is tearing me apart. Thanks for any advice.

I am just curious. I have lost 30 lbs so far over the last three months. I averaged a little over 2 lbs each week.
If I reversed and went back to eating fast food all the time to sober up every day from drinking all night and smoking, how long would it take me to gain that thirty pounds back again?
Would it take me three months and would i average a little over 2 lbs gained each week?

Anybody ever tried it or experienced it?

I think that is some irresponsible and retarded advice since starvation mode always starts at about 1200 calories or less

I just recently found out that my best friend has tried to kill himself by slitting his arm, and even more recently, trying to choke himself with a towel in my bathroom. He has also told me that he has been hearing voices that are so loud, that he is afraid his head will explode if he doesn't listen to them. He talks to himself like he is having two conversations, and as such, I am afraid he might have Skitsofrenia.

Is there anything I can do to help him?

I just got my first true period since having my baby yesterday and today it is SO HEAVY that I have to change my pad EVERY HOUR!!!! Should I be worried that it's so heavy????

Lately, I've been stressed out and I've noticed that my right arm jerks and twitches a bit especially when I'm trying to write something down and concentrate on something else at the same time.
It's so weird, and this is the only time it ever happens. It doesn't really bother me, except for being annoying sometimes. I don't have seizures and neither does anyone else in my family. I do have a minor hand tremor that I inherited from my mother.
Is this related to stress or what?

Why is it accepted in society to take perscribed medication for years to be "normal" but if somebody likes to smoke pot daily to help them relax at the end of their work day society frowns on them. A lot of times people are percribed a variety of drugs to be "stable." But god forbid if someone is a pot head.

I went to the dr. on wednesday and I asked him to look into my ears. I had just gotton over a sinus infection and my ears were feeling full. He said the left ear had some fluid in it but it was clear and not an infection. I had just stopped my antibiotics the day before. He didn't really tell me anything to do for it. Yesterday I was getting a bit dizzy but nothing too bad. This afternoon I'm feeling quite dizzy, especially when I lay my head down. My ear still feels full. Could it have turned into an infection or is it just the fluid sloshing around in there?

I am 12 years old. I weigh 134 pounds. I need to lose weight by the end of march. I DONT WANT TO TALK TO MY PARENTS OR DOCTOR! I need something healthy, quick, and effective. I'd really like to lose a few inches off my stomach and thighs, but especially my stomach. I also need to tone my stomach muscles.
