Health - 28 February 2007

I am NOT one to self diagnose so thought i'd take the time to ask a question. The other night (and this has never happened before) i went to bed and i was fine, but while in dream i could hear the sound of wheezing. I woke up in a sudden fright with what felt like no air, and realised the wheezing was me. It was scary but i went back to sleep, only to wake up again with no air 10 minutes later. In the morning i was ok, but a little short of breath. I have MILD asthma, and have only ever had one attack in my life and only require a puffer once a yr maybe at most. It wasn't like asthma however, it wasnt that i couldnt get oxygen, its that i had to MAKE myself breathe, it wasnt happening naturally, like i had to keep taking deep breaths...it was causing me to panic and was very scary. Any ideas? Same experience?

It seems odd to me that someone who is serious depressed and suicidal would post a question on Y!A for advice. I suppose it is possible, but think it is more likely to be someone seeking attention and lots of responses. Especially some of the ones with sensational revelations and circumstances. I'm certainly not saying they all are, but was wondering if how many of them you think are faked by attention getters?

ok. I am a 19 year old 5"2 female who is now about 90-92 pounds. I started college this year (at 112 pounds!) At first I only wanted to lose about 7 pounds, but the weight has just kept coming off. I workout (cardio) 6X a week and do light weights 3X a week (Please don't tell me to workout less, this is how i deal with stress). Lately I counted my calories, and found I am only getting about 1000 a day. I have been trying to eat 1200 a day for the past week, and it has been hard. If I am not hungry it is hard to make myself eat. I would like to maybe gain 5 lbs, but I am scared I will gain a BUNCH more and start unhealthy habits. Right now I don't eat any red meat (I used to be full vegetarian), and no wheat (allergic reaction). I don't know what to do. I want to eat, but im not hungry/scared. what should i eat? how much fat? etc. Please help me!!! I really dont have anyone to turn to.

Okay, when I do sports like soccer or basketball my calf muscles seem to just tense up to an extreme and takes about a minute to get them relaxed again. The muscles just like contract as much as they can and leaves me unable to move my ankle up and down. Sometimes it really hurts when this happens.

It normally happens in basketball when im doing a shot, I bend my knees and then it just happens. Same as in soccer, when im trying to get by a guy and do a fake quickly one way they tense up.

Does anyone know what this is? Is it actually just a muscle spasm?

What exercises would you recommend to get me started. Old injuries to neck and back have progressed to the point where the pain is constant i.e. sleep sitting up and with heat and massage 16-20 hrs per day to maintain functionality. even still, need help sometimes getting up and about. Im gunshy about exercise because one wrong step can aggravate injury even more.

Have always been an athlete, basketball player mainly, a gym rat. But the injuries combined with sitting alot have my midsection spreading and feeling weak. Tried to run / walk on track on sunday and shoot a little hoops. Each step seemed to press the lower back discs together more with pain. Also old knee injury from ball makes running painful. 3 days later i can hardly walk.

I know extra weight is making pain and quality of life worse. About 75 extra pounds now. I need exercise thats low impact, wont hurt back, knee or neck, will strengthen back muscles and really! work on reducing mid-section spread?

How do you tell someone politely (related to you) that they smell? I figure it's best if a relative tells them than someone else or other people knowing it and gossiping about it?

I heard from some people that if you don't eat with in 30 minutes of working out then you won't gain any muscle or become better. In essence, it will be a wasted practice. Is this true?

I measure 39" around my butt area. It doesn't look big at all!! Not flat, it's just that my hips are kind of wide but my butt isn't. I see other women who got the big round butt and I wish mine looked lkie that. Do men prefer round big butts or normal size and kind of wide hips???(I'm 5'5, and the rest of my measurements are bust 37", waist 28", and around mu tummy 35")

I had two of them last summer. I am 29 yrs old and am considerably thin. It was the worst pain I ever felt in my life, and they cam out of no where, one after another!! I had to have 2 surgeries one after another. Now, everyonce in a while, I feel that familiar pain on my side although its not as strong by any means, but it scares me!! Can I get one again so suddenly or is it just mild pain from the surgeries ?? Anyone can relate??
