So, I recently started (about two weeks ago) eating less portions, more often (6 small meals of veggies and fruit, some grain) to get healthy/ lose weight. Also started drinking a gallon of water a day. Began to lose about a pound a day (or so) last few days, I have maintained or gained weight, all the water seems to be staying in me and I am bloated.

The answers say to drink more water, but I am already drinking so much- what do I do to get my body on track and lose this water I seem to be retaining?

i'm in my mid teens and was diagnosed with a sinus infection last month, although i have been sick since january. i have been having trouble breathing since i got sick and the doctor ordered a pulmonary test, which showed that my airway was inflamed. he prescribed an inhaler to use once in the morning and once at night (its not a fast acting inhaler thing for attacks) and have been using it for almost a month now. my trouble breathing has been occurring less frequently but today they have been the worst. ever since i woke up, i have already had 2 attacks (not sure if theyre really attacks, just guessing) my symptoms are: trouble breathing, shallow and rapid breathing, weakness and lightheadedness, tightness in my chest, sometimes i feel tightness in my neck. it triggers/get worse when i spray perfume or put effort into something, such as walking around school or going up and down stairs. do you think i'm beginning to develop asthma?

I've noticed several 'answers' which are downright scary. I hope nobody actually takes medical advice given to them in a forum. It seems some people will even resort to answering health related questions just to boost their points. 'I get it all the time' does not mean that they can diagnose someones problem and provide treatment advice. Go and see a health professional in person for a proper examination!! Arghhh!! Do you not agree?!

I went to a psychiatrist to help me with a mild anxiety problem. I have to give a presentation in front of a hundred people and I am a bit nervous about it.

My psychiatrist put me on:

Olanzapine
Clozapine
Effexor
Wellbutrin
Zyprexa
Rispiridone
Paxil
Zoloft
Valiuum
Trazadone
Serzone
Lithium

He told me that these medications would help my anxiety.

I feel sick all the time. My limbs twitch and I throw up every morning.

Why do I feel sick?

Should I take more medications??

It supresses appetite and is a stimulant. Surely they'd be up and about burning off calories and wouldn't feel so hungry.
