Why is it that I forget peoples names easily?

I have a very difficult, foreign name, but people eventually learn it. I feel like a retard because I can not remember a simple American name like Mike. What the? I even forget the name of my close friends sometimes. How can I remember peoples names easily? I'm in my teens. Can it be that i let other things distract me at that moment? I should wear my glasses.

It's very embarrassing because I have to ask a million times for a name like Joe. What's up with my head?

It happens to me all the time. I should wear glasses. I'm sure the world and my friends have changed these past few years, lol

I am taking prerequisits for the nursing (R.N.) program. I just need to know if you felt or know someone who was really nurvous. I know they will teach us everything. I am just nervous about if I can remember everything when the tests come and be able to perform medical observations and my job to patients. I am really excited but a bit nervous.

I keep getting this weird feeling in the back of my head. Sometimes when I'm walking around I feel dizzy. I constantly grab my neck and massage it thinking it may be stiff. Sometimes I think my brain is swelling. Like maybe a tumor. I have no insurance so I can't get it checked out unless its major. Any suggestions?

I have hypoglocemia and have a really bad sugar drop two or three times a week, depending on how stressed I am. People around me that have diabetes are always saying to me "at least you are not diabetic". Well, I have never had diabetes and I DO have respect for those that do. What they do not understand is that having hypoglocemia is NO picnic. Mine gets so bad sometimes its all I can do to find my glucose without thinking I am getting ready to drop into a coma any second. It also gives me no warning most of the time. And by the time I DO get my levels back up it has wore me out as bad as if I had ran a marathon. I get really emotional afterward, ie..crying and irritated. I pretty much have a glucose monitor within reach 24/7. Anyway, what my question is, Does anyone else have this problem? I hate feeling so helpless.

Is it a problem simply due to the fact I am contempating it might be?

guess I would say I am somewhat of a "binge drinker." I drink only about twice a week (on the weekends) always in the company of friends. Lately it seems like I have been blacking out and losing control too frequently. I feel guilty the next day about all the stupid things I said and did (which I of course do not remember but my friends tell me about) But, when I start dri nking I feel like I am having so much fun I don't want to cut myself off before I am 'wasted'

Is this a normal binge drinkers remorse or signs I need to cut it out or cut it back?

My girlfriend's dad was just diagnosed with hepatitis C, again. Will my girl will get it someday? Will our future child have it? Well, he was a heavy smoker until his late 50s, had a liver cancer and had a transplant almost a year ago. His SGOT is still running on max and thats how he was diagnosed with hep C.

Altho my gf is a healthy girl, who tries to keep heavy lifestyle. she never smokes, etc, im still worried she might gets it. How does one gets Hep C?

Many thanks in advance

I know I shouldn't take medical advice from Yahoo Answers, but I need to know if I should be concerned. Out of nowhere, I noticed it feels like I have a lump in my throat, but I don't feel anything with my hands. But the sensation is there consistently, especially when I turn my head, I can feel whatever it is moving. It's around the center of my throat, and it's toward the upper-middle part. I don't have any other problems, except for burning sensations in my stomach after eating spicy/fatty foods and constipation/diarrhea. Is it cancer? I'm a 17 year old girl, I've never smoked, I don't drink. Help!

2)I saw this guy do this several times: He takes a DB and (what looks like to me) tosses up and down in his hand in a rolling motion. What is this called and what are its target area and benefits?
