When i run a little bit not even 15 minutes passes by and my chest starts to hurt really bad. i remember by pysical education teacher tell me ( cuz it use to happen to me in high school also) that i had lungs of a smoker.. but i've never ever smoked one cigarette in my life, i've never even touched one!! so i know it cant be that! do you think that i just have to get more active and get my body use to running and exercising for that matter. What should i do ??

Hello, I have been doing pushup for some time now. But ever since I have reached 100 push ups, it stops becoming sore for some reason. I don't think my body is adapt to it, because even though I do 100 push ups everyday, I feel 'pain' from 60 push ups on, just as before, In fact, these past few weeks have shown no improvements; I never get sore and I always get hurt from 60 push ups on. Why is that? If my body is not adapted, then why won't the muscle be sore the day after?
THANK YOU!

The doctor prescribed valtrex taken three times a day for 10 days. Symptoms of a cold sore on the lip but never a blister or sore. Itching, burning, tingling and crawling feel around mouth. Medicine was not taken but symptoms gone on lip. A day later nose started itching around it and on it. If prescribtion is picked up and taken will it stop the symptoms and next time it show up will it come on stronger than before. Is cold sores only contagious when there is a sore? Concerned about washing face and body with wash cloth can it spread in that manner?

So my lovely wife went in for a regular pap and physical. A couple months later, without having received any report of the results, I get an invoive from the lab (LabCorp) that did the work for about $300.

I call up my insurance company (Aetna) and they say it's a newer more expensive pap test, that they don't cover and they're not sure why they would have ordered it.

I call up LabCorp and they say pretty much the same thing.

When I talk to the doctor, she says that it's my responsibility to know what my insurance covers and what it doesn't. But I thought it was reasonable to assume that the doc would run a regular pap and it would be covered.

SOooo, now I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. I don't want to pay $300 for what should have been a normal routine exam. Shouldn't the doctor have informed my wife and I that this would be a more expensive/thorought/whatever test and might not be covered?

It's stuff like this that make people afraid to go to the doctor...*sigh*

In 4-5 months I want to be 125-130lbs.
I know it's hard.
The easiest way for me is to count calories.
So how many should I eat?

&&& since I overate so much today, should I skip a day of eating tomarrow or some meals tomarrow or start the calorie plan right away?

I have been taking effexor for a year without any serious problems, but now I've decided to switch to Cymbalta because effexor doesn't stay in the body long enough. I know every medication has its horror stories, and I was just wondering... do they cause PERMANENT damage or just temporary?

I dont drink soda or eat any foods with trans fats. I dont eat anything with High fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils. I also don't do too much dairy, I'm a lactose! I eat minimal meat and and I usually have a daily food regimine like this:

Breakfast- Organic Frosted Mini wheats with soymilk
Lunch- Chocolate soymilk, those trixits or whatever they are called (crackers with whole weat), Lunchmeat sandwitch
Snack- Carrots, or a banana, or apples, or sweet peppers, or tomatoes, or a combo.
Dinner- Corn or a quesadilla or spinach. One of those.
And occasionally I will have an Odwalla bar for dessert.
I also drink 6 water bottles throughout the day.
After school I do Windsor Pilates and I have volleyball on fridays and mondays :)

I have Uber flabby thighs and my upper body is in awesome shape! Is it because pilates is a core workout? Should I add dance dance revolution to the mix as cardio? (I have school comitments and that is all I would have time and space for!)
