Health - 21 April 2007

I've been taking Lisinopril 10mg for about 15 months. My blood pressure is generally in the 116/73 range with a pulse of 56? My pulse rate everytime I test is or has never been more than 61. I'm concerned about this as I am a smoker and to my knowledge smoking will increase heart rate. So if I were to quit.........? My doctor doesn't seem to be concerned, just looking for a 2nd opinion or input from someone who is qualified and not every wanna be doctor telling me that smoking is bad and will kill me.

Basically, in a professional opinon could my dosage be to high? I take 1 pill per day at about the same time everyday.

When I am at work and I have been moving around for a while I start to have trouble pronouncing words clearly. This is becoming a problem as I work in an environment where you must be social. What could be causing this and what is a solution.

I am a 38 year old white female.For more than a week I have had this headache. I go to sleep with it and I wake up with it. When I wake up its very mild but increases in pain rapidly. I am very tired no matter how much sleep I get. I wake up at night to use the bathroom. I drink a lot of water. I am living in a different country that doesnt speak my language so going to the doctor is difficult. I am a migrane sufferer but this is NOT a migrane. I need this to go away. I have many many things to do but I just dont feel up to it feeling like this.

I know angina is caused by a lack of oxygen getting to the heart muscle. what i want to know is how it can be the coronary artery causing this given that i have always learnt that arteries carry blood away from the heart so this should mean that the coronary artery should carry the de-oygenated blood used by the heart muscle to the lungs to be oxygentated then shouldn't the oxygentaed blood be broughht back to a the heart muscle by the coronary vein? (p.s i know how blood circulates through the heart via lungs then to body...i am asking specifically about cornanary circulation that supplies blood to the heart muscle)

Don't sweat much and swell even after showering! I use body wash and antibacterial soap. I also have a gerat antipersperant/deodorant


I've been recommended these products (and if you have more suggestions please give them):
magnesium
zinc
acidophilus
chlorophyll


Here are my questions:
Do those products work?
Is chlorophyll the same as vitamin K?
I couldn't find chlorophyll or V. K. at Rite-Aid, so where can I buy it?
Can I overdose? How much should I take?
Any more info. I should know what taking those products?

THANKS! If I stop smelling I can actually start making the most of my life. you guys are lifesavers!

I was shot in an attempted robbery while I was working,bullet went in m chest broke some ribs collapsed my lungs,and shattered and fragments went through my stomach and intestines majority or bullet that was left came out my back about an inch from my spineI also lost 3 1/2 pints of blood .I have permanent nerve damage and suffer from chronic pain sometimes can be very severe and keeps me from working.On occasion I get relief when a docotor wants to help with the pain but not real keen on this because I have been suffering for about 10 years now.over the last 6 months or longer is getting to where it is unbareable. I just want to know what other opions I have because being on pain medicine all the time is not an option because either one or two things occur getting addicted to them or they simply stop working for a person or have to change to different kind all the time.So what can I do,my Doctor recently just suggested more physical therapy which I have not had since this firstoccured

I need to get back onto a diet (know what I need to do already) - have been on them before and done really well but I can never stick to them. Go back onto "normal" eating or eating badly (especially when I feel down in the dumps).

At the moment, I can't get into the right head frame to do so but really need to now. Does anyone have any tried and tested ways of getting the motivation to diet and to stick to it? Thanks, Snowflake

For the past few days I have noticed four sore areas on my hand and foot. Although I can not see a bruise when I push on the areas they are sore. One is on the palm of my hand, the other two are located on different fingers on the palm side. One is located towards the top of the finger while the other is located at the base of the finger. The last spot is on the ball of my foot. Again, these are just tender spots which feel like bruises although they do not have any appearance associated with them. Although I frequently lift weights I do not have these sore areas on my other hand or other foot. Let me know if you have any suggestions as to what it might be. Thanks

Ever since I can remember I have hated milk. I don't like chocolate, ice cream, puddings or yogurts. I do like cheese but don't often eat a lot of cheese. I know that most give me a mild stomach ache but I'm wondering if subconsiously I avoid them because I know they give me stomach aches. Would you think the stomach ache would indicate I'm lactose intolerant.
Also my baby when she drinks formula it seems to make her upset I try and breast feed her when I can but she may have a bottle once a day, could she be lactose intolerant

I've been working out for the longest now, I've noticed that I was losing inches and the water weight is gone. I've lost some of the solid fat, but now my body's wanting to hold onto the fat. I do a lot of cardio everyday, and I stay hydrated, I build muscle during strength training. My body is holding onto the remainder of the 20 pounds that I'm trying to lose. That remainder doesn't want to seem to come off for nothing. What is some advice to get this remainder off so I can feel 20 pounds lighter, this is getting frustrating!
