My great grandma who has had several heart problems and low blood pressure has been having trouble lately. WE found out she has a block in her heart. Her husband had the same thing and had a pacemaker put in and the doctor told us if we did not bring him to the hospital, he would have died. There is NO way my grandma can make it through surgery she is just too weak. Her blood pressure is as low as my grandpa's was when they said he would have died. Is there any other options for my grandma or is she going to die? She is 89 years old.

I'm taking Zyrtec and Patanol and they really don't cover my allergies that well, and I won't be in one place long enough in the next 5 years to have allergy shots. I saw Sabadil which is a homeopathic allergy medicine made by the makers of Oscillococcinum (Boiron) and I was wondering if it was an effective and safe supplement to what I'm already taking.

Here are the ingredients:
Allium cepa 5C HPUS - Relieves runny nose associated with allergies
Ambrosia artemisiaefolia 5C HPUS - Relieves spasmodic cough associated with hay fever
Histaminum hydrochloricum 9C HPUS - Relieves symptoms of allergic conditions
Euphrasia officinalis 5C HPUS - Relieves burning, irritated eyes
Sabadilla 5C HPUS - Relieves sneezing associated with allergies
Solidago virgaurea 5C HPUS - Relieves abundant nasal discharge

This has been an ongoing problem for 2-3 years. My stomach almost always hurts and I always look like I am really pregnant-super bloated. It sucks. Sometimes I will be in severe pain, sometimes just a little; sometimes it hurts before I eat, sometimes after; evey once in awhile there is no pain, but still major bloating. No matter what I eat & drink or don't eat & drink-nothing helps. I have been to a million doctors & had even more tests done & no one can tell me what's wrong. They say it's stress-no; IBS-no, acid reflux-no. I do not have any food allergies or ulcers, etc. I have searched tons of health websites, etc-nothing. I'm tired of looking pregnant, epecially when I had a flat stomach & tired of being in pain 24/7. I have taken so many pills and none worked.

I'm 15, and only 4"11. Will I grow any taller? Any way to become taller without the silly shoes, and height increasing scams? Anything that works?

My mom is 5, and my dad is 5'6. But most of my other relatives are around 5'3 and higher.

And any estimate on how many inches I'm still going to gain?

And if it helps, I'm filipino.

trying to stengthen my rotator cuffs so i dont injure them again. I cannot go to a physical therapist so please dont tell me that!

What are some good exercises to do to strengthen all four components of the rotator cuff? I had an injury and it is healed, but i need to strengthen them so i can continue with my training for hockey. I am an experienced weight lifter, but i never really focused on my rotator cuffs, any advice would be appreciated!

Please do not tell me to go to a doc or get physical therapy, i do not have insurance that covers such things!

So, ever since I gave up masturbation for lent, I've been having nightmares and frequent restless nights. I wake up three or four times at night, and find it hard to fall asleep again. I'm trying to see how long I can hold out, but I'm not sure if they are correlated. Anyone else experience the same things?

I went to the dentist 2 wks ago who noticed my teeth were a bit see-through which means enamel erosion. He told me to cut out acidic foods and fruit and use an electric toothbrush which I did but suddenly my teeth look even more see-through and now I'm really worried! Is going electric making it worse? Please help; any advice or info welcome - thanks!

I never do self-exams like I'm supposed to, but yesterday I was "adjusting" and noticed a lump on my right breast. It's deep in the tissue below my areola(mine are rather large and take up most of the front of my breasts) about 2 inches below the surface. It's very firm and about the size of a frozen pea or a pencil eraser, maybe slightly larger. It's difficult to move it to the surface because it is so deep in my breast tissue, and seems to be attached by tissue no thicker than a piece of string. I have naturally full, though lumpy breasts but it's nothing like the tissue anywhere else on that breast or in the same area on the other one. I also let my fiance feel it to make sure I wasn't imagining anything and he noted the same. I have a history of breast cancer in my family on both sides, but it's 2-3 generations back. My mom and my dad have had several benign cysts on their breasts. Should I see a doctor right away or wait a month or two and see if it's still there? I'm only 22.
