Health - 10 September 2007

Since March I have suffered with bad headaches/ migraines and am currently under a neurologist, they have tried me on many types of tablets from blood pressure to pain killers and anti inflammatory type medication, so far nothing has worked. I can have then for days at a time, they keep me awake at night and make me slow and I lack concentration alot too. So much so I lost my job due to making errors and am now off sick. Any help or ideas on an altternative therapy would be good?

Is it true that if a man hasn't ejaculated for a few days, and then has sex he will come quicker. Sometimes my partner comes really quickly and he says it's because we haven't done it for a few days. Does this happen to all men

My mom has essential high blood pressure sometimes reaching over the 200/160 mark. As her blood pressure has been high for a while she has an enlarged right ventricle which will and is leading to CHF. Her breathing is already heavy. Her doctor has given her Betaloc, Plendil, Inhibace, Dosan, Cartia a blood thinner, Lipex for high cholesterol and Quinine for night cramps. She's in her early 70's and she complains of head aches, extreme fatigue and loss of energy. She has increasing dark circles around her eyes as if she hasn't slept in months with shortness of breath like she's gasping for air. I would like her to try natural remedies because these synthetic drugs don't appear to be doing much for her overall health. Can anyone advise some really good and effective natural remedies to treat both high blood pressure and CHF? I know Celery is good for lowering blood pressure.

I am 175 cm, and abotu 56kg. So i am very slim. Though I also eat whatever I want (not go nuts but I often eat junk food along with my healthy stuff)
I really can eat what I want. and not afraid to put on a few kilos. But Ive just noticed Im getting the starting sligh ripples of celulite on my legs. Im not afraid of putting on wieght but would prefer not the celulite!!
So my question is, since I dont need to lose weight, what can I do to stop it in its tracks. is it to do with my fat intake? or my lack of exercise (i dont exercise at all) and because i dont have enough muscle??/

Thanks

How much less would you say that doxycycline lessen the effects of the birth control pill? I'm looking for a percentage if anyone knows?

Oh, dont worry, I use 2 forms of birth control.

Ok, so I give blood every four months (everyone who can do it should, I reckon), and I'm not particularly squeamish. But when they take the needle out, I go so pale, and I nearly black out everytime. I'm a normal weight, I don't watch them take the needle out or anything like that, I eat healthily and I always drink plenty of water before I give blood. Does anyone have any idea why this keeps happening, or does it just happen to everyone?

Hi everyone,

I have recently been thinking about going on the pill, as me and my bf have been together 6 years and would like to try something new other than condoms. I have an appointment with the nurse on Thursday but my main worry is that by using the pill I will gain weight. I have a few extra unwanted pounds at the moment but have managed to shed a few pounds by healthy eating and going down the gym 3 to 4 times a week but I’m worried that the pill will put all the weight back on and more? I can’t handle being any bigger and I am prone to putting on weight easily but I understand that there are also a lot of advantages to taking the pill. If anyone could give me some sensible advice it would be much appreciated.

I'm 23 by the way. Thanks!

I have just been told I have an underactive thyroid, according to my Dr my brain is making my body produce too much thyroid stimulating hormone to combat this. Why is my brain/body doing this? What symptoms can i expect from this condition, I feel tired occasionally, both physically and mentally. I sometimes feel mentally confused and get pressure in my head. Is this a symptom? I have heard that tingling/numbness in the hands/face can also be a symptom of this condition, is this the case? Any of your experiences would be welcomed, to give me an insight into thsi condition and how best to manage it.

Thanx :)

I'm currently taking 25mg of metoprolol, and my doctor put me on benicar. I'm suppose to wean off the metoprolol while starting the benicar. they are both for high blood pressure.

I havent been feeling well, lately, just a few problems...... I get very sharp pains through my chest, sometimes they throw me to the ground, and I am not sure what makes them happen as they occur under different circumstances. I have been feeling consistently tired, and even though I get a lot of sleep, I still feel the same. I also tend to feel quite dizzy at times (no, Im not blonde :P). Sometimes I have to grab onto something to keep myself up. Is there anything serious going on here, or is it a lack of some protein or something? Thanks, for any help!!! :)

I have IBS and am still trying to work out what i can and cant eat.

The fact that it's fibre sounds like it could help but do you think it will make my stomach bad at the same time. I get horrible cramps when I eat certain things and am terrified to try some things again because it hurts sooo much!

I have been to my doctors and am due to go again when i can get and appointment (they really are useless!) and they have only given me Fybogel for now which doesnt help so I want to try to increase my dietary fibre more to reduce the bloating I get and the uncomfortable feeling when i eat.

Do you think this is a good idea?

Also milk can affect my stomach but it's mainly full fat and semi-skimmed so I'm going to drink skimmed milk so it should be fine.
