Health - 12 September 2007

I have had several times in the morning when I knew my blood pressure was high - and I need to know if it is safe to take it during that time or do I need to wait until my bp meds kick in.

I got hurt on the job.My fingers on my dominant hand went through some rollers on a printing press.In just one week I have had 2 surgerys and the doctors say there is more to come.And a lot of hand therapy.Should I get a workmans comp. lawyer to handle my case.I am afraid if I dont that after everything gets fixed and later in the future I have problems again with my hand that I willl have to cover it.Are the lawyers free and do you have any suggestions?

Does he/she diagnose their condition/s themselves? Can they perform the same eye tests they use for their patients on themselves? Or do they go to another optometrist, perhaps a fellow eye doctor friend, and get their prescription for glasses/contacts there?

Just curious to know, I've seen a few optometrists wearing glasses themselves. :)
Thanks for any help! :D

Over the past couple of days i have been getting a pain in my left leg, mostly behind my knee and down the back of my leg. Any suggestions as to what this could be? I have high cholesterol if that makes any difference (hopefully not though!). I havent banged it, sprained it, pulled a muscle or anything like that so im pretty much at a loose end!
Any help would be great - thank you :)

i keep changing self-esteems!
i am so happy at home, then I go to school and hate myself. I act, sound and feel different. I talk to my friends and think " ah i hate the way i talk to people" then i go home and love everything! I can ignore this but it comes back.
its VERY annoying. i think to myself that i can start over again at university or when i get a job and make new friends and be happier.

I fear i don't get treated right and won't get the right boyfriend/s and friends!

Even when I am with my friends and can be as happy as possible, I feel stupid! I keep that bad personality. Then I go home and think "why did i do that!"

then I pop the big sad thought to myself:
"If people saw me as I see myself, I'd have so many friends and people would like me more."

i just always wish i could take the personality i have at home to school with me.

i keep changing self-esteems!

Right away, my hearing dropped dramatically, and I had ringing in both ears (especially the right one). After about 2-3 hours everything got much better. But this morning I noticed that my hearing is not the same as it was. I hear voices and louder sounds clearly, but hear the clicking of my computer mouse somewhat muffled. And I feel as if there is cotton in my ears. Is this a sign that permanent hearing loss has occured? I know I am in the wrong category, but I am not getting good answer anywhere else, so I thought that "optical" could loosely be related to hearing.

Sometimes I get nervous for no reason resulting in me getting a really bad stomach ache and then needing the toilet. I've finally found out it's not food, it's emotion that triggers it off however I find if I relax the pain will go. However, my stomach goes into a defense, worry kind of position which causes the pain to come back...

When im distracted and forget about the pain, it goes but its hard because the pain is strong, it's hard to forget.

What can I do?

Thanks alot in advance

Over that past few days I have noticed I have had a pain on the left side of my chest, near the top of my ribs. It is worse when Lying down or sitting and it comes and goes. The pain is not unbearable but it is certantly there.
I have been to the doctor recently because I have had abdominal pain and blood in stool. Should I tell him about this symptom too, or is it probably nothing to worry about,
Does pain in the chest point anything out??
Thanks

I need to lose about 40kg and don't have money for a gym membership. I have started yoga and pilates, and walking most days a week. I'm also trying not to eat carbs and chocolate. I take a multivitamin tablet every day.

Does anyone have any additional advice they can give me? Nice only. Rude/offensive comments will be reported.

My teeth are so bad that I cant even sleep at night...I barely eat because it hurts too bad!!! Im barely scraping by & am in EXCRUCIATING pain with my teeth day after day.
