Health - 21 September 2007

I got a stress test done about a year ago because I was having problems running. When I was younger I was diagnosed with sports induced asthma and put on an inhaler. When I asked my new doctor to write a prescription for an inhaler he hooked me up to an EKG, and a daily heart monitor for 1 week. When I did my stress test my heart rate was over 200 and I was walking uphill. I was fine, no pain. When I run I get a sharp pain along with a lot of pressure at my sternum, I cough a lot and I have a burning sensation while breathing. I need to breathe through my mouth because I become short of breath. This is the kicker, this happens only after about 2 minutes of jogging at a 9minute mi pace. Now as of now I am not really in shape per se I mean i'm a tiny thing but I haven't worked out in about 3 months. But when I did my stress test I was training for a .5 marathon I was runnin 5 mi a day. What is wrong with me? Anyone have any answers?

When I'm home alone, I like to strip down to wearing just my wool socks. I scoot around on the carpet to build up a static charge, then shock my manly parts on the doorknobs in my house. It isn't a fetish though, no gratification or anything. I just really like to do it. I don't know why...

Is this common among guys?

So i'm just wondering, because a few friends and i are in a heated debate.
wouldn't you much rather orgasm in ten minutes rather than in three or four?
if you think about it, where is the fun after you have an orgasm?

I'm on a low carb diet and have heard you should try not to eat too much salt, as it may hinder weight loss? Is this true? And if so does anyone know the logic behind it?

Antibiotics are anti-bacterial, not anti-viral and doctors know that full well so why do they keep giving people antibiotics for no reason when they know that they will do more harm than good? Haven't they pledged to do "no harm"?

Is it just me or is a pap smear the worst thing ever? I went for my first exam yesterday and it was awful. I didn't want togo but I had to to get birth control for college. They had me lie with my butt right on the egde of a table with my legs spread and up in the air in crutches so they could see everything. The doctor then put a needle inside me ? and then pushed her fingers right inside me. I am not sure this is the right, why do you have to feel so humiliated? Does this happen every year or was it just cause it was my first visit?
