Hey, I got my blood pressure taken and it was 126/70. I'm an 18 year old female. Is that good, average, too high or too low? I got a severe history of heart problems and high blood pressure in my family, so I just want to keep a check on it. Thanks.

...it's a medication or some other source called clomid (or it's probably spelled C-L-E-M-I-D or C-L-O-M-E-D--or something like that) i heard that it's supposed to help chicks get pregnant quick or something like that. does anyone know what i'm talking about or has even heard about it?

I dealt with the pain (excrutiating, to say the least), because my family doc waited until 4:45 on Friday afternoon to call me back and say they couldn't call in a prescription for the numbing eye drops I requested, because an eye injury was not something to treat over the phone. Anyway, the pain is pretty much gone now, but I'd rather not go to a doc if I don't have to. I know eyesight is not something to mess with, but if it feels much better, is it safe to assume there's no real damage done?

I just took tums thinking it treats diarria and it doesn't. So, now I finally found the thing that does treat it but I don't know if I should take it...the thing that does treat diarria that I found is called "Equate Stomach Relief"

they're basically brand name chewable tablets

Hi everyone~ So, I'm a bit embarrassed to um say this but today I had several bowel movements and the last few were blue. I'm not talking like deep blue and no I haven't eaten any blue foods (or anything with blue dye) in recent days. It was actually more of a blue green and very loose with a mucus-like consistency.
HELP. Am I shitting out the lining of my intestine or something like that?!
Any SERIOUS ANSWER would be greatly appreciated! (ie NOT "wow yours is blue...that's cool!") Yeahhh no.

ps I have intestinal problems normally (nothing officially diagnosed) and I've pretty much seen everything in that toilet bowl but never this.

I've noticed that after nights of heavy beer consumption, I wake up with very painful leg cramps. I get these cramps occasionally (I assume as a result of a potassium deficiency) and eating a banana usually causes them to subside.

So, is there something specific in beer that would cause this? I don't get the cramps after drinking wine or liquor.

My husband is aware that he has a body odor, it secretes through his sweat glands and it seems to be coming from internal and not external.The WHOLE upstairs of our house smells like him. Its a pretty foul odor and sometimes I cant stomach it. I love him with all my heart and soul but he prefers a body pouff over a washcloth and he doesnt scrub, he only wipes the soap gently over his body. How can I tell him that we need to cure the odor and he needs to wash vigorously with a washcloth and get rid of it.
What can I do, lastnight we were outside with the neighbors and I could smell him blowing in the air; so I know they could smell him. Hes the kinda guy you cant level with; he will blow up with rage and anger if I confront him and his feelings are hurt easily so whats another way to bring this to attention and a cure!!!???

im partially epileptic, and although ive not had a grand mal for years, i do have 'moments' (kind of deja vu leads to a blackout dont remember what the hell just happened when i come round) and ive noticed its ALWAYS been around my period or just after - does this affect anyone else?

im on low dose of medication basically as a preventative thing, and i had the idea of upping the dose at these times of the month, but when i mentioned this to my gp and then to my consultant i just got blank looks and the idea was just completely brushed off.

the thing is theyre men and i dont know if they understand how much periods can mess with your body. i tend to get really emotional around my periods too, could the mixed-up and depressed state of mind am in at these times be affecting my epilepsy instead?

I had an "episode" last night and I'm not sure if it is related to past issues, or just a menstral thing. I've had severe depression as a teen, never diagnosed, but had the symptoms and have been doing well the past four years. I've recently moved away from my family and friends and get down at times. But the past few times I've had my period, I've had severe emotional trouble the week before my period. I have trouble having any feelings, and when I do I get so upset I cry all day. I call last night an episode because it wasn't the usual sob, it was like my mother had just died. Then all of a sudden, I stopped I think mostly because I wanted to. I'm not sure if I should talk to a gyno or a psychologist.

When I was in Africa I got a random scab on my wrist. Since then I've been getting random scabs on my body-on my ankle, over my knee, on my arm, and now i have a cluster of them on my calf. Is there some kind of disease or rash that can cause this? Because I can't think of anything I could have done to get these scabs.
