My Father has High BP and his mom had a triple bypass, and high bp and other stuff. How might this affect my chances of getting heart disease and what are other contributing factors? (besides smoking and birthcontrol pills, I don't do either of those). How important is weight for instance?

It's almost like I'm in panic mode. You know what it's like when you fall asleep somewhere you're not supposed to, and you wake yourself up? Almost like falling. When I am almost asleep, I wake up with my heart racing and sometimes sweating. This is getting old. What can I do about this? It happens all night and it's really hard to get back to sleep after one of these things. Is it hormones? I think I am starting perimenopause.

I am currently taking Accutane, which can only be administered if you are in the IPLEDGE program. This program is ridiculously inconvenient, and expensive. It is used to treat persistent acne. There are blood tests and UA's which amount to a lot of bills. But it is the only affective treatment I have found yet for my acne.
The program is just so ridiculously hard to do because inbetween my doctor visit, I have to go online, and fill out some retarded questions about how I'm preventing myself from getting pregnant, and then I have to go to the pharmacy, and RECEIVE the perscription, before 7 days pass (beginning from the day I saw my doctor). If the pharmacy is out, then I'm SOL, because then I have to wait another month before I can get my perscription again because IPLEDGE is gay.
I am really looking to get out of this program because it is AWFUL and I hate it. Does any one know of any other program or treatment that works for acne? I am not talking face scrubs and other stuff.

My doctor checked the meds I take and she said it's not my meds and she thinks its either a mistake from the lab or something going on in my body. What could cause this and how do you cure it?? What could be the side effects if this continues?

What do you think? Should they lower it to 18? Or keep the age at 21? And why do you feel that way? Just curious.

'what is MRSA',
'how does it spread',
'is is dangerous',
'what is the treatment',
'are there any long term effects',
'can i hold/visit my baby'

I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

I was raped a little over a week ago.
after that I attempted suicide and have been in a hospital untill this past weekend.
normally I am a straight- A student and good at work. Lately I haven't been able to concentrate at all. I feel like I'm letting everyone at work down, and noone (except my dad-the owner) knows what is going on.
How do I make myself concentrate now. I really don't want my grades to drop, but I'm so exhausted just trying to keep my head above water.
any advice?

So far I have not had any urinary infections.
I agree its better to wear condom, but we both agree unprotected anal sex gets us closer mentally.
Anyone out there who shares this view and enjoy unprotected anal sex with their wife / husband without infection?
Please help as this is enjoyed immensely as alternative play

I want to lose about 20 pounds, and I joined the gym, but only manage to get there about once a week. I go after work because I would have to get up way too early to drive there and back in order to beat rush hour traffic. But when I get off work all I really want to do is make dinner for me and my boyfriend, and relax on the couch watching tv. It is such a chore to make myself go work out. Is there something I am missing that could give me motivation?

Its kind of more than an "empty stomach". Ive gone through a break-up and its really hurting me, even though i was the one that initiated it. I still love him so its hard.

I havent eaten anything in 4 days. only a spoonfull of chinese rice, some noodles and a bran muffin. I tried eating today but i just cant keep food down.

Is it bad if i went jogging? I think it will help to take my mind off things. My girlfriends want me to come with them... can i pass out if i go jogging when i havent eaten?
