Health - 4 October 2007

I am a 15 year old girl. The three of my grandparents that have died died of heart attacks and my living grandmother is having a pacemaker put in today. Since I'm seemingly destined to heart failure, What can I do to help prevent it?

In the past year and a half I have been giving off a pretty strong odor on most days (i don't know why not everyday or vice versa). I am also not overweight (I'm 16 yrs, 5'11, 145 lbs). I usually smell fine after I take my showers (2 a day), but once I put my deodorant on (i use the stick now, last year I used spray), a little later I start to smell pretty bad. I wasn't able to smell it last school year but I can tell when I smell bad this year.
My diet hasn't changed durastically either. I just want to know if there is any way I can help this problem. I cannot last like this anymore in my life, I feel like I've tried everything.

I do have a doctor's appointment next friday, but I feel embarrassed if I were to ask my doctor what I should do about my body odor.

I was just wondering if being sick can cause an increase in heart rate? I have what seems like an upper resperitory cold or something and it seems as though my heart rate is higher than usual.

etc. She also has a cold. She has had the cold for 4 days now and just got the rash this morning.

I wanted to know how soon after you start dating someone should you tell them about your medical condition? Should you tell them right from the start or wait a while?

The lenses darken in the sun, they are bifocals as well, but the prescriptions for reading and distance are both fairly weak at +1.25 and -.5
does this seem right?
oh yeah, and I am in Canada.

For the last month my eyes have been hurting when I move them almost constantly. About twice a week and getting more frequent, I feel a popping sensation then my vision goes out. It stays out between 10-17 HOURS then it comes back with a popping sensation. I have now started feeling light headed and nauseas. I went to a neurologist and they diagnosed it as migraine but it doesn’t fit for several reason one is that it last for hours.
What should I do?

I am so scared. I dont know what to do. It seems like the Dr.s dont really care or want to prevent my scoliosis from getting worst. I am wondering a few things:

(my curve is 30 degrees upper back (between shoulder blades) and 11 degrees lower back. my lower back hardly ever hurts but lately my upper back is starting to hurt alot sometimes.) I am 23 years old. female. I think I still might have a few years of growth left because I am such a late bloomer.

1. should i consider getting surgery now?
2. will my curves get much worst in the coming years?
3. if i wait to get surgery until my curve gets very bad will the surgery be more risky or painful ?
4. could a brace still help me now?
5. my dr said that i should be fine until about menopause and then the curve might get bad due to weaker body/osteoperosis. so doesnt that mean i should get surgery now?
I am so scared and sad. can someone please help me. Im having a panic attack about this because my dr's dont really help me.

My lip was seriously chapped, and has now cracked. It's been this way a few days. It just keeps cracking in the same place, it won't heal.
Is it ok to put antibiotic ointment on my lip? Of course I would try not to lick my lips. It really hurts.
