Health - 7 October 2007

Just finished a 5-day trip and although I am usually obsessive about my eating habits (ie, no excessive fat, about 1500 calories per day, high level of activity), I ate WHATEVER I wanted--and it really was excessive. I feel horrible about myself and am just curious... does anyone else exercise this TOTAL lack of control while on vacation?

My ex-husband is an alcoholic and I'm scared that my son would turn into one also. So, I'm looking for organizations or societies that might us be informed about alcoholism. I don't want my son to be like his father. I want him to realize the consequences of abusing alcohol so that he would try to stay away from it. Please help me. I want to save my son.

Even though the radiation from a microwave is the 2nd safest, isn't it still bad for you? For example, it isn't good if you use it to cook a meal once a day with it...right?

If you were to only eat salads, fruit and drink water everyday is this a healthy diet or does the body have to have meat to survive. Thanks.

My daughter is 21 handicapped, tiny in stature and a little overweight, she first went for an EKG that came back abnormal, she then went for a echocardiogram and the doctor found a little hardening of the aortic artery of her heart. Now they want to give her a eet test ,not sure if i am saying this right. its a test where they knock her out and put a tiny camera down her throat to monitor the heart even closer. For this she has to go to the hospital the test should take an hour and then the recovery is an hour. Has anyone ever had this done and what are they looking for and with the hardening of the artery can that be treated with medicine. Also, what causes hardening of the arteries. Any help or advice of this would be appreciated cause I am very concerned and worried. My daughter is my life. THANKS!!!!

I've been having heart palpations every few hours, chest pains especially when i take a deep breath, dizziness every so often, and headaches. I'm kinda scared, because i've been having this for a couple of days, and today i got kinda sick too, with headache and sore throat and such. I'm not entirely sure what's causing this. It's getting me nervous. Anyone have any advice on what i should do? I also suffer anorexia with purging so I don't know if that would contribute to it at all...

Wondering what could cause a really rapid drop in hemoglobin, I had bloodwork taken in the morning(dr's appt) and in the evening(12 hours later) I had to go to the ER because I felt like utter crud(weak, dizzy) at the ER they said my hemoglobin was 30, it was 36 in the morning. (they could access that info because it was all the same medical center) No apparent cause of bleeding(stool check negative) so I hope its nothing really bad but I guess I should go to my doctor to follow it up. I don't drink, do drugs, or anything I can think of that would make it drop like that.

I have had about 3 episodes where I feel chest pain on the left side, my left arm hurts, and I get dizzy. Eventually it goes away, but my chest will always hurt without the other symptoms. I'm wondering if I can be having heart attacks that just go away or if that's impossible. Also, I have had an ultrasound, stress test, and electrocardiogram all have been normal expect that I have a begnin heart murmur.

ok, so with my son's humidifier, i wash it out with vinegar everyday. I let it air dry, but the tank you fill up sometimes isn't dry in time for the next use. I am super paranoid about bacteria building up from that water that is still in there. What is a way to make sure it dries up quick. Here is a picture of his humidifier

My back hurts all the time for some reasons. Is it because the way that I sit? When I sleep, I don't sleep sideway but flat. The next day I wake up, my back feels very stiff. What's wrong with me?

I'm not sure whether I have hirsutism, or just a lot of coarse hair due to genetics. I don't want to bother the doc with my problem if it's just the latter.
I don't have much of a mustache - I do some plucking, but the hair is fine and not very dark.
I have several patches of coarse, dark, beard-like hair on my chin. I also have a band of dark, fairly long, fine hair from my chest to my pubis.
My back is not very hairy, except for my lower back / butt - it's not coarse, but long and dark.
My leg hair is very dark and coarse.
Anyway, it makes for a lot of plucking, shaving, and waxing, and I grow tiresome. If any treatment is available for hirsutism is that is what I have, I'd like to look into it.
