I've recently been diagnosed with Asthma at 31, I do running and my asthma attacks happen at any given time. Two nights ago, I had for the first time my first real asthma attack while out on a run. I was only out 10 mins when it started. When I came home I took two puffs and was still wheezing like heck for another 30 mins. It was scary!

How do you run with asthma, is it even possible? These attacks follow no pattern.

Thanks!

I have a tooth that needs to come out but I don't have insurance. It is giving me a headache; a tension headache.

My father broke his ankle in 3 places last fall and had to have screws to repair it. It will still bother him if hes on it for long periods of time. Hes almost 60 and I think hes got arthritis in it now. He is a carpenter by trade and has to be on his feet everyday. Does anyone know if infered heat will help him get some relief? Or any other suggestions? He does take meds for his heart and for cholesterol too. So yes, hes already on asprin.

When they have to take iron 3x daily, eat well, iron tests come back as improving, then they're taken off the iron and immediately get sick again. What is usually found during the endoscopy in such a case? Please tell me it's not something like cancer.

Ugh. I am having a cardiac cath today. I am only 45 and a thin vegetarian who is active. I had a virus that damaged my heart. This is very difficult for me to accept.

My husband accepted a meeting at work at the same time as my cardiac cath, four days after he said his schedule was clear and 4 days before the procedure. He sent me an email of the meeting setup and asked if I could get a ride. I did, but I was hurt. This is not the first time work has come first. Last night I found out he has 20 days of vacation time stored up. (I would have thought he would have put in for a vacation day as soon as my cath was scheduled.)

In general, he is a good man. He helps out around the house and is sweet to me, a good provider, but work comes first.

Now this morning he is watching tv before he goes to work. He is so busy at work he can't get out of a meeting, but he is watching tv before work.

Is this as bad as it feels to me?

I am so unbelievably terrified. I've had a sudden increase in vaginal discharge -- it's yellowish, thin, and heavy. It doesn't smell TOO bad (a little fishy, but not really), but it is heavy and yellowish and I've noticed it in the past week or so. The last time I had sex was also about a week ago, and my period isn't due for another week and a half. Or so.

Please offer any advice you may have. I have a doctor's appointment scheduled Tuesday morning, but I'm really, really freaking out. When I called and the nurse ran through a lot of symptoms with me, she didn't seem too concerned but scheduled me an appointment to test for infection. I've researched bacterial vaginosis, but there are so many blurbs on Answers that say increased discharge is also associated with pregnancy. I am on the NuvaRing, and have been for nearly a year without many problems. I am so absolutely terrified - please please help me

My friend who is a girl started taking the pill and due to the hormone change in her bloodstream she now has dark circles under her eyes. She has only been on the pill for a little while. Will her body adapt to the hormone change and will the dark circles clear up in time or will she have to constantly use concealer?

what foods can be used to help lower high blood pressure without triggering the unwanted symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) my digestion does not work too well with high levels of fibre because of suffering (IBS). If I have something containing high levels of fibre it triggers off that problem, and just wanted to know if there is anything that can be used as a cure to help this. I also have a friend who suffers with the same problem, and cannot eat anything dairy. Are there any good recipes that we could try which may just possibly help us? we would very much appreciate any assitance regarding this. Many Thanks.

Hello
Just under 5 months ago I began with a tremor down my left hand side, I was admitted to hospital where they did a MRI, EEG and blood tests. They couldn't find any reason for the tremor but refused to run more tests and said it was psychological. I really don't understand this I wasn't under that much pressure just day to day living stuff and if I do get stressed I talk about it so that it doesn't get bottled up. I'm really confused the tremor isn't my only symtom though I can't concerntrate, I have postral gaite (stuffle), and some slight memory loss, this is scary and my doctor just won't believe me. Please help
