Health - 24 October 2007

This summer we went 2 cancun, mexico on vacation. while we were there, i got very dizzy 1 night. i felt like i was going 2 fall over. i didn't think anything of it until we got home. see it's been since july that the 1st episode happened & it's still happening. all of a sudden i'll get really dizzy & nauseous. i've also had this "cracking" in my right ear. it's very annoying. could these things be connected? & what's going on w/ these dizzy episodes? help please. & tell me something other than going 2 the doctor b/c i told my mom & she says it's nothing but i'm not sure.

I do a heavy lifting routine three times a week (West Side for Skinny Bastards). But every day, I've started doing a new HIIT routine on an elliptical trainer. I chose HIIT because it's good to combine with a muscle building routine, and it takes about half the time as a regular cardio routine.

Here's what I do:
5 minutes warm up
1 minute sprint-pace
1 minute jog-pace
^Keep repeating the above two paces for another 12 minutes
5 minutes cool down

I put the machine on a pretty high resistance (15 out of 20) and maintain speeds of 9 mph sprint, 5.5 mph jog.

So it's basically a 22 minute routine with 10 minutes of warm up/rest and 12 minutes of the sprint/jog pace intervals. It makes me sweat soo much more than I ever have doing cardio, be it on an elliptical, jogging, biking (unless it's 85+ degrees out)...so I know it's really working me.

Every week I'm going to add another 2 minutes (1 minute sprint, 1 minute jog) or 1 interval to the routine. What do you think?

Okay, so I read somewhere that antidepressants can cause mania in bipolar people if there is no mood stabilizer present. I've tried a few different antidepressants. Both have made me suicidal and gradually worsening hallucinations [which I didn't have before the meds] with a few other side effects. Could I be bipolar or is it I just haven't found the right medicine yet?

Do you know why? and do you think these two things are related or just a coincidence?

I know I need to go to the doctor, but I cant afford it right now.

I'm not going to say that many of us around the world aren't overweight, but the standardized measurements of the BMI don't take excess muscle or a very curvy shape into account - someone with a bodybuilders physique or a woman with large breasts might classify as overweight when in actuality, they are normal.

Why have we bought into this? I always thought it was scientifically accurate. Do you think it is accurate?

There is a BMI slide show online, search it and see if you are as suprised as I was.

I have problems relating to my nose and my eyes. I constantly live my life with a plugged nose. One hole is always open while the other one is not. Sometimes it switches holes though. Does anybody know any natural remedies to this problem? I also tend to pick my nose when it feels irritated also, could that be the reason why its irritated?? Secondly, I constantly have irritated eyes. I am not sure as to what this is from but it is very annoying as well. I feel like a fool every time I have to open wide my eyes in front of my friends due to my problem. Also when I am reading I tend to have to open them wide also and it is very hard to keep a consistent reading session without my eyes bothering me. BTW I have very long eyelashes and I feel that they sometimes get in the way. Is there anyway to fix this problem? Whether it be clipping my eyelashes or something else? Thankyou and the help is very appreciated!!

What's this bs about I have to go to the pharmacist and sign my name and show photo id in order to buy Claritin-D? I can get perscription codine or steroids or narcotics without an id as long as i give them my name and address, but I have to sign my name and show id for Claritin-D? What's the point of putting the drug over the counter when I have to go through more nonsense then before. Yes, I know pseudephedrine is now a controlled substance, but if that's the case, shouldn't Claritin-D just go back to being perscription required?

Hey, I'm in weight training, and we're maxing out tomorrow [we max out once a quarter so we can easily see improvement at the end of the year]. I've done a little bit of lifting before the class, but I've never done maxing before.

I'm 150 lbs, 6'2", 16 years old.

Normally I do this whenever we Bench during class-

85lbs
Set 1 - 12 Reps
Set 2 - 10 Reps
Set 3 - 9 Reps
Set 4 - 8 Reps

I feel this is a good weight for me, as I can barely finish the last set.

Can anyone give me a rough estimate on how much I should try to max tomorrow? My friend said I'd be able to do 140 no problem, and another friend said he got to 160 today [he's a bit bigger then me, and he had the same course today], so as of now I'm thinking of starting at 140 and seeing where I go from there...

Any comments/suggestions?

can ADHD medications increase irritability and/or paranoia?
also, my eye twitches, should i bring that up at my next appointment?

I have tried four different kinds of pills. I have vomited with three of them. I am so tired of being sick but I want to make sure I am safe. My doctor told me that progesterone in the pills is what is making me sick. Are there any pills without progesterine or progesterone or whatever?

Also, I do not want to take a pill that can stop my bleeding completely (alothough ones that would "lighten the load' would be okay), or something that can cause me to not be pregnant for up to five years.

Does anyone know of anything?
