Ok soo last week around wednesday I started getting this pain in my chest, and i thought it was just a strained muscle or something, so I ignored it. It kept getting worse though, and then I started getting a cough, stuffy nose, and sore throat. So then I assumed it was a cold or something, and ignored it again. But now I have a terrible, almost constant cough. Sometimes it sounds like there's something in my lungs, and other times it has this deep sound to it. I'm an asthmatic, and I've been taking my inhalor, but it isn't really helping. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow, but does anyone have any ideas about what it could be?

I ate dinner about 2 hours ago. I have this pang in my stomach that feels like I'm hungry, but I know I'm not. I eat pretty well, I just get these cravings for food before I go to bed. What's the best thing to do? I used to eat until I felt satisfied, but I'm thinking about eating an apple instead.

My legs are driving me nuts. Im 18 years old and am 6'5 and my legs are killing me. They feel like I just ran a marathon. Its not really a bad pain or a numb feeling, its more like a restless feeling. Its very hard to explain. Could these be growing pain cause I have grown over an inch in the past few months and my father was 6'7? Or is this something more serious like diabetes? Its been happening for about a week. Please help.

A few days ago i asked a question about having knots under my arm and someone from this web site said it sound like my body is fighting something. So I would like to know what's something that it could be fighting off that would be the reason for me to have knots under my arm? See at first I was thinking that maybe it was because of my milk get ready to come in. see i'am just one month away from having my baby, the longer the knots are there the more I get scared.

I recently gained weight after I stopped running and I need to slim down some. So I'm wondering if skipping meals is going to make my lose weight or gain weight. Among other things that I'm doing to slim down are cutting back on what I eat and exercising some.

ok i have both of my ears gauged .
my left ear is a 2 [6mm] [not infected]
my right is not an 8 and infected i guaged it from a a normal 18
to this with a taper it was doing fine for a few days i was swelling at first but thats normal and went down as the day went on now after like 3 days i didnt clean it one night and i woke up it was sore red i later took it out in the school bathroom ot clean it and blood and pusk came out
i knew it was infected so i cleaned it and and squeezed most of the pusk out and then put my taper back in it didnt get better as the day went on so i mixed sea salt and all of that stuff ui soaked it and applied pressure with cotton balls

now the real question is is it ok for me to put my taper back in or should i leave it out for a few days until all swelling goes down?

[please only reply if you know what you are tlaking bout and know a gauges work i already know not to put rubbing alochol neosporin etc.. on it]

I had an abdominal hysterectomy 7 weeks ago. For some reason, I have had off/on bladder problems ever since the surgery - constant urinating. I took a UTI test last week and it came back that I had a UTI so I went on antibiotics but now I'm doing the constant urinating again. My doctor just seems to blow me off and says it's normal but I can't believe it is. Has anyone had this problem and how did they handle it with their doctor.
