Health - 5 November 2007

This weekend i was exposed to many cold hours in front of a scout bonfire with lots of smoke inhalation.

Now i just choked on water as i occassionally do and coughed up blood. I doubt it will happen again so i am wondering if i should wait it out since it might only be surface damage from second-hand bonfire smoke or should i call a doc?

PS. the last 3 times i went to the doc were for common ailments that just needed time to heal so i am reluctant to drop everything right now and go.



PSS. If you have no idea - don't bother answering. (If you just need the points - your priorities are whacked - but put a dumb answer in - just don't try too hard.)

idont know- i could just be a hypochondriac
but do i have bipolar?
i'm really depressed sometimes and when i am i just sleep and i always forget to eat so when i'm on my lows i lose a couple pounds
when i'm happy i get really hyper and dance and stuff and thats usually around the same time each day

i'm 14

lots of people say that doctors get bipolar and ADHD mixed up, i dont have ADHD do i?
i mean, i get distracted a lot and i forget things, but thats not a big deal, right?

Would you ever refuse sex if it was handed to you on a plate? How can I keep my boyfriend lusting after me? All advice appreciated, men are always very honest on here

past three years. It's not in one particular place, I have it mostly on the left side, and the middle, and sometimes radiates to the right side. Everytime I go to the doctor they say everythings fine which includes: the heart, lungs, breathing, etc. I always have trouble breathing when the chest pain occurs. The pain has gradually gotten worse, both in the amount of occurences, and the intensity on a scale of 1 to 10 ten being the most severe I would rate the pain as an 8 or 9. When I was around 13 or 14 years old a speacialst had sent me to a pediatric cardiologist to see if I could take some medicine. While there I had an EKG done, and the results said that one side of the heart is slower than the other and I think that's my right side, and that a normal heartbeat beats in the following order chamber 1, 2, 3, and 4. Finally, in August of 2006 when I was 17 years old I had experienced all the signs of a heart attack my dad had said that I was having one, it didn't seem like it. Help.

well lately sometimes i get these cramps in my foot where the toe beside my big toe stiffens and goes down and won't move for a few seconds and then it goes away. Then Sat night I went out and I wore some tall boots. The ones that come up to your knee. Well they hurt my feet if i walk too much in them. And I was dancing at a club so they were really hurting. At one point through the night I was on stage and jumped about a 2 ft down to the floor and it hurt so bad.

i woke up yesterday and my feet are sore which i know is understandable but my toe next to my big toe on my right foot feels like it is asleep. Kinda tingly . When i walk or touch it feel numb or like a rubberband is tied tight around it.

what does this mean? and why is it still feeling like that 2 days later.

FYI: recently i found out i have fibromyalgia and part of that was muscle spasms and restless leg syndrome.


So.........what do you think is wrong with my toe?

Anytime you try to bend down, you feel pain at the back, the lower you bend, the pain climbs upwards. It is so painful that you cant bend further.

I'm looking for a really good yoga routine on DVD. I would say that I'm on an intermediate level right now as far as skill is concerned. If possible, I'd like one that is about 45 minutes to an hour long. Have any of you come across a good one that you recommend?
Thanks much! :>)

My dentist has just informed me he is no longer doing dental work for the NHS. He is going private and wants me to take out a dental plan at £29 per month. Does this sound about right?
