I'm also trying raw garlic. I would just like to know if anyone has experience on what other fruits and vegetables are good for lowering blood pressure. Thanks.

Okay, I am going to the dentist in about an hour and I had to have this particular one because the man I prefer is booked out. This dentist however makes a lot of small talk, asking me about college and my family etc etc and I find it makes my anxiety worse and I just want him to get on with the job rather than probing into my life. Would it be rude to ask him not to? And how could I do this politely?

Does anyone have difficulty with their bladder spasaming to where you feel like you have to pee ten minutes after you go to the bathroom? I have been to the gyno and tested for everything from a yeast infection, to UTI to STD's so its not any of those. I also notice that it is much worse during my period. What can help with this uncomfortable feeling?

I take ortho tricyclen. The dr prescribed me amoxcillin 500mg 3 times a day fpr 10 days. i started taking them 7 days before i usually start my period. Me and my BF had unprotected sex the entire time i was on them. My "period" was a few days late and lighter than usual. Only like 2 or 3 days of spotting. Really my question is what are the chances of me getting pregnant since i was only a week away from my period? Wouldnt i be far enough into the month that the BC would have already stopped me from "ovulating"? Keep in my mind i have been on the pill for years and take it every day.
Thanks.

is that bad?
my doctor asked me if i was sexually active.
and i said no.
they asked me if i did drugs.
i said no
they asked me if i smoked i said no.


is that bad? when do i have to tell them the truth.
the only reason i lied.
is because im "young"
and shouldnt do any of that.
annd.. becuase my mom was n the room
even

if my mom wasnt n the room.
i still woulda lied. because im not seposed to do
any of that anyways. AND because they woulda
told my mom.. lol

so whatever.

can you get n any trouble for lying?
when do i have to tell them the truth?
and what happens if they found out i lied?
and why do they care if you do any of that anyways?

My most professional sources (professional weight trainer at school who has trained NFL players, and my high school tennis coach) say that you go until your arms are 90 degrees. However, many people have said that you should go to about 1 inch from your chest or else chest muscles won't be worked enough. The diagram on the wall of the school weight room says you should briefly touch your chest. What do you guys think?

Although the rash isn't ever visible on my back now, I do still get it, mostly on my arms and hands and very occasionally on my stomach. I smoke (not much though) and I do enjoy a drink (mostly Lager.) My Doc says it's a yeast infection which I am doubting. I drank Lager and smoked b4 the rash appeared but when I do drink Lager it does make the rash appear worse. It is never itchy unless I get very warm through running or exposure to high heat. I know lager is high in yeast so maybe the Doc is right (?) I have history in my family of Diabetes (long history) and heart problems. Any suggestions please?

I'd be relaxing when I suddenly feel my left earlobe become increasingly warm or sometimes hot to the touch, whereas my right earlobe is perfectly normal. It's not painful at all. Not a common occurance but it does happen from time to time. Wondering why this is...

I haven't done any sit ups or anything else in the past week or two, so why is this happening? When I am laying down, when I try to raise straight up, i can't because my abs hurt so much. And my shoulder is sore too. I do have weight lifting but I havent lifted since Friday, and on Saturday nor Sunday did I have these pains. Does anyone know what they are from?

I sometimes get uti's but mostly just bladder spasams and symptoms of a uti without having one. I have been to a urologist years ago and got a cystoscope done and never ever want one done again fully conscience. All Urologists that I know of do them in their office with no sedation or even a sedative. How do I find a urologist to do this test with at least a sedative!! I am in pain nearly all the time but the test is awful and it makes me sick to my stomach to think about getting it again.
