Thanks

We were doing science projects in school today. One guy was checking people's blood pressures for his project. My heart rate was 105 and it went up to 108 after an energy drink. My friend's heart rate was 120 and she's thin too. I got back home and I checked again and now its 91. I'm 14, weigh 131 which is normal for my height. I have been experiencing a lot of stress in school because finals are coming up. My mom has heart problems. Can this be because of the stress? Please help..

I wouls like to gain some weight but I just don't want to eat unhealthy and get a "beer belly". Do protein shakes work? Also can I just exercise and gain weight? What exercises do I do?

I want to die. My family is so messed up its sad all we do is hurt eachother. I want to die I feel like there is no reason to go on. I really feel like killing myself right now. I am just tired and want the pain to stop. I have been cutting myself for 4 years but its not helping anymore. I want to cry but I can't. I don't have anyone one I can talk to about this. I have my best friend but I'm scared she would tell someone and my family find out. I just feel like this empty shell and I hurt so bad. I'm young but I have been threw a lot. I know self harm is wrong but I don't want to stop. I don't know what to do. I cut myself again today and I'm upset about that because I know I should not do it. I just have no one. I hate that I am this way. What do I do?

About a week ago, I was walking in front of a convenience store and slipped on some snow/ice outside. I didn't feel anything at all immediately after the fall. It was only the next day that I noticed a great big bruise on my right arm and my knee started to hurt.

No, hurt isn't the right word. I can stand for about 15 minutes before moving from that position, even if its just to walk starts this ache that runs through my leg.

After all day at work, where I have to walk as part of my job but I'm not required to stand all day unless its busy, I'm ok so long as I remain standing (though that hurts my feet). The moment I try to sit down, knee bent or not, there's sheer agony. Its so bad I could cry. But it goes away after about 15 minutes of sitting without moving, unless I was standing all day in which case I can barely move for hours.

Its at the front of my knee right at or below the kneecap.

On Sat I had an hour or so where I have horrible cramping and backaches, nausea. Went to the bathroom and saw I had some pink-tinged discharge. The next morning (Sunday) I got a peak reading on my fertility monitor, meaning I had a LH surge and would ovulate within 24-36 hours. Was a little crampy on Sunday. The last few days I have had some random pains in my right ovary (although also had some in my left) and have felt somewhat bloated. Why the hardcore ovulation??? This happened 2 cycles ago as well. I am TTC#2 and had intercourse on Sunday and last night. A few months ago I had a miscarriage and when they did a vaginal ultrasound at the ER they also found a small functional cyst on my right ovary that they said not to worry about. What do you think???

Think I might of pulled a muscle when I was sleeping but unsure if that would cause a nauseous feeling and pressure or not. Thanks for the help!
