Can anybody throw any light onto why I should wake up on my back in the morning, with complete numbness of my left hand? i have not slept on it, nor am i overweight. i know that the brachial plexus nerve is situated on your left and something either heart or lung may be pressing on it, if i sleep on back, as everything moves downwards.
any clues please? thank you so much.

the doc told me that my thyroid hormone is a little higher than norm. free T3 was 3.83Pg/dl which is about 0.3 above the higher end of the norm. free T4 was 1.62 which is just 0.02 above the higher end of the norm. my TSH level was normal and it was 2.75UIU/ml. I am wondering what could cause slightly higher free T3 level and TSH still staying in the normal range. I have symptoms that could be associated with high thyroid hormone. My heart beat feel so fast after a little excersise and shortness of breath appear at the same time with fast heart beat. its hard to sleep sometimes when the symptom appears. This is very bothering me and I wonder if anyone have some idea what should i do to cure these and what could be the cause. Because my heart beat sometimes is very uncomfortable and it makes me anxicious. I really would like to be fine like before.

It seems like even when I get 8 or 9 hours of sleep, I'm always exhausted the next day. My boyfriend says that when I fall asleep before him, I start to snore a bit, it gets louder and louder and then I wake up gasping for air and sit up really quick and then go back to sleep. He says I do this maybe 4 times within an hour period before he eventually falls asleep (so maybe even more times per hour). I never remember doing this at night. Is this sleep apnea? If so, do most insurances cover the sleep study required to diagnose it and cover the machine to aleviate it? I'm only 23.. why would I have this? Is it genetic? My dad seems to do the same thing.

I was streching my back/neck last week and since then whenever I lay down a few seconds later the room spins for about 5-10 seconds and the same thing when I get up. It was really bad a few days ago but has seemed to almost go away, what would cause this? I am guessing it had to do with my back/neck.

They sort of appeared over night. The first blisters I got was one on my right breast, and two on my right collar bone. They are about 1/2 in. in size. Then there was one on my face, and then a few more came on my face, most the same 1/2 in. size. They seem to be filled with a clear watery liquid and when they pop the skin peels off and it's red and sorta stings when I wash my face. I've been eating soy a lot more than often so I think it might be an allergic reaction to that. I also thought it might be caused by sweat that occurs when I workout, I'm not sure though. Someone please help me!

(visit my other question for more info) Okay well i just looked in the mirror and i saw these small rashes next to my Hemorrhoids bump. I touched it and it didn't hurt but it smells. Did i just get the rashes because it was un-clean? Is it just a rash? Or is it something else?

i am feeling great pain in my stomach and i think it may be a peptic ulcer, but can other things leak out of an ulcer besides the acid? Ive had stomach issues previously, like excess acid and other pains. It has really been bothering me and im going to the doctors tomorrw. but if i were to eat food could it hurt me?

I was dianogised with gestasional diabetes when I was pregnant with my son 4 years ago. And now I have adult diabetes type 2 and I haven't been paying close attention to it, until just recently. I have started getting weaker no energy and tonight I have noticed both of my toe nails on my big toe are coming off. Is this part of it too?
