I went into the emergancy room this last weekend for chest pain that turned out to be an anxiety attack. However, when the ekg results came back the doctor said that it was "not normal but not abnormal either" I pressed for details and he said that my heart was taking longer to recharge but it was firing and working fine. He didn't say anything else but told me to follow up and see a doctor, he also said they could do a stress test in the hospital if I wanted. I didn't opt for that but when I got home I was looking up different things on the net and found some really scary stuff. Now I am more anxious than ever. I am trying to get into a doctor now but I think I might have Long QT Syndrome. I was just wondering if anyone else has heard of anything like this and maybe it wasn't Long QT or maybe it was something else. They did blood work as well and said it was all normal. I know Long QT is rare and I do not have that diagnosis but my mind is running away from me. :(

This condition is on both feet ankle area. First noticed after using college football kit ie socks and boots. Dorment in cold weather and very active in hot weather. When you prick the blisters, a sticky fluid comes out and it is painful.

I have been living in Southern India off and on for 4 1/2 years. I have been bitten many times before. My response was mostly very itchy in the general area. After my arrival last September, I started developing more serious reactions to the ant bites. I sneeze and wheeze, a lot of mucus comes out of my nasal passages, and then I fall asleep deeply for about 3 hours. Sometimes my whole face neck and arms have this faint feeling of itchiness. Usually I am aloof for the rest of the day -- like my brain is not fully functioning; if I eat meat, my haziness goes away. I have been dealing with this for 11 months. Any practical suggestions (besides moving or getting rid of the ants)? These reactions have had a debilitating affect on my household responsibilities and personal feelings of credibility.

I wake up tired, no matter how much sleep I get. My eyes are always puffy so people can tell that I'm tired. I'm fatigue at work. My brain is also slower to respond.

My family doctor doesn't know what it is. I have my allergy pills/spray -- been on that stuff for over a month, still no improvement. We even removed the carpets in our house to reduce the dust levels...

This has been happening for a few years now...5-8 years. I just never bothered with it, until I realize that I'm always tired.

While it is common knowlege that most human virus and bacteria are not wanted in the body, does the human immune system stay healthy and effective if not invaded by these "bugs". Sometimes in a more mechanical situation, a working machine must be put to use to remain effective. Whats up here?

If a person is hiv+ and does not know about it, especially in the first 3 months of contracting it and if this person donates blood will the blood report show that he is hiv+ or will blood transfusion take place and someone else can contract it ?

I want to know how AIDS is transferred from one person to another (apart from intercourse). Does kissing/smooching transfers AIDS virus?? In how many cases this virus is transferred while in bed with an opposite sex person???

Thanks in advance
