I got real bad chest pains yesterday on the left side of my chest.. It started as I was driving home from work and progressed. I could barely breathe and was starting to hyperventilate. Once I got home I layed on my bed, but every which way i turned, it hurt even worse..I have had chest pains in the past but my doctor said it was "gurt" , "heatburn", which i was prescribed Prevacid for. Well i got chest pains about 1 1/2 months ago and i went to the hospital, they took x-rays, ekg, blood... and everything came out normal, and then the doctor told me to take protonix instead of prevacid, Which i have been. These chest pains also happened about 4months ago, which woke me up from my sleep, but lasted only about 15minutes. This pain that i am having is NO where near Heartburn !!!! So what exactly causes these Sharp Chest pains??? and What can me the Answer to this??

I have daily vaginal discharge that is white or cloudy. Sometimes its clear. Sometimes its clumpy, other time its more like a thin layer of mucus. It doesn't really smell. I have had this problem for over a year. I am a virgin, and no one has ever been in contact with my vagina. Also, my period is very irregular. I get it once every couple of months. What is wrong with me?

When I was ten years old, my younger brother Pete contracted chronic athlete´s foot.

Athlete’s foot and nail fungus cause discomfort to millions of people worldwide each year. Yet it is a treatable disease that—in time—is beatable. Moist skin between your toes is an ideal place for the fungus to grow. The skin many become itchy and red. And then the infection can spread to the toenails causing an unpleasant odor. The fungus can also spread to the airpits, anus, genitals, eyes and liver, and to household pets.

It is time that we realised that this infection which thrives in most environments including toilet seats, has caused harm worth untold billions to shoes and socks, can be cured with sufficient tubes of anti fungal cream and better foot hygiene.

What can we do to focus & mobilize our governments to make athlete´s foot and toe fungus can be a fear of the past?

that's a high statistic so you either know someone (including yourself) or have been around someone with it, but what do you really think about the disease? also, how do you feel about dating someone with it...especially if you don't have it yourself? and if you love someone, do you think it's worth the risk?

I count my carbs on a sliding scale. I can go to bed at 80 and sometimes i wake up over 300. And if i give myself insulin it still seems to go up. I don't eat bad. Before i go to bed i may have a yogurt, or something lite. I know i can rebound with fruits and ice cream so i stay away from that. Any suggestions as to why my blood sugars are being soo high?

I in the past few months began having painful chest pains for a moments time.Once while at school i had a deep pushing pain with a pain in my left arm(never occured to me it might be heart problem)then on July 4 about two months later it happened again as i was sitting downwatching T.V.I had been to the ER 4 times in less than a month and at the time of this pain i was wearing a holter monitor(heart monitor).
I had 3-4 EKG/ECK done to me and all stated that it was Normal.
And my doctor and emergency room doctors all said my EKGs were normal.

Is it normal or are the doctor lieing?or is just anxiety,a little depression,and me being anemic causing these frequent pains?
