I recently went to a new doctor and she matter of factly mentioned that I had a slight heart murmur.I said no body has ever told me that I have a murmur.She said it was nothing and I ask if I should have test,and she said no .She said it wasn't anything to worry about and even she had a murmur.I ask her to tell me what kind of murmur it was and she changed the subject because she new that I was already anxious and now im obsessed with the murmur and worry alot and wonder if I can still do the things I used to do before without having a heart attack.The reason originally I was at the doctors office was that I was hearing my heartbeat in my ears all of the time and she found that my ears were blocked and I needed to see an ent.I was worried that maybe a artery was causing me to hear my heartbeat but she made me think that it was all because of the tubes blockage in my ears.I just wonder if she is waiting for the ent to find a blockage in my arteries or its just really my ears?

Okay, I really dont think it is crabs but here is my story. I'm 16 and i'm still growing more hair on my body ie. pubic hair, at the end of every hair there is a white thing sometimes close to the surface to see, a couple times i've popped out the white thing and the hair comes with it, is this just hair follicles?? and is this normal do all guys have this. I'd ask girls but its more visible on the sack and shaft (thin skinned) than anywhere else.

idk for sure what i have but i'm guessing its a wart, its a dime sized bump on the outside of my vagina and it just appeared a day ago after about two and a half weeks of having sex. its not really itchy, just red and one bump. both me and my partner have never had sex before each other. the bump is just red and it hurts when i touch it, but nothing too excruciating, but i can still feel it. so i was wondering if i have HPV? could i have gotten it from my partner? what could i do to take care of myself and get rid of it? i'm scared and please help

My 14 year old was diagnosed with narcolepsy and she was prescribed Provigil which I have severe concerns about in terms of side effects. I want to talk to someone her age who actually takes it to find out what the effects have been.

When I was growing up there was a "myth" about 14 shots in the stomach if you got rabies.... I heard today on the news a boy had to get a series of shots every week and they were very painful. Does anyone know exactly what they do if you are suspected of being bit by an animal with rabies. What kind of shot is it; why is it so terribly painful; and how many shots do you need?

Hey I'm 26 years old and have had a fair amount of urinary problems over the years.. prostatitis that I know of. Anyways one day I woke up with bad kidney pain and blood in my urine and they did an ultrasound and found what they believe to be kidney stones..uric acid ones they think. That pain has gotten better, but now I'm having pretty bad colicky pain in my bladder that comes and goes and I'm urinating like every 20 minutes with microscopic blood in my urine as well. I'm really worried this might be bladder cancer. The pain used to come on every few days, but now it's here every day..any ideas on what it is? im really worried.. thanks

My brother had a heart bypass surgery very recently. Thanks to God, he is ok. But after the surgery he faced problem in his left leg. As per his doctor the vein isn't taken from his leg. The vein is taken from his chest. His left leg is swelling a bit from day to day. He is trying to walk and do some exercise as per the direction from his phyisiotherapist. He can't stand using his left leg. He is trying to soak it using a solution of epsom salt and warm water. The feeling of the pain sometimes reduces when he change his direction of sitting. I appreciate your concern and would like to thank you in advance for your reply.His friend.

Me and a friend of mine are having a little... disagreement. he thinks that if two men without HIV or AID, have oral sex, and a man swollows another mans sperm, that HIV can be formed. I think he is just wrong that no one knows how HIV was created, things have come about that a man has had sex with a monkey, and that the government might have placed this in africa, but noone truely knows.
