I have very small blood vessels. Would this be the only cause of peripheral vascular disease or would they contribute to it to a greater or lesser extent ?

He gets swollen lumps about the size of a golf ball sometimes. what type of allergy do you think this could be? They are random and sometimes 1 or two a day and then they fade away. Usually on the back of his legs and on his forearms. He is 13 years old. I took him to the emerg room last month was told to use Benydryll. But that only helps temporarily. We dont have med coverage right now so it gets pretty expensive to go to the hosp every time they occur, please help. Any advise or opinion will help.

I had a 3 hour glucose tolerance test done because I have many of the symptoms of diabetes. The results, however, showed hypoglycemia. I had a fasting level of 74 but at one hour I had dropped to 47. At two hours it was 51 and at 3 it was 58. My PCP thought that since my blood sugar was still so low after 3 hours that I might have an insulinoma. He said that he really wasn't sure what to do so he referred me to an endocrinologist. What should I expect the endocrinologist to want to do? Also, when my blood sugar was at 47, I still did not feel as bad as I have on several occasions at work. (On one occasion, I basically felt like I was drunk and was having extreme difficulty functioning. My coworkers thought that I looked like I was about to pass out.) How low does one usually have to get to be at risk for serious complications such as loss of consciousness or seizure?

I have been experiencing recurring pain in my lower jaw that turns into pain in my throat. I went to my ENT who scheduled a Transnasal Fiberoptic Layrngoscopy. I thought he would test for strep or tonsilitis, but he didn't. Now I'm really freaking out here thinking I may have cancer. Is it normal for a Dr. to do this kind of test first? Should I be as worried as I am? I go for the test on Oct. 5. I have no one in my family I can burden with this until I get the results so thank you in advance for any advice you may give me.

My wife had a thyroidectomy and takes synthroid, calcium, and another supplement. Now she has low iron. She's been checked and doen NOT have internal bleeding. She's taking proferrin, but the doctor says her iron is still low. She recommends doubling the proferrin. Is this the best course, or is there another cause for the low iron? She had a cancerous tumor removed from her leg 8 years ago, but all checkups since then have been clear. Any ideas?

I told my boyfriend before we had sex that I have genital herpes and he seems to think that if we just have anal sex that he will not get it. I have done alot of research and I have tryed to tell him that he is not 100% safe just by us doing that. Am I wrong? I believe he can still catch it.
