Diseases & Conditions - 6 April 2007

I have read some similiar questions that dealt with women's oily skin, but as a guy, I am not going to wear foundation. I used to have severe acne as a teenager, but now that I'm older, the acne has dropped considerably to more of a mild form. However, my skin is grossly oily and I have not been able to find something that controls it all day. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been contemplating the Proactiv solution, but if something exists cheaper and just as effective, I would much rather go that route. Thanks in advance for all the help!

And what would have led to this condition?

What does your doctor do with his/her stethoscope before listening to your chest? i.e. do he/she warm up it up, explain to you what they are doing?

I'm 26 years old - have never had a high bp reading while going to the doctor - I eat right, get moderate exercise but when I am doing this exercise, my head starts to hurt. When I stop, it stops. But actually, I tend to always have a mild headache which is alleviated with Ibuprofen.

I'm going to see the doc next week but is it possible I could have high blood pressure?

I also have a back molar that is pretty much rotten (can't eat on that side) -- could that be causing headaches, too?

the past few days I have been feeling very ill. I work at a medical facility* and was able to check my blood pressure earlier today. my usualy blood pressure is 100/58 but today it was 140/60, should I be concerned? I've been dizzy and lightheaded all day and have been drinking water as I should and eating what I can.

Any ideas?

**I am not a medical person, I work in a different department**

I'm trying to find some form of excercise that I can get into. I'm not in good shape and hate to do it. I've tried using weights and I feel horrible within a few days of doing it and get symptoms. Yoga is generally good, but I'd like to do more, as it can be boring. I was doing Pilates with a trainer but that got too expensive and I can't do it right on my own. Aerobic exercise is too strenuous. At the moment I'm trying out the Fluidity system. What have you tried? How have you felt?

I've had one I think for 5 days now. It's an external one and is starting to cause lots of discomfort. I've been using petroleum jelly to help but it's not fixing anything? How long before I should start worrying? Is it a threat to my health? Should I just goto pharmacy and get some cream? Please help.

What should you do if someone is having a heart attack, other than calling 911? What can you do to help the person? If they are not conscious, should you perform CPR?
