Or those finger pricks,exactly HOW MUCH can a doctor figure out about you?
For example,whether your pregnant,a virgin,have HIV's,so on & so forth?

I am very dizzy (usually all day), I get chills and a sensation of heat go all through my body and then I feel like my heart starts to raise up. My palms get sweaty, I honestly feel like I have no control over whats going on and it usually freaks me out and I feel like Im going to die or something. I have been to the hospital 2 times and to a couple doctors. I just dont know what to do anymore. I would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks!

how do you use it? you know, the acne wash? do you still have to use your daily soap first then rinse then use neutrogena? or skip the daily soap and just use neutrogena all over your body?

thanx!

Me: 42, nonsmoker, overweight but otherwise good health. Currently on HCT & Lisinopril for BP control.

A year ago, I had episodes of what could best be described as a "cardiac arrhythmia", where my normal heart rate seemed to accelerate briefly to maybe 6-8x normal rate, lasting ~2 seconds, then returning to normal. Maybe 20-30 events in 12ish hr period, tapering in intensity over time. Minimal stress seemed to trigger event.

Described symptoms to PCP, he ordered treadmill stress test & heart monitor for a month. Neither caught it.

Two weeks ago, arrhythmia returned, same MO, gone next day, hasn't come back. Only correlate I can figure is a burrito I ate about four hours earlier, packed w/ many different things. I'm guessing something in that burrito triggered the event.

I'm going to the doc in a few days for my AP anyway, but I thought I'd ask the forum if there is known evidence of certain foods triggering arrhythmia, and what those foods might be.

Thanks!

I noticied this about six years ago and last knight i finally picked at it and broke the skin over the color. now the skin on top of the area is gone and it appears to be some what of a scab in color, but it is not. when i touch it i get a tingly sensation run down to my foot, what is this?!?

My brother in law , 6 years ago had about 70% kidney function left. Now one is shut down and the other is at 40% . He had surgery this morning to help stop further shut down. No guarantees. He needs a transplant, however and unfortunately the family is reluctant to donate because his problem was casued from drinking , and we know that he will not stop. The family has basically said "why give one up when he is going to ruin that one too" Kind of harsh and said, but I can see the point. My question is how long can someone go on with this type of damage without having a transplant?

My grandma is 85 years old. She has a slight heart problem and she is saying she cannot breath very well. Is there any type of an inhaler we can get for her that doesn't require a prescription? She is taking tylenol, folic acid and iron.

I dont understand why this happens to me occasionally - its so irritating and painful and I wear lipgloss all the time so its not like my lips are dry - does anyone have any sure fire ways to heal this quickly? It seems like when I use vaseline or anything it makes it worse.
