I have been having problems sleeping, an uneasy feeling accompanied by bouts of chest tightness and increased heart rate when i try to sleep. I went to my GP who said the symptoms were stress related as I had chest pains and a pressure headache which have now ceased. Recently I have developed a build up of mucus that is lining the back of my mouth and throat. I am not wheezing and do not have a cough, there are no apparent areas of swelling on my body. When i physically exert myself i have no pain, I have a slight noticable increase in heart rate, more than before but thats it. I have had an ECG which was fine, is an ECG enough to diagnose heart failure on its own? any ideas about what else it could be?

She has undergone several investigations some of which are the brain CT scan, the EEG, Hb tests and blood pressure monitoring. Her brain tests have not shown anything abnormal while her Hb level drops every time she stops taking blood boosters. Her blood pressure is normal but rises when she is experiencing the body pains. She is overweight and has put herself on an exercise regime that is working for her as she is gradually losing weight. She has calcifications on her skull along the suture lines and suffers constant headaches. She is studying at the University and has work pressure to some extent. What could be causing this ailment?

I've tried lots of medication for it I'm either allergic to them, or I develop an amunity. Right now I'm taking about 3-4 nexium a DAY and here i sit with the pain.
My ears hurt, my back gets tense and soar, Chest pain, and MASSIVE heartburn. Almost every day. (a week of this, then a week of mild comfort off and on)
My doctor says I SHOULD NOT have corrective surgery.. that I should wait. But I've been dealing with this for 7 years now.

I've tried so many "tricks". elevated my bed so I'm slightly sitting up. Avoiding soda's, spicy foods... I had a carrot today, and It gave me intense heartburn.
It hurts SO bad.
If you have had the same thing, can you tell me what works for you? Or If you had the surgery, was it worth it? Should I get a 2nd opinion about the surgery?

My husband had a stomach ultrasound approximately 4 years ago. There were no signs of an abdominal aortic aneursym. His mother and her side of the family have no abdominal or any kind of aneurysms. What are my husband's chances of getting this?

I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy after I had my daughter. I didnt have any drugs during my delivery and she was almost 9 lbs. Could it have been caused by the strain in my facial muscles from pushing so hard? What about stress from sleep deprevation and keeping up with a 4 yr old as well. I'm on a cuople different medications that are for viruses. I have had mouth sores since as far back as I can remember-could the whole thing with my delivery and stress have affected the herpes virus? Anyone know of some home remedies? I have been taking b12 vitamins, my prenatal, womens daily vitamins. My mother who had it many years ago in Mexico has a remedy of carrot juice with yerba buena plant that she swears works but who knows. Unfortunatly, there isnt a whole lot of research on this condition.

it was fine 30 mins ago til i went to take a shower and washed my hair. after i got back from the bathroom, i suddenly feel weird for my vision when try to read. i just tested myself. i looked at the poster on the wall. there are 3 baseballs line up straight on the poster. normally, when i stare at the middle baseball, i can still see the baseball on the left and the one on the right. now, when i stare at the middle baseball, i cant see the one on the right side. the baseball on the right was getting blur and then slowly disappear. but i can still see the left one. its kinda hard to explain and describe. but did anyone has similar problem? i am going to bed now, hopefully i will be better tomorrow. i dont know what happen, it was just fine an hour ago.
