I've been getting light-headed like this just recently. I haven't changed my diet or anything. Sometimes I black out so much I have to sit down on the floor. I'm not pregnant or anything either.

I've got a lot of allergies. Beginning to think my body is quite fragile.

I'm allergic to:
Latex (which has cross reactivity that causes other allergies)
Fruit and some vegetables
Tree pollen
Sulfa
Nickel

And I found out the hard way that I'm allergic to another medication now. Goody.

My husband just recently started complaining of his left testical hurting, and has noticed a little bit of swelling in it as well.. He is 28 years old and is a big guy who tends to wear boxers over briefs.. He has an appointment Monday with a urologist about the problem, but we are concerned that it may be caused by something other then him not wearing supportive underwear. He has this gut feeling that it is going to show testicular cancer. At his age could he really have this? I know we need to wait untill Monday to find out anything, but it really has me worried. Also he has noticed a lump on the side of the testical as well.. Does anyone know of anything it could be or should we expect to hear what we already think it is??

I feel like I am on a pooping schedule. If I eat a big meal, I have to poop about 10 minutes after, like clockwork. Other than that, I dont really have a problem with my bowels and my stomach doesnt hurt a lot or anything. I just poop a lot and when I eat heavy, always 10 minutes after, I have to go. Could this be irritable bowel or something else?

I almost vomit at the thought that people must go through life without a face or any skin on their legs and arms. will there ever be some sort of cure that helps skin grow back to its normal condition. i certainly hope there is.

I went to the doctors a few days ago because I just wanted to know if I had a hemmorhoid or not. Turns out I've been living with an obvious external one for 2 years or so. He knew it was one immediately so he had given me a cream and some suppositories just in case I had an internal one as well. I told him I rarely bleed, and I do mean rarely. Day 1 after using the cream and suppository I was fine and did not bleed. Day 2, some blood came out during my bowel movement. So I'm wondering if its the suppository working on a possible internal one? Should I be worried?

My throat started acting funny yesterday. I feel like there is something stucked there, but I can swallow food just as usual. I just don't feel very comfortable with my throat. I know the best way is to go see a doctor, but I want to hear some suggestions about my situation first, thank you.

I was wondering..I'm only 17 and my doctor told me that I suffer from anxiety due to recent stress problems such as my dad's death, financial problems, school stress, sleep deprivation, and family problems..within the past year..I started feeling weird things and I was wondering if anyone who has/had anxiety has gone through the same things such as:
muscle spasms, feeling like you're gonna die, fear of a fatal illness, bizarre thoughts that don't make sense when I'm tired, weak/numb/tingling hands and legs, feeling dizzy/wobbly, throbbing head like brain is shaking, difficulty concentrating, blurred/foggy vision, tightness in face

To be honest I don't really believe that this is only anxiety, I feel like I have a brain tumor and that scares me more..I dont' even want to go check it out because I'm so scared but I'm going to this summer...I feel like I'm going insane...so I was wondering if anyone felt the same.. Thanks..

it's like if i'm holding a 32 ounce water bottle, i'll feel like a "pull" in my elbow. if i'm typing at work, and extend my arm while moving the mouse, i feel the "pull".
i don't know that i'd say it hurts. it's kinda like...a cold skinny straw is between my elbow joint. as long as i hold that water bottle, i feel it.
i've never had any joint issues. i am 43 years old though. i did break my elbow when i was around...8?
any ideas? i know i could go to the doctor, but i hate to pay the co-pay and find out it's no big deal. ya know?

Is this normal? Say, 140/80 one day, and then the next (same time of day) it's 100/60. Anybody know why this happens? I'm pretty sure it's not from nerves... My pulse (resting) has been switching around for no reason as well... in the 130s and then in the 60s.

Any knowledge or experience to share? I appreciate it.

I've been under a lot of stress and i've been feeling really burnt out. The only thing i find lets me relax and not feel so tense is to take a lukewarm water sea salt bath. Are there any dangers? I don't drink any, I just simply soak in it.
