Are these related. I had a boil, then in suspicion, took antibiotics. And after taking the entire dose of 32 tablets, a week later i have this feeling in my chest or heart.

My Father-in-law was just diagnosed with a benign tumor in his Pituitary Gland.
We're not sure of the size. He has to have another MRI done of the Pituitary Gland to see exactly how big it is.
My Father-in-law has been having trouble with his balance when he walks, He always looks like he's staggering and going to fall. That was the reason for taking him to a Neurologist.

The bigger problem we're having is my Father-in-law is refusing to have it removed. He said he's 71 yrs old and he might out live it. He's just absolutely refusing.

The Neurologist is having more tests done but he's thinking that the tumor is growing out around the dome of the Pituitary Gland, which will then start to affect his Optical nerve.

Any thoughts on how to encourage him to have it removed , if it comes to this?
And is it really medically necessary to have it removed?

My Father-in-law is complaining because he is insisting that he is not having any trouble with his eye sight

The reason for this question is that I've switched from Quest to LabCorp for bloodtests. Quest measures Lp(a) [lipoprotein (a) ] in nmol/L while LabCorp measures it in mg/dL. Since I don't know how to convert from one to the other, I don't know how to compare my results. Any help on this is appreciated.

Gay: How Do You KNow If You Have HIV?

I am a 22 year old gay male. I've been with 9 different guys in like 7 years, since I was 15. Out of those 9, I've bottomed three times and topped 4 other times. I have always used condoms, ALWAYS! I've never taken an HIV test cause I can't afford it and I am not out of the closet. How would I know if I have HIV or not?

I have not had gay sex in more than about 3 weeks and it was just kissing and oral.

Can you pick up HVI from just kissing and or oral? As I said, when doing anal, I am always making sure other guy has no cuts around his butt or his penis and always using condoms.

I have had the growth on my lower back for twelve years now. I am so super duper scared that if or when I get it removed, I might get terrible results, and much worse, I might die.

Lately, I have been having these episodes where my pulse gets much faster. It does not usually get above a hundered but for me eighty is about normal. It seems to happen a lot at night but also happens during the day. It usually only lasts for a few minutes. I didn't think anything of it at first but now it continues to happen. Does anyone think this could be arrhythmia or something else?

Hi, I have developed an allergic rash and would really really like to know what I am allergic to. Could it be laundry soap? Because my hands turned red and swollen at night after I touched it, but I have used this same brand of laundry soap in the past and it has not produced this effect. Please help...

It says taking Naproxen can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. This risk will increase the longer you use an NSAID.

My doctor gave me this to take and im only 17.Will it be bad it i take it every month for my menstrual cramps.The stomach bleeding part worries me because i plan on using this for a long time or shouldn't i?

I came down with a terrible case of strep throat on 6/23. I went to the doctor on 6/25 and got a shot of penicillin and then 5 days of amoxicilin. I took all of the amoxicilin and was feeling almost 100% better by 6/30. However, this morning I woke up with a headache and a sore throat again.

Do I need to go back to the doctor? I can't afford to miss any more work...

for STDs or an STD to show up after unprotected sex. I know HIV can take months to detect, but what about other STDs. Also, which ones are treatable and are there any other permanent ones besides warts, herpes and aids?

in this day & age i find it rather disturbing that a factory can mix a load of poison chemicals together & add them to tabbaco leaf then sell them to the public who will inhale this poisen into their lungs.

ive been a smoker for 10 yrs, iam in the process of quiting.
two days without a ciggie & iam already feeling the benefits of a non smoker (food tastes great, feeling 100% fitter,
no coughing, teeth getting whiter & breath smelling fresh....my question is, do you think the days of smoking will be a thing of the past in years to come
