During the day I have HIGH blood pressure when active. Walking around ect.. High as in 140 over 105. During the night hours i am 110 over 70 SUPER LOW blood pressure. I went to a doctor who said he did not want to put me on anything due to the LOW pressure at night. He said the blood pressure pills would kill me.. is this a fact and if it is what can i do during the day to lower this.. Any help is great in this aspect..

I went to the a new barber today. It looked like he used some disinfectant, but it only was sprayed a little on the clippers for a brief period of time. He used new razors to shave my sideburns. He was rather rough with a foil cutter on my neck. So, if nothing penetrated the skin, just roughed it up. could you get anything?
Thanks, and please post serious and mature answers

I am looking for more skin friendly products to use to remove adhesives from insulin pump infusion sets and adhesive medical tapes. I have heard the Avon's Skin-So-Soft works well but I don't like the smell. I'm trying to stay away from anything too chemically.

Was the dangers of DDT overly exaggerated or erroneous?

Thus exposing millions of people to malaria?

BTW...how many of you heard about this? (That dangers of DDT are erroneous)

Details:
I took two sips from a glass (no straw) that someone else took a single sip via a straw from. Is there any likelihood of contracting a disease from doing this. The person is known to be in good health, known them for several years, though I haven't seen them much recently. It could be that I'm being paranoid and have a touch of hypochondria, but it would be nice to put the fears to rest.

After a few events recently, I've been wondering if I could have diabetes. Well, I've always drunk a lot [as in fluids, not alcohol!], which I've been told by my doctor that it's good that I drink a lot but I don't think he ran any diabetes tests. But for a little while now, I've started to feel a bit weak/faint after I've eaten a meal and not had a dessert afterwards. I went out for a meal about an hour ago and I didn't have a desert, I came home about half an hour ago and I started to feel a bit like this - it's difficult to describe the feeling, just kind of weak and may be a little dizzy. Anyway, so I went and got a caramel shortcake from the cupboard and I've started to feel a bit better, but not totally. It only happens occasionally, but it's still something. Are these definite symptoms of diabetes or does it happen to most people quite a lot?
As far as I know, there are no other cases of diabetes in the family. I have a good realtionship with my Mum but it...
