I mean it's really shocking to read, but I heard doctors saying that.
Do you know why??

Can I play myself but not come?? does it have a consequence in my hair??
Even though all these stuff, I don't feel guilty.

About a month ago I ate out at an expensive chinese place. After quite a large meal, I threw up a little. Since then, my appetite has been diminishing. More recently, due to anxiety related to college admissions and grades, my appetite had worsened. I could barely look at food and would feel nauseated if i tried to eat food. Also, since i wasnt really eating anything there wasnt much of a a bowel movement and i use to feel constipated. To then add to all the uneasiness, I started getting (for the past 5 days) these chest pains (as if someone was pressing down on my chest). These pains move to the back and then the stomach and then back again to my chest. I get instant reliefe from the pains when i burp but then the pains just come back soon after. I have lost a lot of weight- around 5 Kg. Nowadays, as soon as i get up i feel nauseated and throw up either bile, or my breakfast. After that, i suffer from the very uncomfortable chest pains thru the day. i only get complete reliefe ..

My lil sis aged 22 constantly complain of headache.
she gets sick easily over influenza, coughing, and fever.
She used to be chubby but has lost weight over past three years (she started vegetarian 3 years ago, so maybe that doesn't include the symptoms--but she i think she looked ideal now).
she goes for check-up but the doc always says she's fine.
What do you think?
and what specialist should I take her to?

Hey, I have any itchy mole under my chin and on my right ear. Sometimes I itch the right ear mole so much that it sometimes it bleeds, and for the other mole when i shave my chin, it starts to nick parts of the mole and it bleeds and hurts really badly. Would my insurance cover it, and would the family doctor do this procedure? I have Keystone Mercy, and I'm going to the dermatologist next month. Thanks

I was told that if someone had cancer that wasn't diagnosed yet but had a surgery for something unrelated that the cancer would spread faster because it was exposed to the air.
Is this true?

It is tiny, but it looks and feels quite odd. It has two colors (dark brown and light brown) and I did have A LOT of sun exposure as a child without using SPF protection.

I've been doing a lot of research and reading online about skin cancer and melanoma specifically, and so far from pictures I've seen, it looks more like melanoma than basal cell or squamous cell. But I've also read that for it to be melanoma, it should be at least the size of a pencil eraser, which mine isn't (mine's much smaller). Should I be concerned and will the doctor take me seriously if I ask him to check it out, or because of it's size do you think this is an ordinary mole?

For about the past week and a half it seems like my heart is beating really fast. There are times of the day when it is really evident and then other times where I can only tell if I think about it.
It is worse at night right when I lie down to go to sleep.
I am pretty sure I don't intake too much caffiene because I don't drink coffee or soda.
I am only 20 and unsure what this is. I am also taking medication for hypothyroidism. Any ideas?

Every time I eat, I drink after each bite and feel I have to "swallow" hard to get it to go down. The drink helps this. If I eat too much or fast, sometimes it doesnt go down and I can't swallow and "throw it up" because I cannot swallow. After a while it goes back to normal. Do I have an eating disorder? Help!
