Hi, over the past years, I have been feeling what I believe are acidic reactions to beverages and food. Sometimes my throat burns and hurts especially after drinking iced tea, pineapple juice, and sodas.

The worst part in my 'acidic attack' is when I feel the 'substances or chemicals' or whatever it is down to my shoulders. The seering pain sometimes lasts 5 minutes.

I haven't been to a doctor yet and I plan to go.

I just want to know which doctor I should check up to also. Thanks thanks

I recently contract herpes. My doc said that because of the location of my blisters, towards the outside of my labia, condoms are not an effective way of protection because they only cover the shaft of the penis. The rest of the genital area is still exposed. So, will I have to wrap myself in saran wrap to have sex again?

This only affects me when I have been sitting or lying down, so when I get up, I find it hard to walk, more likely I am limping very badly and usually one foot is worse than the other.

Most of the pain is round the ankle, and sometimes seams like cramp.

Dont know if my other problem has anything to do with recent problem, and work A few years ago was told that I have a slow heart, which is being monitored, and my job does involve a lot of walking about, usually 7hrs a day,and 5 days out of 7 days

My cat was neutered and after the surgery we noticed a tuble like cord hanging from his incision. After another trip to the vet, some anibiotics,the vet decided to simply cut off this tube thing that was hanging off my cat. He said he had no idea what it was.I found it very bizzare he would so willingly just cut something off my cat's body without even knowing what it was. My dog is a golden retreiver.She has just had a physical about 2 weeks ago and was said to be in good health for her age (10) and nothing was wrong. In the past week we noticed her lymph node glands were swollen and took her back to the vet. He told us that it is probably canine cancer and took some tests to verify it. He said we may have the results thurs,so we called thurs and the lady said they were there but he still had to review them but he would def call friday. Friday passed, still no call. Now today (saturday) we tried calling & they have hung up on us and were very rude and still yet to give us the results

sugars in white grape juice accelerated atherosclerosis. Pomegranate juice slowed it down or reversed it some. Does this mean juices with white grape juice a poor choice as a drink, especially for heart patients ?

This is the first year my sons allergies have really bothered him. He was febrile the other night, it lasted only that day and he was fine the next day. Usually when he is "sick" with a fever it lasts longer than 12-24 hrs. Do you get a fever with your environmental allergies?

I'll check the other answers on Yahoo... but I'm wondering if this happens to anyone else.

After I eat, I produce an insane amount of mucus. I have to blow my nose and clear my throat a lot. To the point where I gag (yuck!!). What condition is this, and what medication can prevent it??

Im getting very painful, severe 'lightning bolt' pains in my legs after working 6 or more hour shifts. The pain is accompanied with bright red spots or splotches on and around my ankles and below my knees. The redness always seems to come in the same pattern, starting at the inside of my ankles and moving in a half moon pattern inward towards my calfs. Then more spots on my outer calf just below the knee. What could this be caused from and what can I do to ease the pain. (short of quiting my job that I need) I need help...PLEASE! The pain is unbareable and brings me to tears daily!
