At certain times, my cheeks, neck, and chest get really blotchy and really bright red. at times it can be very inconvenient and embarassing. It seems to happen most when I get hot, nervous, or if something bothers my skin, but none of those things should cause me to turn as red and blotchy as I do. It looks really bad, and I'm really self conscious about it. Any idea what this could be from?

Well i should start by saying i was diagnosed with asthma when i was preggo 6 yrs ago but the only probs I ever had was broncitus.

well tonight my neighbors are burning some stuff and now my chest feels heavy. i can't lay down or i feel like I can't breath at all. I am not coughing but I am having to work extra hard to breath.

if it is what should I do? I don't have any of my inhalors since i haven't had a problem in a very long time.

I sweat almost constantly from the chest up, to the point where my face will start to drip sweat in just a minute after I stop fanning myself. The skin on my neck and chest has started to burn, like from acid, from the sweat. There is nothing I can do to stop the sweating; light, loose-fitting clothes don't help, even tank tops that leave the skin uncovered don't help. There's no rash, and it only hurts when I sweat (which is 22 hours a day - it feels better during and just a while after I take a very cold shower.

Help?

my mom's brother and sister have parkinson's disease.
sometimes i get these episodes that last 1-3 weeks where my eyelids sometimes tremble for a few seconds several times a day,
could this be a sign that i'll have parkinson's in the future? i'm only 23 right now, but i'm worried that these small signs may mean future problems. thanks

I'm 13 years old and I was just wondering like...I mean like on one of my breasts I have a big lump that I can feel if I push down a bit and it's not on the other one...what should I do? I mean, it scares me. I don't have a family history of breast cancer though. I mean is it just something that's there because my breasts are still growing or what? And I'm almost scared to talk to my mom about it cuz I don't want to freak her out cuz A. we don't really have the money right now I don't think to be able to do anything if it WAS cancer and B. her mom died of breast cancer (but they weren't blood related cuz my mom was adopted).

I mean I'm just really scared and I don't exactly know what my own question even is right now but can somebody tell me what it might be?

A family member of mine is diabetic. I am not an expert on the type of a diet diabetics should keep to maintain their health, but I do know that sugar and carbs are to be limited. I was wondering, for a type 2 diabetic, how much sugar and carbs is considered "ok" to consume daily without getting complications from doing so? I am concerned about this family member because I often see her chew "sugarless" gum which has sugar additives, and eat things like regular cookies, jam, and add sugar to tea, etc. I'm not sure how much sugar and carbs she should be limiting herself to, but her current diet seems to be way off and I'm worried for her health. When I confronted her about eating the cookies, she told me that she ate a couple and that there can't possibly be a relevant amount of sugar in a few cookies. When it comes to "sugarless" gum, she says that because it says sugarless, then she can eat it - but don't sugar additives also affect diabetes? I would appreciate some advice.

A family member of mine compains about high blood pressure but doesn't seem to understand the correlation between salt intake and an increase in blood pressure. Almost every day she consumes about a teaspoon of salt but doesn't see this as a problem. Isn't a teaspoon of salt enough to increase blood pressure? and for someone like her, who likes salty foods, what is the maximum amount of salt, if any, that can be consumed daily without increasing blood pressure?

my daughter was born with a hypoplastic aortic arch, a coarctation of the aorta and a small hole in her heart....i did not know of her condition until after birth. i had a very normal pregnancy. during ultrasounds i felt like the technician always looked at her heart more than everything else....one time i had to have a repeat ultrasound because they "couldnt get a good look at the heart" ??? doctors have assured me that this was not a problem they could have diagnosed or seen without having a fetal echocardiagram. i never had any special ultrasounds--just the regular one in the drs office. im just wondering if anyone else had this happen? or if there is an ultrasound tech out there that can give me some more info about if i could have known about this before my daughter born. her defects were so bad that when her "PDA" started to close she went into heart failure and shock and she almost didnt make it.

I have had an allergic reaction for nearly 2 months now. I dont go to the allergist for another week, however the reaction is on random places on my face and swells up my eye brows, cheecks, eyes and the bridge of my nose. The reaction comes on one spot and then returns on another. Anyone ever had this happen?? And no it is not acne. Also, when is a good time or bad time, or RIGHT time to take epipen or call doctor?
