Okay here's the situation. It happened yesturday evening. I was sitting down on my couch, and all of a sudden I got this really heavy and uncomforitable feeling in my chest, I would say it was in my lower chest part. Anyway, I thought nothing of it at first, but I did tell my mother that my chest hurt! So I walked around a little then sat down agin because it was really uncomforitable. I can say it felt like someone was sitting on my chest. So, as the hour went on, I noticed it wasn't easing up and it kind of felt like it was getting worse, and then I felt like I couldn't breathe, but I think I was just starting to panic. Anyway my parents had the ambulance take me to the hospital, and they did an ekg, and blood work, took an x ray, and some other stuff, but everything came back fine. I just am not sure what it can be, I know I know, I have to go to my doc to follow up, I just want some input from others also. So if anyone knows something I don't know, please give me your input!

Hi
I have just found out that my father's (he wasn't around when I grew up) sister died from breast cancer and that his mother has also battled with it twice. Does this increase my risk of getting breast cancer or does it not matter as they are paternal relatives?

I've noticed that for the past 2 days my equilibrium seems off. I feel like I can't walk straight and I can feel myself leaning more towards the right. I also noticed that I sort of get my feet crossed lately when I'm walking too. I'm on Zoloft - is this a side effect? I was also bitten by a mosquito - is this a West Nile symptom? Any guidance would be appreciated. I am going to see my doctor on the 17th of September and I'm wondering if these symptoms could be put off until then or is this something more serious. I'm 30 years old, female, normal height/weight, no major surgeries or health issues. Thanks.

I think that as long as you pass the test to get the job, you should not have to take a random drug test unless you get hurt on the job or something. Who are they to tell me I can't enjoy a joint on my day off, its my time, they should not be able to tell me I can't.

Here is another why they should be illegal. Lets say you are totally clean and don't do drugs, then you are issued a random test that you have to take that day, but wait, you just remembered you had 4 popiseed bagles on your brake, now you are going to fail because it will show up positive for the test, now you lose your job, over something that you ate, thats f u c k e d up.

My father-in-law recently suffered a stroke. Two days prior, he was working in the hold of his boat working on the engine, along with two other people. The hold is enclosed and the engine was running. Some of them started having a headache. My father-in-law shooed them out and he finished up in a few more minutes. For the next couple of days he complained of his stomach not feeling right. Then as he was walking up some steps, he fell and became unconscious for just a minute. Ambulance came. He was disoriented and threw up. Still in hospital but improving.

I'll add that he does take several high blood pressure medications, but has no history of strokes. (Blood pressure was high when ambulance came.) I know that we may never know, because it could have all been blood pressure related, but is/are there any definitive studies linking carbon monoxide poisoning and strokes?

The symptoms are for a woman 36 years old, healthy, a smoker, slightly overweight, wears reading glasses..
1-Headache for 4 days,flactuating in strength, decreases at night time, moves from one region of the head to the other(no imbalance, no blurry vision)
2-Inflamation (appearance of a small mass) in the front of the neck, under the jawline, on the left, whioch accompoanied the headache on the1st day.It dissapeared next day.
2-Inflamation (another small mass) at the back of the head which appeared on the 3rd day of the headache and is still there(2days now)
Any loud voice or rapid movement (especialy movement of the head) causes the headache to increase dramaticaly.
Blood plreasure was measured, turned out to be normal (110/80) . Asperin and similar drugs( Panadol, proffin and Augementin) did not help.

What could be the reason of such symptoms? What speciality?(glands? ear nose and throat? optician? or what?) Is there a site online which can help me diagnose the case?
