So for the past couple years this happens every so often but when it does it seems to happen all day long and then stop for a couple weeks. Ill just be doing normal activities (driving watching t.v. etc...) and i will take a breath and it is like my heart skips a beat and then it pounds real hard then is normal. when it happens my chest gets tight and i cant breathe but when it happens it happens within a second. anything to be worried about?

My mother-in-law died of breast cancer.
Can my daughter be at risk through the paternal genes as well as maternal?

Hi my mum had a mamogram 2 weeks ago and has been asked to go to the hospital tomorrow. The letter states she should bring someone with her. Does that mean she has cancer? Will they do a biopsy on the lump before confirming? What happens? Im really worried.

I need your opinion- I am very new to diabetes. I am 21 weeks pregnant and just found out I am diabetic. They don't believe it is gestational. I am 22 yrs old, 4'11 90lbs. I have autoimmune hepatitis diagnosed when I was 16. (my immune system attacks my liver) Along with the diabetes I found out I have a very under active thyroid. All of these things that are wrong with me are like the complete opposite of my body type. An underactive thyroid would cause you to gain weight right? Type 2 diabetes usually occurs in heavier people right? I had no symptoms of ANYTHING. My docs are still pretty baffled so I don't get good answers from them- do you guys think any of this could be related to the other? I was also wondering how an insulin pump works? My levels are CRAZY- my fasting level is sometimes over 300 so the docs mentioned if it doesn't get under control we may need to use a pump. I already take 5 shots a day (Humalog and Humalin) so how would a pump be different? I AM SO CONFUSED!!

My friend recently contracted an STD (Chlamydia) from her boyfriend. Of course he flipped the script and it's blaming her for it. He said that he went to the doctor yesterday and was tested, and it came back negative. He also told her that his doctor said that she probably had the stuff for the past 10 months. Mind you they've been having sex the entire time, but he doesn't have it??? I told her that this is absurd; I truly believe that he had it. Then he gave it to her, and once he found out, he took care of it. I know that she's soooo in love with him, and at this point is willing to forgive him. The only problem is that I strongly feel he's going to do this again. He travels a lot, and he's living the fast life. My friend has (2) little girls that need their mother; what if she catch something worst the next time? then what happens?? I wish I could find tangible proof that shows her that he's lying about not having the STD. Help! thanks! nini :-( FYI....He's an attorney.

Yesterday I was at Sonic and I had gotten my daughter a grape slush and it was nowhere near to being filled up. When the guy came to bring the food to the take out stall, he said he would be back to give me the credit card receipt, I asked him to please fill the drink up to the top. He said sure no problem. I immediately regretted this. Ever since last night I have been worried that he may have spit in the drink (because I asked him to put more in the glass). This was the drink that I gave my daughter. This guy seemed really nice, but he could have just been pretending of course. I am just terrified of what diseases could have been in the glass if he really did spit in it. Could you get AIDS from someone's spit? This is all I can think about now. I am so worried that my daughter will have AIDS now or something else. I am never going to send anything back again. Do you guys think I am just freaking out or do you think people really spit in drinks these days? I am in Ohio.

This week, I think I've been having palpitations (i.e. I feel like I hear my heart/I feel my heart like being pinched for a split-second/I "feel" my heart).

Is it palpitation? I'm scared... I'm just 18 years old, female, I've had an ECG before but it simply indicated sinus arrhythmia... I am quite healthy. I brisk walk 3 days every week and I walk a lot. I also eat healthy and do not smoke or drink.

Has anyone had this before? How do I know if it's serious? Please help. Thanks.

I have an old wall A/C in my apartment...this year I've gotten a lot of bronchitis. It always seems like I get sick after sitting home in front of the air conditioner on a hot weekend.

I'm a diabetic, Type 1 and I've had it for 34 years. I'm 36. I take two shots a day. I have never really been on a plan to lose weight. I am 165 pounds and 4ft 11 but I'm solid as a rock. I use to walk all the time before I got my car which kept me maintaining my weight but now it seems I'm doing nothing but gaining. Any ideas? I can't afford a gym right now. Is there a Diabetic Plan out there that I can use?
