I have had several times in the morning when I knew my blood pressure was high - and I need to know if it is safe to take it during that time or do I need to wait until my bp meds kick in.

Aside from reading x-rays and ct-scans, what does a radiologist do? Procedures? Diagnostic exams or tests?

In the morning, after cleansing, I put on a feather-light antioxidant serum. After that, I put on my SPF 30 sunscreen. After it has sunk in, I then apply my Bare Escentuals foundation powder SPF 15. Because I am using the serum and mineral powder, will I be dilluting my SPF of 30?? I want to be walking out the door in the morning with an SPF of 30 protecting me.

I have always taken care of my body. Have always gone to the doctor regularly and have had regular pap smears, etc. I rarely get sick, have had the flu once in my life when i was 12. Now I am 24 with 2 kids. I was in a relationship for 6 1/2 years where i was emothionally and mentally abused and i finally left him when he had a child with another female.

I have now been involved with a new person for a while who has taken my kids in as his own. We have talked about marriage and the whole nine. I had recently had a miscarriage and I am now pregnant again, almost 5 months. Just a week ago I found out I had HPV (not HIV). I know I have to break the news to him asap, but how? The doctor said the baby should not be affected, but what affects could this have on my health, and his if he has been infected? Im not certain but i'm sure i must have contracted it from my ex, and it is just showing up. What should i do and what types of treatment are out there if I am really infected?

A good friend of mine has a terrible habit to touch particular points on his face till it bleeds or gets very sore. I don't even know a word for what he is doing... but a point of his nose, middle of his chin, or even forehead always look terrible as he non-stop subconciously day and night touches them.

A friend use this and try to convince me it is not that bad. However when I am around this person, it's affecting me and the air I breathe when this person does this in the room or in the car. Is second hand smoke bad for me? I do not use any drugs but my friend does speed.

Help. Lucy

experiencing bleeding after she had sex. She has no leasions or warts, no discharge no pain w/urination. We observed that she had mucopurulent exudate, we can also cause slight bleeding when a swab is pass through the cervix. She has been sexual active 4 two years w/one parter. He was treated 4 gonorrhea with fluroquinolone ( in Thailand). I was thinking that this girl does have gonorrhea because fluoroquinolone is resistant to N. gonorrhoeae????
What is the diagnosis and the causative agent?

Thank you.

Okay, I am asking this for my mom. Over the last few months she has developed this HORRIBLE cough that just keeps getting worse. She has been to the doctor, who thinks it might be allergies. She is using Advair, and that has helped minimally--although I think it is getting progressively worse. She had requested a scope, but the Dr. didn't think that was necessary. Now, she owns up to having a metallic taste in her mouth for three weeks, and just this week has developed some sort of sores on the back half of her tongue. (I haven't seen them personally.) Any ideas? Before anyone asks, she has never been a smoker, and doesn't drink. (If that matters.)

I have always informed my partners of my condition and practiced abstinence before,during and at least a week after healing.my partners didn't want me to use a comdom.I am still in contact with my exgirlfriends;none of them have shown any trace of the virus.my last relationship lasted for 9yrs and we have been separated for 5yrs now,she has had few physicals;the last one 6wks ago and no trace of the virus.I have been abstinent now for 5yrs because of all this paranoia going on;people are freaking out,this phenomena is out of control destroying the social life of a lot of people.we are going in space and we are unable to find a vaccine ...there something terribly wrong here.I am dating a new person now I will take this poison chemical called valtrex which is also terribly expensive.well now I realise with money you can buy happiness!!too bad if there is some side effects but I guess we have to keep on going.I am allergic to comdoms I can't perform with them;I would prefer abstinence
