I found out today after having my Pap test done a couple of weeks ago that I have HPV. I know that it is an STD. I also know that it could lead to cervical cancer. I need to get a colposcopy done now and I'm a little scared...well very scared. Does this procedure hurt? Also, does HPV cause cancer in a lot of cases? Any help is much appreciated

My doc said my cholesterol was a little high at 150. She said it is not that bad, but because of high blood pressure and my father dying at 63 after two cardiac surgeries, she would like to put me on a cholesterol lowering drug as a precaution. Is this something anyone else has been advised to do?

The results of a renal ultrasound showed something that was probably normal but could be a tumor. A cat scan was ordered to determine for sure if a tumor is present. If it is a tumor, what treatment would come next?

I'm a b + blood type. My ancestors are Russian and Siberian nomadic herdspeople similar too indians and inuits. I seem to be healthier and stronger and with more stamina than most females. I've heard tell b-types are resistant to TB, and possibly the hiv virus. Is this true to any extent?

Why can't people give(whole) blood more often then every 56 days- is it solely because of iron levels? That's easy to get up(just taking supplements) so I'm wondering if there's another reason.

I have been told to cut down on drinking caffiene (or even to eliminate it from my diet).

What I would like to know:

Has anyone else had this problem, or knows of someone who has, and what did you or they do to eliminate it?

How much caffiene does decaffinated coffee have?

Is there a website that can tell us how much caffiene is in the beverages that we drink?

What are the serious consequences from PVCs?

Thank you,

I've had a cough now for about 6 months. I feel fine with it. I exercise with it, but it wont go away. My Doctor has said he thinks it's reflux, but the pills (pariet) don't seem to be doing much. When he tells me that I've got it and asks do I smoke (no), drink (no) do I eat fatty foods? (no) he doesn't seem concerned that I'm not a prime candidate for this. I exercise a lot and can exercise fine, no problems. After the session if it's been long or hard I will cough a bit for the next 10-60mins. It's just starting to annoy me and I'm not convinced the doctor is on the right path??

My allergies have been so bad lately. My nose gets clogged up and runs horribly. This happens especially after I get out of the shower for some reason. It happens other times though too. I can drive around with the top down fine, but when im sitting watching tv my nose goes nuts. I take a Claritin when I can, and sometimes use nostril spray. Any other suggestions/recommendations? Thanks!
