well been to a doctor (long story been to many), and she said that i have swollen glands and is checking for thyroid problems in some tests. but you know that place where you glands are underneath your jaw? and the pressure points there that can make you faint?
well how come i can hear A my heart beat in there when i press, and B i hear this buzzing, pumping sound in the back of my neck.
all this is connected to the trapt nerve feeling going from my neck into the left side of my head. it feels like a pressure thats going to explode.
i had a clear blood test - blah blah. but what could this be? maybe i have a blood clot in the brain?
and if i do am i snookered?
i am young and hoping i have a chance.
when i pressed there i started seeing a black tunnel. thats not normal right?
i have such a pressure on my larynx, and i find it hard to speak without it sounded slighty hoarse. it feels like my voice box is being pushed.
my headache on the left side goes to my eye. what is this?

On and off pain in lower left side, seems to get worse after bowel movement. Pain radiates down left thigh and left buttox. Have had a full hystorectomy ten years ago. No cancer, fibrod on uterus and endometriosis on ovaries. No blood or black stools present. Had a colonoscopy 3 years ago nothing was found. Also had a virtual colonoscopy 3 years ago which was inconclusive. This has been going on for about 6 months. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
S

I'm 24 and this is embarrassing, but I can't drink. It doesn't matter how much I drink or what I drink (well, alcohol of course), I feel sick within an hour and have a horrible hangover the next day. I've tried everything including replacing fluids and electrolytes before bed (Gatorade), taking ibuprofen before bed (I know, not recommended), various OTC hangover remedies but nothing works. Now, I know you might think this is a good thing but it would be nice to have a beer with my friends or a glass of wine with a date and not feel like I'm going to die - I'm not looking to get drunk.

Does anybody know if it's possible to have some sort of enzyme deficiency where you can't digest alcohol? Anybody else have this problem? Suggestions?

Isn't that even more important than just lowering it a few points?

I have had a toe nail infection on 3 of my toes for around 4 years, i have tried every type of cream and nail treatment. The nails have this white stuff in them and it goes into theskin behind it. The podiatrist said nothing works aside from tea tree oil, but that hasn't fixed it either, he also metioned a drug but I have other health problems and he said only do it as a last resort and its not causing any problem, but it looks yuck and i have to keep cutting them down, my big toe is only half a nail and all chalky white stuff on the skin, hard to get off. Any advise?

I am 25, and was diagnosed with a heart murmur about a year ago. When I get stressed or drink too much caffeine, it hurts when it skips a beat (I have been trying to cut back on both). My family has a history of high blood pressure and heart disease.
My question is, will a heart murmur develop into a worse condition later in life? Will I be more prone to any heart disease or heart attacks when I am older?
