I am going to go to a doctor, but I want y'all to throw out your opinions. I have been having a pulsating sensation in the right side of my upper abdomen. Right below my rib cage. I looked up that symptom and it said that is a sign of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Did I survive a ruptured aneurysm? If not, what is that. It's like a heartbeat. I actually feel it popping up and down and pulsating. When I press on it, I feel a pulse. When I press down on it and cough at the same time, I feel something kind of ball shaped come up and once I let my cough go the ball shaped thing goes back in. Every time I cough it rises back up. What does this sound like to you? Am I going to live? I'm pretty sure I'm going to the doctor. I was also having severe abdominal cramps but they were not in the same spot as that pulsating sensation. Does this sound like something serious? Tell me what it is if you can.

I took an HIV test last year in October (2006) 6 months after the last time I had sex. I never went abck for the results because they told me they only contact people who are positive and only if I really wanted to know should I call them.

Well I called a month after the test since I never heard from them, but I missed the nurses call back and they never contacted me again. I don't really want to go get tested again since I haven't had sex since before I got tested. Thinking about that clinic gives me the chills.

Can I be sure that I'm negative?

If you were to pop a genital wart what would ooze or seep out? I popped one of these bumps inside my vagina and it bled bright red blood. Are they warts? The doctors I go to tell me they're not, but I dont believe them.

I have bacterial vaginitis and vaginosis that won't go away. It's been almost a year now since I've been plauged with it. Metro Gel worked, but I only too it for 5 days and the infection came back.

My neighbour's wife passed away today. She suffered from Alzheimer's for about 2 years.I don't mean to seem ignorant, I knew it was incurable, but I didn't realise that one could actually die from it? Can anybody tell me how it takes a life, so I can understand better? Serious answers only please, still saddened by the news. Thanks

My mother is in a-fib and normal heart rate monitors
or blood rate monitors do not give an accurate heart
rate. The EKG machine that her doctor uses is able
to but it costs $12,000. Is there anything out there
under $3000 that would give accurate heart rate readings
for an atrial-fibrilation patient?

My daughter has already had chickenpox about a year ago and now there's another outbreak of chickenpox in the school and she has got a few spots around her face and one or two on her body that do look like chickenpox but I was told that you can only get them once. I am really worried as I am pregnant and heard it was dangerous to be in contact with chickenpox.

Ok I used a condom, but the last five minutes I did not. Now I am seeing some symptons of something. My Lymph Node is swollen and I have a rash on the left side of my hip. I work with children everyday in a daycare. I thought, and hope, that it is just rubella. I haven't got my blood test and according to my doctor the rash is herpes something(not the genital one)All she did is look at ii so im a little in doubt of her judgement. Im going for a STDs test next week to check it out. I am so worried please let me kno what u think

I was diagnosed with bronchitis(acute) tuesday, got meds and cough medicine. I had sinusitis two weeks before that, which I guess turned into bronchitis. I've never had it before, but I've had upper respiratory infections, dozens of sinus infections, etc. I've had bronchitis since sometime last week and worked thursday, friday, and saturday night. I was off work this thursday, took off yesterday, but not sure if I should go in today, I haven't improved much, still coughing, feeling achy, and running a slight temp, sometimes woozy?(meds?). I wouldn't worry about going to work, but i'm a waitress. Help!.

I have a 16 month old daughter who I took to the ER a couple of nights ago and discovered she has ear infections in both her ears. They gave her a prescription of amoxicilian, which she had an allergic reaction to. I want to take her back to the doctor and see if there is another antibiotic we can try, but my husband is very much against it. He wants to not treat the ear infections and just let them go away by themselves. He says that antibiotics are what causes staph infections and she doesn't need them. My brothers are both partially deaf in one of their ears because of severe ear infections when they were younger, so I am very skeptical and worried. So my question really is, will ear infections just go away on their own, or does she need to be treated!?
