Diseases & Conditions - 2 November 2007

Lately I've been running out of breath easily and sometimes it seems I cant breathe without thinking to, and when that happens it gets hard to breathe right cuz it feels i'm getting too little air.I'm really worried cuz it gets scary when it gets hard to breathe- and these times it happens is almost out of nowhere like when I'm doing some work in class or trying to go to sleep.
I dont have asthma and I play sports.
I also kind of getting a little pain in my chest for a few seconds, goes away and sometimes comes back again.
help?

PLEASE PEOPLE! Doctors, anybody! I really am not fat, but my stomach is ALWAYS bloated! It looks totally unproportioned with the rest of my body. It isn't fat either, it is firm and sticks out. I have to suck it in ALL THE TIME. It sticks out from the VERY top of my stomach to VERY LOW on my stomach. Please I don't know wha to do! There is no pain at all, and it is bloated all the dang time. I haven't had a flat tummy day in like 4 years. But now I am 15 and I am really noticing it. Please is there a disease I might have? I eat very healthy. Been taking diurex and beano lately its not working at all. Please tell me what might be wrong!! Thanks SO much!

I recently posted a question about the flu shot and said I've never had the flu nor do I get fevers, and now my boyfriend is saying that I jinxed myself and will get the flu. Do you agree? I don't. Here, I'm not afraid:

I have never had the flu, I will never have the flu, and my temperature never goes above 99.4, EVER.

Going to be long so please if you don't have patience to read it all skip it. It will take about 3 posts. I will let you know when it is done.

Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.


A couple weeks ago as service was ending I picked up my Bible and put it in its case. Immediately in my spirit I heard “Don’t sheath your sword”. I instantly knew what the spirit was saying to me. The Bible is our sword. It is our weapon against satan and the world. If we leave it in its sheath and do not wield it, do not practice with it, then when satan attacks we will be defenseless. The Bible tells us in Eph 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”.

I'm constantly thirsty, my mouth is always dry, I have to go to the bathroom a lot, I've lost weight, even though I eat more than I usually do. It doesn't seem like I'm any thirstier than I used to be, but I'm not really sure. I know that my hunnger has increased though. I'm always looking for something to eat, and will eat almost anything to ease my 'hunger.' I always have a bad attitude towards everyone, and I'm always yelling.
I think it'd be awkward to tell my mom I should be tested before jumping to conclusions.
What do you think?

My husband went to the doctor today and his blood pressure was 280 over 175. How dangerous is that? He said the doc wanted him to go to the hospital, but he refused. So he got 2 prescriptions instead... Seems to me that's pretty high... When I was pregnant, my blood pressure shot up to 165 over 100 and my doc was VERY concerned.

I have nothing in the house that is stimulating enough to do. I am getting depressed. Does anyone have suggestions of where I can go in the day to be stimulated mentally. I am feeling desperate. I walk very slow with a cane and I need to use a wheel chair if I have to go long distances. I have a walker but I can't go too far with it. I am 48 years old female. Thanks for any advice.

Was told he had staph,culture results showed today that he now has MRSA.I had reoccuring boils on my leg about 2 months ago which have since healed and completely gone away but I think I should have gone then and gotten tested.Should I go now? How will they test me for it if I have no open wounds at the moment?

i get bad allergies at times...i usally have to take sudafed and/or allegra, and i always have to use allergy eye drops. well my left eye is just driving me crazy...it's not red or doesn't itch today (except for this morning...here i always wake up red-eyed), but in the inner most corner, the part that's pinkish, it has been been a little bothersome. every now and then, if i strain my eye, it feels kinda sharp. i can't recall poking my eye but i'm wondering if a feather from my feather pillow poked it. regardless, what can i do about it? my sight is fine and it's not an ongoing pain, and the sharpness happens only sometimes when i intentionally strain my eyes. also, can't get to the doc right now...so any suggestions?? thanks in advance!

My mother in law is in hospice care, but she is still up and about, not totally bed ridden, mind is still keen. How come her doctor put her under this care if she has no cancer or terminally ill disease. All she has is stage 4 copd. That's it.

The doctor said I either have a lipoma or a dermoid on my brain. He thinks it's a lipoma. I have a small, fatty tumor sitting on my pituitary gland. What's the difference between the two? Will diet and exercise help the tumor fron getting bigger? What will diet and exercise do? What can I do for the tumor to help it?

My mother in law is in her 70's & smoked since age 19. She now is in stage 4 copd & we have her under hospice care. Now she stays in her house & is still mobile, however, she has nurses that come once a week & a home health aid that comes twice a week. My ma in law doesn't like to go anywhere & she doesn't want to get baths. She puts the nurse off all the time. So you have to know that this house smells like old lady. She keeps me & my hubby on the go, but we at least get breaks from her. Today I came in the house & smelled smoke (she was required to quit after getting oxygen) but she still sneaks the smokes. We just got thru installing a $8,000 a/c system but ma in law still smokes anyways.
Why would her doctor place her under hospice care? How can I have more patience. I am not mean, I just get frustrated sometimes with her. She has started asking me where I am going, how long, etc. and I am not even her kid. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

My boyfriend has been sick for a couple weeks.His doctor told him this Wednesday that he could get out and do stuff finally...well can I still get it even though he isnt contagious? His doctor said no kissing just to be safe. But MY doctor said that I couldnt get it because my body is young and I can fight it off. Well my boyfriends only 16 and Im 15, so there isnt that much of an age different,but he still got sick...

I just received a flu shot yesterday afternoon. I worked out after getting the shot, then I started getting a sore throat yesterday night. I woke up this morning with a raging sore throat, headache, and sinus pressure. I'm also running a very slight temp. I also have some body aches but they may be from working out. I am not allergic to egg products, that I know of. I got a flu shot last year without incident. I may be sick from other factors, as I do work with the public. Does a flu shot lower your immune system?
