My uncle had heart surgery 2 years ago here in the states and they had to give him blood. He went back home and there they found something in his blood they didn't know what it was. So he came back here because they couldn't do anything there. Anyway here they say he has blood cancer could have got it from the blood they gave him during the heart surgery?

I've taken my blood pressure for three days running. It came out first as 85 over 45! I was really shocked, and when i next took it it came out as 92 over 64. my third day (today) it was 90 over 50! I have checked this up and it is really low, apparently. I have no symptoms of hypotension apart from i often feel dizzy when i stand up. im not overweight, fit, eat healthily and do not starve myself whatsoever. i am a vegetarian however. is this it? otherwise, any suggestions?

One very obvious effect of chemotherapy is that people generally lose all of their hair a few weeks after the drugs enter their system. Why do you think chemotherapy drugs cause a person's hair to fall out?

What is the normal events when someone has a very high fever. Are they always sweaty? Or are they just very hot to the touch, and they can't sweat?
Also, if the person sweats during a fever, when does the sweating start -- before or after the fever breaks. Im not even sure what is meant by a fever break.
Do people sweat profusely in the presence of infection in the body?

As far as I'm concern, what I do have is canker sore (after looking at the answers on this website, definitely not cold sore or fever blister which ONLY appear outside the mouth, I'm sure me & my wife never came across cold sore & fever blister). Yet my blood test result of HSV-1 show index 10 positive, HSV-2 negative. I didn't know my wife has infected by HSV-1 until I saw the blister came out at her genital & bring her to doctor. We do have oral sex for the past 2 months after married. But I've stopped giving her oral sex 1 week or more before her 1st outbreak at genital. The day before the blister manifest, I have sex with her but no oral sex. She was diagnosed for HSV-1 genital infection the day after blister appeared. I just wanna know what is the best possible way to describe how we both get infected. We never had any sex partners before marriage. I'd never shows any symptoms of HSV-1 infection till now, only she has. Will there any future infection if we both have sex again?TQ

Or does anyone know if there are any trials/studies showing the effectiveness of radiation? Or what about surgery in treating cancer? I have heard there are none, but wanted to ask the "experts" here first.

Catching flu doubles the short-term risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke, according to new research. The increased risk recedes after the first seven days and virtually vanishes after a month, but the finding may help explain why heart attacks and strokes are more common in winter.

For about a week I had been experiencing a fast heart rate , mostly at night. Could feel it pulsing in my neck and chest. Kept me awake all night. I went to the doctor, and my pulse was 102, blood pressure 140/86. They put me on Atenolol. I take one everyday, but sometimes later in the morning. When I take it a few hours late, my pulse is high, and I get all sweaty and jitterey. Is this because the medication is making me feel this way, because I am not taking it exactly 24 hours, or is this how I would feel if I wasn't taking it. Or is it the medication making me feel this way, because they say if you stop taking it, your sympyms could get worse?????

Also the did a EKG, guess it was Ok, but isn't there other test they should be doing?

For ten years I was bulimia. I went to the hospital last week and had three bags of pottosium in me. I am so blooded I can't even fit in my jeans. I went from 106 to 114. I know that its because of the bags and IV's that I had. I done with my disorder and now I have a fear of gaining weight. I am eating little portions of meals but I am eating food like a 3 year old because nothing will stay in my system.. How much weight am I going to gain? And will the swelling go down from the I V's that I had. I am seeking help now but I feel so bloaded from the I V's and now that I am eating its making it worse. But I am not going back to my disease. Im done. But how do I at least maintain my weight. I don't want to get any bigger. Will the swelling from the I V's go down, and how long will it take?

It was a commercial on TV EARLY this morning. The claim was that these pads would remove toxins, somehow, from your body. My brain can't remember ANYTHING else about them! Anyone got any 411 on these things?
