Hi,
I have had a kind of dull ache in the region of my heart for a couple of months now, nothing outrageous, just feels like someone is applying pressure with a thumb (it's that localised) to my chest. I don't really want to go to the doctors and have that on my medical record, but I am a little concerned! I also have a little numbness in my fingers when I grab things, could this be physcosematic, or indacative of a problem, also if it is a problem, does it sound like something that can be treated, or will I just have to live with it until it gets worse? Iam 46 overweight by about 4 stone, and I smoke (recipie for disaster I know), any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Why are those who have AIDS/HIV the first highly infectious group to be free of quarantine?

Maybe it’s because we are Americans and have forgotten but TB and various other diseases that are highly infectious the government can come in and quarantine that person indefinitely.

Why is AIDS the only exception to the rule? I know a lot of Gay Rights advocates were mad when they decided they can try those who are infected with AIDS/HIV (if they unknowingly have unprotected sex with that person) with attempted murder but why is AIDs different?

AIDS can be managed like many other infectious diseases but what is it so special? Is it because the pressure the gay community puts on the issue? It is no different from TB in that it can spread and it’s highly infectious so why aren’t those who are carriers quarantined?

Why is AIDS different?

In the middle of last year i had really dry hands. I used lotion but it would only make it sting. This year i got it again and it itches really bad and it feels like flour. My hands are constantly red and when i take a shower the water hurts my hands. I only have it on one hand but its starting to happen on the other hand. It espiccilaly worst at the knuckle area. I think it has something to do with the soap i use to wash my hands but im not sure since i had it lasat year to!

We were doing science projects in school today. One guy was checking people's blood pressures for his project. My heart rate was 105 and it went up to 108 after an energy drink. My friend's heart rate was 120 and she's thin too. I got back home and I checked again and now its 91. I'm 14, weigh 131 which is normal for my height. I have been experiencing a lot of stress in school because finals are coming up. My mom has heart problems. Can this be because of the stress? Please help..

She had an outbreak at her daycare and they notified all parents on Monday. Today, I kept her at home with me as shes been running a fever. Appetite is great and she's going potty just fine. Regular bow. movements.

I've read that doctors wont administer anti biotic for mumps and it just has to run its course. Plus Mom and I really don't like hospitals and will only take her if its a true emergency.

One strange characteristic she's displayed though has me concerned. She makes these faces where she'll close her eyes and push her bottom teeth out forward. She's even shed tears during this time as well, looking like she's in pain. But if I distract her with anything, like a toy, she stops doing it and seems to be fine.

Any ideas?

And please...those that want to point fingers and say I'm not wise to take her in, I'd rather not hear from you. We will take her if problems persist but this is the first day shes ran a rather low fever. Tylenol has knocked it out.

My relative was born with a hole int heir heart that the doctors never knew about so eventually the hole grew bigger.

But they said that the exact cause of death was a heart attack and a stroke in their sleep. I just don't get how it can be both? Can someone explain this to me? Thanks.
