I'm 22 years old and in good health. I don't smoke and am not overweight. Occasionally, I'll get a single heart palpitation. However, today, I bent down to pick something up and I had multiple ones in a row. It really freaked me out and I'm scared that I'm going to go into arrhythmia and die. I haven't had any caffeine in a few days so that's not the cause. I've had a really stressful week due to final exams and barely any sleep last night so I'm wondering if that's the problem. Earlier in the morning, I took a multivitamin and a calcium supplement (I don't drink milk). My mom told me that her side of the family including her seem to get palpitations more than normal so maybe it's genetic. Anyway, I'm still scared and I don't know what to do.

My best friend was very recently told she has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and that there is nothing that can be done. She is in her early 30's with 2 young girls. The doctor told her to do "alot of video-taping". Essentially, she feels fine, but doesnt know how long she has. Is there NO treatment for this? We live in Southern California with some of the best medical universities and hospitals. Is there nothing that can be done? Im angry! What should I do?

One dr. said cellulitis and another was stumped. What condition moves away from the heart like this? It's red and sore, tender to the touch and a little warm. Do you think it will work its way out once it gets to my fingertip?

My boyfriend checks every time he reverses if he has run anyone over, he also cecks if his telephone is dialing out, if taps are dripping and if there is dirt on his clean clothes! I believe he is showing signs of OCD but need help on how to over comes these habits. He recently went under open heart surgery and I believe these habits might have stemmed from the anxiety of that but now need to know how to overcome them. Your help is much appreciated.

We went out for works crimbo dinner last night, but the place was really posh so the food was on a huge plate and an extremely small amount..

Anyway after starters and mains I was still starvin, so when I got my xmas pud, which can't of been much bigger than two 10p's I figured I'd have to stop at the kebab shop on the way home.. but I ate two bites.. and I immediatly bloated!
I couldn't finish it...! My dress that was previously quite loose got so tight it hurt! I hadn't been drinking anything but water all night as I was driving, so that wouldn't have done anything..

I can't work out what caused it.. as I felt like crap for the rest of the night and still do't feel great today..

Anyone got any ideas? as I've eaten xmas pud before with no probs!
