I look online to see what the symptoms of high blood pressure and both diastolic and systolic should be high simultaneously. Does anyone have some insight or a link to information that could clear up any misconceptions I may have?

About me, I am in very good shape. I am 6 foot, weight about 172 and am at 4.6 % body fat. This is why I am confused. . . Thanks guys!

I have had this thing for about 4 years that is slowly growing. It looks like a whitehead and is about the size of a pencil eraser. I think it might just be a pimple trapped beneath the skin so it has no place to go and keeps growing. I thought eventually it would go away on it's own but now I don't think so. It's neither hard nor soft... kind of feels like puss inside of a sack. From researching on the internet I believe it is what is called a "sebaceous cyst" but I am not sure.

My question is can I remove it by puncturing it with a (sterile) pin/needle, will it drain out like a regular whitehead pimple? Or do I need to go and get it cut open by a doctor? Lastly... will it bleed at all or a lot? Does anyone have anything that matches my description?

I know a lot of people will say "see a doctor" just because they don't want something bad to inadvertantly happen, but please be honest. I won't hold you liable for anything that happens from your advice :P.

My husband is permanently disabled, so exercise, even walking is hard for him, to do. When he was first diagnosed about a year ago with diabetes, the meds were really helping- plus he took cinnamon- now he realizes that the cinnamon has been giving him headaches. For the past few weeks, his blood sugar level has not dropped below 200- any suggestions. At this time his doc will not try another med. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays

I was told I had genital warts at the local GUM clinic, they were going to freeze them off but I got scared so decided to opt for the cream instead...

...the cream doesn't seem to be working yet, I'm worried about using it as the warts are tiny, one is right near urethra, I'm worried about the cream damaging the skin around the warts as they are too small to get it just on the warts.

Was I wrong not to get them frozen off?

I'm also getting a lot of conflicting information from people, some people say it can only be passed on if you have warts, the leaflet they gave me at the GUM clinic say that the virus can go away by itself after a few years but other places say you could have it for the rest of your life...

Does that mean whenever you have sex you are going to be passing that virus onto other people?!! (Or does it only pass on if there are actual warts?)
No where says I should abstain from sex for the rest of my life, so surely that can't be true.

???
Someone told me it's diabetes but it can't be...because I'm not showing ANY other signs of it. So, that's out, but I was just wondering if it's normal or anything.

My step mum has just been in hospital to have a hysterectomy, and they found that she has got ovarian cancer that has spread to her cervix.
I have heard all of this info from my sister, as i had a falling out with her over 3 years ago, and we have not spoken since.
i would really like to send a little card to her, to let her know that i am thinking of her..but i'm worried that she will think i am being a hypocrite.
should i send her a little card or not?
