My mom has gone into the hospital a few times with a racing heart and now been told that it's probably super ventricular tachycardia. She was sent home today from the hospital and told to take these blood pressure pills but she hates taking meds and belives that this condition is stress induced but I'm pretty sure it's not. She is suppose to make an appointment tomorrow morning with a cardiologist and have it set up for next week. I think she took her pill tonight but I'm not sure. How can I convinve her to keep doing so and what other precautions can I take to make sure she is ok. I told her that I went online and looked up svt and told her it can be fatal...I don't know if that was the right thing to do or not. What can I do to help right now? I just wanna make sure she's ok.

First off, I have massive anxiety towards this disease...and was literally prescribed xanax to stop thinking about all of the symptoms. My problem, is that I immediantly think the worst and jump to conclusions very quickly.

I was sick for about 3 weeks, and was prescribed Cefdiner for the last week to try to calm this fear. My temperature never jumped above 99.2, and is currently 98.3. I had a sore throat for a while, and mainly what seemed to be a sinus infection. Cleared the antibiotic on monday, but now on my the side of my right thigh has appeared a very small reddish/purplelish rash that doesnt completely fade with the test (no pain). I dont have a stiff neck (have tried all 3 tests), headache, fever or no dislike of bright lights. My neck was sorta stiff for about a week, but it would always appear in certain areas, and vanish within hours probably due to stress.

Is this something I should be worried about, and contact the EMT or wait until morning to speak to a doctor?

They appear on her back and neck. She has allergies to certain things but this is weird even for her. She also gets a swollen upper lip once a month, however this time her swollen upper lip occured after sex as well. What is going on with her?

If you do happen to have leukemia since it was passed down, at what age does it show? Can you get tested at any age if you have it or not? Can you get it treated and be fully healed?

I noticed that whenever I drink fluids or eat anything I always end up having to cough or clear my throat due to excess mucous. I am not sick or anything I do have allergies, but I don't have post nasal drip. I am unsure what could be causing me to clear my throat after eating. What should I do?

I got my braces off almost a week ago and got my retainer and everything and it was fine until yesterday. I woke up with and awful sore throat and it almost felt like my throat was closing. My first thought was that I just caught a bug because I get sore throats really easily, and that it may have come off of my retainer. But it didn't really feel completly like a sore throat, my throat kind of felt tighter and like it had been cut up. My throat also was almost fine later in the day, just a little sore. I didn't sleep with it in last night and today I was fine. So my question is, is it possible that I could be allergic to my retainer? Or am I just crazy?

i have 4 warts on my right ring finger, 1 wart on my left pinky, and 1 on the bottom of my right foot.

i used to only have on in the palm of my right hand, but i tripped and it fell off (my hand happened to skid across the sidewalk), and thats when all these started to appear?

i tried this wart medicine, but it didnt work...

...so i was just curious if you could suggest some wart medicine i could possibly buy to get rid of these, and also tell me how warts come to be...?

Hi, I'm 15 yrs. old and during the past couple of months, I've had some pretty severe allergic reactions. At first, I thought it was just wheat. But then as I looked at the signs and symptoms of Celiac disease, I realized that I might have that. I do have a fairly short stature compared to my brothers and parents and I in the past, I have had at least 3 other signs (which I won't mention). Are there any ways to cope with this or do I really have to avoid gluten products for the rest of my life? I've had Luna bars and know that they don't have any wheat, but are there any other types of gluten-free snacks and cereals? Also, is there any way to know how much damage I already have? Thanks much! :)

OK the back of my throat is red and kind of lumpy, I also have a runny nose and a cough. Im not sure if my throat is just infected or is it because that when i give my bf a bl0wjob its unprotected. He never had sex with any one else. Can you still get STD from a virgin? is my throat infection because of the bl0wjob? or is it cuz im sick?

I removed the rubber and then rolled back my skin without thinking that my hand had been contaminated in the process of removing the ruber.

Can you get infected like this?

I am wonder how I go about finding out who to talk to in Florida.Concerning a person whom has been in trouble for homeinvasion and assualt on a sinor obtained a cna lisence and is currently allowed to work with sinors.This person used drugs and becomes violent.She has also been in an psyc hospital.I am guinely concerned for the elderly patients she works with.If she could assult her own 77 year old grandmother she would do this to someone elses grandmother.I am not trying to obtain this info to be mean or vindictive.But my Mother is very ill and since I am ill myself I can not continue to keep her home with me.And I am worried how she will be treated if this person slipped through the cracks in the system how am I supposed to feel about placing my mother in a resthome.Any info on how to find out how this was allowed to happen would be appreciated.
