Hello everyone, my mother is very depressed because she received a called today that she needed a biopsy. She's very worried because the doctors believe it's a benign or a lump. What could it be?

I was talking to a friend who claims to know of someone who was standing around before band practice talking to his mates, and he stopped mid-sentence, complained about feeling ill, keeled over and died. The cause, according to this friend of mine, was simply that his heart had stopped, not caused by disease, poisoning etc., it just simply stopped beating, as if it had run its course for this man's life.

I'm wondering, is this medically possible?

Anyone that takes this, do you have anxiety and ulcer problems? Also is this a calcium channel blocker or beta blocker or neither? I know it is an ACE Inhibitor, is this separate from the blockers?

Thanks for your kind answers to my questions.

This boy who has been trying to talk to me whom I am not interested in keeps texting me that he went to the doctor and they took blood for testing because he is "allergic to his skin" and his "tattoos are coming out". I don't believe this AT ALL, and believe it is a wannabe pity-party, but if it is true, I would feel bad. Anyone know anything about this existing?

I have had this odd patch of dry bumpy skin (i can't think of a better way to describe the texture, maybe like extremely soft and fine sandpaper) under the right side of my jawbone for weeks now (could have been months, I'm not sure when i first noticed). The patch starts right where the bottom of my ear lobe meets my jawbone and goes about halfway to my chin and slightly down my neck. It's not itchy, uncomfortable or irritating, and I don't even notice it unless I touch it. It's just...weird. I have tried various lotions and cleansers, but it doesn't go away.
Now today I just noticed a small patch of skin just like it on the upper part of my back, right under my neck.
Like I said, there's no irritation from it, I am just wondering if I should be concerned if it is a possible skin condition, since apparently it is spreading, and also because of it's odd location (under my jawbone...the hell?)
I'll be happy to provide any further information, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you have IBS-how are dealing how bad are your symptoms? I feel like I can't go anywhere because I am not sure if it will flare up...doctor put me on amitriptyline hcl 10mg a night.

I wonder if he also has a bad temper as well... how do you distinguish the differences between h. rages and just temper management issues?

Most likely cannot afford a therapist. Any suggestions?

Hey,

I was suffering from flu-like symptoms that began 3 days ago. These included:

Dry Cough
Muscle Ache [legs and lower back]
Fatigue
Fever
Chills
Nausea

Just recently those symptoms have subsided (I'm still a little weak, but no fever, chills or muscle ache) and my cough has started to produce phlegm.

I noticed this morning that I am coughing up green-colored stuff. I am wondering if this is a sign of post-flu pneumonia. I don't have a fever, or a sore chest. I'm not having any trouble breathing. Is pneumonia likely when the coughing is my only symptom? What are the normal early stages of pneumonia? Is coughing up colored phlegm a normal part of my dry cough becoming a productive one?

I'll likely see a doctor if it persists for more than a few days or worsens, but any insight is mucho appreciated. Thanks.

About a week ago I begin to get sores all over my thighs and now a few on my wrists, one under my arm, and two on my stomach. When they first appear some of them look kinda like ant bites with a small puss pocket but them some of them have turned into welts. Most of them are VERY sore and have turned into scabs.

I looked on the internet for bed bugs and the pictures I found look like it might be bed bugs, but I haven't found any traces of them in my bed or anything. But I begin sleeping in a different room two nights ago and so far I don't see any new ones. But I'm the only one in the house that has them.

Any ideas about what this could be? And if it is bedbugs how do you get rid of them?

Thanks.

My mother has told everyone he cannot have flowers or plants in the house, because "it might take away his breath". I feel the flowers/plants are good for him, since last I heard, they give off oxygen and take in the carbon dioxide he breathes out. Am I wrong to feel she is denyinig him something he may enjoy during his illness? How do I convince her she is wrong?

The only time in my life I have had issues with my BP is when I'm pregnant. Seeing as how its next to impossible for me to be pregnant right now (Mirena IUC), I found it odd that I was having my high bp symptoms (seeing spots, headache, dizzy, etc). I took my bp and it was 132/94. I'm about to be 27, relatively healthy and in good shape for having a 4 month old. No new stressors in my life right now and I'm not really a fan of salt. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks.
