I've taken about 10 Ibuprofens between today and yesterday, and 6 Energy Drinks in both days.

And the bottom of my eyes became really red, like not bloodshot but all red, I've been really cold, tired, weak, had blue and purple skin, around my eye, and I have what seems to be discoloration underneath my fingernail.

So I looked up the symtoms on WebMD

and all of them fit endocarditis which comes from infection of heart's inner lining, and endocarditisis linked to kidney, and liver problems.
Could the habit of having to much Ibuprofen, and so much caffiene effected me so I'd devolp
endocarditis?

Hubby won't go to doctors/I think he should. He refuses to go.

Symptoms: Can't shake flu symptoms..been going on for about three months now, extremely tired, has that foul breath you get when you have stomach or organ problems (my mother died of cancer-always had that foul sick smell on her breath) well he has it too, has for weeks and its not going away, Fever's off an on ever few days, cough won't go away either.

I am sure it can be anything any guess from those on here as where to start..I need something to shock him to go to the doctors...apparently...dealthly illness isn't getting his attention.

my throat had been hurting all day. I took my temperature and it came out to about 99 degrees. I didn't see any blisters on the back of my throat though. Do you think i'm getting a cold or have strep throat?

I'm not sure if it's the flu or not, but my mom just got over being sick and she was puking, had a headache, and had diarrhea, and now I feel like puking, I have a headache, and I think I have diarrhea.

Tomorrow is a very important day for me, and I relly cannot afford to be sick. Is there anything I can do to stop from being sick, postpone it, or anything at all. Please help. Thanks!

I started with a sore throat Christmas Eve. Had it for 4 days and then yesterday I came down with this strange symptom. I have a temperature and when I turn my head I feel a rush of blood and in my head and I feel like I am high or drunk.
I've had the flu many times but this is totally different! I have a slight cough but nothing like a cold or congestion.

Does anyone know what type of strain it could be?
My husband had it but only for a day or two.

I was diagnosed with glandular fever about 7-8 months ago. Is it possible that I still have it? I do feel very tired and my limbs ache from time to time. Should I have a blood test to see if I still have it?

Before 2 days, went to my doctor, as I still felt bad, from flu, he diagnosed me withs bronchitis, and with inflamed lymph nodes in my throad, and feel them in my jaw. Gave me antibiotics for 4 days to drink, I drinked 2 days, I feel a bit better. But i went out today, and when i change from cold to hot air, I dont feel well at all and sweat hits me crazily. Also feel tired. How long does it need for bronchitis to resolve. Anyone with experience here? My doctors says I panic too much. I suppose it's a viral infection after flu... Do I have to drink all antibiotics to start feeling some efect or so. I have just little bit wheezing, but had night sweats, even now a bit, tiredness, and so...i done xrays, and they showed bronchitis.
Help people Im scared...when it will go away :(
Thanks!

When taking temperatures, I find this site more reliable as to whether fever is present, but I'm not certain whether I should be adding a degree to groin temp to get oral equivalent the way you do with axillary (underarm) temps or not. I don't do oral temps because I breathe through my mouth a lot and they tend to be highly inaccurate (ie, I can clinically have an obvious fever and it not even show up on an oral temp when I've been breathing through my mouth or am having trouble breathing with my mouth closed for long enough to take an oral temp.)

Advice, please?
