I've tried Xanax three times now, in increasingly larger quantities, and amounts that people around me tell me will make them pass out with no memory afterwards of what happened right before they passed out. Nothing has had even the smallest effect on me. I tried crushing up several pills into powder and taking them at once... nothing...

Are there lots of people who are unresponsive to Xanax? Is this normal? (No, it's not tolerance related, I use no drugs, medication, or even alcohol or tobacco)

I know it is caused by stress and i have been able to control it pretty well with out taking anything but there are times where i feel like my heart is gonna jump out of my chest. I don't want to be dependent on a pill for the rest of my life. I would rather have a natural way to deal with it. anything worked for you???

Recently, my OBGYN discovered a mass the size of a softball in my abdominal area. Went for a ct-scan and he confirmed it along with a slightly enlarged liver. He has refered me to a bariactric doctor which the appt is next week. I have been in discomfort and pain for sometime. I was taking ibprofren for the pain which he said may be why the liver is slightly enlarged. My question: if surgery is needed to repair the hernia, how long is the normal time being out of work? Also, could I wait until mid-January before the procedure or is this something that needs a.s.a.p attention? Again, I haven't seen the second doctor yet. I have questions now but can't get answers until I see him next week. Am I in any danger like an erupted appendix scenerio? The pain is from the mid section and runs up to my right side near my waste. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

i've been having problems breathing because it feels as if i don't have enough room for my lungs to expand. I also get needle pains spontaneously. I've been to my doctor and had an EKG and x-ray done but everything looks normal. I am only 19 so i'm a little concerned with my numbness and tingling in my left arm and my dizziness and blurred vision that i am currently having. on top of that i have high cholesterol. any advice?

I have had a sore throat for the last two days or so, and now a very runny nose. Last night my heart rate seemed very accelerated, actually keeping me from sleeping. Today my sore throat has been diminishing thought the runny nose is getting worse, but what I dont understand is that tonight after dinner I had a brief bout of diarhea. Does anyone know if it could be related to the other symptoms? As far as I know I have not had a fever.

I am in my teens and definately not pregnant, and I am constantly dizzy! I will look down at a paper infront of me, and then look up quickly, and I will be dizzy. Could this be my vision or something, or is it because I am not eating enough salt? I have been dizzy off and on for about two months, but it got really bad today!

Hi, I am a surgeon and I will be operating on a patient tomorrow who has liver disease. Can anyone tell me whether or not gastric bypass surgery would actually help the disease? If not, which disease should I perform? Thanks.

He is 44 and has had 3 heart attacks, 2 stent placements. He coughed up approx. 1/4 cup of blood about 6 weeks ago and I carried him to the ER. They could find no reason for what he did. He did not tell the Dr. that it happened during arousal. Today we again tried to be intiment and he began to feel smothered and started coughing up small amounts of blood tinged sputum. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be causing this problem? It is really putting a damper on our sex life. I am afraid that any time I touch him he may have to go to the hospital. He is becoming very depressed due to the lack of a sex life. His first heart attack was at the age of 39 . Before that he has had to endure 4 back surgeries so we have had a limited sex life since we were 30. These 14 years of fearing sex has taken a toll on both of us. I would appreciate any knowledge on what may be the cause. Educated guesses are also welcome. We are desperate.
