for the past 5 days i have been hearing the sound of my heartbeat in my left ear. it sounds similar to a sonogram(sp*?).
i went to a medical center which i think has nurses that look at you. this was 3 days ago when i went. the nurse said i should take Sudafed(sp?*) and see where it goes from there because he said he saw fluid in my ear. if it did not stop within 3 days, i should go to an ENT.
well, i still hear the heartbeat and im getting nervous it is something other than just fluid in my ear.
any answers to what else this could be?

I've had it for a few years now and Drs keep wanting to push pain pills and anti-inflamatories. Anything more natural?

so last night i smoked weed with my friends, and it was a different high than i have ever experienced before. when the pipe came to me for the second hit in that round it looked like it was already cashed cuz it was brownish-black. i was already ripped after my third hit... which is pretty rookie if you ask me. and it is the day after and i am still feeling high..:( also, i had really bad tremors last night. I think i may have done heroin... how do i know?

I am a newly married man to a 17 year old girl. During our first intercourse, which was a failure, when I tried to rouse her by caressing her clitoris, I found out that she doesn't have that raised thing inside her vagina, which we call clitoris, which when caressed becomes erect. Is it because she is too young and her organ has not yet been developed fully? The other problem is she complained of pain in her vagina when I tried to penetrate her, and when I tried to insert my index finger, I found her vagina too small that even my index finger wouldn't go fully inside. She also complained of pain in the breast, where I find that there is a lump. I know she is a virgin, and doesn't know fully about her or my sexual organs. And in India in most of the families we are not taught anything about sex related issues. What are her problems?

My grandmother is 66 and has been suffering with a variety of illnesses. The possible symptoms are: severely enlarged spleen, leg numbness (possible neuropathy from diabetes,) leg swelling (sometimes severe), mini stroke, increased appetite, fatigue/energy loss, short term memory loss (can't remember a phone call five minutes previous), indigestion, severe hot flashes, occasional diarrhea, some sort of foot fungus, and pulmonary edema. Other conditions she's had/has included congestive heart failure, diabetes, OCD, and anxiety/panic attacks. She's been tested for both anemia and leukemia, both results negative. She gets frequent blood transfusions, and even though she has O+ blood, it's difficult to find a match due to some abnormality with her antibodies.

Any ideas are extremely appreciated. Her doctors have been less than helpful thus far and I'm hoping someone out there can figure out what's wrong and help her. Thank you

My dad wants me to go to rehab for my drinking, but I don't think it's extemely bad. I do need help though, I just don't think rehab would be the right solution. So how do you know if you should go to rehab or just see/talk to someone?

Three weeks ago I discovered that I had rash on the back of my knee it didn't look good at all, after a week it was still there
I decided to go to the Doctor...he gave me strong antibiotics.
they didn't work. 2 days after I went to the emergency room and they gave me nothing even after I told them that I was very nauseus and dizzy with chest pains. They told me to stop taking the antibiotics...This happened Sunday, today it's Friday and I'm still feeling sick very nauseus with chest pain and I just can't digest my food. I feel like the doctors are useless, I don't want to spend more money and not get treated I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have had the same symptoms I feel as if I was going to drop dead and I don't know how to get help
It seems like the doctors are too busy to take the time to really listen and try to help you. My diagnosis was..Insect bites I don't beleive it! There is no poisonous insects in the area where I live and I'm not allergic to anything.???

I have had panic attacks and GAD for the last two years and have recently noticed that if I have some cocktails in the evening the next day is like a rollercoaster of panic attacks. Feeling like my throat is closing and I am losing control of my body. Is there a direct link between alcohol consumption and panic and anxiety disorders? I should mention that on days I do not consume alcohol I am 80-90% okay. Has anyone out there found this to be the case?

<<< ignore the grammer errors as I am a hypothyroid male>>>

Hi I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism about a year ago and all I do is take syntheroid medications (Hormonal)..
(I am a 22 years old male by the way)

I use to be a very active smart atheletic young guy, but since about three-four years ago things have taken a bad turn. Hypothyroidism has put a U-turn in my life, I am no longer smart but am dum compared to the average people around me, my memory (wait i have no more memory,lol)has decreased significantly and I am sluggish in speech , and life is getting worse it seems as depression seems to be setting in from timt to time.

I wanted to know if there was something else that I could do
Like eat some certain foods that are good for the thyroid gland
or exercise the thyroid through yoga maybe?
Meditate, be one with God,..pray?

MY LEFT EYE TWITCHES AFTER I TAKE THE MEDICATION, IS THAT NORMAL? (4 the whole day)

I've been noticing more and more that the hearing in my left ear is not good. I had an eardrum burst when I was a small child, and I am starting to wonder if it was the left one (I don't remember the incident--I was under 5.) I can't hear people who are sitting on my left unless they are talking very loudly--I am having to pretend to hear them by nodding along, or turning my head so my right ear is facing them. Can a GP do a hearing test, or do I need to see a specialist?

My head feels extremely heavy, and I get quite dizzy plus my vision seems to darken and I can feel my heartbeat is heavy. It only happens when I get up suddenly from sitting or lying down, and lasts for a number of seconds. I've had this before and if memory serves me correct, when I had my blood tested, I was told my blood pressure was a little higher than it should be.
However, I also have throbbing pains where my arteries are, and I didn't have this before. These pains are in my upper arms and thighs, and very occasionally in my lower torso region. It may sound stupid or weird me saying this, but these pains feel like they're coming from my arteries, yet I don't know whether you have nerves in your arteries that could allow you to feel anything. These throbbing pains happen randomly and my legs or arms aren't crossed, or in any positions that would allow blood flow to anywhere else but down, normally.

I'm starting to get a little worried because I've had this for several months now

Hello,

I recently made another post about using Qtips in my ears. I know the inside of ears are damaged because sometimes I get a small amount of blood. I feel I have caused an infection and maybe it led to my brain. Its been this way for 6 months now.

My question is this... If i gave myself a brain infection 6 months ago without treatment, could I still be alive? How long can someone live with a brain infection? For the past 2 months ive been having a lot of dizziness and headaches. Is it too late for me? Am i a dead man? How long can I have a brain infection for without it killing me or being too late?

Thanks,
Adam

I ahve been off xanax for almost 4 days now, feel a little more awake and a lil of the pins and needles, but don't want to take it any longer. I would like to take it on an as need basis. I ahve been on xanax for almost 9 months sometimes up to 2 mg everyday. I don't want to talk to the dr. who precribed him cause he only saw me 1 time. I have tried to wean off but that seemed more difficult with more symptons. I woke up 1 morning and decided just to stop. I actually feel more like myself. Just wondering if anyone else has done this w/o weaning and was ok and how long before you felt 100% back to normal, just not so " awake ".
