What's "too much"? How much is too much? Drinking alcohol is not a disease! Doing drugs is not a disease! It's a choice. So it is a bad choice. Choices aren't diseases. Does anybody know what a disease is? its internal not external like alcohol

I recently had a baby Sept 20/07 I had PIH disorder, I was put on 60 mg of Adalat XL and also 200mg of labitatol 3 times a day... I have since been ordered to stop taking the Labitatol. I find that around 5-6pm every night I get really tired, I have been taking my BP at home and it is ok not perfect. I notice elevated heart rate once and a while, I do know that I suffer from anxiety but do not know that this is directly connected.. What is wrong with me ?

My swelling is on the right side of neck on the front ,it is for almost 6 months .Upon scanning the image interpretation found was " scan shows thyroid gland in its normal anatomical position .Left lobe appers normal in size with homogenous tracer uptake .A COLD NODULE IS SEEN INVOLVING RIGHT LOBE OF THE THYROID ".... so doctor asked for FNAC of thyroid which resulted in "BENIGN PATHOLOGY SUGGESTIVE OF GOITRE".

My T4 = 1.26 ng/dl and normal range (0.89 --- 1.79)
My T3 = 1.69 ng/ml and normal range (1.62 ---- 3.77)
My TSH = 3.48 uIU/ml and normal range(0.17 --- 4.05)
All of these are well within the limit

Obviously i m a patient of goiter, here one of the doctor is asking me to take thyroxin and the other one is advising me to get it operated , so is it advisable to take thyroxin as my t4, t3 and tsh is well within the limit .Plz advise i would become (hyper/hypo)-thyroidism ,and do u think nodules get shrink by using thyroxin
?, kinldy advice or share ur experience

I don't know what's going on but about 5-6 days ago I had to use the bathroom multiple times. Now, I feel as if the same thing might be happening again and it's not very fun. I'm having a problem with my stomach and I every time I burp the smell is far from normal and nasty. I also have a bit of cramps. This is very annoying and it's bothering me... If any of you have experienced something like this, please tell me what may be wrong. (I don't feel like going to doctor). Thanks.

-firstly, my child DOES have an appt with her Dr , I am just curious in the meantime.
When my daughter was an infant we had a very unsuccessful blood draw which resulted in the technicians ultimately drawing blood from her foot. They said her blood clotted easily because she was an infant.
She is now 5 and we went for blood tests today. I told the tech about the last attempts and she said it's common for babies but it should be better now. After 3 attempts she finally got an open vein and my daughters blood flowed very slowly. So slowly that the tech changed tubes thinking it was the vacuum.
Turns out it's her blood, and it took approx. 1 minute to half fill each vial. The tech asked if she had a clotting disorder diagnosed, I said no and she suggested I mention it to our Ped. which I will. Her blood looked like thick sludge barely dripping into the vials. I know when I get blood it flows into those things.
Am I just being a paranoid Mom or does this seem abnormal?

Opinions please

When the doctor first put me on hypertension medication, I was having strange side effects. He put me on 2 x 50mg of Toperal each day. I kept waking up with erections, that would not seem to go away. I would also get light headed when I got one. Yes, everything worked, and I could still have sex, but just didn’t “feel” right. I don’t know how to explain it. I don’t take any other medications of any kind.

The doctor put me on 160mg Dorian, 5mg Novasec, and 25mg Toperal (minimum dosages). I have no side effects except for insomnia. I am wondering if the insomnia is not caused by the Toperal.

Has anyone had success with any homeopathic remedies? I have tried using melatonin, but it gives me heartburn right after I take it.

What do you think of serotonin? Will that help me sleep? Maybe if I can sleep the Hypertension will go away? Also I suffer from allergies, but nothing works. Is there a connection?

It happens every few days and lasts for about 10 minutes each time. Only my left though. It's been doing this off and on for a couple months now. I don't take caffiene at all either.

I noticed that I sometimes feel a stabbing pain( ? ..like as if something is pricking me) often at the left side of my thorax. I can't determine if the pain is located right by my ribs or at the ICS. the pain doesnt radiate and it lasts for a few seconds although rarely does it cause severe pain that I have to hold my breath. Whenever that happens I have to breath intermittently cause it hurts in every inspiration. I dont visit the doctor so I don't know what it is. at first I thought it was due to lack of oxygen or something like muscle cramps because i noticed 'the attacks' to occur when I laugh too hard but now, 'the attacks' just happen. Can someone tell me if it means anything? thanks
