My Boyfriend(He is a 28 yr. old Black man) was home this morning and felt dizzy all of sudden and fainted. He wasn't exercising or anything besides getting dressed. He couldn't remember much after that but waking up on the floor. Right away he went straight to the hospital ER. He has been there all day today and they have done many tests and are keeping him overnight(or more?) but I didn't get much info since I was talking to him and he was very tired(he has no relatives here in the US) I live in another state while in college so the info. I get is limited & I can't get there soon. Does anyone know what illness(s) could cause sudden dizziness & fainting symptom? I am so worried, this has never happened to him in his life. Please Any advice I'd be grateful for......

I know I need to see a doctor - but I don't know if these things are all related or signs of different problems. I've had a few nosebleeds recently, too.

and is bothering me a lot since it affects my confidence to face people. He denied it was jaundice and is only "dirty sclera". He advised to get rid of eye irritants. But what I wanted is to get rid of the yellow tinged that's bothering me. anyone knows how? Medications, eye drops, any?

She lost her husband in March, had to move to assisted living, etc. She hates taking drugs, but has sugar, breast cancer from 1997 returned, kidney problems. She has become weaker and forgetful and just different in the last weeks. Lives in assisted living and has meds administered. What will happen in the days ahead if the kidneys are shutting down, and she does not want dialysis. Will she become bedridden> She does have living will and says what will happen will happen. Doctors know and she is aware of what she wants. I am in charge of her affiars. Can anyone put a time frame on kidney failure without aggressive treatment?

Which is more dangerous to my body ...

Large doses of prednisone and methotrexate?
or
White blood cells attacking my muscles ( severe polymyalgia) ?

I don't see my Rheumatologist for 4 more weeks.
We've been reducing my prednisone by 1mg every 2 weeks.
The pain kicked in almost immediately, but I'm persevering, determined to get off these crippling drugs.

But now I've begun wondering if the attack of the white blood cells (very painful) is damaging my organs as well, and whether I am doing myself more harm than good by fighting on to get rid of these drugs?

Do any of you have any insights that you can share with me please? I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't, I'm so depressed and weary from the pain and from the drug side effects that I feel like there is no hope. I realise that sounds selfish and dramatic when so many people have terrible illness that is worse, but I am not coping just now.

Thanking you in advance, Lizzie

I woke up this morning and yesterday morning with dizziness and I don't know what to do to stop this. I know there is no medications for dizziness am I correct? My eyes feel heavy and I can't walk in a straight line. I am on medications with sleeping pills and I take them over 11:00 pm a lot. I am not sure if this has anything do with this. I am worried that this will happen for months. Do you know any other things that may have caused this? I wish this dizziness can stop. Can somebody help me? What do I do?
