Recently, I've been experiencing things with my body that I've never felt before. Pains in chest. Sometimes the pain is dull and sometimes it's sharp. The pain is getting worse. There is also a matter of shortness of breath. First I feel like my throat muscles drop as if I had no control over it. During this time I am unable to swallow or breathe. and I feel an anxiety fall over my body. Then, I get pains up and down my arms and in chest. The pains in my chest seem to remain on a daily basis. Sometimes it almost feels as though they are soar like after a workout. I will usually get light-headed and dizzyness without cause. My heart rate normally stays somewhat the same during all of this. The doctors have labeled panic attacks without giving me a thorough check, but panic attacks from what I understand don't involve pain. I do get nausia alot during the days and it seems I been getting dehydrated easier. I'm not sure what to do anymore.

thanks!

My dad had a physical which included a blood test and an EKG three months ago. Two weeks ago from today he started having trouble breathing and he looked terrible and the color of his skin was silver and his stomach started to swell so he went to his doctor the next day and they could hear bowel sounds up by his heart and lungs and told him that he would be ok. Four days later while he was on his way to work he had a massive heartattack and died instantly. And when the autopsy came back the corner said that he had thyroid cancer!!! And that all three of his arteries were pretty much blocked(90-91-99%) And that fluid was building up around his heart and lungs. And we called clinic to get O2 level and they said that they couldnt give out that kind of information. My fathers O2 level should have gave them a clue that he was not getting enough oxygen. And he had a thyroid gland 5x larger than the nornmal size! His was 155grams. He was a healthy 65 year old man too that excercised daily.

Is anyone aware of large tonsils being a problem with a child of age 3s speech?

My son has permanently inflamed tonsils and has been on numerous courses of antibiotics for septic tonsilitis, however there has been no redction in size.

We were reffered to ENT and as my son rarely complains of pain they said that there's no need to take them out.

My main concern is his speech, however ENT tell us that this wouldn't be effecting his speech. We was reffered a second time as our GP was of the same opinion as us that this would effect his speech, however after seeing ENT for a second time they said the same witout even taking a look in his mouth. They seem more interested in what amount of pain he is in.

Whilst there he had a hearing test to rule out glue ear as there were signs of glue in one ear, however the tests came back ok. We were told that glue comes and goes as the child grows up, so we have another appointment in December to see if gromits are needed.

I just got an albuterol inhaler yesterday from the pharmacy. It was prescribed to me yesterday. Well today when I was asleep my dog got ahold of it off the coffee table and punctured a hole in the inhaler. It is useless. Do you think it is possible to get another one if I explain to the pharmacist what happened and show him/her the inhaler or do you think they will make me get another prescription for it.

A friend of mine had surgery yesterday and he has a big clot on one nostril. We have tried saline solution to get it to come out but it is a long piece of large tissue that is not coming out. What do you suggest besides calling the surgeon? He is not able to breathe or sleep at all. Thanks.

Whenever I draw in a really long breath or deep breath I get a sharp pain on the left side of my chest, near my heart. Is it just growing pains, or should I get it checked out? I wouldn't normally care but its been going on for a few months or years now, can't remember.

Try to be short with this. I was diagnosed in June 2002 that i had Pulmonary Fibrosis and that i would need a double lung transplant. At this time i went on portable oxygen tanks to help me breathe. Feb 2003 i was transplanted for the lungs. March 27 i was released from the hospital. June 1 2003 i went back to work. From that date on i have had numerouse problems freom the transplant as well as other organ damage because of the medicines. I have chronic kidney failure which according to all my doctors is whats causing all the other ailments i am having because my kidneys arent working like they should. They have cause me to have neuropathy in my hands and feet but i am NOT eligible for a kidney transplant because the doctors say my lungs wont hold up for any type of major suregery, plus they have stated that there is no way they will re-transplant me at all because my body is basically torn up from the meds i am taking. ANYWAY i am currently still working for the fed govt but i have to go out this year on med disability because there is no way i can now perform my job because of my lungs and kidney and heart disease. What i want to know is: do i or did i qualify for ANY type of disability from any agency during that time frame. I am still considered to be disabled according to the doctors because of the health problems now, plus i use oxygen again as a result of my lungs failing again, this time its called "broncholitis obliterans" and there is no cure for it except the transplant that i cant have. I was told by some outsiders that i still would or should be qualified for some form of social security from the very first day until now june 2002 until present even though i still work. One of my wifes co-workers had a kidney transplant and the ssa recognized it and they pay her TODAY a monthly check and she is working full time. They told me that lungs were not recognized in the medicare or social security guides or rules. Now am i entitled to any thing at all while i am still working...THANKS...Tony
