I went in for my results with a new doctor, and I was told that I have high potassium and asked if I ate a lot of bananas. I dont eat a ton but I do eat them. He said my kidney function was fine and that Im one of those people that my body doesnt process potassium very well and to cut down to half a banana every couple days. I think theres more to this than bananas. My count is 6.7 and it should be 3.5.

Im fit and work out every 2 or 3 days. I know that Ive always been sensivitve to salt as a bottle of V8 will snd me with crushing pain in my right side and into the hospital with what they beleive is kidney stones. (Allergic to the ivp) Is there something else I should look at? Could it be that the test was done wrong? I clenched my fist through the whole thing and if the test is done wrong it can read wrong results.

Ok for the past 2 weeks i have been having bad anxiety attacks about a health issue that went away. i had symtoms of having trouble breathing ,heart palpations, headaches, tingly feeling. But now im totally relaxed but i still fell anxiety constantly, and its getting to the ponit where my heart feels fatigued if i do excercise, my lungs feel liek i have a horrbile upperrespiatory sickness nad my stomach feels totally bad. I went the doctor 2 weeks ago with minor symtoms he said nothings wrong its anxiety. But it has just gotten worse and worse. I am totally extremly calm person my whole life, not worrying aobut anything. I mean i was very careless, almsot too careless. Now out of nowhere one day a panic attack hit me. Im a young person in my teens healthy, who runs, excercises daily. Now expalin this, how in the hell do i randomly get an panic attack out of nowhere? I dont even think aobut anxiety anymore and its still there. Do u guys think i have something wrong (not anxiety)?

Ok ive had bad anxiety attacks at least one or twice a day for the past 2 weeks some are short, and some are mild and long lasting. Ive been mainly having the mild and long lasting ones, which include having difficulty in breathing, heart warness etc. But my question is can anxiety make you tired and lethargic? Like whenever i excercise i feel tired way more easily than before. I went to the doctor and evrythings fine. Ive b workout evryday at the gym and i run evryday after. This having toruble doing cardio just started like 3 days ago. I think it caused form being so anxious all the time its casuing me to lose energy and get winded easier. Becaause having trouble breathing, heartp unding for al ong time, may cause oyu to get tired more easier. Is my anxiety causing this or is this something to b more concerned aobut? Im going to the psychiatrist next week maybe it will get better than when my anxiety gets less and less? Am i just thinking about it too much? SERIOUS answers plz

I was watching a movie and my head was resting against my shoulder, neck curved (as the neck usually does) and now I have a sharp pain whenever I turn my head 90 degrees to the right. Any suggestions or excercises I can do to relieve the pain? It really hurts. I've put some icy-hot on it, but any tips?
Thank you sooo much.

Hey guys! I do martial arts as a hobby and it has been super hot down here where I live, well last night when we got half way through the kicks I started feeling sick, and it wouldn't go away, but as long as I was moving I was feeling ok, but when it came to get a drink i felt terrible. The sickness feeling felt like I was hungry, but I ate before I went. Well I did second class, and I felt worse, but I didn't stop, because we weren't doing anything but drills anyway. I got home and I was feeling really bad...I felt I was hungry and but I couldn't eat. So I went to bed and I threw up twice, and I still have this feeling in my stomach, but I ate a little this morning.

I have two things I thing could've happen...i got so hungry and it made me sick or I got too hot...

can anyone help me?

If its summer and it just so happens that get home late, or you stay up watching tv, when do you fall asleep? Think , maybe your favorite show is on or maybe you just want to have fun! Either one at some time you would go to sleep right? Without sleep you would act differently and will definetly be tired. It may seem you have all this energy it will go away in a few hours. If you also thinks so please answer!!

Okay so I recently got into a car accident, I was sent to get an MRI, and that's when they informed me, that I have a herniated disc and a protruding disc on my lumbar (lower) part of my back, and that I have 3 swollen disc and one herniated disc on the cervical (upper where my neck is) part of my back. I am going to see the orthopedic this upcoming Wednesday. I have a lawyer already because they didn't want to pay my medical bills when I called myself, well now that they found out I have a lawyer they agreed to pay my medical bills, but now I'm going to sue the guy for the accident, if anyone knows I'm just curious, how much does a settlement for something like this kind of injury will I get back approx. a range. Thanks!

I was at a hotel and I was having a drink at the bar. I felt a sneeze coming (but as there was a few other guests from a wedding that was happening in the hotel and I have an unusually loud sneeze) I held my nose and had the sneeze which was really sore to do.
I kept massaging my nose as it was still really sore. Next thing I knew my lip started to go numb and I it started going up my lip to the top of my nose and right round my sinuses.
30 mins went by and I started to get a bit worried. Then eventually I heard a hissing noise coming from my nose and all the soreness went away and 30 secs later the numbing aswell.

Weird.

1. If they find internal hemorrhoids, will they take care of them then and there, like they do with polyps?

2. I'm supposed to be food-free the day before, but will it be easier on me with the colon cleanser if I "semi-fast" for a few days before that - ie. lots and lots of water and small meals of easily digested food (like vegetables and fruits)?

3. How long will I hurt for afterwards?

4. Why do some people remember parts of the procedure and others don't? I really don't want to remember it - can I request a special medication that knocks me completely out, or is it just dependent on how you react to the med?

Thanks :)
