Could I have fluid build up? I'm recovering from a cold, but I have no pain in my ear so far. The pressure and slight hearing loss is driving me crazy. What should I do?

I am very heavy set and have been since the birth of my baby. I am one of the less fortunate people with lots of struggle. The most thing that will help my self esteem and the courage to do more things is to proceed with this sugery. I have major back problems all through out the night. I am in my early twenties, and I am over 150lbs. My breasts are a tripple D and I am short in height. I need liposuction to the stomache, back, arms and shoulders. I am also looking foward to other procedures. If you know someone who could make me happy, I will give you a big hug. Thank you

Since I was about 8 years old, I have periodically gotten this pain in my lower right shoulder blade that would spread to my lung. It usually feels like someone just took a knife and stabbed me and that my lung is not getting air. My doctor at the time said it was nothing but that was almost 10 years ago and it still comes back every month or so. But now I'm pregnant and it keeps happening every day. It basically knocks the wind out of me. I'm not sure how serious this is and I don't have a doctor. I don't want to go to the e.r. unless its an emergency but should I be really concerned and try to seek care? I have never been injured in my back or lung, it just came on its own years ago and never went away.

I know that is a strange question. My mom is sick and the doctors are trying to adjust her medicine. She is really dizzy, and feels faint often because of her low blood pressure. I am so sad she is sick. I wish I could help her. Another medicine may interfeir with what she allready takes.

The black streak is verticle when looked at directly down. As the nail grows out, the black line remains on the nail. I don't know if it's a bruise or not because is doesn't hurt. Is it fungus?

This morning I woke up with a slight headache, thinking it was nothing I moved a long with my day. As the day progressed my head started hurting more (all over and in general more towards the back). I decided to take a nap. After I woke up, my head at the back hurt even more and has progressed the rest of the night. I have a fever, have a dry cough and feel sick to my stomach. The pain is severe.. it feels like someone is cutting my head open while at the same time... trying to squeeze my brain into a ball. I have cried for the past hour it has hurt so much, and it doesn't look like it is going to go down. I have tried tylenol but it does absolutely nothing for the pain. Does anyone have any tips as to how to get the pain to go down, or even as to what it is?

I can't stand for 30 min. without them hurting, & certain jobs require that I stand 8 hrs. straight. I really want to work these types of jobs, but I can't because of my feet. Mainly the arch of my feet hurt, but other parts hurt & swell. How can I remedy this problem? Thanks.

thrush is a yeast infection in the mouth I was just wondering will it come off the tongue if you brush it off with your tooth brush or will it stay there?

i am having a terrible cold, i was having slight fever and major headache the past two days, now the fever is gone, but i still have headache and cold sweating sometimes. and i have a stuffy nose"not so bad, but won't go away" I have taken so far, the Excedrin "extra strength", some cough medicine, and i just bought the Advil, Liqui-gels
I am wondering if that would help with the cold and the headache. because it says to relieve pain and headache due to "cold", does that mean that it will help me get through the headache due to cold as well as the cold? i feel so tired and dizzy, please help!

Every school day my stomach makes gassy noises in my first period class, study hall. I've started to eat during the class and I've considered bringing a bottle of water but I'm never hungry during the morning.

In my second period class I don't have any trouble at all, same with the rest of the day, but every day in first my stomach does the same thing. I think it may have to do with the fact that I really just sit there and don't do anything.

I don't get any stomach pains. It's more of an annoyance than a problem but it's terrible embarrassing because people think that it's another type of gas. Obviously I'm horrified by that.

Do I just need to eat even though I'm not hungry or something? I'm really curious as to why this is happening, if it's common and how to stop it.
