General Health Care - December 2006

Yesterday morning, I put some vicks on my chest and fell back asleep for no more than 15 minutes. I woke up, and started rubbing my eyes, forgetting I had vicks on my hands. It's now a day later and my eyes are still extremely red and bloodshot, and are very glassy. Almost to the point where it looks like I am crying, but I'm not. I tried rinsing my eyes our with water, but that didn't do anything. This isn't fun! What do I do? I can't find any help anywhere, and I have finals tomorrow and don't want to go to class looking like I'm either posessed or stoned out of my mind.. lol :) Any help will be appreciated

It happens sometimes when we sleep too much or lack of sleep never been worry bcause the eyelids will even out in a few days or so. My three month daughter is having the same problem for almost a month already. She always sleep enough and it happened after the redness on her forhead and eyelids but they all gone. How come her eyelids still uneven? Doc. said it's normal, I know that but her eyelids?

The horse I was riding yesterday morning fell down and I fell off. About 20 minutes after the fall my arm started hurting about an inch below my shoulder. It hurts more as time goes by. What are the signs of it being broken, how long should I wait to call the doctor? Thanks.

I rear ended a van last october. My car was smashed about two feet in on the passenge side. I went to the ER the next day. The doctor there told me that I had spastic muscles and that they where pinching my nerves. I had a shocking pain that ran down my arm and beleive it or not my right breast would vibrate here and there. It was about three months when those symtoms passed. But now a year later, I have a awful pain in the left side of my neck. there are only a few positions that I can rotate my neck with out it hurting. The pain goes from my bottom neck on my spine and shoots to the left side. I'm going to set up a doctors appointment as soon as my insurance kicks in. But the pain is just so annoying and I'm afriad I might move the wrong way and make it worse.

Can anybody give me advice on what I should do?
I have IBS, and even tho stress, anxiety and nervousness are some of the main factors for my IBS, I get morning shock every day, especially in the winter when its colder. I turn the thermostat high, wear lots of layers and sleep with an electric heating blanket, but when I wake up my body goes into shock and irritates my stomach really badly! (especially when i step outside). The only way I have avoided morning shock to my stomach is to wake up later in the afternoon (when it's warmer), but obviously I cannot do this everyday! Any advice? My doctor has been helpless.

Is there a place on the neck, that if pushed with pressure, can cause someone to blackout. If so, how long does it cause the person to blackout for, and are there any down-sides to this

Many Thanks,
