I am having PVCs (that was the diagnosis from my cardiologist) and was wondering about other people that get them- Do you think they can be from a lack of activity? I was in the hospital and on bed rest for almost two months... I am also on Prescription Potassium because it is always really low...I am just wondering what to do to help them go away - I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest, and it is a little scary?? Im 29 and would like to start working out to get my strength back but I am nervous that they will get worse??Advice??

Hello I am Riyasa from Sri Lanka. I have two children 6 yearrs old daughter and one year old son. I wish to let you know of an incident which broke my son's arm bone. I was about to get ready to go to my daughter's school to collect her when I gave my son to the babysitter, after a minute he started crying so without getting ready to go I came and carried him and soothed him thinking that he was crying because I gave him to her, but he cried for one hour and he slept afterwards, then after he woke he started crying and several minutes later I noticed a swelling on his left arm and also he did not move it like he used to, so I suspected something and asked the babysitter but she said he just started crying then I took him to the doctor , they took Xray of his arm, showing that his bone was broken , then he was given anaesthesia several hours later and they put this heavy plaster. I have to keep him with the plaster till march 21st. Till his bone grows back to it's normal self.

DOES ANYONE HAS BEEN IN THE SAME SITUATION AS ABOVE. I AM WORRIED BECAUSE HE IS SO SMALL, WELL HE IS SMALLER THAN THE OTHER BABY'S OF HIS AGE BECAUSE HE DOES NOT DRINK ANY OTHER MILK EXCEPT FOR MY BREAS MILK BUT I TRY MY BEST TO GIVE HIM ALL THE OTHER FOOD. ALSO I AM WORRIED ABOUT HIS HAND MOVEMENTS, BONE STREANGTH, IF ANYONE CAN HELP I WOULD BE GRATEFUL THANKS. DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THE AFTER CARE I MEAN AFTER THEY REMOVE THE PLASTER? PLEASE HELP ME.

It's kinda looks like when you see flashes when you look at the sun for a long time, but it isnt just in one place of my eye its black flashed and i cant see and i about fall down. People tell me it looks like a blank stare, and it only last for about 5-10 seconds.

I am only 18 and I just started seeing a neurologist.He only gives me prevention medication. The first thing he gave was working, but it made me really nauseous, gave me anxiety and made my body feel weird.I stopped taking that and now I am on Pamalor. I still get headaches, just not everyday. Right now I am on my period and I have had a headache the past 7 days. It goes away when I sleep and then 5 minutes after I woke up I already have one.I usually take Motrin but that does not work that good anymore,I was up to taking 3 sometimes twice a day.Tylenol and Excedrin dont work. I just started taking Aleve and it works okay but the headaches still come back.I have been to get a CAT scan and an MRI and everything is fine, as well as my blood work. I get my eyes checked every year.When they are really bad, I will try to massage my temples and neck and I will put a cold water bottle on my head, which helps temporarily but it still comes back. I just am tired of not feeling good everyday.

I keep waking up in cold sweats in the night. Soaking wet from head to toe. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? I'm in 40 years old and I'm not even close to the change, so that couldn't be it. It's not too hot at night or anything like that. Any ideas?

He has the "boxer" break in his left hand... ER put on a temporary cast until he can be seen by a specialist. Is there ANY way other than ice/elevation/pain pills to help ease the pain??? He's a tough guy and is seriously struggling, and I feel so bad for him.

My boyfriend is having really bad pains on the right side of his chest, kinda below the pec, near upper ribs. The doctor said it was probably a pulled muscle, but it's getting worse, and hurts more to breathe in. Also, it has a weird gurgly feeling when he inhales. I can even feel it if i put my hand on it. Is this a pulled muscle or something else?
