I have been very tired lately as well as having tingling sensations in my arms and legs. Also last night at work I got dizzy and light headed and almost passed out. I took my blood pressure and it was 130/100. I know this is high and I am going to have it looked at. What I was wondering is if any one with high blood pressure has had similar or even different symptoms?

Yesterday I had shooting pains down the one leg. By the end of the day, I feel way better and have no trouble working out. My mattress and sleeping positions have not changed. Maybe I am stressed when I sleep?

I am looking for something that will supress my appetite. I dont want to take something that is going to make me "jittery," like an amphetimine. If anyone knows of anything that works, please, let me know. Thanks!

I've just got really bad cramps and I try to take medicine, but it doesn't seem to help. Does anyone know of a way I can help ease the pain in the meantime? Walking? Laying down?

I have what looks like a rug burn on the side of my upper leg from falling when i was walking on the treadmill. It is pretty large and covers the side of my upper leg, but it is not very deep, only in some areas. What can I do to help it heal a lot faster, and should i go to the doctor?

Feels like it seperated at the sternum. Is that even possible???
I knew that being overweight was bad, but this is ridiculous! Am I in danger? Or will this heal fairly soon?

How do people with arthritis get these things open? The paper on the back rips apart when you try to peel it off. There must be an easier way.

I was carrying my computer to move it to a different table, but it slipped out of my hands and fell on to the top of my foot. I cant really touch it because of the pain, and it is very slightly bruised and swollen. My sister said it is broken and that i should go and see a doctor, but im not sure what to do as i can still walk on it.

I've been running at least a mile on a treadmill for a little over a month and I've got pain in my shins. I'm thinking they're shin splits but there's no swelling or anything (for the record, I'm not exactly sure what shin splints are; I've heard so many things from so many people I'm not sure what to believe). Anyway, I rested them over the weekend (helped someone move) and the pain subsided. But now it's Thursday and the pain is back.

What are the best shoes or insoles to buy to help reduce the pain? Any type of pain killer of anything I can do to help this?

P.S. I'm NOT going to stop running. I rest on weekends and that seems to be enough for now,but it's a MUST that I do this so not running, unfortunately, is out of the question.

I recently started a mild workout plan to help me lose weight, but I have developed knee pain (both legs) in the last month or so (the therapists at the physical therapy gym I go to say I'm doing the exercises right, so 'form' isn't the problem). My doctor also put me on Cosamin DS and MSM in Nov. '06, when I didn't have any pain, to help "protect" my joints and I've been following the directions. Anyone have any advice for me and my aching knees? Thanks!

Please help every so often i get these mild cramping pains in my right hip. I’m not sure whether it’s my appendix because it isn't very painful I just clench my fist for a moment then it goes away. This only occurs very rarely and there is no set pattern to the pain which leads me to believe that it has something to do with my diet or amount of exercise I do each day. I am slightly worried that it is my appendix. My mum has had her appendix out ...does that necessarily mean I will too?

I am having terrible pain/numbing sensation in my right hand. The pain wakes me up at night and is constant throughout the day. It doesn't occur always or every day. I dislocated my right elbow (tore ligaments and muscle) 2 yrs ago. My orthopedic doctor said i was healed a year later. My elbow is fine. I wonder if it could be nerve damage, if so why would it happen now and not then. the pain (numbing/tingling sensation) started approx. 6- 8 months ago. nothing seems to help. Again it only lasts for about 3 days at a time then just as quickly as it comes it goes. Any advice as far as measures to aleve the pain.

Pill is:
pink, has imprint of a character that looks like a capitol "P" but the curve of the P doesnt meet up completely with the stem. Then, directly below is the number 75. The pill is round and not very big.
IF YOU KNOW FOR SURE WHAT THIS IS.....PLEASE answer right away, with a link to a photo (IF AT ALL POSSIBLE)!!!!
ASAP!
thank you!
