My cardiolgist told me to start taking fish oil tablets every day, so I did for awhile then started slacking. Now I have to go see him on 4/18 and explain why I stopped taking them. I just could never remember to take them.

I'm 15, and lately i've been feeling tired Quite frequently. i normally get around 6-7 hours a sleep on a weekday and weekends 9-10 hours. My mom tells me that i need 10-12 hours of sleep a night and friends say 7 hours is a good amount.

I personally hate sleeping(unless i am already sleeping then i don't wanna wake up lol) so i usually get 6 hours of sleep a night.

Now i'm wondering if i need to start increasing the amount of sleep, or am i just going through a growth spurt and my body just needa little bit of extra energy.

Thanks fer any help

I'm on my school's track team and I've had shin splints for about a month or a month and a half and I've been icing them a lot and putting bengay, so they've been feeling better (does bengay really help???) but now my left ankle hurts more but my right legs better and im still limping when i try running or go down the stairs. should i keep running? my parents want me to go to a doctor if it continues but i dont know if i really need a doctor. i really want to run because ive sat out practice icing for two weeks but i dont want to hurt myself more!

Since last Friday I've been have a kind of queasy feeling in my stomach. On Friday and Saturday, it was all day and since Sunday it's been on and off every once in a while. It seems worse in the morning when I wake up and then it gets better throughout the day. Late afternoon to before I go to bed it seems to be the best.

Sometimes after I eat, and throughout the day, it feels like gas and I burp and that seems to help. However, it seems like it always comes back. I'm wondering if it's because I've been thinking of something a lot, and thinking that it might possibly be stress? It also doesn't feel too bad when I'm not thinking about that certain thing that I mentioned.

Could this be a light case of the stomach flu? I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea what this could be and if you know of anything to do for it. Thanks.

I was streching this morning and I hurt teh left side of my neck. I just raised my arms and tilted my neck to the right. After that the left side of my neck tightned up and it hurts really bad. Mostly my bottom left, neck towards the back of the neck hurts the most. It spreads from there to my shoulders.

I wanted to take a muscle relaxer but...I'm only 15. Is it dangerous? Will it stop my heart?

What could I do about this...?

After a hard night of drinking, some say that the smell comes out of your pores. This doesn't seem right to me, as alcohol generally leaves the body through the lungs. Is that just nasty breath that one smells on a drunk?

ok.. Well, 4 years ago I broke my ankle jumping off a swing and I never went to the doctor... Since it was broken it really annoys me now ... How do I brake my ankle so I can get treatment and not suffer the pain any longer, because I waited to long and now they can't do anything about it? No too outragous ideas like jumping off a roof or a car..

i thought this would heal on its own, i had no nasal conjestion or was not spitting up phlegm. as the days went by i got worse, i had sore legs and arms, an extremely sore throat and my ears were conjested as i could not hear properly, i went to see the doctor and was told i had a high temp, and my chest sounded very bad, as i was up most night coughing and had no appetite. i was prescribed prednisolone and amoxyllin. alas the aches have gone but my chest still sounds quite bad, i have taken all the steroids and have a few anti biotics left to take, but i have noticed i have developed a bit of a rash on one arm and on the palms of both my hands, could this be to do with the medication or should i seek medical attention?

By acedent yesterday I rammed into the doorknob and today it really hurt when I would touch the spot.Today I can see a slight blue spot, but not very visible. It hurts about 3 inches from my wrist up on my radius. When I touch it, it hurts but I feel like there is a small bump. What is it? Will it go away soon?

It's been going on and off for two weeks. However, when I start moving around and getting more active they go away. I dont have a fever accompanying them, and after I take some tylenol they seem to go away.

In the last 3 weeks, I've been rushed to hospital 5 times with severe pains in my stomach and back and had to have morphine to control the pain, (the pain is brought on by no specific food) I'm having an op on 4 July to have gallbladder removed but what I want to know is, is there ANYTHING my doc can prescribe for me that will stop the pain so I don't have to go into hospital in the middle of the night and stay for 3 days at a time, I have 3 children and it's just not possible to keep going into hospital, codeine doesn't touch it.

I was laid off from my job last month so i no longer have insurance. About a week ago I noticed my left ear started feeling like there was water or something in there cause it was stufted up. I didnt think anything of it and just let it be. Then last thursday i woke up with such a bad painfull pain, all weekend i had to suffer thru it, i was taking lots of pain pills. I have a doctors appointment today at a clinic but i have to pay $70.00 that i really dont have to spare. do i really need to go to the doctor or will it just go away on its own. The pain is pretty much gone but its still cloged up, sometimes i can hear it make kind of like poping sounds.
