General Health Care - June 2007

My heart rate is really fast, and slightly irratic. I'm 15, I eat unusually healthy for my age, I'm female, not on period at the moment. No meds I am taking cause fast heart rates. I am athletic, but not overly so. I am underweight. I do have a tendency to become stressed easily. I have been on the computer for a while, but I took a break to see if that helped and I noticed no change. Any Ideas of what is wrong with me and how can I slow my heart rate down to a decent pace?

standing about 10 minutes and all of a sudden I got a feeling as though I was on an elevator. Not dizzy light headed no light changes like when you stand up too quickly, only the elevator feeling. Now this isnt the first time just the most recient. Its one of those things I kinda ignore and "keep truckin" like and annoying sinus headach. Is this normal? Should I see a doctor?

As I was putting a heavy bag under the stairs next to my freezer I held it over thinking there was something underneath, there wasn't and my arm banged onto the edge of the freezer and I heard a crack I managed to put a bandage on only I was told not to, so shall I take it off? It's sore and there is a blue bruise in a line where I caught it, have put witch hazel on it.

Hey, my friend got stitches , but is complaining that their hand (where the stitch is) is being pulled to the left side.

See, they have a cut on the side of their wrist/palm and they said that when they try to move it their wrist gets pulled the opposite direction. Is that normal?

Looking to hear from anyone with advice on muscle workouts or lifestyle changes to lesson knee pain/degeneration following patellar dislocation and athroscopy to clean cartilage up. I am a former professional athlete-the medical specialists at my level just sort of put you out to pasture like an old horse. I'm just trying to maintain an active lifestyle , not play sport anymore and halt further joint problems. So any advice or thoughts welcome.

I was told several different things such as; remove anything from around them so they don't hurt themselves, turn them on their side, leave them alone and call 911. I would obviously call 911, however, what should I do?

when i was about 18,19 i took about 10 lortabs (500-750 Acetaminophen each) within an hour or two. took 2, then to increase it effect kept taking them thinking the high would be better not knowing the very very harmful deed i was doing to my body. anyway, i ended up falling asleep, a few hours later woke up and felt very ill and starting puking for about 30 minutes straight then felt better and went back to sleep. later that night felt much better and the next day felt even more normal, then days later felt great. i am now 22 and just was reading and saw about liver damage and the effects of more than 4000 in a day can kill you or cause severe liver damage. do i need to go to the doctor now to see if i am suffering from liver damage or cirrohisis of the liver (sp?) This has caused me great anxiety and now fear i have a bad liver because of this, it was the only time, and i hardly ever drank. that was all i did for that day, took nothing else, and didn't touch another pill or alcholoc beverage for a good half a year after that. please advice. as of now i have no symptoms of any type of liver disfunction, should i see a doctor anyway or has this event passed and I should no worry ? thanks.
