General Health Care - August 2007

I sweat during sleep when I'm first going to bed (my bed is also a leather couch, that I put a sheet over). I wake up in the middle of the night with my sheets soaked in sweat, however its not a cold sweat and I don't wake up sweating. Is it just the case that my body is overheating before and while I sleep ? Its mainly started in the past few weeks because where I have been living in NY has been hot and humid everyday even at night (you can go out at 3:30 a.m. like I just did to have a cigarette and it's miserably hot and humid) and the window A/C isn't fully cooling the apt. ?

I am about 14 years old. And it started a while ago. Like a year ago. Iuno. Once every 1-2 months, I have this pain in my stomach. I know its not a cramp or a stomach ache. I think it might be ulcers. I cant really describe the symptom. The pain is off and on. I heard that if you dont eat when your supposed to, you'd have ulcers. So if I eat more often, will the 'ulcers' go away? If its not ulcers, can anyone help me find out what it is? Is this unnormal for a 14 year old to have ulcers? What can I do to help treat it?

for awhile now I've had this crackling sensation going on in my ears as well as the back of my neck. when I move my head i can hear it, and when I swallow and open my mouth all the way my ears crackle too. Sometimes I can even feel it going on in the back of my head. Wasn't sure if it was sinus, ear infection or what, but before it happened my left ear was hurting bad and now they're both hurting every now and then, and I'll get some ringing. I kind of feel some pressure going on in there. Didn't know if it was swimmers ear cause i went swimming about a month ago, or perhaps from work because I work around airplanes and didn't have my earplugs in while one was starting up and felt like my eardrum was gonna pop. can anyone rule this out or give me some pointers?

I've been having frequent chest pain more regularly than ever. I had it before but now it's like more frequent and unsuspecting.
I don't know how to describe the pain/feeling, but it's like something clawing it's way up my chest and the pain stops at my throat. I have no idea what his feeling/pain is. It's mild pain and it last for, like, 7 seconds.
Can anybody who's a doctor or just an average joe inform me about this chest pain?
I'd appreciate it.

I just got a cast off of my arm, and I need to be able to have full use of it in two weeks. I have to start with my elbow, then do my wrist. I had my arm in a cast because of tendons and ligaments...

I was making brownies and the glass pan sliped onto the part of my arm in between the wrist and the elbow in the inner part. It was a few days ago. I have a son and when I hold him it rubs it and hurts really bad, the skin is breaking. The burn was 2nd degree about 1 inch by 2 inches long. Can I cover it and will it still heal right if it is covered up? The blister already popped. It is really red and you can see the skin under the white skin. I don't know what i can do. It is not infected though.

I am sure I have fibromyalgia, I have all the symptoms, and have had DR treating each one individually. I have hard bad headaches, pain in my neck, lower back, my knees, tendons, elbows, wrists, and ankles. I have reflux, and am on Nexium, I have had irregular heart rythums, tingle and numbness in my hands and arms, my upper arms hurt when touched, Had hyst.. to help with bad periods, Now, am on Hormones, still moody, up and down. I have Irrit. bowels, and bladder. I have had CT scans, Xrays, MRI, and tons of blood work done. Everything OK. Did I mention, always have low blood pressure, and am on Sythnroid for very low thyroid. I feel like I am a pill popping junky, and seems like I am just touching the surface, and still hurt.??? Dr says, well.... I will have to look into that?? Low percentage people that have it, probably not likely? What else could it be, but Fibrom.. It is not in my head... It is miserable. I am an extremely active person..

Some friends of mine came over the other day and we went over to my buddy Jimmy's house and his parents were gone for the weekend. Anyways....my buddy that lived there, Dean,got out the water pipe and after we were really blasted he said we could smoke some of his Dads Viagra for a gag! We smoked about six pills that were all crushed up in the pipe! I feel fine today but Dean and his friend Phil were rushed to the Emergency Room this morning with high blood pressure related problems and Phil was freakin out saying weird stuff and all that! He was rambling on about flying on a mattress past his ex girlfriends house and he was saying to the doctors where he hid his adult magazines in case he died.
I feel ok today like I said but should I just go get checked out.
I'm a little embarassed cause my aunt is a nurse at the hospital and I don't need the family finding out we smoked that stuff! I looked up on the net what Viagra was and now I really feel dumb!

My Grandma-in-law is very old and her hands hurt a lot. She lives overseas (she is from Egypt) and it's not easy to buy good medicine for painful hands (and I'm guessing they are arthritic.) I'm currently in the States and I went to Walgreens the other day and was overwhelmed by the choices! What's the best ointment out there for this as I want to get her the best.

my boyfriend and i were arguing and he pushed me back and (it's hard to describe) kneeled (knelt?!) on my body, so his knees were a bit lower than my collarbone. I heard a crack which is understandable as his whole body weight was on me, and the next day a lump came up which was sooo painful, I couldn't lift my arm or anything and it went through to my back. 3 weeks later its a bit better but still very sore and the lump is still there. Does this sound like a broken rib?
