This has happened 3 or 4 times in the past month and I am getting concerned. I wake up in the middle of the night, coughing. I end up vomitting, but not a whole lot, (sorry to be so descriptive) but about a mouthful. It is pinkish in color, no matter what I ate previously. I have no warning when I go to sleep that it is going to happen. Sometimes it is within an hour after I go to sleep, other times it is hours. Please help. What can I do to alivate this. Right now, it is 5 in the morning and it just happened. All of this is accompanied by burning in my throat, but no heart burn. I tried taking some Pepto, rinsing my mouth out, and smoking a cigarette. My throat still burns as if someone poured acid in it.

I broke a rib(maybe a few) several months ago and I never went to the doctor, I know that was stupid, but too late now... Anyway, after like 2 months they started to be tolerable and eventually they only hurt on occasion, however today they are hurting almost as bad as back when I actually broke them, is this normal or should I be worried?... Also, lately, my breathing has been harder to catch, when I do breathe it is slightly more frequent, it hurts to yawn, cough, sigh, breathe, move, lay down, sit, sleep, talk, etc... In addition I have been coughing a lot last few days, and when I put pressure on ribs its more frequent (in fact, I only cough at night or when laying down...)

I tore a muscle thatv affects my back and my abdomin about seven years ago. I still have pain every once in awhile. I want to get on a roller coaster and want to know if I'm going to cause further injury. I never went to physio therapy and I really want to get on a roller coaster. I want to have fun and I'm really looking forward to this. Please, can anyone tell me from a professional point of view or personal experience?

I am almost 18 now.
I have been having severe leg pain attacks since I was about 15 years old. The past couple of years it seems to have gotten more severe. Now days, I have the pain almost every night.
It occurs in the evening and the pain is in my thighs.
It's so excruciating I even cried today.
pain killers, ice, and heat do not help anymore.
There has to be something else really wrong.
I have not injured myself at all and I have no health problems. I am not over weight or underweight.
please, can anyone help me?

To get some peace and quiet? I need some realistic, quiet, peaceful, low cost places....and no locking myself in a car or closet does not count.

I got a cold sore 3 days ago. I've gotten them plenty of times, so I began to put Carmex, a lip balm, on it. A few days before, I was hit in the lip with a soccer ball :(, and my lip on the right side swelled. Now, with my new cold sore, the left side of my lip has began to swell, too. Let me just say that I now have a GIGANTIC bottom lip. What helps swelling quickest?

I am writing this for my husband. He is currently laying in a dark room, trying to get away from the pain. Five days ago the doc said he just had a scratched cornea after he was complaining that his eye hurt (said it felt like his contact was folded in half in his eye). Then the pain went into his head. A new doc two days later said he had an infection and that was causing extreme pain to the middle of his head. A doc today said he may have Shingles in his head. His eye is red and he says it feels like needles are poking his eye ball with extreme pain in his head and right behind the eye. He is crouched over from the pain in his head. He can see, but his eye is very teary and maybe even swollen. The doc gave him anit-inflamitory meds and meds to kill a virus. Nothing is helping. It has gotten prgressively worse and worse over the course of four days. He had a lot of stress in his life two weeks ago. Don't know what else to do. He cannot sleep and lies awake all night.

For a few years now, I have become an unsound sleeper. I've thought about going to a doctor, but for some reason can't bring myself to mention it when I go in for my physicals. Without OTC sleeping pills, I would be up all night--- if I'm lucky, I'd get 2-3 hours of sleep without and pills. Obviously, I know I need to speak to my doctor about this, but what tips do you have, especially those of you who might be/may have been in this situation before?

I have pain in my left unla when waking up that spans about 2 inches. Pain began about 2 weeks ago. Any ideas on what might cause this to occur? The pain seems to ease off greatly when I am awake, but returns upon waking. I am not involved in sports or have had no injuries. My only pre-existing conditions are hypothyroid and insulin dependent type 2 diabetes. (injected insulin). Thank you in advance.

Hey 2 days ago I started to feel very tired and worn out. I thought maybe it was the heat so i drank a lot of fluids. The next day I went down to my parents for my mother's bday and my grandfather was with us which he is a MD for about 50 years and still practicing at 84 years old. He checked my lungs and heart and said everything sounded fine and my blood pressure was very good. I dont know what this can be he said it may be from allergies or the fact that I live with my fiance in her parents place and the parents smoke all the time. I woke up today and I just feel terrible sore legs and my body is hot with a sore throat and even my face is hot its not a fever though I did not have one last night and it still doesnt feel like I do. someone shed some light
