Tuesday night I passed out at work, and apparently stopped breathing. Amongst other things, the EMT pushed VERY hard and shook my upper chest (slightly above, and in between my breasts).

It is VERY sore, and seems swollen.

Generally, how long will this pain last, and will it bruise? How long would it take for the bruise to appear - or would it have already?

My boyfriend has a severe pinched never in his right shoulder.I have tried different things to help it but it seems like it does a little bit but not good enough where he can get some sleep.So now he takes sleeping pills to help him get some sleep and i massage his shoulder alot every night for hours on end to help with the pain.he has seen doctors and had x-rays done and a few other things and even meds to help it but thats not working either so im hoping someone will give me some answers to other things to try to do with his shoulder to help it.Thanks to anyone that can help me with this.

I was told it is supposed to work in a week and I have been taking it for over a week but I am still breaking out. Some people have said it turns your teeth yellow and you can't get them white again is that true?

Does being on the computer and sitting about 5 feet away from the screen harm my eyesight? Would looking away every now and then help?

How many hours a day could I be on the computer without harming my eyesight?

I've had it for about 3 days, I've not been in any type of car accident. It hurts a little when I turn from side-to-side, and some just during everyday activities (standing, walking, etc.), but not terribly.......when it's really bad if when I have to "push off" and use certain muscles, like getting up off the couch, turning over in bed, or getting out of bed. When I grab the back of my neck & squeeze it, as I get out of bed, it's somewhat better. Almost using my own fingers as a brace.....

What might this be?

I'm 12, and I've never been able to swallow tablets before, mainly because I don't have the guts to do it, because I think I'll choke, or it'll taste rank. But I have a really sore throat, so I'm gonna have to.

Whats the best way to do it? How? Any suggestions or tips would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance;D

...drive to the emergency room right now. I'm alone in the house, but my cousin is next door. It started when I had a cold glass of water as soon as I came in from work two hours ago, I've been told that could cause it. I can't think of anything else to do but drink some alcohol, here's the catch. I'm having a moral issue with it because I'm a recovering addict and NA recommends I don't use alcohol even if my thing used to be cocaine not alcohol. I've been clean for over two years, but I have had a drink here and there, and have been able to stop without going on a bender. So I guess the question is will alcohol ease my heartbeat, or at least relax me? How much should I have? Rum, wine, what? S#it! If it's going to help put my heart back in gear I don't really have any moral issues but stay alive. Please help.
