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.

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!

long story short, this morning i had cereal for breakfast [corn flakes], afterwards, i felt something in the back left corner of my throat. after many tries to swallow it, its still there and more irritating than ever [hurts a little bit as well].
ive been drinking a lot of water, with no luck, is there anything else i can do to help get it out from that spot so i can swallow it?

I am scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow and have been preparing all day. I have had 3 oz. of phospho-soda and 2 laxatives. Now I think I have developed a hemmoroid. Is this common and how does it go away. Will it affect the colonoscopy? I will discuss it with my doctor tomorrow but in the meantime wonder if anyone else has experienced the same thing?

Ok, this is really getting to be annoying. Three weeks straight I've had this upper eye lid twitch. I swear it happens about 5-6 X a day and its annoying. I also experience a lower eye lid twitch in the other eye. Can this be something serious? I read about it online and it says it can be caused by stress, lack of sleep. I'am on the computer a lot, as its my job.

i have seen my GP about my chest problems and somewhat circulation/nerve problems (im not entirely sure what the cause is as i have so much pain all around the body, mainly my chest)..

he gave anti-depressants and reffered me to a cardiologist. Still it has not gone..
All the cardioligist did was do an ECG and a heart pump test thingy? i was quite displeased because after the wait of an hour just to see a cardioligist he joked that i was too young to have heart problems, i was annoyed and quite sad.. i was hoping for more tests like treadmill etc.

I want to have as many tests done as possible.
im now unsure of what to do next, is it my GPs fault or the cardioligists fault?

i want a full scan of the body (preferbly an MRI and things like that) but i dont know where to look or find a doctor who will actually listen to me. If i ask a doctor for further testing they wont do it.

ive been choking in my sleep recently and waking up due to chest pain. ive been coughing alot too recently.

I have varicose veins in my inner calves. The other day one was a little red and tender but not that painful. Went to doctor anyways and he said it was phelbitis and not to worry as it is in a vein that won't throw a clot to my system or anything. Anyways, the next day there is a huge black an blue bruise-y mark that does not hurt at all unless I push on it. The knots are there but much smaller. Soooo, is it normal to have a vein "burst" like this? Does it mean the clot is just being re-absorbed now? I have no insurance and really want to avoid another 100 dollar-you're just fine trip...

I was just wondering what causes people to get an itch (i dont mean through rashes,insect bites etc) i just mean a random itch and why does it feel good to scratch it??

scratching without an itch dosen't feel good and can sometimes hurt yet with an itch it can be so good to just scratch that itchy area.

This is a serious question so if anyone knows the scientific reason then please let me know but if you just want to tell me your theory then go ahead

Thanks

I'm a minor with ADD. For the past several weeks (almost a month) I couldn't sleep.I live near the freeway and many cars past by my house at night . I once switched bedrooms with my sibilings and slept well in her room. She didn't have any problems in my room except it was quite hot.
I tried everything my doctor recomended me and what I could think of ,but so far none could help me. Here's what I tried:
-warm milk
-spraying lavender on my pillow
-reading a book
-avoiding caffine, computers, and TV
-sleeping (or attempting to ) at 10:30
-clean room
-turn on radio
-earplugs and eyepatch
-fan

A couple of weeks ago I passed out in a store. No one could bring me around right away. I could hear everyone but they seemed far away like they were in a tunnel. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital. All their tests were normal. They said that I needed to follow up with a family doctor and a cardiologist. That I should have a stress test. I have no health insurance.
The next day I felt like I was going to pass out again and my blood pressure/pulse were up.
Last Monday, I was at home and felt like I was going to pass out and it was hard to talk because of the stiffness on the left side of my face. That side of my face was twitching as well. I was fine in the ER until I had to stand up then I would almost pass out again. Again their tests were normal and after a while I was feeling fine. They said I needed to follow up with a family doctor.

My eyes opened up, but I couldn't move my body at all. All I could do was hear my heartbeat. I thought I was dying in my sleep. Finally I could move, but It was really scary and weird. Has this ever happened to anyone before?
