I drank some Chai (spiced tea and hot milk) thinking the warm milk would help me sleep - now I am having the classical "can't sleep, mind is wandering, boy I must have had caffiene" thing going on.

I thought about trying benedryl - anyone know of anything else that might help me sleep?

Why do ambulances charge money? I don't understand since we pay so much tax here in the U.S.?

Normally we would only peed in bed when we were little. But then when I was in high school, 14-15 years old, I started to pee in bed a few time (well not every night, its more like twice a year - but still weird) and then I stopped, I would woke up and go to the toilet myself. But just recently, I peed twice in two weeks! I had a dream that I went to the toilet but end up I was peeing in bed! No one knows about this, I'm too embarrassed to tell my mom. But do you think I have some kind of a psychological problem? Cause I heard a few times and read a few article that if we peed in bed after the age of 8, then it's not normal and it could be associated with a psychological problem. Well, I live a normal life, my parents loved me, and I'm happy with my life - so I don't think I have that problem. Whats wrong with me?! Have anyone of you experience this?

What are some of the problems associated with dehydration? I try to drink a lot of water but feel like I need more. When I drink more I often pee more and I feel like maybe I can't hydrate fully. Anyone have any idea about why?

I don't get it. I see it on those "Donate to poor Africans" shows where they show starving Africans, but some of them have such big stomachs, while others have such small stomachs, that you can practically see their ribcage because they're so hungry.

What causes their stomachs to bulge so much?

I have a friend thats been having a hard time falling asleep. He works at PF Chang's at Planet Hollywood. He usually work til 12-1 AM. and then when he comes home, he isn't sleepy until 6 in the morning (or he would be tired, but he'll just lie in bed unable to fall asleep), but he has class at 9. I'm really worried about him.
Does anyone know why he's having a hard time falling asleep?

I got into a fight two months ago, and i had a side tooth fall out. It was painful and my doctor prescribed me Vicodins. I've been taking them everyday and even abused and lied about losing my pills to get more from the pharmacy and even lied about going on vacation to get more. I stopped for about 3 days now, and i find myself being extremely depressed, for no reason. Anyone experience anything similar?

Starting Tuesday afternoon I started to feel some pressure in my left ear, by Tuesday night it was clear that my eustachian tube was blocked.

I've had a cold all week so I'm fairly positive this is all it is, and there are no signs of infection (fever, pain, etc). It's now Thursday evening, and it doesn't seem to be clearing up... How long should I expect this to last, or should I be going to a doctor? Thanks in advance

Okay so today I was in the shower and had the water on really hot. After a few minutes it was kind of hard to breathe so I turned down the temp and was trying to finish quickly, but then I started to feel dizzy. At one point I felt so dizzy that I had to grab the wall to steady myself. Finally I knew I couldn't stay in there any longer or I was gonna pass out so I gave up on finishing and got out. I had to sit straight down on the floor to keep from passing out. I also felt so nauseous at this point that I even got that gross watery mouth thing you get before you puke. I finally got up and sat on the toilet instead, but didn't feel any better and waited a little longer before finally standing and grabbing a towel and heading to my room where I pretty much threw myself on the bed to keep from fainting. Any ideas why?

When I walk far, I become breathless.
And the other day I was blowing on my nails to dry them (for a couple of seconds), and felt as If I'd pass out.
My mom commented that I also breath heavy.

Is something wrong?

I'm fourteen, and not overweight or anything.

The skin under my eyes and especially where my eyes meet my nose darker than the rest of my skin. These bags make me look unhealthy and i want to get rid of them. I now regularly drink a glass of milk before bed as i was told this will help but there does not seem to be any differences.I at usually in bed by 9.00 pm but i find it very hard to doze off and usually stay up in my bed thinking for the first hour or so.I try to relax and this used to be a lot worse as it would take me up to 3 hours longer ago.I sometimes yawn throughout the day but when i arrive home from school tired i try to have a nap but i cannot get to sleep. feel i do not eat a total healthy balanced diet, but i do not eat unhealthily either. I don't get 5 fruits and veg a day, is this the cause? I also regularly find it hard to concentrate at home whilst i study.& i somtimes feel that i need some brainfood to awaken my brain should i change my diet? what is causing this? should i see my gp???

Hi, I have suffered from dizziness for the past 16 months. I went to see my GP about it and they did blood tests which all came back fine. I went back about a month later and they suggested it could be to do with diet, my dietician was convinced that it wasn't but tried different things, none of them worked.
I went back a couple of times and on the last time got told that I would just have to live with it.

I have now changed my GP surgury.
A couple of weeks ago I went to see the new GP who decided to do blood tests, i have now had a letter from her saying that other health professionals have looked into this problem in great depth so she isn't going to do any further investigation!

I also have a mental health problem and my psychologist doesn't want to give me anything until my dizziness is sorted but nobody will look into it.

I really feel I need to go back because the dizziness has been really bad lately but I'm scared to go due to this letter.

What can I do?

Someone told me years ago that if you take a certain vitamin (or something like that) when you have a cold it gets rid of it double quick. Any ideas? I have a stag night tomorrow and the way I feel right now, I'm not going to enjoy it. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
