Please help me!!!?

Question

I'm only 12, but my mom is an RN and has been for more than 25 years, So a lot of it rubbed off, and I don't want to ask my mom, so here goes...I have Hypoglycemia and I recently heard that one of the problems with it is Heart Palpitations, I have done more reading on it, and know almost all of the symptons by heart thanks to my mother, but I have every symptom but 2 of them, so, could I have Heart Palpitations? I have been looking a lot of medical reports up online, and almost every symptom matches perfectly, but...I even have Low blodd Pressure, (And of course Low blodd sugar), But I'm not fat or starving, why am I getting these problems?? One more question, I have horrible pain that shoots up my right knee, I fell out of a tall tree a while ago, and it still hurts like there's no tomorrow, Why does it hurt so bad? It's been hurting so bad, that lately I havn't been bending it nearly at all, I know that's not good for it, but it doesn't hurt as bad if I don't bend it..Please Help me!

I'm under my big sissy's name.

But my head keeps hurting and it is just awful, I hate it so bad, I'll stand up, and I feel like passing out...I'll walk no more than a foot at it's worse..WHY!?

I CANT TELL MY MOM!! She told me "Don't climb that tree!" And if she ginds out that I did, and got HURT!! SHE'LL KILL ME!!! WHAT DO I DO!?

Answer 1

The old adage, "physician heal thyself" still reads true, however based on your tender age, and regardless of your mom's education, I sincerely ask, how qualified are you to dismiss the need for treatment when your body is speaking loudly and clearly to you? It's not the heart palpitations which are of concern so much. It's your knee which requires attention.

While heart palpitations might become an issue if they are lengthy and persistent (which it seems they are not), your knee is absolutely screaming for attention.

Heart palpitations could be for any number of reasons - your age and perhaps personality/anxiety levels, diet with too many stimulants such as sugar or caffeine, or natural hormonal changes in your body. IF these palpitations and your low blood sugar get out of control, and you are not living according to your body's needs (you do eat protein for breakfast, right?), then check on it.

But right now, you've got bigger fish to fry by looking after THAT KNEE. What's holding you back?

Try not to over-analyze, or over-coddle yourself with too much "half knowledge" and admit when you don't have all the answers. Be the bigger person and seek outside advice from a trained professional...

So get off the internet already and go do it!

Answer 2

If you are afraid to tell your Mom, please find an adult that you do trust to help you. Any type of medical concerns should be investigated thoroughly. You might consider talking to your teacher or the school nurse for advice. They would be able to access the situation and determine if you need medical attention.

Don't wait. I'm a Mom and I didn't listen to my 17 year old complaining about stomach and back pains. I thought it was just normal aches and bruises that any kid playing sports would encounter. So we waited, too long . . . turns out he had a stage IV cancer with a volley ball size tumor growing unihibited within the abdominal cavity. The tumor had 'seeded' and sent out hundreds of tiny, small, and microscopic cancer throughout his body. He is currently fighting for his life.

If you have concerns, please share them with a trusted adult as soon as possible. Insist that they listen to you.

Good luck (and I hope it is nothing more than growing pains). :-)

Good Luck KID, I think you are full of it! I'm attaching something that I hope will help you because you need to get tougher. I spent a lifetime in the US Marines and I'm also a former Rodeo Clown and Bull Rider. I grew up in a different time than you, but we were tuff back then and you can be also! Hope this helps you grow up!
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the
1930s '40s, '50s, '60s and ‘70s!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.


They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.


Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright- colored, lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention the risks we took hitchhiking.


As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.


Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.


We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.


We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and NO ONE actually died from this.


We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!


We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.


No one was able to reach us all day. And we were okay.


We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes! After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.


We did not have Play stations, Nintendo’s, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video-tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS, and we went outside and found them!


We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.


We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls, and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.


We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!


Little League had tryouts, and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!


The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!


This generation has produced some of the best risk takers, problem solvers, and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.


We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!







And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!


You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our "own" good.
Good Luck Buddy, Hope you grow up and become a man.

Heart palpitations aren't that big of a deal, I get them every so often, and have for many years. you can feel your heart beat faster for a few seconds. I wouldn't worry about that.

what you should worry about is getting your leg checked out.

Answer 5

Your best bet is to go ahead and tell your mom. Because it's a chance that you may have torn muniscus in you knee. So, don't let fear keep you sick. Your mom will forgive you,ok? T-2
