My friend is in pain. What should he do?

Posted by admin on July 31st, 2010

Question 1
My friend is in pain. What should he do?…  He has these flare-ups where out of no where he will get severe pain. I want him to go to a hospital or the immediate care center but he wont go. He wants to "work through the pain". He wont even take Aleve. How can I convince him to go?

Answers
1)   Force him into the car and drive to the doctor’s or the hospital. He’s not likley to jump out of a moving car. Well, I would try explaining to him that he means a lot to you, and you don’t like seeing him in pain. Maybe that will help. – imalovesicksinger

2)   im usually against being a tattle tale… but if you guys are both under 18 or living in your parents homes, you should talk to his parents about it and tell them how concerned you are about him… becuz you dont know if its normal or if something is seriously wrong and he should get it checked out. – Raina

3)   Do not take no for an answer! Take him to the hospital. What harm can it do? Better safe than sorry. – TSK

4)   Well my answer depends on what kind of pain he is having but if it is severe and located in an area such as the chest, abdomen or head I would ignore what he is saying and just call 911 and get him some help right away before his "flare-ups" turn into something worse. Try and tell him that the pain he is feeling could be something bad or life threatening and that he should see a doctor just to be safe. We might be able to give you a better answer if we knew where the pain was located.

Good Luck. – neptune296

5)   I’m not sure what kind of advice you want here. You didn’t give any helpful information… didn’t say where the pain is, when he gets it, and how it comes on. Didn’t mention his age, what he’s doing when it happens, or even the type of pain.

So… no one here can give you any relevant information. – Lynx

Question 5
Question about a head injury?…  I was at camp for a week, and i got ran over by a giant hamster ball. i hit my head on grass, and they took me to the ER even though i was fine.

my neck is really sore today, i feel naseious, and i’m a bit loopy…also i’m having trouble sleeping.

should i see the doctor?

Answers
1)   Sure, you must.

All head injuries are very dangerous. – Nicole

2)   If they took you to ER and your xray was fine, chances are you symptoms have nothing to do with the fall. although your neck being sore could be a result of the fall, take painkillers every 4 hrs, and eat and drink plenty of fluids and rest too, u may have just pulled a muscle on your neck. Give it about 3-5 days and if symptoms persist seek medical advice at your doctors. – Kat

3)   sounds as though you still have concussion – see your doc asap – cunny

4)   Nah, you’re fine. Just shake it off and be a man. Doctors are for pussies. – Joe Joe

Question 4
DOES ANYONE KNOW what is wrong with my tummy?…  3 Days ago, I was sitting at work, ( I work for a calling center) and suddenly, my stomach starting hurting really bad, I mean REALLY bad. It felt like needles stabbing me in the gut and it made it hard to walk and breath…. Ive gotten that pain before so I didnt think anything of it and just lived through it.

I know its not related to pregnancy because I just finished my cycle and am on BC.

The very next day, I felt fine, but had minor pains. I felt hungry alot and I ate… Half way through the day again, I started having uncomfortable pains but nothing needle-like, it was just a bloated and full feeling but i felt starved all at the same time..

It is day three and I felt nauseous almost all day, had minor burning and stabbing sensations, and felt full, hungry and somewhat bloated as well. I didnt vomit but I felt pretty close. When I ate, I felt a bit better, but that didnt last long at all. I sometimes thought I could feel the liquids in my stomach of as if something was pouring into it… (like when you drink cold water) but that was rare. My stomach keeps growling as well, when I feel full, but my brain is also making me feel like Im hungry. I dont know wether I am hungry or not, wether its just the pain doing it or not. Im very concerned.

Its almost like im suffering from every stomach pain imaginable.. I have no idea what it is and I cant see a doctor until Thursday, so i just wanted to see if anyone had felt this or knew anything about this.

Answers
1)   It almost sounds like you have a bowel obstruction…have you had a bowel movement lately? Theres many things that it could be. – brai9284

2)   I suggest you to see —-> http://www.all-home-remedies.com

Good Luck…and drink water, it also helped;) – Keely

Question 5
Could Bumping My Head Cause An Aneurysm?…  Hey. I worry about a lot of things, so I just want a little advice on this, so I can stop worrying. Tonight at work, I bumped my head a couple times lightly. Like I stood up quickly after bending over, and banged my head a little on a metal shelf. Aneurysm’s don’t run in my family, but I’ve been reading about them, and I’m just paranoid. Could a bump to the head cause one to occur? and it wouldn’t cause one to rupture if you didn’t have a pre existing one already would it? any info would be great. thanks.

Answers
1)   I’m not a doctor but getting an aneurysm from a bump is VERY rare. You’d have to hit your head in exactly the right spot for something to rupture. And remember, your skull is like a helmet for your brain so if it was a light bump I highly, highly doubt it.

If you’re feeling a lot of pain or dizziness and what not, get checked out. If you’re really worried you could just schedule an appointment or call a nurses station.

Good luck! – Pinkxo

2)   STOP LOOKING ONLINE!!! That is the worst thing you could possibly do!! If you lightly bumped your head a few times at work then YOU ARE FINE!! You are highly highly unlikely to get any time of rupture or even a concussion for that matter from bumping your head. You’d have to hit your head very very hard in order for something like that to rupture, and then ignore it! Just relax, I went through a weird phase where I thought I was going to have a brain anerysum, but I got over it. Its so rare. Just relax and stop looking at DR. Google! its not good for you!!

DEEP BREATHES!!!

What Are PFO’s and How To Prevent Them?

Posted by admin on July 31st, 2010

The foramen ovale is a small opening located on the atrial septum that is used during fetal circulation to speed up the travel of oxygenated blood through the heart. When in the womb, a baby does not use its own lungs to oxygenate blood; it relies on the mother to provide oxygen rich blood from the placenta through the umbilical cord. Normally the foramen ovale closes at birth when increased blood pressure on the left side of the heart forces the opening to close.

If the atrial septum does not close properly, it is called a patent foramen ovale. This type of defect generally works like a flap valve, only opening during certain conditions when there is more pressure inside the chest. This increased pressure occurs when people strain while having a bowel movement, cough, or sneeze.

How does a PFO affect the body?

If the pressure is sufficient, blood may travel from the right atrium to the left atrium. If there is a clot or particles in the blood traveling in the right side of the heart, it can cross the PFO, enter the left atrium, and travel out of the heart to the brain (causing a stroke) or into a coronary artery (causing a heart attack).

A stroke occurs when circulation to a part of the brain is blocked. The resultant lack of oxygen can cause problems that range from death to permanent or temporary affects on muscle control and body function.

A PFO does not cause a stroke, but its presence may be a pathway for a stroke to occur by allowing blood to flow from the venous system to the arterial system without going through the lungs first. One of the important functions of the lungs, in addition to oxygen exchange, is to filter acidic debris from the venous blood returning to the heart. If this acidic debris goes to the arterial circulation, it can lodge in an artery serving the brain, heart, or other major organ causing an arterial embolization. When it lodges in the brain, a stroke occurs. If the effects of the stroke last less than 24 hours, the stroke is called a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). If the symptoms persist longer than 24 hours, it is termed a stroke.

The best treatment to prevent and/ or reverse a possible heart attack or stroke is an alkaline lifestyle and diet, as outlined in our new book, The pH Miracle Revised and Revisited, that will prevent bowel congestion and constipation, reduce or prevent allergic reactions to environmental toxins, reduce cellular acidic debris, prevent thrombosis, and keep the blood clean and flowing throughout central and peripheral blood circulation.

how to die with no pain ?

Posted by admin on July 30th, 2010

Question 1
how to die with no pain ?…  i tried the knife on my hand but it really hurt me ( plz don’t tell me to not try it plz )
i tried the knife but it really hurt me plz give a way to do it

Answers
1)   Die in your sleep. – Aye :D

2)   Don’t do it. Trust me. The minute you feel yourself dying your going to regret it. Save yourself please i’m begging. When you get the chance e-mail me. – Naya

3)   well a knife on your hands is obv going to hurt,

but speak to someone about it ive been through depresseion before

you’l get out of it if you get help

please dont do anything stupid dont you want to die happy

=) – mimi

4)   wait till you are 90 or older and die naturally. – Dejan Jugovic

5)   1. Go to a phycologist 2. dieing of old age is not painful at all

Don’t kill yourself , don’t be selfish think of your family how would they survive if you committed suicide , life is fun try new things etc etc . – Chris

6)   your question is illegal, yes suicide is illegal and if anyone helps you they are guilty of being accessory to murder. People who really want to die, don’t normally worry about the pain, so I suspect you are crying out for help to live. Call a suicide hotline, or see your doctor, get the help you obviously want and need. – essentiallysolo

7)   There is no fool proof way to kill yourself without inflicting any pain. Pills will cause an overdose, and give you severe head, muscle, and stomach cramps. Drowning yourself makes your lungs burn tremendously. Of course, as you have noticed, knives also hurt. The other option would be a gun, but you will feel pain for a quick moment.ON to what I am really concerned about! You. I am concerned about you. You do not elaborate on WHY you would like to end your life. For every issue and problem we have in life, there is an answer and a resolution. When you make a decision such as this, it affects everyone around you. Your mother, father, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and your children. Think about it long and hard before making your decision. When my son passed away, I wanted to die right along with him. But I didn’t. I couldn’t do that to my other 2 children, or my husband and family. – sandra h

Question 2
Is it ok to get growing pains at my age?…  Im 16 and i have been getting severe growing pains in my knees, is it ok if i am barly getting growing pains??

Answers
1)   Yeah, you’re still doing a lot of growing at that age – Poseidon

2)   No. Growing pains usually stop around age 12. It sounds like you have a knee condition. Growing pains aren’t actually all that associated with growth, oddly enough. It’s just a term to describe random limb pains in children.

Dylan, YOU are dumb. I actually know about this. If you’d read my response, you’d know that pains labeled "growing pains" aren’t fully associated with growing. They usually happen ages 2 – 5, then 8 – 12. According to your profile, you’re 13. So shut up. – Olivia J

3)   Olivia, you are dumb! Growing pains usually START when your 12 and can last through puberty up to 18. Your still growing, but thats when you really start growing! – Dylan

4)   growing pains stops at 19 year. so yours pains are normal. maybe you will not grow taller but your bones will getting stronger. – Dejan Jugovic

5)   it may be that your knees are under strain, go and see a doctor

best of luck

Answers
1)   If your really concerned about it, seek medical help. – Carys Davies

2)   Pack your bags and move to Canada. – Rane

3)   dont worry your pinky finger is not broken and u get to maintain your rep for not breaking a bone it sounds to me like a bruise – Deven Bryant

4)   It’s possible you have a hairline fracture (broken) or maybe just bruised the bone. I’d go get an X-ray just to be safe, because if it is broken and heals uncorrectly it could look deformed. Also, you shouldn’t have to be in pain! – TravelBuddy101

Question 4
Every morning I wake up nauseated and dizzy.?…  Every morning I wake up nauseated and dizzy. I am not pregnant. What could be the cause of this? I a
It’s not in my head. I have noticed that it started about the same time I started my new birth control. Or it could be the endometriosis. Who knows for sure, right? (P. Diddy.. LOL) :D

Answers
1)   a number things, go see a doctor right away for some blood work. – Moj

2)   Yeah I have a similar probem.

Every morning I wake up feeling like p. diddy. I don’t know the cause of that either..? – Alyssa

Question 5
What do i do about this back pain, do i need a second opionion?…  okay i have had back pain for 10 years or better but have dealt with it. about a months ago the pain became so severve i went to er .. i am having pain in the lower back and down my right leg. there is tingling feeling going down the right side. I had a exray and they said there was narrowing of hte spine, so they sent for a mri. okay the mri said :

Conus appear normal in configuration and ends at L1.

Vertebral bodies appear normal in height and alignment. Nonspecific small vertebral body hemangioma at L1.

Diminished disk signal at L4-5 and L5-S1 level suggest desiccation.

LUMBAR DISC LEVELS:

L1-L2: No central canal or foraminal stenosis.

L2-L3: No central canal or foraminal stenosis.

L3-L4: No central canal or foraminal stenosis.

L4-L5: Broad-based small disk bulge without central canal or foraminal stenosis.

L5-S1: Left subarticular/foraminal broad-based disk protrusion measures approximately 16mm transverse and

5.5-mm anterior-posterior. No central canal stenosis. Mild to moderate left foraminal stenosis. No impingement

of exiting/traversing nerve roots.

CONCLUSION:

1. At L5-S1 level left subarticular/foraminal disk protrusion without impingement of exiting/traversing nerve

roots. No central canal stenosis.

2. At L4-5 level mild degenerative changes, as described without compromise of neural structures

Now the nuerosurgeon said there is nothing he can do for me to it ruptures then he will do surgery, told me to go back to work and deal with the pain… HElp……………………

Answers
1)   I would go get a second opion.

Hope this helps. – mike d

2)   the test is pretty specific, you have a bulging disk that is pressing on the right side of your spinal cord. Until and unless that disk is reduced, either by rupture or physical therapy, you just have to put up with the pain. I would ask for a referral for physical therapy, and use a lot of ice packs on your lower back to decrease inflammation. A second opinion is always a good idea, but I think they will tell you the same thing. – essentiallysolo

Crystal meth and pregnancy – not a happy combination

Posted by admin on July 30th, 2010

Taking crystal meth is never the greatest of ideas and a new study by researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles shows how harmful it can be for women to take it while they are pregnant. The researchers compared 276 women who were taking crystal meth while they were pregnant with 34,055 other women; all the women gave birth at a hospital in Phoenix between 2000 and 2006. The meth users were nearly three times as likely to have a premature birth and more likely to have a caesarean section. 20% of them had uncontrolled high blood pressure while nearly 10% of them suffered placental abruption in which the placenta separates from the uterus before delivery. The babies of the meth users were six times more likely to suffer ill health and four times more likely to die.

Diet and ADHD – is junk food a risk factor?

Posted by admin on July 30th, 2010

Researchers from the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in Perth, Australia, have been looking into the links between diet and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and have found that children who eat a healthier diet are less likely to develop it. The researchers looked into the diets of 1,800 teenagers and classified them into ‘healthy’ diets – high in fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, fish, omega-3 fatty acids, folate and fibre – and ‘Western’ ones which featured more takeaways, sweets and junk food and were higher in total fat, saturated fat, sugar and salt. Having a ‘Western’ diet was found to be linked to a greater risk of ADHD.

Bipolar disorder – more episodes = more unhappiness

Posted by admin on July 30th, 2010

For people suffering from bipolar disorder episodes of mania and depression can come and go throughout their lives. Researchers from the University of Granada in Spain looked at the psychiatric histories of 108 people diagnosed with bipolar disorder and have concluded, not surprisingly perhaps, that the more episodes people have the worse their quality of life. More than three previous manic episodes, current depression, smoking and being less well-educated were associated with problems in finding and holding down a job. Difficulty with social function increased with the number of hospitalizations, with multiple previous episodes of depression, in those who had lack of social support, and with current depression.In addition, individuals with bipolar disorder who were older, who showed potential signs of alcohol abuse, who had been hospitalized more often, or who had had repeated manic episodes, had more difficulty with family life.

Nitric Oxide – the prime suspect for brain-cell death

Posted by admin on July 30th, 2010

Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease are all characterized by the early death of brain cells but what makes brain cells give up the ghost? Researchers from the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute in the U.S. have been looking into the role of a gas called nitric oxide. The gas attaches itself to other molecules in the brain and was found to ‘leap’ from one set of proteins, called caspases, that normally start cell death to another protein XIAP that normally inhibits it. This is a double whammy for brain cells which are ‘programmed’ to die when either XIAP has nitric oxide attached to it or when caspases don’t. If the scientists can find out how to stop nitric oxide transferring from one molecule to another that could be a breakthrough in the fight against Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s.

i’ve been smoking about 2 cigarettes a day for the past month or so. would a doctor be able to tell?

Posted by admin on July 30th, 2010

Question 1
i’ve been smoking about 2 cigarettes a day for the past month or so. would a doctor be able to tell?…  just curious to know if a doctor would be able to tell this soon or not.
but my dad smokes, so if the doctor happened to notice anything with my lungs, do you think i could get away with him thinking it’s just 2nd hand..?

Answers
1)   They probably can. – Super F+ Student

2)   I cant say for sure, but I can tell you that my friend was over someone’s house where they were doing a lot of smoking, and she went to the doctor and he could tell, but she never smoked-just second hand! – Nicole W

3)   yup. it does disgusting things to your teeth, lips, toungue, throat, lungs, etc. – Knowitall

4)   Doctors can detect nicotine in the blood via urine test. – Ninji

5)   luckly for you, if you hide your breath and you teeth color, a doctor probably wont be able to tell. because it is not standard procedure to do a nicotine test or a blood test for nicotine. – rock

Question 2
How can i prevent my ankles, toes, knees, and fingers from cracking?…  i go around my house late at night, and i always make noise when my joints crack. how can i prevent this from happening? yes, i do stretch before i go out.

Answers
1)   you cant really..if your doing it yourself then just dont do it. if your not doing anything then you really have no controll over it. – Josh

2)   cut them off – Luke

3)   I don’t know if this is applicable to others or not but it sure as hell worked for me -

I used to make a lot of ‘pop’ noises from bone joints when I was not doing much physical labour for about 2 years, I was losing flexibility.

Then I started doing Yoga, and now, 6 months later, unless I will it to, my joints will never ‘pop’. – Akash

4)   may sound borin,but need to get your body moving,without pushing it…..oops,sorry k,you stretch,then can be calcium deficiency…..or could be a stressed out lifestyle leading 2 a slow burnout…

Question 3
I just cut myself with a bit of a rusty razor and my leg feels numb and tingly… should i be worried?…  its been numb for about 2 hours and im not sitting on it just simply lying down

Answers
1)   You should definitely be worried if you haven’t gotten a tetanus shot in the last 10 years. You should probably call your doctor. It might be nothing or just a coincidence but it’s better to be safe then sorry. – jenny

2)   Yeah i agree with Jenny. You should clean it and go to the doctor to get it checked out, it could be serious. – Kimi :)

3)   Check your tetanus records. Are you bleeding? wash it off with soap and water. Take a deep breath and relax… now ask someone you trust parent, spouse, or friend to take you to immediate care if it is an open wound. – Cris

2)   That space that is narrowed between T1 and T2 is caused by tight muscles pulling on the vertebrae to get them closer. It is that tight muscle that is giving you the pain. You have to release your back muscles to get the relief you are looking for. Here’s how to release them:

Back:

(do from a sitting position)

Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and firmly press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.

For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed. – Douglas B

Question 5
My friend got into a major car accident…..?…  My friend was just involved in a major car accident and when he got out to look at the car, the car that hit hims’ suspension in the front end failed and it crushed his foot. He’s at the hospital and they said he’s going to have to lose two toes and won’t be able to walk. Is this going to be permanent or temporary? I really hope he’s okay.. I’m going to visit him at the hospital tomorrow.

Answers
1)   he will probably have to stay off of it for a long time. i was in a major car accident and i broke my pelvis. i couldn’t walk for three months and was in bed all day and night. i hope he feels better soon. hope for the best – Amy

2)   The toes are permanently gone. I’m guessing that walking will return after a long rehab, but he might have a limp forever. But I’m not there, so I can’t say for sure. – Will

3)   How terrible! Your friend must be so upset about his toes. I’m sure with physical therapy and a cane, he will be able to walk again. There are so many options for people today. There’s probably a device to help him. Best of luck for a speedy recovery! – anaheimkaren

You want your children to eat a healthy diet full of nutrition, but for many parents this is an ongoing battle. Yes, your kids can be taught to eat a healthy diet, but sometimes when they are very young it is hard to get them to eat their fruits and vegetables. You don’t want to spend all day trying to get them to eat the foods they need to eat. Sometimes picky eaters won’t eat the foods that they need to eat to help them stay healthy. We all were kids once, and we know that we too, didn’t like to eat our fruits and vegetables. Yet we know that kids still need the proper nutrition to help keep their immune systems strong so that they can stay healthy and ward off nourishment deficiencies. You may also find this article to be helpful,”Teaching Your Kids To Eat A Healthy Diet“.

Tip: Mix the vegetable in with the food. I was feeding my niece and when I tried to give her some green beans she wouldn’t eat them. I was also feeding her some meatless spaghetti too. I just mixed the green beans in with the spaghetti. She didn’t even notice the difference.

The above tip is a great way to get kids to eat some of their vegetables. It may or may not work, but it’s worth a try.:)

So, what do you do if your child is such a picky eater? Do you just stop trying to get him or her to eat healthy? The answer is,”No”. You may want to start giving them a children’s liquid vitamin and mineral supplement. To help fill in the gaps. Even if they are not picky eaters it is a good idea to give them a supplement.

A liquid vitamin is easy for a child to digest and also absorb. Our bodies are like sponges. Pills do not break down in the body thus, you do not absorb them. Plus, you don’t have to worry about your child having to swallow pills. It’s definitely, more convenient.

You also want a liquid vitamin that doesn’t contain:

Artificial Sweeteners
Artificial Colors
Artificial Flavors
Preservatives
Gluten
GMO
BPA Packaging

Your child’s vitamin and mineral supplement should compliment your child’s diet. That means you don’t want your children to eat a bunch of junk food so your child’s liquid vitamin and mineral supplement shouldn’t be a junk food. There are so many so called vitamins which or nothing but junk food. Flintstones vitamins and centrum are just some to name a few.

Teaching your child to eat a healthy diet is the best thing that you can do for them, but giving your child a vitamin and liquid supplement is the next best thing you can do for them too.
