4 AnswersHeart Diseases9 years agoDuring a Treadmill Stress Test, is it normal for your arms to go numb?
I just completed a Treadmill Stress Test for my heart. I reached my 100% heart rate within 2 minutes. The nurse said that was very quick. During the test, both of my arms began to go numb.
Is this normal? If not, what could this indicate? I asked if everything looked "ok" and was told the Cardialogist will get with by primary care dr. about the results. Opinions anybody?
3 AnswersHeart Diseases9 years agoCould these be symtoms of a blood clot?
Last Thursday I had an MRI with contrast dye solution. The dye was injected into my left hand. The following day, my for-arm felt a little sore. I thought it was from the rubberband ternicate the technision used to dialate the veins in my hand before the injection.
Now, three days later my forearm and hand are very swollen and hurt like crazy. This pain is also felt up my entire arm. I have a red spot about the size of a half dollar on my arm that is hot to the touch. My arm also feels heavy and weak. Could this be a blood clot or a reaction to the contast dye? If this is a blot clot, it is considered dangerous condition?
4 AnswersOther - Diseases1 decade agoFalse sense I'm slipping when I walk, can a mental condtion cause this?
I'm 40ish and walk 2.5 miles everyday during my lunch break as part of my daily fitness routine. (I have an office job, so walking at lunch feels really good.) Recenlty, I have been expriencing a "slipping sinsation", as if I am walking on ice, that occurs every 20 to 50 steps or so with my left foot. Honestly, I thought it was my shoes causing the problem. I have changes shoes and still have this slipping sinsation. Now I"m not really sure if I"m actually slipping or if its a "false sense" that I'm slipping.
My co-workers, who I walk with me at lunch, think I'm nuts and so do my kids and husband. If this is in my head, what condition would cause this? I've also had trouble with short term memory that is getting really annouying. Thanks for reading and offering your advice.
2 AnswersMental Health1 decade agoMy husband said I had a seizure in my sleep, Help!?
I'm 39 and have never had a seizure before, but my head felt strange before I went to bed. (kind of like a hangover after a severe headache) My husband said I started having severe jerking type motions and my eyes were half open and I was totally unresponsive. (I have no recollection of this at all) It lasted maybe about a minute or so then it stopped. Today My whole body hurts like I have been in a car wreck and my eyes feel like they are sinking into my head. I'm so tired I can barely stand to be on the computer typing this.
What can cause this and should I expect this to happen again?
Is it normal to feel this way after a seizure?
I must admit I'm very nervous about this....
I did have meningitis 6 months ago. (really thought I was going to die before I got over that) Not sure if that could be related or not....???

2 AnswersOther - Diseases1 decade agoSpinal tap 9 days ago and having low back pain and leg cramps. How long does this last?
I had a spinal tap to diaganose viral meningitous 9 days ago. The proceedure it's self was not that painful. The Dr. heavily medicated me just before the procedure knowing I was absoluletly terrified do to a "horrific epidural experience" during childbirth. I had the expected headache, but was on high does of pain killers anyway for the meningitous. Now that I have recovered from my severe neck pain and headache, I am left with a very sore low back and ackey legs. I am walking at a snails pace. My Dr told me not to take any asprin or motrin for inflamation due to the higher risk of Reye Syndrome that could develope after a bad viral infection when taking those types of medications. This is all across my very low back, like a wide stip going from hip to hip. Has anyone else
experienced low back pain after a spinal tap? How long does this last?

11 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoMore about the NO obituary question?
This woman was my mother by the way. I know my mother had life insurance from the hospital where she worked. I know that her husband had her insured for a minimum of half a million dollars.
I could have sworn my mother told me many years ago that she was going to have her children as beneficiaries of that policy from her employer. (she knew her husband had her insured for a small fortune) So is it possible he got that money without our knowedge? And could it be possible her kids were on the life insurance policy to get a portion of that policy too and he did not tell us about it?
We were not even allowed to have a memorial service for our mother. And he shipped her body to another state to be barried.
It was like a nightmare after she died. Could he have distroyed her will? I'm at a loss for the way he is acting and treating our deseased mother and her children. It has been over a year and he has not made any attempt to contact us. We've tried 3 or 4 to contact him...
4 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWhat would be the reasons a man would not put his wifes obituary in the local paper.?
First this man was mean and abusive to his wife. Second he's an alcoholic. Third he's an insurance salesman, Life and Health.
The woman held a job at the local hospital for 20 years, had many friends and 3 loving kids and several grandkids. She lived in the same community for over 35 years and lived a somewhat nice middle class life.
Why on earth would her husband absolutely refuse to put any kind of obituary in the newspaper. Even after the woman's children said they would be happy to write one and pay for it themselves...?
I think it sounds shady to me.
I think he has a "girlfriend" on the side to begin with before the womans death. (She died from cancer, but had signs of abuse when she entered the hospital for the last time. By this time she hhad cancer in her brain and could not speak clearly.)
What reason's are there (other than cost) for not allowing an obituary to be placed in the local paper?
4 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoDNA question?
I have had a DNA paternity test with my father.
Would any of the numbers on that test happen to represent
Native American Heritage?
Would I have to have a new test to find out or can I just take the test results I already have to a professional to be read.
Also, would they be able to know which Tribe we are associated with?
My father should be 1/8 and should be 1/16 if the family is correct.
My father's grandmother was embarrassed to be Native American and refused to discuss it and would not allow her children to discuss it either. So I have very little information.
3 AnswersGenealogy1 decade agoI have had a DNA test and would like to ask a question about the results.?
I have had a DNA test to prove I am my father's daugher.
Are the results of that test able to show I have any Native American Indian in my ancestry? My dad says he is 1/8 Osage which would make me 1/16 I would assume. Apparently his grandmother was embarrased to be American Indian and refused to have any conversation about it.
Does anyone out there know how to read a DNA test result?
What line would represent Native American Heritage?
Does this require a totally new and different kind of DNA test?
I would hate to pay for a new test if this one shows what I need.
