  • Having high blood pressure very young?

    I'm a healthy 18 year old female that has had some very high bp readings in the past weeks. Due to this, my family decided to take me to a cardiologist. The cardiologist put on me an Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor for 24 hours to check my blood pressure every 15 mins during the day, and every 30 at night. I had been checking readings each time it took it and I saw that they never went higher than 143/94. And that reading came when I was in the middle of walking. I only had 2 other high readings in the 90's (for the DIA Bp/ the bottom one), and about 5 others in the 80's DIA. So the rest were in the 50's, 60's and 70's. (and I'm talking about the Diastolic one because that's the one I have issues with)

    My problem is that I had been having really high readings at home. I get really scared when I'm taking my bp. My cousin (a doctor) tells us that he thinks it's emotional. I do too but that isn't stopping my uncle from making me take my blood pressure 5 times a day. He gave me pills to lower my bp and they don't help at all. My bp was 120/102 last week so he gave me a pill to lower it. An hour later, my bp shot up to 144/120! But like 6 minutes later it dropped really fast and I almost passed out. I don't understand why this is happening. My cardiologist says he doesn't think I have hypertension. Does this problem sound like white coat hypertension ? I feel like I should stop taking my blood pressure so often! It makes me anxious and I don't wanna keep harming my heart

  • 18 Month Old doesn't talk nor point at things?

    This baby is 18 Month Old and all he says is dadadadadadada (not saying dad. He does it randomly) and mamamamma (to anybody when he's scared). He doesn't point at things. He doesn't respond to his name. He smiles a lot and is a happy baby but he doesn't communicate at all. When he runs, he flaps his arms up and down. He knows what some things mean (only hungry, here, give me and bye). He yells a lot and mimics sounds like growling and stuff. And lately, he's been throwing bad tantrums. Like when he wants to go outside but we don't let him he starts yelling really loud and flaps his arms around. Sometimes is just random (like he gets mad for no reason ie pass by him and he starts yelling angrily). It's really weird and I'm genuinely confused.

    He's smart when you show him things (ie he's been turning on cellphones since he was 8 months or he knows keys open doors) but when it comes to communicating he doesn't know anything. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Or is he just lazy?

  • Excersice plan for weightloss?

    I'm on a weightloss journey but after a small incident, my weightloss has completely stopped... I got some sort of stomach virus and that lead to dehydration which caused me to pass out and blah blah... After that, I have not lost a single lb... Idk if it was coincidence or if it's just a random plateu... so then I stopped caring and let myself go... Surprisingly, I only gained 5 lbs... Considering what I've been eating its really not a lot... But now I really need to get back to it... So I tried dieting and stuff again and I only lost 1 lb... Its like way harder now...

    Well the point is I'm trying to get an excersice plan to help me lose weight and tone. I went from overweight to normal weight but I'm skinny fat... It's like all flab and I don't want that. I wanna be toned. So can anyone help me organize a detailed excersice plan? also how many calories I should eat? I'm 5'8 and I weigh 156 lbs.

    Please and thanks!

  • Is it a cracked bone?

    Yesterday my bro and me bought a boomerang. We were throwing it around and everything.... Well the point is the boomerang was coming towards me so I blocked it with my hand. At first my hand just had a red line where It hit me and it was swollen as expected. But now like 24 hours later, the spot is swollen and the pain spread to my first 2 fingers, my palm. my wrist and the outside bone in my arm. I took two tylenols an hour ago but the pain goes away for like 1 minute and then it comes back... I can move my hand and fingers but it really hurts! Is my hand gonna be okay if I don't treat it or what should I do?

  • Anxiety and sleep disorders?

    Okay so this year around my birthday I started getting Sleep Paralysis. I don't understand why. I get it so often that it's not even funny. But Ive only let myself go through a full episode of it thrice meaning that I've only had the hallucinations and the other stuff thrice because when I kept getting it I researched it and found out that if you wiggle your toes and fingers when you feel it coming (usually my legs start paralyzing and for some reason it hurts) it stops it. But now every night I'm worry because it's such a scary experience that I wake up crying even when I haven't gone through the whole thing because of the memory of it. So I talked to my mom about it and she told me she had it too for a long time in her teens and she told me it would go away by praying and it didn't :(. But yea the point of this is that I wanna know if it's related to anxiety. For some reason I'm scared of like so many things! I used to have panic attacks when I was little (I cried really hard and I became mute afterwards for like an hour lol) because of earthquakes (which are often in Dominican republic) When I moved here I was so scared of tsunamis that I would cry myself to sleep every night for a month. And I can't ride roller coasters because I'm deadly scared of heights (I found out when I had a panic attack in a roller coaster line at sixflags) and it's gettin to the point when I don't wanna ride elevators nomore. And now for like 3 years I've been getting startled really easy. When people tap me I jump. Or when they make noise I scream. They think I'm doing it to get attention but I'm really not. When I was in dr someone tried to break into my house and I had a panic attack and then recently my bro walked into my room and I started screaming lol. So I don't understand why am I always so on edge and why is it so hard to sleep and when I do sleep why do I get sleep paralysis. Are these things related? Please help me... I'm too embarrassed to go to a doctor :(

  • how can i fix my ipod touch?

    yesterday my ipod fell. it had a cover on. and it didnt fell of a really high place.. it was from my pocket and i was sitting down. then when i go check it, 1/5 of the screen wouldnt work. like when i touched it, it wouldnt do anything.. sometimes it would but then most of the time it just wouldnt respond (only that side , the rest worked fine perfectly) then i reseted it and everything but it just stayed like that. so i just left it alone. then today it died because i forgot to charge it and my cousin connected it to the charger. now i got the ipod and the screen is all black (you can still see some shades of the unlock screen) and when i click the home button it takes a picture (home button + power button= picture of what you are doing on the screen) so im guessing the power button is stuck and also the screen when i touch it it wont respond either... so how can i fix this? what should i do?
