  • Pain and nausea when I push on my upper stomach?

    I have nausea (and sometimes pain) when I put slight pressure on my upper stomach (right below my sternum where my ribs start winging out) sometimes I have shortness of breath and sometimes I get dizzy. I am 19 years old, the last time I went to the doctor my blood pressure was 106/60, and there is NO chance that this has ANYTHING to do with pregnancy. What could it be?

  • I don't want to go outside...but I don't know why?

    I don't know if I don't have the ambition or i'm lazy or if there's something wrong with me. Ever since we moved to a house in the country a few years ago I just don't want to go outside. I'm not sad or depressed or anything I just don't. I can clearly see when it's beautiful outside, and I REALLY want to go outside but it quite literally feels like i can't and I don't know why. I know that sunshine would do me good and my parents constantly try to get me outside but I don't want to.

    Even when we go camping now I don't enjoy it as much as I used to.

    Is there something wrong with me? Why could I be feeling like this?

    I'm 19 (I don't know if that helps)

  • I have a mixture of odd symptoms?

    I find it extremely difficult to sleep (I don't usually get to bed before 3 AM on a good night no matter what I do.)

    I get randomly hot sometimes (it only lasts for a few minutes but it feels like fever hot)

    I get migraines at random times but they don't last long either

    Random joints hurt. My left shoulder, my right knee, my right hip, my left ankle etc.

    I'm a 19 year old female

    I'm relatively active (I exercise about every other day now)

    When I eat, I try to eat healthy

    Everything else about me seems/feels normal.

  • How can I take pictures of the effects of internet on education?

    The assignment in our photography class is to take photos of a growing problem in America. I chose the information age/internet usage. I'm specifically taking pictures of the effects of internet on education. Basically: is the internet making our attention spans shorter? Is the internet REALLY helpful or is it just hindering us from doing thorough research at a library or other areas?

    I'm not sure what to take pictures of...any ideas?

  • Morning sickness but not pregnant?

    As I'm getting ready for college sometimes in the morning, I get sick. I feel nauseous for a good twenty minutes, throw up, then I feel perfectly fine for the rest of the day. What could it be? It's happened twice this month and I have yet to find a logical cause.

    A little info on me:

    I'm an 18 year old female

    I'm 5'4" 125-130lbs.

    I don't eat very often just because of my schedule...so I maybe eat once a day...and it's usually dinner time.

    I get migraines frequently. I'll get them everyday for about 3 months then I won't have them for about 1 month.

    I sleep on average about 6-7 hours a night

    What could it be? Why am I only getting sick in the mornings...and then feeling perfectly fine after I throw up?

  • What are some things I can do with my friend to get her mind off of a car accident?

    My friend just got into a car accident. Everyone is fine, but she's coming over to my house and I know she's going to want to get her mind off of things. Watching a movie won't work because she'll just be thinking about it the whole way through the movie.

  • I get hungry every 2-3 hours without fail?

    It started a couple days ago, I'll eat a big meal and I'll be REALLY hungry 2 or 3 hours later. Like I never ate. I'm 17 years old and i'm in show choir so i'm kinda active. My mom bought me some multivitamins a couple days ago would that have anything to do with it? Otherwise why would I get hungry so fast? Its kind of irritating and I don't want to keep feeding myself all the time because I don't want to gain lots of weight. What's happening?

  • My friend is sick...PLEASE help?

    Now, I think she just has a cold, and we're trying to find out what kind of medicine she should take. but this is how she describes her symptoms: I'm cold, but sweating. My body aches everywhere. My throat hurts a little and I'm sensitive to touch. Everything about it screamed regular cold, until I got to "sensitive to touch" could it be something else? and what should she take?

Any ideas? any pictures? tutorials would be REALLY nice :) I'm up for half up half down if need be.

    If it helps,

    I have brown hair (with a little bit of golden and red mixed in but definitly mostly brown)

    I'm not a large person: fat content wise or height wise. I'm about 5'4"

  • Hallucinations at night?

    I've been searching google to come up with some ideas of what this COULD be but nothing really fits this description. At night, usually starting around 5 or 6 I start seeing things. no matter where I am. I'll be walking around the house and see a face staring at me from around the corner, or I'll hear something and turn and a large humanesque figure will be there and vanish quickly. Just a couple days ago I was in the shower, and (the shower is relativly dark because we have a curtain that acts as a shower door) and I could've sworn I saw bugs scurrying around my feet. I freaked out for a second, and then they vanished. I'm 17 years old, and I don't do drugs or drink alcohol, i'm not into that kind of thing. and its not just IN MY house that I see things. If i'm somewhere else at night I see things there too. but its only at night. It's gotten to the point where I won't go take a shower unless I know someone else is home, because i'm SO scared. Espeically of the human shadows. PLEASE HELP ME.
