What May Be A Cause For Someone To Have Frequent Sleep Paralysis, Chest Pain And A Bit Of Shaking?
February 27th, 2010Please Answer My Chest Pain/nose Bleed Question? Im Very Nervous And Its Hard To Sleep Im So Stressed.?
February 4th, 2010When ever I lay down on my stomach or chest for a while playing on my computer then stand up I feel tightness near my sternum. I then throw my arms back and my head back and stretch my chest back and I can crack it and it feels a little better. Also If I stoop over(hunch my back forward) and then straighten back up I feel the same tightness. Also If I stoop over and tighten the muscles in my chest I feel a pain there. Sometimes when I cough I can feel the pain there also. And once in a while if i breath deep i can also feel it.
It has been like this for about almost two weeks. Its gotten a little better and some days its worse.
I read up on Pulmonary embolism because I am a hypochondriac and it said it hurts more when you stoop over, breath, and cough.
Im very scared it has to do with a blood clot or a heart attack or something serious because whenever I go check my blood pressure at the machine at the store it says its high (155-130/100-84) I take it multiple times and it decreases normally the first one is the highest. PLEASE NOTE i have major anxiety and I think that was causing the blood pressure. I went to a doctor and he said it was 120/80 and I was like thats strange. I went back to a different store and it was high again. I waited a couple days and Noticed that I was having blood in my nose when ever I blew it or stuck a tissue up into it. It never actually bleed out but whenever I blow my nose there is some blood in the boogers. Thinking this is because of high blood pressure I went back to the same doctor and It turned out to be 140/100(the nurse took it) I started freaking out. They did an EKG and said everything looked fine except I had sinus Tachcardia which they said was because I was very nervous. By the time I left my blood pressure was down to 136/88(the doctor took it a couple times) one after another waiting about 2 mins in between. Was that enough time for another accurate reading or were my blood vessels constricted and blood pushed away causing a lower reading? Is that whats happening at the store machine when it drops lower?
NOW THIS WAS A WALK IN CLINIC SO I DO NOT KNOW HOW GOOD THEY ARE
I am 19 years old I weigh 184-192 and I am 5″11 or 6″
I have started eating healthier and I see a psychiatrist.
Now back to the point does this seem like it could be something serious or just muscle pain(note: I have bad posture I hunch over on my computer allot). And do you think the nose bleed is from high blood pressure or sometime else. I have seasonal allergies and I used afrin(which you are supposed to use not more than 3-5 days in a row) for about a year and a half almost everyday(which could have messed up the lining in my nose) My nose has been like this for almost a month. When I use saline spray It starts to have more blood when I stick a tissue up there( maybe b/c the spray is dissolving the blood clot)
I am very very nevous and stressed out and I have had a chain reaction of stressful events from being shot at, Roommate passed away car crash, dog ran away(just got a call that she is found 
), college home sickness, and family issues.
Thank you in advance for taking your time to read this long question and I really appreciate you answering this. It really means allot to me.
(dont just say go to a doctor I have been to 14 different doctor/clinics in the past 19 weeks for random things I thought was wrong with me most turned out nothing was wrong and I think now that this my be the cause of my symptoms,and my parents are getting sick of paying)
Having Problems Sleeping On My Left Side And Stomach, Can Only Sleep On My Back Because Of Chest Pain (angina)?
December 21st, 2009i having angina pains for about 15 yrs, altho i live a relatively normal life, i am 34 yrs old, and is recieving treatment for hypertension. Towards the end of last yr, i drank/smoked heavily and woke and started having problem sleeping on my left side, if i try to, i have a feeling that my heart is filling up with blood and cannot pump them out effectively, i have to lie on my back to sleep or sit up.i also feel some discomfort or slight pain in my chest when i try to check my blood pressure. My doctor recommended an ECG, heart Echo and x-ray, the ecg was normal as well as the xray, but the cardiac echo test showed that i have enlarged left ventricle and thick endo…, but my doctor doesn’t says he doesn’t think the enlarged left venticle is responsible for my not been able to sleep on my left side, he told me take my bp drugs more often (captopril, norvasc, delayed action nitrates) and some NAID. He also recommended that i take GTN or some nitrates to relieve me of the pain when its very intense, i tried it and i got some relief last night, I want to know whats really wrong with me, is my condition getting worse, will the pain go away eventually or is it the beginning of the end for me…
i have stopped drining and smoking since this yr but my gf upset me some days ago and i went out and drank and smoked heavily, i woke up in the middle of the night with my heart racing rapidly, i felt as if i will faint, i prayed to God to save me cos i knew something terrible might happen to me, God directed me to take some atenolol which i did and immediately my heart stopped racing…what is really happening to me
Is Chest Pain A Symptom Of Panic Disorder/anxiety?
September 18th, 2009I’m 16 and have anxiety..or panic disorder whichever you prefer..
I’m also a hypochondriac which makes things worse..
anywho..
I’ve been having heart palpitations, and skipped beats for a bout a month now….
and my chest hurts a lot on the left side near the bottom of my ribs about where my heart is…
it doesn’t hurt 24/7 but most of the day i have pains that come and go..
sometimes the pain is minor..about a 3 on a scale of 1-10…and other times (mainly at night) it hurts at about a 5 or 6…
should i be worried that i have heart problems, or is this normal for people who have panic disorder?
it’s been keeping me up at night…and i’ve missed bout 3 nights of sleep this week so i’d like some advice..
thanks.
The Benefits of Good Health
September 17th, 2009
There is nothing quite like enjoying the benefits of good health.
A good fitness program or a good exercise video, along with regular sound sleep and good nutrition will ensure you get more out of life.
You will feel stronger and happier and be able to do more activities no matter what age you might be.
Fitness will reduce the effects of aging and allow you to participate in sports and recreation that might not be possible for someone with lower levels of fitness.
Having greater levels of fitness will reduce the incidence of injury and also reduce the chances of illness.
There are so many benefits that can affect all aspects of your life that maintaining your fitness is essential. Remember it does not have to be complicated or expensive. Hiring a trainer is not compulsory to good fitness. It can be inexpensive as a good walking program or buying a quality exercise video
Even if you are unfortunate enough to suffer some form of injury or illness, your fitness levels will help you to recover faster and get back to full health.
The older you get the more important it is to keep your fitness levels up as we become inclined as we get older to reduce our physical activity.
A fit person will always live longer if all else is equal and apart from that, they will get more enjoyment out of life as everything will be all the easier to do.
Good health is something that we should all be investing in. The investment you make in your health will pay dividends later in life that no amount of money can achieve.
It is particularly important as we grow older that we have the strength to maintain our balance and remain as independent as possible for as long as we can.
Working out to an exercise video or one walk two or three times a week might not seem like a lot now but accumulating over the years it will help to strengthen your bones and build a healthier and stronger heart and better lungs.

Chest Pain, Pain In Right Arm, Tingling In Left Hand When I Sleep, Anybody Had Similar Symptoms?
September 11th, 2009Hi, i hope somebody can help me, I am a 24 year old male who suffers from central and left sided chest pain on almost a daily basis, the left sided pain is a stabbing pain and the central pain is a pressure feeling, i also get pain deep inside my left shoulder and arm and have tingling in my left hand when i sleep which disappears within 10 seconds of waking up. I also find myself short of breath sometimes. I have seen several doctors and a cardiologist who have been unable to find anything wrong with me, the tests i have undergone are several ECG’s, a ultrasound on my heart, a scan on my lungs to check for blood clots and a heart x-ray. Doctors have concluded i may have a trapped nerve in my back which is causing the pins and needles, despite what the doctor has said i am constantly worrying about this and fear i am going to die in my sleep, i am also too scared to do any excercise that will increase my heart rate which i know is bad for my overall health. Can anyone help me?

Why Do I Have Mild Chest Pain Continuously Even During Very Simple And Normal Situations?

Even on very simple situations such as talking on phone, reading newspapers (some bad news), watching television (slightly emotional scenes including adult scenes and bad news scenes), befor presentation, I have chest pain (left side, sometimes continuous and sometimes without any situation). I know that these are very very normal things but still I have the problem. I also have chronic gastritis, constipation, palpitation and unrefreshing sleep. What could be the solution?
