Question 1

hi liam here, im getting headaches for a while and lastnight i woke to find my pillow was soking wet. could they be related , i also have high b p.

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Be sure your blood pressure is well-controlled. If not it may be a big factor in the headaches. The headaches and sweating may have a common origin or may be unrelated. If headaches persist, see your healthcare provider soon to get a more specific diagnosis than just "headache.".

Question 2

hi i'm liam and i'm 17 years old, i have a lump under my skin in the groin area above my penis and am curious to know what it is, can u help me?

Accepted Answer

Lump under skin: If it is small and looks like it is where a hair follicle is located, it may be an ingrown or infected follicle. These resolve with time, or you can try a warm compress to try to draw out the infection and work out the ingrown hair. Also, there are many lymph nodes in the groin, so it may be one of those (they are normal). If painful, red, getting larger, go see a doctor.

Question 3

liam has coughed up mucous for years, coughs during his sleep. doesn't smoke, does drink alcohol, not healthiest diet. what can he do to help it?

Accepted Answer

Chronic Cough: I would have a pulmonologist evaluation. You may be refluxing, have sinus infections or allergies (often in combination) . Chronic cough or bronchitis cans lead to COPD and permeate lung damage.

Question 4

is lead safe ?

Accepted Answer

Not if inside us...: Lead is naturally occurring on earth. Outside of our bodies, lead is not a problem. If we eat or drink too much of it, it becomes a toxic contaminant inside our bodies. Lead is everywhere in our industrialized world, which means one shouldn't worry too much about it, but be sure our families are not eating or drinking things containing lead, nor using lead-contaminated containers or toys.

Question 5

can i eat raw lamb?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but why???: Haven't heard of any regulations against the eating of raw lamb, but why would one not cook his meat. Undercooked meat has bacteria, viruses, and parasites that are bad for people. One can enjoy a healthier lifestyle by cooking to death all those "germs", before eating.

Question 6

how to be positive in life

Accepted Answer

A bit broad.....: Do you really expect a short (yet useful) answer? I believe you are serious, so I can only say a very first step. Your quest will take a lifetime! Find things that matter to you and get involved in doing them step-by-step. They need not be the popular big ones - but they must hold value for you and be a good fit w/ your strengths and gently push against your challenges. A counselor can guide you.

Question 7

how can i have a joyful life?

Accepted Answer

Make others happy: A joyful life implies good feelings within.  The best way to achieve this inner sense of goodness is to do good things for others without any expectation of tangible reward.  It will bring you joy to see the happiness you have created in others.

Question 8

wich is the objective of life?

Accepted Answer

Happiness: Live free and happy while helping others in the process.

Question 9

is it okay that i end my life?

Accepted Answer

No!: The most common reason for people to try to end their lives is depression, a treatable condition.  Another is chronic pain, also treatable.  Finally, there is terminal illness, when people decide to end their lives before their quality of life deteriorates too far. If you&#x27;re depressed, i urge you to get treatment. Life seems hopeless when you&#x27;re depressed, but that can change very quickly.

Question 10

how long is 25 hour half life?

Accepted Answer

Depends.: I am assuming you are talking about the half life of a drug.  A drug with a 25 hours half life means that after 25 hours, the blood concentration of the drug will be halved. So at hour zero it's 100%. At 25 hours , the concentration is 50%. At 50 hours, it's 25%. At 75 hours, it's 12.5% etc.  Please note that using half lives is an oversimplification and doesn't always correlate with drug effect.
