Question 2

pains in my chest varies from l and r side, 4/10 pain, lasts for about 20 seconds then goes, it happens a few times every couple of days?

Accepted Answer

Chest pains: Such fleeting chest pains are not usually due to lung or heart disease, but can be caused by pinching or irritability of intercostal nerves or muscles which run between ribs. The discomfort is usually a sharp jab which can be brought on by a deep breath or other motion. Any history of strain from exercise or work? These usually resolve in time, but see your physician if they persist or worsen.

Question 3

it doesn't happen often but happens every couple of months maybe. i wake up in the night gasping for air for about ten seconds. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

OSA: Sounds like you should see a sleep physician and find out if you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea. It is easily treated. In extreme cases, this condition is life threatening so please get it checked as soon as possible.

Question 4

is it normal at age 18/19 to feel jolts of pain in my heart sometimes? happens every couple mins for like a minute then goes away again??

Accepted Answer

No: The heart itself has no pain fibers to give you pain.The blood vessels within the heart do, but you are far too  young and the pain you describe not of heart origin. If you look at that location, it has chest wall,swallowing tube, and heart. What you describe sounds more like reflux (swallowing tube) but it could be chest wall. Your doc could help you sort this out, but it does not sound serious.

Question 5

i just graduated from highschool for the last couple of months i've been having diarrhea it happens every time i leave the house or go somewhere?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhea: There are numerous causes for diarrhea ranging from what you eat, drink, stress and inflammation or irritation of the bowel.  Do you take any medication.  Sometimes an infection can occur if you have been traveled outside the U.S.

Question 6

frequently but not everytime, when im done eating, after a while i would get oain around my heart. this would only happen once every couple months ?

Accepted Answer

Reflux: Reflux would be a likely cause. Given the association with eating.

Question 7

what does it mean if my vision changes every couple mins?

Accepted Answer

Probably dry eye: This is most common when first waking up and the blurry vision is temporary. Artificial tears over the counter will help. Make sure it does NOT contain any redness or itching reliever in it. Just a pure lubricating drop. Use this through out the day and when waking up.  Generally 3-4x/day. Dry eye is very common. If the blurry vision persists, see an eye doctor. good luck.

Question 8

should we try opks or just make sure we try every couple of days?

Accepted Answer

OPK will make the: timing easier, but it is not necessary if you know roughly when you ovulate.  Just start having intercourse 5 days before you think you will ovulate.  Every other day intercourse is just as good as every day.  Good luck!!

Question 9

every time me and my husband have intercourse i itch really bad for about a week this has been happening for a couple months now

Accepted Answer

Ans: Remember with intercourse the ph of the vaginal canal is changed. You need to have very good hygiene after intercourse. Also remember to get your pap exam. This allows the doctor to check the vaginal canal and cervix and make sure there is no discharge like yeast etc...

Question 10

my cycle has ben getting longer every couple of months. it used to be 28 days, then was 32 for a few years but last 3 cycles have been 35 days?

Accepted Answer

Changes: Cycles can be variable for many reasons. Most variability is benign. But, you are wise to keep track and note changes. It is always a good idea to discuss this with your family doc and/or your ob/gyn during your regular check-ups...
