Question 1

hello, i'm having a sort of crackling sound in my brain whenever i move my head. feels like popcorn popping or chips cracking. no headache or anything?

Accepted Answer

Neck?: We generally do not hear things in our brain, but it is possible that you are hearing some crunching in the neck bones when you move your head, or possibly some issues inside your ear canal could be triggering this.  Please see a doctor.  In either event, it is likely this is not a worrisome thing, just annoying, but perhaps can be treated.

Question 2

i constantly have pain in my left side under my rib. when the attack happens  it is vry intense with what feels like popcorn popping  & heart pounds?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Although constant pain for a very prolonged duration is usually not the heart, you need to be evaluated asap in order to be sure.

Question 3

why do i feel like i have something inside my stomach? feel like popping popcorn... im not pregnant cause im on the shot. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Multiple things.: Although you are on the shot, it is still possible to get pregnant. Nothing is 100% so don't rule it out. It could be gastroesophageal reflux disease better known as heartburn. It could also just be gas.

Question 4

im 26, i have mirena iud for 2 years. havent had a flow since over 6 months, bloating daily, have now started popcorn popping sensations in my stomach, on and off headaches and increased appetite. could i be pregnant even with the iud? thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: Pregnancy is very unlikely if a woman has an IUD. If worried, one can do a urine pregnancy test. A home urine test, done correctly, gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon, and thus lead to a repeat test.

Question 5

after eating air pop popcorn, i get sick. i get  an upset stomach. it gets very painful. it didn't use to be this way. could i now be allergic?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It could be an allergy to corn or it could be an intolerance. Maybe it is an additive in the popcorn product you are using. Switch brands and see if it persists. If so, see an allergist.

Question 6

i'm addicted to potato chips are there any healthy alternatives?

Accepted Answer

Be a Pirate: Try pirate's booty.  Low cal, no trans fats, and it tastes good.  There are better alternatives than these but this may not be a bad place to start:).

Question 7

is eating potato chips everyday unhealthy?

Accepted Answer

Moderation: While daily potato chips  won&#x27;t poison you, they  are  not the healthiest snack choice, as they are high in fat, sodium and calories. Why  not moderate your intake of potato chips with fruit and nuts as snack choices?

Question 8

craving salty food like potato chips and such, what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

All kinds of things: It could mean you're pregnant or dehydrated or that you're addicted to salty snacks. It could mean you have a mineral deficiency or an electrolyte of balance.  Or maybe you've been trying to cut back and old habits die hard!

Question 9

after a tooth is pulled how soon can you eat potato chips?

Accepted Answer

Chips: I would wait at the least two days.  I would be sure to rinse with salt water two to three times per day or more often to keep the area clean for good healing.

Question 10

i am 3 months pregnant and i eating tons of salty potato chips.  is this bad for my baby?

Accepted Answer

Bad for you and baby: Eating salty foods rich in carbohydrates is not good at any stage and is worse during pregnancy.  Increase in blood pressure and gestational diabetes are two risks of pregnancy that you are exposing yourself to by your diet.  Both of these conditions are also not good for your baby.
