Get Evalutated Now: You have not mentioned if you have a fever, vomiting cough or other symptoms.  But the basic description, especially how fast it came on, is one of an infection &amp; needs to be evaluated ASAP. There are also other possibilities, and these need to also be check for especially if now infection.  You have what a lot of doctors call red flag symptoms which require evaluation now. I would go to an ER/UC.

Question 6

pain of prying ingrown fingernail from infected skin cause shock-like symptoms (dizzy, sweaty, low hr, tired). no blood. can pain cause shock? dangerous?

Accepted Answer

The subjective: Experience of pain can do a lot of things to an individual and is best avoided at all costs.  In your case i would recommend stop manipulating your fingernail (lots of pain receptors there) and let your doctor take a look.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Period pain: NSAID’s, SSRI’s, hormone meds, OTC meds containing diuretics, warm bath, heating pad, exercise &amp; acupuncture are excellent for dysmenorrhea. Avoid caffeine, chocolate, alcohol &amp; salt. Get GYN eval to R/O underlying pathology. Consider omega- 3 fatty acids, magnesium (supplementation or through diet) or Black Cohosh with dr ok. Sipping Chamomile can dissipate pain.

Question 8

head pressures, loss of hunger, cold and sweaty hands and feet, weird sensation in head, weakness in hands and occasional slight trembling.

Accepted Answer

Anxiety/ Depression: I understand your discomfort.
At age 16, you certainly need relief from these symptoms.
It is possible that stresses of childhood and teenage years with family, siblings and friends have caused Anxiety with head pressures,  cold and sweaty hands and feet; and weird sensation in head.
Loss of hunger and weakness could be due to depression.

Increase complex carbohydrates – try to incorporate at least 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit into your diet daily.   Try: Omega- 3 fatty acids. Try to take in magnesium either through supplementation or through your diet with your Dr’s approval.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Check your sugars: I would first be sure to check your glucose and make sure it is not going down too low. If that is not the case you should check with your GP to have some bloods checked and makes sure there are no other problems like your thyroid or other issues.
