today.i hit my head so hard that i saw a bug white flash for like...1 second, and i have a big bump on my forehead.and my head (inside) hurts and the bump itself hurt a little teeny bit... could i have a little concussion? and if i did...is that bad? what do i do? what will happen if i don't get it looked at?
Answer:
if you feel dizzy, sick, or your vision is blurry it might be concussion. It would be a good idea to get checked out by a doctor
this would be a concussion. treat your pain with advil or tylenol, rest, and see a doctor if your symptoms become more severe.
If its bothering you you should really go see your doc,its always good to check it out expecually if your head,lots of things can happen so go get it checked out.
Concussions are caused by trauma to the brain. This happens when the brain collides with the skull. "Wierd" symptoms can occur and "concussions can worsen over time. For instance, a person may seem fine right after the injury. But strange symptoms develop hours or days later. In severe cases, worsening symptoms can be a sign that a blood clot is pushing the brain against the skull." Rest is prescribed and a person may need to be monitored at a hospital for a little while.
anytime you have a head injury-you should be evaluated within 24 hours (immediately if you passed out). being that you saw a "white flash" i would say that you passed out briefly and you really should have someone take you to the er or nearest urgent care.this could be a mild concussion and will hurt for a while.if you have it evaluated at an emergency room, they might take some head xrays to make sure you didnt fracture your skull and they might also do a head ct scan (a 3-d image of the brain taken w/ a special machine-does not hurt) to make sure you didnt seriously injure your brain (bruised it or have a small bleed somewhere). if you have a concussion-they'll send you home with some pain medication and tell you to rest as much as possible (and to have someone their to watch over you).do not take anything (tylenol,motrin,etc) until seen by a dr. these medications thin the blood and in the rare event that you have a brain bleed-they could make it worse if you take them. and do NOT drive yourself. if there is nobody there to take you-call 911 and have an ambulance drive you.head injuries can start out simple but can turn into a serious condition in an instant. i work in trauma icu and i've had several patients who have fallen days before coming to the hospital only to find out they had injured their brain and are now in my icu b/c they waited to long to have it looked out. it's better to be safe than sorry-especially with head injuries.
Because the brain is the controlling organ for the body, injuries to the head are potentailly dangerous and always require medical attention.
Concussion is an altered state of consciousness caused by a blow to the head or neck.. There is always possibility of serious brain injury.
Look out for temporary loss of consciousness, headache, amnesia, altered response to commands and touch, blood or clear fluid from nose or ears, pupils that become unequal in size and blurred vision. You need to be seen by a doctor as soon as possible.
Ok doing Martial Arts I have had my share of concussions. it is true that you do see stars. Man it is not fun. They don't really do anything for you at the hospital unless you are completely knocked out for a period of time. Make sure the bump isn't indented. If it is swollen and out then you are fine. Just take it easy. Put some ice on it to get the swelling to go down. If things get too awfully bad call 911. I am sure you will be fine. You will have a nice bump and a headache for awhile. My last bump didn't go away for over a month and the headache lasted for days. I wish you the best. Hang in there.
You should really get it looked at, you could have hurt yourself more than you know. I know with a concussion you鈥檙e supposed to stay up for like 24 hours cause there is a chance if you fall asleep you could slip into a coma. Go to the doctor.

Hit forehead...should I see a doctor?
I hit my forehead really hard on the corner of an open car door. Within seconds, I developed a HUGE egg shaped bump but no dizziness or vomiting. It has been 5 days now and the swelling has gone down tremendously. There is slight bruising which leads me to believe it is healing. I have experienced headaches since the injury and occassionaly feel tired and nausias. Should I be concerned? I was told to see a neurologist to make sure everything is OK but I do not have health insurance and the visit would probably cost a fortune once x-rays are taken. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Answer:
5 days out %26 you are doing better probably indicates no serious damage (which would be bleeding within the brain); but if things change you need to go to an ER. A mild concussion (which is just a sorta brain bruise) will heal on its own without anything to do for it--just observation for the first 48 hours. Signs that things are worse include: visual changes, gait problems, projectile vomiting, stupor to unconsciousness, personality changes, worst headache of life, stiffening neck etc. IN that case don't even think about health insurance but go to ER. Xrays of head injuries are no longer taken--you would get a CT or an MRI.
Yes, see a Physician for a diagnosis.
I'd go see a doc. It's not like it was your foot or something. It's your head! Lot's of important stuff in there.
As long as the symptoms are diminishing I would not go to the doctor. The Doctor would order at least a CT and possibly a MRI. Without insurance you are looking at about $2000 there alone. As long as the swelling is going down AND the color of the bruising is starting to fade then do not worry. If your vision becomes blurred or if you start noticing mood changes then you will need to go.
No, if you don't have the luxury of health insurance I would strongly recommend not going to a doctor. They're just going to charge you too much money to tell you you're just fine and that you got a mild concusion. You'll be fine, you we're probably feeling bad because the swelling creating increased pressure on your temporal lobe giving you headaches and nausia. If it continues to bother you in a week, then i would suggest seeing someone, or researching on the internet 'prolongued concusions' or something along the lines of that.

Hit 40 and have nothing but aches and pains?
try to keep fit have joined a gym and try to exercise 4 to 5 times a week
back, shoulder, ankle all ache all the time
any ideas
Answer:
Try taking Emergen-C with MSM on a regular basis. It's a powder you mix with water and is VERY effective for those aches we get as we age. I have a physician friend who works in the preventive medicine field and he recommends it to his older patients all the time. You could also take glucosamine chondroitin as a supplement. It helps with any degeneration of the pads between the joints.Those two products can be extremely helpful.
Warm up and down properly. If that doesn't do it see a physio or look into massage/ reflexology etc...very relaxing too.Does the gym not offer advice??
At 40 this happens...but yoga can significantly reduce the pain and aches. Yoga stretches muscles and gets fluids circulating within muscles and seems to make a big difference.
Take some ibuprofen. That will help with the pain. Then work out easier until you build up your muscles.
See your doctor, check your matress, and if you are just re- starting your exercise routine,see a trainer and don't exercise too long or too much: gradually build up.
There could be an underlying cause to your continuous aches and pains. Talk to your doc about it. As another answerer mentioned, yoga is good for you. The more flexible you are the less prone you are to injury.
Hope you sort out your aches soon!
the low dose aspirin is good, plus you have the added benefit of heartache protection. but you should also take some kind high dose calcium because after 30-35, you lose bone density.
Welcome to the club!
well my nan takes some naterel compounds against cartaleg damage and i believe it could help ...i feel you probably whent in to fast ...arobics can be fun with or without waights ...swimming never causes straina real massage with oils can and does help
Why not try a different type of exercise? Basic yoga or flexibility training is less demanding on the body, but very effective. You sound as if you are over doing it. Take it easy and give your body a chance to recover. Even just going for a 30 minute walk a few times a week can be of great benefit. Stretching exercises and deep breathing are the best for aches and pains. Good luck!

Hip/Leg Pains at 21?
I have been getting moderate to severe pains in my hips and down my legs for a while now, it comes and goes and is worse at times than others, but it worries me as it sometimes causes a limp its so bad. It feels like an aching sensation and it burns and tingles on movement. I am seeing my Dr about it tomorrow and would like ideas on what I shoud ask them/what tests I should be having for these symptoms. Any ideas welcome.Many thanks.
Answer:
Hi there, you will be surprised to know that being 21 doesn't exempt you from some of the "old people" stuff out there!! lol
Your symptoms could lead to any number of things, Sciatica is the first thing that I thought of because you mentioned a limp, but that is usually more prevalent in the right hip and leg. You could have a ruptured,or herniated disc. Or even Arthritis.
You should ask your doctor if he will schedule you for an MRI. X Rays do not show everything that needs to be seen.
If you are just seeing a "family doctor" you could ask him/her to refer you to a Neurologist.
Good Luck, I know things like this are a little scary, especially when you are young and every thing is supposed to still work good!!
Nikki, it sounds like you have a touch of Arthritis. Athritis is NOT just an old persons illness, it can affect young and old alike. There are some excellent herbal remedies for it and you can email me if you would like some advice on that.
It sounds as though you may have sciatica. See your doctor. in the mean time take some pain killers.
Sounds to me like Sciatica the sciatic nerve is at the base of your back and when pressure is put on it you would normally get referred pain which means although the problem is in your back you will get the pain elsewhere and with this condition it is normally your bum and legs, I get it in my knees and my bum and leg...and sometimes your toes go numb! Tell your GP the problem and ask is it possible it could be sciatica
It is probably arthritis. You can have it at 21... I do to, though not so bad, I guess. I take ibuprofen. Aspirin will also work. By the way, however much the company doesn't like it, Tylenol is not effective at treating arthritis, as it does not relieve inflammation.
Please do not take this the wrong way but, from my own personal experience, you may be drinking too much.
It could be sciatica however please get a diagnosis, then a second, and third opinion before going through any intense treatment. A heating pad works the best while keeping your leg slightly elevated. You may consider doing some light yoga exercises, there are some stretches just for sciatica pain. I personally have suffered with scoliosis %26 sciatica since I was 8 years old. Without knowing what it was. Come to find out many years later, my scoliosis started progressing after being hit by a truck, and the sciatic nerve then became pinched. If I had not found out when I did a surgeon was going to remove the rod %26 6 screws in my leg that had been there 15 years!
I agree with the earlier reply it could be sciatica.But it might be signs of osteoarthritis or gout,there are many variations of arthritis.I hope it goes well for you.
good luck, nikki, sounds like arthritis to me.
I'm also 21, and i am in constant excrutiating agony.(sonce the beginning of the year) I'm waiting, for yet another doctors apointment, but my docotor is soooo rubbish.
Let me know what they say, i'd like to know, so that i an also prepare for what to say to my doc, cos as yet i have no diagnosis.
i'm pretty sure it's arthritis, if it is, i'm buggered.
Good luck 鈾?

Hip Surgery?
Hi - I amlooking for opinions on total hip replacement. Did you have one? What was your experience? What do you think about ceramic... metal on metal and metal and plastic?Thanks.
Answer:
The price of hip surgery is very low in India as compared to USA, UK and Canada. My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results. She is totally pain free now. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as all joint surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by NHS in the UK. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.http://www.forerunnershealthcare.com...
Hope this helps.
Yes, I had both my hips replaced.
I have described my experiences with this surgery in depth as I have answered many questions about it on Y!A. If you'd like to read more about it, please see my profile and my answers to questions that pertain to hip replacement.
The "gold standard" of a hip replacement has been metal/poly for many years. They work very well in less active (usually older) people. The problem with them can be that they wear fast in more active (and usually younger) people and may require early revision surgery. For this reason other more durable materials have been devised for bearings. One of these materials is ceramic/ceramic. If I were getting my hips replaced today, I would definitely at least ask about ceramic. Another is highly crosslinked poly.
There is a concern with metal/metal bearings and the issue of metal ions in the blood, especially in women of childbearing age. However they are very durable also.
I don't think anyone still uses metal on metal nowadays. Metal on ultra high molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) are most commonly being used now. THRs have better success rate than TKR but still, it is recommended for the older age group(60 up) unless there is no other remedy but to use the replacements in younger individuals. If you are less than 60, ask your orthopedic doctor for alternatives before undergoing THR.

Hip problems?
i broke my hip when i was 15 and im now 21 and still to this day i suffer from alot of pain i have good days and bad days im going to see my doctor about it but i want some advice is there anything i can take for the pain?
Answer:
No doubt you are taking the usual analgesics.. OTC aspirin, Motrin, Tylenol and the like. Obviously your doctor will need to prescribe Rx medication to manage your pain. I fractured 3 vertebrae in my back from a mountain climbing (falling actually!) way back in 1987. Like you, I still suffer pain from that injury several times every year. I am sort of lucky however. I get migraines form time to time and have narcotic pain pills that my doctor prescribed. I use them when my back pain gets bad. And hold on everyone my doctor knows that I use those pain meds and he approves. One thing you might want to ask your doctor about is the use of amytripyline (amitriptyline) in low dosages as a prophylactic measure in preventing or reducing your hip pain. Hope you and your doctor can come up with a plan to eliminate or reduce your hip pain without the frequent use of narcotics.

Hip problems?
for as long as i can remember i have randomly had a problem where my hip and thigh will just randomly get a steady(not shooting) sharp pain down the front but its only when i am walking (not just sitting). well now it has gotten a lot worse and it feels like that everytime i get up from a sitting positionand then sometimes it will "fade away" and sometimes it gets a lot worse and i dont really know what is causing this pain. i wonder if it is some kind of pinched nerve (but there is no tingling sensation). does anyone know what the problem may be? there is no way that i can stop the pain...unless i sit down...but i just have to let it go away on its own. and i have found myself subconsciously walking differently to try to make the pain stop but that never works. any help would be appreciated.
Answer:
There could be several things that may be wrong with the hip. The most simple cause is a muscle spasm of your hip flexors. Try to stretch the muscles by getting down on 1 knee (on the side that hurts) and lunge as far forward as you can while keeping your body upright. You should feel a stretch in the front of your hip. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds and do it twice. Do this for a couple of days...if you see no change then I would recommend you see an orthopedic doctor to have your hip examined and have x-rays done.
Go and see a doctor.
i had the same problem some years ago. that ended by a hip joint replacement-prosthesis. consult a good orthopaedic surgeon
A lot of this depends on your age. Certainly you could have a degenerative hip condition if you were older, a fracture if you can recall some trauma to the leg, bursitis from over use but that is not very long term. If you are younger and athletic then you have probably fixated your sacro-iliac joint and its not wanting to move forward in extension. Go see a chiropractor. They can rule out all that severe stuff and send you where you need to go. More than likely it's something simple and they can help you in a couple of treatments.
Definitely is Sciatica.Look it up on the internet.

Hip Pain in 46 year old?
Okay my aunt is having some pain and I am trying to help her figure out what it may be - she is uninsured so it is truly hard to see a doctor right now.
A few months ago she slipped coming out of a large walk-in freezer- she did not fall but heard kinda of a crack sound and was fine after that. SInce then she has had a lot of hip pains- both sides. She says that if she has to be on her feet more than 30 minutes she would have to use crutches the pain is that bad. She also has lost range of motion- if she wanted to lift her leg -like a sizor kick she says it is extremely painful.
Please if you have experienced this or know of what it may be please help me give her some insight. I appreciate all your help- and remember she is only 46 - so it is not old age- thanks so much!
Answer:
There are several possibilities from bursitis, tendonitis, low back problems radiating pain into the hips. My best guess based on what information you provided is that when she feel, she ended up twisting her pelvis, causing the pelvis to go out of alignment. If this is the problem then she needs to see a physical therapist who can re-align her pelvis; otherwise she is going to continue to have pain.

Hip Out of Place?
Occasionally when I get up off the floor or walk my hip will feel like it's out of place and in a few minutes feel better. Anyway, yesterday I walked on my treadmill and after I got off of it, my hip felt weird. I was stretching and I felt it pop (it's never done that before). The rest of the day my hip was sore and felt out of place and I couldn't walk without limping. I tried doing the stretch I did before to get it to pop and it did 2 more times that day. I got up this morning and my hip is SORE and I cannot walk without limping. Does anyone have a similair problem to this? Do you think it's out of place? I've had it x-rayed before and the X-ray was normal. I plan to go to the chiropractor if it still hurts tomorrow.
Answer:
a chiropractor is An excellent idea. not only will they be able to find the source of the problem, but they will be able to help you live without pain. I have found more help with my hip problems then I got after many medical doctors.
I have had this. Are you doing stretches? Possibly you are training too hard. Slow down and stretch more.

High leg muscle pain question. Could it be serious?
3 weeks ago while playing soccer I felt like I pulled my quad. Right at the top of the front of my leg. I get sharp pains when I bend my knee and move my leg back. It doesn't hurt when I walk but I get the pain when I run and I couldn't gain speed when I tried. I also could not kick a soccer ball without getting the pain to the point where my leg couldn't stand. I was just wondering if it could be something serious or just a bad pulled muscle.
Answer:
Hmmm...Thiis Could Be Serious, But You Never Know Unless You Go To The Doctors, If You Really Dont Want To Than Try Logging Onto The Nhs Website And Type I Your Symptoms.Im Sure Its Nothing At All, Just Rest The Leg, Mabey Use A Hot Water Bottle And Keep It Propped Up At Night.If The Leg Doesnt Seem To Be Getting Better, I Would Advisee You Go To The Doctors To Just Get It Checked Out!!
Best Of Luck!
Hopee The Leg Gets Better Soon For You!

High deductible health Insurance?
Hello, What does high deductible prices mean in health insurance?
Answer:
It means you pay more than ever for services.
means you pay more out of pocket BEFORE the insurace picks up the majority of it. so if you have a 750$ deductible you need to pay 750$ before the insurance picks up. usually co-pays are not included. if you are a "healthy" person and dont use the dr much, higher deductible might be lower monthly premium.
hi check this link its good
http://insurancess.notlong.com
.
It means that you have not got a very good policy. You have to satisfy your 'deductible' before your health insurance administrator will begin paying for your medical expenses.High deductible policies are available to cover the costs of 'catastrophic' diseases or illness: essentially to pay for big ticket items like hospital confinements and major surgeries or for a protracted illness. Some insurance is better than none.

High blood pressure?
Every time I go to the doctor my blood pressure is "normal" so I have not been Diagnosed. But here lately I have been dizzy while driving, walking and such. When I walked into the store this afternoon I felt like I was flying above myself. I got dizzy and I sat down. It happens when I鈥檓 driving to the point where I grab my steering wheel tightly as not to fall or go off the road. I am overweight and I have not taken any meds except for lexapro 20 mg (over a year) and lunesta since November 06. I am not driving while the effects of the lunesta are still present. I have taken my BP at my moms house and it has been slightly high on occasion. Does it sound like high blood pressure to you? Either way I am going to call the nurse in the morning and tell her I just wanted opinions about it.
Answer:
I think it will turn out not to be high blood pressure. Other possibilities are side-effects from the Lunesta or Lexapro, blood sugar problems, vertigo, ear infection and inner ear problems, to name a few.
I am glad you're getting it checked out - best of luck.
no if anything it sounds like low blood pressure. The dizziness could also be a side effect of lexapro.
Sounds that way. Why not lose some weight and lower your sodium intake. This will help take the BP down.
It sounds like it could be a blood pressure issue.It also could be an inner ear thing going on throws off balance and causes dizziness. My migraines will also do that too me. They are not like the ones everyone knows about but it has made me think I was looking through crumbled up saran wrap and was also dizzy. Also On other thing is have you noticed that it happens we you skip eating a proper meal? My sugar level drops I get dizzy,sweaty,shaky,and my heart beats faster.
High blood pressure (Hypertension) and low blood pressure (Hypotension) both cause dizziness. You should relax for at least 15 minutes prior to taking your BP. There are alot of different reasons that cause dizziness. My advice to you is make an appt. w/ your physician especially if your driving.
That's smart move, make a appointment. It could be lots of things, no sense in making a diagnose; ask them to give you a panel, that will tell you exacting what is going on with your health. Good Luck!
I had high blood pressure too,and my DR. told to me to back off the salt, and alcohol. Since I did that, my blood pressure has been normal. You know too much weight is not good, as it can give you more problems, so I am glad you are going to see the nurse. You might think about having a complete physical, just to make sure everything is OK.
Kayla,
Make an appointment, but in the mean time... Just remember, these are only symptoms. God has given you the power to receive healing by His hand.God Bless.`

High blood pressure...?
On my homework today we were asked ,"If you eat 1/4th a cup of salt now, will your blood pressure show up high an hour later?"Well... instead of actually trying this out... I decided to get online and ask... does anyone know?
Answer:
1/4th of a cup of salt will simply kill you. It is too much of salt and your blood pressure will shoot up immediately. Please do not try this at all. It is just theory and let it remain a theory. Blood pressure has many reasons to shoot up. Primarily, more of NaCl will increase the BP, tensions and anxiety will also add to it. Lifestyle may affect BP, there are so many reasons why blood pressure shoots up suddenly. Most often, the increase in blood pressure is temporary, unless you actually suffer from hypertension.Essential hypertension is a complex problem because there is no obvious reason why the blood pressure is so high. Patients and doctors have to do some detective work to locate possible causes of high blood pressure. Here are some of the more common causes of high blood pressure: * Sedentary Lifestyle: Exercise helps maintain normal blood pressure, but few people get the amount of exercise they should to stay healthy.
* Smoking: That cigarette may relax a smoker, but it raises blood pressure, making the heart labor to maintain blood flow.
* Weight Gains: Extra weight increases blood pressure. Losing a few pounds is often the patient's first goal after being diagnosed with high blood pressure.
* Diet: Fats, cholesterol-rich foods and salt can all raise blood pressure.
* Alcohol: Heavy alcohol consumption has been linked to hypertension.
* Stress: Although stress is clearly related to elevated blood pressure, pinning down the cause of the stress may be difficult. What's stressful for one person may be relaxing for another. Determining stress sources and stress levels requires you to take a long, hard look at how you live your life. So what's the sodium-hypertension connection? Studies show that although going easy on salt and sodium will not prevent hypertension, it can lower blood pressure in those who have hypertension. In fact, even healthy people should watch their sodium intake. Here's the bottom line: nutrition experts recommend a healthful eating pattern moderate in sodium, a physical active lifestyle, and a healthy weight.Before you pick up the salt shaker, think about this - you weren't born with a love for salt. A new baby has four primary tastes - sweet, bitter, sour, and salty. A newborn will embrace sweet foods and reject sour or bitter, and can take or leave salty foods. To put it simply, if you are raised on salted foods, you will grow up thinking foods need to be salty to be tasty. Also, most of the sodium you consume comes from processed foods and foods eaten at restaurants.The good new is that you can "retrain" your taste buds. If you gradually decrease the sodium and salt in your diet, you'll find that your taste for salt declines, too. The less salt you consume, the less you'll want. By selecting lower sodium brands of foods and adding fruits and vegetables without adding salt, you can lower the sodium in your diet considerably. For added flavor, try using herbs, spices and salt-free seasoning blends. They're an easy, convenient way to add satisfying flavor to just about any recipe.
No you will not show up as high blood pressure an hour later.
DEFINITELY! Salt is a form of Sodium ion...Sodium does a number of things that will lead to a high blood pressure. It is the law that where sodium/salt is, the water follows. If there is abundance of salt in your system, there will be an increase in water too leading to edema or swelling. Swelling causes tightening of the blood vessels since its space is impinged by the swelling, this causes a higher pressure since it will be more difficult for the blood to pass through a tight vessel. Swelling of cells also causes hypervolemia meaning excessive volume/mass of blood in the body also making it harder for them to pass thru the vessels (may be due to crowding) leading to again a high BP. Sodium also activates the renin-angiotensin system which when activated causes further increase in blood pressure. So eating 1/4 cup of salt will not only increase your BP but it will also KILL you so it is a very good thing that you did not try it on yourself but instead posted your question here!

Hiding Scars?! HELP?
ok so i did some damage to myself . about a week ago and i got scars from it on my hand it wasnt do deep i was just playing around in class. cause i was bored it didnt even bleed much. But first it looked really bad and i hid it for couple days but i applied alot of scar minimizing cream and it helped.. but now that it is fully healed the scars are darker... like you can actually see them it wouldnt have been so bad if i i hadnt drawn a letter N on it. maybe if they were just lines i couldve said my dog did it... im visiting my doctor in two weeks and he was suspicious last time i saw him (old scars) i told him the dog did it... but i cant do that anymore how can i get rid of them?!
I cant do that cause of the N ... its clear that a dog couldnt have automatically drawn a N
Answer:
cover it with makeup
You can put cover-up on it. You shouldn't be causing damage to yourself.
get some foundation of your skin tone and cover it up!
you should buy a scar cream from walmart or any store that sells it its called merderma for adults.
Dude trust me when I say I'm a pro. Band-aids for the first week or so, saying you did it at school helping a teacher move something. then put neosporin on it EVERYDAY. After applying the neosporin use face POWDER, not cream, on it. Dab it on and lightly with a brush take the extra off.
The scar minimizing cream should do the trick especially if it's ONLY been a week. Nothing to worry about...unless you make a habit of damaging yourself.
mederma and vitamin e cream or oil

Hiccups....HELP?!?!?!?
I have had the hiccups for about an *hiccup* hour now, is there anyone who knows how to cure these darn things? *hiccup* Please I am desperate!! *hiccup*
Answer:
okay, laugh, but this works for me and my sister.a teaspoon of plain sugar. just eat it. i think it stops the cramping of the diaphragm.
Sip of water - deep breath - repeat for about six times. Should work.
Well try drinking a lot of water..Tht usually helps when i get the hiccups..Best of luck..U can also take deep breaths..
Drink a litre of water, then stand upside down on your head.if all of the above fails, try playing chicken in your car with a truck.
Look at your feet for 30 seconds. Its magic .
Spoonful of vinegar works instantly!
-suck on a lemon wedge
-pour a teaspoon of sugar down your throat
-put a straw under your tongue, (horizontally-each side sticking out of the left and right side of your mouth) and drink a glass of water
-stand w/ your back super straight against a wall, drink water
slowly drink 9 sips of water without taking a break in between or taking your lips off the glass.
nope i hate them sorry there is no way to make them go away people say its because yo do not have enough oxigen i your lungs so try to brethe in deeply and hope you get better sorry
goto the local bar/pub - ask them for bitters... i had the hiccups at a bar - bartender gave me bitters - gone!
PUT SUGAR ON THE TIP OF YOUR TONGUE AND SWALLOW A BIG GULP OF WATER OR THE OLD FASHIONED WAY LET SOMEONE CREEP UP ON YOU AND BE SCARED
Get a glass of water, take a small sip, then take a breath, take another small sip, then take a breath.Do this 9 or 10 times or so.Always works for me!!
This always works for me....While holding your breath, take around 7 sips of water. I always take small, slow sips. Works every time! (If you happen to hiccup in between the sips, then start all over again.)
raw lemon/lime juice.just a squirt
BOOO!
Place a pillow next to the wall. With help, stand on your head. Once upside down, have your helper feed you a glass of water. Drink until the glass is gone.This works evertime without failure.
if there is someone else there with you have them push on the little cartilage nobbies that stick out on your ears, right where it start to go into your innerear part and then while they are doing this take 10 small sips of water fast without breathing. I have 100% success rate with this.
I saw someone on TV say that hiccups is cause by having too much oxygen in your lungs. So you need to deprive your lungs.
Take a normal breathe, then blow out, and keep blowing. Keep pushing all the air out until you feel your lungs are empty.
Then do it again.
Hiccups. They are very annoying. Have you tried the "all-known" cures for them?
Such as:
Holding your breath or getting someone to scare you?I find that drinking water helps. Or lay on your side. ( It works, I've done it many times)Not trying to scare you but my father, his best friend had the hiccups for three months. Just an interesting tidbit to make the day go by. and maybe get rid of the hiccups lol. =]
okay, this sounds really bizaree but I swear it works. Find a pen and pour yourself a glass of water. Now, stick the pen in your mouth like...like...like a dog would chew on a bone I guess. Now, while your teeth are still holding the pen, try to drink the glass of water. You might spill a little, but you only need a sip of water. And, somehow that cures hiccups. It's something about the way you swallow the water.
That's a bit complicated, though, lol. Usually I just wait them out.
Take a few short breaths as fast as you can and then take a deep breath and hold it.
Sip water while your holding your breath and tilt your head back sharply with every swallow.
Repeat until you cannot hold your breath any longer.
Then take another deep breath and drink the rest of the water in glass in one gulp as fast as you can.
What works for me:Take a drink of something but BEFORE you swallow..tilt your head back..then swallow! Works every time for me. Hope this helps.
hold your breath,,,,,,,which means you will have to shut your mouth for at least a minute all while holding your breath,,,,hiccups are breathing related,,stop breathing for a period,,always worked for me
if you can safely use it, then shake a little salt onto your hand palm and lick it, while Pinching your noise and holding you breath few minutes.
Few drops of Tabasco sauce in a 4 oz glass of cold water and drink it, the old tradition medicine helped me. Try it, hope you feel better soon.
For the tips of the day.
The only thing that works for me is to hold my breath.Also, once I heard that hiccups is just a severe form of heartburn, so taking an antacid might help too.
Hiccups are abrupt involuntary contractions of the diaphragm that causes an intake of breath and closes the sound-producing folds at the top of the windpipe (vocal cords), resulting in a convulsive gaspThe contractions of the diaphragm is said to be commonly induced by minor stomach upsets. That's why most of the answers above has something to do in soothing the stomach with water or sugar.Some are secondary to a psychogenic cause, meaning arising from a mental or emotional processes or originating in mental or emotional rather than in physiological processes. Thus some hiccups are consistent even with first aids, thus it needs a psychotic drug.For your first aid aside from water and sugar, Dill tea is popularly used to soothe hiccups, and ailments ranging from flatulence to insomnia.

They're really comfortable! Lots of health care workers wear them because they keep your feet comfortable when you're on your feet all day. They sell then at Payless Shoes and they're pretty cheap.
Hi your daughter wants a pair of crocs ,my daughter wears them shes 12 and loves them they havent harmed her feet they are really soft like rubber Go On Let Her Have Them
they are comfortable shoes, but they have no health benefits to speak of, they are better than going barefoot, but then any shoe provides that. Personally I prefer Birkenstocks, they at least help to improve posture.
actually they help, remove odor from feet because of the holes , plus they are very comfy so they wont cause blisters.

I used to be a waiter and with being on your feet all day, everyone said they are the healthiest, most comfortable shoes ever. I can't say I've tried them because I can't see myself wearing ANYTHING as ugly! Harsh, but true, sorry! =)
Get them! I remember when I was a child, I would screw (silently) if my Mom said no. There's a lot of pressure on teens these days for fashion. Plus, they are so comfy and safer than pumps!
The short answer: yes you should get them for herThe Long answer: Crocs are incredibly comfortable as everyone has said and as for being ugly yes they are but do you remember when Ugg boots first appeared everyone thought they were the ugliest boots ever but now they are so commonplace that how they look isn't an issue. Crocs are healthy as they can be easily cleaned in water with a bit of bleach so there is no bacteria build up. 3 months ago I could never image myself wearing something that appeared to be so hideous but now having succumbed to them and bought a pair I can not imagine myself with out them. Hope that helps makes you decision easier

Hi I waxed my upper lip myslef and i ripped out alot of skin its now a red wound will there be any scarring?
My skin was dry... really dry before i did it ! well the skin is ripped out it 2 places . I need to know if its going to scar I don't think i went tooo deep or anything ..but its been like a red wound for 2 days now... when i say wound its not crusty or anything like that just sorta red you know ... Should i be leaving it alone totally or should I be applying vaseline to it my mom said thats good for that kind of stuff ... plz help
Answer:
Did it bleed? Then you really, really need to see a dermatologist, who might be able to give you special medicine and bandages to prevent scarring. If not, use your own judgement.My friends were just talking about a lady who had permanent scars from waxing her upper lip . . . . Better safe than sorry.
Use triple antibiotic ointment. It will reduce the chance of scaring and infection. You can buy it at the pharmacy without a prescription.
Ouch! I did that once but to my chin. The price we pay for beauty, huh? It shouldn't scar but just to be sure, try a neosporin or cocoa butter. Vaseline is good too. Anything that will keep the skin well moisturized should aid in the healing process and help prevent scarring
I did that once too, it hurt like a ***** and it looked horrible afterwards.. It sucked. I didn't have any scarring though...
