do people ask medical questions on here?  I know a lot of people are just asking questions to goof around but gawd isn't it common sense that if something is out of the oridinary you should talk to a medical professional?!

I wonder what the doctor said..\n\nMaybe you should fine another doctor.  One the specialize in that.\n\nGood luck.

hmm, it could be a lot of things. Posting here is the wrong place, because people will tell you all sorts of things. I have my opinion but the most important is your doctors. If your not getting answers with this one, try another

Most of us in the medical profession give an answer based on knowledge and/or experience....and we always make a point of saying....talk to your physician or get to the ER pronto.  The question about the BP of 200/100 bothered me also...Using "herbs" was not a good answer either (it wasn't chosen)....that BP needed quick intervention...\n\nI think the questions are sincere...at least most of them.  I also know answers can be found in a search engine.  I think some people ask questions on this type forum to get their answers in layman's term, not medical mumbo jumbo.  I also think many are afraid to ask questions of those who care for them and/or their loved ones.  Lets face it, some doctors do not visit a patient long enough to allow pts time to ask questions...and if the questions are asked, they (the doctors and other medical personel) throw out terms the average person never heard of.....\n\nI think there is a need for this type forum....I also think the persons asking questions should do more research via their physician and on the internet.  The answers here should not be a quick fix, nor should the askers limit their knowledge to what they read in these answers.\n  \nPersonally I have learned a lot about different areas of medicine because of some answers. I've gone into specific areas I found in search engines...because I knew what to look for from the info given.  Sometimes the info is a link...sometimes it is a term used....it differs, but the door IS open to do the research.\n\nI would suggest that every person asking a question get better use from the answers by doing more research if there is time...or get to your physician or ER if the problem needs immediate intervention....Got chest pain?  Don't stop here...bypass Yahoo and get to the ER!!  DAH!

This is really too serious a situation to ask on this service. Please ask your doctor.

What one person finds embarrassing another person might not, so those questions that you consider not to be embarrassing   may be very embarrassing for the asker.  So they post a question here rather than visit their GP.\n\nSometimes being friendly with your GP is a stumbling block when it comes to asking personal questions and some people would prefer to speak to a locum doctor whom they have never met before.\n\n\nEDIT I think I have completely the wrong end of the stick here. Thinking about my reply. I think that some of the medical questions asked on here are deliberately gross so as to shock us and not even worthy of a reply. \n\nAnd as for your comments about your favourite questions about pregnancy and women who have just given birth. You have no idea my friend no idea what you are going on about....and it's just sheer ignorance for you to make comment.\n\n\nHi there again if you don't mind me saying, if you expect the right type of answers would it be fair to say that you need to tell us the whole story before you post your question? That way you will get answers that are worth the paper they are typed on.\n\nGood news about the wee one though. Congratulations.\n\nNo 10 points for me then!

Do NO SUCH THING! Don't take the opinion of random people from Yahoo Answers over your physician, especially involving a child with a respiratory problem!!\n\nNone of you are qualified to make diagnoses, or give advice to a person you have NOT met. That is DANGEROUS!!

Call your doctor in the a.m.   There is so much info out there that is wrong.  And what it means in one person's situation doesn't mean it in the next person's situation.  You might worry over nothing if someone tells you something is awry.  You might also get shocked when you go to the dr. if someone tells you it means you're ok.  So, my answer is don't worry and call your doctor.

Please, don't put your health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your mind and body. Consult your doctor.

A doctor would the place to start to have these questions answered. I wouldn't rely on a bunch of wanna be doctors to give you the answers!

Don't you think you should see a DOCTOR about this??? I can't believe you are going to take medical advice from a stranger over the internet...

Go see another doctor if you don't like the one you are at now, or don't feel they are giving you a fair shake. Doctors are human too, and there could be many reasons that they're glossing over your case. There could be a number of problems it could be, but without the proper information, not even a doctor online could tell you what is wrong. Without knowing this, one of the most likely and most dangerous problems to look for would be a pulmonary embolism. This however hits pretty quickly, but nonetheless a consideration. Again, go see another doctor!

I don't know what to tell you. You really worried me a lot. But if you are concerned talk to your doctor don't be scared of asking them questions, that's why they are there to help people that are needing answers. you can also visit the web med.\nI think that's all I can say, but I pray with my heart. god bless.

talk to your doctor about it

I assume your doctor is still looking into it, rather than just giving you an E.E.G. and sending you home...\n\nSeizures are serious, and have many, many different causes. If one doctor isn't doing enough to satisfy your needs, never be too polite to go to one who will. A second opinion is your right, always.
