I will not do your homework for you.\n\nAsking other people to do your homework is not just dishonest and lazy it is really stupid.

Yes there are many ways of screening for cancer, blood tests show some forms of cancer, CT Scans, MIR's Mamagrams, ultrsound.

Blood is not blue.  They just draw it that way in science books so you can distinguish arteries from veins.  You can take this to the bank.

could be, you probably need to have it checked by your doctor to be sure. There are several possibilities. It may be something as simple as a bruise you did not realize you sustained or it could be a deep vein thrombosis or other serious problem. Cant diagnose it without seeing it, sorry!

It can depend on how deep the vessel was that was injured with the bump. You can bleed deeply and it takes several days for the blood to surface hence the late blooming bruise or... you injured a vessel but it did not break open, then in your sleep you hit it or pulled by stretching and the injured vessel then leaked hence the bruise.

I would ask your doctor to do a upper extremity vascular ultrasound on your arms. You are young but you never know if already have some vascular problems in your arm. Some people have a strong family history of vascular problems and just start having problems early. Now it could be nothing at all so don't start worrying. It's falling asleep due to lack of blood/oxygen to that area. Either you are leaning way too hard on it or you have the vascular problem that i mentioned before. Try to see if some type of weight bearing exercises on your arms helps relieve the problem while waiting on that ultrasound.

Most specialsist will want you to start with you family doctor. There are many things that can appear to be a stroke, but aren't. They can do the initial testing and then get you into the appropriate specialist (if needed) quicker than if you made an appointment on your own.\n\nA carotid ultrasound is the easiest, cheapest, and best way to screen for stroke risk. It should be done (if possible) by a high volume ultrasound department.\n\nShould significant narrowings of the carotid arteries be found, then the patient should see a vascular surgeon. These are THE specialists in treating carotid artery disease.

There's some kind of test in which a doctor can give you mild shocks and stick a needle in at certain points on your arm, for instance, and he can read the electric waves from the nerves in the that area. He can tell if it's coming from the neck, back or if it's carpal tunnel. I've had it done and it sounds a lot worse than it is--and I'm a big baby with stuff like this. I wish I knew the name.

The only way anything can be determined is by a biopsy. Which is a small surgical procedure. They just take a small piece of the liver and run tests.

You would be surprised what they can tell from a mammogram.  They can actually tell if this is just dense breast tissue or a cyst or tumor of some sort.  They will probably do an ultrasound on it as well.  If they still can't tell, the next step will either be a needle core biopsy or MRI.  Probably the MRI, this is the most accurate, non-invasive test they have.  I went through this process myself last year.  I suffer from fibrocystic breast disease and have MULTIPLE fibroid tumors in my breasts.  Each of these tumors is benign.  However, I continue to have my annual mammograms where they send me through the entire battery of tests to make sure none of these fibroids have become cancer.  If there is any question whatsoever in your doctors' minds about this lump in your breast, they will biopsy and/or remove it.

A pelvic sonogram can reveal the possibility of uterine cancer if the lining of the uterus cavity demonstrates either normal or increased thickness. If an endometrial stripe is very thin, 4mm or less, most studies indicate that no cancer exists, and no biopsy is needed.

There are several different methods and applications. The most common is using them as contrast agents: the solution containing radioactive isotope (say Iodine) injected into specific side (depends on the area of interest - might be specific organ or vessel) and after that using special radiation detecting equipment they monitor the movement of this agent through specific tissues or blood. Using this technique many health problems can be diagnosed. The radioactive istotpes used here are usually short living and do not cause hurm to the body.

Believe it or not it is blue while it is still in our bodies. You can tell by looking at a place in your body where the skin is thin like the inside of your arm or on your inner wrist. Where there is a blood vessel there is a blue line. Then once the blood gets exposed to oxygen it turns red.

Doctors would normally not miss out a physiological murmur (a normal and insignificant murmur) from a pathological one.  When two doctors have given you similar finding, you must start believing at least one of them.  If anyone had even an iota of doubt about the nature of the murmur, surely they would have suggested certain more investigations including an echocardiogram.  However, a colored echocardiogram would give you a definite answer and would be able to certainly differentiate between a normal heart and a heart with some pathology that is causing a heart murmur.  Please undertake this investigation at the earliest, otherwise you are liable to land up with what is termed as ‘cardiac neurosis’.  You may also like to get your hemoglobin and thyroid levels checked as anaemia (low hemeoglobin) and thyrotoxicosis (high thyroid hormone levels or the sensitivity) are leading causes besides young age, anxiety, pregnancy, fever, and other causes of hyperdynamic circulation.  Already the pathologic nature of the murmur has been ruled out by the clinicians of which there are different other reasons.

No, an echo is only an ultrasound scan and is non-invasive.  What you are probably experiencing is stress caused by your worrying about the echo.  You probably have furred up cardiac arteries and the stress is causing them to narrow further and giving you the pain (angina!).\n\nYou seriously need to see your doctor and ask about having an angiogram, it could be that you either need antiangiotensive medication, an angioplasty or even a coronary artery bypass graft.

Get to a Dr., NOW !!!!!!\nYou might have a broken blood vessel.
