You have a long way to go before worrying too much. Get into college first, do well in undergrad. Get into med school. There is a long way ahead of you, and you have to make sure this is what you really want. Honestly, not having all A's in 10th grade won't bar you from med school. I know people that got B's in some Biology courses that got into med school just fine and are well on their way to being doctors. But Undergrad is generally a lot harder than High School, and Med School is infinitely harder than undergrad, so if you're struggling with straight A's right now, just think what it will be like to struggle for straight A's in college. I'm not trying to discourage you, but there is a lot to do before you're really ready to become a doctor. After high school the next 12 years of your life are devoted to becoming the best damn doctor you can be.\n\nThe 12 years after high school are generally, 4 years of undergrad (Pre-Med), 4 years of Med-School, and mostly 4 years of a residency, depends on the specialty. The undergrad years are generally your most fun, but are still crucial. Now I don't want you to be a naive little gunner and overwhelm yourself like most pre-meds, so watch out for scheduling yourself to do too much (volunteering at the hospital, trying to do some extra research, taking too many hard classes at once, doing shadowing rotations). And while you are doing extra curriculars, make sure you're making them worthwhile, like if you're shadowing a pediatrician, ask them as many questions as you can without coming off annoying. Just do your best in these years, and keep your GPA high and study as much as you can for the MC AT (Expect to study up to 6-8 hours a day). Then once you do get accepted into a med-school, prepare for the first stage of hell. It will involve constant studying, with maybe a few hours A WEEK for fun, and not much time for you to have a fun life. A residency is your next step, and once you're there, you will spend time running around the hospital picking up as much info as you can on how to become a pediatrician.\n\nJust don't buy into all the glam our of the life of a doctor, you might change your mind about becoming one, or might change your specialty, or who knows. There is a lot of work ahead of you kid, and I wish you the best of luck, but make sure you have your wits about you, and actually understand the profession inside and out. And understand that you'll end up in debt most likely, and that family life will be really hard while in med school. Realize that malpractice insurance comes with the job, and that not just bad doctors get sued. Becoming a pediatrician is one of the most prestigious careers you can choose, but it comes with so many hardships that anyone who is too weak will be sorted out very quickly, make sure you know what you're in for, and that you're strong enough to make it. Best of luck.

you have a lump the size of a lemon and you're asking here what to do?\n\nGet to a Dr whom you trust.  Second opinions are not for nothing!\n\nIf your parents are not terribly concerned, but you are, see your school nurse and let her help you decide what to do.\n\nBest wishes.

You definitely want to see a doctor, but not a narrow specialist in SUCH kind of a problem. The most likely one is a physician in a local ambulatory center. But if you have a relative in this area, it's even better. Don't be too shy. Keep in mind that this is about your future. Be brave! Let God bless you with a good health!!!

I don't think that that is normal. If I were you I would go to your school nurse and explain it to her...tell her your just concerned and maybe if she talked to your mom about it then it  might convince her that seeing a Dr. wouldn't hurt.\nI do want to say however that I'm sure things are fine and it may just be a hormonal imbalance that can be treated with medication. Don't think that there is something seriously wrong with you.  The best thing to do is to talk with the nurse and/or Dr. just to get things checked out.  Good luck hun...it's an inconvenience to have a period for a few days much less a few weeks...hang in there

Hi There, I'm not a doctor so I can't diagnose, I can suggest a few things though.  Has your doctor ran blood tests to rule out thyroid, anemia, infections, etc?  How has your blood pressure been?  Do you take any medicines? There are so many things that can cause those symptoms, so I'd say rule out anything they can with blood work, watch your blood pressure, get a chest and sinus xray, and get your ears checked out, heart tests, and if none of that shows anything, maybe allergy tests.  If all those are negative, it could be stress, or something like fibromyalgia.  They really need to do more of a evaluation on you.  Have you been exposed to anything last October maybe at school?  paint fumes? any building remodeling?
