I think it's nice, sometimes my friends and I will talk about medical stuff in a casual way and give each other advice, obviously it's not professional but me telling someone to give Excedrin migraine a shot isn't out of the question if she's having a really bad headache, surely?

All right I’ll be the first to bite on health issues.

One time I had this tight grip feeling on my chest. I swear to god it felt like a heart attack. It also felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest, I had to stop walking to my car and sit down on the pavement cuz the pain was so bad. It was coming in waves and I went to the emergency room (Luckily I was on campus and we have a hospital nearby). Before I went to the emergency room I took out some heartburn tablets from my backpack in case it was a heartburn episode which I doubted at the time because it had been 4-5h since I last ate anything but I did it just in case.

The doctor did some scans, and they found nothing wrong with my heart tissue. I told them I ate some heartburn tablets and the pain went away, dunno if it was a placebo or anything. They said it was prob heartburn then but I didn’t tell them I didn’t eat anything for 4-5h…

Anyway they sent me home, and am wondering if I should go back to check the chest pain out again in case I ever get another attack. Doesn’t seem to be heart related, maybe it was lung related? Though I have a strong suspicion it was heartburn related, maybe I have an ulcer in my esophagus right near my heart so that’s why it felt absolutely awful? Any guesses? I’m scared if it comes back. It isn’t stress related, I had no anxiety or stress when the attack occurred.

It could have been supraventricular tachycardia. It causes your heart to beat too fast. It's caused by over stimulation of the nerves that control the heart. Some people get random episodes that last a few minutes and then goes away again.

Did you have an x-ray? If it was lung related they would see it on the x-ray. I have had two collapsed lungs on my right side and it's a very distinct 'heartburn' like pain. Coupled with crazy heart rate but stable blood oxygen reading. And a feeling of bubbling air rising in the chest/sound of chest clicking. A quick X-ray will show that though. I'm sure maybe you just had major heartburn, but if it happens again make sure to get checked out.

Your nose keeps running, you are probably experiencing some post nasal drip. You most likely want to stop the runny nose, reduce inflammation in the affected areas and reduce fatigue. If you have access to something like pseudoephedrine or
oxymetazoline use them, but only for a few days. I would suggest you check and see if your glands are swollen. A runny nose can cause sore throats but it doesn't normally cause symptoms that sound like laryngitis. You could also be dealing with a sinus infection or rhinitis. The Traditional Medicinals tea is really good at soothing.

I was on the couch working earlier and I suddenly started feeling very dizzy, lightheaded, sluggish and weak. My breathing got slow and when I laid back I fainted. I was out for more than an hour. Never passed out before in my life, but I've been dealing with severe stress & burnout. A friend suggested it could've been the prolonged anxiety attack I had all day but is there anything else I should think of? Is this worth making a drs appointment over?

No. 445699

>>445690
Losing consciousness is always worth making a doctor's appointment over, if not heading straight for an emergency room.
Yes, many times fainting can be stress or blood pressure related. But risking sudden unconsciousness being something more serious and not finding out in time is not worth it. The amount of time you were unconscious greatly concerns me, it does not seem typical of average "fainting spells".

No. 445721

>>445690
Could it have been some sort of seizure or brain bleed? Not all seizures are the shaking kind. It’s unusual to pass out suddenly when you are already sitting down/resting. How did you feel when you woke up?

i left my chicken at room temperature to defrost from 9am - 5pm i thought i was gonna cook teh chicken for lunch but i ended up not doing that. will i get salmonella

No. 445734

If you touch that chicken and it is not at least cold, you are going to have a terrible time. If it is warm at all, throw it out.
USDA says you should not have left it out for more than two hours, or you are at risk. Personally, I have never gotten sick from food that still had ice in it, but reasonably you should write it off.

Refrigerator thawing is best, straightforward instructions in link, along with alternative methods
https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/food-safety-basics/big-thaw-safe-defrosting-methods
Also you can cook foods frozen
>The cooking will take approximately 50% longer than the recommended time for fully thawed or fresh meat and poultry.

Recently my hands have been entering this phase on and off where they're wildly overreacting to mild heat. For example I'll try to pick up a spoon that's in warm food, and it feels like I grabbed super hot metal even though it's probably barely above room temperature. I don't get what's going on because they look normal, like my skin is maybe slightly dry if you nitpick but there's no redness or injury. Touching cold stuff helps so I've been icing my hands whenever I can but the burning pain returns if they get room temperature or warmer. This will last for hours at a time when it starts and then goes away, idk what triggers it.
This is an issue because I work in a restaurant where my job is literally handling hot food. Anyone know what could cause the sensation of intense burning pain when everything looks normal? I don't even know how to report this because there's no visible symptoms. It definitely feels like a surface thing as opposed to bone pain or something so idk do I have nerve issues or something

How do I know if I'm having panic attacks? I think I've been getting them everyday for a while now, but the thing is, I'm not sure if that's what they are. It's hard to describe what happens to me but it's basically a surge of anxiety and it makes me cry and shiver. I'm embarassed so I don't really want to explain. This hasn't happened to me since I was a teen and I was never diagnosed. What should I do?

No. 445829

>>445828
Go to the dr and get tested for deficiencies. Take a big dose of vitamin c in the meantime, vitamin c reduces anxiety and you can take it every day. Have you moved? Can it be mold? Allergies?

I actually am epileptic, but didn't think at all it could be a seizure since I've been relatively seizure-free and when I do have them, they're focal-aware or in my sleep and very short. I was confused and scared when I woke up, I tried to talk to my roommate who walked by and had trouble expressing myself, still sluggish.

>>445699
I'm thinking of making the doctor's appointment. I've felt pretty weak and anxious since it happened and my mom suggested it could've been a transient ischemic attack. The strange part really is the amount of time I was out, which doesn't match anything I've looked at online, and leads me to think my body just fell asleep after fainting for a short moment.

Ayrt about seizures, Anon are you kidding me? You’re fucking epileptic and just experienced a bout of losing consciousness followed by confusion and difficulty expressing yourself. You need to go to the doctor as soon as possible. Fainting from low blood sugar or stress DOES NOT
>put you out for an hour
>happen when you were already sitting down for a while
>result in confusion and difficulty communicating

Whatever happened to you is 100% neurological and it sounds a lot like the seizures/episodes a family member of mine started getting due to malformed blood vessels in her brain. She gets dizzy, very tired, headache, loses consciousness and sleeps for a long time, and is confused and can’t communicate properly afterwards. Make a neurologist appointment ASAP.

>Have you moved? Can it be mold? Allergies?
No, and I don't think it's mold or allergies, but I wouldn't know how to test that either. The constant daily anxiety started like a month ago, but it's been only getting worse very recently in which I get so so much anxiety buildup that my body gets tense and it hurts. And then I cry, shiver, I get sweaty and sometimes I get palpitations. I feel embarrassed with this stuff.

I have mycoplasma pneumonia. My gp doesn't kow what else to do after 4 boxes of 2 types of antibiotics. I went to the hospital, my roentgen photos are clear but my left lung hurts like a motherfucker for days. It used to only hurt at night, but now it's all the time. The doctor at the hospital didn't give a fuck at all and just sent me home with no advice or pills. I have a high temperatire for a month and a half as well. I have an alternative medicine type of device on my back which helped me for 3 days but now it's back to being bad. I drink herb teas for lung health, try various painkillers which some help, some don't but it doesn't solve the problem. I don't know what else to do, it's not getting better no matter what i try.
Did anyone healed from this somehow? I saw there has been reports about "walking pneumonia" on american youtube but there's no advice about it anywhere. It's a resistent bacteria from china it seems, guess i'll die.

No. 449123

nonna i'm sorry to hear that! do you have any way to see a different doctor and get their opinion, even just to take a listen to your lungs and review the scans? aside from that, in the meantime make sure you're very very well hydrated #1, and when you're awake you should be walking and doing light activity bcus laying or sitting too much can make it worse. have you tried mucinex/guaifenesin? it can help thin out some of the secretions to cough them out and speed up recovery. also, keep some extra pillows propped up behind your head/neck/chest when you sleep so that you can breathe easier while asleep and get better rest which is crucial for healing.

Thanks nonna, I have couple of meds for thnning my cough and my cough isn't that bad anymore but my lung is still hurting and i still have the same temperature. It's so weird. I could finally start taking magnesium again after i finnished the antibiotic and the lung dosn't hurt like it's been sliced by a knife anymore which is nice, but it still hurts a lot.

No. 449894

of course nona. respiratory illnesses can take forever to completely clear up.
its a good thing to have an slightly elevated temp bcus it helps your immune system fight off the infection, as long as it doesn't get too high.
another suggestion is to try and do some deep breathing and back stretches/exercises. the one in this video is good.
also- try 'splinting' if you haven't already. basically just take a pillow, and put it on the part of your chest that hurts and apply pressure whenever you need to take a deep breath, cough, sneeze, laugh, etc. it helps it hurt a lot less, if the pain is really bad.
just don't do it with a ton of pressure or all the time though, because you need your lungs to expand fully (do the video!).
i hope you start feeling better soon! make sure you follow up with your docs and make a new appt if anything starts feeling worse ok

I think I had food poisoning without knowing. I slept for 2 days and woke up dizzy, tired, with a headache, my entire body felt light and like it was floating, too weak to stand up or walk. I was severely hungry, too, ate some yogurt and ended up throwing up the yogurt with some green stuff I can't identify. Like neon green, sick green kind of green. I took a nap after and had some food after I woke up and went back for another nap. I feel a bit better but the headache and light feeling is still there. I took paracetamol as well. I had a snack and some green tea and I feel some improvement. Is this from food poisoning or too much sleep or not eating for 2 days?

I was wondering if sex havers could help me. I read through comments on a lot of Reddit posts and a few health websites, but I'm not sure which to believe about when it's a good time to get tested for certain STDs and STIs. The answers all seem to be different and since most of the answers are extremely old and it's going to be 2025 soon, is there a resource that has updated timeframes for them all? I keep seeing "three months, six months, and a year" mentioned, but do you agree with that? I'm afraid of taking a test for something and thinking I'm safe because it showed up as a negative when really it's because I got tested too early. It has been a month since I gave oral, but a few days after that incident I masturbated with spit. Did I potentially fuck myself over more?

No. 457084

>>457070
For the last part no, if its a virus you can only get infected once by the same virus, you can't infect yourself. For a bacteria, it doesnt matter bc when you get on oral antibiotics it cures you systemically. Test around two weeks after sex for things like gonorrhea and chlamydia, then 3 months later for hiv or syphilis
