This is a cute thread kek

An anonymous image board, what a great place to receive medical advice! Retard

>>444332
no it's not. if you have a genuine concern you should go to a doctor. anything beyond that is just feeding your OCD. this thread is ass

Here’s some advice, the best time to go to the emergency room is first thing in the morning because certain people don’t get up that early

I love this site and I really mean that. You nonnies will make a thread about everything.

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?

>>444334
It's more the title that I found cute, but anons already seek and give medical advice here all the time anyway so I don't see the big deal. It's not encouraging anything that isn't already done.

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.

What should I do if I get piercing pain in my head after reading the Fandom Discourse thread?

Going outside and touching grass will do the trick. Get your vitamin D.

>>444363
i recommend leeches or bloodletting

Personally i'm a big fan of the hide the thread button

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.

Is shitting more than 4 times a day normal?

>>444524
no

>>444524
No

>>444524
No, last time that happened to me I got food poisoning from Huckleberry’s.
You might have a GI disorder if it isn’t food poisoning.
>>444511
Thanks! I looked it up but my heart rate wasn’t that fast, all the other symptoms match up though. Maybe I got an asthma attack… ?

>>444524
It depends on your normal pooping schedule. Have you always pooped that much before and have no pain? You're fine. If it's a new thing and have pain? Not normal.

>>444699
samefag, have you been adding a lot of fibre? That could be a reason why too.

I've now completely lost my voice and I dont know how to help it. My throat is so painful and my nose keeps running, I'd eat 5 cloves of garlic straight if this is what it will take, how do I get better!!!!!

>>445154
Drink plenty of water regularly and warm (not hot) foods such as these. Avoid speaking at all costs and stay inside a warm room that has some humidity to it.

>>444362

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.

>>445154
traditional medicinal throat coat tea might help with the pain

>>445154
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?

>>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".

>>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

>>445731
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.
Sorry for sperg, hope this info helps!

>>445734
thanks anon. i put my chicken back into the freezer yesterday because i couldn't decide what to do. i'm gonna throw it away

>>445810
Glad to have helped! Hope you had a good dinner!

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?

>>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?
