Medical Condition That Involves Being Tired When Getting Lots of Sleep? I've noticed that I get really tired when I have more sleep. But when I sleep 2-3 hours a night, the day following I'm extremely focused and active. I'm not saying I'm excessively tired, it is just that when I get less sleep I function normal, but when I get like 6-10 hours of sleep I feel like everything is hard to focus on, etc. Is there any medical condition to describe this? Anyone know what may be causing this?

Do you believe or have you experienced a O B E from a medical condition as sleep apnea? I will be tested on this condition because I believe that I have this problem with sleep apnea. This may explain one reason why I have out of body experiences......If your not breathing good while asleep, this in return will cause your heart rate to slow down. When your heart rate slows to a certain point, your soul is then released and floats out of body. Your fast heart rate is what holds your spirit-soul in the body. This sleep apnea can be a serious condition, and I do remember jumping out of bed from a deep sleep because I was in need to catch my breath and breathe. I do believe in one of my out of body experiences I did die for seconds, or they on the other side thought I was dead.....This is what happen that night....I was sleeping alone in the home at the time, I all of a sudden was aware, I first heard many voices as if I were somewhere else. Perhaps like I said died, and the voices were those on the other side that came to guide me to the other side. I then floated halfway out of my body feet first as if someone grabbed my legs and pulled me out, perhaps they were thinking, "Why is he still in his body if he's dead". Then I remember turning around and I crawled back in my body, but I am now in my body the wrong way, then I felt my spirit spin around to righten itself. I actuall felt my spirit swipe the inside of my body when I spun. Then I woke up. All of my out of body experiences is when I am sleeping. So does this make sense to you, and for those who do have out of body experiences, do you know if you have a sleeping condition to where your breathing isn't very good? This makes a lot of sense to me, OBE, as I see this from another aspect. There is more ways to have an out of body experience, and I am sure this is one way or cause for it to happen. You don't need air when your out of body.....I had done it enough to know what an out of body is, just wondering if this medical problem is a cause for it to start.

Medical Condition - lightheaded, foggy feeling, sleep issues, please help.? Hi, I'm a 26year old male, very fit (exercise 20mins every night) For about 1mth now I've felt real foggy in the head and light headed. I first went to the hospital and they diagnosed me with minimal sinus bradycardia (their answer was your 26 fit impervious to damage--GO AWAY) and refered me to a specialist. I couldn't sleep at first and started having panic attacks so the doctor prescribed me xanax. Anyways so Im not taking the pills and I've noticed that I can't sleep at night now because after about 1hr of lying down my left side feels weaker then usual (Im left handed too) I see stars when drifting off to sleep and head spins and I instantly awake, I can also feel my heart pounding slowly but sometimes when lying in the foetul position my other abdominal organs hurt too this intermittenten though, and also neausea. So I seen the specialist and he did the usual tests, an echo of the heart, fine! then a holter test, fine! and then some blood tests which showed normal readings--YOUR FINE REFERED ME TO SOMEONE ELSE. Now im seeing a neurologist and he's performing more blood tests and have an MRI + EEG to do too. I'm just so frustrated because I'm always light headed and feel like a zombie. I havent slept in 3 days, I'm starting to get depressed because people think I'm making it up and I feel like im functioning on auto pilot. Anyone with similar issues. When I was in the hospital the did a ECG and it came out normal a little slower but when they hooked me up to that pulse reading machine next to the bed my rate was all over the place like to 67 then to 45 then to 39 then to 57 etc etc. Doctor just goes thats weird. GP thinks Im crazy, I know Im not, the physical symptoms are there but for some reason they're not picking them up.. Any help would be much appreciated as Im increasingly getting more depressed because I keep getting the your young fit what could possibly go wrong with you.

Is there a medical condition that would cause someone to sleep all day & be up all night - for months? First of all, he's not a well guy. He has back problems. He's got a pinched nerve. He's got fibromyalgia. He's in a lot of pain and he takes a lot of painkillers and other pills for other assorted problems. So I was patient and understanding at first. But he has been telling me lately that it's impossible for him to sleep at night, which means he must sleep all day. And he's been doing this for a couple of months now. And it's getting worse ... I used to see him for a couple of hours per day, but now, nothing. We have a toddler with special needs that I watch all day. And more recently I've been trying to work during the day also, while watching her. I feel that he's avoiding the responsibility, that he's fine with watching TV all night while we sleep. So it possible he actually has something else wrong with him? I keep telling him to mention this to the doctors, but he never does.

I have a medical condition that may hamper team activities. Should I inform my team members of this? I have a medical condition that can hamper my team activities if the condition gets serious from time to time. I gets worse especially when I am physically tired. I am in a graduate school and there are lots of team projects. Last Friday, even though I was sick (due to the worsened medical condition from fatigue after 4 days of long work) I went to the team meeting place 20 minutes earlier, while other guys showed up 20 to 30 minutes later than the promised time. If I could use the extra time for sleep, I could have been in better condition. Still, there were no proper apologies for the lateness, and I got worse during the team meeting, which lasted for 9 hours. I got so bad that I told them I was sick, but they ignored me, perhaps thinking I was lying. What should I do?

Is being a light sleeper a medical condition? I'm a college student and I've been a light sleeper my whole life. I'll wake up to people quietly opening my door, opening drawers, rummaging through things, turning on the lights, even whispering my name to someone else. I often hear things in other parts of the building that wake me up. This has caused me to be unable to have a roommate because if someone wakes up earlier than me or goes to bed after me, it's hard for me to stay asleep. I also canNOT sleep with snorers. Anyway, my university has a limited amount of single rooms, but they only give them to people with severe or chronic medical conditions. Not everyone understands this if they aren't a light sleeper, but not being able to sleep reeks HAVOC on your body and mental state, and I'm convinced that it messed with my academic performance last semester so I can't take that chance again. I want to go to a doctor and see if I can get documentation about my condition so that I can have a room to myself and keep my health and sanity. Does anyone know if this is possible or even realistic? I'm desperate, I need my sleep :(

Is it a Medical Condition? Okay, so lately, I've been going trough a really weird series of things. I'm fourteen years old, and basically, here's a list of what's going on- -I'm tired. Often. Even if I go to sleep early and stay that way for over eight hours, I'm generally exhausted the next day. -The 'heels' of my hands and underneath my fingernails are often blue, and I get cold very easily. -Dizzy spells. I get to feeling kind of strange. Nothing spins and it's not quite nausea, but it feels like fatigue and a lot of other stuff, mainly a lot of confusion. -Headaches. My head hurts all the time, usually between or around the temples. -Lower back pain, usually pretty mild but very uncomfortable. -Occasional fever. I can't really think of any others at the moment, though I'm sure there are some. There's kind of a mixed in almost-depressed state, if that has anything to do with it. I'm not sure what it is, but I always feel tired and weak, and my chest feels heavy. Could it be some medical condition?

f I go AWOL as an NCO 4 years in what will happen even with my medical condition? There is more to it. Yes I am an adult and I understand i raised my right hand, but when i raised my right hand I raised it believing that my superiors follow through with the "army Values". This is whats happening, After my first tour in afghanistan, I became diagnosed with SEVER SLEEP APNEA and p2 Hearing profile both permanent profiles. Now the first unit slid that condition under the rug to deploy me as an 11 Bravo ( infantry ) they did me wrong. Now medpro and the SRP site medical personell have me listed as NON Deployable. I also Have DWELL Time from afghanistan, Now they are deploying to Iraq in DEC. The Battallion commander and CSM sat me down and asked me what I wanted.. I said to stay because of my med conditon and the fact that I have finally met someone I wanted to settle with , being very honest and truthfull and I was a new SGT with no lead time in a bradley or as a teamleader, My last unit I was in a Garrison unit in the s3 shop.... working with civilians. Now I have soldiers lives at risk because of my lack of in experience and medical condition and mental state of no motivation of being in the army working for leaders that dont care. So basically it led down to the chain of command volluntarily telling me to waive my dwell time, and they are cutting corners to make my medical status deployable reguardless of my condition, where i need to maintain electricity at night because i stop breathing in my sleep. Now I am really pissed, that they would do that to me instead of looking out for me. and other osldiers lives... I'm at the point where I am fed up and tired of being shitted on... ive lost everything i had for the military.. and my heart and mind both just want out and If I dont win this battle I will go awol.... Im not gonna fall because they have to fill numbers to deploy.... Im done... I got shot at yea and blown up I did my time and put my life on the line... so I should have some say in my life... I feel i have no control in my life, im tired of waking up 4 30 am to run in the cold with shorts and a t shirt on, tired of sitting around the company area doing nothing waiting for officers to let us go each day at 6 pm... tired of the cussing and yelling and degrading bs. beaing treated like meat. and not being able to make my own desicions.... Im just done... so please I need advice and what can happen if i decide to go, will I go to jail seeing that I have my conditions and reasons of being treated unfairly by the chain of command and because I am uneducated in what they cant and shouldnt do. This has nothing to do with me just wanting to just get out. Its the fact that i see evry day constant backstabbing of soldiers, going back on nco creeds and bullshit army values mean nothing to higher up chain of command who yea did there time and everything but thats nothing to the cost of human life and controling that life withyour pen or mood swings. I got this med status because I was a HOORAH like most are in the beginning and being in infantry is nothing like being a truck driver or a damn DeFAC Cook, I hid my Sleep apnea to deploy to afghanistan. after that it got worse i wasnt just falling asleep and stopping breathing i would wake up depserate for air and chocking even if im not laying on my back, so it got worse. Now it doesnt mean anything cuz im not missing a leg or arm, so the suck it up escuse is just a ultimatly DUMB aproach. Its people with mentality like that, which cause people to die. Just putting problems to the side and saying water ill bend over now and fee

Is there a medical condition for being able to sleep through an extremely loud noise? Of course there are heavy sleepers and light sleepers, but is there a classified medical condition that makes you basically deaf while asleep?

Unusual medical condition - Loss of motor function after sleeping on arm.? After sleeping on my arm Thursday night, I awoke with partial loss of motor function in my left arm, particularly in my wrist and fingers. I am able to curl my wrist toward towards the bottom of my forearm, and can grip objects, but I cannot (with hand facing out as if to type) lift my wrist towards the top half of my forearm (to describe this illustratively think of your wrist movement if you were ratcheting the throttle of a motorcycle). Also, I cannot completely extend my fingers. I am experiencing no pain, but I do have numbness in the top half of my forearm, which extends from my elbow to my wrist. The numbness then continues through the upper half of my thumb. I am certain this is a neurological phenomenon, but thought I would share to see if anyone has suggestions or has experienced a similar injury. Thanks in advance.

Is it bad to sleep on your side left side? I dont have any medical conditions but everyone says its bad fir your heart. Is this true at all. I always get tired and goe to sleep faster on left side.

Why are dental and medical problems not insured together? I have a medical condition that requires I take prescribed drugs everyday. My prescriptions cause me to grind my teeth at night while sleeping. The drug warning says that is a side effect. This has resulted in broken teeth and other problems. I paid $500 for a night guard but that made my gums infected and even loosened some of my teeth. Meanwhile, I've spent roughly $5,000 on dental work while my health insurance continues to pay for the prescriptions the doctor prescribes that causes it. Shouldn't an effect of a prescribed drug given by a medical doctor also insure related problems from that treatment? Any doctors, RN's, insurance co people out there to answer this? Thank you.

Could these dreams relate to a medical condition? Recently ive been having dreams, of me killing myself in really weird ways... Like, sawing my head off...hanging myself..slitting my wrists...jumping infront of a car etc..... Is there any type of medical condition I could have? Ive been having these dreams for about 6months now. I wake up and am too scared to go back to sleep because they seem so real, and I can actually feel the pain sometimes :(. thanks I also have weird ones where im killing people, and bathing in their blood, then cooking them, and then selling them on the street =\ *cry* :(:(

Can the post office fire a veteran for not disclosing a medical condition on his application? The condition didn't bother me at the time I applied and I have worked there for 2 years. The oig shows up and says that I lied on the application because i said I was healthy. I have nerve pain in my ribs from an unknown cause. I applied for FMLA for my condition and I guess this raised a red flag. The had my va medical records and basically told me that they were firing me after the report is finished in a few weeks. I have only used my fmla 3 days over the past 6 months and have no problem's doing my job as a letter carrier. There are some questions on my application that I guess I could have been more honest, but at the time my pain didn't bother me unless I was lying down to sleep. I didn't want to disclose this for fear of not being hired. I do a great job and don't understand why they are pushing this so hard. Can they actually fire me for not telling them about this nerve pain? I am very stressed out about this.

My husband is in jail with a more than one medical condition, does anyone know anything about early release? My husband has 3 or 4 medical condition and is in a Texas State Jail. They said they would send him for treatment and it's now been 6 months and hadn't done anything. They just put him on sleep pills. When I call they wouldn't give me any information. Is it possible to request early release? If it is how? I've been doing research on this issue and not getting much luck. He wrote a letter to his lawyer (court-appointed) and he didn't provide any feedback I never said I have no insurance ??????

Is there a medical condition relating to the inability to cry due to yawning? I think aside from last night, the last time I have been able to cry with full tears flowing was more than 3 years ago, and there have been plenty of times where I've wanted to cry. Here's what happens: 1.) Something stirs depressing and dark thoughts 2.) I get sad/depressed/angry and feel tears boiling up 3.) They swell my eyes and they're about to come out 4.) I take a breath ready to let things out.... 5.) But then in that breath, my body forces this yawn and suddenly nothing comes out, no tears, nothing, regardless of how sad I am I'm not too tired to cry, I get sufficient sleep, I've cried before. Last night was the first time I cried in years, and I didn't yawn then. Any reported medical conditions related to this? Or is it just a repeating coicidence?

So I'm curious if I have a medical condition...? Ok i'm not sure if i have some form of ADHD or ADD or something like that. But I am constantly tired, I can get 8 to 12 hours of sleep and still be incredibly tired and I can never stay focused, my mind is constantly wandering. I want to be better and make my life easier if anyone can help that would be wonderful. I'm leaving for college soon and it would be great if I could pay attention in class because I sure didn't in high school.

Why do I get excessive sleep in my eyes? I seem to be cleaning my eyes all day long. When I'm tired, it's even worse. Is this a medical condition? It is not conjunctivitis. I've had this problem for many years now.

Are their any medical symptoms/conditions that cause one to sweat while sleeping? Always in A/C, never hot before falling asleep. Taking no medications.

Are their medical conditions if someone is constantly cold? I live in So. Cal. The lowest it gets here is 32..at night. I am always cold. Even in 120 degree weather in summer I still sleep with an electric blanket on high, in sweats and robe. I am always freakin' cold. Seems I am only happy in 120 degree weather when I can feel the heat burning into my skin? Your thoughts?

Is it a nightmare or a medical condition? This has happened to me several times throughout my life. I am sleeping when suddenly i wake up because I feel this evil presence. I can't open my eyes (and I don't try to either) but I can't move or speak. It's like I'm paralyzed. But I feel this fear so I start praying. After a while I just fall back to sleep. I feel fear because I feel the presence of evil.

The ultimate medical condition? There is a woman that has a condition where she cannot stop having an orgasm, which goes on and on and on. She even has orgasms in her sleep. http://www.dollymix.tv/2007/11/women_suffers_from_permanent_s.html Apparently she had an orgasm so intense that had brian hemorrhage, and was taken to hospital screaming continuously. They thought that she was in pain and so gave her morphine (which made it worse). They say she literally screamed like a person who was burning to death for hours, and then she died. What do you think of this? CREED

Can i get unemployment , fired for sleeping at work, medical conditions and medicines? OK here is the deal. I had been employed at a security firm for 2 years. I was just fired for sleeping at work. I had been working the night shift (3rd shift). Here is my deal. I was involved in an injury a few years ago. I have been seeing medical professionals almost continually since then and I require neck surgery. THIS IS ALL Documented. I need to have an operation to repair damage to my neck and spine, that cause me to have severe numbness in 1 arm and loss of feeling. I have not yet had the operation because its extremely expensive and my settlement amount will not make a dent in it. I have been on some prescriptions that cause drowsiness. I have been on these for about a year. I have seen neurologists and neurosurgeons and I need the operation, however for now the medicines help a bit with relieving the severity of the symptoms. OK, well I work 3rd shift and its DEAD there! We have NOTHING to do security wise except monitor things and it can be hard to stay awake. I have had to miss a few days in the last year b/c of these injuries. I got in trouble 1 time last year for dozing off and I explained my situation to my boss at that time and he said "well if u cant get it under control, we might have to switch u to a day shift or another site". He seemed to be willing to work with me and I told him that was fine. I even got a prescription for a stimulant to help keep me more alert. So i am taking the medicine that causes me to be drowsy and then taking a stimulant to try to offset the drowsiness. I kep the boss aware of this and when I found out about the surgery, I let them know, in writing that I would have to have an operation in the next few months and id miss 6-12 weeks of work. OK I am sorry for going on and on. Anyhow, so I was let go for falling asleep at work this week. BUT i suspect otherwise. WHY??? 1. the company is having to redo the contract and cut the # of security in 1/2! they put out info about this, 3 weeks before they canned me. 2. my boss was telling other employees for a month that he was going to get rid of me FIRST ONE GONE! 3. i assume, that with me needing 6-12 weeks off sometime soon, he wanted to cut the losses now, instead of when personnel was much less and i was harder to cover for! 4. He NEVER gave me the chance to switch to another site or shift, DESPITE the fact that he stated that as a solution when this happened before and I expressed to him that i would prefer to do so. So that is where i am at. I applied for benefits and was denied b/c they said i was fired for misconduct. BUT my question is, if i have a serious documented need for surgery and the medicines cause drowsiness, can i appeal and win? i mean i did EVERYTHING in my power. I kept them informed (IN WRITING with proof) about this, i took a stimulant to try to be more alert, and I was even willing to switch shifts or job sites but they still fired me so what do i do?? PS its not relevant, BUT the day i was fired, i was not actually even sleeping! they have bad/grainy cameras, which show me with my feet propped up and i was STRUGGLING with keeping awake, but i was still awake! and not asleep! PSS question also, the Tape which they claim shows me sleeping (when i wasnt) has NO DATE AND TIME STAMP on it, so can i argue against admissability??? this could have been from 2 years ago? please advise

What does it mean when you have "water in your brain"? It's a medical condition on your head I think? My doctor says that I have "water in my brain" and it's causing me a sorts of pains, cannot sleep, I've almost vomited because of it. I'm doing to see another doctor.surgeon a week from tomorrow about it. Does this require a operation or surgery? What exactly does my doctor mean by I have "water on my brain". I know I have a bump on my head that the cause of this and that's what my doctor said it was? Does anyone know anything about this? Someone from the medical field preferred please.Thanks!!

Judging by the ads on TV, does it seem like pharmaceutical companies simply make up medical conditions so that? they can sell a remedy for it? I have never heard of most of the conditions they warn us about. One ad asked if you ever experience drowsiness in the evening with an overwhelming desire to sleep. There was a name for the condition and a prescription for it.

Can anyone help with my medical dilemma? I have had multiple underlying medical conditions for years now and I'm working with multiple doctors to help figure out what is causing all of them. THey include b-12 deficiency, high testosterone, white & gray matter lessions in my brain(that have grown in number and size over a 3 year period), mitral valve prolapse, positive rheumatoid factor but not diagnosed with rh. arthritis. along with all these things come symptoms....chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, heart palpitations, extreme hair growth (in places not welcomed), double vision, lip & mouth tingling and temporary paralysis and extreme sleeping inconsistancies. Anyone out there know what this all can be caused by???? I've been tested for all the obvious and MS is just about the only thing that has stuck, but was told that my MRI scans have to decline more for an accurate diagnosis. Both spinal taps I had were negative for any virus, bacteria. yes. I have had my thyroid checked as well as pituitary gland and my adrenal glands. Tested for Sjrogen's syndrome, Lyme disease,Lupus, Cushing's, all std's, I have 9 of the 18 "hotspots"(11 needed for full diagnosis) for fybromyalgia and the list goes on. I do agree about the auto-immune thing, I just can't seem to find the right one to match up to me

Embarassing medical condition. Are any doctors reading? I have a slightly embarassing condition and I'm reluctant to tell my GP about it. Any advice would be appreciated. The skin on my 'member' has started to have a slighty orange tinge to it. It's not painful, but I'm worried that it might be a symptom of something serious. I haven't changed my diet recently, and I don't have any allergies that I know about. I've recently started doing deliveries which I'm finding very tiring - do you think that could be related to the problem? I'm fairly fit and I don't drink excessively although I do go out with mates every week or so. I'm not on any medication, I'm sleeping well. I don't know what else there is to say. Other than work and socialising I don't tend to do much in the evenings. I'll either get a movie from blockbusters or I'll sit watching the adult channel while eating wotsits. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. Thanks.

Please help diagnose medical condition? My friend has been experiecing these "blips" in his chest/heart for the past couple of years. He starts by getting dizzy then gets pins and needles all over his body and feels like he is having a heart attack. He has been to A & E on several occasions and they have done several tests etc. but have not found anything wrong. They put a monitor on his heart and the results came back fine. His GP advised that when he was younger he experienced more or less the same thing and that last a couple of years and advised that my friend just ride with it. He is now losing sleep over it and not getting to bed til 6 in the morning then having to book the next day off of work because of the lack of sleep. Does anyone know of someone that has had similar symptons? your comments would be much appreciated.

is this a medical condition? I've had exams for the last week and five assignments due, I've still had to work at my part-time job, play netball, babysit and all that jazz throughout the week. I'm a stresshead and a perfectionist by nature. My biggest fear in life honestly, is failure. But only a few close to me really know that. For about a month now I havn't been able to sleep properly, for about half the nights I've been up all hours of the morning doing homework but the nights where I havn't had to do that I just havn't been able to sleep. I'm averaging about four hours a night, I'm only fifteeen. I've been drinking a lot of coffee recently but for me that becomes normal when I'm overtired. Am I becoming an insomnic? What level? Should I go to the doctors?

where can i discuss my medical condition which my doctors cannot properly diagnose and solve?? There is a pain in the ankle joint and on the top side of the feet. While walking or standing. After long walk the pain continues while sitting and in sleeping position also. Pain killers or foot massage helps a little, but since about 2 years the pain is there more or less. When there is pain there is also tightness felt at the bottom center part of the feet Two years back there has been an operation for removing the uterus and ovaries. Doctor assumes it to be dryness of muscles which makes the muscles less elastic. This causes pain. One week medication was prescribed which did not help much and some injections in the feet are suggested which I have avoided as they are steroids. What is the medical term for such a disease? Is there any other solution and are there any tests by which the diagnosis can be ascertained.

Is Depression really a medical condition? ...try hard not to judge people... Ok... so i had been really sad since i was in 8th grade. my mom is well... abusive, angry (no reason), un-understaing, un-helpful,....well you get it. so now im in 10th grade and getting suicidal thoughs. i had taken an online test to see if you have symtoms of depression and well most of the questions was right about me....suicidal thoughts...sadness....irritablity.... i hate many of the things i use to love like drawing and poetry....i eat less and sleep more....and i feel hopeless and guilty for some reason... so i had read that depression has something to do with the chimicals in your brain being unbalanced... is that true? because i think thats bullshit (excuse my lanuague) yea well i dont think its chemicals that makes you unhappy... its wat is happening around you what people say what you do... no chemicals control my actions or anybody elses... im unhappy because i hate my mom and i hate life... not because something in my brain went wrong.... depression is bullshit

Do I have a relevent Medical Condition? I been having some serious pains in my chest. it especially comes when I'm eating but not just. More specifically as I'm digesting my food the pain seems to be on the left side of my chest and the pain subsides when the food passes through. Also excuse me if this sounds rude but sometimes I also have pains in the same area and if I burp or belch, the pain is relieved or stop. I haven't call the doctor yet I guess i'm afraid of what may be said. The past five 5 yrs I been working myself into the ground with only 3 hours of sleep some nights. Do I need to get life insurance and make my daughter the beneficiary and go get wasted and nail all the tail I can find?

question reguarding medical condition in 2yr old? First some background. my daughter was born at 32 wks(a twin)weighing 3.8lbs. since then she has struggled to gain, and keep any weight at all. at a year she weighed just 9 pounds, was diagnosed with an arnold chiari malformation 2, recieved surgery to correct it, and has been on a feeding pump ever since. her intake is 1200cal per day, she weighs 20 pounds(is 2 yr 8mo) and has not gained an ounce in 5 months. She has severe headaches(trust me you can tell) and aversions to oral intake. She has little muscle tone. Cronic constipation, unresposive to any meds perscribed. sleeps ALOT. No serious sencory issues, no delays mentally at all, is just physically delayed, and seems to be uncomfortable ALL the time. No answers from a host of doctors, from her nero doc, two GI specialists, we have been through 3 peds, please, anyone who has any ideas about what to do, what to ask, who to see, what to try..anything! Other than the ACMT2 there has been no further diagnosis. thanks! funny you mention that when she was still inutero they were concerned as her heart rate regualrly dropped into the 70's. they did some sort of ultra sound that looked at her heart and it was fine. After birth she had bradiacardia events for 40 days, and then two more after coming home. Then none and the apnea monitor was turned over. Its a thought. Thankyou.

I have been suffering from a medical condition and tried out for basketball without knowing it and got cut ? Ima 15 year old sophmore in high school and At football practice towards the end of october I was hit in the back and experienced terrible pain in my back towards my last rib. I came home from practice and had my mom take me to the ER to get X rays onit they came back negative. I still felt pain but thought nothing of it I continued with football and would hurt but like I said I thought it was fine.I played two more games. I then woke up one morning having severe trouble breathing. I stayed home and scheduled an appointment with my physician she toldme I was fine and that the breathing problems were associated with a tore muscle that occured during football she gave me a prescription for extra strength ibuprofen toldme to take that with 2 tylenol. I stayed out of school and just rested for 3 days when I returned to my physician with no improvement. She then sent me for x rays which would reveal a pneumonia she then prescribed a z pack which kept me out of school and football for another week. Upon completing the Z pack I returned to school the following week I attended Monday Tuesday and Wednesday.I woke up Thursday Morning and experienced terrible trouble breathing. I went back to my physician who sent me for xrays which came back being very bad she told me that I had to be admitted to the Hospital immediately. So I went when I arrived on what would become an 8 day stay they sent me for many tests including CT scans and MRI the results showed that my rib was in fact broken. my 12th rib was broke right next to my spine. This was not all that the tests had shown in fact they had shown that a staff infection had sprouted around my lung and kidneys and the infection had pocketed. The doctors scheduled a procedure. What they did was they putme to sleep and navigated by ultrasound they found the pockets and drained them. They decided to leave a chesttube in me so that they could get more of the fluid out. So I healed and was released from the hospital on the friday before last.Now what you need to know is that I am an avid basketball player and that I play AAU and even got spoke to by a college coach last year while at a talent camp. everyday during the summer I practiced for four hours a day.I was poised to have a great Sophmore season of basketball. When I came out of Anesthesia the first thing I asked was could I play basketball. It is my life. Tryouts were the day after thanksgiving exactly one week after I was discharged. The doctor said to rest fro Saturday and Sunday but I could start trying to get in shape on monday. So that is what I did I started lightly just jogging on monday but then I got right back into it on Tuesday going full speed tuesday and wednesday. On wednesday I had an appointment with an infectious disease doctor who was worried about the staff infection coming back. to prevent this she prescribed a type of pennicilin called Clindimycin so I thought I was good to go for tryouts Thanksgiving came and I thought I was alright but I started feeling itchiness and developed like welts on my back and legs. I thought they were just hives from the whole ordeal I had just overcome. I woke up the next morning with the welts still being there and a new symptommy joints were experiencing pain and my knees and legs were swollen I decided I had come this far and I would grin and bear it and tryout which was probably not the best decision on my part. I showed up and was very sluggish and found it hard to move and play defense. I even felt my legs collapse on me once while driving to the bucket. I found it hard to breathe. I hoped that my performance on the court would shield these problems or that in knowing that I was in the hospital they would look favorably on me but low and behold they didn't. I came back the next day only to find out I had been cut from the team. Later that night the welts got worse and worse and they were itchy so I told my mom and she called the doc who didn't get back to us until today. she asked me how long these symptoms had been going on and I told her the whole story. she concluded that I have been suffering from a very rare but serious allergic reaction to the drug Penicillin which is found in Clindimycin. In finding out that my performance was inhibited I was destraut knowing that due to something I could not control the one thing I love was taken away from me. The doctor was very kind and gave me a note to give the varsity coach explaining what I was going through and that my play was inhibited due to this reaction. Now the problem I am having is that My school has employed a new head basketball coach whois looking to make a name for himself. I don't think he would feel it smart to readmit a cut player. I feel that if he knew me he would know that Iwill work for every minute if any that I would receive if only he gave me that spot. I have a meeting scheduled with him for tuesday to discuss with him why he decided to cut him where I will divulge to him the new found i

Does this odd combination of symptoms suggest a medical condition my doctors may have missed up to this point? I'm a 48-year-old female. Had a partial hysterectomy two years ago (still have the ovaries). For about three weeks now, I've been experiencing EXTREME fatigue. I can't do the simplest of household chores or walk half a block without feeling totally wiped out. I've had chronic insomnia for years. But now I sleep deeply all night, and also many hours during the day with no problem. In fact, I've begun to have episodes like narcolepsy and sleep paralysis (I feel awake and aware, but can't move my limbs or speak for a minute or so). I have had the worst swelling of my ankles and calves, which I've never had in my life except for when I had pre-eclampsia with a pregnancy. I've put on a LOT of weight in a very short period of time. Lastly, I have weird sensations in my breasts and back. There's breast tenderness that feels like the premenstrual type, only it's lasted for eeks. And I get this terrible, off-and-on feeling like the skin on my back is sunburned or inflamed. Any ideas? I should add that I had a CT scan done just two days ago, because I have also been experiencing slurred speech at times, and have been very clumsy and falling a lot. The scan was normal. I'm being scheduled for a sleep study within the next couple of weeks.

My daughter who is a senior in high school is suffering from severe migraine headaches, they are so bad she can't sleep and are causing her to get so dizzy she feels like fainting sometimes.

My daughters grades are suffering because of this, she has not been a honor roll student but a good solid 3 point + average. Is there anything I can do?

I need help identifying a medical condition.? Thanks to a combination of things I won't go into, my girlfriend has found herself unable to find a doctor or get over the counter medications. Intense pain alternating dull and sharp in the abdomen, toward the front. (Sharp during times of stress.) Dizziness. "Its like.. burning most of the time, though the intensity varies greatly and is worst in the early morning (I haven't slept past three thirty in a week)" I personally, well, I believe it's an ulcer, but she cannot get to a doctor, it's literally impossible. That being, no way to get there, family refuses to take her or even take her to get OTC stuff. Anyway... ideas people? Please? She's suffering a fair bit and I want to try to help. PLEASE? She says it isn't in the right spot for the appendix, and I cannot personally get her anywhere, I'm on the wrong side of the country. There is literally no way for her to get to a clinic, or a doctor's office. To put it nicely? She is without a license after a wreck a few months ago, and her family refuses to give her the time of day to go to a pharmacy for even OTC stuff. She refuses to cost her family money by calling an ambulance to go to the ER, though says if it becomes as unbearable as it was last night, she will contact her uncle to take her, or a sister. Though she has also confessed worry about her family members' reaction to her asking them for help.

What medical condition is this? (dream related)? I often open my eyes, in the middle of sleep, and see visions. Sometimes it's of insects, though there have been times where I see people. Just this last week or so I saw a lady. I closed my eyes, and when i reopened them she was still there. I closed them again, and she was gone. So, is there a medical term for this? Thanks.

Is it a nightmare or a medical condition? This has happened to me several times throughout my life. I am sleeping when suddenly i wake up because I feel this evil presence. I can't open my eyes (and I don't try to either) but I can't move or speak. It's like I'm paralyzed. But I feel this fear so I start praying. After a while I just fall back to sleep.

Will eating salad right before sleep make me fat? Hi guys, I have a medical condition which needs me to eat a dish of vegetable salads (lettuce, in large quantity) per a day.

Why does my dog prefer to just lay around the house? I love my dog with all of my heart. It seems like all she does these days is eat, sleep, and go outside to urinate/defacate. She has spurts where she plays actively with her toys, but then she lays down and goes to sleep. She's only 5 years old. Do you think she may have an underlying medical condition? Or is it just normal?

How often does your husband sleep on the couch? Due to a fight or conflict (medical conditions, etc not allowed!). My husband and I have been together for 7 years. Only over the past year has he had to start sleeping on the couch. To me... ominous sign!!! It is only every once in a while when we really have it out, but when we have it out... we really have it out. How often does that happen to you guys, and when did that start happening to you in your relationship? And did you divorce?

I need your medical advise pleeeese? I suffer from an unknown medical condition and need your assistance. It includes a very serious case of fatigue and sleepiness in which case all I seem to do is sleep and sleep. I could sleep for days at a time without knowing. I lose my appetite causing me to go into dehydration. While in this state and during the rare times that I am awake I partially loose my hearing, I have vision impairment, partial loss of memory, diarrhea, vomiting, loss of sense such as smell, taste, and texture, fevers, headaches, and serious case of fear of being left alone. This usually can last any where from 1 to 7 days and than I oddly wake up from it like nothing had happened. When I am fine I dont remember what happened while I was sick. I have been to all kinds of doctors in and out of the states and have gone through vigorous test's and analysis and no one seems to find anything wrong with me. Have you seen or heard anything like this? And if so what is it and how can I get better?

Is an airline legally obligated to provide a place to stay for passengers who are delayed? by no fault of their own (weather conditions to be specific) if they have a medical condition that does not allow them to sleep on the airport benches? My friend and her dad had a flight at 6pm to Chicago. It did not leave till 8pm because of bad weather in Chicago. Her dad is very ill and cannot spend the night at the airport. They missed their connection because of the delay. Is the airline obligated to pay for a hotel for them?

If Cuba has such great medical coverage, why do Canadians hate that idea.? Canadians I know on vacation have described the medical conditions.. 1. Nurse still smoking in the room while the patient was recieving oxygen. 2. Glass bottle IV tubes left over from the russian days. 3. Cars from the 1950's, the russians cars from the 80's are junk being melted down. I wonder what the Ambulances are like. 4. Castro gets his operation from WHO...what Doctor....damn its amazing...that same doctor probably performed some abortions...during his internship....but couldn't send a bubble to a tyrants brain. Sorry you liberals...you allow abortion...but allow violent sadistic, brutal thugs to live. God help your Soul...how do you sleep at night. Knowing in late term abortions a baby is ripped from the Mothers womb....crying in pain and agony. How do you sleep at night...You turn your head.. while the drill penetrates the babies brain, you praise castro, chevas, sadamm if he was still around. probably hitler too. You people are sick. Please don't tell me that crap about prescriptions, you will dye waiting for it in Cuba. Do you know what a dollar buys you in Cuba..... If they are doing so well..why is the currency in U.S. Dollars...I know I have Canadian friends who would exchange their money before going their. Using your comments liberty I guess we are subsidizing the rest of the worlds health care....I heard the same arguments from Canadians about the prescriptions. We have to be paying for everyone else.

Hard to wake up from sleep? Alot of people have problems sleeping, but my problem is the opposite, its almost impossible for me to wake up in the morning. This issue is affecting my punctuality at work. I sleep quite alot generally, On the weekends if i have nothing planned i can sleep for almost 20-22 hours, or sleep the whole weekend away. Also, since i started going to school its very hard for me to wake up in the morning. Now I am 27 years old and working full time, but still facing the same issue. I am quite famous at work for running late. Received few warnings as well but still cant find a solution to this issue. I am a healthy 27 yrs old male, only 2 Kgs overweight, go gym 3-4 days a week. No medical condition. I can sleep anytime of the day, anywhere i like, can drink 10 cups of strong coffee and go to bed, can drink 5 cans of RedBull and sleep if i want to. So none of the stimulants or uppers can stop me from sleeping if i want to. To be honest sleeping is not my problem cuz i love sleeping, my problem is waking up for work or for any other committments. I probably should explain the readers how i feel when the alarm goes off. - I dont hear it at all when the alarm goes off, I realise it after 15-20 mins when its continuosly buzzing. I bought the loudest alarm clock available in market, and even my neighbours can hear it (you can imagine they arent happy with me). - After 15-20 mins i start feeling that something is buzzing somewhere in the space, but I am still unsure what that is and where I am. - My next reaction is to stop or shut down whatever that is, not realising that I have to wake up. - I hit the snooze with my eyes closed and drown back in my deep space. - This cycle continues for another 30 mins till i realise i have to wake up for work. - Then i get up and regret what just happened. - Trust me I am late to work almost every day. - Its giving me a very bad name. Does anyone else faces the same issue? Should I be going to a Doctor or is it normal? Any suggestions to improve myself ? Any advise so that I can wake up with no problems ? sknitau ---> I guess you didnt read the description properly. I didnt say I drink coffee or redbull before sleeping. Just gave an example that it doesnt work for me. Also, as you mentioned about turning on lamp or go for a walk, I wanna clearify that the problem is waking up, turning on the lamp or going for a walk is the post-wake up thing. Once am off my bed no problems, the actual problem is realising that I am in the actual world and that I have to go to work. But when you said about turning on the bedside lamp, i wanna tell you that I've tried leaving and sleeping with all my bedroom lights on, left the music playing before going to bed but that doesnt work either. I dont hear any music, sound, noises, knocks on door, bells, horns. Even the brightest light doesnt disturb my sleep. If its happening to a 1 year old baby, fair enough, but for a 27 year old adult, sounds like a problem

What type of doctor do you see for under eye circles? I am concerned about my dark under eye circles. I get enough sleep, eat right, and no one else in my family has dark circles so I don't think it's inherited. Therefore, I am wondering if a medical condition is the underlying cause. What type of doctor should I see to get to the bottom of this?

I slob alot when I sleep, i wake up spitting a whole lot and my pillow wet with slob what is wrong ? is this a medical condition? if so can it be helped? i tried closing my mouth, i do drink is that a reason

Purchase of durable medical equipment? My health plan is very specific that If I need a durable medical equipment and it is cheaper to purchase than to rent, then that durable medical equipment should be purchased. However, my insurance company says that my device, a Bi-Pap machine to treat sleep apnea requires "substantial and signficative servicing" and it is must be a rental to protect my health. This sounds very bogus. The machine has a 2 year warranty, and it is more expensive to rent 2 year than to purhcase the Bi-pap machine now. I filed a complaint, but my insurance company is saying they will not change this because it is their own internal policy. My insurance says this machine is a "continous rental". Since I have this medical condition for all my life, this means an astronomical amount of money. (at least, in my perception). How come the insurance's "internal policy" can be against what is determined in the text of my own policy? (If it is cheaper to purchase, then it should be purchased).

Dog needs to be put to sleep, need advise.? My German Shepard is 15 years old, almost 16. She has hung on for as long as she can. I won't go into details of her medical condition, but you probably have an idea. Painful arthritis, blader problems, almost blind etc. My question is how to do it. I read an article from a pet site that promotes the best way is for the owner to do it themselves. At first I thought this was barberic until I read on. Their feeling is that at the vet, it is a cold, nervous environment for the dog and horible last memory for the dog. They suggest taking the dog out into a field where it can feel free and placing a bowl down with its favorite snack and the shooting the dog in the head as it eats. I really don't think I could do this, but do agree, the vet is no fun place for a dog, especially its last memory. They also suggest using a favorite meal with sleeping pills, followed by carbon monoxide. This does not sound safe to me. I just want the most comfortable, not convienent way for my dog. I had not realizd vets make house calls. I phoned the vet around the corner from my house and they will come out to the home. We plan to bury the dog here after they are done. This is such a sad day, but thank you for the advise!

My 16 month old black lab wet herself in her sleep...? it has only happened once, this afternoon, and she seemed very ashamed. Is this very unusual, or might it even be a sign of some medical condition? Thanks!

Gender Confusion?...? A two year old boy who has a chronic medical condition sleeps in a separate bed in the same room with his mother. He does not dress or play in the room, but just sleeps there so he could be heard by the mother at night. The father of the child thinks that this arrangement will cause "gender confusion" and make the boy gay. The parents are divorced. Mom wants the boy to be older and for his medical condition to be more stable before moving him in with his older brother, who is now seven. Is the father full of it, or is the mother going to cause the child to be confused about his gender?

My husband says he has never had a dream he can recall or even an idea that he dreams. How can this be? Is there a medical condition that could cause my husband not too dream? I hear him call out in pain and sometimes in fear while he sleeps. However, he says he was not dreaming. I may not be able too recall all my dream details but I know I had a dream. I find this strange.

Need advice from an MD, RN, NP, LPN, or licensed medical professional.? I don't know if these symptoms could be related, but I have had chest pain for almost 4 years now. It comes and goes and it's a sharp stabbing pain. I've had two ultrasounds and the cardiologist said it's fine. I also have had excessive sweating for the past 3-4 years. I'm not sure if it could be anxiety or a medical condition. I had my tonsils and adenoids taken out about three months ago, and ever since it healed I have cobblestone throat. I have also noticed that for a while now I have pain that comes and goes thats near my spleen, but it's mainly at night when I'm going to sleep. I'm wondering what these symptoms could be or if they're related.
