Is there any serious medical condition that has these symptoms?

Or am I just having a minor panic attack?

My dad is overweight with a serious medical condition. Can you help me find a hospital with a petscan? My dad had colon cancer 4 years ago but was told by the doctors that he was clear of it after they removed 1/3rd of his colon. In the past month, they have discovered that the cancer spread to his lung. The doctors said that it is incredibly unlikely that it would spread from his colon to his lung directly without first infecting something else. He is in desperate need of a pet scan. This procedure will immediately tell the doctors if and where there are any more cancer cells. Unfortunately, my dad is obsese, weighing in at 498 lbs. He has only been able to find hospitals that can accomodate a 450 lb. person on the petscan table. It seems unconstitutional that anyone should be turned away from life-saving medical care because they are obese. I need to help him find a hospital that can accomodate someone of his size.

Serious medical condition and still deploying to iraq? My husband has a serious medical condition ( i rather not say) and his unit is still deploying him (just recently my husb learned he was having some medical problems so he took some test and came back positive, he was given meds but has not been good remembering to take his medicine that was about 2 weeks ago, anyways this week his unit is deploying and he has been having issues with this situation, and just today his dr called and said he was in perfect condition to go to iraq) to me this is alittle odd with his condition to heal in just 2 weeks and his dr had to talk with the chain of command who didnt care about my husbands sitation and wanted him to go anyways.MY question is,if something is wrong with my husband and the dr is lieing about it because thats what his chain of command wanted even though they know about his condition then what should my husband an I do? the dr talked with his commander and before he talked to the commander he told my husb he was nondeployable and after ~ after the dr talked to the commander he calls my husband and says hes good to go to iraq, now to me that sounds alittle odd...so im just wondering what we should do...we have little time seeing hes about to leave this coming thursday morning and i think this situation is very serious. I thought maybe even after he gave him a nondeployable status and profile that would mean something? and then to change it? dont you think? Well guess it dont matter much anyways they will send him on his 3rd deployment no matter what... i've learned the army dont care much for the families or its soldiers, i just thought there might be something we could do before he leaves this thursday...thanks alot though for your negative comments! ...oh by the way to the retired chief petty officer...lets see hes been working nonstop always at work hardly home and maybe just maybe he forgets to take his meds because his unit is messed up keeps him working soo late? did you ever think of that? guess not... * I wasnt talking about the dr's chain of command...i was talking about my husbands chain of command...the dr is a civilian dr that works with the military *

Do I have any serious medical condition? Two days ago,while talking and joking with a friend, I laughed so hard that I was not able to pull back my breath. This caused me to fall unconsious. I fell on the floor and hit my head on the floor so hard that I bled from my nose. I went to see a doctor, who advised me to undergo further test. For the past few months before that incident two days ago, I've noticed that when I laughed so hard, I find it difficult to pull back my breath. This caused me to not to breath for about 5 or more seconds. On one previouse occasion, I've also experienced a loss of consiousness after laughing so hard. Do I have any serious medical condition? Can you give me a clue as to what medical condition I'm been having? Many thanks

fat or a serious medical condition? Okay this might sound bad and I don't mean to or offend anyone but can you tell from the appearance of a person if they are fat because of lack of exercise/laziness/over eating or if it is a serious medical disorder. I know a girl who is severely obese with swollen fingers and a swollen 'puffy' face. She has been this way all her life and has a thin younger brother and sister. Her parents are not thin but not this way. Is that a sign it is a medical condition and not just "naturally" fat? How can you tell?

Do I have a serious medical condition? My dick's too big. It gets caught in my zipper all the time. Pardon, but I can't think of an easier way to say it. It doesn't retract at all after an erection and I think it might actually be a bad medical condition. My neighbor used to be a licensed professional in the medical field. He is currently retired. I felt close enough to ask him about it. Apparently my testicles are also oversized. When I pulled my pants up he then informed me that he was a pediatrician. After feeling quite awkward about showing a man my penis who knew no facts at all I left and came home. When I slammed my penis on the toilet seat I had to do something about it. So who better to ask but the highly trained individuals on Yahoo! Answers? This is seriously not a joke, and despite the humor some might find in my story I still need to know, do I have a medical condition? I'm also afraid my blood flow might be bad, causing the length of the unerected penis. Please help me.

Serious Medical Condition !!? Prime Minister was visiting one of finest hospitals and during his tour of the wards, he passed a room where one of the male patients was masturbating. "Oh God," said the PM, "that`s disgraceful, what is the meaning of this?" The doctor leading the tour explains, "I am sorry sir, but this man has a very serious condition where his testicles fill up rapidly with semen. If he doesn`t do what he is doing at least 5 times per day, he could swell up and he might die" "Oh, I am sorry," said the PM, "I was unaware that such a medical condition existed." On the same floor they soon passed another room where a young, blonde nurse was performing oral sex on another patient. "Oh my God," said the PM, "What`s happening here?" The doctor replied, "Same problem, better health plan."

Why do people ask about serious medical conditions on YA? I am a nurse and am training to be an NP at Yale. If you are bleeding profusely, if your friend has just swallowed 30 pills of any kind, if you have a serious psychiatric disorder and/or are contemplating suicide, or if you have an odd medical condition that half a dozen different physicians have been unable to diagnose, WHY would you come ask about it on YA!? These same people often become agitated when you point out that they (obviously) require medical attention. Furthermore, why would you take the advice of Joe Sixpack and not the physicians, PAs, NPs, and nurses that post regularly to these forums? I really am curious...

Are worms a serious medical condition for my pets? I am scared for my new labsky puppies. I think that they might have worms, but I don't have enough money to take them to a vet. I have been looking up symptoms for worms, and both of them have had them. One of them has a pot belly, he is very hungry all the time, and one night, he threw up 5 times! (But i think that is because he ate an old Hot Pocket he found under my sister's bed) The other one is very skinny, and he doesn't have a big appetite. Either of them has visible worms in their bile, but I think they possibly have worms. What kind of worms do they have if they do have them? And are worms a serious medical condition? And how can I treat them without going to the vet? Oh, and also, the one with the pot belly has a ringworm on his chest. The other had it first, and his went away once the other one got it. What does this mean? And how do I treat a ringworm without going to the vet?

Help. I need to know if I have a serious medical condition! ? A couple of days ago I got extremely angry and frustrated at my aunt. It got to the point where I walked out of the room.

I eventually calmed down. But I want to make sure that I don't have a serious condition. I just don't want to waste 4 hours at the doctors if I don't have anything.

How would animal rights extremists react if they or a loved one was diagnosed with a serious medical condition Would they refuse any treatment which had been tested on animals? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Rights_Militia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Liberation_Front http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_liberation_movement K Marx iii - Have you any links to this story? It'd be an interesting read. Most 'normal' animal rights campaigners probably wouldn't have a problem being treated using drugs which had been tested on animals. Extremists are not 'normal' campaigners though. The difference between extremists and campaigners is like the difference between football fans and football hooligans.

What do I need to do? I'm scared of seeing a doctor or telling any close relations (family/friends).

Is this a serious medical condition? Any idea of how to prevent it? Okay so I'm 14 and have had this condition going on since I was about 6. First I get a sharp pain (migraine) above my right eye. Then about 2-4 hours later, the headache gets so bad it hurts even to think and/or move. The slightest noise or light causes me bad pain. After that, I throw up, and my headache usually goes away immediately. I have been to 3 doctors who don't know why this happens or how to stop it, they only know what triggers it; heat. But here's the thing, a lot of hot days I don't get this, and it probably isn't caused by stress either because a day hanging with friends Outside of the local shopping center and park was followed by this migraine/ throwing up thing. I exercise regularly and maintain a rather healthy diet (probably too much meat though :P). I live in a hot climate (southern inland empire, ca) so you can imagine I get this a lot so any help would be appreciated!

I have a possibly serious medical condition that seems to be affecting my brain. Can you tell me what I have? Well, lately over the last three to four weeks, I have been noticing a large number of symptoms appearing that are beginning to worry me because of the quick progression of them. I recently went on vacation to South Dakota, I normally live in the Seattle, Washington Area, and there is no recent history of trauma, or known infections or viruses. I left for South Dakota on June 26th of this year and returned on July 8th. By the time the vacation was half over, I began to notice several symptoms arising. The first one to appear was a heightened voice. I noticed that during singing, the notes I once could hit easily were now more difficult to hit and the bottom of my vocal range has risen at least half to three quarters of an octave. Then, over the past week and a half to two weeks, I have noticed a very large number of symptoms arising and progressing. In addition to the continuation of the two symptoms above mentioned, I also have noticed a lower facial and name recognition, my motor skills/hand eye coordination has gotten much worse, my better eye has switched (my Right eye was better up until a week ago, now my left eye is better), my vocabulary has gotten much smaller and my arithmetic skills have gotten much more limited. However, in addition to these symptoms, my memory and recall ability of numbers and place names have gotten much better. I also have an overall feeling of a rapid decline in intelligence. In case it is relevant, I was, before this, exceptionally intelligent, with a very wide vocabulary and fantastic arithmetic skills. I also had the ability to sing very low with ease. I used to have great facial and name memory, but now all of these have significantly decreased. I am a fifteen year old male with a clean medical history, and again, no history of recent trauma, infections, or viruses.

Will health insurance cover a serious pre-existing condition? I believe I may have a serious medical condition. I know I should go to the doctor ASAP but I have a concern about my health insurance. My coverage is ok but not the greatest. I may or may not be changing jobs and the new job has much better insurance. Also, I am currently on my wife's health insurance policy and she may be changing jobs in March. How do I know if my possible medical condition would be covered by any new insurance policy? If it turns out to be serious, I may not be able to afford to pay my medical bills if my new insurance carrier chooses not to cover it. What are my options?

Is this a serious medical condition? This rarely happened to me before, but lately, it's been happening a lot. What happens is, maybe I'm just walking, or I just swallow some saliva, or I just turn in my bed, and suddenly, I get this sort of severe shock on the left side of my neck. It feels a lot like someone picked up a small pebble, pulled their arm back as far as they could, and threw it at that one point on the left side of my neck. It's not only annoying, I also don't know if this is some symptom of a deadly disease. So, if you guys know anything about this, it'd be very helpful. Thanks.

is this a serious medical condition please answer asap thanks? Ok this first all started when the doctor told me I had pharynghitis and difficulty swallowing wich really scared me and back in may it took it very seriiously.Ever since may ive been messing with my adams apple and the whole front part of my neck.I saw an ENT (ears nose and Throat speciliast). He said nothing was wrong and he put a nasal fibre optic laryngel scope down me. So I kept dwelling and dwelling then I got the chicken poxs in june from stressing out. Ive always herd a squritign sounds when I swallow.In end of july I started hearing very weird sounds in my throat and my stomach.August I started thinking it was my wind pipe because when I blow my neck hurts a little. September still dwelling and when I run I feel like something was in my neck area and septemeber I started thinking it was my Hyoid Bone. Hyoid is a little horshe shoe shaped bone in the Neck. Also when I swallow I never feel my food go down my throat at all. And I was thinking my throat was out of place cause when I felt like I was going to throw up it felt like It was getting stuck. So then I had the same ENT(Ears nose and Throat specialiast check me and he put another throat scope and he said it was nothing.

Do I have a serious medical condition? Or is it just pain? Well my back has been hurting since last year. Whenever I lay down on my stomach or back now it kills when I try to get up. Of course that pain could've been caused by carrying around my book bag. It had 2 straps but I only used one shoulder to carry it around. Then a few days ago the pain in my back started going farther down like near my hips. And today my knees hurt really bad. I haven't really excersized in a while...could that be whats causing my bones to hurt? P.S. I'm only 12

I know i have a serious medical condition. I just dont know what it is. Dr.s dont do anything. what do i do? 5 yrs ago after having my son something was very wrong. my stomach would bloat out giving the apperance of 3 to even 6 months pregnant. It would be hard and round and last for hours. if i was in jeans when it started and couldnt get home i would have to undo my jeans to avoid bruises and the same jeans fit loose earlier. its not related to food intake either. its sparatic and painless. but i would become fatigued occationally. now i'm big in my stomach alot. I avoid jeans because of the frequency i have severe back pain and my fatigue is all the time now. my urine is pungent and comes out irratically. sometimes i need to push on my abdomin for it to come out.and recently ive been getting head aches and nausia all the time. there is no possiblity of pregnancy. oh and i get let and foot cramps alot this past year. doctors cant find anything wrong but they wont run tests either. i'm a military spouse. so i'm covered. should i just make an appointment every day untill they get as sick of me as i am of getting sick. I fear they will just give me and antibiotic again. I swear it feels like my kidneys are becoming weaker and my ovaries hurt (especially durring intercorse) i'm misserable and i dont want to live in bed any longer.

What do you do when another mother is mismanaging a very serious medical condition in her child? I can only imagine how hard it is to manage diabetes in a young child (6ish) - but what do I do if the parents seem unwillingly to learn what they need to know - and/or unwillingly to do what they need to do? At what point do you speak up for the child? Our family has tried suggesting alternatives, good ideas, solutions, etc - but they "already know everything" they need to know. Thanks for your ideas... We spent the whole weekend together - this is my brother in laws family. Her sugars were over 300 in the AM because she had pancakes and juice for breakfast. Then when they dropped to 41 right before lunch time - they gave her Pringles to help raise the blood sugar - even decling my glucose tablets that I had on hand because they thought chips were a better option. Then after she ate a somewhat normal lunch she went swimming, and post swimming she ate baked beans and 2 brownies... and her sugars went right back up. Which of these many terrible choices would you have ignored?

Hot Foot!? Do I have a serious medical condition? All day I've had a weird sensation in my left foot. All of a sudden it will feel very warm, but in just on spot. And its the same spot each time. The feeling is like hot breath. What could be causing this? Is it anything to worry about? Anyone heard of any superstitions about things like this? Someone mentioned atheletes foot. I don't think its the case.... the hot feeling is on the side of my heal, right below my ankle. And there's no itching. Just HOT! Also wanted to add that the "hot breath" sensation will only last like 20sec, then return to my normal cold foot temp. And, its on the outside of my foot.

I am concerned that he is experiencing some sort of penal discharge, can this be a serious medical condition?

boyfriend's medical condition? I have been dating a guy for 2 months and we are officially "boyfriend/girlfriend" as of two weeks ago. I am concerned that he may have a serious medical condition that he is not telling me about. I've tried to probe a little bit but he seems very guarded about it so I thought I'd try to research elsewhere. He mentioned that he had to have his thyroid partially removed two years ago, and also that he had a large operation in his chest a few years ago (I'm not sure exactly on what organ but he has surgery scars on his chest and I can tell that some ribs were removed). He also has a significant number of moles and other growths on his chest, neck and back. He had a few of them removed a few days ago and had bandages, once again I think he didnt really want to talk about it so I didnt press him. I am very concerned that these symptoms are all related. It sounds like it could be tumor/cancer related but I dont know much about medical conditions so I was hoping someone who does could point me in the right direction. This is important for me to know before we potentially get more serious.

Snoring or just deep breaths or something more serious? My roommate complained that I started snoring for the past few weeks and showed me a video clip of me sleeping. In the clip I was inhaling very deeply, making a quite audible sound. However, I wasn't making the typical fluttering sound people produce when they snore and my mouth was closed. So technically I wasn't snoring, right? Can anyone tell me the possible causes and solutions to it? Can it be a more serious medical condition?

Serious Medical Questions on Q&A? I find it quite disturbing that some people ask questions on here about very serious medical conditions.They get replies from folks who mean well, but are not qualified doctors.It's up to the person posing the question on how they take the advice, but I worry that vunerable people may take the replies as fact.Is this something that bothers you? Should there be some guidlines on here, or a disclaimer? Thanks #3, I hadn't noticed that.Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

This is getting kind of serious... Medical conditions that match the symptoms? Alright, I've been to a few doctors but they don't take me very seriously... They've run blood tests but that's about it. No serious examinations. The last doctor I saw believed the pain may be a result of depression... But I really don't think that's it at all. You see, I understand fully what depression aches feel like as recently I've been experiencing those, too. I don't think the depression is causing the issues, I believe the issues are resulting in depression. Depression pains aren't really sharp, severe... They're just a "God, I don't want to do this anymore" type of thing. You're weary, sluggish, hurting all over without a direct source of pain. The thing I'm reporting is not like that at all. I have constant "stabbing, shooting" sensations all over my body, but I can pin point them easily. Mostly they circulate around my wrists, thighs, where the back becomes the bottom, back of the neck, shoulders, top of the feet, joints... Gah. There are a lot of spots, but it isn't psychosomatic (I'm aware I have mental problems, I just don't think this is one of them). It's cutting edge and it doesn't go away. I also have a difficulty with sleeping. I go days feeling tired, but not being able to lose consciousness. I have obsessive water drinking habits, too. I'm CONSTANTLY thirsty and much colder then I should be. The nurse who checked my pulse prior commented that it was extremely strong and two nights ago I went to a slumber party and my friend was next to me, almost asleep, and she noted that my heart beat faster then any other person she'd known. I mention this only because I wonder if it has some correlation to the fact that I have "miny heart attacks" (my brother's choice of words). What happens is basically the same as any heart attack but there is no permanent damage and I never go to a hospital. My wrist starts to sting like a big needle is being jabbed right into the vein, and then my chest starts searing and I can't breathe, and my head throbs and I'll fall down, normally my left leg goes down first. Normally it happens once every two or so days, and lasts a few seconds. Recently, it's been occuring so much more and it lasts longer until my eyes are swimming. I heard that irregular heart shape may be the cause of this issue...? Another symptom (may or may not be related) is that I've been constipated for years. I also have these "twitches". Involuntary muscle movements... My eye will spazz out or sometimes it's more severe and my whole body will convulse, my eyes go behind my head. It doesn't really HURT but it feels like electricity is surging through me. I have bad headaches. Gah, with all the things happening, I don't know what to list here as a symptom. These days I just don't FEEL well. Is this all really just depression or something else entirely? If you know what, please include it in your response. I have to get more blood work done soon and if I can, I want to have a list of possible illnesses she can check me for. If you have any specific questions, please ask. I really need a second opinion.

A serious question: Why is McCain so stiff? Is it a medical condition? He doesn't turn his head without turning his shoulders. This is not a dig at McCain, please only serious answers. (I know, that plea for civility will not work.) Thanks. I knew about the torture, but was unaware of the long term effects. I guess it's because in most situations, he doesn't seem to have any outward manifestations of war wounds.

Why would someone come to this forum for medical advice? I don't understand why people explain all sorts of personal and serious medical conditions on this site and then ask for suggestions. Don't they realize that half the people on here are pre-adolescents and the rest of us are whack??? Why don't they go to a dr? (Please make this creative. Thanks!)

Is there a medical term or condition for someone who tries to imitate others? This may seem strange but I have a co-worker that seems to want to imitate or try to do everything I do. For example, if I say I'm going to go to the gym, or buy a new phone, or even come to work with a different type of soft drink... (whatever), she says (and does) the same thing within the next day or two. This has gone on for over a year and it has become very noticeable - not just by me but from other co-workers as well. It's not just small random stuff like that either... At first I thought I was crazy, but I even "tested" my theory by making up something completely out in left field, she actually came to work the very next day saying he was going to do the exact same thing! Is this some sort of disorder or medical condition? I am very serious... Some may say I should be flattered, but this is beginning to really bother me.

Free medical advice? Why do people think they can get good medical advice on Yahoo Answers? I can understand some thing, like how to relieve minor aches and pains, but there are too many questions about serious medical conditions that people are looking for answers for here. "I have blood in my urine, what should I do?" SEE A DOCTOR! "A home pregnancy test showed I am pregnant. What should I do?" SEE A DOCTOR! Are people really this stupid, or do they really get sound medical advice here?

I need some serious help PLEASE, some advice on what to do for my medical condition, where to go for help? I have scar tissue on my trachea preventing me from breathing properly(imagin breathing through a straw).

I was misdiagnosed for asthma for about a year and a half, then about 6 months ago i found a great docotor who told me what i had, tracheomalecia. I then went to an ENT, who said he needed tests done, the 2 tests i needed would cost me $1200 up front, then do payments. A surgical procedure would cost well over $20000 surely.

Can someone, preferably someone with medical knowledge, please help me? Around June I started getting really sick... My stomach and back mostly.. Every time that I eat, no matter what it is, I get sick. I could eat a couple of saltines and I feel like shit... I can't hold anything down.. Drinking anything other than water also makes me sick. I had my gallbladder removed in early September, hoping that would solve the problem.. At least a little, but it hasn't. In fact, It has been getting worse. Along with the stomach pains and getting sick to my stomach... My back hurts. Mostly my lower and mid back... But, at times, it hurts so bad that I can barely move. What could be the problem? Also, just to let you know, I'm in my 20s and in good shape... I eat healthy and exercise (I've had to cut back on the exercising lately, though, because I've been so sick)... I've never had any serious medical conditions, either. Any help would be appreciated.

Do employers usually fire employees that visit doctors too often (due to the high medical costs )? I am originally from Italy and I do not fully understand how health insurance works when it comes to the employer. When you visit the doctor; does the company that you work for also pay for the doctor visit and medical expenses incurred? If so, wouldn't an employer choose to fire you because of the expenses that you bring to the company with your doctor visits, MRIs, MRAs, X-Ray, Cat scan...etc...etc? I am in my late 20s and I have recently found out that I have a couple of pretty serious medical conditions that I have to see doctors for. I am literally afraid to have my employer suspect me of having costly serious medical conditions; and I try to schedule appointments far apart to avoid suspicion....[even though I am supposed to go the doctors NOW] Do employers usually fire employees that visit doctors too often for the fear of the medical costs they will incur?

What medical conditions cause genital lesions that resemble acne? What could genital lesions be that resemble acne in appearance and develop heads like acne does?

Does anyone have any home medicine tips for cats? I have 7 adult, short haired, indoor cats that adopted me a few years ago, and now that I am semi-retired, I have the time to take better care of my 'friends'. Does anyone out there in the Yahoo Community have any tried and proven home health care tips for cats? All my guys and gals are over the 8 human years mark and by knowing as many home health tips for cats, I can save some money by not going to the vet. If a serious medical condition did develop with any of my cats, I will be the first one to get them to my vet, ASAP, but what I am looking for are non-life threatening types of home remedies that other cat owners have used on their pets and solved whatever problem their beloved cats were having. Anyone have any useful health tips you can pass on to me? Thank you in advance!

How does my abstract of my research paper sound to you? 10 points? There are those who actually act blind to the substantial threat that heart diseases pose. Some people go about living their lives unafraid and unaware that any day can be their last day. They eat and drink without remorse and without knowing whether or not what they are doing is healthy to their own bodies. In the medical world, they encounter all kinds of heart conditions and all kinds of patients having them. Although some individuals are becoming more aware of the dangers of heart disease, most people lack basic knowledge regarding the prevention and management of this serious medical condition. A heart disease can be called by many terminologies. The processes and implications of a heart disease can be quite complex, especially for those who are experiencing it whether as a victim or someone related to the victim. It is therefore the purpose of this discussion to comprehend why the heart disease contributes to almost half the deaths recorded in society. This paper will begin by first explaining the basic understanding of what a heart disease is or how it is generally perceived by individuals. Then, this paper will explain the most common causes that may bring about heart diseases. Following this, the technology and modern techniques that are used in a laboratory shall also be analyzed. Finally, this paper will illustrate some of the conventional and known heart surgeries that are in practice today.
