Are stomach cramps and back pain contractions?

September 4th, 2011

Lisha, Lish, Elisha Bear asked:


Hey, I am 36 weeks, 75% effaced and 1 cm dialated. I have been having these period-like cramps in my lower stomach and bad back pain but my stomach is not really tightening up at all. Are they contractions?? They also really don’t build and then decrease in intensity to much.

January 14th, 2011

Andy asked:


hey I am 16 from england
I get very nervous talking to people, to the point where my voice changes and I struggle stringing like two sentences together without feeling embarrassed. It gets to me inside and has done for the last 5 years. Anyway I wanted to ask, united kingdom remember, if there was any medication I could take to calm my nerves. years back I once took “kalms” or something like that but it didn’t help me one bit just tasted like sewers. any ideas?

Anxiety?

July 21st, 2010

Night_Wolf asked:


Hey all. Let me get down to the point… Sometimes throughout the day, I have a hard time breathing, like it’s extremely hard to breath, I feel so much pressure on my lungs, I get hot, I get aggravated, and sweat a little bit. I went to the doctor’s, and they said that I don’t have asthma. So, I don’t know what the hell I have, but I tried smoking whenever this shitty thing happens to me, and it goes away. Smoking is harmful for the body and I want to quit, but I don’t want to have trouble breathing again. I’ve tried eating gum [as an alternative to smoking] whenever I get this breathing attack, but I’d still get it. I’ve tried having seeds, but still the same thing. I’ve tried those two because whenever I ge the urge to smoke, I just have gum or seeds, and usually the urge goes away. So, I’d like to know what the hell is wrong with me so I won’t have to smoke before I become really addicted. I just **** that nicotine after taste.

I asked this question earlier, and according to some, it’s anxiety. Where do I go for that? Do I go to my normal pediatrician? (I’m 17 btw) I went there before, and the guy made it look like I was faking this whole thing, what an *******. This is from 2 years ago…

By the by: please dont give me stupid answers like oh! you should tell the master general health **** that you found a cure to breathlessness, or something stupid like that.
