I do smoke and have since Ive been 14. I am now 23, but I didnt get this till I was 17 when I got sick real bad and started to cough up dark green and brown mucus and it never left. After that it was only in the morning time when Id cough or rather hack and would have to hack hard to get it out and Id be done. Now I cough...and cough easily and it comes up almost everytime all day everyday. It seems like everytime I get a cold or something it just gets a stage worse after I get over it. I dont know what to think I did have latent TB (where the germs are dormant), but took INH as a treatment for it before all this started so it shouldnt be that. Im sure most people will say its something to do with my smoking and it very well maybe, but I just thought I was a little young for this and even my father who has been smoking over 20 years does not cough like I do and if he does it isnt mucus filled....I feel like it may be part of a sinus problem. I took antibiotics , but it didnt change a thing and now Im on sinus meds which have very slightly improved the matter, but not much at all....if anyone could tell me what this sounds like and what a doctor could do for me Id like to know. Im scared it may be COPD or emphesema...if not if its a severe sinus problem then not much can be done but a surgery and it will come back eventually. Ive seen my father struggle really hard with severe sinus problems (way worse than mine), but still he does not cough up the crap that I do....whats up with that?

Ok like this has happened to me probably about 10 times in a 3 year radius. I get this chest pain that starts at the top and works its way to the bottom...it feels like a severe charlie horse in my chest and then it gets very hard to breathe properly. It feels localized to the right and left chest, but not in the middle at all. If memory serves me correctly most of the times it has happened I was drinking alcohol and may I add a high alcohol content beverage. It has never happened when I have drank beer just with liquor or vodka...I am 22 years old and this started at age 19. I dont drink often. I do smoke cigarettes however. I have been to the hospital about this the first night it happened because it happened 4 times in a row that night...when it happens it last for about 20 minutes and then lets loose, but noticed any little thing may trigger it again after the first time. The hospital said it wasnt a heart attack...they did a cat scan and x rays and found nothing....so kind of a mystery here and was wondering if anyone could take a guess at what this is...Im so tired of getting the run around...Ive had one doctor say severe acid reflux, but I know what acid reflux feels like and it aint anything like what I have described...of course this doctor didnt give me a chance to describe the whole thing...what Im feeling now doesnt burn or anything like that...just feels like the worst charlie horse you could imagine...and the next day it feels like the inside of my chest is severely bruised and it hurts to cough or laugh...and even talk sometimes....thats the aftermath of what happens...so it makes me want to go to the doc but im scared they will find nothing once again....has anyone else experienced anything else like this or is there anyone out there thats a nurse or doc that may have any idea what this could be....I am afraid if I keep letting this happen there may be some bad consequences.

Ok here's the deal I weighed in at 175 last week and here I stand at 160 this week. I have been on my same normal routine Im not really eating any less and I havn't been vigorously excersizing to get any weight off. What got me real concerned is I dropped 4 pounds between yesterday and today and I did absolutely nothing, but stay at home and relax on the couch. What do you think?

I noticed that the miles are no longer on the boxes and wanted to know if anyone knew why they quit the miles program? Also Does anyone remember when they came out with the marlboros in a black box about 5 years ago? If so do they still make and sell them in a particular place or state?

My breats are sore, I had a missed period, I am constantly hungry, I am having bad headaches, I'm slightly nauseus, I got this butterfly feeling in my lower abdomen, I feel like I am having period cramps. I am 6 days late on my period and I took 2 preg test and they were both negative can someone help? Also can you have hot flashes if you are pregnant?

I tend to believe there isnt really a hell except the one you create yourself or that what goes on around you is your personal hell.....I just want to get your opinion. What do you think?

I am agnostic...I know the difference between atheist and agnostic people, but someone told me agnostics are just atheists without balls...I totally disagree, but I want to see what you guys have to say.
