My huband has been having some breathing issues. When he is asleep I frequently have to SHAKE him to wake him up (somewhat) so that he starts breathing normally again. Also, if I am asleep then he will wake up gasping for air! This scares the crap out of me!! Also, he has been somewhat lightheaded and dizzy. He feels worn down and tired a lot too. He says that he just doesnt feel "right!" He IS a smoker (I know.. I dont need preaching about telling him to quit!) and he works in heat and air so he's been exposed to things like asbestos and fiberglass entering his lungs. He doesnt really have a problem getting a "good" breath though.. just feeling dizzy (like I said). And OF COURSE being a "man" he doesnt want to go to the doctor unless its ABSOLUTELY necessary (and I cant really FORCE him to go, ya know!?) Plus we dont have health insurance b/c we simply cant afford it! I was just wondering if anyone might have a CLUE as to what might be going on!
Answer:
It could still be sleep apnea. It could also be asthma or emphysema. (or other things). If it's asthma he'll probably get an inhaler that is just wonderful when you're having trouble breathing.
Look for a clinic that treats people without health insurance, even if it's a clinic for low income people. Most places have some kind of free health care for people without health insurance. it's just a matter of looking for it. Try a county hospital clinic. If you still cannot find any place that will take him for free then go to a doctor and tell them up front that you don't have insurance and couldn't afford a large bill and then tell him your husband's symptoms. Most will do what they can for the smallest amount of money or refer you to someone who charges according to income.
With him being run down, it could be so many things and some things get worse if they're not treated as early as possible. Try telling your husband that he's only got one set of lungs and there's no more where that came from. If that doesn't work, jokingly tell him he'll be sleeping on the couch until he sees a doctor!
Sleep apnea can cause problems when one is awake. Feeling esp. tired during the day is one of the main symptoms. Definatly something isn't right, I would certainly try to get him to go to the doc.

Breath shortness?
sometimes i have problems taking deep breaths that i feel like i need and i have to sit and keep on trying to take a deep breath like my breathing aint stopped i just feel a little short of breathe what would cause this
19yearold
Answer:
This could be asthma or allergies with asthma-like symptoms. I have allergies and have trouble taking deep breaths because of them. Go to your doctor and have him or her listen to your breathing. Do you wheeze? How long has his been going on for? Do you smoke? I use Advair daily to help with my shallow breathing and Albuterol if I really can't breathe.
get checked for asthma!

Breast lift?
I am over 40, my breast sag but I can't afford cosmetic surgery. What can I do to lift them naturally beside a bra?
Answer:
I honestly don't know of anything else besides a bra, however, I noticed in my health benefits package that there are providers that perform this at an affordable discount. If that's something you're considering you can see if they have any near you http://www.youdeservehealthcare.com...
Hold them with your hands? lol
I think a bra would be the only way to lift them without surgery. I don't think any creams or pills actually work.
Maybe lots of pushups may make the muscle underneath a littler perkier?
If you have back pain you could get a breast reduction with a breast lift covered by your insurance.
A bra is the only way to go non surgically.

Breast Implant question! please help!?
so...everything looked really good after my operation and up until about 2 weeks ago. Its been like 3 months. Anyways, I started to work out again like 2 or 3 weeks ago. And I would jog long distances. And ever since then I have developed stretch marks on both of my breasts! Do you have any idea why? Can I never jog again? I am only a size b so its not like they are really big, I just need some advice or insight from someone
Answer:
stretch marks are tiny tears in the deep layer of skin. You have to wear a support or sports bra, so your breasts won't be bouncing up and down, making those tears easier. Remeber that even if your implants are not big, your skin is already stretched from them, and the least you want to do is subject it to more trauma by not wearing a bra with good support.
As for the stretchmarks, go buy vitamin E oil capsules, cut one's tip off and rub the oil every day after bath for about 6 weeks, This should help improve their appearance.
my sister had implants done and she went from an A to a B, she was told to ALWAYS wear a bra, that support was necessary.
so maybe that is the problem for you? if you aren't wearing a bra of some sort? even a sports bra, but you need to have support.
sorry i can't be of more help to you.
oops..looks like your surgeon forgot to tell you that could happen...especially if you were really small...skin is like elastic when it stretches too fast it pulls and causes stretch marks.If they are new...you could have laser surgery to help.

Breast augmentation help..?
well I got my girl half a boob job (dumb broad couldn't wait for the rest of the money to complete it) because thats all I could afford at the moment but how do I tell her she looks kinda funny with one really big boob and one small one.when she's out in public she stuffs the one side of her bra so it looks normal but in the bed room it looks like she's got Rocky Balboa's speed bag stapled to her chest.
Answer:
If this is a serious question, then you need to go on Jerry Springer.
That is mad - who can believe such a dumb thing.
Nice!
lol...are you for real. I didnt think doctor did that.
No doctor would do that. Make up something that's actually believable.
yes this can happen to some.
silicon pad bellow the breast by some plastic surgeon is the answer.
No one believes this ridiculous question. No surgeon would do that because they would still charge you the same price- you actually dont pay for the implants, you pay for the Plastic Surgeons service. That means that you would be paying double everything.
For example, last week I had a Breast Reduction. If I only had one boob done, then I would still be paying my surgeon, the hospital fee, theatre cost, assistant surgeon, anaesthetist, etc. So I would have paid AU $11,000 twice. Just as you would be doing if your story was true

Brand new pair of sneakers make my feet stink already, why is that? (wear them without socks)?
I put on a brand new pair of Etnies Sneakers, the other day and wore them without socks since I don't like wearing socks. They are VERY comfy sneakers to wear without socks, and I really like them. When I took them off that night, they stunk right away, and normally it takes about 6 months before my sneakers start to stink. What causes them to stink right away. Were the sneakers defective? Or is it the material the sneakers are made of to make my feet stink so soon.
Answer:
You need socks to help wisk away the sweat and moisture. Without socks there is no place for the moisture to go and your feet and shoes will start smelling.

Brain Imaging - Brain Spects/Scans?
What's your view on this type of diagnostic procedure. Visit www.amenclinic.com or brainplace.com for details.
Would you reccomend or consider this an accurate form of diagnostic procedure?
Answer:
it's an excellent form of diagnostic procedure, and if you live in a place where you have access to such equipment, you're lucky.
Brain imaging can pick up many things that would otherwise never be known, for example, the presence of tumors, size and location of lesions, overall brain response activity, abnormal brain development, location of brain damage or injury, and other things.
Brain imaging takes the guesswork out of a lot of neuroscience. I don't want to go so far as to call it a miracle, but it sure is a great medical advance.
