View 2 RepliesThroat :: Bad Breath When I Swallow Saliva
I usually have this quick production of saliva in my mouth every 2mins and I have to swallow it since i can't spit it out in public :). But when i swallow the saliva, it produces bad breath. If i take a deep breath the same bad breath or if i burp after eating, it produces bad breath. I have tried all types of mouthwash, hydrogen peroxide but no results.
View 1 RepliesLansoprazole :: Producing Terrible Saliva And Persistent Mucus
I am 29 M, have asthma and suffer with anxiety. Started getting bad asthma 2 months ago when playing football and this continued every time I played/ did exercise. Went to docs after a month and was given seretide preventor. After a week of slightly improved asthma I started getting really bad indigestion, gas, acid reflux. Never had this before so considering my anxiety -I am scared!
Went back to docs last week and he has given me Lansoprazole and sent me for blood test, stool test tomorrow. But the LANs while it has helped with acid, I'm now getting chronic, consistent, persistent mucus, which is driving me to distraction and horrible feeling in my throat just below Adam's apple. I'm convinced there is something drastically wrong with me. My wife thinks it's my anxiety and probably not a serious condition but having never had reflux to then have it ALL the time for 2.5 weeks I'm terrified.
Can anyone offer any help or advice? Has anyone had mucus with LANs? Is 3 days of LANs enough to know whether it is going to work fully or not?
Oraquick - Control Line Appear Means Saliva Sample Was Enough?
If the control line appears does that mean the saliva sample was enough? I took the test but I swabbed fairly quickly the top and bottom of the mouth and now i am doubting if the negative result i got is correct?
View 6 RepliesAnxiety :: Excess Mucus
I'm 69 & only have had 2 significant health issues over the past 7 or so years:-
1) BPH with a permanent indwelling catheter for 3 years..
2) chronic mucus production.
the BPH has been recently sorted with a TURP but the mucus problem is still ongoing.& seems to be triggered if i want to go out or do some simple task in the house - i just cough it up to the point of being sick - the mucus is clear, sticky & sometimes frothy.
strangely the "attacks" never happen in anyone's presence & when i was in hospital for the TURP & before that for 2 weeks suffering from urine retention "the attacks" never happened at all.(??)
Eyes :: Excess Watering - 2.5 Years Old Kid
My 2.5 year old kid has recently developed excess watering in his left eye. Its been about 3 weeks now since he has it. The whole of his eye gets filled up with water, in about 5 minutes after he wipes out. I have not seen the water roll down the cheek though.
My doctor gave me ciprofloxacin eye drops, but has not helped. The main problem was, being a kid, he never allows me or my wife to touch his eye. We have to apply those drops only when he was asleep.
I am planning to take him to an eye specialist this weekend. Any suggestions are welcome.

View 2 RepliesSexual Stimulation :: Excess Masturbation And Weak Erection
I am doing masturbation since 15 year,i am 28 now,sometimes i could make 4 times in about 3 hours.
Lastly,i have noticed softening of my erection,with no much pleasure neither during masturbation or even at time of ejaculation.
something is wrong,i am so worried.
I am noticing dilated veins on the penis,maybe the blood is shifting to these dilated veins,so it is taking from the blood that goes to the corpori?!!
maybe there's another explanation.
My erection is weak,and i think it is due to excessive masturbation i did last period. Any treatment for this?
if i will apply ice on the dilated veins daily for example,would it help yo get these veins not dilated again?
i know that this may sound funny,but i really want to resume what i lost.

View 58 RepliesSore Throat :: Tonsillitis - Excess Mucus Causing Swallowing Difficulties
I am 16 years old and have been experiencing my latest (and worst yet) bout of tonsillitis for the past 4-5 days. I have been taking soluble aspirin and paracetamol, and today my GP prescribed me some soluble penicillin antibiotics to help fight it off. However, I am experiencing lots of thick green mucus in my throat and a yellow-greenish coating of mucus on my tongue that just will not go away no matter how many times I spit it out. The mucus is causing many difficulties for me in terms of swallowing food and drink, as (with drinks) either I swallow some of the mucus with the fluid or the drink mixes with the mucus and ends up stuck in my throat.
I am going on holiday to Egypt for a week on the 26th June so I really need to get this cleared up before then! Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can alleviate the pain and get rid of all this mucus?
Fluoxetine :: Excess Worry, Feeling Guilty For Hardly Reason, Mood Swings
I've been on prozac 40mg 5 weeks and my mood is getting so much improved. But I am having mood swings, and I worry about everything. I feel guilt out of nowhere. I'm in college and I even feel guilty for going to see my partner 15 minutes away because of fear of my parents being upset. Because they gave me impression that they would like me to see my partner over the weekend and not on the weekdays. I am almost paranoia. I have this feeling of anxiety and guilt. Is this a side effect? Will this go away? It was not this way before.
View 1 RepliesVenlafaxine Withdrawal - Dizziness, Dry Mouth, Excess Sleepiness, Confusion, Mental Oblivions
I've been on venlafaxine for about 2 years, taking a dose of 150 mg per day. I used to take the generic pills which are cheaper. To be honest I didn't even know there was an 'original' one, named Effexor, until last friday.
When I changed town I continued the treatment with another doctor, and he suggested i came off the drug. I thought I'd try, and for the first month I reduced from 150mg to 75mg. Nothing wrong there. Then I took another step and reduced from 75 to 37,5mg and in the fourth day I collapsed.
I had this breakdown, feeling all kind of weird symptoms: dizziness, dry mouth, excess sleepiness, confusion, mental oblivions (memory lapses), total apathy, total loss of libido.
I got really scared and tried to go back on my own since I was off town and couldn't talk to the doctor.
I took for 3 days the 150 mg pills but that didn't help. I consulted another doctor and he suggested to take a 107,5 mg dose (75+37,5) for 20 days and then restore the original 150 mg dose afterwards.
It's been 6 days since I started taking this dose and I still feel awful! I feel like I'm not the same anymore!!! It's the strangest thing ever. I had to ask for a job-absent license cause I can't work in these conditions.
One other thing is that a moved from the generic pills to the Effexor (from Pfizer - Wyeth) - the doc suggested that - and I don't know if that is making things worse...
I feel really awkward, useless, like my brain is in slow motion. I've been thinking about going' cold turkey since taking back venlafaxine did not help.
