Avatar m tn Secondhand Smoke Linked to Dementia Exposure may increase risk by 44%, researchers say People exposed to secondhand smoke may face as much as a 44 percent increased risk of developing dementia, a new study suggests. While previous research has established a connection between smoking and increased risk for dementia and Alzheimer's disease, this new study is the largest review to date showing a link between secondhand smoke and the threat of dementia, the authors said.
Avatar f tn t risk it but its up to you. Just make sure you know the laws in your state bc in some places your baby will automatically get taken if you test positive. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Just wondering who feels self conscious about breastfeeding in public or in front of other people? I try to plan my outings around when I know she will need to nurse and I always cover up when I do but I still feel very self conscious about it. I was thinking maybe I should start pumping a few bottles just for when we do go out but I'm also hesitant to give her a bottle.
Avatar f tn I was just wondering. Have anybody water broken in public or in unusual places?
Avatar f tn When I'm in public places, mainly school, I get really anxious. My face will tense up, my neck and shoulders don't always but when they do it hurts and I get a bad headache, and its been bad enough at times that my legs tensed up really bad too. I think it gets worse after it starts because I worry about looking strange to others. I'm sure that my problem is mainly because I feel so insecure around other people. Its hard to describe, but its horrible.
Avatar f tn SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - A San Francisco suburb on Monday banned smoking in duplexes, condominiums and other multi-family homes, with city leaders saying they hoped to lead a wave of such regulations across California and ultimately the country. The City Council in San Rafael, a community of 57,000 people about 15 miles north of San Francisco, voted unanimously for the ban, following a handful of other California municipalities that have outlawed smoking in buildings with as few as two units.

A panic attack is a normal response coming at the wrong time...it's our "fight or flight" response. When we are in danger our body is flooded with extra adrenaline so we can defend ourselves, run, whatever.
Avatar n tn Hi, Our 2 year old was just diagnosed with PDD-NOS. We're working with her to increase her words at home (while waiting to hear about our acceptance to an ABA program), but nothing translates to when we go out in public. She just won't speak even if she's comfortable around my husband or me. Why does this happen with kids on the ASD and what can we do to work on it while waiting for therapy? Thanks!
Avatar f tn On a purely anecdotal level, I know quite a few people who smoked pot while pregnant. In the case of one of my best friends, her kids had relatively low birth weights in the 5-6 pound range but she's also extremely tiny to begin with. I haven't observed any negative effects in the children, but then none of them are very old yet either. I agree that smoking anything, regardless of chemical content, is going to take oxygen away from your developing child though.
Avatar f tn My boyfriend quit "cold turkey" about a month ago. Already he sleeps better and coughs so much less. And although he still struggles daily with the temptation, he's doing a great job, and I tell him so. He has since noticed that his hands are "puffy" (his fingers don't fit his bowling ball properly anymore) and that he is nasally "congested" and thinks it may be allergies.
Avatar n tn I not only quit drinking entirely but I also stopped smoking because I read that smoking ALSO effects the liver. I just was very interested in not dodging the law but at least have the law be fair with me!!!
Avatar f tn I finally did hear the word Terrorism used yesterday and thanks to the vigilance of the public all was well, they showed a guy on the tape, in England they have lots of cameras in Public places now whilst I dont agree with too much big brother maybe places like Times Square do need more surveilance ...It will certainly be worse if they do hold the trials of the terrorists in New York ,thats gone quiet at the moment I havent seen an update , I know it was being contested .
Avatar f tn Dear Sir, Many thanks for your answer.Is there anything that i have to avoid? Like smoke (i am not smoking) in public places,wearing classes for protection ftom the computer? or I need to eat something specia?
Avatar f tn m explaining all of this because I want the poster, Missy, to know that the damage done from smoking meth in your home is likely far more prolific and toxic than you can imagine. I've done extensive research in order to learn how to clean the residue. You cannot. Meth produces a vapor, not actually smoke. It changes forms when it comes into contact with moisture or even just movement from daily activity, whether steam from a shower or vacuuming the floor. It doesn't disappear, ever.
Avatar m tn You seem to have a good grasp of how your worry over public places is creating more anxiety and creating symptoms....that's a big step! When you're in public always try to distract yourself, concentrate on why you're there, what is happening around you...anything that gets your mind off the worry. I know it's tough to do this, but the more you go to public places and see that you're fine the better you will feel. Hope this helps and take care!
Avatar n tn * Liquid chlorine bleach and its vapors (at levels of 3-6 ppm in air) are irritating to eyes. At levels of 15 ppm in air people experience nose and throat irritation. Touching liquid chlorine bleach can cause skin irritation. Drinking levels over 4 ppm can cause throat and stomach irritation, nausea and vomiting. Long-term, low-level exposure (e.g.
Avatar m tn Marijuana can cause panic attacks in some people. Mainly in people who have been smoking for a long time, however, I suffered panic attacks after only 4 months of smoking. Marijuana stimulates the pleasure cells in your brain. If you wan't a scientific answer do a web search. Personally, marijuana affects on me were : increased taste, increased hunger, increased sense of hearing, increased sexual pleasure, increased interest in simple or mundane activities, increased paranoia, and sedation.
Avatar f tn I am a 36yr old female. Since the age of 13, I have shaved my face because of excess blonde hair, & when putting on makeup it would look as if I had a mustache. Growing up without much money to go to a doctor. My mother told me to shave it off. I've been so embarrassed throughout the years, because this is something that has to be maintained on a daily basis. My husband has no idea- I sneak in the bathroom in the morning and shave before he gets up for work.
1428129 tn?1283258875 Coughing as a result of smoking marijuana can intensify the pain of a migraine or headache. An alternative to smoking is to prepare it in hot foods (temperature wise) or tea, as heating marijuana increases it's THC levels (so I've read). The effect also last longer when consumed. I don't condone the abuse of marijuana, but I do believe in using it as an herbal remedy for pain along with other ailments.
Avatar f tn good for you , your lungs are most likely trying to figure out what happened to all the smoke , I am asthmatic and sugest that when you quite the weather was cooler and cooler air is lighter than hot air so try staying in a cool places when the day is warmest also you can boil a pot of water and breath the steam for some relief when your chest is feeling tight perhaps a humidifier in you home or office will help as well to keep moisture in the air this will most likely improve with time and if
Avatar f tn I wish people would refrain from certain things in public. Being pregnant and having asthma is not fun but I guess I could refrain from going certain places. Has anybody else had a problem with smells during the pregnancy?
