Avatar n tn I always cough on the phone. It doesn't matter who I am talking with, relatives, strangers, important calls, I ALWAYS cough. I try to restrain the cough till end of short conversation, but then it ends up a harsh hacking coughs. I have tried nasal drip spray. I am trying SinusWars pill but not much help. I need to resolve this as it interfers with my job. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/281926'>Coughing while on phone</a>.
Avatar m tn My wife is arguing in court that half an hour is too much time to spend talking to my children on the phone as it is not natural for a 6 and 8 year old to spend o much time on the phone. Does anyone know of any studies that have been done in relation to this, is it damaging to spend so much time on the phone to my children?

Avatar n tn I too struggle with panic attacks and the fear of them returning. Have you talked to your dr about this? You might want to consider talking with a therapist. I do know that if you let the fear take over your mind it is only going to get worse. The best advice I can give you is to talk to someone and try to face the fear. Get back in your car and go for a drive even if it is only around the block. Each time you do it it will get easier. You have to take your control back.

535822 tn?1443976780 Just this morning on the way in to work, I wasted my time by listening to the know it alls on talk radio. I have XM radio, so I have the opportunity to listen to all of the hot air spewing from both sides and a few points in between. It really doesnt matter which side you listen to on that thing. Both sides are spewing fear and are accusing the other side of doing the same thing.
535822 tn?1443976780 I found a nice big painting/picture that someone was selling,it was craigslist ,it was modern art like a picasso, but no it wasnt a picasso ..I cant afford them, anyway I got the address and dragged the Dh away from his work on our new house, we had been given directions but I guess they were wrong, we drove up and down in the heat, till the dh exploded and we went home .no I didnt get their phone number ....
Avatar n tn Hi, there is a problem my uncle had lived in recent times. When I spoke on the phone, I saw the message twice while the head shook. the room feels it, but can not stop it, continues to talk. It feels like your head is shaking. went to the doctor went to the MR, did a blood test did not come out. They thought it might be psychological and gave me a pill. For a month, their anti-depressant treatment seems to have failed. I saw my uncle's head swinging twice.
Avatar f tn 47 A woman I know says her sister works for a surgeon who sees 2 cell phone related brain tumors a week. The tumor is always on the same side of the head that they use their cell phone on. Glad I got my new phone. Will see if that makes a difference. Ouch! there it goes AGAIN! So confusing. Maybe it's just an earache? But running up my head? Anyone find anything out - please post.

1415482 tn?1459702714 I spoke with my dad frequently on the phone but I never officially met him until I was six. I had two daddys and it was great you know? All of a sudden things turned ugly. My grandmother's guy just turned into a monster, he started to abuse me physically and a little sexually right up to my teens. I was getting hit with all sorts of things, hit in the face, I had scars everywhere...
Avatar f tn i was gonna say! how do i make an appt.? About the deep breathing......good idea but do not over-do it. It is easier than most people think to hyperventilate. Slowing the rhythm of the breath very gently---exhaling completely--has been show to be very effective for anxiety. Some of the effect is just from changing your focus from "oh god the car etc.!" to the feel of the breath. Music works well. And perhaps a nice comfy Blindfold! HA!
Avatar m tn My understanding is that if I waited 3 months before getting tested, I could rely on my result. When I talked to the nurse on the phone, she told me that usually you would have to wait 6 months to be sure. P.S. - I know my username says NY but I was tested in Connecticut, I don't if that makes any difference. Does Connecticut have different tests? Was I given the wrong test (in other words a 6 month test) instead of the usual 3 month test? Please give me your input.
3113038 tn?1391626218 A couple months into our relationship, I started getting super sensitive when my girl friend and him talked on the phone. I started feeling jealous and very insecure (I'm like this with every guy I date). Right of the beginning, he seemed very trustworthy, he is definitely the loyal type, one I can trust. 4 months into our relationship, my girl friend (who happened to be my neighbor) moved our of her place and literally just disappeared.
535822 tn?1443976780 t say how many of those reports prevented an actual terrorist act. In the meantime, very real crimes like gang violence were on the rise. Yes of course the reccession contributes to it because people don't know when they will lose their hard earned income and savings. But none of this is paranoia. These are real world fears. The question is what can be done about them.
6726276 tn?1421126668 This reminds me of the book by Patty Duke, "A Brilliant Madness." There is creativity, coping skills, open mindedness, empathy, and many things I have learned from the Beauty of Bipolar. As I work toward balance, I have had a great deal of fear that I may lose the 'good' parts of me too. I am changed forever from those experiences, so I am seeing that I don't have to give up the good with the bad.
Avatar f tn I felt the exact same! And to be honest I still do everytime I go :( I guess it's just something that will always be in the back of our minds till our bub is in our arms.
Avatar n tn Ok, listen, phobias of the dark can have to do with more than just fearing the dark itself, it can have to do with stress which is hard for some parents to understand, but children do get stressed! Even in the summer. Okay, so 6 isn't really very old and lots of 6 year olds are scared of the dark. I was too and a lamp didn't help me, I had to leave all the lights on.
Avatar f tn My son is 13, he is so scared of the dark, we have put him a night light in his room, he has fish tank that we leave the light on, we also have a fishlight on in the hallway and one in the bathroom, not to mention he has a big security light just outside his window. I have started letting either his sister or his little brother sleep in the room with him because he has two twin beds. This is the only way we all can get a night of sleep.
Avatar n tn m the same way. i get really anxious about talking to family on the phone unless they are really close family. if i don't recognize the number...i don't answer. i generally avoid calling people at all costs. the odd thing is that i'm not "bad" at being on the phone and i'm not really anxious when i'm on it. i don't know what causes it...but you aren't the only one.
