Open Question: is left axis variation on an ekg bad?
I’ve been getting heart palptiations where my heart will beat hard for quite a while now. A couple years ago this whole thing started with me feeling like a flutter type feeling in my heart. I blame that on cipro that I’ve taken because it only happened when i took that. Though it didn’t use to. Since I’ve stopped the medication, it doesn’t happen anymore. However, i do get these palpitations, mostly around the time of my menstrual cycle. I’ve been to two cardiologist. I have had an electro cardio gram which they said showed no abnormalities. That was a year ago. More recently, I’ve had a stress test done with a treadmill (not with adrenaline or whatever they put in your arm), i’ve had ekg’s, i’ve had blood work and a chest x ray. my dr. hasn’t specifically gone over all the results with me, but both cardiologists have told me everything looks fine. I did however see a note my cardiologist wrote my dr saying i have sinus rhythm with slight left axis variation. what does this mean?
i get chest pains all the time. it will be in one spot on the left side of my chest. this spot will move different times. but the pain will usually only be in one spot at once, not spread out. i’ve had ekg’s done right after the worse pains and they’ve always told me they were normal except for sinus arrythmia which they say is no big deal. my dr also said i probably have a heart murmur which gets better when i sit up. what do these things mean? are they bad? i dont know my whole family history, i know my grandma has heart failure i think. i’m adopted so i dont know all of the information.
any reassurance anyone can give me would be much appreaciated. i’m scared by these results. and i’m not happy with the pain i get.
thank you.

Weight loss and weight lifting question?
I have some belly fat that i like to loose. lets say that i want to loose 10 pounds and gain some muscle, how long will this process take? If i work out 3-4 times a week? i am 6’1 and weight about 185 pounds.
What supplements would you guys recommend? should i use creatine?

Answer by Mitch
Take a mile jog every night. Also when you work out make sure you’re very hydrated. To lose 10 pounds and gain some muscle, if you do what i said every night, you should see results within about a week.. 2 weeks tops. Also as far as supplements goes, just eat a protein bar after you work out. Hope I helped.

Resolved Question: Beat Satan, not your penis?
I was a third generation masturbator. My grandfather taught my father and he taught me. At an early age I was told that it was OK to beat my monkey. In fact, I was encouraged by my father to have contests with him and my brother to see who could do it the most often and the fastest. This continued all through my young adult and early married life.
Up until one year ago I was masturbating a minimum of three times a day. I did it at the office, in the car, at the health club. There weren’t many places I didn’t do it.
When my son was born I masturbated just thinking about the day I could introduce him to masturbating.
All I thought about was when I could get away somewhere private and abuse myself. Then someone at church introduced me to BBDBO. Jim Hodges followed me into the rest-room and just as I was about to go into a stall to “do it” he stopped me and told me about this great new ministry for people like us.
I was embarrassed but intrigued. “People like us?” I asked him. That is when he told me that he too was addicted to masturbation and shared his testimony with me right there in that bathroom stall.
He invited me to a meeting that evening in the fellowship hall. I was surprised to see how many men that I worked with, played golf with, and worshiped with were addicted to masturbating.
I broke down that night and confessed my desire to change. I knew that God was telling me to take matters into my own hands and my penis out of them.
After a few sessions with Pastor Grover I was saved by the grace of God. With a scripture based therapy and group sessions I haven’t masturbated since.
Now, the only thing I fondle in the heat of the moment is a KJV 1611 bible
Open Question: What do I actually want in life?
I’m a college freshman who swore to start living healthy last summer. I did Insanity workouts six days a week before i went to take summer classes, and while I was in college during summer, I did weight training for six weeks. My mom told me that I got skinnier. But then for a few days before I go back to college I binge-eat a lot and got a little chubbier and I felt that my Insanity and weight lifting program is not working. In fall I did Boot-camp and Wushu Club but soon I got too busy that my only exercise is now Wushu (which is two and a half hours for three days a week). Sometimes I practice Wushu on non-club days, although I haven’t done so much these days. I feel terrible that I might not doing enough to be healthy. I don’t know if I want to devote to more exercise or look forward to exercising everyday anymore (I pushed myself in Insanity and weight training and the thought of wheezing turns off the idea of exercising for me even though from time to time I look forward to exercise).
Here’s another thing: I want to be healthy and admired and feel good about myself. I want to be a martial arts choreographer even I have just started Wushu recently. I want to be muscular and have a skinnier face and be strong and show confidence like martial artists in DVD covers. I feel so vain and ashamed. All I really care about is looking skinny for others. I know exercising and good diet is good for my body (I have a pretty weak immune system – my nose itches if I don’t do exercise; my hair geets oily if I do not exercise; if I eat too much, I would feel uncomfortable and have to burp or fart), and yet I don’t really care about my physical health. I care about appearance, and it seems like my diet plans and exercises are taking a long time to melt off my body fat.
For some reason, I feel my stomach fat is slowly melting because I learned to eat slowly and eat more fruit and vegetable. Initially I feel happy because I always want to be skinnier. then I began to take a step further: eating so slow that it takes 20 minutes to finish a bowl of food and a fruit and avoiding junk food (eating them only if I hang out with my friends). Yet lately, I keep seeing people with Starbucks or ice cream and cookie and they’re so skinny or muscular and I keep looking at them. Just last Friday I went back to bingeing and I feel as disgusting and unhealthy as I was before last summer!
My mom told me to eat more fruit and vegetables and that no matter how much I eat, as long as i exercise, i can burn fat. She also says have a sweet once a week. I tried this for a while but then I start craving sweets believing the idea that sweets are addictive, so I gave that up. I feel like the best way for me to burn fat is to do exercise in the morning (as I did in summer) and to eat slowly for 20 minutes with 3 meals a day (as I did a week ago). But everything feels like a chore! I want to be an athlete and look like one and be a cool, knowledgable athlete inspiring awe from my cousins and relatives who look down on my family. I want to be strong because I have been weak mentally and physically ever since elementary school. I want to be skinny because I look down everytime to see what seems like a big fat belly. I want to melt the cheeky fat like I successfully did for a short time last summer and smile and look more handsome than with my drenched oily hair and chubby face. I have so much thoughts and theories.
What should be my ultimate goal in health?
How can i make exercising and eating good food feel like it’s not a chore?
What seems to be best way to exercise and to control food cravings for me? For example, should I have only one sweet a week (it doesn’t feel satisfying enough for me), should I go on strict diet for six days a week and slurge for one day (I’ve tried this but it kinda gets out of control), or should I have junk food only when I go out with friends (God knows when I have time to go out with friends)?
I feel so tired of exercising, and I don’t know why I feel so even though I have made improvements in my Wushu (and yet I’m still SLOWLY losing fat and feeling weak to succumb to bingeing and I still feel unconfident about myself). i have looking for advice everywhere for the last eleven months, but they are all general and it’s hard to know what to trust anymore.
What can I do to clean up and organize all these thoughts and actually make progress jst a little bit faster? I don’t even know if I want to do this t impress others or to help myself.
