Q&A: Mild chest pain for 22year old woman?

Question by Aecutie8504: Mild chest pain for 22year old woman?
I’m 22 and today around noon time i started getting mild chest pains. The pain was dull and felt deep in my chest. Before i got the pain…like 4 hours or so before…my left hand got extremely tingly for no reason. I’ve been sick off and on for about 3 months but the doc told me it was either a strong flu bug or a virus that i can’t get rid of for more than a few days. I take vitamins every day to help out my immune system. But now i’m concerned about the chest pain….any ideas?
Don’t worry ealallen i’m not going to sue anyone for diagnosing me. I’m just trying to get an outside opinion on what i should do…wait or have it checked out.

Forgot to add that since i got sick 3months ago i’ve lost about 15lbs…i’m 126lbs and 5’4”. I also just noticed that the veins in my hands are pushing up against my skin and now they are right at the surface. I normally have very very deep veins in my hands and arms. There isn’t one person who’s started an IV on me that got it on the first try….

What are levels of trauma and how does a hospital determine to be a certain trauma level?

Question by queenofsiberia: What are levels of trauma and how does a hospital determine to be a certain trauma level?
Like Level one trauma, Level two, Level 3 and Level four..I don’t there’s a level five?

I watch Discovery health channel and they have shows on there, one happens to be Level One Trauma and they also have Trauma in the ER. Its so fast paced and yet scary but is interesting all at the same time to watch and learn how one assess a patient and handles the method of care. Thanks for answering.

The levels of trauma are in place to prioritise the order in which the patients are to be seen. Meaning that as a nurse you need to have the skills to decide who is the MOST important patient that needs to be seen by a doctor next. In my country being a trauma 1 means you need to be seen fairly quickly, trauma 5 means last priority. There is no “first in first served” policy in an ER, and this is often the thing that gets patients riled. For instance; If you’ve been waiting 5 hours for your broken rib to be seen to it’s going to be an even longer wait if 2 heart attacks, 1 asthma attack, and 1 head injury come in in the meantime.
Another way of looking at the situation is this – ask yourself “who is likely to die first if they don’t receive treatment?” Not the broken rib that’s for sure….

foot/toe pain………?

Question by : foot/toe pain………?
so i’m a runner and am training for cross country this summer, so i’ve been doing quite a bit of running. lately i’ve been having this foot pain, kind of by my toes, the big one especially. it’s on the top part, like where my joints are. i went to the doctor and he thinks it is a stressed ligament. i’m really angry about taking all this time off from running though. i actually limp when i walk too. does anybody have any advice for me, or have you ever had this problem? any help would be appreciated. thanks so much in advance.

If the pain is causing you to limp when you walk this can be a very serious problem.
You can not run when the pain causes you to alter your gait.
You can swim or run in deep water or bike but do not run.
