I am a male 47 year old, why do I have these pains?

Q. I am a 47 year old man and sometimes I have these pains. Had a complete physical last year because I was not feeling good. Everything checked out fine. Good heart, no diabitis doctor checked blood & urine. Everything normal. Sometimes i get a little pain in chest either side and sometimes a little shortness of breadth it only lasts 5-10 seconds then usually goes away. I work an active job standing on my feet for 8 to 10 hours a day. Do you think its stress or just the joys of pushing 50. I get this more when I'm not working. The small pain always goes away, it can happen once a day or not for a couple of days.

A. This is probably not what you want to hear, but usually if you get a clean bill of health, then it has more to do with your emotions. It could be stress. What you described sounds like a panic attack. Is there something new that has been troubling you? Or is there something old that you have shoved under the rug and now it is coming to the surface? Try and slow down a little and think of what could be the source of stress in your life. If you cannot figure it out, then consider talking to a counselor. The fact that you mentioned the joys of turning 50, that could be a source of stress for you. Many people instead of viewing it as another year find the big 50 something hard to cope with.

Who here actually believes the story about how Bin Laden was killed?
Q. Why bury him at sea, where the body can't be recovered and examined to determine not only the 'cause' of death but, and maybe more importantly 'WHEN' he actually died?

All thoughts welcome.

A. ihave to say i find a lot of things about osama's death seem strange. i agree with you...i think its uncanny timing, not to mention a great distraction, from all that waste of time trying to prove obama is an immigrant. i think that the secrecy is thick and makes me wonder not only how he actually died but when and where. this event was like a movie climax that leads to resolution. i mean, how hard would it b find the 6' + guy with diabitis who attacked the cockiest country in history? i just dont buy what theyre trying to sell.


what is the normal level of blood glucose for a diabetic?
Q. the person has type 2 diabitis

A. For a fasting reading, it's the same as it is for a normal person... 80 to 110 mg/dl

These discrepancies you're seeing in the different answers have to do with whether you're talking plasma glucose, whole blood glucose, and where you get your information from. Also, Canada and the UK use mmol/l where you divide our mg/dl by 18 to find 4.4 to 6.1 mmol/l

Most accepted authorities are saying 80 to 110. Below 70 (3.9) is considered low by just about every standard in existence. Above 120 (6.7) is considered high by just about every standard in existence.
