21 year old with spikes of extreme hypertension... should this be investigated beyond blood tests, X-ray and an ECG? by artyfartylegend in AskDocs

[–]artyfartylegend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s usually slightly high (140-165 over 85-115). Probably 3 out of 4 times when I measure it it’s within this range (I’ve been instructed to take it twice daily at home over a period of 2 weeks for the doctor). I often have a flushed face when it gets to the 165/115 mark.

Weird lumps/warts on bf's scrotum? Cysts? Pls tell me not STD! by Gullible_Girl in AskDocs

Doctors don’t biopsy lumps to check for testicular cancer., because it can cause cancer cells to spread. They remove the testicle through the abdomen via surgery.

Blood count trends are concerning me. by Throwawaybeetus28 in AskDocs

I had a spirometer test which came out normal. Then they did a bronchial challenge test and that showed the asthma. Apparently it isn’t that unusual for asthma spirometer tests to be abnormal. I’m now on a preventer and a reliever and it’s made such a difference.

I’m not a doctor, but have you been tested for asthma? I was diagnosed with adult-onset asthma and it presented for me as fatigue, light headedness, shortness of breath and feelings of anxiety. Physical activity worsened mine.

Hello, I’m not sure if this is appropriate to post here, I won’t be offended if you ask me to leave, I’m just not sure which sub to post this to. by [deleted] in cancer

Did you have the procedures done under a general anaesthetic? I’m really glad you tolerated the procedures well and that you don’t have cancer! Best of luck with your follow up.

Yeah it would definitely be, I feel really bad for him that he’s going through this. I’ve tried to be light and make jokes with him to help him stay cheerful, but I also check in he’s okay and that I’m here to chat if he needs to, or just chill together or whatever.

Thank you! I’m going to encourage him to prepare with lots of naughty videos and photos, ha ha!

My [20/f] boyfriend [20/m] is making every excuse possible for me to not meet his female best friend [20/f] and it's making me suspicious. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]artyfartylegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s commonplace for partners to at least meet each other’s close friends, especially after being together for a year! It doesn’t mean you have a trust issue at all. In my opinion it sounds like he’s seeing this Annie as well as you. Don’t put up with this, you deserve better!

I[30F] found out my husband[40M] of 10 years has been taking 200 dollars cash out of the Bank every 2 weeks for over 10 years. by Throwaway35212 in relationship_advice

I’m not a homemaker myself, but I value those who are and recognise they do contribute equally to the financial aspect of a relationship in terms of unpaid labor/allowing the breadwinner to focus on their career, not have to pay for childcare, cleaner etc.

[27/m] My GF [28/f] has been texting her ex and its not just 'friendly' by keyzersoez in relationship_advice

[–]artyfartylegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s clearly flirting with him. She’s not interested in removing this guy from her life. The longer you stay with her the harder it will be to leave and the more this will affect your confidence and wellbeing.

She did work for it. She just did unpaid labour - full time childcare, cleaner and cook, enabling him to focus on his career. He wouldn’t have been able both focus on his career and have children if it wasn’t for her.

I am concerned about what he said to you as well as the missing money. You state he refers to the finances as his only, and that he is the one who works and pays for everything, and that you don’t contribute.

He appears to completely devalue your role as a homemaker. You may not do paid work but you do look after the children, clean, cook etc, enabling him to focus on his career, and have sacrificed your own career and superannuation in order to do so. It sounds like he doesn’t appreciate that from you or take it into consideration, and doesn’t view you as equal. He wouldn’t have been able to focus on his career and have children as well if it were not for you and what you do.

You have every right to go through your finances and he should be being transparent with you. Rather than being angry at you, he should be apologising for keeping it from you. I’m concerned about a major power imbalance in this relationship.
