Do I have tinnitus.........?

Question 1
Do I have tinnitus.........?...  *In case you don't know, tinnitus is like ringing in your ears.

So when there's a lot of noise or people are talking loud in my ears that means I have to talk loud to get them to hear me. Then I get this ringing in my ears. It hurts a lot too, and is really irritating. I'm not sure if I should tell my parents or a doctor or someone because I'm only 13? If it's really loud it feels like there is a fire alarm going off in my ear drum! ahh!

Question 2
Am I diabetic? Do I have a chance?...  I ate a pretty junky meal (French fries, hotdog, etc.) and drank a full bottle of juice, an hour or two later I checked my blood sugar, and to my surprise it was 211. I'm 15 years old, what should I do? Last time I checked it (Couple months ago) it was 80.

Am I fully diabetic or what should I do?

Answers
1)   Go see your local GP or doctor. You have done the right thing about checking your blood sugars. However be very careful about self diagnosis. Further even if you are diabetic it is something you can manage and learn to live with, providing you get the right advice/support and you are willing to make changes.. - waggy

2)   You should go to your doctor, he will most likely drae a A1C and it will show your average sugar for the past several weeks. Also try testing your sugar first thing in the morning before you eat, this will give you a better idea of how your body is managing your blood sugar, if it is able to lower it to a normal level overnight without having to deal with your eating habits. - Alex E

3)   Diabetes is much more than a one-time blood sugar. Whose glucometer are you using? Did the doctor prescribe it to you, or are you using up someone else's supplies? Did you have any strange symptoms along with it? Frequent urination, extreme thirst, dizziness, stomach cramps, or anything else that isn't normal for u? 211 is a bit high, but not dangerous unless it is sustained over a period of time. Definitely ask your parents, and tell them you want to see a doctor. - John M

Question 3
What are some effective home remedies for pimples?...  I have averagely bad pimples that i am absolutely sick of! Does anyone know some home remedies for getting rid of pimples and preventing them?

thanks heaps

Answers
1)   Try peroxide a couple of times a day. - Buster Hymen

2)   My daughter had more than average pimples, she even tried dermatologists, but here is how she got the best results.
She started cleaning her face daily with coconut oil. Olive oil works too, but she likes coconut oil better.
This may seem against common sense, putting oil on oily skin; but in fact her skin got dryer as she cleaned it with these natural oils. - The First Dragon

3)   You can use an egg white mask, which is used by cracking an egg and removing the yolk (yellow) with a spoon, and adding a some squeezes of lemon juice, a pinch of honey, and a very tiny pinch of salt. You sir it good until you see several small bubbles appearing. Wash you're face first, then cover you're face with it. You have to at least leave it on for 15 minutes, or until it's completely dry. Then you can wash it off. I like to keep it on while I sleep though. - Mac Dakis

Question 5
What may happen when my heartbeat is really fast?...  My heartbeat has been 120-150 bpm since yesterday and i feel lightheaded every time. Can somebody tell me what is/is going to happen to me?

Answers
1)   It could be anxiety... - Jayla

2)   I don't know.
What is your respiration rate? Is it fast too? It should be around 20 per minute when you are at rest.
If your respiration is too fast, this may be causing the heart to speed up, and you need to breathe more slowly. Practice some good relaxation techniques. or look up hyperventilation on the web.
It is also possible that you are experiencing some kind of allergic reaction. Sometimes a food allergy will cause tachycardia, as a rapid heart beat is called.
I don't suppose you are taking any stimulant drugs? I assume not, or you would know it.
Maybe you should see a doctor if these suggestions don't solve the problem. That is a very fast heartbeat to last for so long. - The First Dragon

3)   That heartbeat is definitely too high when you sustain it for long periods of time if you are not exerting yourself. It could be anxiety like the first poster said, but there are many more serious things to rule out first. You should definitely see a doctor the very first chance you get. What happens is that your heart beats so fast, that it doesn't have time to completely refill with blood before beating again, thus lowering your blood pressure. Your low blood pressure makes you dizzy. You need an EKG, blood work and a chest x-ray. It is not normal, and you need it checked out by a doctor. - John M
