What diseases can cause the same symptoms as anxiety disorder?

---

I was doing some research (helping a friend) who complains of being constantly dizzy and disoriented. He had a panic attack in his car a few months ago and now everytime he gets into his car he comes close to suffering another one. However, the dizziness and disorientation (he also has problems sleeping) are constant, car or not. His parents think it's anxiety but I'm not quite sure.

What other diseases or disorders can cause those symptoms?
Hyperthyroidism?  (+ info)

What diseases does the doctor check for during a checkup?

---

I had to go to the doctor for a checkup and various immunizations before college. I wanted to also get tested for STDs. The thing is, I'm pretty sure I don't have any (I'm not sexually active) but I don't want any surprises like HPV from sharing lip gloss. Anyway, I went to the doctor last week for a checkup and I wanted to know what diseases the doctors check for.
They dont check for diseases they check for symptoms.


PS Tony you're too excited.  (+ info)

Why are older people more vulnerable to diseases and illnesses?

---

Why is it that the older you get, the more vulnerable you are to diseases and illnesses?
Everything begins to wear out as we grow older, including our immune systems. The same thing happens to our eyes with cataracts, our joints with arthritis, and our hearing with age-related deafness. Stuff just wears out.  (+ info)

What diseases can you get from touching trash?

---

Say you take out the trash and don't wash your hands afterward. What kind of diseases/germs can you pick up? Or is this a germaphobe type of question?
It is a germaphobe kind of question.

So take a deep breath, take out the trash, and wash your hands.

All the best.  (+ info)

What other diseases can be acquired by getting addicted to alcohol?

---

Harry, my lab partner, is an alcoholic. He doesn't want to admit it but he is an alcoholic. Alcohol is like his daily vitamins or something. He drinks whenever he can... even before going to class! I'm really worried about him and I want to help him overcome his alcoholism. I'm also scared that he might develop other diseases just because of his bad drinking habits. I can't get through a day in chem without him. Please help me.
Are you in love with you lab partner? I'm just kidding. Anyway, there are certain diseases which may be developed because of alcoholism. Some of these are Wernicke's Encephalopathy, Korsakoff's syndrome, cirrhosis, fetal alcohol syndrome (for babies with drinking mothers), liver diseases and even cancer. Alcoholics have difficulties in coordination, reflexes, concentration, judgment and sleeping. Other effects of alcoholism include distorted vision, memory lapses and blackouts.  (+ info)

What causes the emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases?

---

What causes the emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases?

-Thank you sooo much!
Many things cause the emergence/reemergence of infectious diseases: antimicrobial resistance, increasing global travel, globalization of the food supply, ecological and climate changes, people and wild animals living in closer proximity and human behavior to name a few.  (+ info)

What are diseases caused by shortage or excessive of lipids?

---

I just want to know the names of the diseases.
Deficiency of essential fatty acids
A major deficiency may cause damage to the heart, as well as the kidneys and liver. Behavior disturbances may also result from a deficiency in the diet.

Hair loss and skin eczema have also been reported as well as excessive sweating.

An under-par immune system may result from a shortage of this nutrient which in turn may result in slow healing wounds, and susceptibility to infections etc.

Stiffness in joints may happen, and an under secretion of tear and saliva may be indicative of too little essential fatty acids in the diet.

It has also been suggested that it may have an influence on infertility in men and miscarriages in women.

Blood pressure may be elevated and the formation of blood clots may be an increased risk to contend with.

Toxicity and symptoms of high intake
No toxicity has been reported in healthy individuals but people with health problems should be careful with taking any supplements.

People suffering from epilepsy should be careful of taking supplements of seed oils, as they can aggravate the problem, while people with blood disorders or a problem with bleeding should be careful of fish oil supplements.

Should you be taking a supplement of essential fatty acids, it would be recommended that you first discuss it with your health professional.

What are the major causes of heart diseases?

---

I know "heart disease" is like a term used to describe ALL kinds of diseases having to do with the heart and arteries...so I was wondering if there were any causes to these diseases that are common in most of them. Thanks for any help!
There are many factors that increase one's risk for heart disease. The biggest three are smoking, obesity and blood pressure. Also take into account age, comorbidties (other diseases that can affect the heart, like diabetes) heredity, and diet.  (+ info)
