I always brush, floss, tongue scrape, use alcohol-free mouthwashes, drink lots of water, visit my dentist regularly, and maintain a healthy lifestyle, yet I still have persistent bad breath that doesn't seem to originate from my mouth. This issue is affecting my confidence in both work and social life. What other potential causes could there be for my bad breath, and what steps can I take to address it?

I experienced a 7-10 minute episode of dizziness where I felt very hot, unresponsive, and like I was in a tunnel. My husband tried to get me to respond by asking questions, but I could barely answer. The room went dark around the edges and slightly turned to the left. I started feeling better after eating toast and Muscle Milk. I'm 49 years old, had a gastric bypass in 2009, and have maintained my weight. Today, I forgot to drink my Muscle Milk with breakfast. What could have caused this episode?

I am 5' and 170 lbs. Ever since I started menopause, I have consistently gained weight, affecting my self-confidence and causing depression. I am exercising regularly and conscious of my diet, but I am not seeing results and feel discouraged. In 1997, my doctor prescribed phenfen, which worked well for me. I have tried numerous over-the-counter supplements and diet aids, but they have not been effective. My physical and lab results are normal and healthy, but my GP advises me to exercise more and eat less. What other options do I have for weight loss management?

I am 48 years old with no known health problems except occasional back pain from a previous injury. Recently, I wake up with one arm feeling like it is asleep, which usually clears up after moving. However, today the tingling in my left arm and numbness in my hand and fingers have persisted. Does this sound like a nerve problem?

I had a cycle start on 7 May 07, then on 15 Jun 07. This month I have not had one yet. I am on birth control, but I was also taking St. Johns Wort for two months. I am showing symptoms of pregnancy such as lightheadedness, nausea to certain smells and foods, vaginal discharge, fatigue, breast tenderness, and moodiness. I took a home pregnancy test in the evening and it came back negative. Do you think the test is accurate? In my birth control pack, I am on the inactive pills and I should be menstruating, but I am not. Do you think I may be pregnant and the test was taken too early to tell?
