I've had the Mirena coil for 5 months now. I had my regular period 2 weeks ago, and since then, I've been bleeding heavily every other day. I also often have abdominal pain. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am experiencing a sensation in my head similar to rapidly waving my hand back and forth with closed eyes. These attacks last 6 to 8 hours, are very real and devastating, and have been occurring 1-3 times a week for about a year. I have had normal results from an EEG and CAT scan, but the attacks persist. Can you help me find a way to stop these attacks?

I am a 45-year-old male in excellent health. As a teenager, I experienced several mild asthmatic episodes easily treated with an albuterol inhaler. I have not experienced an asthmatic episode in over 30 years. My family has recently learned to scuba dive, but the instructor rejected me based on my asthma history. Is this reasonable? I can find no hard data or facts contraindicating asthma sufferers from diving. Do you know of any?

I am told that my last pap smear came back abnormal. It is the first one I have had since the birth of my youngest son 12 years ago. I am 46 years old and have several children. What does this mean exactly? What should I be concerned with?
