Do you have weird inexplicable non-painful...

[Toks]

sensations which you think about going to see a doctor about but haven't got round to? For the last four months i've been getting these strange pulse like sensations at the side of my head just above the my right ear. They're not painful, it feels like a pulse or blood moving around. I've googled to find out about them and it appears it happen to others to. My mum wants me to see a Doc, thinks its to do with excessive mobile phone use...Does anyone else have strange non painful sensations (know, not that! )

Doctor Snoop here. I've seen this before Toks. I used to have a patient who worked in a pet shop and his favourite hobby was fish listening. It's closely related to horse whispering but with a different kind of animal. Anyway, he complained of exactly the same ailment. Turns out he got a bit too close to the guppy tank one day and one of the cheeky scamps hopped right into his ear. We coaxed it out with a piece of brightly coloured coral and he was fine after that.

Good luck in finding a cure - I'd let yer GP have a looksee if I were you - most stuff on the internet is just nonsense.

Next!

Toks, this is a common condition brought on by over use of ones Turbo .
The blood pulsing thing in your brain is brought on by anxiety by over-concentrating on wattage readings.
Solution: get out with the training group.

From Wikipedia,
Hypocondria
For the anatomical term, see hypochondrium.
Hypochondriasis (or hypochondria, sometimes referred to as health anxiety/health phobia) refers to an excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness. Often, hypochondria persists even after a physician has evaluated a person and reassured him/her that his/her concerns about symptoms do not have an underlying medical basis or, if there is a medical illness, the concerns are far in excess of what is appropriate for the level of disease. Many people suffering from this disorder focus on a particular symptom as the catalyst of their worrying, such as gastro-intestinal problems, palpitations, or muscle fatigue.

The DSM-IV-TR defines this disorder, “Hypochondriasis,” as a somatoform disorder[1] and one study has shown it to affect about 3% of the population.[2]

Hypochondria is often characterized by fears that minor bodily symptoms may indicate a serious illness, constant self-examination and self-diagnosis, and a preoccupation with one's body. Many individuals with hypochondriasis express doubt and disbelief in the doctors' diagnosis, and report that doctors’ reassurance about an absence of a serious medical condition is unconvincing, or un-lasting. Many hypochondriacs require constant reassurance, either from doctors, family, or friends, and the disorder can become a disabling torment for the individual with hypochondriasis, as well as his or her family and friends. Some hypochondriacal individuals are completely avoidant of any reminder of illness, whereas others are frequent visitors of doctors’ offices. Other hypochondriacs will never speak about their terror, convinced that their fear of having a serious illness will not be taken seriously by those in whom they confide.
