You would be drinking twice the amount of blood that is in your body.

Unless you weigh at least 200lbs, you will have less than 6 liters of blood.

Wow, that's the stupidest ad I've ever seen.
The large quantities of caffeine, nicotine and alcohol I've consumed this night made me wake up with a pounding heartbeat.
It's pounding quite hard right now and it isn't too consistent.

Shit.
I think I need to go eat.
I shouldn't had drank that alcohol with an empty stomach.
do you guys reckon if i'm finding myself leaning closer and closer towards my laptop/work screen it might be time for an eye test?
i can still read everything fine from a distance, but i can't see any other reason why i'm subconsciously leaning forward unless it's because my eyes are struggling a little bit?

Back about 8 years ago, I got glasses. The way we found out was actually because I had to lean forwards while doing stuff on PC or moving a book close to my head to read. I'd say go for it even though you can't feel it yet. My eye vision has gone from "mildly OK" to "absolute shit" over those 8 years and EVERYTHING looks like a massice blob without my glasses.

Maybe your subconsciously leaning forward to relieve pressure from your head/sinuses, usually find when I have a sore neck etc that I lean forward to relieve pressure, have an eye test if your worried, nothing to be afraid of

Have you been hit there recently?

Let's be really sensationalist (and I mean, incredibly paranoid, as it's rare even amongst cancers - clocking less than 1% of all cancers), but do you check your balls? Just like the ladies are advised to massage and check their breasts, we're meant to check our balls every now and again, feeling for irregular lumps or shapes. They should be pretty similar, though it's normal if the shapes are slightly different and one is slightly bigger. Irregular lumps are what you don't want.
Sure it's highly unlikely that it's anything cancerous especially as it's just an ache - you probably got hit accidently or something monr, but it does exist, and one of the symptoms is an ache.
Also, talking about junk makes me really uncomfortable.
It's more likely he has a Urinary Tract Infection then Cancer.
You've just squashed your balls and the sickness is a result of taking the Ibuprofen
He may very well have a torsion, in which case it may be too late to save the testical. It's more likely than the cancer at least.
I've had a horrible cough for about a month or two, ever since my mum and brother have been smoking inside the house, and my lungs hurt after I cough. I smoke weed about 3-4 times a month, if that's any use. Ive also had phlegm stuck in my throat for a few weeks, sort of stuck in there.

Well, testicular cancer is generally painless and is indicated by a lump. It's also uncommon in younger males. It's possible torsion if it's only in one, but you'd know by now because you'd have a numb, dead right testicle. If the pain stopped and your testicle seems fine, possibly tender, go to the hospital. It could be case of epididymitis. I had it the other month is both of my testicles. I couldn't walk, constantly felt the need to puke the pain was so bad. Was like that for hours and it faded on it's own after I got to the ER. The gave my Doxycycline and it seems to have cleared up. I've been pain free since. Be sure to check your epididymis as well, if there are lumps you could have varicose vein seal, which is fixable as well, and can occasionally cause pain.
Either way, if you haven't already, and even if you're pain free. Go to the hospital.
I like this logic you guys have: "wake up, pain in bollocks, nausea, OBVIOUSLY CANCER"

Well, still worth chucking in the fact that you should check your junk, unlikely as it is.
Besides, internet diagnoses always lead to either lupus or cancer.
or death

It's never lupus.
Just because someone has a brief pain in their balls when they wake up and then proceed to take Ibuprofen, doesn't mean they have cancer or torsion.
Torsion doesn't directly cause sickness, the symptoms would be much harsher, he would have intense pain in his bollocks which could spread to the abdomen (as its a shared nerve supply) his balls would also tender, inflamed, swollen, they would look like a pair of baubles, plus if he woke in the morning and had the pain it can't be, the torsion would have occurred over night when hes moving about subconsciously and the pain would have woke up from his sleep.
Those that are suggesting cancer need to give their heads a wobble.
So, I have a lump under my right ear lobe. Put your middle finger under the ear lobe and it's somewhere in the top part of the middle finger. I asked my mum and she said it could be a cyst, or a boil/spot waiting to come out, it's quite hard and it only hurts when pushed on. I asked my dad and he said the same thing, a boil or cyst. Any thoughts?
Then don't push it?
It sounds normal, you'll find that you may get them along your jaw line and usually your angle of mandible, there just cysts, your body is capable of maintaing and dealing with most problems that it encounters, it will resolve its self in a week or two, maybe more, if it starts hurting without providing pressure, gets bigger or changes shape then either let your parents know or arrange an appointment with your practitioner, but there nothing to worry about in general.

I get this too, a lot actually. Don't worry too much about it, usually goes away on its own. If it's not away within a week or so though, take it up with your parents again.

I wanted to see if it was painful. and thanks.
So I'm in the bathroom brushing my teeth and stuff, when I think I see an eyelash just hanging out on my eye. So I pull the skin below my eye, and I see this fucking blood blister-like thing just sittin there.

That's the best image I could get. It doesn't hurt or anything, what should I do?
Can you get a better picture? It's Really hard to see. Also, if it's not inflamed or breaching the conjunctiva, you shouldn't worry about it.
The fuck is that you made my eye wet goddamn.
If it was inflamed and painful it would be a stye.
I play computer for long periods of time and exercise and random intervals to try to keep "fit". Sadly I still have bad posture though but it most likely isn't a factor of what is happening. Lately I have been noticing a weird feeling on the skin of my left shin (the skin under the knee and above the foot at the front), like some sort of numbess. Not complete numbess though as I can still feel it but as if the skin is "asleep". I have had this feeling for 3-4 days now. This feeling is not present in the right leg.
Ive been doing some reading and this can be the result of two things.
-The first is shin splints - significant inflammation of the fascia of the shin - which is often linked to new or unaccustomed exercise, particularly running.
-The second is sciatica, where the problem is actually in the bottom of the back, but is felt at certain parts of the leg depending on which nerve is affected.
What concerns me is that I havent tooken part in any new or unaccustomed excerises using the legs and I have not taking part in major running lately. Has anyone else had this and should I be concerned?
Help would be much appreciated as back injuries seem to be frequently present in the family. Please excuse any spelling/grammer mistakes, as english is obviously not my first language.
