Problem: Article: If your SHBG level is too high, that is generally an indicator that your testosterone is too low. Symptoms can include low libido, erectile dysfunction (in males), hot flashes, and loss of body hair. Additional symptoms include poor concentration, insomnia, moodiness, and loss of energy. There's no need to worry about an invasive procedure. Your doctor can test your levels with a simple blood test. Since testosterone levels are at their highest in the morning, your doctor will likely have your blood drawn between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. SHBG levels can be misleading. If they are high, that doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have enough free testosterone. Talk to your doctor about what various results can mean. It is likely that your doctor will run the test more than once. Listen carefully when they explain their findings and don't be afraid to ask questions. Certain prescription medications have been shown to increase SHBG levels. If your doctor recommends lowering your SHBG levels, you should go over your list of current medications together. Some medications that can raise SHBG levels are: Raloxifene Tamoxifen Spironolactone Metformin There's some debate over whether it is actually safe and effective to treat low testosterone. In some cases, your doctor may advise a course of non-action. If they do recommend treatment, discuss dietary changes and supplements. If they recommend medication, make sure to ask about possible side effects or reactions.
Summary: Know the symptoms of high SHBG levels. Ask your doctor to perform the test. Interpret the results. Ask your doctor about limiting certain medications. Formulate a treatment plan with your doctor.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Experiencing pain is stressful, especially if the source of the pain is unknown. Feeling anxious, panicky, and fearful can actually make the pain worse. Shallow breathing can lead to hyperventilation, impair the ability of getting oxygen into the blood, and lead to more pain, like chest and muscle pain. Try not to focus on the pain. Focusing your thoughts and energy on the pain you are feeling can actually make it worse. Try to relax and focus on other things. For example, think about the next steps you need to take to address the problem causing the pain. Take slow, deep breaths that come from your belly or diaphragm, as opposed to shallow breathing from your chest. This helps to improve the flow of oxygen in your blood, and helps to quiet the intensity of the pain. Controlled breathing techniques are known to be effective in managing severe pain. Breathing techniques have been used for many years to help control the pain of childbirth. Pain may be lessened by sitting in an upright and straight position, or possibly by lying down. Find a position that helps to reduce the pain so you focus on locating the cause of the pain. Sudden onset pain, known as acute pain, is usually a warning sign. The pain is telling you to pay attention. Some common causes for acute pain include broken bones, sprains or strains, minor scrapes and cuts or deeper lacerations, muscle cramps, burns, or a broken tooth. Acute pain is considered to be classified as nociceptive pain. The pain from stepping on a nail or touching a hot stove falls in the category of nociceptive pain. In some cases, the sudden onset of severe pain may be the only warning you get that something is terribly wrong. For example, sudden onset abdominal pain may indicate a ruptured appendix, peritonitis, or a ruptured ovarian cyst. Ignoring sudden onset pain can lead to serious, sometimes life-threatening outcomes, if the need for prompt medical attention is ignored. Once you have identified the cause of the pain, take steps to correct the problem if possible. Acute pain gets better, and can go away completely, once the reason for the pain has been resolved. Taking action to control the cause of the pain may include seeking medical attention. For serious injury or lingering, unexplained pain, medical professionals can help identify the problem and provide treatment options. Situations involving acute pain can last for a few minutes, or can linger for several months. Acute pain that goes unattended can turn into long term, or chronic pain.

SUMMARY: Stay calm. Control your breathing. Assume a comfortable position and try to relax. Identify the source of the pain. Don't ignore sudden, excruciating, pain. Take action to control the problem.
