    Question:   I was cleaning with bleach and began to have a hard time breathing. I went outside and got some fresh air. I was wondering if fumes from bleach can cause permanent injury to the lungs? I'm still having problems breathing. Should I go to the doctor or will this resolve itself in a few days?    Dr. McLaughlin's Answer


    Question:   My mother is 51 and has suffered severe cramps from a young age. She gets them everywhere (i.e., calves, thighs, neck, toes, back, chest) and has recently experienced cramping in the process of a yawn. She has tried diet changes, calcium supplements etc. She has seen the doctor numerous times, been to the hospital for tests where they injected dye into her veins determining that her circulation was fine. I would say on average, she gets cramps 5 nights a week, sometimes several times a night...    Dr. McLaughlin's Answer
