My husband is getting severe back spasms in his lower back, possibly as a result of twisting wrong while doing sit-ups. He is getting no relief from ibuprofen. Is there an over-the-counter alternative?

Did your husband’s back pain developed after doing sit-ups? Then it is likely due to muscle injury or spasm. Still, there are many other causes of back pain. They range from the common and benign (such as overuse or osteoarthritis) to more serious causes (including osteoporosis with fracture or a bone infection).

I have had type 1 diabetes for 23 years. The published literature I have read states that ideal blood glucose levels should be between 80 and 120. Why do I feel the symptoms of low blood sugar at 80 to 90 when this is the normal range for a non-diabetic?

I have high blood pressure. I am taking pills to reduce the pressure and they keep it pretty well under control during the day. However, I wake up in the morning with much higher pressure. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to lower my early morning blood pressure?

I have costochondritis. What causes this? I’ve had no injury, but lots of stress and mental health problems. Can stress bring this on? Is this chronic?

I have frequent headaches. I don’t like taking pain relievers. I’ve been told that vitamins can help prevent headaches. Is this true? What about other natural products?

y 13-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with a hemangioma. It looks like a wart, and about the size of a pencil eraser. It’s just above her left armpit on her shoulder. What would cause this to happen? Is there anything we should be concerned with? Should it be removed — or will it go away on its own?

My six-month-old daughter started to have seizures. She had 3 on Thursday, 20-30 on Friday, 2 on Saturday and none since then. All she does is stop, roll her eyes to the back of her head and then cry. We are waiting on the results of an EEG. But can you give us more information on what could be happening and why?
