The famous Greek physician Galen in the 2nd century AD had already named nightmares Ephialtes . The idea of an incubus as a causative factor in nightmares stemmed from the belief that some spirit or ghostly person crept in during the night and lay upon the sleeper, so as to constrict the chest and breathing leading to a sense of suffocation, side by side with a terrifying dream of being either crushed or in the case of a woman sexually violated by the male incubus or ephialtes. Sleepers thus set upon feel they are about to die but as Bond who was himself prone to nightmares stated As soon as they shake of that vast oppression, they are affected with a strong palpitation, great anxiety, languour, and uneasiness &ndash which symptoms gradually abate, and are succeeded by the pleasing reflection of having escaped such imminent danger p. 3 .

Image Pink pills for pale people.png thumb 215px Advertisement for Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People was a late 19th to early 20th century patent medicine containing iron oxide and magnesium sulfate . http www.kshs.org cool3 pinkpills.htm It was produced by Dr. Williams Medicine Company, the trading arm of G. T. Fulford & Company . It was claimed to cure Chorea disease chorea , referenced frequently in newspaper headlines as St. Vitus Dance, as well as locomotor ataxia , partial paralyxia, seistica, neuralgia rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, and all forms of weakness in male or female. History In 1890, G. T. Fulford & Company obtained the rights to produce Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and began marketing it through Dr. Williams Medicine Company. Reverend Enoch Hill of M.E. Church of Grand Junction in Iowa, endorsed the product in many 1900s advertisements, saying that it energized him and cured his chronic headaches. Eventually, the product came to be advertised around the world in 82 countries, including its native Canada , the United States , and the United Kingdom . In the early 1890s, the publicity for the product was written by John MacKenzie mayor John MacKenzie . In 1892, he was made manager of the medicine company, and held that position until his retirement in 1929. When George Taylor Fulford, Sr. , the Canadian senator that founded G. T. Fulford & Company, died in 1905 in an automobile accident, George Taylor Fulford II became involved in the family business.

This is opposed to coronary artery disease , which is disease of the blood vessels of the heart. While coronary artery disease can cause Angina pectoris angina chest pain or myocardial infarction heart attack , heart block can cause lightheadedness, syncope fainting , and palpitation s. Types of heart block A heart block can be a blockage at any level of the electrical conduction system of the heart . Blocks that occur within the sinoatrial node SA node are described as SA nodal blocks . Blocks that occur within the atrioventricular node AV node are described as AV nodal block s. Blocks that occur below the AV node are known as infra Hisian blocks named after the bundle of His . Blocks that occur within the left or right bundle branches are known as bundle branch blocks. Blocks that occur within the fascicles of the left bundle branch are known as hemiblocks. Clinically speaking, most of the important heart blocks are AV nodal blocks and infra Hisian blocks. Types of SA nodal blocks The SA nodal blocks rarely give symptoms. This is because if an individual had complete block at this level of the conduction system which is uncommon , the secondary pacemaker of the heart would be at the AV node, which would fire at 40 to 60 beats a minute, which is enough to retain consciousness in the resting state.

wiktionary palpation wiktionary palpable Palpation is used as part of a physical examination in which an object is felt usually with the hands of a healthcare practitioner to determine its size, shape, firmness, or location. Palpation should not be confused with palpitation , which is an awareness of the beating of the heart. Uses File Child examined by doctor.jpg thumb Palpation of a child s abdomen Palpation is used by various therapists such as medical doctors , practitioners of chiropractic , osteopathic medicine , physical therapists , occupational therapists , and massage massage therapists , to assess the texture of a patient s tissue such as swelling or muscle tone , to locate the spatial coordinates of particular anatomical landmarks e.g., to assess range and quality of joint motion , and assess tenderness through tissue deformation e.g. provoking pain with pressure or stretching . In summary, palpation might be used either to determine painful areas and to qualify pain felt by patients, or to locate three dimensional coordinates of anatomical landmarks to quantify some aspects of the palpated subject. Palpation is typically used for Chest thoracic and human abdomen abdominal examinations, but can also be used to diagnose edema and to measure the pulse . It is used by veterinarians to check animals for pregnancy , and by midwifery midwives to determine the position of a fetus . Quantitative palpation of anatomical landmarks for measurements must occur according strict protocols if one wishes to achieve reproducible measurements. Palpation protocols are usually based on well described definitions for the location of anatomical, usually skeletal, landmarks. Locating anatomical landmarks Locating anatomical landmarks can be performed using two palpation protocols 1 manual palpation that allows spatial location of landmarks using hands combined or not with three dimensional 3D digitizing, and 2 virtual palpation on 3D computer models obtained, for example, from ... more details
