SPOTLIGHT: Just ask Dr. Wiki
A group of Cleveland Clinic physicians have launched a new Wikipedia-style site they've dubbed "Ask Dr. Wiki." Unlike the original model, Ask Dr. Wiki includes not only text--such as clinical notes--but also multimedia content such as images, EKGs and angiograms. While the public can access the site, it's aimed at medical professionals, who are credentialed before they can post content. However, critics complain that since the founders are primarily cardiology experts, bogus information on other topics could slip by, leading to inaccurate decisions by professionals and the public.

PLEASE HELP! I AM A 38 YEAR OLD FEMALE, I DO NOT SMOKE AND AM HEALTHY, MY BP IS FINE, MY CHOLESTEROL IS FINE AND MY WEIGHT IS FINE, TOO. HOWEVER, WHEN I DRINK JUST A FEW LIGHT BEERS OR GLASSES OF WINE, I GO TO SLEEP ONLY TO BE WOKEN UP WITH A RAPID HEARTBEAT, PROBABLY IN THE LOW 100'S OR 110ISH. MY RESTING PULSE IS ALWAYS AROUND 80. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN, THE FAST HEARTBEAT? IT IS JUST FAST, NOT IRREGULAR. IT EVENTUALLY SLOWS BACK DOWN BUT CAN TAKE A FEW HOURS. PLEASE HELP ANSWER THIS, THANKS!!
I DO NOT EAT SUGARY FOODS WHEN I DRINK THE ALCOHOL, I KNOW THAT CAN CAUSE A RAPID HEARTBEAT.

I'd like to know how much omega 3 I should take
daily to lower my cholesterol. I drink 16 oz. of Acai juice every day since I can't swallow the omega 3 capsules. Is that enough or too much?
