eardrum causes a breach in the integrity of the membrane. This may be the result
of pressure, force, or insult from the exterior aspect, or it may be caused by
increased pressure within the middle ear. Symptoms may include slight pain,
partial hearing loss, or discharge/bleeding from the ear
Otitis externa - ANSWER: Infection of the outer ear (ear canal); "Swimmer's ear"
is a bacterial infection of the external auditory canal and pinna. Severe pain, a red,

right sided CHF, Erectile Dysfunction, Depression, and Daytime sleepiness.
Treatment involves the use of a CPAP machine.
Asthma (S&S and Tx) - ANSWER: Includes period episodes of severe bronchial
obstruction in those with hypersensitive or hyper-reactive airways. May be acute
(happening once) or chronic (lifetime). Inflammation, edema, increased secretions,
contraction of smooth muscle. Cough, dyspnea, wheezing, tight chest, pt unable to
