Home treatments for ear issues?
I wear headphones daily and earplugs at night quite often. I get the odd bit of pain in my ear and sometimes a "squelchy" noise/feeling which I think is known as swimmers ear. The ear wax can be a bit smelly too. Any good treatments for ears on the market or maybe some home remedies?

e-cigarettes
The government is going to allow e-cigarettes on the NHS from next year. I know they may help reduce the health bill for smokers' ailments , but anyone who can afford to smoke can, surely afford these aids and leave NHS money for those who really need help for illness, now.

Can anyone recommend a decent home blood pressure monitor?
As the title says really. I've been to an over 40s health check and my BP was high-ish. After a short while, they measured again and my BP was now well into the high category.

Chipped Tooth
I bit my nail this morning and chipped my tooth. It's one of the front bottom ones. You can't see anything, but I can feel that it's all rough on the inside. Doesn't hurt in the slightest, but I keep rubbing my tongue against it (not altogether sure why, but can feel an ulcer is going to appear). As it doesn't hurt, do I…

Is it possible to get the same benefit as pregnacare tablets from a combination of normal tablets to get the same vitamins?
