Is asthma a gene disorder?
No, it is not, this is a disease that attacks the lungs and breathing passages, so people have a terrible time breathing , they need puffers to open up the breathing tubes,this has nothing to do with genes, if children get this, sometimes they can outgrow this by the time they reach their teens, and sometimes sad to say adults may have it for the rest of their lives, but there are so many medications out now , that people do not have to suffer as much as it was years ago.

Why is there pain with carbon dioxide in a tubal ligation?
A blast of carbon dioxide is used to check whether a tube or tubes are open. The technician can tell by the degree of backpressure whether one, both, or none of the tubes are open or blocked. If the tubes are both blocked, no carbon dioxide will get through to the abdominal cavity. If one or both tubes are open, the carbon dioxide will enter the abdominal cavity, and when you sit up, it will cause pressure on the diaphragm (the muscle below the lungs that makes the lungs fill and empty), which causes a stab of back pain. Carbon dioxide is used because it is quickly and harmlessly absorbed by the body tissues.

What causes breathing problems after open heart surgery?
Well, just coming out of open heart surgery myself five weeks ago, I can tell you a little bit about breathing porblems from it. In my case, I was on the heart/lung bypass machine for quite a while and on and off it twice. Basically, while doctors are performing the surgery on you, you are hooked up to machines that breath and pump blood for you(and oxygate that blood) so they can work on the heart at rest. While these machines are doing this for you, your own heart and lungs are not doing anything, which can lead to problems when they try to get them to start working again on their own. Usually everything goes well, but in my case, I had a collapsed lung for several days and had a very hard time breathing after surgery. It did eventually start working properly with my breathing exercises(spirometer), but I still have some fluid in the lungs five weeks later and am still having to use the spirometer and take diueretics to help get rid of the excess fluid. Your lungs are not designed to sit still and not work. They start to build up fluid in the lungs and can even collapse in the time they are not working like mine did. That's why they try to take patients off the heart lung bypass machine and remove the breathing tubes as soon as they can after surgery these days. Hospitals that do this have MUCH fewer complications and problems after surgery compared to those that don't. I didn't have much choice in my case as my surgery was very long and complicated. I did have the breathing tubes removed right away though after surgery and they even had me sitting up and in a chair that evening.
