210 Questions

If your heart hurts what could be the matter with it?

Are you sure your 'heart' is what is hurting? There are a lot of 'body parts' in the area of your heart. How long have you had this 'hurting' feeling? It could be:

  • indigestion. acid reflux or 'heartburn'
  • Stomach ulcers
  • Gall bladder problems
  • Chest pain or inflammation from previous injuries to your chest,
  • Muscle pains in your chest (over exercising or heavy lifting),
  • Nerve damage from your arms or shoulders (as in carpal tunnel syndrome or shoulder strains)

You could have problems with your heart, but you'll need to see a doctor who'd need to perfom several tests. {Heart attacks are usually accompanied by severe pain felt in the left arm, travelling up to your jaw as if you had a bad toothache, as well as shortness of breath and sweating. Women don't always show all of these symptoms (sometimes only having toothache-like symtopms) and are usually considered to only have digestive problems. An EKG test is necessary to find out if the person has had a heart attack}. SEE A DOCTOR!

What is pscychogenic?

This can include mental health issues that manifest as physical symptoms, such as pain or dysfunction, without a clear medical explanation. Psychogenic disorders often involve emotional or psychological stressors that influence an individual’s physical well-being. Treatment typically involves psychological therapies and support to address the underlying mental health issues.

Is spondylolisthesis of the spine a serious problem?

Yes, spondylolisthesis of the spine is always considered a serious problem. This is true because spondylolisthesis by definition is a problem of instability and misalignment, and as such always has the potential to suddenly worsen.

Spondylolisthesis the forward movement or slippage of one spinal bone (vertebra) in relation to the position of the vertebra that is immediately below it. The forward movement is theoretically possible in any area of the spine, but is more common in cervical spine (neck) and the lower spine (low back). Spondylolisthesis occurs either as a result of weakness of the structure of a spinal bone when a part (pars interarticularis) is not formed correctly, or as a result of violent trauma to the spine that causes fracture of the spinal bone that allows for this abnormal movement.

This abnormal alignment problem can at times be minimal and hard to detect even with careful measurement, and at other times the amount of forward movement can be considerable in which the two vertebrae almost lose contact from each other.

Any degree of forward movement in a case of spondylolisthesis represents instability to the spinal column where it occurs and thus a serious threat to the spinal cord, as well as cause pain and reduced spinal movement.

Pain is the first symptom that alerts to a developing spondylolisthesis, sometimes mild and occasional, or sometimes constant and severe. Even if a spondylolisthesis causes slight pain or even no pain, it should be considered serious because every case of forward slippage of a vertebra has the potential to suddenly become worse as a result of a sudden fall, automobile accident or simply the advancement of the spinal spondylosis (aging of the spine).

How do you heal a minor quad tear I hurt it playing soccer and eveytime I kick the ball there is a shooting pain Can I attempt to play through this or can I hurt it further?

I practiced outpatient orthopedic PT for 10 years. You shouldn't play through this if it is recurring. Every time you feel the sharp pain you are probably re-straining the muscle tissue causing inflammation and pain...which increases your overall healing time. Chronic strain to muscle tissue can cause significant scarring and predispose you to future injury in the same muscle. I would recommend avoiding ANY activity that causes the sharp pain for 7-10 days. Do PAIN-FREE quad stretches and EASE into kicking by starting with easy passing and NO shots or long balls. You should have NO pain with these activities. At 2 weeks start with longer passing and eventually easy shots on goal. If you re-injure the muscle, rest, and apply ice for 20min 2-3/day for 24-48 hrs. Then start with the stretches and process listed above. Best of luck.

What are three supplements that stop lactic acid?

Three supplements that may help reduce lactic acid buildup include beta-alanine, which can enhance muscle endurance and reduce fatigue; sodium bicarbonate, which helps buffer acidity in the muscles and may improve performance; and L-carnitine, which is believed to aid in energy production and reduce lactic acid accumulation during intense exercise. However, individual responses can vary, and it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen.

Is it smart to flex your abs if you're about to get stabbed and why or why not?

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT FLEX YOUR ABS IF YOUR ABOUT TO GET STABBED!

If anything, flex your brain, flex your feet, flex your reflexes... either way, don't stand there and wait to get stabbed. MOVE!

You hear stories about people that fell asleep at the wheel and got into a car accident only to receive minor wounds. Or, babies that fell 3 stories only to get scratches. All of these cases the person was in a relaxed state. They were not tense. So if by some chance you could not avoid getting stabbed I would say that it might be best to be in a metaphysical relaxed state. Only Monks that have trained 10,000 years would be able to pull that off.

You are having an allergic reaction. Start with antihistamines. Get them at the drugstore (Chemist in England). If the home remedy does not work, then you will need to go to someone who knows what they are doing.
