Health: Health Problems


I suffer from migraine from time to time and I can tell you that the pain is not a joke! Sufferers can sympathize. I usually don’t take any meds for it though there is a pill that helps relieve migraine pain. According to recent reports, a migraine pill called Topamax can help not only to relieve migraine but also to stop the alcohol problem. There are already 3 drugs endorsed to help in alcohol addiction, but this Topamax is said to work in a different manner. The ingredients in the drug slow down the brain’s feel good neurotransmitters dopamine.

We all know that a lot of alcoholics find it hard to submit themselves to an institute for rehabilitation that is why a drug may be more appealing to them. But home treatment can be somewhat costly because the drug Topamax costs $350 per month.

women heart disease

Heart is attack is one of the most fatal causes of death in both men and women. Just of late, the American Heart Association or AHA has brought up to date the course of action that women should take in order to maintain the good function of their heart. Women are urged to look into the lifetime risk on their heart; in this way even at an earlier age they can adapt new plans regarding the lifestyle and diet so as to lessen their lifetime risk.

If you think that Aids, war, crime, natural disasters are likely to kill you, you're probably right!
But... a study by World Health Organization suggests that something else will kill 6.4 million people EVERY YEAR by 2015...

Oh and just in case there are some tobacco companies reading this, I apologize for using the word "smoking" as today people like to call it:
"Tobacco-Related Diseases" (TRDs)

Anorexia

A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill shows that excessive exercise is prevalent among anorexic women who vomit and use laxatives to lose weight. While it has been known that excessive exercise is linked to eating disorders, it is not known which patients are most likely to exercise to an extreme degree.

More than half of the anorexic women surveyed exercise excessively, which means that they exercise more than three hours a day. Some of them engage in extreme physical activities everyday even when sick or injured. This excessive drive to be thin endangers their health and their life as this can also lead to death. Based on this finding, researchers suggest that treatment of anorexia should be aimed at reducing anxiety and obsessive tendencies of anorexic women.

Heartburn

Have you ever felt a sudden discomfort or a burning sensation in your throat and chest usually after eating spicy and oily food? This is heartburn. It happens when digestive acid backflows from the stomach into the esophagus. Heartburn may happen to anyone, but if you frequently experience it, better ask for your doctor’s advice now because it could be due to a serious disease or disorder.

Premature Births Increasing

A report released last Thursday shows that incidents of premature births rose by 31 percent in two decades—a fact that that bothers many specialists today considering that babies born prematurely face greater health risks such as acute respiratory complications, central nervous system disorders, cerebral palsy and behavioral problems. Trends show that one out of eight babies may be born too soon—and too costly as experts estimate that every premature birth costs about $51,600.

Based on the study, if you are one of the following, you are more likely to give birth to premature babies:

A lot of people are afraid of growing old alone, but there are many, too who choose to live life in solitude and are content with living just with a pet or two; if you’re one of them, think again. A study published today shows that age and living alone are two of the greatest factors that can increase a person’s health risks, particularly one’s likelihood of suffering from acute coronary syndrome, a variety of health conditions including angina, heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest resulting to death.
