Relax muscle spasm: Massage, acupuncture, biofeedback, and heating pad to relax the rhomboid and superior trapezius muscles. A physical therapist can set up a program for you. Swimming and yoga would be exercises to pursue.

Accepted Answer

Identify trigger : There are many reasons for cough and the treatment depends on the cause of the cough.   Severe cough may indicate a foreign body in the airway or esophagus (food tube), infection or post nasal drip.

Symptoms can include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, muffled voice, and airway obstruction (life-threatening). If you suspect epiglottitis in someone, they need to be seen at the hospital immediately.

Question 3

is acute angle closure glaucoma painful?

Accepted Answer

Very painful: Acute angle closure glaucoma is a painful and potentially blinding disease, that is responsible for about 10% of all glaucomas. It is caused by the iris (color of the eye) blocking the drain on the inside of the eyeball. This leads to sudden and severe pressure elevation, with ensuing pain and cloudy vision. If not treated promptly, it will result in permanent blindness.

Question 4

acute angle-closure glaucoma. so what's this?

Accepted Answer

Eye emergency: Symptomatic painful red eye with decreased vision, typically from pupillary block, that leads to acute angle closure with very elevated pressures and at high risk for eye damage if the attack is not broken.  The cornea gets cloudy, should be checked out right away.

Question 5

what sort of problem is acute angle closure glaucoma?

Accepted Answer

Serious: Angle closure glaucoma occurs when the distance between the cornea and the iris gets too close.  Then the fluid circulating inside the eye, the aqueous humor cannot flow out and the pressure builds up, often very suddenly, causing severe pain. The angle closure can be intermittent, so patients notice pain at night or going into a dark theater.  This is serious, see your eyemd right away.

Question 6

how common is it for somebody to get acute angle closure glaucoma?

Accepted Answer

Not very common: Angle closure glaucoma is about 10-15% of all glaucomas.

Question 7

what are the most common symptoms of acute angle closure glaucoma?

Accepted Answer

Pain, blurry vision: The most comon symptom of acute angle closure glaucoma is pain.  Blurry vision or hallows around lights at night may be the only symptoms, however.  If you think yo may have angle closure glaucoma, see an eye care professional.

Question 8

what is the definition or description of: acute angle closure glaucoma?

Accepted Answer

Short eye anatomy: Angle closure glaucoma is a rapid, usually painful, elevation in eye pressure (from < 20 to over 40 and higher) induced by forward movement of the lens. This occludes the pupil, causing the site of aqueous outflow (the iris-corneal angle) to close. The eye becomes red and painful, and vision foggy. Treatment should be prompt; extended high pressure can irreversibly damage the optic nerve.
