Question 1

what is nerd?

Accepted Answer

Could you Mean GERD?: I'm unaware of a condition called nerd except for maybe some colleagues & it's been said about me! there's a condition called gerd gastro-esophogeal reflux deisease. With it, the muscle that keeps stomach contents from getting in the esophagus doesn't do it's job so acid flows back and causes heartburn & ultimately damage. Treatment is meds 1st then surgery if that fails. Hope this helps.

Question 2

is it possible to live near wind turbines?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I've looked at the claims that they cause ill-health in humans and animals and decided they are disinformation for people with dark agendas. The dangers of accidents, especially with today's turbines that are unlikely to sling masses of ice during winter storms, seems small. Wind-generated power seems like a good thing to most people, including those who share my concern with our planet's health.

Question 3

what visual training can fix near sightness?

Accepted Answer

None: A nearsighted eye is in fact too strong, and the logic of "visual training" is to strengthen the eye muscles which of course would make the nearsighted worse.  So in fact no visual training has been proven to help.  Don't waste your money.

Question 4

what are some ways to correct near-sightedness?

Accepted Answer

Myopia: Myopia can be addressed with refractive surgery, lens implants, contact lenses & eye glasses.

Question 5

what causes my vision to be blurry near and far?

Accepted Answer

Get examined: There are dozens of possible reasons. Some are dangerous. You should see an eye doctor.

Question 6

question about myopia00 is that near-sightedness?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Myopia is the technical term for nearsightedness - the condition in which near vision can be clear but distant vision is blurred to the extent of the degree of power needed for correction.  Your ophthalmologist can determine this for you.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

: This is the free side of HealthTap where doctors answer patient questions for free. We cannot recommend a psychiatrist near you since we don’t know any details like where you live, what insurance you have, who the doctors are near you, etc. You should call your primary care doctor for a recommendation so that you can choose a psychiatrist near you. Best of luck to you!

Question 8

is it possible to be allergic to people being near?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: There is no real evidence or studies on allergies to other people.  If you are reacting in an allergic manner to another person it is much more likely that you are reacting to animal dander from home (dog, cat) or the scent of something they put on themselves (lotion, perfume).

Question 9

what is the difference between near and far sightedness?

Accepted Answer

Diffent terminology: Near=inability to see objects in distance.
Short=attitude where the person does not consider all options.

Question 10

effects of living near high voltage transmission lines on health?

Accepted Answer

Mild if anything: After extensive testing, most scientists believe the low-level electromagnetic fields near power lines are safe.  Others continue research to look for possible health risks associated with these fields. If there are any risks such as cancer associated with living near power lines, then it is clear that those risks are small.
