Q: scared of guns >please read<?

Merits respect: Guns are a national fetish in the usa. Ownership requires only the cash with no requirement for skills, background, etc. While some laws require these things, if you go to a gun show, it is open season. You are right to be respectful of guns and they are scary in this country. There are 30, 000 deaths per year from guns and 70% of the deaths are to friends/family of the gun owner.

Q: i pass out after i ride my bike?

Not normal: I would get this checked out by your physician asap. You need at least a cardiac evaluation.

Q: how do you teach kids to ride a bike?

Safety first: Insist upon a helmet each time your child is on the bike-with or without training wheels. Bikes that are too small are usually the easiest, when sitting on the seat the feet should easily reach the ground, with bent knees. On a small grassy incline, have your child lift the feet and allow the bike to slowly roll down the hill. Don't bother putting feet on the pedals until he's comfortable.

Q: what are the best books to read my baby?

Best Books for baby: Content is not as important as taking the time to sit and read to your baby. As little infants they don't care if it is war & peace or the "how to install a drain manual" - they just want to hear your voice and be by you. Later in the first year, picture books where the two of you can be interactive - "where's the dog, let's point to it, what does doggy say" are great to keep their interest.

Q: my back really hurts when i ride a bike?

Back pain: Back pain causes can be from lumbar strain, disc disease, arthritis, occukt fracture

Q: when is best to teach kids to ride a bike?

Trikes at 3...: Many children will be able to ride a tricycle at 3 years and a bike with training wheels at 4. Make sure you practice with them lots- this lets them feel comfortable with the pedaling motion and helps them to practice their balance. Bike to the park, take family bike rides- its a great outdoor activity!

Question 1

why would my dr office call and say echo is normal when the report says right ventricle dilated and rvdd at 4.7cm?had done due to chest discomfort

Accepted Answer

Factors in Echo repo: Would advise contacting the cardiology office. If the patient had a 2D echo, the accuracy relies on the technician that performed the image, the person who read/interpreted the image and the accuracy of the software used. A mere tilting/angling the transducer can make a normal RV size appear larger. As so many factors are involved, contacting their specialty clinic would be recommended.

Question 2

if the right and left ventrical of the heart are normal size, thickness and function, can the right ventrical still be dilated?  echo shows "no hemody sig aortic stenosis and rvdd 3.5. but shows norma

Accepted Answer

Either or: The question got truncated, but you are right, the ventrical size can either be normal, increased ( dilated) or smaller than average range for the given age/sex.
