what should i be doing to treat positional vertigo. i have had it off and on for. month and 1/2.

Question

Can vertigo be treated/ cured? Symptoms last for a week or more and episodes occur every 4-6 weeks. Have had two concussions in the past, related?

Answer 1

Brandt-Daroff Exerci: If it's benign paroxysmal positional vertigo that you truly have then, you should avoid high impact types of exercises such as certain types of aerobics and martial arts events. You will need some instruction on the brandt-daroff exercises although there are also you tube videos on it. I am not a fan of Meclizine though some people (very few) get relief from it. You may need epley maneuver.

Answer 2

Yes: You need to ask your own doctor or anesthesiologist about the specific instructions, which will depend on the medications used and the timing of the surgery. But in general, it is safe to nurse after anesthesia. You may have to "pump and dump" after surgery once or twice, but the exact routine depends on the circumstances.

Answer 3

No: It would depend on the kind of anesthesia, of course, but for a great deal of them, there is a recommendation to pump and dump for at least 24 hours, and oftentimes longer. I guess the question is: how recent was the anesthesia and what kind was used? Your OB and hospital pharmacist have the safety data you need.

Answer 4

YES: There is no evidenc ethat nay anesthesic will be inconcentrations high enough to casue any child problems. The re will for sure be 1000's of times less in the child than if the child needs surgery the next day. Some anesthics 9 gasses leave your body very fast (1-2 hours).

Answer 5

Yes: But many moms "pump and dump" at least one time after anesthesia. There is evidence to support that there is no need for this but many physicians and parents are more comfortable doing it this way. Any residual drugs should be gone by then.

Answer 6

Yes: Depends on the timing. Most obstetricians will recommend to wait 12-24 hours. In mean time it is good to use pump to eliminate the residual anesthetic medications from the milk. The risk is sedative effect on the child, which should be eliminated in 24 hours. Best is to discuss with your anesthesiologist and obstetrician.

Answer 7

Yes, but: I would suggest expressing the breast milk immediately after your anesthetic and throwing it away. The anesthetic agents can make it into the breast milk and so could make it to your baby.

Answer 8

Yes: Women are usually advise to stop breastfeeding for 24 and to dispose the pump milk. Studies show that the amount of drugs at breast milk after ga are negligible and intestinal absorption of the baby are negligible too. Keep feeding your baby after surgery if you physically can.

Answer 9

With understanding: Some anesthetics pass through into the breast milk. So how long you would have to dump your breast milk depends on the "half life" of the the medications used. For most medications 24 to 48 hrs is sufficient but best to check with your anesthesiologist.

Answer 10

Usually yes...: Talk with your anesthesia provider and see if it is ok.

Answer 11

REGARDLESS, YOU : Should have a flu shot every year.

Answer 12

Confusing question: It is certainly worthwhile to get a flu shot yearly, since the strains change & the disease can be deadly. If you live in any housing setting where there are other persons involved, there will often be a flu shot requirement to protect both you, the staff and other residents. You could also live elsewhere.

Answer 13

Depends: If a patient has had surgery, they will most generally form adhesions. This is very true for women who've had cesarean delivery. If the goal is pain reduction, it may be worth have laparoscopy, but if just curious, may not be worth the risk involved having surgery.

Answer 14

Only, if painful: Adhesions form from surgery whereby intra-abdominal structures "stick to each other" like a crackerjack box with moisture in it. Unless, there is severe pain or movement is restricted, then undergoing another surgical procedure "to check for adhesions" can sometimes only cause more adhesions.

Answer 15

Probably yes: You should have had blood work to see if there is a fixable hormonal reason why you are skipping your periods. In general the pill is an excellent and safe way to regulate your periods. I recommend either asking more questions (maybe going with a list or a friend) so you understand your treatment better. It is unusual to do a D&C for a "stuck" period. Usually that can be treated with medicine.

Answer 16

Nonspecific: T wave inversion may be part of a normal ekg and has to interpreted by a doctor. Inverted t wave is normal in iii and sometimes other leads without meaning anything alarming. Have the doctor let you know what they think. The ekg interpretation can change with age as well so you need expertise to read them at this age.
