Question

Having chest burning.What are the remedies?

Answer 1

Heartburn: Usually if your chest burn, it could be an issue with digestion. Although whenever you have issues with your chest be sure to contact your dr to be evaluated. Usually heart problems cause chest pressure or pain right under the sternum, but not chest burning. The esophagus runs through the chest and if its irritated, it could give the feeling of burning. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Yes: Very often one breast may be more productive due to more active ducts/glands. If your breast are not the same size, the larger one may make more milk.

Answer 3

Yes: Breast milk supply is often not the same one side compared to another. This is not unusual at all.

Answer 4

No: There are no risks to breast pads, feel free to use them.

Answer 5

No: Nursing pads help you keep your clothing dry when milk leaks between feedsl. You can find disposable or re-usable pads. Change them as soon as they become moist to avoid your nipples becoming sore or infected. If they ever "stick" to your nipples try not to pull them off as you can irritate your skin, try a warm wet cloth instead.

Answer 6

No: Breast pads are not risky, if they are not allowed to build up germs such as yeast or bacteria. That means pads that don't have plastic backing may "breathe" and dry quicker, avoiding germ growth. Changing the pads frequently should help avoid germ growth also.

Answer 7

There are: no risks to using breast pads.

Answer 8

Yes: An electric double breastpump can help you pump more (may only be slightly more), but in a shorter period of time than hand-expressing or using a manual pump.

Answer 9

Yes: There are manual and electric breast pumps; electric are stronger and typically help you pump more milk. Also pumping both sides at once can help stimulate more flow. Putting the electric pump on the highest comfortable setting will produce the most milk effectively and efficiently.

Answer 10

Air bubble in chest : Pneumomediastinum or air in the chest can come from lungs, trachea or esophagus. It can happen from deep sniffing, drug abuse, and heavy exertion. I see a number of teenager with lot of air in the chest from unknown cause. Air can also come from root canal. Air bubbles can also mean infection. It may be sign of grave disease process or it may be totally benign requiring simple observation.

Answer 11

They can: Lung-trachea or esophagus those are the only air containing structures in the chest. Usually from blebs in lung, or following lung trauma or surgery is where one gets persistent pneumothorax or air leak. With some infections, the germs will generate gas bubbles but doubt that is the issue!

Answer 12

No: The size of your breasts will not increase from sexual activity.
