Question

I am a 48 year old female with hypotension and postural hypotension. Are there any precautions I should take when having sex with my husband?

Answer 1

Osteoporosis?: Sounds like you may be developing kyphosis (commonly called a widow's hump) which results from osteoporosis of the thoracic area of the spine (and most likely elsewhere. You should see your doc to check your calcium levels as well as schedule a bone density test (dexa scan). Dairy products, green leafy veggies, calcium supplements (citrate is absorbed best) + vit d3, and exercise help—>.

Answer 2

Self-correct: At your age, it is more likely a habit than destiny. You need to practice / emphasize standing up fully and not "slouching" forward, as can lose vertebral height over time. Chiropractor or physical therapist can often help if not succeeding with self-correction.

Answer 3

Yes: This is a form of temper tantrum and is best ignored after making sure your child is not in a position to hurt herself. Do not try to appease her by giving her what she wants or trying to not upset her. She is smart and will learn to manipulate you if allowed.

Answer 4

Yes: In early infancy the first muscles baby controls include those of head lifting & turning. In addition thighs may flex and elbows often come in. Whether this is a reaction of displeasure, response to heartburn, gas or cramps it is more or less what an infant can do. As they mature their muscle control will allow different fittting behavior, although some continue to arch out of habit.

Answer 5

Yes: It usually means you have a positve antibody titer to the rubella virus, suggesting you have immunity.

Answer 6

No,indicates imunit: A positive test for rubella immunity indicates your body has been exposed to wild rubella or the rubella vaccine & developed protective antibodies to it. If you are female, it means you will not pass rubella to your fetus if u are exposed to the illness during pregnancy & get the disease.

Answer 7

It means...: That you are immune to rubella.

Answer 8

YES: If your rubella igg serology (which they probably checked) was positive this indicates immunity and that is a good thing. If you are igg negative, your should get the rubella immunization when you are no longer pregnant.

Answer 9

Yoga: Yoga, Pilates are both excellent.

Answer 10

Posture exercises: Sit ups, slide planks, and supermans are excellent to start with. Good posture takes an effort all day to sit up as the muscles require endurance to help maintain good posture.

Answer 11

Depends: It depends on the surgery and the type of exercise, but generally, once the surgical site is healed and any muscle or joint issues have been rehabilitated, you can return to full exercise. Talk with your surgeon for more specifics. Some types of exercise, not involving the surgical site, can often be started right away. Eg. Cv conditioning can be maintained with a hand bike after knee surgery.

Answer 12

Depends on the surg: Depends on the surgery. You need to clear this with your doctor's office. They have your specific information.

Answer 13

Do core work: You may want to alter your workouts to incorporate more core stabilization routines and try more cross training. Avoiding certain workouts may help like rowing and , heavy weight lifting especially squats and deadlifts as well concentrating on less weight with increased reps.
