It may start gradually and get worse over time or come on suddenly and sharply. But regardless of how it happens, it's important to let your doctor know about it, especially if you're a woman who is near or over age 50.
system: What are the signs of multiple spinal compression fractures?
output: Symptoms include: Height loss. Eventually, after several vertebrae have collapsed, you will look noticeably shorter. Kyphosis (curved back): When vertebrae collapse, they form a wedge shape, which makes the spine bend forward. Stomach problems: A shorter spine can compress your stomach, causing digestive problems like constipation, a weak appetite, and weight loss. Hip pain : The shorter spine brings your rib cage closer to your hipbones. If those bones are rubbing against each other, it can hurt. Breathing problems : If the spine is severely compressed, your lungs may not work properly and you can have trouble breathing.

That can take up to 2 or 3 months. Other people will still have pain after the fracture has healed. For others, the pain may turn into a chronic backache in the injured area. When you have multiple spinal compression fractures, your spine will change a lot. Part of your vertebrae may collapse because the cracks mean it can't support the weight of your spine.
system: How can alcohol affect you if you have diabetes?
output: If you have diabetes, drinking alcohol may cause your blood sugar to either rise or fall. Plus, alcohol has a lot of calories. If you drink, do it occasionally and only when your diabetes and blood sugar level are well-controlled. If you are following a calorie-controlled meal plan, one drink of alcohol should be counted as two fat exchanges. It is a good idea to check with your doctor to see if drinking alcohol is safe for you.
system: What are the effects of alcohol on diabetes?
output: Here are some other ways that alcohol can affect diabetes: While moderate amounts of alcohol may cause blood sugar to rise, excess alcohol can actually decrease your blood sugar level -- sometimes causing it to drop into dangerous levels, especially for people with type 1 diabetes. Beer and sweet wine contain carbohydrates and may raise blood sugar. Alcohol stimulates your appetite, which can cause you to overeat and may affect your blood sugar control. Alcoholic drinks often have a lot of calories, making it more difficult to lose excess weight. Alcohol may also affect your judgment or willpower, causing you to make poor food choices.

When you hurt yourself, the injury turns on pain sensors in that area. They send a message in the form of an electrical signal, which travels from nerve to nerve until it reaches your brain. Your brain processes the signal and sends out the message that you hurt. Usually the signal stops when the cause of the pain is resolved -- your body repairs the wound on your finger or your torn muscle. But with chronic pain, the nerve signals keep firing even after you've healed.
system: What are the symptoms of chronic pain?

system: What are the different types of sweeteners?
output: When you're comparing sweeteners, keep these things in mind: Sugars are naturally occurring carbohydrates. These include brown sugar, cane sugar, confectioners' sugar, fructose, honey, and molasses. They have calories and raise your blood glucose levels (the level of sugar in your blood). Reduced-calorie sweeteners are sugar alcohols. You might know these by names like isomalt, maltitol, mannitol, sorbitol, and xylitol. You'll often find them in sugar-free candy and gum. They have about half the calories of sugars and can raise your blood sugar levels, although not as much as other carbohydrates. Artificial sweeteners are considered "free foods." They were designed in a lab, have no calories, and do not raise your blood sugar levels.

system: What happens during an electrophysiology (EP) study?
output: During the EP study, your doctor will safely reproduce your heart rhythm. Then, he may give you different medicines to see which controls it best. Sometimes, one of these studies is done before you get an implantable cardioverter/defibrillator ( ICD). It can help your doctor discover which device is best for you.
system: What does an electrophysiology (EP) study do?
output: It can help find what's causing your irregular heartbeat. It also helps figure out the best treatment for you.
system: What can I expect during the electrophysiology (EP) study?
output: Your nurses and doctor will want to know about any symptoms you are feeling. If your irregular heart rhythm starts up, your doctor may give you medications through your IV to see how well they control it. If necessary, a small amount of energy may be delivered by the patches on your chest to bring back a normal rhythm. Based on the information collected during the study, the doctor may continue with something called an ablation procedure. That scars some of the tissue in your heart to restore a normal rhythm. He may also continue monitoring you with a pacemaker or ICD.
system: How should I prepare for electrophysiology (EP) study?
output: He may ask you to stop certain medications a few days beforehand. If you have diabetes, ask your doctor how you should adjust your diabetes medications. Don't eat or drink anything after midnight the evening before. If you must take medications, have them only with a small sip of water. Wear comfortable clothes to the hospital. Bring someone with you.
system: What should I expect before a electrophysiology (EP) study?
output: First, you'll lie on a bed and a nurse will start an intravenous ( IV) line into your arm or hand. You will be given a drug through your IV to relax you and make you drowsy, but it may not put you to sleep. The nurse will connect you to several monitors. Your groin will be shaved and cleansed. Sterile drapes will cover you, from your neck to your feet. A soft strap will be placed across your waist and arms to keep your hands from touching the sterile field. An electrophysiologist (a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms) will numb the skin in your groin (a few inches to the side of your genitalia) with medication. The catheters are threaded to your heart, where they'll sense the electrical activity there and evaluate your heart.
system: How big is a serving of chicken or meat?
output: Restaurant portions are often oversized, so sticking to these basic guidelines can help: One 3-ounce serving of chicken or meat is about the size of a deck of cards, and a 3-ounce serving of fish is about the size of a checkbook.
