Q:

Why do I need cardiac resynchronization?

A:

Your physician may suggest cardiac resynchronization if your medications are not fully treating your heart failure. In heart failure patients, the heart walls become weakened and this can make them less harmonious when the heart is pumping. The resynchronization can improve on your shortness of breath and reduce your chance of requiring hospital stays, not to mention making you feel better.

Q:

What is Rectus Diastasis during pregnancy?

A:

Rectus diastasis is a split down the center of your abdomen. The linea alba that holds the fascia together will split with an overload in the abdomen, ie: your baby growing. This can create numerous issues. When the abdomen does not have that same stability, then that changes the stability of the pelvis and of your lumbar spine.

Q:

What is the treatment for a migraine?

A:

Migraines can often be linked to a trigger, so avoiding these triggers is important in relieving your symptoms. You may find relief in laying in a quiet and dark room, and you can take acetaminophen/ibuprofen or Gravol to help with your pain and nausea. If you are experiencing migraines, and haven't spoken with your family doctor about this, you may wish to make an appointment in order to review your symptoms.
