Q:

Can exercise effect breast milk?

A:

One of the myths out there is that exercise can actually impact the taste of your breast milk, as well as the amount of breast milk you produce.

No studies have actually been able to support that. If you keep yourself well hydrated and drink a lot of water during your exercise program, there is absolutely no change in the taste of your breast milk or how much you produce

Q:

What medications are used for chronic pain?

A:

There are a few classes of drugs used to treat chronic pain. One of them is analgesics, to provide pain relief. These range from acetaminophen all the way up to heavier pain control agents. Some antidepressants are useful in relieving chronic pain, and anticonvulsants may be used to treat nerve-related pain. Finally, a class of medications called cannabinoids, which may include medicinal marijuana, is sometimes used to control pain. You should speak with your doctor if you have questions about your pain management plan.

Q:

Atrial Fibrillation and Cardiac Rehab Exercise Programs

A:

Cardiac rehab is not just for patients that have undergone any cardiac event, either a heart attack or bypass surgery. We are now referring a lot of patients to cardiac rehab to increase their exercise tolerance, keep them active, and not just sitting on the couch doing nothing because that’s poor for their overall health, their overall cardiovascular health.

So cardiac rehab exercise programs are great for patients with atrial fibrillation.
