Sweating Problems

Because a freind has a body odor and excessive sweating and she already tried many products but it does’nt work out, still she experiencing the same problem. She already wanted to remove the sweat glands under his arms. Is this safe and curable?

<>The best preventative here is frequent and thorough bathing. I doubt very much that one could find a (legitimate) doctor who would remove sweat glands for that reason.

Botox injections and treatments are gaining popular through mainstream society these days. Women of all ages now use it to prevent lines, wrinkles and to enhance their appearance, and older women use it to reduce the appearance of wrinkles that may have already formed.

So, what about the negative side effects of Botox? Are there any? Even though botox has gotten some bad publicity over the years, we rarely hear anything about the negative side effects of Botox.

A Little Botox History

Way back in the 1820s, a German physician by the name of Dr. Justinus Kerner set out to find answers to the deaths of German citizens who had consumed sausage. Through is research he learned that of the many that died most had been overtaken by botulism – food poisoning. OK, so that means that one negative side effect to botox is death, although it is very rare and highly unlikely these days, but you should consult a licensed physician before undergoing any procedure.

Continuing his research, Dr. Kerner also distinguished seven different strains of botulinum toxin, naming them strains A through G. But he found that only four strains – A, B, E, and F – are life threatening to humans.

Mid-Century Development

During the mid 1950s and 60s, two other doctors, Drs. Edward J. Schantz and Vernon Brooks experimented further into botulinum toxin , using controversial animal testing techniques that could not be used today because of their cruelty and inaccurate results. Nevertheless, the two doctors found that botulinum toxin type A, despite its risk to humans, was very effective for treating people with crossed eyes and spastic vocal cords. So, ok, something that could potentially kill us can, in small doses, be helpful in relieving muscle spasms of all kinds.

The Birth of Botox

The Year is 1989, and the FDA approved botulinum toxin type A for treatment of crossed eyes and eye muscle spasms. Through a miracle of marketing genius, the botulism poison that had once killed German sausage eaters was renamed “Botox” and treatments took off like wildfire. Through further experimentation it was found that Botox also temporarily cured excessive sweating and some symptoms of cerebral palsy. After the botox treatments, patients were monitored closely for any negative side effects of Botox treatments.

A breakthrough in keeping us looking younger was on the horizon. In the 1990s, Dr. Jean Carruthers noticed that many of the patients being treated with Botox were surprisingly wrinkle-free. Using this information, Dr. Carruthers and her husband, a dermatologist, conducted various clinical studies that confirmed the ability of Botox to reduce frown lines and wrinkles on the human face.

Botox Now

Today, Botox is so widely accepted that you can go to a botox party and have your lips injected right on the spot. The fear of negative side effects is almost none existent. So much so that Botox Sales in 2006 exceeded $1 billion. Starting out as a deadly poison killer Botox has quickly transformed itself into a successful cosmetic treatment that helps millions of people look younger everyday.

Botox also remains a staple for non-cosmetic treatments, like reducing muscle spasms in cerebral palsy patients, uncrossing eyes, and relieving patients of embarrassing facial twitches and spasms. Botox treatments are not permanent and must be repeated every three to six months. Most patients are so pleased with the results that they ave no problem returning to the doctor regularly for scheduled treatments. The early fears of botox no longer prevail and although there are a low number of cases each year that result from negative side effects of botox, it is clear that botox is here to stay.

I read somewhere that magnesium supplements stop excessive sweating. Do they really? If they do, which brand in particular work? If they don’t, what does work? I’ve tried Certain Dri and the prescription strength regular antiperspirants such as Secret. Also, Mitchum doesn’t work for me. I’ve tried baking soda and baby powder. If the problem persists, i may see a doctor, but i really want to find a cure on my own first. Any ideas? Thank you.

They do relieve sweating, but i have to say, that’s a pretty abrasive solution. Do you really want to oversupplement your body with magnesium?

side effects can include:
-diarrhea
-nausea
-abdominal cramping
-heart problems
-breathing difficulty

and a whole host of other nasties. You’re waaay better off going a more natural route for your excessive sweating.

Try taking Sage Tea supplements. Sage tea has an astringent in it that is proven to prevent sweating. If the sweating occurs locally in your hands and feet, you can try the sage tea solutions shown here:

Best of Luck!

I am a boy of 17 and I have the problem of excessive sweating near underarms which embarrasses me a lot . some one suggested me to remove underarm hair and apply and anti perspirant so will this stop underarm wetness…?

Antiperspirant works even if you have armpit hair.

What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder in which the inner lining of the respiratory tract becomes inflamed. Alternatively it could be blocked with a layer of mucus or could become constricted due to some other reason. All these factors could lead to severe problems in respiration, which could even result in death of the person.

Though asthma is a chronic disorder, it does not manifest itself all the time. It is exacerbated by certain triggers, which can lead to the bouts of respiratory problems, known as asthmatic attacks. During an asthmatic attack, there is severe difficulty in breathing, characterized by wheezing, gasping, shortness of breath and inability of speech. Generally an attack does not last more than a few minutes. However, a severe attack could kill within those few moments the attack lasts.

Why is Asthma caused?

The exact cause of asthma is not known. But in asthmatic people, the attacks are caused due to some environmental factors to which they are allergic. There are many allergenic factors in the environment such as dust, hair, pollen, lint, smoke, cigarette smoke, perfumes, deodorants and many others. When such an allergen is present in the environment of the person whose respiratory tract is inflamed, the person develops a violent reaction. This is known as an asthmatic attack.

However why some people are allergic to some substances is not known. The same substance can have widely different responses in different people. Even with the same allergen, there could be different levels of responsiveness in different people.

It is being strongly suggested nowadays that allergies develop due to genetic factors. For example, if the father is allergic to chalk powder, then there is a strong possibility that the child will be allergic to the same substance also. Again, it is not clear why in some people the respiratory tracts get inflamed.

What are the Symptoms of Asthma?

When a person is going to get the attack, one or more of the following symptoms can be observed:-

When the attack comes on, the following characteristics are observed:-

How can Asthma be avoided?

Asthma is a chronic condition; there is no cure for it. Hence the only ‘treatment’ for an asthmatic attack will be to identify the allergenic factor and completely eliminate it from the surroundings of the person. Often it is difficult to find out which the allergen is; but with careful observation, it can be found out.

People living with an asthmatic patient should also take due care that the allergen is not introduced in the proximity of the person. Generally with the allergen eliminated from the surroundings, asthmatic patients can lead a normal life.

One more point is to keep a bronchodilator always at hand. This is a pump-like device which pumps air forcibly into the respiratory tract, thereby reducing the constriction. Also the bronchodilator must always be full – negligence could make all the difference between life and death to a patient.

How can Asthma be controlled with Simple Home Remedies?

Many traditional recipes have been used over the ages to keep asthma at bay. Though not clinically proven, these recipes have been indeed effective in prolonging the lives of asthmatic persons. Some of these recipes are given below:-

Generalized anxiety disorder is one of the common anxiety disorders. There is relief for sufferers. Anxiety disorders are the term covering several different forms of abnormal, pathological anxiety, fear, phobia and nervous condition, which may come on all of a sudden or gradually, over a period of several years and may impair or prevent the pursuing of normal daily routines.

The essential characteristic of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is excessive uncontrollable worry about everyday things. This constant worry affects daily functioning and can cause physical symptoms. GAD is usually difficult to diagnose for it lacks some of the dramatic symptoms, like unprovoked panic attacks, that are seen with other anxiety disorders. To be able to diagnose Generalized Anxiety Disorder, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Symptoms must be present more days than not for at least 6 months.

The diagnostic criteria for Generalized Anxiety Disorder symptoms are:

Excessive anxiety and worry (apprehension), occurring more days than not for a period of at least 6 months, about numerous events or activities.

The person with GAD finds it hard to control the worry.
The anxiety and worry are associated with three or more of the following six symptoms, with at least some symptoms are present for more than 6 months in most days than not (at least one is required for children):

restlessness or feeling tense or on the edge;
easily fatigued;
difficulty concentrating or mind going blank;
irritability;
muscle tension and muscle aches;
difficulty falling or staying asleep, or restless;
unsatisfying sleep;
difficulty swallowing;
trembling, sweating;
nausea, light-headedness;
feeling out of breath

The focus of anxiety and worry is not limited to, or the anxiety or worry is not about having a panic attack, being embarrassed in the public, being contaminated, gaining weight, having multiple physical complaints, or having a serious illness, and the anxiety, and worry do not occur exclusively during post traumatic disorder.

The anxiety, worry, or physical symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of everyday activities.

The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effect of substance, such as alcohol and drug abuse, or medical condition, and does not occur exclusively during a mood disorder, a psychotic disorder, or a pervasive developmental disorder.

When the anxiety level of people with GAD is mild, they can still function socially and keep a job. Even if they don’t avoid certain situations as a result of their disorder, they may have difficulty doing the simplest daily activities if there anxiety is severe. The disorder comes on gradually and can begin at any age, but the risk is highest between childhood and middle age.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder is commonly treated with medication or cognitive-behavioral therapy. Several drugs are used to treat anxiety disorders and these include: benzodiazepines and antidepressants, and Quetiapine.

How to stop excessive sweating? What are the medical causes of excessive sweating? I have been sweating a lot lately especially my underarms. Are there any home remedies for excessive sweating? I don’t want to take drugs for it

The cause of excess sweating is often unknown. Most people will naturally sweat more than others. If you noticed that you sweat more than usual you should see medical advice because excess sweating can be caused by a medical problem.

Keep an eye on your diet. Hot foods and coffee can be to blame. Smoking also does not help.

I used to sweat myself all the time and could not stop excessive sweating until I found this http://dwarfurl.com/62437 It did take me slightly longer than 2 weeks but it was well worth it. The method is very simple and it works. Good luck!

The purpose of this article is to bring to the reader various heart disease symptoms. Each set of symptoms is related to the condition being suffered.

Heart disease can produce a number of different symptoms depending on which kind of heart disease a person is afflicted by. As well, the severity of your heart condition plays a role as well. It is important to be aware of what the symptoms of heart disease are and to take action as soon as you recognize them in yourself or another person.

The most commonly noted coronary heart disease symptoms include angina (an uncomfortable, feeling of pressure or squeezing in the heart), shortness of breath, a quickening heartbeat, palpitations, dizziness or weakness, sweating and nauseas.

The symptoms of a heart attack (otherwise known as myocardial infarction or simply MI) include pain in the chest area or the arm or the area below the breastbone, or else a feeling of discomfort, heaviness or pressure; discomfort that is in the back and continues up into the jaw area, throat or arm; a feeling of fullness, or choking that might mimic heartburn; dizziness, vomiting, sweating and/or a feeling of nausea; shortness of breath accompanied by a strong sense of weakness; and rapid or irregular beats of the heart.

The most common symptoms of arrhythmias include fatigue or weakness; shortness of breath; discomfort in the chest area; fainting; dizziness or a feeling of being lightheaded; a feeling of your heart pounding in your chest and palpitations (or skipped heartbeats). One form of arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF) and the most noted symptoms of this heart condition include a lack of energy or feeling of extreme fatigue; feeling faint; discomfort, pain or pressure in the chest area; heart palpitations and shortness of breath.

The most common symptoms of heart valve disease include dizziness; shortness of breath; pressure or discomfort in the chest area; and palpitations. If heart valve disease is left untreated and leads to heart failure then the ankles, abdomen or feet may swell and the person might notice a rapid weight gain (sometimes as much as one to two pounds per day).

When it comes to heart failure, the symptoms include shortness of breath when a person is being active or in some cases, when their body is at rest; rapid weight gain; dizziness; weakness or excessive tiredness; a cough that produces white mucus; swelling in the areas of the belly, ankles or legs; nausea; pain and pressure in the chest area; heart palpitations; and finally either a rapid or an irregular heartbeat.

The symptoms of congenital heart disease when diagnosed in babies and children include fast breathing; poor feeding; an inability to put on weight; constant infections of the lungs; cyanosis (which is a bluish tint that appears on the lips, fingernails and skin) and the inability to exercise for any length of time. When this disease is diagnosed in childhood or adulthood it may show some or all of the below symptoms or in some case, no symptoms at all. These symptoms include a shortness of breath, a limited ability to engage in physical activity and the symptoms of heart failure or heart valve disease.

The symptoms of cardiomyopathy include pain or pressure in the chest; swelling in the legs, ankles or feet, fainting, extreme fatigue, palpitations and the symptoms of heart failure. Pericarditis will show the symptoms of pain in the chest, a quickening heart rate and a low-grade fever.

I sweat a lot most especially on my face..its very visible and it takes a long time for the sweat to stop..i think i have hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)..wat should i do? is there anything i can do with thiz?..its making my life miserable? its very humiliating…i get low self-esteem bcoz of thiz..help!

You may have what is called Hyperhidrosis. This is a condition involving excessive sweating of the hands, face, underarms, and feet. Hyperhidrosis is very common, occurring up to 1% of the population. The control is by the sympathetic nervous system. In the case of Hyperhidrosis, the sympathetic nerves are unpredictable and completely uncontrollable.
In most cases, medical treatment only alleviates symptoms generated by mild forms of hyperhidrosis. Some of the treatments include, astringents, talc/starch, sedatives, antihistamines, anticholinergics and beta blockers. More aggressive therapies include: liposuction, botulinum toxin and iontophoresis. They all have been applied ranging degrees of success. However affected patients with severe forms of hyperhidrosis require to Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy cure their symptoms.
