Patient discussion about congestive.

Q. I have a nostral congestion Problem. How can I can get rid of It? Normally, I am always suffering from nostral congestion problem. Normally it happens when i expose to a cold air, moisture, some strong smell and ecetra.

A. I have this problem also. I discovered the best invention in the world...It's called a neti pot. You fill it with warm salt water and pour it down one nostril and it comes out the other side flushing all irritants and mucus away. I was very skeptical when I was introduced to this but it does work. No more sinus infections no more dry cough and constant sneezing. It's worth a shot. You can buy them on the web just Google it. They aern't that expensive and it saved me a bundle in Dr. bills,

Q. What Is the Treatment for Congestive Heart Failure? My mother is 76 years ols and has been suffering from a heart disease for many years. Lately she has developed congestive heart failure. How is this situation treated?

A. The treatment of CHF focuses on treating the symptoms and signs of CHF and preventing the progression of disease. If there is a reversible cause of the heart failure (an infection, alcohol consumption, anemia, arrhythmia, or hypertension), that should be addressed as well. Treatments include exercise, eating healthy foods, reduction in salty foods, and abstinence from smoking and drinking alcohol.

Q. what is "pulmonary edema" and what are the risks? my Dr. told me I'm in a risk group for pulmonary edema, he tried to explain what it is but i didn't understand fully...if someone may give me a brief explanation- I'll appreciate it!

A. pulmonary edema occurs when, lets say, your heart left ventricle stops working properly and your right ventricle works fine. that means your lungs getting lets presume- 1 liter of blood -but your left ventricle can pump out of it only 990 ml. that means you have high blood pressure in your lungs and fluid comes out of blood vessels and fills your lungs, making it harder and harder breathing.
