Patient discussion about pounded out.

Q. a good way or a method to shed off some pounds? Hello all, im a college student struggling with 15 to 20 extra pounds, I'm trying to shade it off, any one may say, run exercise, since I'm a soccer player it would only be obvious that i would be fit. My problem is that I hav a fracture knee and a previous dislocated right knee. Due to this i cant really excersice, so im asking for anyone out there,

A. Well, the best advice I have for you is to combine eating properly- less fat, less carbs and a 1200-1400 calories a day diet, with moderate physical activity, not like running, but for instance- swimming. a 45 minute swim 3-4 times a week with a low calorie intake diet would do the trick!

Q. Does anyone know what could make you gasp for air after you have fallen to sleep? I also have a pounding heart and I am panting and sweaty. I have a mitral valve prolapse and sinus tachycardia(which I was told was that meant )palpitations

A. if you have what i have ,that is palps i get shortness of breathe,fast heart beats, all i do is take a deep cough, and it goes away,try it if all eles fails,if this is what you have there is a surgery for it, but only in serious cases,my mother just had it done....

Q. I really hate my body. What can i do that will help me lose 10 pounds in a few weeks?

A. You should start off by changing your eating habits. Instead of fries get fruit and instead of soda go for the water. You really dont have to hit the gym that hard unless you want to. You can start off slow by walking more places. Walk to places that you normally drive to. Thats a win/win situation....you get a little exercise in and you save a little gas =] Hope this helps.
