The TRUTH About Holding Your Pee | Responding to Comments

little jugnu is it true that keeping urine and bladder for a longer time than usual risks kidney health oh this is really good I haven't done a responding to comments video in quite a long time with culvert 19 and my recent addiction to these gaming videos I think it's time Ethan green I haven't had remembered a dream for more than eight years now absolutely no recall or memory of any dream is this a problem or doesn't matter it doesn't matter not everyone remembers their dreams in fact some people that even remember their dreams it doesn't happen to them every night it's like a natural variance amongst humans Zachary Kornfeld question the seltzer water and normal water give you the same hydration yes I think they give you the same amount of hydration I do think that seltzer water is not great for those who are suffering with reflux meaning like acid reflux because it could cause you to burp it can also cause the sphincter up here to not work well the sphincter is actually what keeps the acid in the stomach that's where you want the acid to be because when it starts coming up and refluxing back into the esophagus actually starts creating irritation that's when you get the feeling of Harper make sure that you're only drinking seltzer if you're not suffering with that type of heartburn and not too close to bedtime do you still consult a doctor when you're sick or you consult yourself our Mon great question I consult myself as well as the resources that I use for my patients like if a patient comes in with a rare condition that I'm not a hundred percent sure how to treat I do consult those same sources whether they're websites textbooks however sometimes I do go reach out for help questions so as long as I can remember my ankle has been cracking and that's every time I'm or it I think you mean you move it but check this out I don't know if you hear it my ankles crack back when I walk up the steps my friends judge me they're like dude why do you sound like you're 95 years old I'm like yeah play me a ball one on one and we'll see how many years old I am [Music] banks open on Tuesdays folks why do I feel a little heartbeat on the places I hurt like the tip of my fingers you mean like the the pulsating feeling that you feel in your fingers like when you hit them or Jam them the pulsating feeling is a lot of blood rushing to that area to clot to bring healing factors inflammatory cells it also gets warmer it gets redder those are all signs of inflammation it's how your body knows something's going on cuddle muffins does your heart stop when you sneeze sometimes when I sneeze multiple times my chest starts to hurt well first of all your heart stopped beating all the time it beats relaxes beats relaxes so if you happen to sneeze at the time it relaxes your heart's not beating that I don't know if that counts the reason you're probably experiencing chest pain when you sneeze multiple times rapidly is because when you're trying to sneeze your body's also trying to breathe and inhale your loss like expand your lungs and when you try and expand your chest those muscles are being pulled out but at the same time you're sneezing so it almost becomes like a pulled muscle in between your ribs imagine doing a curl and then all of a sudden something comes and stops you from doing it it strains the muscle and pulls it you know that was in the greatest demonstration but I tried Hannibal on my resting BPM has gone up to 160 I'm still young but I don't think this is usual is there a problem and should I go to the doctor absolutely you should go as soon as like you can the reason why I'm saying this is the resting heart rate should be 60 to 100 beats per minute anytime when you're at rest and it's going above a hundred there needs to be a physiological reason why that's happening either a you're consuming a substance that's raising your heart rate caffeine drugs standing up and you're going to exercise heavily that should that can raise your your heart rate stress anxiety can raise it but tu-160 that's a very high heart rate that signals to me that something abnormal is going on that desperately needs to be checked now Julian vlogs is having interaction with your pet such as being licked hugged kissed hugging them or kissing them is hard I was an aggressive very slow motion kiss it's probably not great advice for doctors to say that your dog should lick you because there is bacteria in his mouth probably not beneficial in the long long term and there is a potential risk but like when I cuddle with him and he kisses me oxytocin gets released and that's like a cuddle hormone it makes you feel good it lowers your stress hormone levels so I love it but medically I can't recommend this type of licking are you done John Paul Turing again how can I remove white stretch marks on my shoulders stretch marks are really difficult if not impossible to remove good way to think about them as almost like scar tissue it's literally from your skin being overly stretched and scar tissue being laid down there are a few what we call like aesthetic or plastic surgery esque procedures that can cut out these stretch marks but those come with obvious risks and you need to weigh the pros and cons for you the creams that are out there maybe they can help with the softness or the suppleness of your skin but it's not gonna make the stretch marks completely disappear surgical procedures possibly some laser procedures and then creams that's the order of efficacy going from best to worst how come when I wash my hands and then dry them they're still wet and no need to say my name did you dry them well like are you using a heavy moisturizer are you sweating if you're sweating are you nervous what are you nervous about we nervous I was gonna try and pronounce your name your hand shouldn't be wet after you dry them Karen Andrews hi dr. Mike love your content my question is whenever you cough up any phlegm is it better to spit it out or just swallow it or does it matter it doesn't really matter me personally like if it's large enough I spit it out because it's uncomfortable but if it's like a small amount feel free to swallow it you're like your body's capable of disinfecting it because your gastric contents have such a low pH meaning it's such an acidic environment kills any bacteria that will be problematic a naturopath told me once that drinking while eating discourages the enzymes to work what would you say to that please I love drinking while eating water it kind of fills up my stomach and it prevents me from overeating and it helps food travel down my esophagus and imagine we could just make our digestive enzymes not work because we had some water oh my god we would be the least effective organism on the planet humans have survived thousands of years but if water goes into our system the same time we have a big back we can't get its nutrients I went a little heavy on that sorry naturopath friends of mine little jug No is it true that keeping urine and bladder for a longer time than usual risks kidney health so let's start with explaining that the average human bladder holds 16 ounces of urine which is two couples two couples of here literally so these are eight ounces each letting your brain know when it's time to go is a really complex process so if you continuously strain your bladder you could actually cause yourself some serious problems you may retain urine after you urinate you don't have control over your urination you could potentially have an increase in urinary tract infections this isn't necessarily proven logically it makes sense that if you're keeping day you're in stagnant that bacteria has a higher chance to multiply in that area but look if you're just holding it for a few minutes hour - it's not a big deal know that your initial urge to go urinate usually happens when your bladders about half full that's a good time for you to go and urinate but if you need to wait an hour - your body can handle it is Saturday truly for the boys no Saturday is for bear he's a boy you're right it is for the boys Nico why does my anxiety cause anxiety why am i more anxious in the evenings well it's because anxiety is a vicious vicious and in fact one of the steps that we try and teach our patients to do it's not to not have anxiety because that's a very difficult thing but it's to control the thoughts you have about anxiety so if your thoughts are driving your anxiety to become worse and we address those thoughts you could potentially cut down your anxiety about your anxiety it's with CBT is cognitive behavioral therapy check it out highly recommended not just for those who suffer with anxiety but everyone on the planet I just CBT on myself quite often my question if someone wakes up in the middle of surgery what do you do I encourage them to go back to sleep with some medicine Theo filos missed questioned a sudden pain breaking your wrist increase the chances of passing out absolutely passing out from extreme anxiety stress pain even seeing your own blood all of this is a survival mechanism to not overwhelm you you could absolutely pass out from sudden pain in fact one of the hallmark signs of breaking a bone could be passing out and getting really nauseous at the same time well not at the same time because if you passed out you're not nauseous but those are two signals like I remember once I've only broken one bone in my body my left wrist I was snowboarding I thought I was really cool and I wasn't on the bunny slope and I fell and right away I got so nauseous it wasn't even painful but that nausea I knew I knew there was something wrong and when I came home my dad told me yep you broke your scaphoid just a bone in the wrist one of the most commonly broken bones in the human body I like to sing sometimes me too not very good at it my question is is it possible for someone who is partially disabled I have pots to go into med school I want to become a pathologist that is it something that has played a huge part in my life anaemia and it has always been interesting to me I think that you should absolutely follow your dreams just make sure that you're aware of what you can do and can't do so that you don't put yourself in a dangerous position or your patient in a dangerous position so for example if you know that you cannot stand for an extended period of time don't do that just to please someone else explain what you're limited in and find alternatives or find programs who all for alternatives in order for you to participate in that education no person should be withheld in education simply because they have a disability Maria who question for dr. Mike how does the lack of affection affect your health see what you did there Maria social connections late into your life play a huge role in the quality of your life and the length of your life these have to be meaningful social connections they have to be positive ones like is it beneficial to your health to get married it depends if you have a happy marriage happy marriage yes very sad abusive marriage no if your getting positive affection from your dog from your partner absolutely that's good for your health it lowers your stress hormone you get a release of oxytocin which is that cuddling hormone makes you feel good about yourself motivates you lowers your blood pressure in fact affection encourages you to do things like go outside for a walk experience new things and all of those things are good for the human mind and body my body do you know the truth about cracking your knuckles or the truth about swallowing your gum maybe what they told you isn't true click on one of these and find out oh yeah and stay happy and healthy [Music]
