Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (ฺBPPV)
Vertigo from Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) Vertigo vs. Dizziness Vertigo: The sensation that either oneself or the environment is spinning. Dizziness: A feeling of lightheadedness or unsteadiness, without the sensation of spinning. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) BPPV is the most common cause of dizziness in patients with ear-related issues. Patients often experience sudden episodes of vertigo, which are triggered by certain head movements or positions. It can occur at any age but is more common in older adults and is found more frequently in women than men (2:1 ratio). Symptoms of BPPV: Sudden episodes of vertigo, usually lasting less than 1 minute, though dizziness may persist afterward. Symptoms are often triggered by specific movements, such as getting out of bed or lying back to have hair washed. Hearing is usually normal unless there is a pre-existing hearing impairment. No other central nervous system abnormalities are present, such as limb weakness, facial drooping, or loss of consciousness. Causes of BPPV: Most cases occur without a known cause. Potential contributing factors include head trauma, certain ear diseases, or ear surgery. Other factors suggested by research that may contribute include hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, vitamin D deficiency, and sleep apnea. Treatment of BPPV: Some patients may recover without treatment. Physical therapy is the primary treatment, with approximately 80% of patients improving after the first session. There is no specific medication for BPPV, but doctors may prescribe temporary medications to alleviate dizziness. Prognosis and Self-Care: Patients can usually resume normal activities after treatment. Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled about one month after treatment. There is a 15-20% chance of recurrence each year. Since the exact cause is unknown, there is currently no way to prevent BPPV.

Plantar fasciitis
Foot Pain with Your First Step in the Morning? Plantar Fasciitis! Inflammation of the Plantar Fascia! Many people have experienced this situation at some point. The plantar fascia is a thin band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot from the heel to the front of the foot. Plantar Fasciitis occurs due to the degeneration and stiffness of the plantar fascia. Simply put, the fascia loses its flexibility. When walking and putting weight on the foot, small tears occur repeatedly (repetitive trauma) every day. This reduces the strength of the fascia and leads to inflammation. Symptoms: The pain is often felt in the heel with the first step after getting out of bed or after sitting for a long time. The pain usually decreases with continued walking, with the first step being the most painful. Pain can also be felt along the inside of the foot in the area of the plantar fascia and can be associated with Achilles tendonitis. Risk Factors: Middle age (40-60 years) Overweight Prolonged standing or walking History of wearing high heels, hard-soled shoes, or walking barefoot at home Tight calf muscles, tight Achilles tendons, flat feet Initial Treatments: Consult a rehabilitation physician for advice, to identify causes, and to avoid and correct risk factors. For example, wearing shoes at home to reduce impact and prevent direct contact with hard floors. Use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) if there are no contraindications. Stretching the plantar fascia, Achilles tendon, and calf muscles is crucial for lasting recovery. Emphasize stretching before taking the first step in the morning or after prolonged sitting. Stretching should not be painful, only a gentle pulling sensation. Shockwave therapy administered by a rehabilitation physician can stimulate micro-injuries to promote the body’s natural healing processes. Use medial arch supports to reduce pressure on the heel. Steroid injections are less popular nowadays due to the pain during injection and the long recovery time. Source : Golden Jubilee Medical Center แชร์
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a condition where the cornea or lens of the eye is unevenly curved, resulting in blurred vision at both near and far distances, even when wearing appropriate glasses. Currently, advanced eye measurement technology allows for accurate detection and correction of astigmatism. One common misconception about vision abnormalities is that sleeping on one’s side causes astigmatism. However, eye care specialists confirm that sleeping on your side does not directly cause astigmatism. The main causes of astigmatism include: Genetics: Individuals with family members who have astigmatism are at higher risk of developing the condition. Irregularities in the cornea or lens: Uneven curvature or thickness in different areas. Other conditions: Such as cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetes. Currently, there is no research that confirms a link between sleeping on one’s side and astigmatism. Therefore, side sleeping is not a cause of astigmatism. The effects of astigmatism include blurry or distorted vision, eye strain, headaches, and difficulty seeing clearly, especially at night, which can be dangerous for driving. Appropriate Sleeping Positions for Eye Health Although side sleeping does not affect astigmatism, proper sleeping positions can impact eye health, especially for those who wear contact lenses: Sleeping on your back: This position is beneficial for eye and facial health as it does not put pressure on the eyes, promotes good blood circulation, and prevents wrinkles. Side sleeping: Alternating sides is recommended to avoid prolonged pressure on one eye. Avoid sleeping on your arm as it may restrict blood flow. It is best to avoid sleeping on your stomach, as this position can put pressure on the eyes, face, and neck. Eye Health Care Tips Get regular eye exams at least twice a year. Take regular breaks from activities that strain your eyes, especially when staring at screens. Eat foods beneficial for eye health, such as fruits and vegetables. Avoid touching your eyes with unclean hands. Wear sunglasses when outdoors. In conclusion, side sleeping does not cause astigmatism. Astigmatism results from genetics, irregularities in the cornea or lens, and other conditions. Contact lens wearers should choose appropriate sleeping positions to avoid eye irritation and maintain regular eye care for clear vision. Source: Thai Health Promotion Foundation แชร์
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition where bone density decreases, making bones weak and more prone to fractures. This disease is commonly found in the elderly, especially in women after menopause. Although it has no clear symptoms in its early stages, early detection and treatment can help reduce risks and impacts. Causes and Risk Factors Osteoporosis occurs when bone loss happens faster than the body can create new bone. Significant risk factors include: Age: Bone density decreases with age. Gender: Women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men. Hormones: Decrease in estrogen in women and testosterone in men. Calcium Deficiency: Insufficient calcium intake weakens bones. Family History: If family members have osteoporosis, the likelihood of developing the disease is higher. Lifestyle: Smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, and insufficient intake of calcium and vitamin D. Symptoms of Osteoporosis Osteoporosis usually has no clear symptoms in its early stages, but as the disease progresses, symptoms may include: Back pain from a fractured or collapsed vertebra. Loss of height over time due to vertebral compression. Bones that break more easily than expected, particularly in the hip, wrist, or spine. Diagnosis Osteoporosis can be diagnosed through a Bone Mineral Density Test (DXA scan), which is painless and quick. Prevention and Treatment While osteoporosis cannot be cured, it can be prevented and managed through: Diet: Consume foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, such as milk, salmon, leafy greens, and eggs. Exercise: Engage in low-impact exercises like walking, running, or weight training to strengthen bones. Lifestyle Changes: Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Medication: Use medications that increase bone density as prescribed by a doctor. Conclusion Osteoporosis requires ongoing attention and care. Early prevention and treatment can help reduce the risk of fractures and improve quality of life. If you are at risk or concerned about osteoporosis, consult a doctor for appropriate advice and care. แชร์
