00:00 Meanwhile, here is our health and wellness doctor, Dr. Oye Balburias

00:05 to answer your questions on our Facebook page.

00:10 Good morning to you, Dr. Oye.

00:11 Good morning, Connie, and good morning to our listeners.

00:15 First question for you, Dr. Oye.

00:17 Is it true that massaging the feet at night lowers blood pressure?

00:22 That question is from Eliza Jimenez.

00:26 Yes, Elijah, you're right.

00:28 There are four reasons why we have problems with blood pressure.

00:34 One of them is the balance of what we call the autonomic nervous system.

00:39 This is the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

00:44 This is what is affected by chronic stress.

00:48 So, when we massage, we have nerve points in our feet

00:54 that are connected to our brain where we can balance the two systems.

01:01 The sympathetic system activates when we are relaxed or calm.

01:08 So, this also helps to lower the pressure in our body.

01:13 So, there are four mechanisms why blood pressure rises.

01:16 One of them is what we call the autonomic nervous system or its imbalances.

01:22 And for our next question for you, Dr. Oye,

01:24 he says he always feels dizzy and has a headache.

01:28 He also died several times in his years apart.

01:32 His other question is that he is easily tired and breathless.

01:36 What is his condition?

01:38 What is that, Doc?

01:39 That question is from Wilfredo Castro.

01:42 Wilfredo, the symptoms you are mentioning are not neglected,

01:48 especially if they are persistent.

01:51 Many diseases or feelings can be caused by sudden death or syncope.

02:01 It can be connected to the heart or to your blood problem,

02:06 especially if you are anemic.

02:07 But it is difficult to assess just by the information you gave me.

02:12 What is important now is to consult a doctor,

02:15 especially if these are the symptoms you are experiencing.

02:19 You are often dying and easily breathless.

02:22 If this is a result of a heart attack or something that affects your heart,

02:29 it can be dangerous.

02:30 It can manifest as an acute condition or event

02:35 where your health and life can be at risk.

02:41 So, my advice to you, Alfredo,

02:43 is to consult a doctor,

02:45 particularly a cardiologist or at least a general internist like me,

02:51 to assess and conduct laboratory tests

02:55 so that we can know why these are happening to you.

02:58 Meanwhile, back to our Facebook question, Doc Oye.

03:01 Why does he often faint, especially if the weather is cold?

03:06 That question is from Forbes Pakunla.

03:09 You know, Forbes, our lungs have what we call a mucosal immune system.

03:19 It goes to our lungs.

03:21 So, the extremes of temperature can sometimes trigger

03:26 for our immune system in our lungs to activate.

03:30 Because sometimes, they perceive extreme cold as danger or stranger.

03:37 So, what they will do is they will activate their defensive response

03:41 because that's the job of our immune system,

03:44 to protect us.

03:46 So, if they perceive someone who wants to enter our lungs,

03:50 they will activate the coughing reflex.

03:53 Sometimes, they will produce phlegm

03:56 to release the perceived danger or stranger

04:00 or microbe that wants to enter our body.

04:04 But sometimes, even if there's no microbe,

04:06 extremes of temperature, especially if it triggers the drying of our lungs,

04:11 can be a reason why you faint during those changes in temperature.

04:18 And for our last question,

04:20 here it is, Doc.

04:21 He has a protein trace in his urinalysis.

04:24 What does that mean?

04:26 The question is from Ara.

04:28 Ara, protein, or if you have protein findings in your urine,

04:32 that's not normal, right?

04:35 Because protein should be inside our blood vessel.

04:39 Because protein is what will pull the fluid component of our blood

04:45 when it comes out of the blood vessel.

04:48 If you throw away the protein,

04:50 it's an indication that your kidneys,

04:54 its filter, is already empty.

04:57 That's why protein is thrown away.

04:59 If it progresses,

05:01 it will cause many complications or conditions

05:05 that will affect your health.

05:09 Sometimes, it can be acute.

05:11 Because sometimes, if the amount of protein we eat is too high,

05:16 it can cause protein to be thrown away.

05:19 Or if you have a fever when you got your urinalysis,

05:24 it can be temporary when we see protein in your urine.

05:29 But if it persists,

05:31 especially if the number increases,

05:34 from traces to +1, +2,

05:37 you really need to consult a doctor,

05:40 particularly a nephrologist,

05:42 to know the cause of the damage to your kidneys.

05:50 Thank you so very much, Doc Oy, for answering and guiding us,

05:54 especially to those who sent their questions.

05:57 And of course, keep them coming.

05:58 Just send your questions because who knows,

06:02 we might be able to read the next questions for our next episode.
