P.Bhargav Kashyap - ArticlesRESTLESS LEG SYNDROMEMoving your legs is great exercise, but most people do it during the day. For those with restless leg syndrome, however, their legs really get moving at night, and that can be a real problem. RASHESA rash is one of the most telltale signs that something is bothering your skin. When you’re under stress, sick, or have had a close encounter with insects or poisonous plants, the skin may display its unhappiness for all the world to see, in the form of a red, itchy, irritating rash. PSORIASISYour skin is completely waterproof; it protects your insides, and it’s self-repairing. Forget nylon, rayon, and other “miracle” fabrics – your skin puts them all to shame. PREMENSTRUAL DISCOMFORTIt begins at puberty and, for some women, doesn’t end until menopause – thirty-five or forty years of cramping, bloating, mood swings, and other uncomfortable symptoms that may occur every month. It’s called premenstrual discomfort, and doctors estimate that it affects as many as three out of four women at some time in their lives. OSTEOPOROSISWe think of bones as being hard and durable – so durable, in fact, that we often forget they’re living tissue. But bones, like tissues throughout your body, are constantly breaking down. Your body needs lots of calcium, and your bones are the main storehouse. When calcium levels in the body dip, the mineral is removed from the bones and transported through the bloodstream. Over time, your bones reabsorb calcium from the blood and ‘redeposit’ it, which keeps them strong. NOSEBLEEDSYou don’t have to square off with mike Tyson to suffer a nosebleed. The membranes in the nose are very thin, with a delicate network of blood vessels very near the surface. Dry air, allergies, or even blowing your nose too hard can irritate the lining in the nose, causing nosebleeds. NAUSEAEveryone’s stomach has done gymnastics once in a while. Sometimes it’s because of something you ate, or the sight of blood, or because your stomach’s a landlubber even though your hearts into sailing. And sometimes the stomach gets upset for no apparent reason at all. MUSCLE PAINWe usually don’t give a lot of thought to how our muscles are doing. As long as we can do the basics – hoisting a child, hauling out the garbage, or carrying a box of books upstairs – we take them for granted. Then one day we push them a little harder than usual and spend the next few days limping about. At that point it’s hard to think about anything else. MOTION SICKNESSThere’s a lot to be said for the good old days when people got around mainly by foot power. Cars, boats, and airplanes may get us there faster, but our stomachs don’t always appreciate the difference. Nearly everyone has motion sickness from time to time, and some folks can’t even ride across town without sitting by an open window. MORNING SICKNESSIf you’ve never had a baby before, the first few months of pregnancy can definitely take some getting used to. The problem isn’t weight gain or food cravings. The real problem is trying to get through an entire day without dashing for the bathroom. It’s called “morning sickness,” but your stomach doesn’t wear a watch. Morning, noon, or night – you can never be sure when your stomach is going to start feeling queasy.
