Acute Costochondritis

Acute Costochondritis, also called chest wall pain syndrome, causes inflammation between your ribs and breastbone. The condition itself isn’t an emergency—but it feels just like a heart attack. Here’s how to identify the symptoms and when you should go to the emergency room.

Mononucleosis: Everything You Need to Know

Mononucleosis—often nicknamed “the kissing disease”—is a very common and contagious infection. It spreads through bodily fluids, like saliva or blood. The virus, called Epstein-Barr, can cause a fever, sore throat and extreme exhaustion, sometimes for months. There is no cure for mono—and no real treatment. But you can make symptoms better while the virus runs its course.

Hemochromatosis

Hemochromatosis, known as iron overload, is a medical condition that can be genetic or caused by too much iron from blood transfusions. The key symptoms are diabetes, bronzing of the skin, and cirrhosis (liver changes).

Peroneal Nerve Injury

Peroneal nerve injury is a progressive injury that affects the peroneal nerve, a nerve running along the side of your leg. It can be injured in an accident or a knee dislocation, but can also from wearing high heels.

Gingivitis: causas de la gingivitis y cómo tratar y prevenir los síntomas

La gingivitis es una afección común que consiste en la inflamación de las encías de la boca. El síntoma principal son las encías hinchadas, decoloradas y sangrantes. Se previene y trata con una buena higiene bucal y, si no se trata, puede progresar a periodontitis.

Tendinitis del manguito rotador

El manguito de los rotadores está formado por los músculos y tendones que rodean la cavidad del hombro. Los tendones pueden inflamarse e irritarse por el uso excesivo y el desgaste normal, causando tendinitis. Es posible que deba detener temporalmente las actividades que están causando el problema.

La resaca por el consumo de alcohol es una condición extremadamente común que involucra deshidratación, dolor de cabeza, fatiga, bajo estado de ánimo, ansiedad, náuseas y vómitos.

La sudoración excesiva puede ser incómoda y vergonzosa, pero existen tratamientos.

Verletzung des Nervus peroneus

Eine Verletzung des Nervus peroneus ist eine fortschreitende Verletzung, die den Nervus peroneus betrifft, einen Nerv, der an der Seite Ihres Beins verläuft. Die Verletzung kann durch einen Unfall oder eine Knieverrenkung, aber auch durch das Tragen von High Heels entstehen.

Akute Costochondritis

Akute Costochondritis, auch Brustwandschmerzsyndrom genannt, verursacht eine Entzündung zwischen Rippen und Brustbein. Die Erkrankung selbst ist kein Notfall – aber sie fühlt sich wie ein Herzinfarkt an. Hier erfahren Sie, wie Sie die Symptome erkennen und wann Sie in die Notaufnahme gehen sollten.
