What Is Asthma

• Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways in the lungs. Asthma can either be allergic (most common) or non-allergic.
• Allergic asthma is due to an allergic response known as a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction. People with asthma’s airways are hypersensitive to certain triggers. The allergic reaction causes narrowing of the small airways and leads to "air trapping" (known as an obstructive airway disease)
• There are different types of asthma- childhood onset asthma (usually before the age of 5), adult-onset asthma, exercise-induced asthma and aspirin induced asthma. Some asthma is known as seasonal asthma and occurs only at certain times of the year, usually with the changing of seasons such as during autumn or spring.
• Asthma is diagnosed with lung function tests. A spirometer or a PEFM (Peak Expiratory Flow Meter) is used in conjunction with a bronchodilator. The meter is used to assess your lung function before and after inhaling a fast-acting bronchodilator. A diagnosis of asthma is made when there is an improvement in lung function of more than 20% (PEFM) or more than 12%(when using a spirometer) after the bronchodilator is inhaled.
• Asthma is diagnosed when a patient has suggestive symptoms and a positive bronchodilator test.

What Is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

A person affected by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) finds it difficult to breathe.Prolonged smoking damages the lungs.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a combination of two diseases:

• Chronic bronchitis means the airways that take air to the lungs (bronchial tubes) become inflamed and produces more mucus. As a result of this, the airways become narrow, and breathing process gets complicated.
• Emphysema is a condition in which the air sacs get damaged and cannot stretch.  Usually, the air sacs in lungs stretch like balloons. Due to emphysema the air that travels in and out of the lungs become slow and leads to breathing shortage.
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease worsens over the time and the damage caused to lungs cannot be reversed. But you can act quickly to prevent further damage and make yourself comfortable while breathing. 

What Is Hair fall, Alopecia

• Hair loss, also called alopecia or baldness, means a loss of hair from part of the body or head. The severity of hair loss may vary from a small area to the entire body. Typically scarring or inflammation is not present. Hair loss may cause psychological distress in some people.
• Common types of hair loss are male-pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, female-pattern hair loss, and a thinning of hair known as telogen effluvium. 

What Is Indigestion

Indigestion is very commonly known as an upset stomach and is also called dyspepsia. Indigestion is when you have a pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen or the area under the ribs. This is a very common problem that afflicts most of the people at some point or the other. Indigestion occurs occasionally and most often, it is quite mild.

Indigestion is not really a disease but a set of symptoms. It may also be a symptom of an underlying problem such as gallbladder disease, ulcers or GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Indigestion usually occurs when the stomach acid comes in contact with the mucosa i.e. the protective lining of the digestive system. The acids break down the mucosa and cause inflammation and irritation and trigger the symptoms of indigestion.

When the acid in the stomach moves into the esophagus, it causes a burning sensation behind the breastbone. This is known as heartburn. Sometimes, heartburn and indigestion can occur together or on their own.

What Is Skin care

• Skin care is mutliple activities carried on to ensure healthy looking skin devoid of any diseases and deformities.

What Is Acne

• Acne, known as Acne Vulgaris, is one of the commonest dermatological complaints.
• Acne is especially prevalent during puberty and young adulthood, although some people may still suffer from it into their middle years. Acne is known in the general population as "pimples."
• Acne occurs when skin pores are blocked by excess sebum (natural oil produced by the skin) and by dead skin cells. As the sebum builds up, it causes inflammation of the surrounding skin. The lump that forms under the skin because of this blockage is called a comedo. A group of lumps is called comedones.
• If not treated properly acne can lead to permanent scarring. Acne also has important psychological implications such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, especially in youths.    

What Is Sunburn

Sunburn is a skin condition in which the skin turns red, painful and swollen due to over exposure to the sun. It is a kind of a radiation burn that affects the skin and living tissues. It occurs when the skin comes in contact with the ultraviolet rays.  

What Is Cancer

Cancer is essentially when there is an abnormal growth of cells in any part of the body. Typically, the body forms new cells to replace the ones that die. When new cells start growing even if you don’t really need them and the old cells don’t die, the extra cells may form a mass known as a tumour (leukaemia is an exception, as in this case cancer prohibits the normal functioning due to the abnormal division of cells in the bloodstream.

These tumours are classified as benign or malignant. Benign tumours are those that remain in one spot and do not grow. These tumours are not cancerous, whereas malignant ones are cancerous. The cells from malignant tumours spread via the lymphatic or blood systems and attack the neighbouring healthy tissues. These cancerous cells may also break away and spread to other parts of the body.

There are over 100 kinds of cancers and cancer can affect any part of the body. Most of the cancers are named after the part of the body where they originate. For instance, if it starts from the lung, it is known as lung cancer, etc. and when cancer spreads from one part of the body to another, it is known as metastasis.

There are broadly 5 groups of cancers:

• Carcinomas: They occur in cells that cover the external and internal parts of the body such as colon, breast and lung cancer.
• Sarcomas: These are caused in the cells located in the cartilage, bone, connective tissue, muscle, fat and other supportive tissues.
• Lymphomas: These cancers usually begin in the immune system tissues and lymph nodes.
• Adenomas: These are cancers that originate in the pituitary gland, thyroid, adrenal gland and other glandular tissues.
• Leukaemia:  These cancers begin in the bone marrow and accrue in the bloodstream. 

What Is High Cholesterol

Dyslipidaemia or high cholesterol indicate the imbalance of fats (or lipids) in one’s blood system.

High cholesterol or dyslipidaemia, means that there is an imbalance of fats (or lipids), circulating in one’s blood stream. The body uses cholesterol (the fatty substance) to metabolize food and also make hormones.

The following three different measurements are used to determine one’s overall lipid health:

1.    Low-Density Lipoprotein (bad cholesterol, LDL): The higher LDL, the more is the risk of cardiovascular disease. LDL obstructs the proper blood flow into the heart and other organs by building up plaque in arteries.

2.     High-Density Lipoprotein (Good cholesterol, HDL): HDL brings back the cholesterol to the liver from other parts of the body, thus removing the harmful cholesterols from your body. The higher the HDL, the better it is for the heart.

3.   Triglycerides – Also referred to as fat in the blood. This type of fat is usually found in eatable animal fats and vegetable oils. High levels of Triglycerides signify the increased risk of cardiovascular disease as it also contributes to building up of a plaque in one’s arteries

What Is Acute Bronchitis

Acute bronchitis often referred to as chest cold, is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes.

Bronchial tubes are the airways which carry oxygen from the trachea (windpipe) to the lungs and carbon dioxide back from the lungs to the windpipe. When the bronchial tubes get infected by virus or bacteria, the swell and produce mucus. This mucous causes a cough in the infected person.

Bronchitis can be acute or chronic.

In acute bronchitis, the patient is sick for week and symptoms last for 1-2 weeks. It comes quickly and is usually self-limiting.

In chronic bronchitis, the patient has recurrent episodes of a cough and can last for a long time. A cough is accompanied with mucus for almost up to three months in a year, and it may take around two years to recover fully.

What Is Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD/ GORD)

 GORD occurs when there is an abnormal amount of stomach acid that leaks back into the oesophagus, leading to symptoms and possible damage to the lining of the oesophagus. There are different causes for GORD, but usually, there is some impairment of the functioning of the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES). This sphincter connects the oesophagus to the stomach, and contracts to prevent reflux of stomach contents into the oesophagus during and after eating.

If GORD is not treated, the damaged cells in the oesophagus can change into different cell types than normally found in the oesophagus. This condition is called Barrett’s oesophagus. If this is left untreated, it can progress to oesophageal cancer.

GORD can be diagnosed with specific tests:

If GORD is suspected, gastroscopy is usually the first investigation performed.  A flexible tube with a camera lens is “swallowed” and allows the doctor to visualise the oesophagus and stomach. Stomach ulcers can also be excluded during the same procedure. The doctor will usually take a piece of oesophageal tissue (called a biopsy) and test it to see if there are any abnormal cells (Barrett’s oesophagus) or malignant cells. The biopsy may also show some yeast like Candida Albicans or bacteria like H.Pylori present in the oesophageal tissue that will need treatment.

Monitoring of the oesophagus’ pH over twenty-four hours can also be performed to assess for abnormal spikes of acid (low pH).

Manometry measures the pressure inside the oesophagus as well as the sphincter's contraction.

Radiological procedures such as a barium swallow (swallowing of a contrast medium while taking an X-ray) can also be performed to assess sphincter functionality and exclude any narrowing or masses in the oesophagus.

White men are more at risk for oesophageal cancer than any other population group. GORD is more prevalent in patients over the age of

40 years.

What Is Hives

It is also known as Urticaria. This causes red, itchy, raised welts and bumps on the skin that appears in various shapes and sizes. This is a very common disease in which rashes appear all over the body. These hives flare up suddenly and this disease is increased by extreme heat and cold. Antihistamines are the best treatment for this disease.

What Is Pain

Pain is an unpleasant sensation caused by an injury or illness disrupting the quality of life. It can be physical, mental or emotional. Pain can be in any specific part of the body or can be in the whole body in case of illness.

In medical terms, pain is described as a symptom of an underlying condition. This pain can be due to variety of diseases or conditions ranging from acute to chronic. The pain is a warning sign to protect the body from any bigger damage.

Pain is classified into 3 categories;

• Acute pain: This lasts for a period of time less than 30 days. Usually, it improves as the healing process is completed.
• Chronic pain: It lasts for more than 6 months or beyond the expected time of healing.
• Cancer pain: It may occur by the tumors in the body or treatment procedures. This pain may persist long after the treatment has ended such as after chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

In this article, we shall be talking about acute pain mainly.

Symptoms Treated With URTIPLEX LOTION

What Are The Symptoms Of Asthma

• Symptoms of asthma are typically a wheezy or "tight" chest, shortness of breath and recurrent or persistent coughing that is worse at night and early mornings. Coughing or tight chest are often also present after exercise.
• Exercise-induced asthma typically only produces symptoms after exercise. 

What Are The Symptoms Of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease symptoms never appear till the lung gets damaged to some extent. But once it starts getting affected, the deterioration will happen quickly. Especially continuous smoking will worsen the condition. The main symptom of chronic bronchitis indicates a daily cough and formation of mucus (sputum) every three months in a year for more than two years consistently.

More Symptoms of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease are as follows: 

• Breath shortness particularly at the time of doing physical activities.
• Gasping for breath.
• Tightness felt in the Chest.
• Regular cleaning of the throat due to the formation of mucus in the lungs.
• White, yellow, or green coloured mucus produced at the time of coughing.
• Fingernail beds and lips become blue.
• Repeated respiratory attack.
• Fatigue.
• Unexplained weight loss (in later stages).
• Leg, feet or ankle swells.

People suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease also experience exacerbations, meaning some days symptoms get worse than other days and last for many days.Some sudden trigger can worsen the disease and may lead to the chronic condition.

What Are The Symptoms Of Hair fall, Alopecia

• Gradual thinning of hair.

What Are The Symptoms Of Indigestion

The symptoms of indigestion are:

• Burning in the upper abdomen or stomach.
• Passing gas and belching, abdominal pain.
• Bloating or feeling uncomfortably full.
• Vomiting and nausea, acidic taste.
• Growling stomach.
• Bringing up fluid or food from your stomach.
• Heartburn.

The symptoms of indigestion worsen when you are stressed. Indigestion can be a sign of a more serious health condition and if you have any of the following symptoms, you should seek medical help immediately.

• Weight loss, vomiting or blood in vomit.
• Loss of appetite, severe pain in lower or upper right abdomen.
• A discomfort that may not be related to eating.
• Black and tarry stools, blood visible in the stools.

What Are The Symptoms Of Skin care

Everybody wants to look beautiful and skin is the most important part of not only beauty but also a healthy body. Your skin shows how healthy your body is. However, skin is also the most easily affected part of the body if proper care is not taken. Some of the symptoms of poor skin are:

• Acne, chapped lips, moles, warts
• Early wrinkles
• Uneven texture, patches, dryness on the skin, blotchiness.
• Dark spots or hyperpigmentation
• Flaky/ scaly skin, rashes 

What Are The Symptoms Of Acne

• Acne starts out as comedones. People with acne present with blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, pustules (commonly known as “pimples”) or nodules (lumps that form under the skin). Often people with acne suffer from an oily skin complexion.
• Acne is classified as either inflammatory or non-inflammatory acne.
• Comedones are non-inflammatory acne. They can either be closed (whiteheads) or open (blackheads). The color of a blackhead is not debris or an indication of bad skin hygiene, but melanin (the skin’s surface pigment).
• Inflammatory acne occurs when bacteria invade the skin, causing papules or pustules (pimples). Nodules and cysts are also inflammatory lesions. Nodules are deeper skin lesions, while cysts are fluid-filled lumps. 
• Acne usually presents in common areas of increased oil production such as the forehead, nose, chin, chest and upper back.
• Acne can be classified as mild, moderate or severe, depending on the amount and type of lesions. 

What Are The Symptoms Of Sunburn

The major symptoms of sunburn are as follows:

• Blisters and rashes appear on the skin after the overexposure to the sun.
• Skin feels hot and warm when touched.
• Swelling on the skin.
• Fatigue, fever, headache, and nausea if the sunburn is severe.
• Itching, pain, and tenderness on the skin.

What Are The Symptoms Of Cancer

·         Yellowish eyes and skin (jaundice)

·         Itching (pruritis)

·         Excessive growth of hair

Some other symptoms of cancer are:

• Change in bladder function or bowel habits (longterm diarrhoea, constipation, pain or blood in urine).
• Sores that do not heal.
• White spots on the tongue or white patches inside the mouth (leukoplakia).
• Unusual discharge or bleeding.
• Thickening or lump in any part of the body such as breast, testicles, lymph nodes, etc.
• Long-term indigestion or trouble in swallowing.
• Any changes in a mole, wart or any changes in the skin.
• Hoarseness or a nagging cough. 

What Are The Symptoms Of High Cholesterol

Usually, high cholesterol doesn’t have much of symptoms initially, except chest pain. However, it can lead to sudden heart attack or stroke, if it goes unnoticed.

What Are The Symptoms Of Acute Bronchitis

Acute bronchitis is contagious and spreads from person to person.  Symptoms include:

• High-grade fever, a runny nose.
• Initial dry cough, which later changes to wet cough with mucous.
• Sneezing, watery eyes.
• Congestion in the nose.
• Head ache, a sore throat.
• Wheezing, tiredness.
• Body pain.
• Complications include high-grade fever, breathlessness, chest pain and pneumonia.

You can notice that the mucous changes in colour from white to green and then to yellow. It just means that your immune system is trying to fight off the infection.

What Are The Symptoms Of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD/ GORD)

If you suffer from GORD, you may have some of the typical symptoms. Heartburn is the commonest complaint. You may have pain after eating or during swallowing (referred to as “dysphagia”). Sometimes it may feel as though the food “gets stuck” just to the bottom of your sternum(breastbone). You make wake up with the taste of acid in the mouth (“waterbrash”), due to stomach acid reflux while lying down.

Some people may have atypical symptoms caused by GORD. Atypical symptoms may include:

• Chronic irritating cough
• Hoarse voice due to acid reflux affecting the vocal chords
• Retrosternal chest pain (pain behind the breastbone) due to spasm of the LES when swallowing food.

What Are The Symptoms Of Hives

The disease hives have many certain symptoms which can be seen and observed very easily. In this disease, symptoms keep on appearing and disappearing but chronic hives can have symptoms for months. Here are the most common ones: - Raised itchy bumps. Either red or skin coloured rashes. Dizziness & Wheezing. Swelling of the face and lips. Hives on reproductive organs.

What Are The Symptoms Of Pain

There are no as such symptoms of pain as pain itself is a symptom of an underlying condition.

Symptoms of chronic pain are:

• Pain that does not go away after recovery from disease or injury.
• Pain causing stiffness or discomfort.

Causes of diseases where URTIPLEX LOTION is used

What Are The Causes Of Asthma

• Mostly asthma starts in childhood and is often outgrown in early adulthood. Some asthmatics may, however, need treatment lifelong.
• Asthma has a strong genetic component and is part of the so-called "atopic triad" in childhood which includes allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis (eczema) and asthma.
• Early insult to a child's lungs such as neonatal pneumonia or bronchitis may play a role in developing asthma later.
• People with asthma have individual triggers. These triggers are commonly sensitivities to house-dust mites, grass, pollen, animal dander, dairy, wheat, nuts and soy products. Chest infections, cold air or air pollution can also trigger an attack.
• Adult onset starts in the early twenties. There is speculation about possible causes; genetics, smoking and a history of allergies seem to play the biggest part. It affects females more than males.
• Asthma can be caused/ triggered due to any of the following reasons:

                 1. Airborne substances like pollen, dust mites, pet dander or particles of cockroach waste.

                 2. Respiratory infections such as common cold

                 3. Exercise-induced asthma

                 4. Cold air

                 5. Air pollutants like smoke

                 6. Certain medications including beta blockers, aspirin, ibuprofen  and naproxen

                 7. Strong emotions, stress

                 8. Foods which contain Sulphites and preservatives

                 9. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Asthma is a combination of environmental and genetic factors, as many people live in same conditions. Still, some people get asthma and some don’t.

What Are The Causes Of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Some of the  factors that may cause Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease are as follows:

Tobacco Smoking causes Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in developed countries. But in the developing countries, along with smoking, fumes also from burning fuel in homes and industries lead to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Up to twenty to thirty percent of persistent smokers develop clinically apparent Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Most of the smokers with smoking histories for many years might produce a reduction in lung function.  Some of them develop a less frequent lung conditions. Without thorough evaluation, it’s hard to diagnose Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Know how lungs get affected

Via two large tubes called bronchi, the air travels down into the windpipe called trachea. The tubes get further divided into many branches like tree branches inside the lungs. The smaller tubes called as (bronchioles) and they end in a collection of tiny air sacs called alveoli.

The alveoli have a thin wall made up of small blood vessels called capillaries. The oxygen passes through the capillaries and reaches the bloodstream during the inhaling process. Simultaneously, the carbon dioxide comes out during the exhaling process.

The natural flexibility of the air sacs and bronchial tubes pushes air out of the body.  Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease makes the air sacs and tubes lose their flexibility. This leads to some air getting trapped in the lungs while exhaling.

Lack Of Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Protein

Close to one percent of the population gets affected by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease may result due to the inherited disorder. The lowering level of alpha-1-antitrypsin protein happens due to a genetic disorder. Liver prepares the Alpha-1-antitrypsin and secretes into the bloodstream. Thereby, protect the lungs. Lack of Alpha-1-antitrypsin protein will affect not only the liver but also the lungs. Such damage affects both children and adults due to passive smoking.

For adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease due to lack of Alpha-1-antitrypsin protein can be treated the same way others get treatment for the disease. Along with that replacing Alpha-1-antitrypsin protein can protect lungs from further damage.

What Are The Causes Of Hair fall, Alopecia

• Male-pattern hair loss may be caused by a combination of genetic factors and male hormones.
• The cause of alopecia areata is autoimmune diseases.
• The causes for female pattern hair loss are not clear.
• The cause of is telogen effluvium (common following pregnancy) is mostly a psychologically or physically stressful event.

What Are The Causes Of Indigestion

There can be several reasons for indigestion:

Diseases

• Ulcers, pregnancy, stomach Infection
• GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)
• Gastroparesis (the stomach doesn't empty properly, usually occurs in people suffering from diabetes)
• Chronic pancreatitis, stomach cancer (rare)
• A hiatus hernia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Thyroid disease

Medications

• Aspirin and painkillers like NSAIDS such as ibuprofen, oral contraceptives, estrogen, naproxen, etc., antibiotics, steroid medications
• Nitrates, thyroid medicines

Lifestyle

• Eating very fast, eating a lot.
• Consuming foods very high in fat.
• Eating when you are very stressed.
• Drinking plenty of alcohol, smoking.
• Obesity or being overweight, stress and anxiety.
• Swallowing too much of air while eating can increase belching and bloating, which are symptoms that are associated with indigestion.

Persistent indigestion not related to any of the above factors is called non-ulcer or functional dyspepsia.

What Are The Causes Of Skin care

Skin problems are mostly symptoms of the problem within the body. Some of the causes of poor skin health are:

• Drinking less water (leading to dehydrated body)
• Poor diet, eating too much of junk food
• Too much of sun exposure, smoking, drinking alcohol
• Stress, less physical rest
• Pollution, not washing your face frequently
• Using too much of make-up, using poor quality of makeup products, not removing makeup before sleeping
• Any skin disease, any problem like imbalance of hormones

What Are The Causes Of Acne

• Causes of acne are multifactorial. There are many myths surrounding causes and home remedies.
• Genetics play the largest role (estimated in 80%) of acne cases.
• Hormones, especially increased testosterone during puberty, play the second biggest role. Androgens increase the production of sebum by the skin’s oil glands as well as an increased production of cells found in the skin’s epidermis (top layer).
• Hormonal changes during normal menstrual cycles, as well as pregnancy also play a role in women.
• The bacteria, Propionibacterium Acnes, which is usually found on the skin, is another important role player. The areas of inflamed skin surrounding comedones make it easier for bacteria to accumulate and grow.
• Although there are many myths surrounding diet in acne, there are few scientific conclusions around its actual role. Carbohydrates and milk products have shown some suggested links, but none are definitive.
• Facial hygiene is important, but plays a small role, especially in severe acne.    

What Are The Causes Of Sunburn

Sunburn is caused when the body is exposed to the sunlight for too long. The ultra-violet rays present in the sunlight is the main reason of sunburn. People are inherited with a tendency of sunburn. There are three types of UV rays UVA, UVB, UVC out of which only UVA and UVB are responsible for sunburn. When skin is exposed to the sun, it starts producing melanin which helps to prevent sunburn. In some people, enough melanin is not produced because of which skin tends to burn. 

What Are The Causes Of Cancer

• Exposure to toxic compounds or chemicals like benzene, asbestos, nickel, tobacco, etc.
• Ionising Radiation: UV rays from the sun, gamma rays, uranium and radon radiation, etc.
• Pathogens: HPV, herpes, hepatitis viruses, etc.
• Genetics: Cancers like ovarian, breast, skin, prostate, colorectal cancers and melanoma are linked to human genes and are inherited from members of the family. 

What Are The Causes Of High Cholesterol

• Obesity
• Eating fatty foods
• No physical exercise
• Age (after 20, it starts to rise).
• Family history

What Are The Causes Of Acute Bronchitis

Acute bronchitis occurs more frequently in children and elderly people. However, all age groups are at risk of getting this disease.

• The main cause of this infection is a respiratory virus. Around 10% of cases are caused by a bacterial infection. Other factors which might increase the risk of an infection are:
• It is more common in the winter months.
• Repeated exposure to other persons with bronchitis or the common cold.
• People with a previous condition of upper respiratory tract infection may also get acute bronchitis.
• Exposure to dust, pollutants, chemical fumes, etc.
• Inhaling cigarette smoke.
• Failure to take vaccinations against diseases like whooping cough, pneumonia, and flu.
• Weakened immunity system makes it easy for viruses to cause infections.

What Are The Causes Of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD/ GORD)

GORD is most often caused by a lowered tone in the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES)

Factors/Causes that affect the functioning of the LES:

• Hiatus hernias
• Raised intra-abdominal pressure due to pregnancy, intra-abdominal masses, obesity or being overweight
• Pregnancy: Progesterone lowers the tone of the oesophageal sphincter, as well as the combination of increased abdominal pressure

Factors that reduce the tone of the LES:

• Progesterone
• Caffeine
• Alcohol
• Chocolate
• Peppermint
• Delayed emptying of the stomach called gastroparesis will also contribute to GORD. This may occur in patients with diabetes or other abnormalities of digestion.

Medications that can contribute to the development of GORD:

• NSAIDS (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories)
• Blood pressure treatments such as calcium channel blockers(CCB)

What Are The Causes Of Hives

Hives occur when the body reacts to an allergen and this releases some chemicals from under the skin. The chemical causes inflammation and burning sensation causing hives. Common causes of this disease are: - Intestinal Parasites Extreme temperature and cold Transmission from pets Water on the skin Blood Transfusion Insect bites and stings Factors like exercise and sun exposure Certain medications

What Are The Causes Of Pain

Pain can be caused due to several known or unknown conditions. These include:

• Illness, injury, surgery
• Trauma, stress
• Hunger
• Wrong sitting or sleeping postures
• Chronic diseases
