Asthma In Children
It is estimated that as many as one in five children will be diagnosed with Asthma. It can range from very mild to severe.
Sleep Apnoea
This occurs when the walls of the throat come together or collapse during sleep obstructing the upper airway. Breathing can stop for a period of time until the brain recognises a drop in oxygen and sends a "wake up call", causing you to wake slightly (or completely). In turn, the airway opens with a snort or gasp, after which the person goes back to sleep.
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
This is a painful condition caused by pressure of the medium nerve running through a narrow space in the wrist (the carpel tunnel) into the hand. The nerve supplies the feeling sensation to the thumb index and the middle fingers and sometimes the thumb side of the ring finger. It also supplies some muscles which move the thumb.
Enlarged Prostate
The prostate gland sits under the bladder in males. As men get older, it slowly enlarges. It is thought to double in size between age 21 and 50 and double again between 50 and 80.
