CPR words of wisdom from the Police Acadamy. "If someone's heart has stopped and they aren't breathing, what are they? They're dead. Can't make them any worse than dead. Start chest compressions."

[@sarahelizabeth2359]

Not just when they aren’t breathing at all, but if the breathing is clearly irregular e.g. intermittent gasping you would still attempt CPR if you can’t find a pulse

Hey Mike. My aunt Diane was having a heart attack in an elevator and a guy knew CPR and performed it on her until the paramedics arrived, so whenever you talk about doing proper chest compressions, I think about that. She survived but they said if he had not done that, she probably would not have survived. Keep up the good work.

I sometimes get sharp abdominal pains around ovulation or the week before my period. I did have an ultrasound for this reason, and everything was fine.

Little warning about being a ticklish patient: you absolutely can have a serious condition and still be extremely tickling. I had an ovarian cyst the size of a softball to rupture and when the ER docs kept pressing on my belly, I would break into laughs. They thought nothing serious was wrong with me since I was squirming and laughing so much... until they did a scan and saw just how much fluid had filled my lower abdomen. Thing is, I was also at a pain level of 10 (literally the worst pain of my life, and I have fibromyalgia so I KNOW PAIN) and I had even passed out from the agony earlier, before my mother called 911. I'm just seriously ticklish, and because I'm constantly in pain, I don't always outwardly show that I'm in pain. (Hiding my fibro pain is second nature, and this makes convincing doctors that I'm suffering a challenge.)

For some hyperhidosis symptoms I would recommend SweatBlock wipes or creams. I also had good luck with Carpe Max. Both can work well on palms and forehead sweat without leaving white residue.

Sophe Jane not a doctor but pretty sure it has to do with your heart rate picking up cause you’re freaking out. At least that’s what I believe I’m probably wrong

It's caused by the change of your breathing pattern since you automatically breathe and aren't conscious of it. This happens with both panic attacks and anxiety.

your heart rate increases and your lungs can't catch up to it which causes your mind to freak out causes the panic attack :3 hope thats the answer you were looking for

Doctor Mike, first off, you're amazing! We love watching your channel and my 7 year old (or rather, he'll be 7 on the 29th) loves to run around and yell, "peewoop!" Thank you for answering the question about ball caps and balding, but what about hair ties? I have a family member who keeps telling us that we shouldn't put hair ties in our son's hair because it will cause baldness later in life. Help! :)

[@jessicagoodson7452]

I actually looked this up! If you make a super tight ponytail, regularly, the traction alopecia is a possibility. As well as possible breakage from the elastic. But if you use a soft hair elastic without a metal band in it and don't make the ponytail too tight, it won't do a lot of damage. I'm not qualified medically to answer this, just what I found on google.

[@willowtabby4926]

Traction alopecia is a thing, and can happen to anyone that constantly wears really tight hair ties, regardless of their gender, due to the constant hard pulling on the roots of the hair. Hair breakage is also common with tight hair ties, possibly due to the amount of stress on the strands. Breakage is often worse with ponytailers that have metal in them, as the hair gets caught in the metal. So, yes, constant use of really tight hair ties _can_ cause baldness and hair loss issues, but it's *not* linked to what's between a person's legs (if he gets male pattern baldness later in life, it'll happen regardless of whether he had really tight hair ties or not), or how else they present themselves. Feel free to let him continue using hair ties, but try to encourage him to not constantly have his hair tied back really tight. Look for metal-free hair ties, and also consider using those coil hair ties that have been around for a few years now. Supposedly scrunchies are also better than "standard" hair ties - possibly something about typically not being as tight, and theoretically spreading the pressure out more - not sure how true that is though. Basically, the same hair care that you'd apply for yourself or a daughter can apply equally to your son. Also, well done on giving him freedom to experiment with his look, even if that experimentation takes him outside of what society considers to be the "gender norms."
