00:04 Welcome back to Pinoy MD!
00:06 Let's welcome our certified health and wellness doctor, Doc Oye
00:10 to answer your questions for your well-being here in Pinoy MD.
00:16 Good morning to you, Doc Oye!
00:18 Good morning, Connie! And of course, happy new year to our fellow Filipinos!
00:22 First question, Doc.
00:23 Is it good to drink fish oil?
00:27 This is a question from Jerome Lapuz.
00:29 There are many benefits of fish oil.
00:33 This is what we call essential fatty acids.
00:37 It's good not only for the heart,
00:40 but also for the brain and even the eyes.
00:44 But for the heart, it helps to lower triglycerides.
00:48 If you are testing your cholesterol levels or lipid profile,
00:53 it can lower triglycerides.
00:56 It can also lower blood pressure.
00:59 Essential fatty acids like EPA are important
01:04 because they need the nutrients of our blood vessels
01:08 to keep us healthy.
01:10 Another type of fish oil is DHA.
01:13 This is good for cognitive and brain function.
01:16 There are many benefits of fish oil.
01:20 It has anti-inflammatory benefits,
01:22 especially for people who suffer from chronic pain.
01:27 And this, Doc.
01:28 If the roots of our brain are visible,
01:33 does that indicate brain aneurysm?
01:36 It could be an indication of a specific type of vascular malformation.
01:42 Or sometimes, there are autoimmune conditions
01:46 that could affect our blood vessels.
01:49 It could also show prominent blood vessels,
01:52 especially in our brain.
01:54 But this is not an indication of aneurysm.
01:57 Aneurysm is the bulging of our blood vessels.
02:04 But there are vascular malformations or conditions
02:09 like hemangioma that can manifest prominence
02:13 of blood vessels or our roots in our skin.
02:16 For our next question,
02:17 what is the cause of the pain in the right side of the spine?
02:21 Is it above the tailbone,
02:23 which sometimes reaches the right side of the back?
02:26 This question is from Amid Faizal.
02:29 Amid, you might have gallstone.
02:33 Because the part you're describing
02:36 is where the so-called abdo or gallbladder is located.
02:41 If you have stones in your abdomen,
02:44 and this is where the gallstone colic manifests,
02:48 that could be the explanation of your symptoms.
02:51 But of course, I'm not sure about that.
02:53 You need to consult a doctor,
02:55 especially if you're repeatedly experiencing pain in the right side
02:59 that still radiates to the back.
03:01 But that's typical of a person who has gallstone colic
03:06 because of having gallbladder stones.
03:09 Next question.
03:11 What should he do whenever he gets palpitated
03:14 and his abdomen is spinning,
03:16 especially if he has high blood pressure?
03:19 The question is from Lejel Mahinay Gulmatico.
03:23 Oh, Lejel, of course, high blood pressure
03:27 is one of the many risk factors
03:30 that will contribute to you having a risk
03:32 to have a heart attack or a heart attack in the heart,
03:37 as we call it.
03:38 Palpitation is actually one of the suggestive symptoms
03:42 that has a compromise with the blood flow
03:45 that supplies to the muscles of your heart or our heart.
03:50 So, if you're feeling it persistently,
03:53 those are warning symptoms, Lejel.
03:55 You really need to consult a cardiologist
03:58 to do a workup
04:00 to know if some of the roots that supply blood to your heart
04:05 have a significant compromise.
04:08 Thank you so very much, Doc,
04:10 for answering our Facebook questions.
04:13 And of course, let's remind our Facebook followers,
04:17 keep those questions coming because who knows,
04:19 maybe the next question you'll send
04:22 will be the one we'll be reading next week.
04:25 So, be careful when you return to Pinoy MD.
