Doctor Reacts To Bizarre Health "Hack" Videos

I’ve reacted to bizarre health posts I’ve found on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok... you name it. Today I decided to dive head first into RU-vid’s ocean of clickbait and see what medical videos existed out there. Oh boy, are there a lot. Channels like Brightside and Craft Panda are regularly putting out videos with “health hacks” and “medical tips” that aren’t based in any reality or verified by an ounce of evidence. Today I set the record straight regarding things like heart attacks, brushing your teeth, sneezing, bruises, fevers, colds, pressure points, going to the bathroom, headaches, arm numbness, and the truth regarding love’s impact on your body.
I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

The sneeze thing is real. It's a photosensitivity thing. Not everyone is like that but I know some people that sneeze any time they're in too bright of light.

7:57 Kind of a funny story. So in late November last year, I was in the ER, and in my discharge paper work, it said that my blood pressure was high and that I may want to see my primary doctor about hypertension. I looked at this and laughed. When they took my blood pressure, I was in the ER, with a broken AND dislocated ankle, by myself, in a crazy amount of pain, and learning from personal experience that adrenaline and fear are some crazy pain-killers. But my blood pressure was high. Gee, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY??? The nurses and all were actually really nice, no shade towards them whatsoever. I just thought it was funny that in the given circumstances I was told I may want to talk to my doctor about hypertension.

@vivianloney 17 дней назад

I was in the ER for a kidney infection and my blood pressure was very high. I had hydronephrosis, hypokalemia, and was in a lot of pain of course my blood pressure was high. Right under my checkout vitals that said my blood pressure was 115/80 on discharge it said "Your blood pressure was elevated today. Please talk to your primary care doctor about hypertension." There's no escaping it. Lol

@amethyst_cat9532 16 дней назад

When I was in college I once had to tell my doctor about sucky roommates I had (their presence added a lot of stress and led to me significantly changing my habits, and I was worried there would be effects my doctor could see) and she took my blood pressure while I was talking. When she was done she said "Okay your blood pressure's a little high, but if I was talking about what you were just talking about then my blood pressure would be high too"

I will say that the sinus headache one is actually nice, cause in my experience it can help encourage drainage a bit and kinda lessen the pressure a bit (so it hurts less) but to be fair what I call "sinus" headaches are mostly just inflamed sinuses/congestion where the pressure is enough to make my head hurt.

So that whole "look at a bright light to sneeze" thing is called Photic Sneeze Reflex, and affects 18-35% of the world population, myself included. When I was younger, it was common for me to exit a dark place on a bright day, and have a sneeze. It continued into my adulthood and I was relieved to find out that it's an actual thing. The reason this happens is not well understood, however. Probably just some random mutation causing a crossed wire in the brain somewhere. It does come in handy though, because if I'm on the verge of sneezing, I can simply look directly into a bright light and get it done with.

Literally never develops an itch. Otherwise, marginal help but still some slight itching, through not as bad as using nothing at all.

The fingers on both sides of the top of the nose in the corners of the eye sockets CAN actually provide soothing relief for a headache. Won't stop the headache, but it can be relaxing putting pressure on the right spots there or even squeezing the thicker skin where the nose meets the forehead.

I've tried the feet in hot water and ice on the head thing for migraines. Why? Because there comes a point where you will try just about anything, and it was risk free with no side effects. It worked better than most things, but probably not any better than just putting ice on my head/neck- which tends to be the most effective thing for me. And my brother always sneezes a few times when he first goes into bright sunlight, so I buy the sneezing thing at least for some people. Oh, and I don't know what if blowing on your thumb the way you did it reduces anxiety, but we use something that might be called blowing on your thumb as a vagal maneuver to lower heart rate or pull someone out of SVT, might work for anxiety as well. Where you have the person put the tip of their thumb in their mouth and blow out against the pressure.

@@Kriddle1229 That's photic sneeze reflex. Same condition here.

the photic sneeze reflex is a real thing. I have it, my brother had it, my daughter has it, but not everyone has it.

Mike seems to be one of those doctors who is "It doesn't work on me so it must not be real." It would be better if Mike researched the things in his episodes rather than jumping blind in to an episode. That said though, some stuff out there online can be terrible health advice. (I once saw a post saying strobbing lights can fix a headache. Flashing lights can cause headaches, and are certainly not going to help if that headache is a seizure aura!)

If you actually followed your own advice and didnt jump to conclusions you would have noticed that he didnt even refute the photic sneeze reflex. He just hadnt heard of it before.

My problem is i have pretty severe anxiety and panic disorder and so Im never really sure whats going on but i remain vigilante and in finding more self recognition with symptoms. It just really sucks when you have mainly mental health concerns on your patient record and you have state insurance as its all you can afford and the healthcare field is completely overburdened and because im relatively young as well, im not taken very seriously by the doctors and health professionals ive seen. Its discouraging and more stress inducing (compounding general negative health effects). I worry that something might be missed, overlooked, and it wont be discovered and acknowledged until it reaches a point of no return. The socioeconomic class i find myself lends itself to a perfect storm of circumstances that have become nothing but obstacles, and with the way i process and interpret the world every day is its own battle. I try to imagine it as more "adventure" than "battle." Adventures are not always picturesque but at least there's depth, life in a spectrum of emotions and i get to experience them all. But i dont want that, that bittersweet essence of existence, to be taken from me too soon and all because i couldnt find the esteem to fully advocate myself
