Questions to family doctor Dr. med. Petra Bracht

The general practitioner and Naturopath has a private practice in Bad Homburg. Here she will advise you.

OVERPURIFICATION: BETTER POTATOES AND VEGETABLES INSTEAD OF MEAT AND SWEET

My girlfriend was diagnosed with chronic hyperacidity. What does that mean?

Rita W. (46), Taught

Reply from Dr. Bracht:

The doctor speaks of hyperacidity when the pH of the blood is below 7.3. Normally, mechanisms in the body keep this value constant, and acid metabolites are excreted through the gut. Calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium in our body make the acids harmless. Because we eat too much acid over the diet of meat, sausage and dairy these days, these systems are sometimes overburdened and hyperacidity occurs . This can lead to illnesses. Tip: Eat plenty of foods that are low in acidity, such as potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, leafy lettuce and fruits such as bananas or pineapple. This prevents the hyperacidity .

EXCITEMENT AND NERVOUSITY? TEA MELISSENKRAUT CARVED

My stomach and gut go crazy with every excitement. Do you have a tip from the natural pharmacy for me?

Elke R. (42), Schweinfurt

Reply from Dr. Bracht:

The melissa, also known as nervous herb, has been used successfully for over 2, 000 years as a medicinal plant in nervous stomach and intestinal complaints. The essential oils, such as citral and citronellal, it not only owes its citrus fragrance, but also the soothing, anticonvulsant and anti-inflammatory properties. And that's why I recommend Melissentee even with irritable stomach. It calms the autonomic nervous system in the area of ​​the digestive tract, normalizes digestion and has an antispasmodic effect. Half a hour before meals, drink a cup of freshly brewed lemon balm and an additional cup at bedtime. A moist, warm wrap on the stomach supports the effect.

SCHWINDEL: MOST HE IS HARMLESS

I feel dizzy sometimes. Now I would be particularly interested in whether this could be due to the spine. What do you mean?

Klaus F. (55), by e-mail

Reply from Dr. Bracht:

Dizziness can have many causes. In some cases, tension in the musculature of the cervical spine is actually at fault. In any case, you should go to a neurologist who also examines the brain. Do not worry: In most cases, acute dizziness occurs due to circulatory disorders in the inner ear. Tense muscles in the neck and neck area do the rest. This relaxation exercise helps: Sit on a chair and slowly tilt your head backwards. It may quietly draw something, but should not be unpleasant. In the end position, remain for a moment and take a deep breath. Then, bend your head forward and lower your chin to the neck. Do this exercise several times.

YOUR RIGHT AS A PATIENT

What does the cashier pay? When am I entitled to compensation? Good, if you know his right

DOCTOR CAN REJECT DATE

I wanted a family doctor appointment on a Friday lunchtime. The practice had nothing left and only opened until two o'clock. I had to go to another doctor. Is that allowed?

Petra L., Lingen

Yes, despite the general duty to treat, the doctor may refuse patients for overwork or wait for a waiting period. There is no legal requirement as to how long the practice must be open. If you can only do it on Fridays, you should choose a different practice.

HEALTH INSURANCE ON TRAVEL

I would like to go on vacation to Italy. Do I really need health insurance for my trip abroad?

Greta E., Trier

The benefits of the statutory funds are basically limited to Germany. In countries of the European Union (EU), including in Italy, outpatient services can be used at any time, more in an emergency. Outside the EU, every medical bill must be paid privately. Here is a foreign insurance makes sense.

PAYMENT REQUIRED FOR UNEMPLOYED

Because of an inflammation of my tooth root I needed antibiotic tablets. Do I have to pay for the drug even though I am unemployed?

Uta P., Schwerin

The court has recently ruled that unemployed people can also be expected to pay 40 euros a year for additional payments for medicines. There are now many medicines that are free of charge. Mostly, a cheaper equivalent drug can be taken. Therefore, ask your doctor before issuing you a prescription. Your health insurance company will also give you information. (B1 KR10 / 07 R)
