00:00Welcome back to Pinoy M.D.
00:06Doc and I are so happy.
00:08We have food.
00:10But aside from that, of course, we are happy
00:12because we will be able to give more knowledge
00:14to our fellow Filipinos there.
00:16Especially if you are the ones
00:18who often get injured.
00:20I'm not afraid of you.
00:22But explain why, Doc.
00:24You know, we can get injured
00:26in our lower extremities,
00:28but also in our upper extremities,
00:30in our arms and hands.
00:32If it's in the upper extremities,
00:34it's more problematic.
00:36It's more scary.
00:38We can't ignore it
00:40because it can be a symptom of a heart attack.
00:42Right?
00:44Here, it's like you're feeling dizzy.
00:46You're sweating.
00:48We're not afraid of him.
00:50Maybe later,
00:52a lot of people will come to them.
00:54What we're saying is,
00:56sometimes,
00:58it's better
01:00to have more knowledge
01:02so that
01:04we can avoid it.
01:06So, let's learn more about polycat.
01:08This is our easy lesson
01:10for you.
01:26Liza Belarmino is 46 years old.
01:30This will happen to her
01:32once or twice a week.
01:34My feet hurt.
01:36The muscle here
01:38seems to go up
01:40to my navel.
01:42When I'm attacked,
01:44it's only for a short time.
01:46But the pain is still there.
01:48Of course, if you still have pain,
01:50if you're not comfortable,
01:52you should go to work.
01:54Liza has been selling
01:56polycat for a year.
01:58She suspects that her work
02:00is the reason for her polycat.
02:02When I'm selling,
02:04I'm always standing.
02:06I'm always standing.
02:08I buy soft drinks.
02:10I have to stand.
02:12Liza's experience
02:14is not far from Daniel,
02:1636 years old.
02:18He's been a product sealer
02:20in a warehouse for 10 years.
02:22Since I started my work,
02:24I've been using a sealer
02:26on my feet
02:28from morning to afternoon.
02:30Maybe because it's hot.
02:32The sealer is hot.
02:34I'll get wet.
02:36Then,
02:38at night,
02:40that's when I get attacked.
02:42She's given polycat
02:44while sleeping
02:46once or twice a week.
02:48It hurts.
02:50It really hurts.
02:52It's not enough.
02:54You have to massage
02:56the muscles
02:58so that the muscles
03:00will get stronger.
03:02From 20,
03:04up to 20.
03:06You have to stop it
03:08because it will go up
03:10if you don't stop it.
03:12To reduce the pain,
03:14she stretches her legs.
03:16According to her studies,
03:18polycat is the sudden
03:20contraction of muscles in the body.
03:24It usually happens
03:26at around 20.
03:28One of the known types of polycat
03:30is the so-called nocturnal cramps
03:32where the patient is attacked
03:34at night or early in the morning.
03:38This is also the polycat
03:40that Daniel and Liza experience.
03:42If the sleeping position
03:44is wrong or they've been sitting for a long time,
03:46they might experience
03:48nocturnal cramps.
03:50It happens if
03:52potassium and calcium in the blood is insufficient
03:54or
03:56the body is dehydrated.
03:58There's also a high chance
04:00of nocturnal cramps in the elderly.
04:04Usually, as the person
04:06gets older,
04:08there's a higher chance
04:10of nocturnal leg cramps.
04:1250% of these people
04:14are usually over 50 years old.
04:16If they experience
04:18polycat at night or early in the morning,
04:20it can also be a sign of
04:22diabetes and hypothyroidism.
04:26We brought
04:28Dr. Pua, Liza, and Daniel.
04:30Doc taught them the right stretching
04:32for their polycat legs.
04:36Every time there are cramps,
04:38what you need to do is
04:40push the knee straight
04:42and push the heel
04:44towards the toes.
04:46The whole heel
04:48should be straight
04:50and not raised.
04:52If you can't fall,
04:54just lean forward.
04:56If you can feel it,
04:58not just 5 seconds,
05:00but 10 to 15 seconds.
05:04The stretching exercises
05:06should be done 15 times
05:08until the polycat is gone.
05:12Aside from these,
05:14there are things you can do
05:16to avoid nocturnal cramps.
05:18First, you can pour
05:20lukewarm water.
05:22Then, you can pour
05:24cold water on the affected leg
05:26to relax the muscles.
05:28Drink water
05:30to avoid dehydration.
05:32You can also drink vitamins
05:34to make sure
05:36you have enough potassium.
05:38And of course,
05:40consult a doctor
05:42or specialist
05:44if it still hurts.
05:46The next time you encounter
05:48a polycat or a cramp,
05:50don't just ignore what you feel.
05:52With the right knowledge
05:54and advice from Doc,
05:56you can avoid pain
05:58and attack the polycat.
