Rhabdomyolysis from a Patient Perspective – 319
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Carmen Solis caught the perfect storm of plane flight, elevation, dehydration, new protein shake, different environment and a slightly new routine to catch a case of Rhabdo.
Dr. Rehal Bhojani explains the facts as he sees them and gives great insight to us in identifying future cases of Rhabdo.
Urine color charts in every stall (male and female) are a top recommendation. Muddy / orange urine is almost always an indicator of Rhabdo.
Help prevent Rhabdo by easing your athletes back into workouts. Gone is the idea of “we are going to kill them and make men out of them.”

Paradoxical Vocal Cord Disorder – 317
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Myra Reed first experienced PVCD with an athlete, and has since had more than one athlete, especially distance runners.
Vocal Cord Disorder can easily be mistaken for Exercise Induced Asthma but is not the same. Mayra recommends asking “is your inhaler working for you” to help figure out if it is truly asthma or maybe something else. However some athletes have been diagnosed with both.
Pursed lip breathing: Form your lips as if whistling, breath in through the nose and out through the mouth focusing on slowing the breathing as you do 10 repetitions.
