A doctor answers various health-related questions from viewers, covering topics such as:
1. Whether holding urine for a long time can harm kidney health (it's not proven, but holding it for too long can lead to problems).
2. Not remembering dreams (it's not a problem, and some people naturally don't remember their dreams).
3. Seltzer water vs. regular water for hydration (they provide the same hydration, but seltzer water may not be suitable for people with acid reflux).
4. Consulting a doctor when sick (the doctor consults himself and uses resources for patients).
5. Cracking ankles (it's a natural variance among humans, but it can be a sign of underlying issues).
6. Feeling a heartbeat in hurt places (it's due to increased blood flow and inflammation).
7. Whether the heart stops when you sneeze (it doesn't, but sneezing can cause chest pain due to rapid expansion and contraction of the chest muscles).
8. Resting heart rate (a normal resting heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute, and a rate of 160 is abnormally high and requires medical attention).
9. Interaction with pets (while there's a risk of bacteria transmission, the benefits of oxytocin release and stress reduction outweigh the risks).
10. Removing white stretch marks (they're difficult to remove, but surgical procedures, laser treatments, and creams may help).
11. Why anxiety can cause more anxiety (it's a vicious cycle, and addressing thoughts through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help).
12. Passing out from sudden pain (it's a survival mechanism to prevent overwhelm, and it can be a sign of a broken bone).
13. Going to medical school with a disability (it's possible, but requires awareness of limitations and finding alternative solutions).
14. The effects of lack of affection on health (positive social connections and affection can improve health and longevity).
The video also touches on other topics, such as the importance of social connections, the benefits of oxytocin release, and the need to address underlying issues rather than relying on myths or misconceptions.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. A normal resting heart rate is between 60-100 beats per minute.
2. If your heart rate is above 100 beats per minute while at rest, there may be a physiological reason for it.
3. Substances that can raise your heart rate include caffeine, drugs, and stress.
4. Anxiety is a vicious cycle that can be managed through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
5. CBT can help individuals control their thoughts and reduce anxiety.
6. The average human bladder holds 16 ounces of urine.
7. Holding urine for a long time can cause problems such as urinary tract infections and loss of bladder control.
8. It's not necessary to empty your bladder completely every time you urinate.
9. Drinking water while eating can help with digestion and prevent overeating.
10. The body's digestive enzymes are not affected by drinking water.
11. Humans have survived for thousands of years despite drinking water while eating.

13. Aesthetic or plastic surgery procedures may be available to remove stretch marks, but they come with risks.
14. Creams may help with skin softness and suppleness, but they won't completely remove stretch marks.

17. Breaking a bone can cause nausea and passing out.
18. The scaphoid bone in the wrist is one of the most commonly broken bones in the human body.
