Perhaps most Hong Kong people have already heard of sleep apnea. As the name suggests, "sleep apnea" is a breathing disorder related to sleep. For patients who suffer from sleep apnea, their upper respiratory tracts may be obstructed due to various conditions. Sometimes the patients' breathing command could be affected by problems in the central nervous system, which would result in repeated suffocation during sleep. As this reduces the oxygen content of the blood, patients would suddenly wake up to take normal breaths and then fall back into sleep. Since the condition makes it difficult for patients to enter a deep sleep state and gain sufficient rest, their health and energy level during the day could take a toll.

Sudden severe hearing loss and deafness in one ear are both common symptoms of ear stroke. Ear stroke is also known as sudden sensorineural hearing loss. In as short as three days, the patients will suddenly lose part or all of their hearing ability. Meanwhile, they may experience sudden dizziness, tinnitus and earache. At the initial stage, many people would not take the symptoms seriously as they may think that it is only due to blockage of the ear canals caused by ear wax. Some may even think that the symptoms would disappear after a while, thus delaying the time for medical consultation. In fact, sudden sensorineural hearing loss is considered an emergency situation and the first two weeks after the onset of illness is the golden period for treatment. Once hearing abnormalities are detected, patients should seek medical advice as soon as possible. In the absence of timely and appropriate treatment, it could be difficult for the patients to recover their lost hearing. In the worst case, the condition may even lead to permanent deafness.

Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are diseases that involve both the physical and mental health. In addition to abnormal eating behaviours (anorexia / bulimia), anorexic patients have distorted perceptions of their body image and develop excessive dieting habits for the pursuit of "ideal" body shape. They would use various extreme methods in order to lose weight. Meanwhile, bulimic patients often engage in overeating, followed by feelings of guilt and the use of inappropriate methods to avoid weight gain. Thus, they are rarely underweight. In fact, it is not uncommon for adolescents and women to have eating disorders. In the absence of appropriate treatment, eating disorders can cause physical and psychological harms.

Do you easily suffer from painful feet after a long walk? Do you find excessive wearing from the inner part of your shoe heels? These signs may be related to flat feet. On the inner side of a healthy foot, there is a concave region called the "foot arch". As the characteristic of surfaces we walk varies, it is our foot arches to provide certain elasticity and torsion during walking and running, and apart from supporting the weight of the body while walking, the arches also help to avoid shock and maintain balance. For patients with flat feet, their inner foot arches have collapsed and do not form the shape of arches like healthy soles do while standing. Rather, their feet are flat and close to the ground. Flat feet are very common in children. With the increase of age or weight gain, a small percentage of adults may also develop flat feet due to various acquired factors.
