No rabies cannot be transmitted from person to person even if they are in very close proximity. Rabies is almost always transmitted through an animal bite or extremely rarely from direct exposure to an infected animal’s saliva.
There is no particular sleeping position that reliably improves restless leg syndrome. Some experts suggest sleeping with a pillow between the legs, but this approach is of uncertain benefit. Even if a position is found to be particularly helpful, people move around while sleeping so it’s impossible to reliably adopt a single position throughout a night’s sleep.
Standard treatment of this condition includes moderating caffeine intake, getting regular exercise, distraction (such as working on a crossword puzzle), massaging the legs, and application of heat to the legs. A number of medications can also help, including carbidopa-levodopa or gabapentin. If iron levels are low, supplemental iron can be effective as well; the cause of iron deficiency should be investigated.

To help reduce acid reflux you want to limit foods and beverages that cause the lower esophageal sphincter to relax during digestion. Examples include coffee, chocolate, fatty foods, peppermint and spearmint. Limit acidic foods that make the irritation worse when they are regurgitated, such as citrus fruits and tomatoes. Also avoid carbonated beverages, as burps of gas force the esophageal sphincter to open and can promote reflux.

• Bile duct obstruction from a gallstone or stricture in the duct
• Red blood cells breaking down at an abnormally fast rate, known as hemolysis.

Dysphagia is the medical term for difficulty swallowing. Swallowing difficulties fall into two general categories: oropharyngeal and esophageal. In oropharyngeal dysphagia, it’s challenging to move chewed food toward the back of your throat so you can swallow it. In esophageal dysphagia, it feels like something is stuck in your throat when you swallow. You also may feel like food gets stuck in your chest on its way down.
Anhedonia is the inability to take pleasure in usually pleasurable activities. Nothing is fun — not eating, playing, socializing or having sex. A person also can't experience satisfaction at work. Anhedonia is best known as a symptom of depression. In fact, many people with depression don't report low mood. Instead they describe anhedonia, or flatness in their day-to-day lives.
Withdrawal symptoms generally begin 12 to 24 hours after stopping caffeine use but can appear within 6 hours. So it’s not unusual to notice the symptoms in the morning after drinking coffee the previous day. On average, withdrawal symptoms last one or two days, but they can continue for as long as two weeks.
Headache is the most common withdrawal symptom, experienced by up to 50% of caffeine users. Other symptoms are fatigue, low energy, decreased alertness, and depressed or irritable mood. Intellectual performance, vigilance, and psychomotor speed decline.
