Monday, August 19, 2013 on the Doctor Ira Breite Show on SiriusXM 81: Doctor Radio!

We are getting into the heart of the summer.  Which, of course, means, that we are getting ready to get back to real life pretty soon.   For adults, that means taking your blood pressure seriously.  For kids (and their parents), it means dealing with those 'back to school' stomach aches.  And for everyone, it means questions about the health issues they have been 'benignly neglecting' since Memorial Day.  We are ready for it all.

Starting with high blood pressure. Join me and hypertension expert Dr. Henry Black as we talk about why its important to control your blood pressure and what you need to do to keep it where it should be.

Then it will be time for Gastroenterology Update.  Find out some of the latest and greatest news in the world of digestive disease and ask me your questions at 1-877-NYU-DOCS.  Short question...tweet me!

Why do kids always complain about going back to school?  Let me rephrase that...why do kids always seem to get belly aches when its time to go back to school?  Join me and Pediatric Gastroenterologist Dr.  Joseph Levy as we help you figure out whether that stomach ache is just the back to school blah's or whether its something more serious.  Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS.

We will end the show, as always, with 'Ask Doctor Ira,'' where you can ask me any question on any medical topic at all: anything you forgot to ask your doctor ask me!  Give me a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!
