Anaerobic literally means "without oxygen." This doesn't mean the sensation of gasping for breath after you've climbed 15 flights of stairs; it is a little more complicated than that. It really just boils down to what fuel your muscles use to do whatever it is you are asking them to do.

The NYC gym Peak Performance is where celebs like Claire Danes, who trains with gym owner Joe Dowdell, get their sweat on. I just tried this anaerobic interval sprint workout for the treadmill created by Peak Performance trainer Kaitlin Kay. Let me just remind you that interval training is a great way to dramatically improve your cardiovascular fitness while also increasing your body’s potential to burn fat, making this a great workout if you are training for a race or trying to lose weight.

Definition
Anaerobic means "without oxygen." Anaerobic bacteria are able to survive and grow in environments that have no oxygen. Anaerobic exercise, such as weight lifting, does not require heavy breathing because it relies on energy sources other than oxygen.

Drug Restriction
In February 2007, the FDA announced that the antibiotic telithromycin (Ketek) should no longer be used for treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis. In June 2006, the FDA reported that several people had died of liver damage after taking this drug. Telithromycin is now only approved for treatment of community-acquired pneumonia.

DrSugar is in the house and answering your questions.
Dear DrSugar,
Sometimes after a rigorous cardio workout (one hour, doing intervals for the first half hour and steady pace for the second half), I come home and start feeling queasy and weak, then need to lie down. Sometimes I feel this way for an hour or more postworkout, well after I've showered and eaten.

Diagnosis:
Diagnosing pneumonia may be difficult, since lab tests to grow the bacteria from samples can take many days to process, and chest x-rays cannot always distinguish between pneumonia and other conditions. New tests have the potential to make diagnosis easier and quicker. One is a blood test that identifies a marker of severe inflammation in the body.

Smoking, certain types of illnesses (diabetes), older age, and other factors increase the risk for periodontal disease. If you have periodontal disease, your dentist may refer you to a periodontist, a dentist who specializes in treating this condition.
