Avatar m tn As I have already stated, it may be reversible damage i.e. once you discontinue the drug the effects over liver is reversed and it can be evident by monitoring liver enzymes regularly. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn What is clearly evident is that your lungs (specifically your bronchi or airways) are (genetically) very sensitive to the harmful effects of cigarette smoke and that continued smoking will very likely lead to progressive, eventually irreversible, lung damage. You ask “will i be able to smoke after recovery without the problem recurring?” The undeniable answer is NO. In fact the direct opposite is true.
Avatar n tn This one has lots of big words. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11294826 This one is long, but easier to read. http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic3740.htm It sounds like the effect can be temporary, or not.
Avatar f tn I am of the understanding that now that I have a 25 year history of not smoking, not even much second hand smoke, my lungs are back to being like an old guy who never smoked. You made the right decision stopping smoking, stick with it.
Avatar n tn t know where to post this question, someone knows if pde5 inhibitors and specifically tadalafil (cialis) are reversible enzyme inhibitors? and can you explain why from a chemical and pharmacological point of view? So, is the inhibition reversible or irreversible and why? I know it is not an easy question but I can't find on the internet this answer.
Avatar m tn Talk to your partner openly and discuss the relationship issues. Lifestyle choices like excessive smoking, being overweight and avoiding exercise are other possible causes. In such cases quitting smoking, losing excessive weight, and increasing physical activity may help some men regain sexual function. In your case, diabetes may be one of the reasons and you may need to change your insulin dose along with diet control as well.
Avatar f tn 00 for advair 250/50. This lasts 30 days. If you are diagnosed with emphasema, get a quit smoking plan going. I quit cold turkey the day I was diagnosed and have not smoked since, but did get paxil to help with the anxiety and anger.

COPD is not reversible but you can slow the progression to that of a normal non smoker. When they first told me mine was in the 70's I couldn't eat or sleep, I thought I was going to be gone in the next 5 years. It seems like I only found all the scary articles and post to read. Don't let it do that to you.
Avatar m tn Dear Frus, I am not a male, but many females that are bipolar are...well let's say extremely active sexually...hopefully with their husband or mate. Effexor and Lamictal, I have at different times taken them both for over a very long period of time because they always bring me back to center. You may think it is easier for a woman to have this dysfunction and so we tolerate the medication for a longer period of time. Not so. It was hell. But, when I leveled out....
Avatar m tn This side effect is possible but not common...in some cases it is not reversible..better to ask your doctor for other medications that you can feel safe with and not have to worry about this...ask him re Paxil, or Zolfot or Celexa,...there are many.
Avatar f tn There is definitely a connection between coronary heart disease and smoking, so you are right, smoking is not good for you (r heart).
Avatar n tn that is why they do blood work and have us watch for things and let us know what changes are happening, and will work with us to stop the medicine if they are having side effects that out way the risk. hope this helps and you should also talk to the doctor about everything you are feeling even if you have to ask it every time you see them.because this your child and you have every right to know everything there is to know.
Avatar n tn However, this drug may reduce blood flow to the hands and feet, causing them to feel cold. Smoking may worsen this effect. Some side effects include: symptoms of a very slow heartbeat (e.g.
Avatar m tn First of all, it should frighten you enough to want to quit smoking. Your risk of heart attack, stroke and amputation are probably greater than 75% over your lifetime if you continue on this path. With regards to the irregular heart beat a holter monitor is a portable cardiac device that one wears for 24-36 hrs to monitor your heart rate and any irregularity. It might be the first step to evaluate this process. think about if this is how you want to live your life?
Avatar n tn Reversible ischaemic changes means the oxygen is too low for exercise in a given area of heart muscle, but adequate when you are resting. Hence reversible (it recovers).
Avatar m tn sounds like your weed is laced kid. if your smoking **** that has you seeing stuff re-sell it for more and become rich cause WEED don't do that.. i wouldn't be smoking what you are smoking though, i tell you that much... quit that stuff asap.
Avatar f tn Left-side pumping chamber (ventricle) is enlarged, and coronary reversible perfusion defect (no significance). Myocardial perfusion abnormalities occur commonly among patients with HCM, hypercardiomyopathy (dilated LV) HCM. Fixed or only partially reversible defects suggestive of myocardial scar and/or severe ischemia occur primarily in patients with impaired systolic performance.
Avatar f tn I will be curious to what others will say here. I have not seen studies showing if these are all reversible. Many of them are repairable, but it could take a year or two. The other obvious long term effect is relapsing. There is an incredible mental draw. Another effect is lowered endorphin production, also lower seratonin. This results in low energy and depression.
Avatar f tn What are the side effects of smoking when pregnant? Did any of u girls smoke when u were pregnant? I'm 16 weeks and trying to quit but it a lot harder than I thought .
Avatar f tn Most people who are not having side effects are not posting and saying how great the feel. Some have mild side effects. Some have more troublesome side effects. No one has all of the side effects, somthing I kept telling myself before I started treatment. As I said in my other post to you, post as soon as you notice any side effects and we will try to help with remedies. One thing for sure, if you develop side effects, get on top of them immediately or they could snowball.
Avatar n tn But i stopped for almost a year with no problems. never really a big user. but recently i smoked alot over the past week. and i stopped smoking and drinking all together a day or two later because i was feeling really wierd. i get butterflyes in my stomach, sometimes randomly feel dizzy, disconnected from people and things.. i feel the best when i wake up in the morning and then it kinda starts through out the day.
