Avatar n tn Examples include having a low thyroid level (hypothyroidism) or an electrolyte imbalance, such as too much potassium in the blood. Some medicines for treating heart problems or high blood pressure, such as beta-blockers, antiarrhythmics, and digoxin.
Avatar f tn You should NEVER trust advice about medications you get on forums. If you ask this question to a cardiologist on expert forum, he will probably answer that he won't give advice on meds, and neither should lay people like us. I 100% second Ireneo and her opinion on letting doctors handle your meds. It seems you have some kind of bradycardia (slow heartrate) and your BP is low.
Avatar f tn I am a 35 year old woman. I have dealt with "skipped heartbeats" occasionally since I was about 20. But the last week has been HORRIBLE! It's so bad at night that I can't sleep, convinced I'm gonna die. I also have major shortness of breath. Went to the doctor yesterday and mentioned I've been taking a lot of potassium lately "for my health" she said I was killing myself! Apparently potassium can increase dis/arrhythmia if you're already prone to them.
Avatar f tn Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland), electrolyte imbalances, such as abnormal blood levels of potassium. . Heart medicines, such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, antiarrhythmics, and digoxin can slow the heart rate. I have not found any side effects for the symptoms you have taking adderall. Hope this helps. Thanks for your question and if you have any further questions you are welcome to respond. Take care.
1399363 tn?1462342610 I read about mineral defiency, electrolyte imbalance, hormonal imbalance have something to do with it. Because a lot of people said they experienced that and it has helped them. But how do i know if i have this imbalance situation going on? Which one is high and which one is low and how much should i take? I cant just take all of them (calcium, magnesium, potassium,vit b) because if i ended up getting it too high/imbalance then it will make it worse.
Avatar n tn During af I got bisoprolol (not good, stopped), Digoxin and Dilmin (not good, stopped). Digoxin and atenolol were left until I got Multaq a week before electric cardioversion. Atenolol has been very good for me to prevent tachycardia for tens of years. Most betablockers are not good for me. Calcium blockers are not good either, eg. Verapamil is forbidden. I don't know Crestor and Cartia. Do you know to what group of medicines they belong? Now I have been without af over nine months.
Avatar m tn Sometimes muscle spasms and cramps are cause by an electrolyte imbalance (such as a low magnesium, potassium, or sodium level). Dehydration can also cause muscle cramping, etc. If you don't think that you are dehydrated then I suggest you see your primary care doctor and have some blood work done and a physical to see if you have an electrolyte imbalance. I would start with this and see if you can find a cause with your primary care physician. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Avatar n tn The electrolyte imbalance would need to be in close proximity chronologically to the palpitations. I'm no doctor but I find it unlikely that there is a tie between a past history of bulimia and a current bout with arrhythmia. More likely is you are just getting older, making you more likely to have the various benign arrhythmia that are available. To give you an analogy, bulimia might be similar to withholding gasoline from your car.
Avatar n tn Causes of small, flattened or inverted T waves are numerous and include ISCHEMIA (blocked or partially blocked arteries), age, race, hyperventilation, anxiety, drinking iced water, LVH, drugs (e.g. digoxin), pericarditis, PE, intraventricular conduction delay (e.g. RBBB)and electrolyte disturbance. Abnormal T waves has many causes and your post indicates ischemia as the cause. Any EKG test requires other evidence to make a diagnosis.

Avatar f tn Hence kidney and liver function tests should be done. Other causes are diabetes and hypothyroidism. Electrolyte imbalance too can cause nausea. Please discuss this with your GP or PCP. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar n tn It is not an uncommon EKG tracing, often meaningless and requires supporting evidence for any dx. There are heart drugs e.g., digoxin, quinidine, tricyclics, and many others and there can electrolyte abnormalities of potassium, magnesium, calcium that will cause an non-specific ST- The electrical impulses follow a conductive pathway and non-specific intra ventricular indicates there may be a right side interruption (in matter discussed, can be left side) to an impulse causing dyssynchrony.
Avatar n tn Could be a magnesium deficiency or electrolyte imbalance. You might try a magnesium supplement, mineral supplement, and/or sports electrolyte drinks.
Avatar f tn I am a healthy 52 year old female, fit, and exercise daily, non smoker. No history of chest pain. I went to Mexico and took my first scuba dive lesson. Due to a malfunctioning regulator, my lungs filled with sea water and I almost drowned. I struggled to breath for almost 2 hours before reaching a clinic. I was given diuretics, steroids to dry out my lungs and put on oxygen. I'm not used to the heat and lost a lot of fluids.
Avatar f tn Firstly, I am worried that I am low on electrolytes which is apparently quite serious but am not sure if it is bad enough to actually do anything about it. Two obvious reasons for an electrolyte imbalance are that I exercise quite a lot and don't drink much water, also I abuse laxatives.
704329 tn?1518523098 Dysautonomia, hypotension, hypoglycemia, concussion, vascular compression, renal disease, hormonal imbalance, electrolyte imbalance; and many other conditions can cause those symptoms. If they are recurring or persistent symptoms you need to be evaluated by a doctor.
Avatar f tn The symptoms could be due to many causes like low blood pressure, low blood sugar, heart causes, electrolyte imbalance, liver and kidney dysfunction, stress, panic disorder, or even due to hormonal imbalance of menopause. You need to immediately consult a doctor who can examine you and run tests to rule out these causes one by one. You could also be having a mini-stroke. If you cannot otherwise get a doctor, I suggest you rush to an ER. Eat something and drink fluids and see if it helps.
Avatar n tn Heart muscle damage usually is the result of a heart attack, but there can be other reasons such as electrolyte imbalance, medication, alcohol, virus, drugs, etc. or it can be an artefact (error).
Avatar m tn Not directly, but yes, if high cholesterol is also associated with abnormal liver function, hepatitis or fatty liver. Nausea can also be due to acidity, gastric reflux, electrolyte imbalance and food intolerance. If symptoms persist consult your PCP. Take care!
Avatar m tn There are various causes of tachycardia. These include heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, electrolyte imbalance, medications, caffeine, alcohol, smoking, or other recreational drug abuse, and psychological stress or anxiety. It is important to consider and treat the cause of the tachycardia, rather than just treating the condition. Simply slowing the heart rate could cause more harm if the rapid heartbeat is a symptom of a more serious or long-term problem.
Avatar f tn In large amounts, can cause an electrolyte imbalance – and severe electrolyte imbalances can lead to muscle spasm or even congestive heart failure. Baking soda: In large amounts, can cause an electrolyte imbalance – and severe electrolyte imbalances can lead to muscle spasm or even congestive heart failure. Bones: Can cause obstruction or laceration of the digestive system. Broccoli: Toxic in large amounts. Caffeine: Affects the heart and nervous systems.

Avatar m tn Possible causes that may need to be considered include neurological lesions, low blood sugar, electrolyte imbalance, metabolic issues, hormonal/ endocrine causes, micronutrient deficiencies, neuro-degenerative causes etc. I would suggest considering a detailed evaluation by an internist or a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
