Avatar n tn Activating these pathways encourages remarkable weight loss and hormonal balance and provides many other benefits towards healthy aging. Maintaining Healthy Cells by Resolving Inflammation The epidemic of “Metabolic Syndrome” is now recognized as abdominal obesity, rising cholesterol, and pre-diabetes. Evidence shows that low levels of generalized inflammation and cellular stress are linked to insulin resistance and weight gain, and this creates an avenue for the Metabolic Syndrome to develop.

During spontaneous loss of consciousness, all 4 patients had an increase in plasma epinephrine levels (mean 3.8 times baseline), and no change or a decrease in plasma norepinephrine levels (mean 0.86 times baseline), so that the plasma epinephrine:norepinephrine ratio increased substantially (5.3 times baseline).
Avatar f tn Epinephrine is the a hormone and neurotransmiter. It is produced by the adrenal gland an is a "fight-or-flight catecholamine." So is norepinephrine. In biochemistry, the prefix "nor" means that norepinephrine is an analog of epinephrine. They function quite differently in the body. epinephrine is most commonly thought of in terms of t effect on the sympathetic nervous system - increasing heart rate, increasing blood pressure, hyper alertness, etc.
Avatar n tn Namaste, Clinical studies of Cymbalta have shown that up to 11 percent of people taking Cymbalta reported a loss of appetite, and up to 2 percent of people reported weight loss. On average, people lost about one to three pounds while taking Cymbalta.
Avatar f tn I had similar symptoms for years - the hot flashes, insomnia, mood swings, terrible periods and some weight gain. I kept telling my doctor I felt like I was heading towards menopause. The blood test always came back normal. Even up to a few months before my last period, I was sure menopause was just around the corner. The blood test said everything was normal. Sure enough, a few months after my annual exam, I had my final period. Everything has mellowed out and I feel wonderful.
Avatar m tn Or is it possible to have plain and simple high blood pressure at my age and weight? Can high blood pressure cause a fast heart rate? My doctors I noticed did not check my lipid profile.
Avatar f tn It's the epinephrine in the anesthetic that causes the racing heart, etc. Next time you're at the dentist and you need/want an anesthetic ask for one WITHOUT epinephrine. The medication generally takes a little longer to "kick in" and wears off faster, but your dentist will work with you for maximum comfort.
Avatar n tn t breathe at all, and I had to have an epinephrine injection). My next options, and the options my doctor is really pushing me for would be to try a Beta Blocker (Inderal) or Topamax. I'm concerned about what the beta blocker will do to my blood pressure/heart rate as they are already low, and also how my asthma will react. At this point, my asthma, which had been under control for years, is out of control. I have an appointment with a specialist, but that's still a ways off.

We have two forum members that can vouch they reversed their diabetes and are back to normal by doing so. "will try the lotion (though lubiderm did not seem to help)." Use Cetaphil cream [large jar] not lotion. Cream moisturizes better according to my dermatologist. You might consider posting on the Dermatology forum.
1817071 tn?1366228243 I have had a ton of dental work done and I remind my dentist every time no epinephrine. Also something to be aware of...if you have a tooth crowned when they are doing the crown prep they use a string coated in epinephrine to retract your gum prior to making the impressions. It is equivalent to about 3 shots with epi. They have string that does not have the epinephrine so be sure to remember to ask if you are having a tooth crowned.
787406 tn?1339203183 Sorry you are having such troubles. If yours is like mine, it just keeps going on and on. Did the dr check the arenals? You might want to do the 24 hour saliva test, most insurances don't cover this. It is about 99.00 from canaryclub. See if he will check for a pheochromacytoma(sp).
Avatar f tn I had to get stitches last night, and was given 5-6 shots of epinephrine and lidocane. I told the intake nurse I was taking synthroid (which I presume implies thyroid problems). I felt a little "unusual" afterward (pounding heart, feeling calm and detached..), and was googling the side effects of the shot.. an article said this: "Additionally, epinephrine and lidocaine usually aren’t used in patients with thyroid disease, or disease of the kidneys or liver.
1131237 tn?1260211024 Now my new doc wants to add a norepinefrin to my or something else since my siutation healthwise is so despairing at times....plus with Zoloft, weight loss is almost impossible, which would help my health issues. My doc says at times when someone has been on Zoloft for so long the brain quits making the serotonin needed. I am on a morphine pump and that also does not help in the depession department . I have two children still at home, and one is a paraplegic.....
Avatar f tn s left after the epinephrine is spent, and normetanephrine, the inactive metabolite of norepinephrine, which they also measure). But it sounds like from what you are saying that it doesn't block the emission of epinephrine, just the action it takes- I'd suggest if you don't hear quickly from your doctor you consult a knowledgeable pharmacist for their opinion.
Avatar n tn I had a 2nd trimester miscarriage the day that I had a mole removed at my dermatologist. They used Epinephrine and Xylocaine and when we received the autopsy report it revealed that my baby was perfectly normal and healthy without chromosonal issues prior to him dieing in my womb that day. Has anyone experienced this or known anyone who has? I researched on the web and found many warnings about pregnant women receiving Lidocaine from the dentist but not what they gave me.
787406 tn?1339203183 I am tired all the time, I have ocular migraines every morning, dizziness, feet pain, leg pain, knee pain, arm weakness, weak bladder, constipation, diarrhea, stomach cramps, swollen lymph nodes in neck, weight loss, hair loss, Livedo Reticularis, heart palpitations, Vitamin B12 deficient--being treated, Vitamin D deficient-already treated, skin burning pain, depression andhigh nor-epinephrine level and the list goes on and on.

Avatar f tn Involved is the sympathetic nervous system that prepares the body for action...oftened referred to as the "fight or flight" response to a stressful situation. And it quickly does the following and heart rate is only one factor: Increases strength of skeletal muscles Decreases blood clotting time Increases heart rate Increases sugar and fat levels Reduces intestinal movement Inhibits tears, digestive secretions.
Avatar f tn So far I always got eye drops without epinephrine/or something equal to epinephrine, but this last eye doctor did not want to use any drops at all. He examined my eyes without dialating them.
Avatar n tn welbutrin is one of the easier ones to stop, since it has a long half-life. Also, it is a weak dopamine and epinephrine inhibitor, unlike the SSRIs (prozac, etc) Still, it should be tapered off. There may be a little discontinuation syndrome- the symptoms of this are a little anxiety, maybe some crying jags for a few days.
Avatar m tn Hi, It is a serotonin and nor epinephrine reuptake inhibitor. The name of the neurotransmitter is nor epinephrine it is different from epinephrine. Most of the side effects occur during the period when one is taking the medication. But the important thing to remember is to follow the doctors instructions carefully. To reduce the incidence of side effects it is always started with a low dose and then it is gradually increased.
Avatar f tn s the epinephrine that is in the lidocaine. You can ask your dentist to use an anesthetic without epinephrine, I have had tons of dental work and always ask for that. Dentist doesn't mind at all and I've never had any problems. It doesn't last as long but if you start to feel anything while they are working the dentist will just give you more. I have done fine with it.
16361457 tn?1449652821 Yes-- I have had root canals, and today I had to have a tooth pulled where a crown was previously poorly done by a dentist I went to for many years. He got careless with the care he provided as he got close to retirement. Now I need to get an implant. I should mention I have major head and neck pain and issues from previous whiplash and some very bad falls and concussions. It is uncomfortable for me to get dental work in general.
