1666434 tn?1325262350 Then about 2 weeks ago I go to the dentist and have an immediate reaction to Septocaine which contains epinephrine which has Sulfites in it, grrrr. Do I need a medical alert bracelet or necklace?
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.
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.

Avatar n tn It sounds to me more like a genetic thing going on. There is a dilution gene that might be coming into play here that I would suspect is more likely to be responsible for this. There are only a handful of breeds that are affected by the dilution gene, and the Newfoundland is one such breed. The dilution gene affects eumelanin, a pigment responsible for the black color, and phaeomelanin, a pigment responsible for brown colors.
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 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 Can anyone here tell me if ms has any effect on either of the hormones epinephrine or norepinephrine?
Avatar m tn it is not 250iu/ml, the test was made without dilution and it says superior to >250iu/ml.
Avatar m tn Does a trace amount of hiv blood, maybe a drop at most, survive in water if it is in about 2 cups of cold water? Does the dilution factor make it non infectious? Seconldy, does soap and water kill hiv virus ?
Avatar m tn Name: CSF - HSV 1 IgG ABS TO HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 1 Code: 9451CI Methodology: EIA REMARK : In order to achieve comparable relationship between CSF & Serum - 1. Pathogen Specific IgG in serum (dilution 1:404) & CSF (dilution 1:2) are run on CSF IgG HSV 1 kit separately (for which there are no established reference ranges) & CSF/serum IgG HSV 1 quotient calculated. 2. Total IgG in serum & CSF are run separately & CSF/serum Total IgG quotient calculated. 3.
Avatar m tn This is very Important , tell them you need HbsAg Quant with Dilution . Ask them to send the blood samples to Gurgaon . Customer Care no 011-39885050.
4703993 tn?1379768388 I found this tidbit in a journal abstract that you may want to show your doc: "Patients with syncope while supine also had sympathoadrenal imbalance before loss of consciousness. Sympathoadrenal imbalance precedes tilt-evoked and spontaneous neurocardiogenic syncope and correlates with concurrent skeletal muscle vasodilation. Sympathoadrenal imbalance may contribute to hemodynamic derangements precipitating neurocardiogenic syncope." http://www.ajconline.
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 m tn Ok assuming it's true then the challenge now is to find a place that does dilutions, and agrees to withdraw your blood, dilute it and send it to this lab. Does anyone have idea what lab this can done at preferably at California? Studyforhope, can you please review the attached PDF: http://www.speedyshare.com/wqKw6/HBsAg-Qualitative-1-2013.pdf and see if there is a possibility this might not work? I don't know why you can't view it.
1305767 tn?1361192676 t bad this time because they gave me nitrous but I learned they put epinephrine in the local anesthetic shots (it has something to do with helping the anesthetic last longer) So I'm thinking the epinephrine sends my anxiety level from like a six to a ten. Last November I had a tooth pulled and while the dentist was injecting the shot my heart rate got so high I almost passed out. They put a monitor on my finger and it was about 150! That is just crazy.
Avatar n tn Hi, You are talking about immunotherapy? If you are specifically found allergic to or having a hypersensitivity to the allergen or antigen of 'cockroach' - a solution with the antigen in many times dilution would be prepared and is given on a monthly basis or at fixed periodic intervals and the dilution decreased gradually - so that you are desensitized or are not allergic to it any longer. Let us know if that helps. You could post us if you have any other queries. Regards.
Avatar n tn m wondering with my heart problem how dangerous is it to get a dose of epinephrine and how will that affect my heart? I had an epinephrine dose in the early nineties due to a breathing problem, but that was before I was diagnosed with the mvp and atrial misfire.
Avatar f tn I have to go have a tooth filled tomorrow and I'm somewhat apprehensive about the anesthetic. I know most often the ones they use contain epinephrine because it's a vasoconstricter and causes the anesthesia to work longer. I know you can request the anesthetic without the epi but then it wears off quickly (like when they are drilling on your tooth). I asked my cardiologist and he said if I didn't get a big dose of the epi, if it was mixed, with the beta blockers I should be ok.
Avatar m tn t know anything about abott architect again but said they do quant by dilution method. May be the same. I think hardly anyone knows about abott architect in india perticularly North India.
Avatar m tn so since there are no diluitions the values very high are extremely precise, abbott architect needs dilution and if the tech makes a mistake during diluition there maybe an error of 500-1000iu/ml
Avatar f tn Hi, welcome to the forum, Epipen delivers a measured dose of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) using autoinjector technology, most frequently for the treatment of acute allergic reactions to avoid or treat the onset of anaphylactic shock. In certain cases it can be used to stop local bleeding. Epinephrine is known to act on the uterus through beta 2 receptors and can cause relaxation of the uterus. At term, it can prevent the contraction and delay the labor.
