Common Questions and Answers about Epinephrine dosage calculation

Avatar f tn Hopefully, this starting dose of Synthroid will make me feel ok. I heard it can take up to a year or more (YIKES!) to find the correct dosage. So I don't have any experience with Armour, but I did find this website: http://www.drumlib.com/dp/000016.htm that may help you do the calculation. Since Armour has T3, and synthroid doesn't, it's a careful mathematical calculation to line up dosing amounts.
Avatar n tn Why do the end of your last menstral begin the calculation of your pregnancy instead of the day you actually got pregnant? Wouldnt it make more sence 2start ur pregnancy calculation on the day u actually concieved? I dnt understand. My 1st week of pregnancy start Jan 25 but i didnt get pregnant til Feb 7th....
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 m tn I cannot carry a book of exchange values everywhere I go. Is there any simple , safe way to determine dosage. I do not want to experience the effects of low blood sugar ever again and especially when I am out and about in public or worse, driving a vehicle.
20794198 tn?1534529493 I had an ecg done with a HR of 104, and a QTc of 449ms. I didnt unfortunately get to see the QT mm, just the QTc calculation. 30 minutes later, it was repeated at 85bpm, and the QTc was down to 420 ish ms. I am baffled as i thought that with the higher heart rates, the QT interval should shorten and vice versa with lower heart rates. Yet mine did the opposite? Is this a case of overcalculation on the ecg's part as my heart rate was over 100?
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.
907968 tn?1292622204 I know with the antibiotics I use at work we choose which antibiotic works best for which type of injury or specific bacteria. I always calculate dosage according to species (mammals have a different calculation compared to birds or reptiles) and weight. Weight is very important. It doesn't seem to be so sensitive when it comes to humans. Back to heart meds, what works for one person with PSVT may not work for another. Thank goodness the docs have more than one choice to try.
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 Hi there, Vitamin B6 vitamin plays an essential role in the creation of serotonin, nor epinephrine and dopamine. These brain neurotransmitters are important for regulating our mental balance, mood etc.Defficiency of this vitamin leads to a decrease in the neurotransmitter formation and functioning which in turn can cause depression. A person should consume vitamin B6 as per his daily requirement.Potatoes, spinach, banana, walnuts and fortified cereals are the main sources of Vitamin B6.
Avatar n tn Hi there- I have the same thing going on- I can see my pulse - it is very strong-it moves both breasts and shakes my stomach,this started 3 yrs ago-Dr said it was anxiety and upped my xanax dosage. But I think this came from Levaquin (an antibiotic). It is very scary to me-had 2 echoes,holter monitor,event monitor,3-4 ekgs,an an aortic ultrasound.Everything came back normal.I was on 4 mg of xanax a day and still saw the heartbeat-sooooo,not anxiety.
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 f tn I have read of using a constant daily low dosage (100mcg) of vitamin K to resolve INR instability the theory being that the instability may be due to a vitamin K deficiency and the constant dosage gives a bias level for the coumadin to work against. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on this?
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 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 f tn They mentioned that they could do an US at week 5 or 6, which depending on the calculation could be next week or in 3-4 weeks. Does anyone know how this works?
Avatar m tn 40 ( times of exposure) x 1/2000 ( chance per exposure) x 0,5 ( since im circuncised) x 1/20 ( controlling for the fact that the girls may not be HIV positive, so im giving a 5% chance for that) Result: 1/2000 or 0,05% Would you agree with these calculations? Once again thanks so much for any peace of mind you might give me and others in similar situations.
Avatar m tn Muscle and joint aches are a symptom of hypothyroidism. They should go away once on the correct dosage. If they stil persist, you may need T3.
