epipen

Avatar n tn I was rushed to emergency, given benedryl and sent home 4 hours later. I got an Epipen for I was told, although rare, that I could have a secondary reaction within the next week. Sure enough November 5 I had a second reaction (bi-phasic reaction). I was given the epipen by my mother for I passed out and couldn't give it myself. Back to the hospital.
Avatar n tn m also allergic to several medications (antibiotics) and my doctor said I might need an epipen when I take them to keep me alive until I get to a hospital. Just about all antibiotics close my throat. But I thought epipens contained epiphenephrine, and was told by a friend that it's bad for those with a heart arrhythmia. Has anyone here with PVCs had to use an epipen for an anaphlactic shock reaction, and if so, was it safe for the heart? Thanks.

And his it dangerous I have to many shoots?????
Avatar n tn Hello I have severe reactions from insect stings especially bee stings. Its so bad that 1 or 2 stings will put me into anaphylactic shock. I have over 5000+ PVC's a day and the docs say it is a supposed benign condition. (which I do not believe). My wife has never had a pvc or palpitations. Anyways, I have to carry around a epipen everywhere I go. Last year I was working in my back yard and was stung twice, once in the face under the eye and once in my arm.
Avatar n tn Hi, welcome to the forum, as such epipen are not available yet. 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. Alternatively, the same drug can be given by the local health care provider or you need to go to emergency department.

645800 tn?1466860955 I am very allergic to bee and wasp stings to the point that I can die from a sting within about 1/2 hour or so. As a result I am suppose to carry an EpiPen with me at all times ( especially since there are a lot of wasps and bees around my home ). But despite this the couple of times I have been stung I have never been able to give myself the much needed shot. And to make matter worse I always have 2 reactions to each sting.

Avatar m tn My husband was diagnosed with cirrhosis 18 months ago and has had 7 varices banded since then. He has completely quit drinking and chewing tobacco. 3 months ago he went in for a check up and the doctor said he had 2 small varices banded. The doctor said they were small and really didn't need to band them, but since he was in there decided to band them. He placed him on the standard 15 lb weight limit.

Avatar f tn The most important things for weight loss is to calculate BMI and calorie intake requirement. Diet should be planned with more proteins and fibre, less carbohydrates and fat. On an average 2-3 kilos should be lost in a month. You should right and healthy. Never skip a meal. Also a fitness regime needs to be fixed. I would suggest that you visit a nutritionist and fitness expert for further assistance. Best.
Avatar f tn 7x110=770 The amount of daily milk required: 770ml The amount of daily water required: 7x150=1050ml Supply water besides milk: 1050ml–770ml=280ml Divided into 5~6 times per day 3. Malnutrition is caused only when above mentioned prerequisites not provide adequate nutrients which leads to Marasmus or Kwashiorkor which are main conditions that cause serious consequences due to malnutrition.If you need more details get more questions.
Avatar f tn You may need an Epipen if it becomes more severe but in the meantime see a physician and buy some Benadryl.
Avatar f tn I have carried an epipen for the last 11 years for my son and Thank God we have not had to use it. But I was wondering if anyone did have an experience like this and had to use an epipen. Or if you have any information on urticaria pigmentosa? ( I know alot about it but I always would like to know more. Please share any information you may have or experiences you incountered.
Avatar f tn Yes, I take Rebif as well and I don't have any injection site problems. I just started 3 weeks ago though. But I take it at night right before I go to sleep. If I do it during the day, I get realllllllly sleepy. Hope everything turns out ok!
Avatar n tn Low end of range= Body weight (lbs) x 0.5 = (ounces of fluid/day) High end of range=Body weight (lbs) x 1 = (ounces of fluid/day) For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, your approximate water requirement will be between 75 and 150 ounces each day. When to Drink Water During Exercise Begin the day with a large glass of water each morning, whether it's a training or a rest day.
Avatar f tn I've noticed recently that my daily calorie goal has decreased by about 30 calories or so over the past two weeks. Is this supposed to happen? Is it based on my weight loss goals, my past calorie intake, my updated weight etc? I don't update my weight everyday, but since using this app I've lost about 3 or 4 pounds, and I've never exceeded my calorie budget.
Avatar f tn Also keep a track of calorie intake and your work out. 0.5-2 pounds a week is decent weight loss. The weight loss may be slow initially due to the muscles building and would gradually gain pace. With gradual consistent efforts, you should be able to lose weight as desired in a healthy way. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar n tn Hi all, I am a 40+ adult that is lactose intolerant. My mother suggested that I try the over-the-counter, once a day pill to help me cope with eating on the road and hidden dairy in foods. I have done well with it until yesterday. I have never pushed the limits of this pill because I know the regular "lactose chewable" pills will not save my digestive reaction if I blatantly pig-out on dairy, but it does help for traces of dairy.
