Common Questions and Answers about Gastroenteritis and icd 9
gastroenteritis
I do know that if you should need the shock and no ICD, I think you know the answer. In my opinion, and I base this on what the doc told us, then I came up with this, and they agreed. The damage to the heart from A-Fib, would be far greater than the damage from the shock. Gosh, I am sorry for going on and on. Hope I haven't scared you. Would really encourage you to ask your cardiologist these questions. He would be the best to answer them. Like I said, I have given my opinion.
I also was questioning a ICD as I have a left bundle branch block and my EF is now about 25%..I did have an ablation for my wolf parkinson white syndrome.which has helped..But they say my heart muscle is a bit enlarged
I have no problem breathing unless the humidity is very high..No problem when laying down and no swelling in the legs ...When I take coreg for the heart muscle i feel awful hurting everywhere..
The ICD can be programmed to sense when ventricular tachycardia is occurring, and administers a shock to stop it. The ICD may also be programmed to send a burst of paced beats to interrupt the ventricular tachycardia. Anti-arrhythmic drugs may be needed to prevent repeated firing of the ICD.
Of course,the fear of V-tach is that can lead to ventricular fibrillation, asystole, and sudden death. For now, put your hope in the ablation procedure and go from there.
Doctor then recommended that I get an implantable defibrillator coz my VT could lead to sudden death. I accepted to have the ICD installed and this was done 10 days ago. I am now getting used to life with and ICD. I still have questions as follows:
1. I am still keen to hve catheter ablation carried out in next 24 months when i am off medications.Is this advisable?
2. If Catheterablation is successful, I would want the ICD removed as its very restrictive to my normal activities?
I am a 25 year old female and 9 days ago at work I felt very hungry so ordered a large sandwich, I couldn't eat it all as I came over very hot and feeling very ill, since then I have barely been able to eat, I started with cold like symptoms, sickness and diarrhoea. Once the illness part of it past I felt absolutely fine, yet, I still can't eat much food at all, the smell of food makes me nauseous, I am getting heart burn all the time.
They took another blood sample before and after meal and that time it came back as 90mg/dl fasting and 120mg/dl after meal which used to my regular level. I am non diabetic and quite a concious on health. The doctor is also clueless and told me it might be due to severe dehydration and infection that has risen my blood sugar level.
While we all know that the defibrillator saves lives, I read that every electrical shock, whether warranted or not, will further weaken the heart, leading to a higher and faster mortality. We are very scared now and do not know what decision to make.
Do you have relatives in your family who did not benefit or got worse while having the defibrillator?
I went up there and took her to the doctor and she was basically told is was a stomach virus (gastroenteritis) drink plenty of fluids and it should go away in a couple of days but when I look up Gastroenteritis it says that it's common in people with weaken immune system caused by HIV.
She took her 3 month birth control shot the morning before but I'm sure that didn't cause Gastroenteritis. My question is should I be concerned about HIV at this point.
My daughter is 14 months old and she has has watery diarrhea and vomitting. When she was born she was perfectly healthy, but once I had to return to work I began to give her formula and that's when she began to have these complications. She began to have watery diarrhea and vomit. I took her to the doctor and they said she had gastroenteritis, but it's been a while now and she is still the same? Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong? Thank you.
Hello! I seem to have unfortunately caught gastroenteritis. I was given Ondansentron and it helped immensely. However, I can't sleep. I'm so wired and my stomach still hurts but luckily, no side effects. Is this normal? Is it the gastroenteritis or the drug?
(The hollow right under your ribs, in your upper stomach) Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, malaise and general aches and pains. For most people symptoms subside within 1-3 days but you're contagious much longer. You can still pass the virus through your stool for 2 weeks or so and it can survive on surfaces for a long time too. Just take it easy, eat bland foods and rest a lot.
I’m a 51 year old man who was a competitive long distance runner until 2012 when I suddenly went into VT during a 10k. I had an ICD put in and was still running, though not as intensely and not as far. Recently I had some episodes, even at rest, and was put in this Solotal just yesterday. I hope I’ll be able to run still. I’ll understand if it’s not too much.
The later ICDs are more sophisticated and do a better of of identifying V-tach correctly and attempt to pace me out of V-tach before shocking. In the course of replacing tone ICD, I got an infection and the ICD and leads had to be removed and placed on the right side. Through all of this, I continued to exercise, but gave up competitive racing.
In the last couple years, the V-tach returned about 1 or 2 times per month.
