Avatar f tn My Endo told me when starting out on Synthroid and also each time he raises my dose that I may have some palpitations or "heart flutters." Each person is different. I have noticed them a bit, but nothing terrible. He said it should go away within a week or two after in your case, starting the med...in mine, when he raises it. Nothing to be alarmed about.
Avatar f tn Recently had a EKG (actually two) and it suggested a prior mild heart attack. I am scheduled by my cardiologist for a nuclear stress test. I was questioned about any chest pains and could remember none.

The doctor said sometime the injection will go straight into my blood system and cause this .

Avatar n tn Hi! I am a 56 yr. old, slight build female. In 2007 I had a heart attack during an exercise class, and one of my arteries received 6 drug-eluting stents.

Pain does not occur with physical exertion.
Avatar n tn sounds like a panic attack to me. You're not listing some of the more worrisome symptoms of a myocardial infarction. But please, do not rely on anonymous internet users for a diagnosis. You should be speaking with your doctor.
Avatar m tn You could stop the medication like BlueYankee suggested but you would more than likely take that at a higher dose along with many other medications after your heart attack or other organ failure. The side effects of lisinopril I don't think include any of the problems you say you have.
Avatar f tn Hello, If you Google for ' ramipril side effects ' or simvastatin side effects ' you will get more details. Ramipril has been indicated to cause sexual problems, but both these drugs can affect liver function and in turn affect sexual performance.Further more, statin drugs can cause muscle weakness and may lead to a drop in overall energy level.

Avatar f tn s Desk Reference) and read the side effects, or go to the drug store where you obtained the medication and INSIST on the "FDA INSERT".

In any event, go to the FDA site and file the form for potential drug side affects, as well as contacting the prescribing physician.
1153903 tn?1307740400 as an option to vote on, are you trying to wean off medication? This may have also been a bad panic attack, but with all the factors involved, it's hard to say. Be happy you survived this and realize that drinking while on these meds is serious stuff. Your body tried to give you subtle hints when you drank before on this medication, I guess it felt you weren't listening. I was going to say that "I'm not coming down on you," but I guess in a way I am.

1608566 tn?1298196868 I think they have enough to put up with having the heart attack with out drugs that make you feel worse. Did it take you long to get used to them.
Avatar f tn When I had a second one in late 2006, I went back to my doctor who ran an EKG and an Echo and found that my heart was fine. That attack seemed to be caused by a strange sensation of my throat closing and difficulty swallowing when it really wasn't. After the doctor ruled out any heart issues, he suggested that it might be stress. I've had a few more since then but they haven't been nearly as bad since I now know what they are.
266195 tn?1215310411 Particulary those involving the heart. I googled prozac and cardiac side effects and found all kinds including heart blockages, arrhyhtmia, heart failure and so on, is this really a possibility? I think i'd rather suffer through my attacks than worry about those side effects.

Avatar m tn Metoprolol is like the Tic-Tac of beta blockers. Lots of people take it with little aide effects. I take 75 milligrams per day, but have been on as high as 200 milligrams per day.The dose you have put yourself on is extremely small. Metoprolol's half life is approximately 5 hours. If you do the math, you will see there is very little left of the drug in your blood when you take your next dose.
Avatar f tn I experienced all of those side effects except the heart burn, but only at first. After awhile my body seemed to get used of the drug. I also gained weight on Depakote. That is the reason I am not on it now. I have back problems and the extra weight was brutal. Soon as as switched to Topamax (which has weight loss side effects) I lost the extra weight plus. Seizure meds are tough. They all have very extreme side effects.
Avatar m tn Hello, It is true that accutane has plenty of side effects. It may cause cheilitis and dry lips but thinning of skin and hair loss are less frequent side effects. From your symptoms first of all hypothyroidism should be ruled out. The second possibility to be ruled out is of vitamin D deficiency.
