Avatar m tn The b6 is in both of the supplements, one because the health coach thought it would help with my stress and high cortisol levels 35 (high end range being 19) Its also in the vessel care for a gene issue where I don't absorb folate correctly. FT3 ranges were 2.0-4.4 for those >19 years FT4 ranges were 0.93-1.7 I know I am definitely not a medical professional, but the free t3 doesn't seem low at 3.1? I am waiting for a call back from her to see what is up.
Avatar m tn My source and refers to a most recent study to link calcium supplements with heart attack risk among women has researchers encouraging people over age 50 to get their daily recommended 1,200 milligrams of the mineral from food sources. The study published this week in the journal BMJ supports previous findings, and the lead author called for a reassessment of using calcium supplements to fight the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis.
Avatar f tn The Dr put me on Bystolic, but it was samples and there is no information on side effects. I have started having stomach problems and acid reflux lately. Can the Bystolic be causing this? What would be other good choices?
Avatar f tn m on Ramipril 5mg od, 81m ASA od and was prescribed Atenolol 25mg qam. Since reading the side effects I am very nervous to start this med. I love to run but am I at a high risk for stroke if I don't start this? BP readings are well controlled. Can I productively run,swim and bike still?
Avatar n tn The side effects from Zetia....muscle weakness, joint pain, upper respiratory infectikns resemble the symptoms of malabsorption of Vitamin A,D, E and K. Our bodies need cholestorol to help coat our nerves and help with brain function and it naturally increases as we get older, so why are we trying to lower it, could this be why we are seeing so many people with dementia?
Avatar f tn Health professionals with the University of Michigan Health System report that treatment with CLA supplements may negatively affect the function of your blood vessels, which may elevate your risk of developing heart disease. Additionally, CLA supplements may also increase your blood sugar levels and may exacerbate diabetes symptoms in affected people.
Avatar f tn To prevent unwanted side effects, avoid vitamin supplements that contain mega amounts -- more than 100 percent of the recommended daily allowance -- of particular nutrients and those that promise miraculous benefits.
Avatar m tn Totally agree with you every drug I have ever been given has side effects and some long lasting ones, check out the ADD forum and see what drugs parents are giving to their children with horrific side effects, and experts have said that supplements have as good an effect as some of them.
Avatar m tn Creatine is thought by some researchers to be harmful to the kidneys. You might be one of the lucky ones who have that problem. It also does affect how the body uses water, requiring that you drink more water than you would need otherwise. There's also no known dosage for it and no good studies on any long-term side effects mostly because most people who take it aren't taking it under medical treatment.
Avatar f tn Unless you have experienced the full brunt of side effects from statins, you can not state "just stick it out". The side effects are unbearable. I finally asked my doctor if it was really healthier that i went from someone who worked out at the gym 5 days a week to someone gobbling pain medicine and laying on the couch. I had no life on the meds and so, I opted to take the risk.
Avatar f tn This is the exact same thing as a Statin without the dangerous side effects. In fact, it is the main ingredient in Lovastatin, but, the labs have not had a chance to ruin it, therefore, it is safe. I would try this and see how it works, it might be the answer you are looking for.
Avatar f tn If your husband is suffering from the anemic side effects, he should increase the amount of Iron in his diet. Depending on his age, supplements might be the way to go because consuption of too much meats may increase cholesterol levels. You can by over the counter supps call Feo SoL at any drug store. Usual dosage is 325mg by mouth per day, usually taken first thing in the morning. Please talk to you doctor first though, that way he/she can monitor platelet levels appropriately.
Avatar n tn As lagoya mentioned, you may or may not experience side effects. If so, they range from annoying side effects to serious side effects. If it's helpful, when I took flecainide, I had weird dreams, shakiness, tremors and gastointestinal problems. It wasn't horrible, but it was bothersome enough that the doctor switched me to rhythmol. Great suggestion from lagoya on checing out the medication under "Health Topics" above.

Avatar m tn IMO, the best thing a person can do for good health, including heart health and brain health, is to eat a healthy diet. I'm not saying some supplements don't have their place, but nothing can take the place of eating healthy whole foods. The next best thing a person can do for good health, and some would rate this first, is to get regular, appropriate exercise.
Avatar n tn I do smoke cigarettes and have coffee every day, which may also increase these side effects. I am nervous for my health, but do realize that for the most part I never get these tics or nervousness in my heart. My heart rate usually does not increase and I do not have shortness of breath.
Avatar m tn I had very sim reaction to that drug, They really did not know enough about this drug when it was first perscibed to paitiants , Topamax , Neuronton ,sorry type Os no glasses, GABA drugs can be used for many different reasons, For neurological pain, seizures, bipolar disorder,, at times they replace drugs like depakot as that drug has very negative side effects like wiegh gain tremmer,blood sugar problems ,etc, also depending on other drugs you are on it can and is used as a booster, so it may b
Avatar m tn What are these herbal supplements used for? Since herbal supplements in general are not regulated by the FDA, I would be careful as they may or may not be 100% of what they say on the label. Because supplements are "natural" or herbal, they still are not without side effects or ingredients which you might be sensitive to or which might cause adverse reactions within your body.
