Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen vs continuous indomethacin in the treatment of pda
ibuprofen
It’s a headache disorder that responds really well to Indomethacin (in fact for the most part it only responds to Indomethacin). In my case it only responds to Indomethacin. It took a year to dx me and in that time I tried many different treatments.
Some people are able to cut back on their dose of Indomethacin or stop it completely w/ no more headaches, I am unable to cut back or stop.
I have trouble tolerating Indomethacin and all NSAIDs.
i have been treated for migraine w/o aura for the last 4 years. none of the preventatives have worked and the triptans only relieve the pain to a point. the biggest problem with this new type of headache is i have a severe allergy to aspirin, ibuprofen, tramadol, ect. do you have any other suggestions? he said he would research it and we would discuss it at my next appt.
Muscular VSD presence shown in Eco. 1 baby is 1.5 Kgs and has PDA of 2.2mm which has just reduced 2mm with ibrufen medicine for first 5days. In 2nd baby it is 4mm PDA even after 5 days ibrufen medicine there is no reduction in size. Forunately both the babies are active taking almost 15ml milk feed. My concern is do we require any surgery to close this PDA. Also both the babies has diagnoised with muscular VSD, for which dr. mentioned it will close by itself.
[2] A series of small-scale studies completed in Germany found that H. procumbens was indistinguishable from Vioxx in the treatment of chronic low back pain,[3] and was well-tolerated after more than four years of treatment of H. procumbens alone.[4] H. procumbens also seems efficacious in the treatment of arthritis-caused hip and knee pain.
I can say that, in newborns, there is often a little right sided enlargement of the atrium and ventricle, as the pressure across the lungs is higher as a newborn, then drops over time. A PDA and PFO are both normal findings in a newborn. They spontaneously resolve, although a PFO can persist in up to 25% of adults. It may be too soon to tell if the PFO is a small ASD (actual defect), but either way, it sounds small and likely to not cause a problem.
Hemicrania continua respond to Indmethacin. Long term use of indomethacin can result in gastrointestinal adverse effects. Melatonin is a hormone secreted by pineal gland and is very similar in chemical structure to indomethacin without the risk of gastro intestinal side effects. That’s the reason melatonin is now being considered as an effective treatment option.
Patients with history of severe allergies are advised not to take melatonin in general.
Hope this answers your question!
This is exactly the case for me. All quiet until about 3:30 or 4pm, then they just take me by storm for a few hours, usually tapering off by 8pm. I asked my electrophysiologist about it and she dismissed the question, suggesting that it's just another "circadian" effect like hormones, sleepiness, etc. Well, perhaps so, but it's rather a bad time to have continuous PVCs, right in the middle of the day when one is working, driving, socializing, etc.
Right coronary artery (RCA) is usually the dominant artery which crosses the crux, the junction of atrioventricular and interventricular grooves posteriorly. Hence the PDA and PLV often arise from the RCA. The first two branches of the RCA are the sinus node artery and the conus artery. RCA also gives off right ventricular branches and acute marginal branches.
I have had a non-stop headache for 4 months now. It never stops. Instead the pain level varies between barely manageable to being so extreme I have to hide in a quiet dark closet away from everyone. I've been to my primary care physician and to a neurologist. They've tried numerous medications and I've had both MRI's and MRA's. The scans did find 2 very small aneurysms but the neurologist said that they are too small to be causing the headaches.
This disorder is more common in women than in men. The cause of this disorder is unknown. Indomethacin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), usually provides rapid relief from symptoms. Talk to your doctor about this. Take care and do keep us posted.
I am an active 62 yr old woman and have been experiencing bad headaches since November. The pain is niggling away all day long in the same place, the left hand side of my head. Suddenly it will explode into violent headaches and tender to touch, this happens on and off through the day but mostly during the evening. The only relief I can get is to go outside and breathe deeply the cold air. I find relief in around 5 minutes. Pills do not seem to help although I am taking 2 Amitrptytline at night.
I used to work as a medical professional ( not comfortable disclosing). However, it is really up to you and the surgeons. You should weigh out the benefits vs possible complications.
I encourage more than one cardiologists appointment.
You should see several from both a medical and surgical perspective.
Make sure that you are not using any products containing aspirin or NSAIDS (Motrin, Aleve), as these can make bleeding and bruising worse. Ice is best for the first 24 hours to decrease swelling and bruising, and after that using warm compresses (or muscle rubs) will help the body reabsorb the blood in the bruise.
I would go to the doctor and get it checked out. Pain can change your blood pressure and even make you feel like throwing up... keep us posted.
Heloo there, I recently got only a hand job from my girlfriend for about 15 minutes and after that the tip of my penis (just on the left side of it) got really red and when she touches there it hurts a bit. It just hurts when she is handing job me or oral. I never had sex, just these 2 parts of it. Do you think its just from the intensity of the hand job and it causes irritation or it is.something else?
If it lasts for more than 4 hours it could be chronic tension headache, chronic migraine or altered migraine or hemicranias continua. Indomethacin is the drug of choice in hemicranias continua. In fact the diagnosis is considered confirmed if a patient responds to Indomethacin. If you are a female and in menopausal age group then consult a gynecologist and rule out hormone imbalance and low estrogen as the cause of your headaches.
In his initial echo reports he had a small PDA, small ASD and Large VSD, now ASD and PDA have been healed. In his recent echo, doctor remarks that quoted "LV Volume Overload" and "Severe PH". His weight is now 3.5 KG
We consulted with Paeds Cardiac Surgeon and he is ready to do the surgery. But his cardiologist was saying to wait till his weight reaches at 4.0 KG. I need a suggestion that will it be okay to operate the baby now with severe PH?
Because it is asprin and asprin thins the blood and makes it harder for ur blood to clot! U could bleed out when in labor! Ibuprofen is on the can take side! I see a lot of post on here saying yes take tylenol ur doctors say its ok up to 1000mg. This is my 4th baby and every time my doctors have said no tylenol! Is my doctor wrong? Or is it a preference thing between doctors?
You are co-dominant, so both the left circumflex and the rca feed the pda. However, the pda is blocked by 90%. Due to the blockage of the PDA which is at the back of the heart, they may recommend stenting because it's more fiddly doing bypass surgery at the back of the heart. If they are happy with the LAD as is, then I can only see 2 stents required here, one for the PDA and one for the OM2.
