stress reduction lessons

I had asked this question before, but never really god an answer and I haven't done this yet so I wanted to see what the proper medical opinion was. I'm 35, have a history of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart palpitations (I'm on medicine for all three). I'm considering taking a scuba diving class and I've seen various recommendations stating a person with a history of heart disease MAY have to have a stress test before scuba diving.

hey north east....it takes awhile to find that stable feeling again. time heals all wounds so they say... im proud of you not using around the medicine..good job. and glad you passed. when we use drugs for a long length of time we re wire our brain....we change the chemicals in the brain. and it takes time to reset our brains. we want to feel GOOD RIGHT NOW...but we didn't get sick in a day or week or month...so how come we think we can instantly feel GOOD again? does that make sense?

before Trin's hasty departure(s) she wisely pointed out that I'm on tx and not making sense so take the following with a grain of salt. If anyone can show me where I'm making a mistake I'll be grateful - so far it looks to me as if Merck should be taking poker lessons from Vertex's Bob Kaufman. First there's the issue of how he convinced the street tela response among naives was 79% when vertex's own data indicates at least 5% less, but never mind that.

I had a myocardial profusion scan awhile back but did not complete the resting part due to very bad reaction to radioactive tracer.It said" there was a reduction in the tracer uptake within the septum proximally and also within the anterior wall in the region of mid ventricle.gated acquisition shows no thickening or motion abnormality.

ve done screwed up high school and have 54 lessons left to get done in 2 weeks, kids calling me names everyday again saying how i asked for it, how horrible i was for putting my best friends dad in prison, at least this way i wont be a complete drop out, i'll have a GED.

These tests look at completely different things, so yes. Its alot to break down but basically.. Stress tests look at electricity and wall motion. Ct angiograms look at blood flow. Contrast mri and nuclear medicine looks at perfusion (how well muscles soak up blood). So you can have a 48% reduction in blood flow, resulting in a 68% reduction in pumping action/wall motion and a 20% loss of perfusion all in 1, yes.

my parents tried to do everything to take it under control, they start send me everywhere, to karate, dancing, swimming, piano lessons, acting lessons, painting, different language courses,etc. to distract me, that worked for a while, but when I moved out from my parents house and start to live alone, my bad habits came back to me... It's like I'm in kind of coma and I can't get out of it!!! I think I need help!!

reducing the amount of reaction to stress is usually accomplished by meditation or stress reduction in the individual, but for a pharmeceutical treatment, most doctors turn to SSRI's. These drugs increase the amount of seratonin in the brain, and this reaction has the side effect of making you less emotive and therefore less "stressable." Again....very good question.

Personally I would risk 75mg/day reduction while above 150mg/day, but stick to 37.5mg/day reduction for each step down from 150mg/day. When it comes to antidepressants, always get doctor advice before implementing a reduction program. As always, my comments do not constitute doctor's advice --- always see a doctor before changing any medication for stress or depression.

It sounds more like you're in a moral quandary about masturbating than anything else -- many people masturbate when they're stressed, as it's a release and a whole lot healthier than using drugs as so many do. But there are other ways to relieve stress if that's an issue for you, such as meditation, breathing exercises, and exercise.

How does stress affect IOP values? Do stress reduction techniques help in reducing IOP?

I am the mother of three boys. They are 22 21 and 11. My 21 year old is one of the most disrespectful people I know..I am moving into a new home. Originally I planned to let him move with me. But his mouth is so nasty he keeps me stressed out and he upsets my 11 year old. I am 20 weeks pregnant and nd my doctor is concerned with the stress he causes me. I've decided being in my house is not analternative...

First, I want to congratulate you on the awareness you have of your stress level, and for reaching out for help. Many people walk around chronically stressed and do not even realize it. Awareness is the first step. One of the most important and hardest lessons for caregivers to learn is how to take care of themselves. It is impossible to effectively care for someone else when you are not caring for yourself. You cannot control everything, but you can control some things.

I had Bariatric curgery a year go in Jan that plus the reduced reading lead to a reduction in my Levothyoxine from 225mcg to 200mcg. However i have been under some stress due to a grievance i have placed at work, and the stress could ALSO come from the high TSH reading.

Over the past few years I have watched myself get worse and worse with anxiety, stress, mental fog, concentration problems, body aches and pains, severe miagraine headaches, two different kidney stones, three major colon surgeries and the list goes one. One year ago I began to have severe stomach cramps and pain. I went to the ER on 4 different occassions, 3 trips to my GI doctor and 3 trips to my surgeon.

Smoking results in reduced blood supply to tissues and affects healing from surgical procedures. In a typical breast reduction, while the nipple is not removed, it is carried on a pedicle flap to its new location. The flap has a reduced blood supply that can be further compromised in a smoker. Smoking is well know to compromise circulation to skin that has been elevated at the time of surgery. Stopping smoking for several weeks before a surgical procedure is not the answer.

I recently had a cardiopulmonary stress test done, and I'm having a hard time interpreting the chart/summary. Is it ever okay to have a drop in blood pressure with an increase in speed/grade?

I am not sure if this is from stress of school (he is adjusting well now) or the shots. We are trying the stress reduction (as much as one can with a 5 yr old!), and magnesium. Can any of you guys let us know if these tics subsided, how long it took or if they are still continuing PLEASE.
