Avatar m tn Doctor told me to take CARDANONE 100mg everyday but it gives so many side effects that i am not regular in taking it. My HEART BEAT GETS NORMAL after 24 hrs but come back after few days and again goes regular after 24 Hrs.WHAT SHOULD I DO TO HAVE NORMAL HEART BEAT as taking ATENOLOL in higher potency lowers my heart rate to 50 and below .
Avatar n tn What you have to do is get you blood pressure down. I am not familiar with Telmisarten 40, but assume it is a beta blocker or other medication that lowers blood pressure, and likely also pulse rate. High blood pressure can over a long period of time cause heart enlargement and many associated arrythmia problems, and in the worse case congestive heart failure. That's what understand.
336017 tn?1263579257 I had my aortic valve replaced in Oct 07. I had an echo done and then a CT scan a few weeks ago. I was told that my aortic root was dilated. My Doctor said in was 4.3 cm. Not to worry about it and that he would do another echo in 6 months. Is this normal? Why would it be dilated? I was told it was 3.5 cm before my operation. I have to admit, it's always on my mind. Should I be worried?

Avatar m tn I am 33 year male having hypertension from 3 years taking telmisartan 40 mg from last two years.Now my bp is under control comes under 130/85. I had urine albumin excretion test three times result shows between 100 to 75 mg/dl albumin excretion ( 24 hour urine albumin test on submission of around 1.5 liter urine).The normal values shows in lab report is up to excretion of 150 mg/dl/ .My serum creatinine level comes between 0.8 to 1.0 and urea under 20.
Avatar n tn The Telmisartan-HCTZ that was given will not make your creatinine low, it is to treat your hypertension and prevent further damage to your kidneys. It is also possible you have some protein in your urine which the Telmisartan helps to reduce. Also, Telmisartan can cause a slight increase in your creatinine but it is usually not a very significant increase.
Avatar f tn Recently my electrophysiologist had me cut metropol in half as my heart rate was consistently running in low 40s. My bp immediately went up so he had me resume full dose and instead cut cardizem in half. That was about 4 days ago. It seemed to be working ok until last night. At 8:30 p.m. bp was 108/67. I woke up around 2 a.m. with a headache on back right side of head plus shoulder pain. I have fibromyalgia so assumed it was from that. By 4 a.m when I took my dog out I decided to check bp.

Avatar n tn s doc says it might caz of too much of medicine use and thy say he got water in his heart i didnt get it plz anyone can help me to understand . he is 57y old .
Avatar n tn I am in the same boat as you. I had mine in 97. I too am having no symptoms. if you have gotten any answers since January let me know.
Avatar n tn I have not heard of EECP, and I will certainly research it and review it with my cardiologist. You are correct in assuming that I use a regimen of drugs to treat my heart failure, including lots of nitro throughout the day. I still exercise daily, but if I try to stretch it, my symptoms are appear, and my blood sugar spikes as a result of the stress on the heart ( or so I think). It is not uncommon in these circumstances to have my blood sugar go into the 400's.

Avatar m tn Am I in risk of a heart attack? what can I do about this?
Avatar f tn There are doctors forums where you can ask an expert your question. If you go to the top where it says forums pick Doctors Forums. This forum is generally attended by patients only. You should also probably seek out a doctor in your area to go see to be evaluated in person. That said, palpitations don't necessarily mean anything. the heart has to be evaluated to know exactly what it is you are feeling and if what you are feeling is dangerous to your heart.
Avatar f tn I am worried about heart failure. Do you think they would have been looking for heart failure when I went to the ER? And given the information I have given you does this sound like a possibility of heart failure?
Avatar f tn Im laying in a hospital bed at Baylor All Saints Hospital in Plano Tx. Im on a transplant list right now they have me on a heart pump until I get a transplant or I should say IF i get one. I am 21 years old I never thought this would happen to me, or little did I know it could happen to me being young. Im scared of dying the doctor said I wont live if I dont get a Heart soon.
Avatar f tn They may have a diagnoses of Heart Failure; Congestive heart failure would be more of a flair=up of the disease. Why does this person think she has CHF?
Avatar n tn find out i am in heart failure. less than 10% output. next day at 41% with drugs. x-ray shows enlarged heart. doctors say that chemo and /or virius enlarged my heart but a virus attacked my heart.1. what type of virus attacks the heart? 2. is my enlarged heart a product of the chem, chemo and virius, or the virus? where do i look for these answers?
Avatar f tn Hi all, Before I start, I should state that I am not looking for a diagnosis here, it would be idiotic of me to even think about asking for one given that no one here knows my medical history. What concerns me is this - for the last couple of years, I have been having spells of tachycardia and now have a resting heart rate of 110-130bpm. This constant tachy state leaves me tired and breathless.
Avatar f tn Heart failure is a condition in which the heart’s ability to supply the body with the blood is impaired. It causes a variety of symptoms that worsens gradually, thus interfering with the daily activities. Despite the deterioration of heart function and the seriousness of the condition, heart failure is not an irreversible condition. It can be treated if the patient provides enough compliance to his medicines.
Avatar n tn You really need your doctor to give you an explanation about your report. Your report indicates that a portion of your heart is not beating properly and your heart is not pumping efficiently. Did your report give an ejection fraction (EF%) by chance? That would help. In any case, no one here is qualified to tell you the implications of your report, please see your doctor.
Avatar m tn My Patty was diagnosed with Heart Failure 10 days ago, he had been doing pretty good, not liking taking his meds but now he is NOT wanting to eat and when we make it liquid and squirt it down his throat, it has started coming back up. He has no problem drinking and peeing. He is a month over 15 years old and my precious baby. Any ideas out there, he goes back to his dr in 2 days but I am about sick, his mom died of kidney failure and I hate to think this is happening to him.
Avatar n tn Heart failure indicates the heart is not pumping enough blood/oxygen to meet the systems demand. If the heart failure is due to heart muscle damage from a heart attack, muscle disease, etc., the condition may not get any better but can be controlled with medication and reduce any progression. Sometimes, as in my case, five years ago I had ischemiac (lack of blood flow) from occluded vessels and a silent heart attack. The heart cells were stunned and impaired the contractions (EF 13-29%).
Avatar m tn My BP stays around 170/100. Highest was recorded 176/110. I have been on Telmisartan 40mg for few weeks but it killed my sex drive entirely. I stopped taking it & gradually recovered from low libido. Also i've noticed a general decline in libido & an onset of ED after i crossed age 40. Now my libido is not that strong as it used to be 4 years back even without medicine.
