Avatar m tn http://www.hivandhepatitis.com/2008icr/aasld/docs/112108_c.html i would consider this only for inactive carriers with no virus replication at all, it is better to wait furthur studies for those who has virus replication and i don't think this is a strong cure for them.
Avatar n tn I currently take 150mg of Zocor per day. Recently i have developed a cough, which I can deal with but when I cough I get pain shooting though my head. It takes a few minutes to go away and then things are find. Should I be worried.
Avatar n tn Kevin, I am a 52 yr old female. I am a 2 1/2 yr Breast Cancer Survivor...(YEA!), so, I have done this drugs takin' away my hair thing! My hair came back thicker, curly & less grey! Well, my Dr. put me on Zocor for high cholesterol 2 mos. ago...I noticed about 3 1/2 weeks ago that there was more hair in my brush...and, it felt thinner. Well, it's getting BAD! I called my Dr.
Avatar f tn It is difficult to say why there is such a variability (37-42% vs 60%) from your nuclear test and your echo and LV-gram that was done during your cath. However, all three of these tests use different modalities in determining ejection fraction - some are done via a calculation and others done just done visually. If the EF of 60% was reported during your cardiac cath (by a ventriculogram) - that would be the one I would rely on the most (as that has historically been the gold standard).
Avatar f tn Why is it at night we feel more of these sensations then during the day?I have tingling feet, sapping pain senations, the bag of worms moving under my skin, and low back pain. I am waiting for a appt with a nero.
1703392 tn?1307450500 http://www.kcheart.com/t-healthEdPVCs.aspx The rogue cells that cause benign pvcs pay less attention to the heart's Pacemaker most of the time anyhow, and when the Pacemaker slows your heart rate for rest or sleep, the little buggers are even less under control. However, there's no harm to taking Xanax or a beta blocker as needed.
Avatar f tn Vytorin does a remarkable job of reducing your Cholesterol, much better than Zocor (Simvastatin) alone. However, Zetia doesn't seem to add anything to the picture as far as preventing heart disease is concened. But read this about Zocor: -"Zocor Users Not Warned of Risks: The FDA's June 2011 safety alert is the most serious of many warnings regarding Zocor and associated risks of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Zocor manufacturer Merck & Co.
Avatar n tn For two years I took Zocor for the purpose of lowering my Cholesterol. When I complained to my doctor about my body aching all over she suggested I discontinue using the Zocor for several weeks. As time passed I realized a lessening of body aches so I decided not to go back on the Zocor. It has now been 5 months since I have taken Zocor. Meanwhile, I have been losing weight (about 5 pounds) without changing my diet. I realized that my pants were baggy in the thighs and seat.
Avatar n tn Its good that he took you off of the Zocor, as statins have also been linked to liver damage (which, I am sure, is why he took you off of it). I would guess that you are going to find that your enzymes start trending downward after being off the Augmentin and Zocor. I would suspect that the combination of drugs (which are known to be potentially harmful to the liver) could have caused the elevation of your AST...but that is just my guess.
Avatar n tn For the past 5 or 6weeks I've had periodic episodes of nausea, bloating and indigestion. Now it's about everyday. I'm going to get an Endoscopy in about two weeks. I had one 13 months ago. It showed irritation of the Duadnal, Mild Gastritus, and a slight Hiatal Hernia. I had these same symptoms a little over a year ago for a while and then they just went away. For the past two weeks I've woken up every night between 12 am and 4 am with nausea. Pepto helps a little.
Avatar n tn I've been on Zocor for the last 4 1/2 yrs and never had any sleep problems, but everybody is different. Tell your doctor about it and see what he says/thinks should be done.
Avatar n tn Hello, I have been diagnosed with Fatty Liver about a year ago. It is from high triglycerides. I am on trycor. My question is ....my 6 year old has mono. And the last couple of days my side has been hurting, throat and I have swollen gland in my neck.
514523 tn?1215832667 8 I have high bloodpressure and have been on Diovan for 2 months . But My Dr. is giving me Toprol and Zocor too while I wait to see the ENDO . I am kinda scared to take all these meds along with what the Endo is gonna give me. Anyone with hyperthyroidism taking any of these meds and do they have bad side effects?
Avatar n tn Augmentin and Zocor have been known to be potentially hepatotoxic. Tylenol is safe, if it is taken as directed (less than 4,000 mg/daily). I imagine that those 3 drugs taken together can increase the potential for damage to the liver. Have you talked with your doctor about possibly substituting another lipid lowering drug...and getting off the Zocor? Are you still taking Augmentin? Remember to be careful about your tylenol intake...
Avatar f tn A MRI Brain Scan w/without contrast taken a month ago revealed a left perietal venous angioma along with chronic white matter periventricular ischemic changes more prominent on the left than the right. There is also a focus of deep white matter in the posterior left frontal region. My primary care physician told me there is damage and narrowing of the arteries; prescribed Zocor, diet, exercise and blood tests. I am 62-years old, a nonsmoker or drinker.
Avatar n tn I recently started Niaspan 500mg for high cholesterol and angina. I take it at night. On the 3rd night I woke at 4.30am feeling like my whole body was on fire, particularly my head and back of my neck. I couldn't stand the sheets on me, they felt like sandpaper. After an hour or so it went away. Could this be some reaction to the Niacin. It scared me badly. I am 71, also take valium.
Avatar f tn Is it possible to reduce without taking something like zocor, just quitting smoking? Rather quit smoking than stay on zocor. How concerned should I be?
1415174 tn?1453243103 I was getting uncontrollable shakes/shivering, for about 10 minutes then severe vomiting all night long with stomach pain. No aura and no migraine at the time. Blood work all normal, immunnoligy testing was normal and all GI testing normal. The closest my symptoms were was cyclic vomiting syndrome but I got this at around 23 years old. I would get these symptoms sometimes twice a month some times off and on. Usually, stress induced. Sometimes not stress induced.
Avatar f tn congrats tho!!
Avatar n tn After speaking to someone nausia has gone away my blood pressure was a bit high so he gave me pills for that same pills will help protect my kidneys i was told. Was also given a low dose of zocor for borderline cholestoral. Thanks for your help.
Avatar m tn From the information you provided, the specific reason for the defibrillator is not clear. There are several possible reasons why a defibrillator may be indicated, and I am not sure which indication you meet. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is implanted in patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.
Avatar m tn All three were in line along the length of my penis, fairly close together, on the shaft, and closer to the head. I masturbated frequently and vigorously the days prior to their appearance. That night a rash broke out on my waist line and the crease where the leg joins the hip. Same night I also had a dull painful ache along the left side of my penis and left testicle Day 6: Mid day the ulcer/abrasion had developed a white crust.
Avatar f tn They blame the Zocor and even put it in writing. My concern is whether or not an artery can clog up so quickly. Having had four heart attacks by age 50, I want to know what I'm dealing with or did they just miss the LAD clog during the October testing and procedure.
