accupril oral

Coreg 25 x2, and accupril (ace inhibitor). Latest echo shows no improvement of ejection fraction. Still 24 % after 8 months on meds. Anyone have any opinion as to chances of any improvement from meds at this point? LV has reduced moderately from 6.94. I believe my heart suffered damage from serious auto accident (BFT). I was hoping for signs of an improvement.

I have been on coreg and accupril for going on 5 months now, and was hoping that my heart would have begun to reshape itself somewhat by now. My particular concern, among many, is the abnormal arrythmias which I believe this LV enlargement is causing. Shouldn't there be some improvement by now? Any insight would be appreciated.

I had been getting headaches off and on 2-3 days before everything, and put it off as being my sinuses due to being in the heat. I was put back on Accupril 10mg for the blood pressure, and a month later my bp was stable 120/80 or less, althought my heart rate stayed high usually around 120 even when resting.

Subtracting diastole number from systole number is medically referred to as pulse pressure. Normal is 20 and a pulse pressure greater than 60 seems to indicate CAD. Pulse pressure: "The up and down fluctuation of the arterial pressure results from the pulsatile nature of the cardiac output, i.e. the heartbeat. The pulse pressure is determined by the interaction of the stroke volume of the heart, compliance (ability to expand) of the aorta, and the resistance to flow in the arterial tree.

I am an RN and my boyfriend has been type I diabetic for 28 years,having had better control for the las 5 years with an insulin pump. His BP is controlled, He's been on Accupril 40mg daily for approx 7 yrs. Hgb A1-c is 7.4. His kidney function test have been ok except for his latest BUN/CREAT ratio result of 29(the lab using 6-25 for norm). Should we be worrying, contacting a renal specialist and is there anything else other than tighter BS control and sodium intake that we can do?

Dr that did heart cath wanted me to start Linsopril ace inhibitor but several years ago I tried accupril and had partial swellin on my face so I was afraid to try another ace inhibitor but now I wonder if I should have. The cardiologist I first saw put me on Atenolol, Isosorbide and nitroquick. I was using between 4 and up to 10 nitros a day with these other meds so he added Ranexa. I worry because I have family history of cancer and I have a fatty liver.

I am told I need one ASAP, but still unsure if it is for hypokinesis or the fact that I have arrhythmias ( MANY PVCs, Vtach, and SVTs). Reason I ask is if my meds (coreg,accupril,spirinolactone,simvatatin) raise my EF (down around 15-20% presently), is it possible that there may be no need for ICD in say, 3-5 yrs? Well, that's again. Truly admire your insightfulness and helping others. And CONGRADS on your success ! Glad to hear ..

5 or 6 years ago it was caught on a EKG. I was put on Toprol XL ( I am also on Accupril for high blood pressure, Diltiazem for esophogeal spasms, Lipitor for high cholesterol, Metformin for Diabetes). The irregular rhythm has become increasingly common and causes dizziness, numbness in the limbs, neck, shoulder and face, chest pain that radiates to the neck and jawline and continuous head rushes.

Hi. I had an extremely strange experience yesterday during a cardiac dr visit. Anyone familar with my condition, I apologize in advance for it's repetitiveness, but feel a full explanation needed for complete understanding. I was made aware of my heart condition back in Dec when I went to ER with a bad gall bladder. The blood tests showed my BNP to be 1072 (extreme heart failure range) and my EKG was terrible.

The angioedema to lips is concerning. Do take ACE-inhibitor such as lisinopril or accupril? Do you have a dry cough with this? Could be a reaction to ACE-inhibitors.

You are asking the same question, even after being answered earlier that oral sex is not a risk. It seems that you either have anxiety issues or guilt issues. Either way, this forum will not help you with that. You need to seek out professional help for those issues.

What are the chances of getting HIV from either cunnilingus (eating a girl out) or receiving oral sex from a woman without a condom? I have done both recently and am concerned. Thank you.

Hi, I need some advice. I've had a sore throat for a long time, it started after I gave unprotected oral sex to a man(I'm a woman). We had protected sex. I did a home oral swab for gonorrhoea and chlamydia,which came back negative. I then had one done at the hospital again for gonorrhoea and chlamydia,which came back negative but at the same time a test at the doc came back positive for oral thrush. I had treatment for that. I still have a sore throat and now I have one gland up.

what kind of risk was that? first time I ever had any contact w/out a condom for oral.

A week ago I had oral sex w another man . I recd to completion and performed for less than a minute wo any known ejaculation.While I have been reassured that this is not a risk as expected I have a hard time being convinced of it . I have experienced nausea , chills , weakness . A couple of knew red spots on my abdomen and a dull headache. It is comforting to read that others have experienced symptoms whille being negative.

Hey have you guys ever tried oral sex with a fruit roll up ?

So i was in the hosp twice for preterm contractions. Dr gave oral meds to stop them put me on bed rest and no sex order and sent me on my way.... What about oral sex? I have heard that it's not the Same kind of contraction? ?? And technically it's the semen ripening the cervix she is worried about right? Help a mama out.

There is virtually no risk in him giving you oral, regardless of the details. Nobody has ever been infected this way.

Yes, it's a slim chance.

I have another question. A little over 4 months ago, I had brief oral sex with a guy that I really do not know to well. He did not ejaculate, but there is the chance of pre-*** and I had a cut in my mouth. I was tested at 3 and 4 months and he said that he was tested before our nite, I take full responsiblity for my actions, but I don't trust anyone. I'm getting tested at 6 months, but I'm freaking out. Can I get some feedback.

Doc, my question is; if a girl gave me oral, should I go to the emergency room for the HIV pill? I met her in the bar?

Welcome to our Forum. I'll be happy to weigh in, as well as to ask a few clarifying questions. First my assessment- I would put the odds at 90/10 that this is a longstanding infection in your spouse which has only recently been detected. The events you describe, the "inefficiency" of oral to genital transmission, and the rather low prevalence of high risk oral HPV all lead me to this conclusion. Now to my clarifying questions which might change my thoughts.
