I take once monthly Actonel. While I was pushing the pill through the foil blister, it broke. I did not take that pill for fear that it could cause stomach problems. My question is would it have been safe to take? Also, if I contact Proctor & Gamble, do you think they might replace the pill. If it was a daily pill, I wouldn't worry about, but I just lost a whole month of medicine due to a faulty package design.
I have severe osteoporosis and am trying to take Forteo. I started out with half dose and have worked up to a full dose. The full dose 2 days in a row was disabling. My doctor suggested every other day. So I let the previous trial work its way out of my system for 5 days and tried another full dose. This is three days after the dose and I am weaker each day. I move in slow motion. My doctor is puzzled. Anyone had a similar experience?
Non-hormonal biphosphonates (such as Fosamax and Actonel) increase bone strength and are available as once-a-week pills. These can also be taken.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
The structure of the heart and that includes wall dimensions, chamber size, valves, valve compliance, and heart functionality is evaluated and measured by ultra sound referred to as echocardiogram. A doppler test can be part of the echo examination and it color codes the blood flow through the heart and any backflow is easily identified (regurgitation).
The heart functionality is determined by the percentage of blood pumped with each heartbeat and referred to ejection fraction (EF).
There may be a different perspective for analysis of Marfin disease or a bicuspid aorta valve. These conditions are a tissue disorder and are more vulnerable and there should be no heavy lifting and absolute control of blood pressure.
Thanks for your question and if you have any further questions or comments you are welcome to respond. Take care, and I wish you well going forward.
The rightside vetricle of the heart when enlarged is usually due to pumping againist high resistence of the pulmonary artery and/or lungs. This condition is oftened due to pulmonary artery thrombosis (clot) and/or pulmonary emboli (clots). Thanks for your question, and if you have any further questions or comments you are invited to respond. Keep us informed.
on a Transthoracis Echocardiogram Test I have 3 valves Mitral, Pulmonary and Tricuspid regurgatating trivial and mild in the Tricuspid Valve. Does this mean I have Pulmonary Hypertention? I also had right atrium and right ventricular dilatation on a 2007 and 2008 report. This new report says decreased in size of the right atrium and right ventricular. Does any one knows what that means? How and why would it decreased in size and why would it be dilated in the first place.
Look at the millions of people for example who have had a heart attack and some heart muscle has died and turned into scar tissue, their collaterals didn't open. My main left artery completely blocked, and yet I didn't know until years later when another vessel blocked and had an angiogram. I didn't know because lots of collaterals had opened and kept me alive.
I would just ask 2 questions because there are no guarantees here.
1. Did they use drug eluting stents or just plain ones.
After all that has been said I can also just confirm: familial cholestorol is the primary reason for CAD's (coronary artery disease) and other heart related problems. My mum has CAD since her early 30's and Ischemic heart disease she is diabetic and she has Porphyria but she smoked all her life (quit 10 yrs ago, but the damage was already done), she is obese and unhealthy diet.
but now with chest pressure and a bit burning sensation feeling. I went to a hospital and took a blood test, ECG and chest x ray and everything is fine. The doctor is guessing maybe it is acid reflux that is causing the burning sensation so gave me some Famotidine. Because it will have some side effects so I took Gaviscon double action tablet instead. The burning sensation did not get better but it seems to move down from my chest to my abdomen area and continue to burn for like 24 hours.
Yes, your current symptoms can be related to ASD. For some insight a large ASD (>9mm), there will be shunting (blood flow from left atrium to right atrium). The extra blood from the left atrium may cause a volume overload of both the right atrium and the right ventricle. If untreated, this condition can result in enlargement of the right side, The increased size and overload will effect the entire lung vascular system and eventually pulmonary hypertension.
Plavix works much like a blood thinner to keep blood cells from sticking together and forming additional clots. The Metoprolol and Ramipril are both used to control your blood pressure by slowing down your heart rate and keeping your heart from being "over worked". These can be difficult to get used to and can cause fatigue, dizziness and a feeling of being disconnected.
No one test can diagnose heart disease. Tests to help diagnose heart disease include: electrocardiogram, stress testing, echocardiography, chest x-ray, blood tests*, electron-beam computed tomography, coronary angiography and cardiac catheterization.
* Blood tests can include total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, Lp(a), Apo A1, ApoB, CRP, homocysteine, BNP, fibrinogen, blood glucose/insulin, vitamin D, testosterone, estrogen.
I wrote last week about my dog, Lucy, who is 11 and is having trouble with choking. Well, she had x-rays and it's what I was afraid of. She has heart disease. Her heart is enlarged and she has some fluid in her lungs. The vet gave me Lasix and I'm going to also put her on Vetmedin. Anyone have any experience with these meds and, if so, how did they work?
