Avatar m tn The last thing the periodontist said to us was if we had to choose between the periodontal and orthodontist was to get the teeth straightened and if there was problem we could then address that problem.The last thing the orthodontist said to us was we should have a strong foundation to start the straightening process. We are now so confused we do not know which way to proceed. Should the periodontal work be completed prior to the braces or what???????
Avatar f tn I took my first dose of Alendronate and then experience significant muscle pain for the next 4 days. Does anyone know if I should expect this to happen each time I take it or is it something to happen for the first few times until my body adjusts to the medicine?
Avatar n tn Do you mean Fosamax (alendronate)? If you do, its for treating bone problems like Osteoperosis by adding bone mass and slows bone loss. I use it for Osteopenia.
Avatar m tn 5 centimeter supra-orbital bone tumor that has been completely stable on scans since 3 and 1/2 years ago. I have had a continuous intractable headache behind my forehead which has not responded to the usual headache therapy regimen. It is believed to be monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the skull. I have found articles to suggest that high-dose bisphosphonate therapy (40 mg/day for 6 months) offers a significant improvement in patients with fibrous dysplasia of the skull.

Avatar m tn I am a 48 year old white male, and I have already had a total of 5 heart attacks (all within the last 5 tears). At first my doctoer thought it was due to my low HDL, as it has been lower that 28 for the last 5 years. But after my last attack, about 3 months ago, the doctors are now thinking that my body is trying to reject the 3 stents the have pkaced in me. This last attack was pretty serious, and we are planning to have a defibri;ator implanted later this month.

Avatar n tn What a great question. I'm probably much older than you, but this question goes back maybe 40 years when Jim Fixx had some heart trouble, gained weight, and started running, and wrote a bood called I think "The Complete Book of Running". I live in an area (Oregon) where the book was embraced and our moderate weather summer and winter is conducive to running. Jim Fixx indeed died some years later I think when running, but...
Avatar m tn Hi, My husband has had 4 Heart attacks due to blocked arterys and been admitted to hospital a couple of nights ago with severe chest pains a stress test was done and the test stopped due to VT ( 6 Beats) Can you explain this please.
Avatar n tn When there is angina due to coronary occlusions, heart cells are being deprived of blood/oxygen and that can slowly reduce the number of good functioning heart cells and eventually heart failure. Heart attack may never happen, but heart failure as heart cells die. If you are taking medication and that does not relieve chest pain, then you should have interventional treatment...what are the episodes?
1205539 tn?1267682217 ve been having heart palpitations since Halloween 09 it come along with fear of dying and high anxiety, the first 2 times it happened to me I took an ambulance to the hospital thinking the worst....
Avatar m tn My heart was racing, heart palpatations, sick to stomach, hot flashes, trembleing, etc. Took a Xanax right away. Thank God for those! I've been under a lot of stress with on & off attacks since Wednesday. I'm explaining all of this just to let you know I understand what you're going through & you are certainly not alone.
Avatar f tn Barnes’ patients who quit the study and discontinued thyroid hormones suffered fatal heart attacks within 6 years of stopping their thyroid hormones. In 1976, four years later, Dr. Barnes published his book, Solved: The Riddle of Heart Attacks. I suggest you read the aforementioned books and studies carefully and draw your own conclusions. To me it is quite clear. But to the majority of Medical Professionals and scientists, it is perhaps as clear as ...
1570981 tn?1295831355 I am pretty positive that they are not heart attacks you are experiencing. The pain would be very intense and you would end up at the hospital for sure. Hang in there and I hope you are able to get some answers very soon.
Avatar n tn well i believe that if the arteries that pump blood to your body get clogged up, then your blood starts to build up in your heart and eventually it gets to be too much and your heart explodes. killing you and your family at the same time. and your friends. so be smart and eat, sleep and...do something else right. and you wont be in the kind of pain my family went through.
Avatar f tn In my case, I have had heart attacks and have a couple of stents in my RCA. I suffer with alot of chest pains. So much so that I recently went to the ER thinking it was another heart attack. While there it was found that I suffer with coronary artery spasms and they do put me down. I have to stop what I am doing and wait for it to pass. There are other reasons for chest pains, and I wish there was a way to stop these.
Avatar m tn LDL 191, HDL 42, Total Cholesterol 261 and my estimated Coronary Heart Disease risk is 1.3. Do I have a serious emergency issue? Side note I took other tests, if you need other figures to answer my question, let me know. Thank you so much.
Avatar m tn This is what she said to me (the pain is so grate that I cant move, I feel the blood sudenly stop and then the pain comes, the pain is right on top of my heart, but this time it was strange the pain felt right bellow my heart) the thing about this is that she has had it since she was 17, and she gets these maybe a maximum of around 3 times per year and the attacks las around 1 to maybe 3 seconds. Question is ¿ Dose the heart have a reason to stop sudenly, then continue like this ??
Avatar n tn Hi Sue, As mammo said, it's great that this was caught early on, and I think the worst part of it is the unknown. I had an EKG done, wore a Holter monitor, and then had an echocardiogram done several years ago. There was nothing conclusive on the echo, but the technician did notice that my heart rate changed from 90 to 100 to 110. I was also put on a beta blocker and it's solved my problems.
Avatar f tn since i have started having panic attacks...my heart rate is always up..esp when i stand and walk and do normal activities...it races so fast..when i sat down it slows down again.i have took all of the test and everything comes out normal,my heart looks fine.
Avatar m tn In other words,the temporary fast heart rate and anxiety will not cause you to have a heart attack or damage your heart. You dont have a heart problem just because Marijauna made your heart race. It also doesn't mean that it will happen if you smoke it again. However, it COULD cause your heart to race again and obviously you didn't like it so why try it again? Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Hey my name ia izzy when I first started having panic attacks my heart rate was always high after.... The put me on a beta blocker and it's working for me, maybe u just need a higher dose ... How high dose ur heart rate get and what is it at rest...
1131131 tn?1275108488 Since then I have been focused on my bp and heart rate. I saw my therapist today and we talked about my compulsive need to check my pulse and lately my blood pressure. We talked about the body's amazing ability to actually do what we are thinking and worrying about. I do at times have periods when my pulse increases (usually when my klonopin begins to wear off). I am still adjusting to the klonopin since I have only been taking it for three weeks.
Avatar n tn hey thr same here i thought i was dying. i smoke pot and cigarettes and i thought i was having a heart attack im only 20 years old so i guess a heart attack is silly but it hurts breathing sometimes like when i take a deep breath it hurts. hopefully you get everything worked out.
