Avatar n tn Then I just got a 2nd opinion and this dr said to quit Atenolol,Isosobide and Ranexa and start Azor and Bystolic and he wants me to have a Cardiolite stress test. I really do not see an improvement with Azor and Bystolic-I think I have just as much angina maybe more on these 2 drugs. My question is what will stress test show that the heart cath didn't show?
Avatar f tn CT scan shows no pancreas abnmormality. EGD just yesterday shows no ulcers.He has just taken me off the nexum, lipitor and azor. No ETOH, no NSAIDS etc. Every time I eat I have this pain. It is driving me crazy. I had been taking ibuprofin for the pain.
3136355 tn?1343287969 I an 51 years old I visited about 3 neurologists in my lifetime since i was about 10 years old. the last neurologist put me on epilim and azor .5mg - it seem to keep the dizzyness away. if i became dizzy, I was down for quite a few heavy sleeping hours. as soon as i woke up, it was gone. I could never play netball in school, or go dancing with flashing lights etc. since about a year ago, i started having other symptoms as well.
Avatar n tn I recently stopped the flecainide and have had no significant a-fib that I can discern, although some skipped beats. I do continue to take bystolic and azor for high blood pressure. However, since discontinuing the flecanide, I have had what I would describe as a pounding heartbeat (not rapid), dizziness, and consistent blood pressure readings of 140s/50s.
Avatar f tn I stopped Azor 5/20 mg about one month ago, still having side effects. Has anyone stopped bp pills and had side effects lasting this long. I was on the drug for two years. Stopped because I started getting side effects that I first got when I started the pill.
486822 tn?1208800499 Has anyone here hadan RAI for hyperthy? Can you tell me a little bit about what to expect. I'm very nervous about this because of what happens when the gland begins to die and starts dumping hormones in the blood stream. I read it can cause a storm and with my heart problems and high blood pressure, I'm terrified! Does anyone know if being on high does of beta blocker will help this. I'm currently on 400 mg of PTU per day, 200 mg of atenolol, and Azor for BP as well.
1090984 tn?1463769850 I never had a problem until I had my first baby and a week later my bp was 161/110 2nd baby after a week shot up to 191/110. Took forever to go down and was finally put on Azor 5/40 plus a water pill. I went off because my bp was normal after a year or 2, then one night I had a heavy chest, I took my bp and it was 180/108. What concerns me is my diastolic stays high, in the morning my bp can go down to 120/90, the disatolic remains high. or I get readings of 150/99 to 117/91.
Avatar n tn I am concerned. I take Azor for high blood pressure, I also have been exposed to TB (1987 took INH and B6 six months) I also have lactose intolerance, I take enzyme for. Should I take this medicine? My blood pressure is controlled with the medication. If I take the digestive enzyme could that eleviate the problem of lactose intolerant? I don't know what to do.
Avatar n tn For a perspective, pulmonary edema (water in the lungs) and pneumonia are separate issues. Pulmonary edema is usually related to LV dysfunction. It appears the underlying problem is the mitral valve sclerosis (narrowing of opening) and mitral valve regurgitation. The valve problems can stress the heart and cause it to enlarge, and/or an ischemic enlarged LV can aggravate the valve problems especially MVR.
Avatar f tn ve been doing some reading online and from my findings edema does show up with a mass and can prevent them from finding it in an mri.
Avatar n tn 2) With the edema being bilateral and equal is there any other test recommended at all to figure this out? 3) Presuming this is a valid school of though, do the symptoms directly come from the edema/impared venous return? Or is the edema just co-existing? (ie-- Would diurectics help the palpitations, etc. even if they don't figure out the root problem?) Still a mystery after almost a year...getting worse actually.
Avatar f tn I have had the edema on and off, and my Endo used to check my ankles when I had an office visit, so with Hashi's it is common, although I have not had shortness of breath.
Avatar f tn I had a total hip replacement 12/09/2010 and have had foot and ankle edema since. Within the last few months, I have developed foot and ankle edema in the left foot as well. I do not have any liver or pancreatic disease but just found out that I do have a gallstone. I have no symptoms pertaining to the gallstone. I have Hypothyroidism and am on Levothyroxin 100 mcg Monday through Friday, 50 mcg on Saturday and none on Sunday.
Avatar f tn An edema is a buildup of fluid. A bone marrow edema — often referred to as bone marrow lesion — occurs when fluid builds up in the bone marrow. Bone marrow edema is typically a response to an injury such as a fracture or conditions such as osteoarthritis. Bone marrow edema usually resolves itself with rest and physical therapy. Osteitis pubis is a condition in which there’s inflammation where the right and left pubic bones meet at the lower front part of the pelvis.
Avatar n tn The extra fluid and sodium increases pressure in your blood vessels, causing edema. Edema associated with kidney disease usually occurs in your legs and around your eyes. Kidney damage. Damage to the tiny blood vessels in your kidneys (glomeruli) that filter waste and excess water from your blood can result in nephrotic syndrome. One result of nephrotic syndrome is low levels of protein (albumin) in your blood, which can lead to fluid accumulation and edema. Worst case scenarios.
Avatar m tn Edema most commonly occurs in the feet and legs, where it is referred to as peripheral edema...an indentation that persists for some time after the release of the pressure, the edema is referred to as pitting edema... You did not list symptoms associated with congested heart failure and if your doctor has ruled out CHF then there may be an underlying cause with the following: Liver failure should be ruled out. 3.
Avatar m tn t realize anything until I started looking at things and noticed that I have pitting edema in both legs. It is mild, relatively, but it is certainly there and doesn't ever go away. Leg symptoms are mostly stiffness with occasional very mild cramping. To be fair, I did gain perhaps 30 pounds in the year before all this began and I now weigh 275 and I'm 5'10.
7584265 tn?1392247037 Sections from the left and right colon biopsy show portions of colonic mucosa with moderate edema and mild chronic inflammation of lamina propria. The inflammation is non-specific. Can someone tell me what does this all mean?? My research has lead to Chron's disease, colitis, chonic gastritis, barrett esophagus, EGID, EoE, Reflus Esophagitis and Celiac diease and other food allergies. Can someone please help?
Avatar f tn Dr assured me it was the meds and it would go away. It did for awhile and now it is back. Is there something better to take that does not cause these kind of effects?
Avatar n tn This is only part of the picture though, I constantly am feeling like something is tugging at my heart, or putting extra work on it and I feel weak and lightheaded almost all the time, but there is a rare day where i feel better. I have also developed some +1 (as i was told) edema is both lower legs, and my lower legs are sometimes crampy or my legs feel sluggish and stiff especially at the ankles.
