572651 tn?1530999357 Hi nanou and welcome here at MedHelp. I'm just curious what made you look for this old post referencing nitro? Its from before my being dx'd with MS. BTW, the nitro is still on my nightstand and in my purse too, but I haven't needed it for at least 10 months.
Avatar m tn Can hemorrhoids kill you? I have one and it's causing me to bleed a lot from my rectum. But it stops after a few minutes. But every time I take a dump it makes it bleed again!

Avatar f tn If you miss a dose of Nitroglycerin Patch, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once. When used for long periods of time without a break, some people develop a physical need to continue taking Nitroglycerin Patch. This is known as physical DEPENDENCE. Do not suddenly stop taking Nitroglycerin Patch without your doctor's approval.
Avatar n tn Yes, they just want you to heat it up first to kill any Bacteria that might be on it. For instance, I now get my subs toasted at subway.
Avatar n tn Well, Viagra is not safe at all in the presence of nitroglycerin tablets and in fact, we know that if anyone takes Viagra with nitroglycerin tablets, that the blood pressure can be lowered precipitously and can be lowered to such levels as can be extraordinarily dangerous to you. [ABC News report from May 2008 - Internet] As we know, not everyone experiences negative side effects from every medication.
Avatar m tn I attempted to explain to you, on another identical post as well, isosorbide is generic for sorbitrate and is taken to PREVENT angina due to ischemia. If you want medication handy in the event you are experiencing angina, nitro is fast acting and within seconds or so there is relief. Doesn't make sense to keep sorbitrate handy as there is not immediate relief.
Avatar m tn While chest pain that gets better with nitroglycerin can be suggestive of agina, there are several other types of chest pain, such esophageal spasm, that can get better after nitroglycerin. Exercise tests and stress echocardiograms are screening test for coronary artery disease. If these screening tests are abnormal, the next step is most likely a cardiac catheterization and angiogram in order to look definitively at your coronary arteries.
Avatar n tn This is known as physical DEPENDENCE. If you use Nitroglycerin Patch without a break and then suddenly stop using it, you may get WITHDRAWAL symptoms. No high bp but may include chest pain, heart attack, or possibly sudden death. Be sure to have a "nitrate-free" period of time each day; this may help prevent dependence and withdrawal problems".

Avatar n tn It has been a week or so since you posted this. How are you doing? Any improvement? The lingering cough can last. It sounds like they are trying to cover all bases for eradicating the pneumonia. Most likely, your lungs are now clearing and the actual infection has passed. Your airways are irritated and this can take some time to recover from especially with your already compromised state. Do you use an inhaler? This article is a quick read https://www.webmd.
Avatar n tn Yes I would suggest a left heart catheterization to further evaluate you for the presence of severe obstructive atherosclerosis. Apart from this you should be on maximal medical therapy including beta blockers, ace inhibitors, aspirin and plavix as well as a statin. Is you heart function preserved after the heart attack? It is possible that your shortness of breath is secondary to systolic dysfunction and not only pneumonia.
1298588 tn?1330318981 but to do that you have to realize they are not going to kill you and are no way life threatening. If you can manage that, you take away their teeth and they quit being the life controlling monster that they were. I could have written your post myself some years ago. I let panic and OCD just about take over my life. Do not do that, get help now. A good therapist can help you so much. And you really could benefit by taking some meds for your anxiety. I am scared to death of new meds.
Avatar m tn trigger it or stimulate it on accident without going out of your way to rub it can it kill you? Like what if you have an itch on your neck right on the nerve and you rub it for a few seconds? Is it actually easy to danger yourself from this maneuver? Iv had a cardiology workup with tons of tests and apparently everything's fine.
Avatar m tn You didn't mention the age, but given what you said, and that you used the term 'girl' rather than woman, I'm assuming we are talking college age? I did some searching for you, and found a very helpful link about college drinking and alcohol poisoning: http://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/OtherAlcoholInformation/factsAboutAlcoholPoisoning.aspx Pay special attention to the symptoms.
Avatar f tn The ecg numbers are mostly normal except for the heart rate of 126. Given that you have a PR interval that the machine can pick up, i would say its probably not Atrial fibrillation or some other SVT. Sinus tachycardia >100bpm especially prolonged is pathological unless you are being stressed (ex. exercising). I'm concerned for pulmonary embolism given chest pain, shortness of breath and HR 126bpm. A pneumothorax can also give you similar symptoms and tachycardia.
Avatar n tn I am just concerned that this will forever be a constant worry for him. Any suggestions of how I can help him. Also I asked his MD about having nitroglycerin to have on hand and he said that this wasn't necessary??? Should I insist that we have some available?
Avatar n tn Nitrates are also found in illicit drugs such as amyl nitrate (poppers). If you are not sure if any of your medicines contain nitrates, or if you do not understand what nitrates are ask you doctor or pharmacist. Penegra (sildenafil) is not approved for use in women. There is also a potential for cardiac risk during sexual activity in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.
Avatar f tn But if it keeps on, and sorry to tell you this, but you probably should see a doctor ASAP. It could be the sign of a coming stroke, since it is sudden and very painful. I started with a sudden very different migraine than any I had ever had before. It turned out that within 3 weeks, longer than usual as a gap in time, I had a full carotid artery dissection stroke. Lucky that I wasn't paralzyed and not able to speak for life. Still have disabling, significant deficits 3.
Avatar n tn I assume the diagnosis of hyperreactive responses not only to the constrictor effects of acetylcholine, but also the dilator effects of nitroglycerin were detected diffusely in the epicardial coronary arteries of patients with coronary spastic angina. The goal of treatment is to control chest pain and to prevent heart attack. The pain is relieved by a medicine called nitroglycerin (dilates coronary vessels). You have been prescribed norvasc and that should relieve any chest pains.
Avatar m tn I'm a Raynaud's Phenomen patients who has the CREST syndrome and i use the nitroglycerin patches to control my raynaud's. Can you tell me if the patches used in this way would cause your acid reflux to be worse. When i took the lowest dose of nitroglycerin patches 0.1 didn't notice any but had to move up and now i do. Will this be something that my body may take an adjustment period for before i notice a different of not having symptoms again?
Avatar f tn NO IT CAN'T KILL YOU I've been there and still am in the same place but anxiety can not kill u
