epipen

Avatar f tn AM ccrtisol has been between 1 and 5, below range low of 6.7. although cortisol stimulated to 13.7. Dr ordered 24 hour urine for catecholamines in July and December. both times epinephrine NE <5 &<6 below clinical reportable range. In July he said first test was incomplete but looked normal but ordered again all other parts of both test are normal. husband is very anxious. I also asked about his anaphylaxis to wheat that came on when he was 56.
1477978 tn?1289502131 If you are on any steroid dose it does compromise your bodies ability to produce and release cortisol in stressful or emergency situations and can lead to further health issue...you literally do not have the capability to manufacture your own cortisol during a "fight or flight" moment and your body will use up what you are artifically supplying it with daily in one instance resulting in more issues because it cannot replace it like it normally would.
1558471 tn?1331222035 Cortisone meds will supress the natural production of cortisol, and cortisol is triggering adrenaline and noradrenaline production. When stopping taking prednisolon, this mechanism is disturbed and reactions may occur. That's why the doctors are stressing that you never quit taking prednisolon instantly. There may be a connection between this. I don't know this so well, but it's definitely possible. Anyone that know this? Feel free to share thoughts!
Avatar f tn It's the epinephrine in the anesthetic that causes the racing heart, etc. Next time you're at the dentist and you need/want an anesthetic ask for one WITHOUT epinephrine. The medication generally takes a little longer to "kick in" and wears off faster, but your dentist will work with you for maximum comfort.
Avatar n tn Last year I saw a naturopathic holistic doctor to find relief from PMS symptoms and general fatigue and irritability, and acne. He prescribed me a natural progesterone cream to be used between days 14-28 of my cycle. It has made a huge difference in my energy levels, mood, skin clarity and elasticity, has even helped me lose some weight. I did not know this before, but it is common for women with hypothyroidism to also have a progesterone deficiency.
Avatar n tn Meanwhile I have had a cortisol shot, and will be undergoing tests to eliminate anything to do with the heart.
1817071 tn?1366228243 I have had 2 root canals with local anesthesia without the epinephrine. It is fine..no difference, not a big deal. The only difference is that it wears off a little faster and you may need another injection at some point during the procedure. I would not be talking to the dental nurse anymore about it. Speak to your dentist and tell him your concerns and INSIST that they use anesthetic without epi. If he won't or says that he can't, whatever the reason, change dentists.

Avatar m tn Hi, It is a serotonin and nor epinephrine reuptake inhibitor. The name of the neurotransmitter is nor epinephrine it is different from epinephrine. Most of the side effects occur during the period when one is taking the medication. But the important thing to remember is to follow the doctors instructions carefully. To reduce the incidence of side effects it is always started with a low dose and then it is gradually increased.
197575 tn?1215532624 Is there a difference between a complex nodule and a complex cystic nodule? I know complex means both solid and cystic. My friend's ultrasound call it a complex cystic nodule. Thanks.
1015629 tn?1251146888 I don't know if it depends on the lab, but my endo's lab uses Thyroid Perox values of <35 and TGab of <20 for the Hashimoto's hypothyroid test. If you used my lab, this would put your perox in the upper side of normal and your TGab of a 37 in the high range, suggesting Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Why would you think you're hyper? Because of the diarrhea and heart rate? Hashi people tend to fluctuate between hypo and hyper symptoms.
Avatar f tn When you stress you release a hormone cortisol and epinephrine and it also stresses out the baby. Trust me, nothing is serious enough to risk the life of your unborn child. God will not place us through anymore than we can bare. Just focus on positive things and speak life and constantly pray. Have faith and I'll be praying for you.
Avatar f tn Epinephrine is the a hormone and neurotransmiter. It is produced by the adrenal gland an is a "fight-or-flight catecholamine." So is norepinephrine. In biochemistry, the prefix "nor" means that norepinephrine is an analog of epinephrine. They function quite differently in the body. epinephrine is most commonly thought of in terms of t effect on the sympathetic nervous system - increasing heart rate, increasing blood pressure, hyper alertness, etc.
Avatar m tn if they want to test cortisol with blood tests, they need to test not just the serum cortisol, but also the free cortisol and the cortisol binding globulin. if you are having cortisol problems you need cortisol before you can raise your thyroid levels--but our bodies were not meant to run on T4 meds only---it is a storage hormone.
1438638 tn?1304946457 Depending on your symptoms, you might ask for aldosterone, renin, angiotensin II, and dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. All of these can be done by an endo and all are implicated in various AD symptoms. Be sure the endo tests all thyroid hormones, not just TSH and T4. Good luck on Thursday!
Avatar f tn ---Finally, should you have high stress levels or other factors affecting your cortisol and adrenals in general, this would contribute to thyroid conversion problems and reduced thyroid function. Free T3, Free T4 and Reverse T3 (RT3) tests will accurately indicate thyroid function and the RT3 will indicate possible adrenal issues. If you need more details or have any questions, please post again.
Avatar f tn Importantly, differences between subtype 1a and 1b (by far the most frequently encountered genotype 1 subtypes in clinical practice) include different efficacies of antiviral drugs and different resistance profiles to such drugs. Indeed, several HCV inhibitors appear to have selective activity against different HCV genotype 1 subtypes, both in vitro and in vivo....
Avatar m tn what is the difference between addiction and dependence? I was reading another post and someone mentioned that he/she thought someone was dependent not addicted.. I'm just curious. Thanks in advance for any responses.

Avatar n tn One medication may have been developed first and others later that are somewhat similar chemically and in the same chemical family but they may be completely different medications. I take Methocarb and that is prescribed for me to control dystonic spasms. It is an anti spasmodic. Meprobamate is an anti anxiety medication. Any of these medications can be prescribed for other purposes as determined by a doctor or psychiatrist or other treating professional.
