Avatar n tn The second time I experienced SVT was in 2007, again my Dr gave me Lanoxin. Lanoxin was only prescribed when ever i have SVT. This 2009, I had several SVTs. In Sept 2009, my Dr. suggested to hv my regular ECG, CBC and my first time to undergo a 2D Echo with Doppler. My BP is 90/60. All ok, except for my low rbc ct in CBC. My Dr told me that low rbc cause lack of oxygen that is the reason i had SVT. She prescribed Ferrous Sulfates as source of my iron for blood oxygen.
Avatar n tn He currently takes lasix, aldactone and coumadin. Also, I researched Lanoxin and that sounds like it may be a drug suitable for him. Any advice you may have would be great thanks.
Avatar n tn Is your uncle taking Lanoxin (heart medication)? Lanoxin has shown to increase the pumping strength. My father had a weak heart beat and after being on Lanoxin for about 10 years now, he's heart beat is strong (very strong per taking his pulse). Ask your uncle's doctor about Lanoxin.
Avatar f tn Is your mother on any heart medications? Does the heart "racing" happen often? Line of thought here is that a beta blocker may be a help in dealing with the high heart rate, then that is something your doctor has to decide. Many of us take a generic named Metoprolol to slow our heart rate...in my case my HR is always high and I do not have an ICD/Pacemaker.

329165 tn?1515471990 s appointment Cardio noted this (I thought it is normal post-op to have such a fast HR) and prescribed LANOXIN. I have been using it for almost 2 weeks now and still no improvement in HR and BP. GP did bloodtests and these are the results: TSH: normal CRP: normal range Full blood count: normal range Pro-BNP: 218. Can anyone tell me what is this Pro-BNP test and if 218 is high?
Avatar f tn Yesterday I had a MUGA test done and my ejection fraction has increased to 46%. Does this mean that my enlarged heart could be reducing in size or just that the ICD and medication is working? I had a lot of stress before my diagnosis and have not worked since. Is it possible that if I go back to the stressful environment that my heart might get worse again or am I actually in the process of being cured?
Avatar n tn He was then discharged and is now recovering at home. He was taking Lanoxin and diuretics and did not have any swelling or breathlessness. So after 3 months the doctor stopped these medications (without checking the EF). He went for his checkup this month (9 months after surgery) and his echo shows an EF of 40%. The doctor also mentions "Mild LV Dysfunction". So now the doctor has put him back on Lanoxin and diuretics. Is this heart failure where the prognosis is poor?
Avatar n tn My baby girl is 2 months and 2 weeks old her doctor told me se suffers from VSD muscular 4mm, ASD2 4mm,PHT and he gave her medicine lasix and lanoxin but she became lazy, less active and always sleepy without appetite.
Avatar n tn i know that my daughters cardiologist at the univ of mich had told us when they put her on lanoxin that the risks of amiodarone in her case made her not a good candidate for it. i do know that many have taken it for short periods and it seemed to help, but i believe it generally not taken long term as lanoxin or digoxin is hope my little bit helps and good luck....... dawn p.s.
4703993 tn?1379768388 I saw a cardiologist yesterday and he indicated you would think from how it looks on paper that Lanoxin would work, but it typically doesn't when thrown into the mix of things. He spoke of a medication that can be started at a tiny dose, like 2.5 mg, and that works on heart rate while not doing as much to the blood pressure. He thinks it doesn't tend to have the side effects associated with beta blockers that made me not like when I tried one of those.
Avatar f tn My blood pressure is high 160/94 and doc prescribed an ACE inhib for me. How will this effect my PVC/PAC's? Help or hurt? Right now I take lanoxin .25 for PVCs. HBP runs in the family so I was doomed anyway.
162069 tn?1224677411 Dawn Hi. So very glad to hear that your daughter is getting better. I was talking to my husband just the other day about her. We were speaking about the old digoxin recall (back in April) that was posted and I was wondering how she was doing. I'm so glad to hear the good news. Now hopefully the pac's will ease up too. :-) Take care.
Avatar n tn my doctor prescribed me some medications for my heart like coumadin, lanoxin, lasix, cardipress, zarnat, and aldazide... is this a life treathening? when will i stop to take these medicines? or does it take a years to stop these medcines? is it true that heart patient like me has a shorter life span compared to a normal person? help me plz, im already 27 yrs old....
329165 tn?1515471990 Sorry to hear you still have a little leaking going on but the surgery still improved things quite a bit, yes? Glad you got more time off from work. You may be able to work but your endurance will be low. Keep pushing forward. Sounds like you're doing a great job.
Avatar f tn They are suppose to strip my membranes how does that work? Does it hurt.
Avatar f tn m wondering if anyone can point me to a thread where it explains exactly how one starts on suboxone, how it works, and how long you are on it for? Any info would be so greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!
5506662 tn?1369334325 I have 5 days till my due date and baby doesnt seem to want to come any time soon. The doctor said is I went to 41 weeks they would probably induce me. How exactly does that work? I thought it was just some kind of medicine they gave you through an IV but a friend said something about them sticking a needle up there. Im a little freaked out, could someone please explain it to me?
