Common Questions and Answers about L arginine and nitrous oxide

l-arginine

Avatar n tn I have been taking L-arginine, L-citrulline, along with Alpha Lipoic acid and fish oil to prevent heart disease. My doctor told me to take aspirin. I exercise 4 times per week and have lost 10 lbs. Recently I have been having frequent nosebleeds. I cut back on the dosage of aspirin but still have nose bleeds although not as often. I don't know if the combination of supplements is the cause of the nosebleeds.
15956007 tn?1444226957 L-Arginine is a naturally occuring amino acid, available without prescription in many health food stores. It is a precursor to the production of nitrous oxide, which acts to widen and dilate tiny blood vessels. It is also helpful in diabetic neuropathy and in maintaining an adult male erection. It comes in flavors and without flavoring, tastes like raw meat. Don't buy the capsules. You need to take at lerast one to two grams with water, preferably on an empty stomach.
Avatar n tn , however the year is 2014, and knowledge regarding L-Arginine (a vasodilator, that increases the interior diameter of the blood vessels, increasing body capacitance) and the safety thereof has been common knowledge for the last fifty years. That being said I think it would always be a good idea to ask your doctor about everything in your life.
7891785 tn?1397532007 s are on nitrous. You just want to make sure you turn the nitrous off before taking the nitrous nose off of your patient. As long as the nose is on your pt, you shouldn't be getting any nitrous in your system. I haven't had any problems. Always do what makes you comfortable though. I know if I had any concerns or special requests, My dental office would accommodate me and my concerns I have for myself and my baby.
Avatar m tn I had my top four front teeth removed and had implants placed, all with just novocaine and nitrous oxide. I was very nervous about the whole thing. The NO just made me feel relaxed and the procedure was quick and totally painless. I didn't feel a thing and could hear the oral surgeon speaking to his assistant. You don't really go to sleep with it and are always in control of yourself. Totally waking up is a breeze, too. A little oxygen and all the nitrous is gone from your system.
Avatar n tn I had a dentist appointment this morning, and I always use the nitrous oxide because of severe anxiety. Before the procedure the dentist did everything as normal, however, I never felt the effects of the nitrous. I remained completely "normal". When asked if I was okay I told them the nitrous wasn't working and they reassured me that it was on and was floating the ball in the hose at a 50/50 mix.
Avatar f tn I have a question from the opposite angle.. I had been told l- arginine would be of help releasing nitric oxide in the blood to help with male erection/orgasm ..however, that arginine shouldn't be taken by those with hsv1/2 because it can provoke an outbreak. Can you debunk this ? I would love to take arginine if it can help at all !
Avatar m tn This amino acid is a precursor of nitrous oxide, which relaxes and widens vessels in the microcirculation. Keep seeking professional opinions.
Avatar m tn My89-year-old father just endured a series of excruciating catheterization procedures (he also has an infection) with no pain med. Nitrous oxide is a great tool for dental procedures; why can't it be used more widely? It seems that Great Britain uses it more; why do U.S. doctors continue to ignore the suffering of their patients?
370801 tn?1264405018 In this blend you will find the Nitric Oxide portion of this supplement, L-Arginine AKG. Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid. It is a building block of protein that performs a myriad of physiological functions. It is a known precursor of the gas nitric oxide [N02]. Arginine is the most important component of any NO supplement. NO-Xplode also contains some Creatine, Caffeine and Nootropic Ingredients that help you focus on the task at hand. NO-Xplode Ingredients 1.81 Lbs.
Avatar n tn we do not rely on this alone because for safety reasons only about 30% of the Nitrous should be used and 70% of the other being oxygen and these two are ran through the same mask. It is imparative that you have this dentist use a monitoring system such as a pulse oximeter to monitor your child's oxygen levels. Even healthy children that have been sedated in our office sometimes have their oxygen levels drop to around 80% which is a concern.
Avatar f tn Anyone used nitrous oxide as a pain alternative during labor? My doctor suggested it today as an option for me because I'm not a fan of the epidural because I go completely numb and can't feel anything. I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with it.
Avatar m tn i went to the doc and he said not to worry about any of that and said it was probably not related and just allergies cuz i have fluid in my ears. he gave me some meds, got sinus x rays and blood work and he said to come back next week if it still hurts. guess im still worried. after a day of allegry meds no improvement. just worried this one dumb decision did some permanent brain damage thats gonna ruin my life. i guess looking for some advice or hope. i have bad anxiety issues as well.
Avatar m tn I accidentally took a work out supplement thats is a nitric oxide thing. It has niacin and L arginine in it. Its suppose to make ur blood vessles open up bigger for a better pump at the gym. Then a took viagra a couple hours later and has the swollen erection. I saw a regular Dr and a urologist. Both were a waste of time and money. Anyone else experience somthing similar? I havent gone more than 5 days without having sex. I am going to try 2 weeks.
11639155 tn?1420062415 m getting a temporary crown done a week before Christmas at Perfect Teeth, and since I am deathly scared of needles, my mother and I decided to use Nitrous Oxide for the procedure. I'm 24 years old and about 140ish pounds, and I'm breathing deeply into the mask, when I black out. Apparently I had my first Grand Mal seizure and the dentist switches back to oxygen when I come back. I asked my mom what happened and she answered that I had a Grand Mal.
Avatar m tn They have increased the Ranexa 500 mg to 2 x a day and I am still having angina attacks mainly left shoulder pain. I have read several articles about L-arginine being used to increase nitric oxide and that seemed to help control spasms. I am currently on Norvasc 5mg 1xdaily, Lisinopril 5mg 1x daily, metoprolol 100 mg 2 x daily Ranexa 500 mg 2x daily, magnesium 500 mg 2 x daily, garlic 1000 mg daily, evening primrose oil 1000 mg daily, simvastatin. I also have sleep apnea and use a cpap machine.
5851092 tn?1404133464 I slso came to a thought that it maybe cause alcohol can dilate blood vessels but i have also tried arginine and other nitrous oxide foods and supps but not the same results
Avatar n tn I am a 25 year old female and I had a seizure while having dental work done about 3 weeks ago. I had been given lidocaine and nitrous oxide. Following the appointment, I went to a neurologist and had a CT scan and an MRI done. Both showed no brain abnormalities. I had eclampsia 4 years ago and had seizures which resulted in the early delivery of my child. Aside from my seizures 4 years ago, I had no previous history of seizure disorder.
Avatar m tn what is the safest and quickest way to overcome an addiction to inhaling nitrous oxide gas? Are there any good rehab facilities?
Avatar n tn I would like to know why laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is not a good option for my daughter to undertake while receiving dental care as she needs to be sedated. I am told that she needs to be adminstered the normal anesthesia as if she were receiving a surgery in a hospital. I understand that a cardiologist as well as the anesthesiologist should be present during the care (dental), but why specifically is laughing gas more hard on her system?
Avatar m tn Don't waste your $$$$ and This supplement L-arginine increases nitric oxide (NO) which hampers the ability of T-cells in fighting cancer.
545944 tn?1227827002 t drink, taking 5 grms fish oil and 6 grms L-arginine daily+ lipitor, propranolol, hctz so lipids and BP under control (except stress tests >190/90). What can I do to make this next appontment count? Is with Head of Cardio for Regional Hospital, don't want to waste anyones time but feel like doing everythng I can and isn't enough! Think need cardiac cath with and without ergonovine... doesn't sound like any fun, any other way to diagnose spasms?
Avatar n tn I will do some investigating and research to see what sort of rate of occurrence exists with seizures and local anesthetics. Also, I believe that the nitrous oxide may have played a role, so i'll look into that avenue and see what i come up with.
Avatar f tn I underwent nitrous oxide for a dental implant surgery 2 years ago. The day following the surgery, I began having severe panic attacks and anxiety. I did have some anxiety problems before the surgery but had never suffered a panic attack previously. I am now taking medication for this anxiety that still hasn't subsided following this surgery. I have read in some places that N2O is contraindicated for those with anxiety/mental disorders, and others that say it is not.
Avatar m tn Unless you breathed in nitrous oxide until you lost consciousness, and your friends continued to administer ONLY nitrous oxide for 3-5 minutes after you lost consciousness, you will not have suffered a brain injury. Self-diagnosis is NEVER a good idea.
Avatar m tn I take pre-workout supplements (Muscle Pharm Assault) which contain L-Arginine and Beta Alinine (nitric oxide), which I read doesnt go well when taken at the same time as Viagra. In addition, I take Creatine and Whey Protein as well. I am not planning on taking them at the same time though. Could you advise if it is safe to take these on the days when I am not having Viagra. Also, how long do I need to wait before I can take them.
