Avatar n tn Sir, i am 35 year old, arround 12 years back i was treated my mitral stenisis by balloon valvotomy, after that I was taking lanoxin and diuretic tablet and pencilline enj. Last year my echo show that now mitral valve is thick and fibrosed valve leaflet and I have moderate mitral stensis 1.58 cm2 with calcified tip. Along with this Aortic calve is also trileaflet, thickend and fbrosed with (moderate leakage) having Lt, Atrium dimension 35 mm and LA-Aorta (1.6).
Avatar m tn MY TTE showed either a vegetation or a ruptured chorda tendinea on the posterior mitral valve leaflet, and normal left ventricular function.Upon having a TEE, vegetations were observed on the posterior valve leaflet. I am due to follow up with my Cardiologist next week, but this whole episode has me really shaken up. I feel FINE! My discharge summary stated "The patient will likely require a mitral valve replacement.
Avatar f tn The forum does not provide a diagnosis and your doctor can provide more information. Your information is sufficient to indicate 2 results possible when leaflets become stiffer (thicken). The condition can narrow the valve opening reducing the amount of blood that can flow through it, and the condition is medically termed valvular stenosis when the tissues forming the leaflet become thickened and restrictive to normal blood flow.
Avatar f tn You can also contact the pharmacist for advice and you can also find information on the medicine information leaflet what to do and who to contact when experiencing any side effects and any overdose. An overdose is when someone takes too much of the prescribed medication all in one go. If your mum has taken the medication as prescribed and has started to experience side effects, her body cannot tolerate the medication. This is not an overdose, but an adverse reaction to the medication.
Avatar f tn This warning will also be included in the patient information leaflet or Medication Guides for these medicines. Direct-acting antiviral medicines are used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, an infection that can last a lifetime. These medicines reduce the amount of HCV in the body by preventing HCV from multiplying, and in most cases, they cure HCV.

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 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 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 i m a patient of rheumatic fever and recently my Echo says my mitral leaflet is mild thickened but no regurgitation or prolapse though ECG report comes with some abnormalities. 1week ago it shows some drop beats but now its improving. My Cardiologist has started giving me Penicillin for atleast 5yrs. But i fell shortness of breath after taking meal at night and when i go outside.

329165 tn?1515471990 Went to Cardio for 6 weeks check-up and he prescribed LANOXIN 0,25mg with high starting dosage (had to take 4 tabs the 1st day). It is now 7 days later and still no improvement. My HR is still fast and BP low and I now have extra systoles/irregular HR. Should I stop using LANOXIN and switch to SOTACOR (I used it pre-op). I had Ablation done in Nov. 2007 to treat PSVT. Thank you!
Avatar n tn Do green vegetables have effect on mechanical heart valve patient? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/875513'>aortic valve replacement</a>.
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.
11702305 tn?1420502553 With most medications that you buy or are prescribed, comes an information leaflet that does warn people of normal side effects and serious side effects. If an information leaflet does not come with your medication, information with regard to side effects can be found on the web. Of course, one person may be OK with a particular medication, but it may not suit another person. For example, some people are OK taking amoxicillin whilst others are allergic to it.
Avatar f tn In this condition medications are used to decrease the heart arte like lanoxin, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers. Afib is slowing down may mean that your doctor is telling you about the progression of the disease or its improvement. It is best to clarify your concerns with a cradiologist.Keep me posted on how you are doing. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn There is no information on the Patient Information Leaflet for pregnant women not to take it. The Lemsip Max contains a decongestant and that can raise blood pressure in some people. You didn't use the maximum dose for the day, so don't worry. Did you tell your doctor that you took the Lemsips? Stick to the paracetamols as suggested by your doctor, but try to do without if you can. Do relaxation and breathing techniques to calm down, a gentle walk, a warm bath and so on.
4051730 tn?1350268991 If you were my patient, I would advise you that nausea is a common side effect of Clomid. It is nothing to be concerned about, and should subside after you finish the last tablet. Good luck!
390388 tn?1279636213 call your dr and have them write a new script for digoxin or lanoxin... there is a possibility that your dr may want a new dig level before starting new script...
Avatar f tn My mother is on coreg .325 and docs just took her off of lanoxin hoping that is causing platelet drop, they aren't sure yet. today heart rate at 142 bpm at rest. All this started happening feb 21. before that heart rate around 100. The problem with more coreg or other beta blockers is the fact her bp too low 96 over 50 the majority of the time. I am soo scared for her, lanoxin prevents heart attack yet it could be the cause of very low platelets and she could bleed to death. catch 22.
