1462455 tn?1313081703 To lower your cholesterol naturally without side effects, do the kapalbhati pranayam for 20 to 30 minutes everyday. Check your cholesterol every week and come back to share your result, to encourage others.Allow 4 weeks to notice the benefit. Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute. Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in).
Avatar m tn Lasix in the morning and Seroquel (low dose) at night. She has become more irritable and seems depressed. Should she stop or reduce her medications?
501792 tn?1261111106 Since I have tried many IC treatments and medications. I have tried Installments, a distention and IC mediactions OTC and prescribed. I have always prefered an all natural approach to medicine but my pain has not responded to those options enough to stop taking the narcotic pain meds. I eat as naturally and organically as possible and follow an IC diet. I have SVT which interferes with alot of the options I've tried like Lupron and being able to consitantly use NSAIDS.
1133317 tn?1264881827 but it seems no matter how many children you have when you get pregnant you seem to have the same questions and concerns even though you have been through this already. with my first son i worked until i was 8 1/2 months pregnant. with this pregnancy i took parenting classes and read every magazine there was about what is going on inside me and how to take care of my self so i cld have a healthy pregnancy. i didnt drink coffee,eat processed cheese or any other food that was a concern.
Avatar m tn the BP med may add to fatigue and side effects of meds...be sure and let ur doctors know all of ur meds and discuss it with ur pharmacist....
Avatar n tn Medication may be what she needs due to a chemical imbalance in the brain but before putting her on Zoloft I would get a 2nd and 3rd opinion... I watched a program just this morning on Zoloft and children and it wasn't pretty at all... One boy who was 12 yrs old at the time was put on Zoloft and 3 months later he shot his grandparents... He said from the time he started taking it he felt like he watched himself from a far... He had no control over thoughts or actions...

Everyone reacts differently. i know that answer ***** :-( i also have been trying everything but medication to help me cope, i go for walks, i go to counceling. i still have a prescription for zoloft which i havent started yet because i am so determined to control this on my own...
Avatar m tn t be afraid to let him know certain behavior is not acceptable but if its a symptom his psychiatrist could discus this further with him and see how to address it. Also new medications are being developed all the time. If he hasn't responded to all existing treatments that doesn't mean he might not respond to others that will be approved.. Its essential to keep yourself updated. Also there are places you could discuss coping solutions such as NAMI friends and family meetings.
Avatar m tn While researching this I found that stimulant medications can cause symptoms of schizophrenia and/or open the door for early onset. My question is whether or not we should take him off the Concerta. Will this make any difference? Also any information about schizophrenia in children would be helpful. I do not think it is severe in my son, but I am worried and am unsure of how to approach this.
Avatar n tn Research has shown that a no sugar / dairy diet really has any affect on the behavior of hyperactive children. Treatment is behavioral methods and medications, if necessary. Possibly the Child Behavior Expert Forum may help you.
356518 tn?1322263642 I would say find a new doctor! If you are uncomfortable with your kids on the medications, and the doctor wont listen to you, find someone who will. You know your kids better than anyone. You're paying the doctors, not the other way around, correct?
Avatar n tn Hi, My husband is on a number of heart medications due to having a heart attack when he was in his late 20's (high lipoprotein a). He is well and his meds seem to suit him and do a great job of keeping him healthy. We want to start a family in the next year or two but are concenred about whether the meds he is on could affect his fertility. He is on daily aspirin, a beta blocker (carvedilol), a statin (pravastatin), ACE inhibitor (ramipril) and spironolactone.
Avatar n tn can zoloft cause or aggravate rage in young children? Will Tenex and or Zoloft aggravate psychotic features?
Avatar f tn We just saw number 4 today and she is fantastic and I felt answered my questions and listened to what I had to say (we had to drive to another state but well worth it). Was he evaluated for Long QT? That jumped out at me right away as that is very dangerous. My daughter was first suspected of having long qt and that's why we ended up at a cardiologist initially. I really have no other advice than get a second opinion.
1380142 tn?1279119372 I was told by my previous job that it is affecting my work and they cant keep on carrying me and now its affecting my new job. I have a wife and 2 young children. I was born in south africa and moved to australia. Now I live in england with my english wife and my 2 children. It feels like I am loosing my mind, i want to scream inside. I often try to over dose on my hypertention tablets and i dont want to take my depression tablets because its making me worse.
Avatar f tn They are poorly systemically absorbed and thus have low human toxicity and exert their action directly on worms. The most common members of this family are albendazole and mebendazole. o Treatment of bowel obstruction includes intravenous hydration, nasogastric suctioning, electrolyte monitoring, and laparotomy if conservative measures fail. Colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) may be useful in removing obstructing masses of worms.
Avatar m tn It is rare to see an angry child who is ADHD display disorganized thinking, language, and body position, all of which may be seen in angry bipolar children during a tantrum. Children who are bipolar may also lose memory of the tantrum. 4. The “trigger” for temper tantrums is also different. Children who have ADHD are typically triggered by sensory and emotional over stimulation, whereas children who have bipolar disorder typically react to limit-setting, such as a parental “no.” 5.
Avatar f tn My husband is trying hard to take care of the family and his job. Family and friends help with food and give me a break when they can with my children. My life is a mess right now. I miss my time with my children and my husband. I am living in the dark and just can't imagine how a birth control pill could this kind of damage to me. I would not wish this on anyone.
Avatar f tn I do belong to a support group for parents and teachers of children suffering from anxiety and many of our children are taking SSRI's - Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa, etc. some as young as three years of age. Our child has been taking a SSRI for about six years (she is now 12 years old) and we hope she will be able to function without her medication very soon.
Avatar n tn To diagnose the underlying cause and origin of vertigo in children, an MRI or CT scan of the brain and skull are usually recommended. In addition, your child also undergo a complete physical and examination by a physician with special focus on a test known as the Dix-Hallpike maneuver which will help to narrow the complication into either nerve damage or brainstem involvement.
Avatar n tn If a medication is crushed and mixed with a bit of applesauce it can be mixed with a boost or ensure drink and even end stage alz patients seem to tolerate this well. This works just like a suspension medication we would use for infants or small children. Very small pills that are not able to be crushed may also be floated in a larger bite of applesauce and they will sometimes slide down easier for the patients.
Avatar f tn How much is stress the culprit in cardiac conditions? I have a first degree blockd artery and thinning of the aortic wall. I have perfect cholesterol and triglyceride levels. I was told mine was due to repetitive stress. What if I just can't reduce the stress in my life (2 children) and single parent with bipolar disorder (applied for disability)?
Avatar f tn I'm a first time prego and was not planning and or even having sex on a regular basis. Was taking medication for my add and for chronic pain from bad accident. I also am around spray paint and other finishing chems for my business. I found out I'm pregnant because I was spotting and honestly couldn't remember my last period. Went to doc and was too early for ultrasound, but had blood twice now and waiting to see if levels have doubled.
Avatar f tn But, I read about botox injections and something else ....with medications that I am avoiding. For the moment, I take neurontin, and lamotrigine. And I was on morphine patches which I decided to stop. The doctor prescibed Trazadone which will help me sleep But, it is unfriendly to tardive dyskinesia;so, I plan to stop it as well......I appreciate your answering. It is hell.... At times, I feel so low that hope to die. Oh, I forgot: I am taking vit.
Avatar n tn The other causes could be jaundice if there is yellowish discoloration of skin, food poisoning if the symptoms occurred shortly after taking food, peptic ulcer disease and sometimes cholecystitis and pancreatitis. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. In the meantime take oral fluids. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn No and no. Your test was fine. What was your risk and when after the risk did you test?
