It can be due to many reasons which can be physiological or disease-related, and include excessive intake of liquids, diuretic substances (including tea, caffeine, alcohol, certain drugs), anxiety, exposure to cold, diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus (central or nephrogenic), urinary tract infections or obstruction, etc to name a few more common ones.

Currently a prescription for hydrocodone-containing Vicodin can be refilled five times before the patient has to see a physician again.
Avatar m tn The medications that have caused this so far are drugs for GERD and drugs for hypertension. I have tried just about all of them. The reaction is always the same. It starts with tiredness and then goes into a burning sensation in my chest, upper back and down my arms. It is accompanied many times by tingling through out my body.

Third, the ingredients they're using shows they are just using inexpensive forms that don't absorb well -- the B12 is the cyano-form, which isn't absorbed well. The Calcium and Magnesium are both the least well absorbed, but cheapest, forms of both.

Avatar f tn m not sure if anyone here can or will answer that question. Here our focus is on being substance free not on legal/or illegal substances that can be abused. This is really something you need to talk to a doctor about....and even if you live in non-medical marijuana state you can still talk to your doc. My hubby did way back when with no reprisals. My other advice if you don't want to talk to your doctor is to go to the Chronic Pain forum here at MedHelp.

Avatar m tn I would recommend experimenting with cutting out certain foods like caffeine, sugar, large portions, etc... and see what happens. I have done this over the years and sometimes I find triggers and then later they return but in the absence of dangerous underlying causes, you may be like me and have to treat the symptons possibly for the rest of your life or just redefine your "normal" with a "new normal" that includes arrythmias.
