methadose

1264367 tn?1408104163 I have gastroparesis, and GERD, and am on methadone maintenance. I noticed I started having problems as soon as I started the Methadone Clinic, 3 yrs ago. I recently had an endoscopy and waiting on the biopsy results. I'm so sick of not being able to eat anything. I'm living off of oatmeal and can't over eat. But it's not over eating because I've been starving. I can only eat a small bowl of oatmeal before I take my methadone and then another small one for lunch.
Avatar n tn could any Medical professional/doctors on here have any information about this, what does it mean if i get a EKG or ECG done and it is not normal i will have to flush my pain meds and then what? suffer in pain from on and bite on a piece of wood in my teeth...? thanks for the help...
Avatar m tn Hi i was wondering what the dufference of a 12 and 18 lead ecg all came out good but the er doc did nit explain what the difference was?
Avatar f tn MVP can be detected with a prolonged QT interval with the ECG and no report on that segment with your post. Usually, an ECG includes the possible underlying cause for an abnormal ECG.
Avatar m tn E and took a ECG and the doctor said my heart is fine. before i go back does anyone know what this could be? i would be honoured if someone could answer this. its been almost 6 days now since i took it. and today i felt a strange pain by my left side of my stomach area.
Avatar m tn Would it be possible to ask for another blood glucose level and can you take your methadone after the test? Many patients with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes have it because of their HCV. It seems to go hand in hand. I do not think you need to worry about a wait for other drugs or another chance regarding getting liver cancer (HCC). Liver cancer affects those with cirrhosis and the risk is 1-4% per year. So waiting a year is not going to harm you.
Avatar m tn On June 4 of this year I went to a local ER for severe chest pain. I had been having this pain intermittenly for a week. My ECG results read "right atrial enlargement, T wave abnormality, consider anterior ischemia, and abnormal ECG". I was given a GI cocktail and sent home diagnosed with epigastric pain. Four days later I went to my primary doctor because the chest pain was so intense.

Avatar f tn ECg was repeated to me 3 or 4 times i still have ST depession, my physical exam show normal heart rythem and sounds, normal breathing sounds. echo was done and was normal, a holter ECg test was done and i still waitnig for the result from almost 3 weeks!! before these 3 monthes and before this pregnancy i was completly healthy! never went to doctor even for flue!!! im very tired, and waiting all that period driving me crazy!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn It was an interesting experience. I had a 12 lead ECG that showed 120 HR Sinus Rhythm with non specific ST and T wave abnormalities. I had a minor panic attack during the ECG and I was tapping my foot to calm down. The medical assistant started the ECG while I was tapping. The nurse practitioner who saw me wants me to do an echo and stress test to rule out heart blockage, ischemia, and heart attack. He also sent me home with a 7 day heart monitor.

20794198 tn?1534529493 Hi guys, Anyone here with ECG EKG knowledge? I would like to find out peoples opinions on cardiomyopathy's in particular. And how they result in isoline changes on the ECG EKG. I was having a debate with somebody recently, they protested that cardiomyopathy's (mainly chamber enlarging one's such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arvc, dilated cardiomyopathy) have a false negative rate of around 30%! I disagreed with them.
Avatar n tn I have started taking Methadone on occasion. This morning I took a 10mg Methadone and this evening I took 3 10mg Hydrocodones. I am experiencing a ton of breathing problems now. Does anybody know if this is a bad mix. I was taking 10-15 10mg vicodin a day. I know it has to be tearing up my liver. Does anyone else have a problem like this?
Avatar m tn and heart palpitations.....and some times skip a beat..and chest tiredness..ived seen my doc too and he said that im normal...with my ecg and all...one of my friends said that maybe its just nerves..like i have panic disorder or anxiety probs..thats why i felt this way since i dont have any history with drinking and smoking too...well...maybe u are just experiencing that too....
Avatar f tn I have already caught him once mixing klonopin and his methadone. But I am still very suspicious that he has do so over the week end at his parents house. I was just wondering if you could advise me as to what signs to watch for if I don't catch him right away. Like what the normal side effects within a day or two after that I would be looking for.
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum---- I think the more important question is whether you really need the additional pain relief or or just wanting the effect of the additional Opiate. If you can withstand the pain by just taking your normal dose of Methadone, then don't take the Lortabs. Hope you will stay and post and read this site -- should you ever decide to come off of the Methadone, this is a great place to find help. All the best.
Avatar f tn As with heroin and all other opiates, methadone tolerance and methadone dependence usually develop with repeated doses. Tolerance to Methadone administered in a pain-control program usually occurs during the first few weeks of use; whereas respiratory depression, sedation, and nausea can be seen immediately.
Avatar m tn I have have been on methadone & zanax for 7yrs 40mg methadone & 31/2 mg zanax and slowly tappering off the methadone 5mg a week to reach 30mg to get on bupenorphen for 1to2 months so i can get off methadone because of longer w/d so i have heard i would appriciate any info thanks
Avatar n tn Taking methadone and Vicodin together or taking methadone and heroin together is not "fine". Not sure where you got that information or why you're asking?
Avatar n tn Based on my online research, it appears to me that it is NOT necessary, and may be required only as a convenience to the ECG tech. How about for an echocardiogram?
