Avatar n tn HTM My fluttering seems to be a type of muscular tinnitus, perhaps caused by deterioration of some nerves in the area after some type of injury and/or muscle spasm. What to do? I'm going to try taking Niacin which is a known blood vessel dialator, and Ginko which has similar effects. There is also accupuncture, which can relieve some types of spasms, but it can also create spasms.
802198 tn?1237831666 This is actually healthy and should be a welcome side effect to Niacin. With some concentration I can get to sleep and ignore the discomfort. After all I'm one of the pale ones that grew up sunburned all the time so I'm, unfortunately, accustomed to the discomfort. So, before you panic, check your meds online or with your doc to see if a Flush response is normal.

479244 tn?1271563659 (uh oh) Anyway, I checked and found that someone with liver disease (I have mild inflamation and no fibrosis) should not take over 35 mgs. of niacin per day. This stuff I bought at the drug store has 25 mgs. of niacin. Is is all they had , but I am thinking about returning it. IYO - is it safe for me to take this or should I return and look for plain ol B12 liquid.

Avatar n tn Hello~It sounds like nerve issues to me, perhaps some pinched nerves in your arm and upper back. I would see a chiropractor, if you do have pinched nerves, they are usually able to help. They will first take some x-rays, study them, discuss the results, then determine a plan of action. Usually after a few treatments, the symptoms are better.
Avatar m tn Kidney disorders, Liver disease, blood disease, hormone imbalance, growths pressing on nerves, vitamin E, b1, b6, b12 and niacin deficiencies, alcoholism, carpal tunnel, ulnar/peroneal/radial nerve palsy, arm position putting pressure on nerves in neck/spine. If it is in the neck, great, but I think it's best to check for other more serious issues first because the sooner they are addressed the better.
Avatar m tn Call it mind over matter or whatever but I started taking Niacin and inositol last week. I have felt a steady improvement in my mood and anxiety levels each day. I have been taking a B Complex, 100 mg everyday for the past 2 months. The Niacin I take is 400 mg so that is a 500 mg/day dose. Yesterday I bumped up to 400 mg in the AM and 400 at night. There is definely an improvement that I feel. i am not 100% yet but I feel better than I did a week ago.
Avatar f tn Niacin in most people causes the face to flush/blush. No flush Niacin is readily available OTC. A word of caution, however, Niacin is a B3 and B3's are known to elevate blood sugars. Test your bs often and on a regular basis.
Avatar n tn using statin drugs) because Niacin also raises HDL and cuts LPa and triglycerides (while statins only cut LDL). I have been on this regimen since 2003 and the effect on my cholesterol/triglycerides and LPa has been more than as hoped for. Just as with statin drugs, it is necessary to get regular blood tests (ideally every 6 months) to ensure there is no liver damage.
Avatar m tn 3 oz, 7.8 mg Daily Value: 49% Just under 50 percent of the day’s niacin in a three-ounce serving. Tuna Packed in Water, Niacin Content: 3 oz, 8.6 mg Daily Value: 54% Canned tuna is the best source of niacin, and it’s packed with docosahexaenoic acid, a type of omega-3 that stunts the growth of belly fat cell. Canned chunk tuna is considered a “low mercury fish” enjoy two to three times a week, according to the FDA’s most recent guidelines. I don't trust the FDA!
Tbd What is the purpose of the niacin and should a niacin supplement be administered if the medication does not contain niacin?
Avatar m tn Sounds like a nerve problem and not a DVT. (PE= is in the lungs; not the legs) Possibly a sciatia nerve problem. If it were a clot you wouldn't be able to run and would possibly be having problems walking. I would recommend consulting a Neurologist for testing and/or imaging.
382218 tn?1341181487 BTW I jumped the gun (shhhhhhh!) and took one 100mg tablet of niacin on Saturday (yes I already went ahead and bought them) and got the wickedest niacin FLUSH almost instantly after taking it. I had read about it so didn't panic. I went bright red like a lobster, and my skin was HOT. I felt mildly nauseated so laid down and slept it off. When I awoke 90 mins later it was gone, but my cheeks were pink all day.
Avatar m tn “No-flush” niacin preparations, such as inositol hexaniacinate and nicotinamide, are widely sold as niacin alternatives that do not cause hot flushes. In my experience, however, they simply do not work. In other words, no flush, no effect. The correct dose of niacin depends on what abnormality you and your doctor are trying to correct. To raise HDL and correct small LDL, a dose of 750-1000 mg a day usually provides full benefit.
Avatar f tn So, make sure you run everything by your doctor and come up with a mutually agreed upon plan. Niacin HAS been used to lower triglycerides and raise HDL (good) cholesterol. Improving these two aid in overall improvement in total cholesterol numbers. But niacin can have real draw backs too. You MUST talk to your doctor before starting a niacin supplement in my opinion. And if you are on a cholesterol lowering medication already, it may have no effect at all.
