I am so nervous right now. My doctor is about to prep me for an inversion. I didn't even have time to mentally prepare myself, just the thought of turning the baby does something to my stomach. Now on the bright side, hopefully she doesn't turn back around because I would hate to have a c section.
If you miss a dose of Nitroglycerin Patch, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once. When used for long periods of time without a break, some people develop a physical need to continue taking Nitroglycerin Patch. This is known as physical DEPENDENCE. Do not suddenly stop taking Nitroglycerin Patch without your doctor's approval.
I had decompression and fusion surgery with instrumentation a little over 2 years ago. I have been left with excrutiating pain since, my question is, can I safely use an inversion table to hopefully experience relief from the pain? I have been on pain meds for 4 years and they are taking their toll and instead of having surgery again to remove the harware and redo the fusion i would like to try the inversion table but am scared it could do more damage.
I still had stable angina every time I did some for of cardio activity or is I ate something with sodium. I started using Nitroglycerin patches and even have the pills just in case my angina episode occurs.
I had a date and I read online that you can't take viagra and any nitrates cause it can drop your blood pressure really low. So I stopped using my nitroglycerin for about 48 hours so I can take the Viagra.
ed is correct nitro dilates vessels.
I take a nitrate (isosorbide) for more than 6 years 3 times before going to gym for workout. My blood pressure does not drop between intervals...in fact I was told to have intervals of nitrate free period. It is true, nitro dilates the coronary vessels and prevents angina (chest pain). The patch should only be worn for up to 12 to 14 hours a day, or as directed by your doctor, but continued use with no interruptions can cause a tolerance for drug....
I only take isosorbide prior to a workout, and nitro when engaged in an activity that brings on angina. I understand your doctors are suggesting taking isosorbide daily as aschemia does not always produce angina even though the heart cells are not getting sufficient blood supply. This can lead to a silent heart attack so the medication is recommended continuously whether there is angina or not and older people in general are likely to have a silent heart attack.
The pain lasts anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. I have been prescribed nitroglycerin to take as needed for chest pain and this medicine surely helps. I've had several EKGs and cardiac enzymes done which were all normal. I also had a threadmill/stress test done which was normal. My cardiologist thinks the the probability of me having an occluded/blocked coronary artery is very low.
Husband started using an inversion table. He is 70 and in good health except for an enlarged heart. Is it safe for him to use the table without risk to his heart???? Thank you, Marcy.
They had not increased in size since xray October 2008. He had decided to not do another Lithotripsy at this time. He started using an Inversion table mid January for stretching out his back. Since he started using the table he has passed over 40 stones. It appears they could be the "dust" left from the Lithotripsy. the dust being small crystals. What is going on?
My two options are to either do an inversion (they manually turn your baby) or have a C-Section? I have no clue what to do. I really wanted a natural birth but I'm afraid of stressing the baby if I do an inversion...but if I have a C-Section, I'll have to depend on others to do things for me (which I hate). What would you choose?!
The doctor said the left heart was okay but found a narrowing in the right heart which caused coronary spasms during the test. IV nitroglycerin during the test stopped the spasms and dilated the vessel. He did not mention any other problems and recommended sublingual nitroglycerin to treat the spasms as they occur.
My Dr mentioned getting an external inversion procedure. Dr still wants a moré detailed ultrasound since the baby is small before inversion. I wonder if anyone knows of things to do to help baby move. Also have anyone had this procedure done before?
I was open for anything until I found inversion therapy. I use inversion therapy to realign my spine and yoga for strength. Sounds way too simply, I felt the same way, trust me IT WORKS. I may need surgery in the future, but for now I am healing and loving life again! No doubt it's a pinched nerve, continue to seek help, try inversion and you'll recover! Good luck!!!
I've never heard of nitroglycerin being used to treat migraine, but glad that it worked.
But if it keeps on, and sorry to tell you this, but you probably should see a doctor ASAP. It could be the sign of a coming stroke, since it is sudden and very painful. I started with a sudden very different migraine than any I had ever had before. It turned out that within 3 weeks, longer than usual as a gap in time, I had a full carotid artery dissection stroke.
The same with his recent heart catherization was chest pressure. In the ER he was given 2 nitroglycerin, 5 minutes apart, the chest pressure went away after the 2nd nitroglycerin.
Does any good specialist in cardiology think that my husband should have the open heart surgery for bypasses considering the risks regarding his age, his diabetes?
I would appreciate very explanatory answers, easy to understand, what to do in my husband's situation.
Thankyou.
I assume the diagnosis of hyperreactive responses not only to the constrictor effects of acetylcholine, but also the dilator effects of nitroglycerin were detected diffusely in the epicardial coronary arteries of patients with coronary spastic angina.
The goal of treatment is to control chest pain and to prevent heart attack. The pain is relieved by a medicine called nitroglycerin (dilates coronary vessels). You have been prescribed norvasc and that should relieve any chest pains.
Have recently had ECG done following chest pain.Tracing showed T wave inversion and ST wave inversion in lead 3. Have then had normal Echo, stress ECG and 24 hour Holter monitor. What could be the reasons for these ECG findings if my heart appears otherwise normal?

My Dr is going to try the inversion sometime this week. I was told that there was a good chance that an emergency c-section could occur if something happened during the inversion. So now I'm really worried!
Through my own research, I thought it was a compressed cutaneous nerve. Using an inversion table, I felt it was improving, but now it has started itching and burning, at times so badly that I can hardly stand it. Could this be because the nerve is no longer pinched and is getting the sensations back?
