I get home an hour later they call me saying they say a shadow on/around the heart..probably blockage. They immediately phone in Nitrostat, and 25 mg of Metorpolol. This has me on high alert. I went 9 minutes on the stress test with no pain what so ever. I am 40lbs overweight, fairly active, and female, I eat pretty healthy, but my family history has a lot of heart failure. I see the doctor next week. Before I go I am to fitted with a heart monitor halter for 24 hours.
5 mg Norvasc daily and 50mg metoprolol twice a day. (and 0.4 mg nitrostat as needed) But they have had no impact at all on the frequency of chest pains or exercise intolerance.
I am not Diabetic... my Gastroparesis is believed to be from either Autonomic Neuropathy or Mitochondrial Disease.
I have been tested in the past many times for adrenal issues (including pheochromocytoma) as well as cushings, carciniods, zollinger ellison....
I was diagnosed with MVP about 30 years ago. I have angina from time to time, usually when I'm at rest and I carry nitrostat with me in case the angina becomes unbearable. - MVP is very common and I only had a bad episode once when I thought a heart attack was imminent. Turned out to be an anxiety attack. However, people who have anxiety attacks frequently should be monitored by a cardiologist. At present, I see my cardiologist once a year for a check up or nuclear test.
Mostly when I lay down at night or do anything (walking, stairs,etc) right after a meal. Some shortness of breath also. I have started using the Nitrostat again but I am really depressed to think that the old symptoms can come again with all the work I've done to keep them away. I will use the NG until I get up to the "3 limit" before going back to Dr. I had 2 surgeries in 07 and that only makes this more depressing.
The cardio had also given me an rx for 25 mg metroprolol 2x daily and nitrostat. (this on top of my 30mg benazepril). But my resting pulse rate is typically 47-55, so how low would the metro send it? The cardio said try it as an "experiment." He seems to be continuing to interpret my throat tightening as angina. The throat tightening is a sensation of not being able to physically get enough air across my throat.
No. Some indications are diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, IUGR, low/high amniotic fluid, advanced maternal age, Uncomplicated pregnancies may not get NSTs.
Recent MRI of post coiled aneurysm. Report indications increased signal intensity in left frontal cortex - small area of remote infarction. No evidence of diffusion restriction to define area of acute infarction. What does this mean?
pylori are usually able to be seen by the human eye in the stomach. Most often there are indications at the surface of the tissue - the surgeon sees those, and biopsies at those locations.
But this says you don't have H. pylori, but do have indications of gastritis at the surface.
Another way to check would be to run a breath test. In that test, the H.
ZADAXIN is approved in over 30 countries worldwide for five different clinical indications (shown in table below). Currently approved indications are:
* Chronic Hepatitis B

but this drug is only approveed in the US to treat liver cancer.
anybody has any experience with this drug? Thank you.
I agree that regular exercise stress tests without imaging are rarely done anymore, but there are still some valid indications.
Im 3 days away from my due date and i havent gotten any labor indications . with my son ( this is baby #2) . i had him at 38 weeks 4 days .
Could you be thinking of Topamax, which can have the side effect of weight loss when used for other indications, so is sometimes used for that purpose?
They did send me home with a daily dose of aspirin and some nitrostat which makes me think they know something else is going on other than or along with anxiety. I was well hydrated, fed and my blood pressure meds have never caused my BP to get too low. I agree with you on the test results, but I have had a couple people I know tell me that hey didn't find any blockage with similar tests until they had an angiogram.
Hi, according to certain studies done, vestibular autorotation test (VAT) is experimental and investigational for the diagnosis of individuals with vestibular disorders or any other indications because its sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, and clinical utility have not been demonstrated.
