nitrostat

5520965 tn?1506009040 Hi there, Non-urgent question - sent to my cardiologist but he's out of town for a few days. I'm on Isosorbide mononitrate ( generic Imdur ) 30mg once a day, and I have an active scrip for Nitrostat as well, to treat my angina. If ever needed, can a Nitrostat SL be taken when I'm already on Isosorbide Mononitrate without harmful effect?
1500525 tn?1458529998 I was dx w/CHF in 2014. I've had 3 heart attacks & my ef was about 15 about 6 months ago. I don't take any cardiac med w/the exception nitrostat when needed bcuz I also have ALS. The 2 illnesses r completely unrelated according to the Drs I saw at Mayo, Hopkins & NIH.But for that reason I dont take any medications for the heart failure.as of lately during my last echo I was told that I now also have Afib.
Avatar n tn 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.
232967 tn?1257740086 Well yes they explain to me that I do have Heart failure but not active right now it was a couple of weeks ago when I had water on me and he increase my Lasix. I do have the Dypnea everyday and the chest pain which I'm on imdur and Nitrostat. Well I'm going to get the hang of it one day @ a time.
1500525 tn?1458529998 t take any cardiac med w/the exception of isosorbide and nitrostat when needed bcuz of a separate unrelated illness but as of lately the isosorbide isn't working well. My question is, recently I have been getting angina below my left rib cage & pretty severe dizzy spells that stop my train of thought(nothing else has changed except I have been getting pain behind my left shoulder.
888550 tn?1241030258 I just seen my Cardilogists today and he up my Lasix to 40 mg a day He keep my Coreg 12.5mg for now and My Imdur is the same and I also use Nitrostat when needed which is every other day sometimes. I aslo have Diabetic Mircovascular Heart Disease. Well in three months he is going to recheck my pressure to see where we are @ right now . It was so hard to hear him say Congestive Heart Failure and i think he didn't want to say it either I don't know why it was hard for him to say it.

Avatar f tn I noticed my morning and everyday sickness get worse when I ride in cars or go on the bus. I literally have to get off just to yack. I wonder would those motion sickness patches work? Those kinds for seasickness? Man they need to make morning sickness patches, I would buy that!
9668401 tn?1405176684 What kind of patches? I've used Lidoderm patches and it.definitely helps take the edge off. I also use.Voltaren gel as well.
648944 tn?1241469694 Hi again, everybody. Many thanks for your thoughts, especially about the patches, which might solve one of my problems with the existing regimen--that they don't seem to last for the the full 12 hours between doses. I will definitely bring that up with my PM Dr. when I see him next week. Are there some patches that are more effective than others? I am also interested in the results of the nerve ablation (sp?), and wish you the best...
Avatar m tn I just have been reading questions on how to get off of the patches, I have severe lower back pain and was on morphine last year but also have uc and the morphine was terrible on my stomach. Anyways Is there anyway to get off the patches slowly without severe withdrawals? I take 75mcg, all the answers I read were from 2011-2010 ect.. Has anyone found any new info or way to do it? Thanks you for any advice.
Avatar f tn 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....
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
805943 tn?1238093647 They did blood workup, and said my potassium was low so gave me postassium pills and did an Echo Stress Test, they said it was fine and that they were diagnosing me with GERD and gave me 2 prescriptions for Nitrostat and Asprin. My doctor is apalled, he said that nitro can actual make GERD worse. So now I have 1 doctor who says it's GERD and my doctor and the hospital ER doctor saying it's a heart problem. I am getting a second opinion from a new Cardiologist next week.
Avatar f tn I got a spray tan almost two weeks ago for my wedding. I'm noticing dark brown patches?? Is this from pregnancy? I don't see how the spray tan would randomly fade in separate areas??
Avatar n tn t really source my symptoms to anything really. It looks like ringworm patches but not really. Well, I will try to describe them the best I can. I first started to get these patches when I was 14. They start out as a light rosy red ring on the outside and a darker patch in the middle. It eventually turns all brown and just stays that way. My first patch was 6 inches left of my belly button. Another one sprouted next to it. Then one sprouted 8 inches above my belly button.
Avatar n tn I sometimes get these red patches that show up on random spots on my skin and then fade away, is it a vitamin deficiency?
338416 tn?1420045702 Sometime it feels as if liquid is running down my leg. I have the cold patches and like something crawling on my ankle and there will be nothing there.
Avatar n tn Hi, You have noted these red patches to occur immediately after showering. How would you describe these patches? Are they flat or elevated, do they itch? Any associated scaling? This may be a fungal infection or an allergic reaction. Sometimes, the skin may react to temperatures and this may be true in your case. Extreme hot and cold temperatures may cause red elevated patches or rash on the skin which may spontaneously resolve. However recently, you have noted the presence of itchiness.
