pacemaker

Avatar f tn j have a pacemaker which i want removed how do i go about this since i have had the pacemaker i have has depression very badlt regards cgristina
Avatar n tn I had an ablation procedure performed days ago for possible PSVT. I also had a pacemaker inserted. So far, I've been having episodes of tacycardia (pulses can be as high as 160 after a short walk), and facial flushing. I am taking Multaq 400 mg with Cardizem 30 mg BID. I've also been informed that another ablation procedure may need to take place due to the location of a possible ectopic node. I wasn't expecting to feel this way after the abalation procedure.
Avatar m tn OK I am not a doctor here, just reacting to what I think I am reading, but wow. Am I reading this correctly. Your ef has gotten better and is now 65%? hmmmm. I think I would be happy. Also 25mg seems like a small dose, and if your heart rate isn't running too slow at rest, perhaps your doctor would recommend a slight increase in your toprol? Boy this seems like a trivial dose. How do you feel about all of this?
Avatar n tn thinks this is more indicative of CF rather than RAD? Is this correct? Is it possible the newborn screen missed the CF? My daughter's defective gene in delta F 508. If the baby had this gene & a gene from Dad that is less common for CF would it show up on the newborn screen?
502070 tn?1210204494 Apparently there is mounting evidence that people who carry *one* allele for CF can be plagued with sinus and mucus problems that fall short of CF but can still be debilitating. Most doctors, I've heard, tend to be dismissive of this, but based on my exploration of this topic it seems plausible that being a CF carrier can predispose you to sputum and cough issues. I want to get tested for it.
1276121 tn?1420860600 I am a one gene mutation CF carrier which gives a 1/100 chance of baby having CF. This is an average with out testing df for CF, since the test is $650! Men with CF are infertile, so that's obviously not the case, and if he did have 1 gene mutation the chance would be 1/50. Every baby born in the state of California is tested for it at birth so im not worried. Baby measured 12w6d not 12w1d which gave a new edd of 12/17, so i hope doctor changes it.
Avatar f tn Wondering what everyone's opinion on the cystic fibrosis screening? How about the sequential testing? I don't have any family history of cf on either side, no down syndrome, autism etc. I have to make a decision by tomorrow and let my Dr know about achedyling these tests... any thoughts? Opinions? I am 50/50 now on the decision.
898040 tn?1284036509 m a carrier. This is supposedly a rare condition that can occur in CF carriers (you would know by now if you had CF). If you have been ttc a while and your OB knows you are ttc, chances are s/he has screened you for CF. If not, it's a simple blood test. When we found out I was a carrier, they tested DH. Since he is not a carrier, they had no concerns about the babies.
Avatar m tn You have cystic fibrosis and digestive problems are very common in CF patients. The antibiotic use for CF in your childhood is very common and is what kept you alive until how. Have you been checked for C Diff? Have you talked to your CF doctor about your problems?
Avatar n tn I think it would be wise for your son to get checked for CF, go to a CF accredited center where the doctors will do the appropriate tests. They usually do a sweat test first, but if that comes back inconclusive, push for a complete genetic panel (such as Ambry's complete) that tests for 1500+ mutations. I have atypical CF and was not diagnosed until I was 33 years old, but I did not present classically either. I know that all of this is overwhelming...
Avatar n tn I even reading up on this a lot because I tend to not notice too much of it for me so I was a bit concerned. I hear that not drinking enough water can be a cause. Also, I know that the purpose of the cf is to help aid the sperm to the cervix. I'm usually very "wet" during intercourse, is this cf? Or, is this just from being aroused? Would this count in place of the milly egg white cf before ovulation or does it have to be that consistency to conceive?
Avatar f tn even if both parents are carriers it's a 50 /50 chance in whether you baby will have cf... my sister and her husband have a child without cf and the other one has it but it's a lifestyle change for you and your child if it happens to have it by chance as i said it's a 50/50 chance.. don't wind your self up over it cause its just going to cause unnecessary stress for both you and the baby.
Avatar n tn Yes this is the same pancreas condition than CF kids have. But for now he is not diagnosed as having CF - negative sweat test and he did not have 2 CF mutations on an extensive genetic test. Does the poop float if you pour them in the toilets? Does it have non digested food? These are often signs of a pancreas problem. My son also has a milk allergy. Your grandson should be tested for various food allergies as well: milk, Celiac disease.
136689 tn?1419580447 my sister has been told here 5 week old has cf but looking at all the symptoms and what not we are hoping for a glimmer of hope here is is a bit of history I the aunty are a cf carrier only found out due to having test done before fertility treatment so thinking my sister is too and not sure about her husband anyway.. so her newborn screening has come back positive but she doesn't taste salty or have any cough or wheezing nothing of the sort..
Avatar n tn I have heard of so many people who slipped through the cracks. Did the docs do a genetic and or sweat test to determine the CF? I think that it is amazing that she went so long in life without a diagnosis. But, if you look into her past, she probably had subtle symptoms such as lingering respiratory illnesses, a chronic cough, perhaps sinus problems etc. She should see a CF specialist for her care. Go to the CFF site to determine one nearest to your home.
Avatar m tn my score shows 6/24 in one eye which I understand and CF in the other which I do not can anyone tel me what this means.
Avatar n tn he also has salty skin but the genetic team say my son only has a carrier gene of cf will he haveany symptons throughout his life similar to a full cf carrier?
Avatar f tn I bought CF but my doc had told me to get DM ...i called him and his nurse said he wasnt in but i should be fine just not to take a lot ...have any of you taken cf ? If so is it still ok? Im FREAKING OUT!!
Avatar f tn Are we wasting our time with the CF genetics test and the celiac labs? What else could cause these abnormal results given that he doesn't have diarrhea or fever?
