, to prevent strokes or heart attacks). The other drugs mentioned are anticoagulants (which interfere with coagulant proteins such as Factor Xa -- they are usually used venous-side, e.g., preventing DVT after orthopedic surgery). Either type might be used for the in between, which is the heart: for AFib clotting/strokes.
I don't know why your doc preferred to prescribe Plavix for DVT. But prasugrel and ticlopidine are next generation drugs of the same kind as Plavix.
Hi everyone,
I've been having terrible panic attacks recently which have in turn increased my anxiety over heart disease, MI, heart failure, what have you, primarily due to the experience of symptoms during my panic attacks.
I've gone to the doctor regarding my problems and I was sent to complete some blood work. Largely normal results in my lipid profile (save for HDL which was at 1.01) and my CBC came out normal too.
oops i tried to post this in the doctor forums, i made a mistake sorry!
What it does is prevent SCA, Sudden Cardiac Arrest and death which accompanies that. I suffered three near fatal heart attacks since the implant was done and knew that the device was not at fault. I was supposed to be on medications for my heart problems and ran out, so, I had the heart attacks. I also know that every seven years (or thereabouts) my device will need a battery replacement.
I am a 48 year old white male, and I have already had a total of 5 heart attacks (all within the last 5 tears). At first my doctoer thought it was due to my low HDL, as it has been lower that 28 for the last 5 years. But after my last attack, about 3 months ago, the doctors are now thinking that my body is trying to reject the 3 stents the have pkaced in me. This last attack was pretty serious, and we are planning to have a defibri;ator implanted later this month.
This would include proper diet, rest and includes exercise (good for calming anxiety AND preventing heart disease!), then add meditation, yoga, deep breathing, spirituality, etc. You can consider adding counseling with a professional such as psychologist or counselor/therapist and learn triggers, coping skills, etc. And then there is the medical route. Your doctor can point you in the direction of a therapist and talk to you about medication if you can't combat this yourself.
It turns out, it had nothing to with my heart or blood pressure, I was just really wound up and it really effected me, but I felt like something was physically and medically wrong. It came out of nowhere. I was trying to stay calm, but nothing I could tell myself would help and I just kept getting even more panic and hotness, rapid heart-rate, and uncomfortable tingling, and dizziness. Are these typical of panic attack symptoms?
Actually I heard garlic naturally kills off the gbs bacteria so you could be preventing yourself from having that later on! I also eat garlic on everything, it's yummy!
Regular, daily exercise helps a lot with anxiety and preventing panic attacks, you are constantly burning up any extra adrenaline that is in your body. Also, make sure your breathing isn't shallow which tends to happen when these occur out of fear. Breathe slowly and deeply in thru your nose and slowly out of your mouth. You can do this throughout the day anytime your start to feel anxious. I know we feel like we are going to die or pass out, but we don't and they always pass.
Hello All,
My panic attacks have returned stronger and more frequent. This after no attacks and being off meds for almost two years. Last time my attacks were infrequent and rarely strong. I was treated with Xanax .25mg 1x daily (2x if needed) 10mg Paxil and .25mg Respidal. That worked for me and along with counseling I thought I had my anxiety beat. I had weened off of everything and all was well. Then my panic attacks started to return.
The doctor said that my heart function was not reduced by much and he only gave me aspirin to help with the recovery. 3 months on I am fully recovered but I do still experience chest pain from time to time. The pain is not so server as when diagnoses was made but I am constantly worried that it may come back and I really don't understand the mild chest pain I still experience. The pain is either in the middle of my chest or slightly to the left of my chest.
They did an EKG, chest X-ray and ran blood work to check my heart enzymes. All came back clear. They believe it is stress related anxiety attacks (although never had them before).
Well, now I feel very strange, dizzy occasionally still and feel my heart thumping at times. I have no "pain" just kind of like a "ball" is in my chest and feel off. Sometimes visual things will make me dizzy as well.
I do suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, but i just want to know if my heart rate will eventually go back down to normal. I've had ekg's and echo's in the past because i have palpitations, and everything is fine, i'm healthy, but i can't get this out of my head. Should i stop worrying? Is this normal?
t think there was blockage, just no blood flow at all through the LAD. Cardiologist is baffled. Thinks my father should have been having heart attacks for a while and should be dead. No known high blood pressure. An EKG showed a 'thick heart', what ever that means. He has had reflux symptoms for about six mos. now. HELP!!!!!??????????
Doctor tried ballooning LAD with no success. Will try procedure again in the morning to see is any blood has started flowing.
My heart was racing, heart palpatations, sick to stomach, hot flashes, trembleing, etc. Took a Xanax right away. Thank God for those! I've been under a lot of stress with on & off attacks since Wednesday. I'm explaining all of this just to let you know I understand what you're going through & you are certainly not alone.
