Avatar n tn Exercise stress test without ECG evidence of ischemia. Abnormal regional wall motion with stress. Post exercise wall motion shows hypokinesis involving the mid lateral and apical lateral segments. There is normal systolic function at rest with a visually estimated EF of 60%. At peak stress, EF is normally improved." I do not know what any of this means and how serious it is. I am scheduled to see a cardiologist tomorrow. Can you help me understand what is happening?

4152590 tn?1350772856 I had a bad night last night. First, I had to sit through a 5 hour meeting yesterday and developed what i think is sciatic nerve pain down my left buttock and leg. I've had this kind of pain before and don't think it's MS related. Then, last night, I was working on an important document on my computer and lost it. Needless to say, I was very upset. It was late, so I just called it a night.
Avatar f tn Hey hey...long time no talk...but i know you're always around kepping an eye on things. ;) Talking to your dr doesn't have to mean taking meds. So yeah...do it for sure cuz there can be alot of ways to overcome anxiety without taking a pill...addictive or not. discuss it with him/her and state what your concerns are and see what you can come up with. This will totally pass.... A few days ago you were feelin so good and were full of energy ..... It can't be like that everyday ....
Avatar f tn Can exercise and healthy eating help reduce stress and anxiety and hence associated allergy symptoms?
1091003 tn?1257710173 m not sure what the cause and effect here is, but as you say, exercise is supposed to reduce stress. Still, if you suffer from anxiety and for some unrelated reason you had some heart palps after/during exercise and then go it in your mind the exercise caused the problem... well it could be that's enough to trigger it. I think you should talk with you doctor about treatment for anxiety and see if that helps.
Avatar f tn My mom had high cholesterol (but never had clogged arteries.) I've had a tendency towards it as well but am thin, work out and have a good diet. Three years ago, my cholesterol came back at 280 (total) with LDL at 156. I told my dr. I'd exercise/diet for 3 months and if that didn't work, I'd go on meds. After daily exercise and strict diet (hardly any saturated fat) my total cholesterol was brought down to 198.
Avatar f tn Treatment depends on the phase of thyroiditis and degree of symptoms that patients exhibit. Women presenting with thyrotoxicosis may be treated with beta blockers to decrease palpitations and reduce shakes and tremors. As symptoms improve, the medication is tapered off since the thyrotoxic phase is transient. Antithyroid medications (seeHyperthyroid brochure) are not used for the thyrotoxic phase since the thyroid is not overactive.
642877 tn?1281799282 Reasons for getting a stress test: A stress test is performed to determine causes of chest pain, the exercise capacity of the heart, appropriate exercise levels in those beginning an exercise program, and to identify rhythm disturbances during exercise.

Avatar n tn Is there a drug that I can use to reduce my stress levels while trying to conceive and taking fertility medifcine? I have this theory - my periods started being irregular in my final school year when I was 18 - and the year was very stressful. The dr then said I will have problem trying to conceive - which was true until I fell pregnant with my son without trying to conceive(a very stress free period in my life). That was 6 years ago - and no lucky surprises since then.
Avatar m tn The only thing that I have found to reduce fatigue is moderate exercise. Obviously you don't want to overdo it. If you exercise excessively, that will increase your fatigue. But I find that 10 - 20 minutes of moderate cardio (such as walking, running, stationery bike or elliptical) followed by 5 minutes of stretches and 10 minutes of mild weight training works well. For some reason, the weight work is more easily tolerable than the cardio.
Avatar f tn there's no cure but you can help your body/immune system suppress/"clear" the virus by eating healthy (dark leafy greens/fuits/veggies), no smoking/drinking(reduce drinking), no sex w/ someone who smokes (the toxins in cigaretts accelerates the virus), no tampons, exercise, take multi w/ folic acid (@ least 800mg per day), reduce stress..the procedures you mentioned don't get rid of the virus..only the possible symptoms..
Avatar f tn can I refuse to do a nuclear stress test? I have a treadmill at home and can barely complete 3-5 minutes on it without be tired and out of breath. I have an echo on the same day and think whatever info needed could come from that. Or should I just do what I can do but I don't want to be forced to complete the 15min order by the dr??
Avatar f tn yes, absolutely. The body isn't designed to cope with prolonged episodes of stress on a regular basis. The whole system was put there for fight/flight response so we could fight our enemy or run away. Unfortunately, society is geared around activating this system virtually non-stop.
Avatar f tn Long before I had problems with AFib I was told exercise helps reduce stress.. seems you have proven that in your case. Or, do you think it is something else, other than lower stress? I no longer go to a "fitness" center, dropped my membership when I could no longer run on the treadmill. I figure why pay to walk, I can walk in the neighborhood for "free". Anyway, I never got to where I enjoyed working out - I always looked forward to the end of the workout period.
Avatar m tn You post reads like most of your palpitations are pretty normal and exercise should help reduce them if you exercise without too much exertion/strain. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and yes stop smoking, and control your BP and lose some weight will all pay benefits on how you feel. Stress, where ever it comes from, has to be dealt with in a way that works, maybe exercise, maybe diversion (golf, reading, friends... whatever works) as stress and trigger heat palpitation.
Avatar f tn What are some ideas to reduce stress while pregnant? My job and my family make me very stressed and I need help to reduce my stress. Im looking for a new job and have been applying but still need ideas.
Avatar f tn This said, if it will give you peace of mind do seek a second opinion though you very well will get the same results. Your best bet is to watch your diet, exercise and find ways to reduce stress. And hang out here and talk to people so you can see you are not alone. Many people have them. Take care.

Avatar n tn s those hormones that affect the baby. If you exercise, eat well, and do things to help reduce stress - prayer, deep breathing, massage etc you can help buffer the effects. So it is bad, but if handled smartly you can avoid preterm labor and other negative effects.
