Avatar f tn But no measures will prevent Ménière disease, but you can take preventive measures to avoid or minimize attacks and consequences of attacks, like reducing salt in your diet, reduction of stress, quit smoking and avoidance of exposure to loud noises. Medications such as Valium and Compazine are prescribed to decrease the severity of the symptoms. But they may be contraindicated while breast feeding. So, you will have to take adequate precautions.
Avatar f tn As your MRI clearly suggests the damage I would suggest you to go for lifestyle changes, weight reduction, and proper regular physiotherapy and to try all conservative measures to slowly recover. If this does not help then you have to start discussing with an orthopedic surgeon or a neurosurgeon for surgery. Take care!
642877 tn?1281799282 Thanks for your input. The thing I'm wondering is to what degree that stress test measures your heart's efficiency as opposed to the ability of your muscles to run on what the heart's dishing out. In other words you could have a low ejection fraction and do reasonably well simply because you have highly conditioned muscles. With the stress echo they are also looking at the heart directly as you exercise.
Avatar f tn What the baby measuring small during the 1st ultrasound. Cuz that the one that counts for finding our how far along u r. If it just measures small on the last but measure around the same on the 1st one as ur dates that means ur due date is correct just it's a small baby.
Avatar m tn My doctor have stated that obesity is the culprit. I am now on weight reduction program. Does effective weight reduction help me do away with meds. Also I had very rough last two months in terms of mental stress and additional alcohol. Would that have been a reason for the spike. I have now quit both smoking and drinking and hitting the gym along with diet control program. I read in a lot of BP blogs that the natural way of controlling BP is to reduce weight and alter the diet.
Avatar f tn There's a really wide range of what's "normal". Did they seem concerned or just kind of tossed it off like it wasn't a big deal? A baby on the smaller side can be just as healthy as a big one as long as it isn't TOO small (or TOO big!). 6 pounds at birth has just about exactly the same outcomes as 9 pounds at birth - totally normal. Don't worry about it unless your doctor tells you there's reason to be concerned.
862235 tn?1336060295 No measures will prevent Ménière disease, but she can take preventive measures to avoid or minimize attacks and consequences of attacks, like reducing salt in her diet, reduction of stress, quit smoking and avoidance of exposure to loud noises. Also, I would strongly caution her not to drive or operative heavy machinery while dizzy as she might injure herself or others. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn Sleep therapy along with sleep hygiene (avoiding caffeine, alcohol and tobacco as well as stress reduction) in due course of time helps the patient get proper night sleep. You should also not read or watch TV while in bed and go to bed only when you feel very sleepy. The other treatment options available are bright light therapy and chronotherapy. Your doctor may advise you some Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which might improve your sleep.
Avatar m tn Also, I have low blood oxygen (High Hemoglobin and High Hematocrit) and low carbon dioxide. I know the cardiopulmonary stress test measures gas exchange during exercise. I just don't want to have to do both tests at some point, if there is nothing wrong with my heart. Is a cardiac stress test sufficient? Would it be odd for me to call my PCP and request the test? The test is being performed at a cardiology office.
Avatar m tn “We recently reported clinical data from our Phase 2a study at AASLD showing that a single dose of ARC-520 can achieve a reduction of up to 99% in hepatitis B surface antigen, and nonclinical data at HepDART showing that multiple doses of ARC-520 were associated with immune reactivation in 7 of 9 chimpanzees studied. These data make us very eager to see results as they emerge from MONARCH and our other multiple dose studies,” said Christopher Anzalone, Ph.D., Arrowhead president and CEO.
Avatar n tn I understand that it is entirely possible that while air cleaners can contribute to reduction in symptoms, the use of an air cleaner alone (i.e. without taking other measures) may not provide benefit. If air purifiers can at least offer the possibility of symptom reduction, I am willling to spend a reasonable amount of money (say up to $ 500?), realizing and accepting the risk that symptoms will not improve. Can you recommend a particular "technology" of air purifier?
568407 tn?1218068521 I am 36 and am 8 weeks 4 days pregnant and have just discovered through an US after cramping in my left side that my left ovary measures 3.5 x 2.2 x 2.7 cm and attached to this left ovary is a large complex solid and cystic mass in the left adnexa, measuring (5.4 x 2.4 x 5.4 cm) with evidence of a large mural nodularity, the largest of which measures (3.4x2.7x3.0 cm) There is no hypervascularity. The right ovary is unremarkable, measuring 4.7 x 2.4 x 3.2 cm. No free fluid is identified.

Avatar n tn I think most of us who have had angina attacks or a heart attack will have somewhat different symptoms, sometimes no symptoms, but generally cardiac chest pain doesn't increase when the area of the pain is touched. Also, cardiac symptoms are generally explained as 'pressure' or a 'clutching' sensation. That being said, something is causing you discomfort and as I have read and heard many times, chest pains need to be investigated.
Avatar f tn Are you stressed? Because stress can cause an increase of acid production. So, if you are stressed, stress reduction measures are important to take. Not smoking is also a big plus when it comes to acid reflux. Have you made recommended changes in your diet for the gastritis? Did they check a gastrin level on you? Did they take a close look at your throat on the way down to your stomach for signs of damage from acid?
Avatar n tn I had a gated stress test and the report states: myoview stress test: stress and resting spec views of heart were obtained in vertical long axis, horizontal long axis and in short axis projection. There is uniform distribution of isotope throughout the myocardium following stress. Resting scan reveals similar findings. No reversible changes are noted. Ejection fraction measures 69%. All of that sounds ok then primary diagnostic code is minor abnormality! What is abnormal?
1298665 tn?1272693053 An AFib diagnosis to me strongly suggests some measures to reduce blood clot formation (not a cure, just a risk reduction). Did your doctor say anything about taking an aspirin or an anticoagulant? If your HR is constantly high, I assume you are in permanent AFib. Is that correct? If yes, this makes the above question especially important.

Avatar m tn Hi what would be normal watts for a quite sedentary younger man on a bicycle stress test. Alternatively what is considered average in METS in a stress test. Im quite overweight at 103 kg and 187 cm.
Avatar f tn But to my knowledge they have told me my sugar and blood pressure is fine I passed the GD test and im not due till January 7 and they say he measures big so I was wondering why the test is being done if it could be because he's measuring bigger
Avatar f tn I had a myocardial profusion scan awhile back but did not complete the resting part due to very bad reaction to radioactive tracer.It said" there was a reduction in the tracer uptake within the septum proximally and also within the anterior wall in the region of mid ventricle.gated acquisition shows no thickening or motion abnormality.
4983320 tn?1378402268 t any protein in my urine, but they want to watch for it. My doctor is having me do the non stress test Sunday. What should I expect?
Avatar m tn Ozonolysis is a minimal invasive interventional option that can be tried in disc bulge where conservative measures have failed. During treatment, ozone is injected into the intra-vertebral disc and the para-spinal tissue under CT guidance. It works by oxidizing the nucleus pulposus (internal material of the disc), reducing the pressure on the disc, return of protruded disc material and reduction in compression on surrounding structures/ nerves.
Avatar m tn I just wanted to ask you guys in case that I might shave my self there is a risk that I can infect myself again?! What are hygiene measures that I need to follow? For example my toothbrush can infect me again? Usually I have some blood coming out from the tooth. For the moment I have stopped washing my teeth an shaving.
Avatar m tn These tests look at completely different things, so yes. Its alot to break down but basically.. Stress tests look at electricity and wall motion. Ct angiograms look at blood flow. Contrast mri and nuclear medicine looks at perfusion (how well muscles soak up blood). So you can have a 48% reduction in blood flow, resulting in a 68% reduction in pumping action/wall motion and a 20% loss of perfusion all in 1, yes.
Avatar f tn If you have asthma and are in a flare, then treat the flare so there is a reduction in the inflamation so that the trapped air can then be exhaled, yes. I am sure there are other disease that this would also happen with. Feel better.
Avatar f tn If you are under a lot of stress, stress reduction would be advised as well. And if you smoke, that can cause GERD problems too. I don't smoke, but don't do well with the diet & currently am taking two prescription drugs plus liquid anti-acid. CMV is a very common virus in the herpes family that can be caught from what looks like as easily as a cold! A lot of people don't know they have it, but when it is active, it can really cause a lot of problems in some people.
15192678 tn?1439084434 Today, we fight for every reduction in pain score we can get. We do it through a variety of methods -- providing support here is one. Education is another. Mentoring of young pain doctors, and life-coaching of old, burnout docs. And telling the world of the #1 epidemic in America today, discounting mass psychosis -- 100 million Americans who live with daily, intractable moderate to severe pain. A majority of the 100-million do not know where to turn.
