Avatar n tn [49] Metformin is recommended to be temporarily discontinued before any radiographic study involving iodinated contrast agents, (such as a contrast-enhanced CT scan or angiogram), as the contrast dye may temporarily impair kidney function, indirectly leading to lactic acidosis by causing retention of metformin in the body.[50][51] Metformin can be resumed after two days, assuming kidney function is normal.

Avatar f tn When Dad is in heart failure he needs additional dosages of diaretics. Too much diaretic can effect kidney function and too little will effect heart function.

1204020 tn?1493698890 If you have a high BP then causes of high BP should be found out. Hyperthyroidism, renal artery stenosis (by dopplar studies or MRI), abnormal kidney function (by kidney function tests), hyper function of adrenals, Cushing’s syndrome, abnormal liver function, etc would have to be ruled out. A high BP itself can cause dizziness and nausea. I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining.

For most men, replacing testosterone improves sexual function both desire and erections but for others it often doesn’t help.

Good, healthy nutritional practices and supplementation with aged garlic extract can reverse atherosclerosis.
Avatar m tn I started experiencing erection problems at the beginning of this year. Can get it up with constant stimulation but it shoots right back down when stimulation stops. I also lost morning wood. Prior to this, I was able to get rock hard. Doctor intially thought it was just a depression/anxiety problem, so I started getting talk therapy and started a med for depression. I got placed on a med that won't hinder erectile function.
Avatar m tn I have been to the urologist and he has tested me for diabetes and measured my sex hormone levels (testosterone and free testosterone, prolactin etc). All of these test have returned normal. I am also going to have a night time tumescence test done to rule out psychological causes. I am pretty sure it is not a psych problem as I do not get morning erections and cannot get erections when masturbating.
Avatar m tn BP can also go to higher side after a physical activity like climbing stairs, running etc and this comes back to normal after rest. It can also be to due to anxiety and stress. Hence careful tests like kidney function test, stress test or treadmill test, ECHO, EKG, BP monitoring, and complete hormonal profile needs to be done. I understand most of these test have been done.
Avatar m tn numbness in hands and feet, dizziness, pain in my right flank. Doctor ran tests to check liver and kidney function, and everything came back normal. Brain and spine MRIs also normal. The other problem I have experienced is total loss of libido and difficulty achieving erection. My doctor gave me testosterone shots, then sent me to an endocrinologist, who took me off the shots and ran tests after 60 days. Testosterone was normal (492) but FSH was low. I go back in 3 months.
