Avatar n tn If the walls are too thin, then I would think the Beta Blockers would be the drugs of choice. What are you calling a "small" fainting spell? You either faint or you don't. Or are you referring to: Pre-syncope which is where everything goes black and your hearing goes, but you don't actually FAINT? Either way, this is common with the problem you have. You may want to have a Tilt Table Test done to see exactly what your BP is doing.
1444204 tn?1284374563 And sensitivity to MSG is heightened when the bowel is inflamed due to irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Special cells in the walls of the intestines (known as mast cells) have been shown to play a major role in intestinal diseases. Glutamate (MSG, etc.) stimulates these cells to release histamine, intensifying bowel inflammation and damage.
1411632 tn?1281642993 I was referred to a cardiologist who recommended a pacemaker. What are the odds that in that 24 hour halter test there are 4 pauses but now my pacemaker has not recorded any in an 8 month period? I also did not have tachycardia until after the pacemaker implantation. Can the pacemaker have triggered this since it is a "foreign" object in the heart?
Avatar n tn septum is the wall that separates the left and right chambers and the test suggests there is some impairment of movement that can be the result of damaged heart cells. Small degree inferseptum ischemia indicates the vessels that provide blood to the septum is mildly reduced due to (usually) blockage. Worst case scenario.
1744581 tn?1311302411 I dont know if the lead can cause such effects, but hypokinesis is sometimes reversible. It depends on whether heart cells are dead or hibernating. It of course negatively influences ejection fraction (depending on position in heart), which can make you feel tired. In time, things still can improve. I understand your frustration.
Avatar n tn Usually, the heart muscle cells keep time more slowly than normal pacemaker cells. This allows the pacemaker cells within the SA node to be in control of generating and pacing the heartbeat. But, if a particular group of cells in areas remote from the SA node become extra- or hyper-excitable they can take over as the pacemaker for one or several beats, or for a longer term. You might think of the heart's cells as a schoolyard full of young boys playing soccer.
Avatar f tn If she had a general anesthesia when she had her surgery, constipation sometimes occurs afterward as a result of the gut motility not returning to normal immediately after the anesthesia, but nine days is a long time and I would be worried that she is impacted or something after all this time without a bowel movement. Call your vet first thing in the morning and tell him everything she has been eating or not eating, doing or not doing, etc.
Avatar n tn If the cells are dead, a cath would not be of any help. If the cells are hibernating due to low blood flow to the area, medication can increase the blood flow to the area....angina with stress and rest normal blood flow. Your symptoms, if any, would be the issue to correct. If you are having chest pain (angina) with exertion and rest relieves the chest pain that would be stable angina and medication can be effective.
Avatar f tn The location of the motor stimulus of the gastric pacemaker is suggested to be placed at the input areas the acupuncture sites 'feed' to.
Avatar f tn on a daily basis and are specialists in the field of sports medicine and the heart and what falls within the normal guidelines....have a great weekend viji....................
Avatar n tn I do not know what the black substance was, or what the results of exposure may be. However, the skipped beats may be caused simply by confusion in the heart muscle itself. Your heart cells are all capable of contracting and causing the heart to beat. Usually, this job is segregated to specific cells that most people refer to as the "natrual pacemaker." However, as I said before, ALL heart cells are capable of triggering a contraction.
Avatar f tn That can be determined between you and your doctor. Medication, ablation and pace maker are some of the treatment methods if it is necessary. https://www.nmihi.com/t/ventricular-tachycardia.htm But the first step is having a doctor listen to you and reconfirm diagnosis. Let us know how this transpires.
484267 tn?1239037973 Suspicious cytologies make up approximately 10 percent of FNA's. The thyroid cells on these aspirates are neither clearly benign nor malignant. Twenty five percent of suspicious lesions are found to be malignant when these patients undergo thyroid surgery. These are usually follicular or Hurthle cell cancers. Therefore, surgery is recommended for the treatment of thyroid nodules from which a suspicious aspiration has been obtained.

Avatar n tn ll have to wait a pacemaker expert/technician for the answer, but (not knowing what a generator is, a sub-part of the embedded pacemaker device?) it seems to me you should ask this question of whoever installed the new generator. For those of us learning from reading these posts, you may want to explain "hiccoughing" - did you mean "hiccuping"? Either way, I don't know what it may mean, other pacemaker patients. My response should not deter their inputs.
255722 tn?1452546541 This allows the pacemaker cells within the SA node to be in control of generating and pacing the heartbeat.

Some are inherently quick and fast and are always on top of the game, while others usually play a little slower.
Avatar f tn and pacer tech but I have a lump where the pacemaker is protruding and is close to coming thru the skin. Also, on the left side of the pacemaker it is also sticking out and trying to come thru my skin. It also partially flips (about 1/3 of the way) over whenever I raise my left arm. I am leery of returning to my dr to find out he will have to re-insert the pacer thanks to the last experience in the OR.
Avatar f tn It sounds as if it is moving in the pocket. Depending on the amount of excursion nothing may need to be done, but if there is excessive movement then you may need a pocket revision. What kinds of activities are you participating in that my have contributed to this: such as swimming, golfing, or other repetitive movement type of activities?
401554 tn?1270213756 Mainly, you need to talk to your doctor about this. Herbs and supplements are not regulated by the FDA and, given the recent news that some things that ARE regulated by the FDA aren't so well regulated, I'm always nervous about completely UNREGULATED products. I took Norpace for awhile. It is a heavy duty antiarhytmetic that suppresses the sodium and potassium channels causing the pacemaker cells to fire more "regularly.
Avatar n tn Many pacemakers these days have a form of variable rate. Some are based on body movement and others on respiration rate. I don't think a person would have trouble handling 40 degrees for a few days either, you would just have to ensure dehydration doesn't occur. I have no idea about the effects of a fixed heart rate of 70, but logically thinking about it, the main concern would be controlling blood pressure.
Avatar f tn Hi well until now I haven't really been afraid of going into labor but now for some reason I'm very afraid this is my first baby I'm young and my pregnancy is high risk because I got a pacemaker put in while I was pregnant so for that reason I've been going to the doctor more often than other people do and now that I'm 37 weeks pregnant I'm just afraid of how my labor is going to go I want the baby out but now I just wish he could just magically pop out! Any help?
Avatar f tn If symptoms not controlled with meds, then a stent implant would be the best option. Sometimes the location of the lesion, and size my preclude the stent option and a bypass would be the remaining option. There is about 26% of the heart population that don't know they have a heart problem and continue with their daily activities without symptoms. The 24% is in the heart failure range (<30%), but with proper medication the the heart's EF can be increased.
559709 tn?1215895187 Oh i also have cardiogenic syncope which i have had since i was 12. with a positve tilt table test of 15 sec heart stoppage. But since the pacemaker i have had constant skipping of heart beats that takes my breath away. with chest pain. Some days i have no energy and feel terrible! I have not been able to find a good dr. that is willing to listen and help me feel better. I would love for suggestions or any help.
Avatar m tn A close neighbor just sent me this info about Janet Jackson, as her recent vertigo symptoms that caused her to cancel appearances do sound similar to mine. http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=6043241 click on this link - it associates these symptoms with migraine pressure without headache pain. I don't have the spinning vertigo as others describe. Janet J's vertigo symptoms of feeling as if she's on a boat or floating, mirrors my experience.
Avatar m tn These toxins have been shown to stimulate the formation of new fat cells, thereby promoting weight gain. In addition, these cause leptin resistance, which significantly impairs your brain's ability to respond to the I'm full signal that's normally prompted after eating. You need to avoid sugar, GMO foods. Protein, fiber, carbohydrates, and fat in that order has the greatest effect on being satisfied.
