88793 tn?1290227177 Never heard of it. (And I frequent websites with thousands of diabetics). Is there a special reason your doctor is concerned about your kidneys? The best protection for your kidneys is the same thing that protects against other diabetic complications: Well-controlled blood sugar.
Avatar f tn I read about a trial where they were using Candesartin (Atacand) to prevent scar tissue from forming in the liver, as it's an angiotensin receptor blocker. Atacand saved my life. I had heart failure, almost on the transplant list. I found a great doc at UCDavis (after firing one in Auburn who almost killed me), who put me on the Atacand. My heart is now normal! So when I saw this trial I was really curious.
Avatar n tn What does her doctor say? I would follow her dr.s advice.
Avatar f tn It sounds like you've been on these meds long enough and it's time to change them. I don't understand why your Dr wants you to continue taking them when there are other meds to try you on that very well may not have these side effects. Be persistent with him. It's what you have to do sometimes. Your doing everything right. Now, to get your Dr to try you on a different med. If he won't listen is it possible to see a different Dr?
1557045 tn?1294555036 I just would like some ideas or guidance as to what could be wrong with me. Firstly I have been diagnosed with a Bicuspid Aortic Valve with moderate insufficiency 5 weeks ago. I was diagnosed as my heart looked a little bigger than it should be on a chest X-ray. I am 31 yrs old. I am 6'2 and 255lbs. Have always been going to the gym, use to do lots of weight lifting and cardio, now I stick to lighter weights and at least 1 - 1.5 hours of walking a day (to lose some weight).

Avatar n tn A couple months ago I had an outbreak of shingles....in my throat. It was excruciating pain in my throat and ear. With medication, the blisters disappeared, but my sense of taste was all fouled up when I was able to eat again. At first, things tasted metallic or chemically, then that subsided and things tasted like cardboard, and now, I can taste mostly extremely salty or sweet food.

Avatar m tn I am aware that you should not do heavy weight lifting with an ascending aortic aneurysm but what about resistance bands? It gives a pretty decent upper body workout but not sure it causes a spike in blood pressure. I would think it would be similar to rowing. Any thoughts?
