MI occurred while surfing, 1 hour till intervention in ER, Cardiologist did not put any new stents in but did ballon on 2 areas that had formed the thrombosis, he also removed another thrombosis. Ejection fraction was estimated in hospital at 50.
I am presently taking Zetia every other day. I also take Omega 3/6, vitamin A,E. With Zetia interfere with the absorption of the benefits of these supplements and if so what can I do to get the full benefit of Zetia and the supplements, if anything.
Ar there any other supplements that should be avoided while taking Zetia?
Many thanks.
also be aware that the big decline will be at 48-72 weeks with your hbv mutations and hbeag negative
the difference of fibroscan between 4 and 6 is meanless, you have nothing to worry
you may try to see if intf response can be increased by ezetimibe (zetia) or smvastatin.
Effient-10mg, Zestril-2.5mg bid, Zetia-10mg, Lovaza-2g bid, along with those I already take which are: Toprol XL-50mg, Crestor-40mg, Zantac-150mg, and Aspirin-325mg.
Now, it's been almost a week since my procedure and beginning the new meds. I have had an increasingly severe headache and dizziness on standing since I got home from the procedure with hot flashes, night sweats and also a low-grade fever last night. Could my symptoms be a result of one of the medicines or combinations?
My left hand gets numbness or a sort of vibration and my right hand elbow gets pain.
Medicines I take : 2 Diabend-M tabs (1 in the morning & 1 in the night) , Crestor 10mg (1 tab) , Ecospirin 75mg (1 tab) and Neurobion Forte ( 1 tab)
I take a half a spoon of a powder made from wild jeerakam, carom seeds and fenugreek everyday. Also I take one grapefruit everyday and generally avoid rice, instead I take chappathi. My fasting blood sugar in the morning is between 110 and 140.
At that point, our doctor added 10 mg Zetia to his regimen because of elevated LDL particles. Also, my husband stopped all alcohol (he was a social drinker, around 2-3 glasses of wine per week) and NSAID's. A month later most of his LFT's were elevated, ALT 79, GGTP 178, ALP 113 & AST on upper end of normal at 40. The doctor said to stop the Lipitor...but stay on the Zetia...... and retest in 1-1/2 weeks which he did this past Sept. 30th.
Iam taking tab cordorone-100mg once daily, tab Eptus(epleronone)-25mg oncedaily,dytor-10mg,acetrome-3mg,
Lanoxine-.25mg(1/2tab),metoprolol succinate-50mg(morning),25mg(bed time).
Question is why the LA becoming such a large size,is there any chances of heart failure with this enlargement.Is there any surgery or any procedure to reduce the size of Lv size.Is it a reason for getting week n weight loss.
Crestor is a statin (rosuvastatin calcium) only, Vytorin is a statin (Simvastatin) with Zetia (ezetimibe). Statins work by controlling the production of cholesterol in your liver while Zetia works by preventing cholesterol to be absorbed in your digestive system.
Of the two, Crestor is the stronger of the two. In addition, recent trials have shown that adding Zetia does not improve the performance of Vytorin over Simvastatin alone.
I have been having some highCholesterol level for 3 years now. I was on medication in and out as I develop side effects to the statin drugs. I was on Lipitor, then on Pravachol and lastly on Crestor. None of them had problems loweting the Choesterol levels, but muscle and joint pain even with Vit D and Co Q10 as prescribed my physician. However, I came off crestor yesterday as I started feeling Dizzy. I am normally a "healthy", active energetic person.
Hydorochlorot 50 mg/1xday;Lyrica 100 mg/1 tab 2x day; Zetia 10mg/ 1x day; and Ultram WR 100mg/1 tab a day as needed for pain. I have been having blood in my urine on occasion since Dec. of 2007, which does not show any indication of infection. I had a bladder and kidney ultra sund with the results coming back normal. I only have this blood when I do more than I normally do or when I have high level of stress.
Incidentally, unrelated to GA, I started taking Zetia for cholesterol about 3 years ago and soon thereafter developed a severe chronic cough that nearly drove me crazy (and everyone around me!) I saw several doctors and was given many different medicines.
A healing leg (just out of cast) prohibits stress testing and the dr said he wouldn’t get the results he wanted anyway. I take aspirin 325, plavix, 80mg lipitor, protonix (just to protect stomach), 10mg zetia, capoten 25mg 3x, imdur 60mg 2x. I did have high blood pressure (150+/80+ p90) but am now unexplainably low 80/60 p 60 while on same meds. My question is – what do I do now?. Could these new stents possibly be failing?
30am and the second at 2:30pm (very close together). My heart rate dropped to 55, but my BP also dropped to 90/43. I have very low BP to begin with... I felt okay, a little light headed, but no more pounding. Thought i would finally sleep through the night, but an hour in I awoke to my heart racing and pounding. This carried on for the entire night; drifting, waking, drifting, waking and so on.
Here are my questions.
1.
Can anyone explain to me why I still had a heart attack even while taking the following meds atenenol 50mg bid, HCTZ 25mg daily, zetia 40mg daily, plavix 25mg daily, welchol 625mg bid. Also what is the chance of a second heart attack
My Aortic Valve, Tricuspid Valve, and my Mitral Valve are failing because they are stenotic and regurgitative. The Aortic valve is in the worst shape of the three they tell me. I have psoriatic arthritis and ankolosing spondylitis. all joints are involved.
Ever since I started taking Zetia and Fenofibrate together as recommended by my DR, I have put on pounds, am more bloated around the belly,a nd have persistent chest pains. I noticed this has occurred ever since I have been on cholesterol lowering meds, but is more noticeable in the past year with the new combination of drugs. I mentioned this to my DR and he said I need the drugs because of my High Cholesterol. What do you think?
