I had a peanut butter sandwich this morning and a glass of milk (cheesey huh?) because I was going to eat dinner at my in-laws today and didn't want to fill up. I've been having this strange pain on...
blood pressure has been running fine lately, I adjusted the diet down again to mostly mulch and grass (salad and veggies) and it seems to be somewhat stable. Although, the other night I became...
Chest pain is never something to take lightly, however a pain that goes away as fast as it can be is most likely a spasm or heartburn. You should see your doctor to find out exactly what it is. In...
High Blood Pressure ("HPB") is not considered a form of heart-disease however it is a VERY major contributing factor. I should also like to point out that sustained levels of high blood pressure...
I do relaxaton methods and it does go down. I'm just annoyed at the fact that it goes up at night time. I don't eat a lot of salty foods, in fact I don't eat a lot of anything usually aside from a...
Is it possible this test could have been wrong? Every here and there my legs will feel like they're going to give out and if I eat something (usually soda/juice) I feel better in up to 10/15 minutes....
Have been feeling good for five days. Tonight, face started getting warm again -- checked BP 150/83 *SIGH* :sad:...
Doctor got the blood test results back. No diabetes or hypoglycemia but I do feel better after eating sugar when I feel kind of weak. He says it's just a dietary thing and that I need to learn how to...
I am just making sure that Outlaw is aware that stopping a PPI can be counter-productive. I'm just speaking from personal experience as someone who stopped taking a PPI and had his symptoms get ten...
The symptoms you describe are very common with protonix which is why when people tell me they are taking it, I advise them to ask their doctor about how long they'll be taking it. My internist is...
It just so happens that my wife is employed in the medical health world. I have a list here of stuff they say you should eat after heart surgery (must be good for you too!). Beans (low salt) Broccoli...
If it is Sinus Tachycardia they will likely just give you a very mild beta-blocker (5-15mg) and send you on your way. Sinus Tach is not life threatening (98% of the time) and usually the only way to...
I think it is also worth noting the fact that "tachycardia" is a broad-term applied to ANY condition or person wherein the heart is beating faster than a one hundred beats per minute. Tachycardia...
There is no guaranteed cure for reflux disorder except surgery. Proton Inhibitors are designed for short-term use normally to allow the esophogeal passage to heal from all the errosion it has been...
endoscopy is a very routine procedure. It is one hundred percent painless and there is no discomfort afterwards - unless of course you count the gas pain you might have afterward it's fairly easy....
The PPI is to reduce the reflux so that any harm caused by the refluxing of acid can heal. Prematurely stopping may be counter-productive....
I don't know if a barrium swallow is effective in determining acid reflux however I do know it is good for finding esophogeal problems as well as hiatal hernias in patients. You should ask your...
I you are having symptoms which constrict your nostrils or your airway it is imperative that you discuss this with your physician immediately. If things such as allergy medication reduce your...
If you have been positively identified by an internist as having reflux disorder you should stick to taking your PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) as directed. You should make sure you take it with a glass...
While I am not a physician, I can say that your symptoms seem very similar to the symptoms I have experienced in my lifetime with GERD. Although only a Gastro Internist can say for certain, you can...
If it puts your mind at ease - during my hayday with palpitations for six months (before my medication) I was seeing palpitations up to and over 200 a minute almost daily and talk about frequent...
Thanks Warren. I felt a little wobbly today and so I made some tea with a tablespoon of honey and one sugar and I have felt great for six hours. Feeling a little lousy right now, going to repeat the...
Is there medication that might be prescribed or should I just sit and let life take it's course on this one and go with a better diet and excercise course?...
Apparently a new scientific study confirms that sunflower seeds (handful) contain 75% of the daily amount of vitamin e and folic acid. Read the link down below for the actual story....
Warren, Thanks for the answer. A lot of those symptoms sound like some things I've been having lately. I suppose my doctor is not as quacky as I had once thought. It just becomes frustating over the...
Hi, I'm the resident hypocondriac (partly my fault, partly my doctors!). This morning my doctor had me back in his office to see how I was getting along with the blood pressured meds he had...
I get this too. I think the reason for this is pronged sort to speak. When you lay down at night, your mind tends to wander on you and you have a lot more time to think about everything so sometimes...
Has anyone noticed their pressure increases during the day? I took my pressure this morning/afternoon and the results were favorable (130's over 70's). I took it tonight and it's 157/84 :(...
Why is it people with hypertension need to take two or three pills before they even get relief. Are most hypertension meds just sugar pills or?...
I have been to several doctors for relatively the same thing bandit and the consensus is one of three things: 1) I am bringing it on myself (panic/anxiety attack) 2) It is caused by fibromyalgia 3)...
I have had a murmor since I was born and it's never affected me. I don't know what kind YOU have but I can tell you whatever it is that I have does not bother my lifestyle one bit - worrying about it...
I'm 26 as of last November. I just started feeling kind of warm tonight again and I went to check my BP (154/80). I did some breathing excercises (in through the nose, deep breathe out the mouth) for...
Is anyone here hypertensive and especially sensitive to it? When my BP goes around 145-150 range I start feeling warm and sometimes my head will hurt. Has anyone come up with a way to feel at least a...
mine is a wrist monitor and seems to be pretty on-key with what my doctor said. I'm really not too obsessive or worried about my blood pressure to really invest more than $100 in a blood pressure...
I find that posture in a computer chair is my biggest problem with regard to muscle aches/pains/cramps. I have a chair here that has the left arm rest slighty, elevated? And so it throws off my...
Which website was that els? I think I missed it ......
I've been taking (5mg) zebeta (bisoprolol) for about two and a half weeks now. I've been feeling kind of flush all day and I went to take my blood pressure just now and it is at 155/90. Should I talk...
Sounds to me like you have gas in the intestinal tract and it's moving around your system. You might also have some kind of a gas bubble/pocket sitting somewhere in your chest, I find phazyme or...
I have had the same problems you had for quite a while and I've come to understand what they are. I have GERD and my blood pressure is a bit high for my age (only three years older than you...
I hate to be a lunatic but I have GERD and some anxiety problems. Tonight I had two chocolate muffins (chocolate really does a job on my GERD). Naturally, two hours later I had the worst acid reflux...
My aunt has fibromyalgia and it causes her to have palpitations fairly bad. I believe I'm suffering from the same thing but since I've learned how to take it in stride by relaxing and being zen about...
Take a deep breathe through your nose and hold it for five seconds, exhale through your nose for eight seconds Do this five times and then on the fifth time, hold the breath for ten seconds and...
Hope you're feeling better elisha :)...
I complained to my doctor today that my blood pressure is not being lowered the way I would like. He stated that it can take up to two weeks for zebeta (bisoprolol) to take effect. Is that even...
So I called the cardiologist that my doctor referred me to today. The nurse answers, takes all my information and then tells me "Oh we're sorry - we don't accept your insurance here." So I said "Okay...
Thanks for the advice - I am going to follow up with my internist first and see where that leads me because I think it is something he will find through either colonoscopy or endoscopy. What is...
My gastrointernist suggested this could be something related to something digestive because of earlier IBS like symptoms I had originally. I'm going to try to sneak into his office on Wednesday or...
I know exactly what you are going through. After having read what you posted, it was thinking my symptoms over again. Originally (for two months) I could not even fall asleep at night, my resting...
My wife thinks it's not heart related and that's it's all some form of anxiety disorder. I think perhaps not eating after five is a good idea - but I have insomnia (fairly badly) and I don't normally...
I've also been on 5mg of bisoprolol for about a week now. Until the last two or three days it's worked just fine. Now I'm getting high end readings on my right arm again (147/82)....
