Anonymous Coward User ID: 184162 United States 01/19/2007 08:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | thanku for your reply. my temp usually always runs lower.. like around 97.8... and 98.1. not sure if that would warrant as mich of a sign, but yeah. it also seems this recent problem occurs more so with my hormones. right now its been acting up a lot the past few days.. along with a spike in my hormonal nonsense. who knows. ive had out of breath and flushing moments for years and years now, but the palp's and the other new things started after a fall.. a really hard fall i took the first week of december while at work. i work with animals and tried to restrain a really hard dog.. and got hurt. some suggested i could have messed up soemthing, perhaps the pulmonary thing. i hurt my leg pretty bad that day too.. and i still have a lump and pain in that area. plus, pulmonary embolism and clots run rampant on both sides of my family. is the VQ scan really the best test for that rght now? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 184170 United States 01/19/2007 09:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I honestly don't know about the scan. If I were you I would read up on these different problems, so I have as good of an understanding as possible of what is going on, try not to worry, and see what is available to help. I have heard some pretty bad things about Coumadin{sp?} they put a friend of mine on that for pulmonary embolism, and it made him worse. I think your best bet is to use natural herbs, supplements, so many times pharmaceuticals seem to add to the problem. You know your own body , use your intuition, and educate yourself. Make Google your best friend. Palpitations are pretty common{have had them myself, and still do sometimes} Take a deep breath and relax, try to stay positive, and look at this as an oppotunity to learn. Maybe what you find out will also help your family. |

MSG can cause many of your symptoms and is what is used in lab rats to induce diabetes for testing. Go organic in your diet if you can. You may have a sensitivity to pesticides and preservatives which can also manifest in many of your symptoms. Eat lots of Garlic which can help stabilize your BP naturally without side effects. EDTA is a chemical......try 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar a day. It will provide the same results naturally. It is delicious on a salad mixed as a dressing with some olive oil and herbs. Google the health benefits of apple cider vinegar....it may be the "cure" you have been looking for. Do not drink more than 1 or 2 small glasses of alchohol per day.....you may have a rebound hypoglycemic response the morning after. Just because you are young, doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful what goes into your body.....the food today is very bad for you.....too many preservatives and additives......go organic and make it yourself. Here's to your good health!!!!! |

annwho2 User ID: 140292 United States 01/23/2007 01:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow, the good news is there is a whole lot of normal there and in between; alot within normal limit and no abnormalities. I would feel sort of releived by most of the report. Obviously you discussed your concerns with your doctor, did you discuss your relief that so much of the report was good? Good luck to good health in the future. Take care of yourself, don't smoke, follow a good diet and your Doctor's advice. Ask him the questions you have. Write them down so lyou get your answers from your professional you are paying for care from........and you should do well. |
OP User ID: 184162 United States 01/23/2007 02:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | yeah.. but they cant see the pulmonary artery or anything around there at all and yet ruled out any stenosis or anything else? i was born with a stenotic pulmonary artery and my EKG results oretty much show theres a problem. stress on the right atrium (where the echo shows some regurgitation) and branch blocks and other things. also during the stress echo it showed st-t abnormalities. not a good sign. especilly given certain situations in my family. almost every single adult over the age of 30 in my family has develped some serious heart problem. my moms had severeal severe heart attacks.. dad.. grandmom died from a massive one.. ants.. uncles all have had one. no joke. the tachycardia is insane though. i saw the family doc for a followup this onday and my pulse was up to 180 beats per min! and i was calm and it went from 100 to 180 just by standing up. so, they wanna rule out a pulmonary embolism now.. because i started getting a bunch of the syptoms right after a nasty fall at work. they thought i may have done some imternal damage. plus embolisms run in my family bigtime as well. the EKG and echo dont make sense. and the echo makes no sense. the cardioologist told me in the office not to even ask anymore questions and slammed the door in my face. wont return my calls or my family doctors calls, to ask some questions regarding this EKG (which the copy of, shows she scribbed all over it.. not sure if the right atrium or left ventrical was enlarged and refuses to even test further)... its not normal when im walking around with almost 200 rated pulse and flushing like hell for no reason. so, i guess im gonna get a referral to see a new cardio and have the echo redone. 2nd opinion. they couldnt view anything of the pulmonary area.. why? they say "I dunno".. wtf? because of my "Habitus". first of all.. im very small. 5'2.. 117 pounds.. thin chest wall.. dont have huge boobs or any implants.. im not overweight.. no lung disease.. so.. why cant they view it? i remember when i was there they were doing real shitty job at the whole thing anyway. i fond it rather concerning then... they also wont give me a copy of the echo tape. so.. this isnt good. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 180919 United States 01/23/2007 03:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thyroid tests are frequently not accurate enough to detect a problem. If your body temp. runs lower that normal than some Drs.say that is indication enough of a low thyroid. I would suggest looking into iodine supplementation with Lugol's solution.I use it and it's been very helpful to me. It is very helpful to the immune system, and hormonal problems, including polycystic ovaries, and fibrocystic breasts. A magnesium deficiency can cause palpitations, as well as depression, and immune system problems, so you might want to check that out as well. I have also used EDTA. supplement to lower my husbands high blood pressure with excellent results, and it cured my dogs bladder stones as well! Not a Dr., just research on my own to try to help myself and others, so use your own discernment, and research. Hope you find what you need, good that you are asking questions, and thinking for yourself. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 184170a good calcium magnesium supplement should help-frequently with immune disorders and hormonal the cal-mag is easily deficient. Do you use natural sea salt or 'iodized table' with aluminum added and minerals removed. I would suggest a naturopathic doctor to assist in getting you on track. Thinking for yourself is advised-and alot of research-it is easy to label every so-called disease- However, doctors are not gods and one needs to be responsible for their own health and study several sources-reliable sources funny, most do not realise that all breasts are fibrocystic-breasts are-some more and some less-it isn't what most think-just as glandular size varies...normal to variations into a million shades of 'grey' way back when, they said tonsils were useless and now they know they are part of the immune system-adenoids had the same misunderstandings...immune compromised diseases are like designer diseases...many originally created in the lab via mycoplasms...or so new or unique enough to not even be accepted throughout the majority of healthcare workers...or the profiteering the pharmie industry enjoys-Treatment or control is one thing($$$$$$$$$$$) and cure is another ($) cardiac meds are targetted to men-womans heart attacks rarely present like the male. Additionally, the meds after an arrest frequently are of minimal assistance to woman...point ??? As a woman I strongly encourage you to be more proactive in YOUR health as the person I quoted said as well. Do not overestimate the abilities of doctors or their bag of tools-Likewise, I would strongly recommend you evaluate the choices you make daily as they impact your condition much more than you understand. Diet, sleep habits, exercise habits, health habits, and even attitude-yes, ATTITUDE affects far more than someone pf your young years can appreciate. Take no offense but hear with an open heart-the truth will be shown, but is your will disciplined enough to heed wisdoms words. Drink alot of clean water too-flushing toxins out Caffeine, allergies,stress, hormones including birth control,diet, poisons...anxiety attacks,...drug use...overall health and maintenance...starts within and extends outward...search it out, it is your temple.

Before the meds I had slight discomfort in my shoulder area..after these meds I had severe shortness of breath and exhaustion...Be careful with prescriptions...also watch out for one called Coreg...all those meds are $$$$ but you will find them cheap in Canada... my advice...heart problems are mostly lifestyle issues..get rid of red meat...eat more green things...do some cardio...talk to your heart..use creative visualization.... supplements....recommend flaxseed oil...2000 mg or more per day... reality is the history we don't know |
