i am suffering hight blood pressure n cholesterol, pl suggest any good remedy in homeopathy.
I’m very new, so very nervous.. I’ve been doing good so far but I get kinda nervous, second guess myself on the cares I give or should have gave. I work mostly non emergent runs for private company.. Any advice anyone could give me to boost confidence.. kinda like what as an emt-b I should pay particular attention too. And the treatments.. I refuse to not give my pt the care they deserve, I really want to succeed in this field.. Any tips on how to get vitals on elderlys faster while moving in an ambulance… Please serious answers…
One of the listed side effects of Lotrel is swelling in the throat. Can someone tell me how it causes it? Specifically, i have a lump in my throat and i can connect it to the beginning of my blood pressure treatment with lotrel. Any thoughts?
I’m a 49yr. old male w/ non-hodgeskins b-cell, stage 4 lymphoma. Have been treated 6x w/ rytuxin ending 8/25/07. Cancer was substantially reduced. However it came back by 9/20/07. On 10/8/07 rec’vd 3 days continuous chemo of carboplatin, Ifex and rytuxin. In 3 days have lost weight, mostly muscle mass, had difficulty breathing, and severe drop in blood pressure causing two 40 second blackouts. The previous 6 rytuxin treatments had relatively no ill side effects. Also have cancer in the bone marrow, which has not been treated to date.
I’m trying to find out how I may aggressively combat this cancer while also treating the adverse side effects indicated above. It is important for me to continue my work so that I can support my family and keep my excellent medical benefits. Deepest thanks.
The water treatment in question prescribes 4 x 160ml glasses of water every morning when waking but before washing the treeth. Then brush the teeth, and 45 minutes later one can drink or eat normally.
This procedure will cure the diseases of the sick and others can enjoy healthy life if taken during:
30 days for Blood Pressure and Diabetes
10 days for Gastric and constipation
90 days for TB
180 days for cancer.
I feel this too good to be true. Although I have nothing to loose in following the treatment, I wonder whether this is based on some scientific or medical research.
I will appreciate your views

I’ve asked before whether the media hate the Wings, and concluded that it’s just boring to say ‘The Wings are Very Good’ so they don’t say it.
Combine that with the Sid Crosby Fan Club – (and I don’t hate Sid, I’m a mom, and I think he’s an excellent player) am I likely to need treatment for my blood pressure if I listen to the commentary and analysis?
My cat, the love of my life, is not doing well and I have to make the horrible decision of whether to put her down or not.
She’s old. Her age is unknown (adopted 2 yrs ago) but it’s estimated to be around 14. She has kidney failure and has been receiving treatment for about 9 months. The kidneys are really bad and the treatment has not “fixed” it but it has been effective in the sense that kidneys have been stable.
Problem: about two weeks ago, her right eye started getting bloody. The doctors said it’s due to high blood pressure. After all the treatments, the eye got worse and now my poor baby has developed glaucoma. The blood pressure came down a little but it’s still high.
Decision
Option 1: Removing the eye: given her physical condition, her chances of surviving the surgery/recovery are 50/50 %.
Her vet said she may have about six months to live after the surgery.
Option 2: Putting her to sleep.
I cant decide. Please help, SOON.
What makes it hard for me is that she’s still eating and enjoys her tummy rubs and purrs when I hug her. If she was in a lot of pain she would stop eating and go hide is some corner….I keep asking what if she were to live another year or more if I do the surgery? Kindney failure is actually not painful; it’s more like a silent killer. It’s just the surgery may have complications. But it may not. I just don’t know what to do.
I have got 4 opinions. Glaucoma in cats is not treatable like it is in humans especially when the cat is already blind (mine was blind when I adopted her). The eye has to come out because it’s pain if it doesn’t. So it’s either risk the surgery or let her go.
My problems is that I do know if SHE is ready to leave. I’m willing to do whatever she wants only if she could talk and tell me. I would never keep her alive if she is suffering and I know she would tell me if she was ready to go. I don’t she’s ready to go yet because she’s eating, purring, using her litter box…it’s just that the outcome of surgery may not be good.
Oops, I meant "my problem is that I DON’T know if she is ready to leave"…
First of all I NEVER go to the doctor but I get a routine physical each year. Last December 4th I had been sick for 2 weeks with a bad cough and bronchitis-like symptoms. I finally was told go to doctor by my concerned employer because they felt there might be MOLD in our office. I went that very day to my DR. of two years and he did chest xray and prescribed antibiotic. That treatment worked and I also found there was no MOLD. More than a week later the DR. contacted me to come in for treatment of high blood pressure recorded during the Dec 4 visit. By the time I was called I was recovered and did not have high BP and declined to see the DR. for this again. He wrote on Feb. 18th he had discharged me as his patient due to ‘non-compliance’. I ask you, why did he not treat the high blood pressure the moment I was in distress???? And why dismiss me now, as I do NOT have High BP.
I ran out of room on the first detail. To answer the question I know I do NOT have HP because my husband does and we both monitor our BP. I do it with a separate cuff to encourage him. That is coincidental to my situation too and I wanted to add it. My husband’s BP is 100% under control through medication due to his work, which like my employer require yearly physical. Thanks.
As I said, this DR. did not even address my BP at time of visit. Where was the concern then? I was taking 3 different OTC medicatations: Dayquil, Nyquil, Robitussin by the time I was seen and those were making me sick at my stomach and I coudnt take it anymore. Thanks.
Marco, you are so right. And this non-compliance issue is my concern too. Will I be able to find another physician? This whole situation is crazy. I mean I didn’t accuse him of anything or ask questions until the ‘non-compliance’ issue came up. I didn’t even know what non-compliance was and had to ask. Thanks.
Mom, I declined the offer to return is what happened and it was over the phone where the nurse called me later. I guess I should have gone, in hindsight, and would have if I reazlied he could dismiss me. It all seems very unfortunate. Thanks.
I know there are a lot of options, I have insurance, but I’m trying to anticipate the impact on my budget! What do you pay for the meds? Do you know what they cost?
Lifestyle change is not an option for treatment. Not overweight, good diet, gym workout daily, treadmill 4+ miles daily, cholesterol, sodium, potassium levels fine. It’s genetic, so meds are the option. I’m averaging 148/100, peaking at 168/110.
Bums me out because I’m been 115/70 forever. This symptoms just started a couple of months ago but I did not see a doc until last week. High bp never occurred to me!
I am scheduled to start taking a kidney transplant class, and then take dialisis. I have read many articles about dialisis and I really don’t want to go through this procedure. I would like to take herbal supplements and/or foods that will flush the kidneys. My amonia levels are high. I am thinking on detox my body for this purpose. Any ideas? I am taking prescription medications for all these conditions. I strongly believe in stem cell treatment, and for this reason I am taking Stem Cell Plex which is a capsule type of supplement to induce my own stem cell growth.
My mother was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma a few weeks ago, she has an 11.6 centimeter mass on her left kidney. She was hospitalized last weekend because they gave her morphine for pain, it dropped her blood pressure extemely low. That is when we found out the cancer had spread to other organs (liver,pancreas, lymph nodes and stomach) the doctors said she would only make it a few weeks to a month. That is when I looked into this cancer center, her insurance has been approved and they want to schedule her flight asap. I just want to know if anyone out there has had good results with ctca? I have a friend who goes with her mother who had breast cancer metasis to her liver and bone who goes to ctca and she said they were great. Are they as wonderful as my friends mom says?
My mom is also doing better now, she’s home from the hospital and she’s not as weeks and she’s eating . My mom says she’s ready to fight this.
My blood pressure was 174/82 and I have a headache and sleepy
My PCP Dr is a real Drama Queen. My BP is 126/78 and cholesterol 208. He insisted that I go on medicine for both. He put me on 20 mgs of Lisinopril for the BP and 10 mgs of Zocor for cholesterol.
I’ve been taking this garbage for 2 months now and I have never felt so god-awful in my entire life.
When I stand up I almost faint I’m so dizzy (I’m scared to drive anymore for fear I’ll pass out behind the wheel.) My muscles ache all the time, I’m nauseated and feel like I have the flu 24/7. I’ve told him this twice in the past two months and he keeps saying to stay on the medication and that I’ll get "used to it."
I went to see a cardiologist for a second opinion and he said that he wouldn’t have gone to such an aggressive treatment for BP and cholesterol that are just slightly over what they should be.
I’m not overweight, I eat healthy (very little if any red meat,) excerise, don’t drink or smoke.
PS. Heart disease, High BP or Cholesterol do not run in my family. Cancer and bipolar disorder do.
due to feeling sick all the time, my depression level is very high. I have a good mind just to throw all this stuff away and never take it again. Go back to feeling like a human being again.
My mom had caught with "Cirrhosis of the Liver" back in 2000. It got diagnosed in 2002 when she started feeling tired, no appetite, swollen feet, blue marks on skin and abdominal pain. Doctors also told us that she has "Hepatitis C". We started her treatment with "Roferon 3mu". After six months she got better. We found last year that her "Cirrhosis of the Liver" problem is again disturbing her health. We took her for blood test but there were no detections of "Hepatitis" anymore. Doctor told us that her liver is damaged and it is in the "De-compensated Stage". It can not be reversed but it can be stopped to go further. Now she has swollen feet again, watter in abdomen, blue marks on lower legs, itching skin, minor fever, a little high blood pressure but she is not a Diabetic. Her last test results were these. (i called her home to get these readings. if you find any trouble you can e-mail for this.)

I have a mental addiction to cigarettes. I can go home, and not have one, go on vacation for upwards of a week and not crave one at all, go out drinking and not want one at all… However, when I get to work, at my non-stress related job, which I love as much as one can love his job… I absolutely must have a cig… How do I get over this? I want to stop completely.
I have gout and high blood pressure. I take Diova 160/25 and Norvasec for BP and Alopurinol for gout. I get swelling in the legs. My doctors can’t fix this problem. When they change the drugs or doze my blood pressure goes up and I get gout attack….anyone out there who has my problem?
