June 19th symptoms and conditions

MAY 29th, i had a heart cath done. while on the table i had 5-7 sec MI.
was put in MICU, rest of that day and night. moved to heart ward, was put on 24 hour telemetry for 2 days. was started on LIPITOR. had never taken it prior to then.
as of April 8th, i had made a radical diet change, from a lacto/ovo vegetarian, to a "south beach"/modified Atkins NO CARB DIET.
in the period from apr 8th to may 29th, i had dropped 16 pound. i have a bad back, and with the added pounds i packed on, made walking a choir.
with the weight loss, i was walking a lot better. THEN May 29th, LIPITOR was added ............and within 2 weeks, i was having leg weakness, when standing i would feel like my legs couldn't hold me up, walking was now harder then when i had the extra 16 pounds.
sooooo....as of June 14th, I STOPPED TAKING IT!!!!! within days i felt more energetic, and could work a few hours a day. had an appointment with cardiologist June 19th, told him of problems, and that i had stopped taking lipitor. he agreed with me, said to stay on the diet, exercise more, and give it another 6 weeks and then we will check progress.
he did not prescribe any replacement for the LIPITOR. but i have been herbal and homeopathic savvy for a long time so i will continue the OMEGA-3 fish oil, 4 capsules a day, and 4 GARLIC a day.
i mihgt have to add some MILK THISTLE for the liver, if the LIPITOR did any damage.
my diet change if anyone is interested is, chicken, turkey, fish for meats, no hamburgers, or steaks or pork ribs. i STILL do a ton of
VEGGIES, mostly COMPLEX CARBS, lettuce, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, cukes, zukes, summer squash, and have found a wonderful substitute for PASTA, and its SPAGHETTI SQUASH. split it, microwave 10 min, let stand for 5 min, then take a fork and strip out the meat of the squash, cover with PASTA SAUCE as you would make for PASTA. awesome.

well my husband just got home from iraq on the 27th of Oct. 2008 i have had mirena scence June 19th 2007 . after our second baby together we thought it would be a good idea to get something we can depend on. i am experiencing the first bad side effect . i have a UTI that i cant seem to kick but mind you i haven't seen a Dr. yet . i have taking AZO and drank lots of cranberry juice in the past 3 days and cant seem to kick it so i thought i would see in mirena has anything to do with it when i found this site . but until about 3 days ago i had no problems out of it . i don't have a period and i don't get bloated and i don't have mood swings at all and my face is the clearest it has been scence i was 10 years old. so other than this UTI i have had no problems out of it .

I took levaquin 750mg as prescribed yesterday, after leaving my doctors office at 330pm ( june 18th). along with calrinex d (1tab) and a tsp of tussionex suppension syrup and 4 nose shots of astelin in increments of two over a 4 hr period of time. I was awake a majority of the night unable to sleep. But had some bouts of sleep. This morning (june 19th) I awoke at 930 am forced awake due to an appointment, and took 550 mgm of levaqin and the array of other drugs, around 12pm I noticed a headache and believed it was due to the exertion of coughing so much, my appetite is non-existent and around 6pm I felt flushed and sweaty, however this feeling subsided. I am now in hyper drive, I want to fall asleep but when I do my throat has the sensation of being choaked and then I have this odd gush or air emmited nasally which awakens me from the doze. My left corotid arrtey was tender and my heart is palpitating. While my sinus infection is almost gone I do not think I will be continuing this medication. There will be a call made to my physician at first reasonable light, I am sure I will be awake.

I was diagnosed with sustained ventricular tachycardia (rapid beat at rest) on June 19th and immediately put on Toprol 50mg. It has only been a month and I have gained 5 pounds and my weight rarely changes. I just had cardiac catheter ablation on July 18th and slowly weaning off of the toprol with my doctor. I was on 25mg after the ablation but I was able to cut that in half yesterday. I am hoping to lose this weight, I HATE IT! Does anyone know if you can lose this weight after stopping Toprol?

I had two Kenalog shots in June 2005 for hayfever/ allergies. The first one on June 12th- 60mg (worked for only a week), and then another one June 19th -80mg. I told the Dr. I felt it too high of a dose but he felt if the first didn't take I needed a higher dose and it wasn't harmful. However in response to Guest #12186 and Guest #12312. I have now officially been on my menstrual period for 50 STRAIGHT DAYS- NON STOP!! I am 36 years old and until reading this web site I was concerned I had some horrible problem going on. I do have a Doctor's appt next week which I will still go to but hearing your same horrible side effects gives me some comfort. Is there anything your Doctors advised you to do on this? Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks.
