Dr James:  the benefits of cutting down on a cardiac cocktail - dentist recommended electric toothbrush

Do you care about pain?
Are you worried about your health?
You can send your question secret to Dr. Le Fanu at Dr. James @ telegraph. co. uk.
The answer will be published every Friday in the health/health advice section of the Telegraph website.
Welcome to the online clinic, where interesting and enlightening things are usually mixed. Today -
Golfer vanytis, eye migraine, arthritis, Dear Dr. Le FanuWe exchanged an email last year saying that I had a heart stent in November 2014 and after that I had to take seven pills a day.
By last August, I was three years old, and by 2016 I was two years old.
Aspirin and single nitrate.
A few weeks ago, suddenly my heart rate doubled from 55 in the morning to 130 to 140.
Using 111 of the services, I once again found that they were very good and received an off-hours appointment at Warwick Hospital where I was checked after seeing a doctor.
Taking beta blockers that have reduced the pulse to 40 has been discharged from hospital.
The next day, BP and pulse were everywhere even with BB.
I saw my heart counselor the next day.
After I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation with irregular heartbeat, he was preparing for me to use damilong and rivaroxaban for cardioversion. . .
This seems to be a very serious drug.
These have brought me all sorts of terrible side effects that have ruined my sleep patterns and given me stiff and painful fingers that I can only describe as a drug hangover because I don't want to do anything, especially after lunch until the evening.
My usual action is to sleep, but it doesn't work very well because I'm very upset.
In addition to a website in the United States, I found almost no AF on the Internet, which is run by a Dr. John with AF disease and is also a consultant for treating AF.
He is also a cyclist who fell down after the crash and I noticed that cyclists seem to be prone to atrial fibrillation.
Don't worry, Dr. John said, and also ask your advisor "what happens if I don't do anything ".
When in contact with civil servants, doing nothing is always their starting point, and what they are most happy about is inaction!
Although I was impatient with them at the time, maybe they were right.
I can't find any substantial reason to explain why a person suddenly drops to AF except for the loop crash.
I hope you can find the above.
My next-door neighbor recommended a book that I find interesting about data tampering.
My son had a headache every day after the bike accident in 2001, and although he went to the National Hospital in Queen's Square every year, the situation did not improve.
I'm glad they kept in touch and didn't abandon my son.
They also insist that the reasons for the two groups of advisors in the proceedings are physical, not psychological.
They said my son would get better after the lawsuit was settled.
As one friend said, statistics about people show that they are getting better and better, but the real reason is that they have given up the legal and medical system.
Good luck and continue to do a good job in your column.
Dear Anon, thank you for contacting again and it is a pleasure to hear that you are able to reduce the amount of heart cocktails used.
I express my sympathy for these recent AF tribulations, and I hope they will be right (
Usually very successful)cardioversion.
I also highly commend tampering with data.
Dear Dr. James, I read Monday's column with great interest.
My experience at Charing Cross Hospital is pretty much the same as your other readers at Addenbrook hospital.
I was scheduled for chemotherapy in 2012.
Apart from sleepless nights, I think there is a general lack of patient training in all NHS hospitals, which may be fairly standard.
After asking for ice cubes for my painful oral ulcer and being told that the machine was broken for many days, I planned to raid the fridge with the health care assistant who kindly scraped the ice box to serve me ice!
I then provided feedback to the hospital and volunteer for the NHS forum for a while.
I hope to improve the whole system.
Greetings MS a Dear MS, ARThanks, who contacted the frustrating record of accommodation in the Charing Cross oncology ward.
As for the ice machine-
People will think that there will be another order in the hospital's work.
As you said, "there is room for improvement "--and how!
Dear Dr. Le Fanu, I have a lot of questions, but so far there has not been a clearly fatal one.
The diagnosis seems to be "Peripheral neuropathy" and there doesn't seem to be an answer unless a person has diabetes or a similar condition I don't have and all my tests are normal.
I have walking difficulties and dizziness, multiple fairly slight arthritis, a slight persistent tingling on the left finger and intermittent tingling on the right.
Most of these symptoms have been present for a long time and have gradually deteriorated, obviously I have gradually exhausted and there is no cure, but is there any way to relieve them?
Dear Dr. Irene B, thank you for your contact. My only (
If it may be obvious)
The suggestion is that the pain in the finger may be wrist tunnel syndrome.
Dear Dr. JamesAnother, another anecdote in the legend of Bridge/cramps.
We often host Bridge nights with friends at home, and two of them often complain about cramps before the end of the game.
I bought some round cork mats (on-line)
Under the mat of the dining chair.
We didn't mention this, but it's interesting that since then neither player has suffered their usual suffering.
Both of them took the mat home and put it on the bed!
Thank you for your useful, informative column and I often find myself quoting to friends.
Dear Anon, thank you for passing on this (ingenious)
Preventive measures for cramps in cork mats.
I look forward to mentioning this in the column.
My friend Dr. Le FanuA is an 89-year-old lady.
She has many health problems, but she still bravely stands up from them and also goes to the garden, walks and meets friends.
Imagine how frustrated a female doctor was when she was regularly checking her out at her local hospital, and she told her very readily that she should "Train your brain"!
How to make the patient depressed and depressed in a simple lesson.
It's not good for all her friends.
We are very angry on her behalf.
Say such an insult to someone.
January RDear January R, shocking. I agree.
What might she be thinking?
Is there a good diet that can increase estrogen levels in the body?
I use Vagifem, but I want to improve the level further naturally. P. S.
Read your article: Acid Test.
I also took loomeprazole and went through the symptoms you described.
I reduced the dose to 20 mg most of the time.
I think your article is very interesting. thank you. E.
Dear E. S, thank you for your inquiry.
My only suggestion is soy milk, which is rich in phytoestrogen can reduce the symptoms moderately, but not the frequency of hot flashes.
I'm sure you 'd better stick with a low-dose vaginal injection.
Dear Dr. Fanu, I have been eating very painful muwa for 8 weeks and during this time I have found that they react to what I eat.
They don't like fruits, they don't like spicy drinks.
They like cold coconut water and ice cream best.
They reacted very strongly to the sun, and the worst reaction was that my husband did a scan that involved a radioactive dye injection;
I was very miserable that night when we shared a bed.
I ground it off the next day and I calmed it with ice cream.
Have you or anyone else encountered this phenomenon?
Can you explain it?
Best of all, Maureen GDear Maureen G, thank you for your contact, no, I have not encountered this food-sensitive muwa phenomenon and I will mention it in the column looking forward to further coverage.
The problem with Dear Dr. Le FanuMy is that after I played a round of golf, usually in warm weather, there was a situation.
I have some red patches on my lower right leg, very ugly and stayed for about 4 days.
They don't hurt or itch, maybe a little sensitive, but look bad.
Some of my friends got the same result, and a friend looked into it and thought it might be "golfers vascul ".
Is this a situation? What can we do to treat/prevent it?
In my case, it does seem to have something to do with leg varicose veins, and there is no bad vein on my other leg.
Dear Anon, thank you for your inquiry.
It does sound like a golfer's veins, apparently due to a disorder in the mechanism of temperature regulation in the calf muscles caused by exercise.
I believe that in your case, varicose veins are an important contributing factor.
A few years ago, a reader also said wearing shorts and loose cotton socks would keep the legs and ankles cool.
I have just read your article about the now reduced accessory resection procedure.
As a drama nurse in my 60 s, I was used to scrubbing for many emergency surgeries. However -
Many of them are unnecessary;
No inflammation will be found after opening.
Is one of the reasons for the reduction in surgery a more reliable diagnostic test when the patient has abdominal pain? Jane D (SRN! )
Dear Jane D, I agree that the improvement in diagnosis must be a contributing factor --
Although I don't remember removing many "normal" appendices from when I was a junior doctor!
Dear Dr. James, I seem to be dizzy and out of balance during the last few plane trips.
It only takes more than an hour for this trip, which I have been doing for years.
Dizziness lasted for nearly two weeks and was worse in the morning.
I am very grateful for any treatment for this uncomfortable feeling.
Thank you dear Anon for your inquiry.
These symptoms are due to the adverse effects of changes in middle ear pressure during flight on the balance mechanism.
This suggests that you may suffer from a disease known as chronic plasmatic otitis media because the drum tube is partially blocked and the liquid is discharged from the middle ear to the back of the throat.
I am sure your doctor will advise on proper treatment.
I suffered (mainly)
For many years, my husband has been suffering from cramps at night, mainly after fatigue;
We are 75 and 78 respectively.
I also took my doctor's Quining for many years and most of them were successful.
About four years ago, one of our summers
Stay in Switzerland, when Quining is out of use, go to Xiyong's pharmacist to see if you can buy some at the counter.
He listened carefully to my problem and was surprised to find out that I should have taken quinine to treat the cramps and he said: "We took magnesium, two tablets, when we came down from the mountain, then come again before going to bed at night ".
Now, we also take magnesium a lot when needed and it does look amazing and effective!
We have recommended it to friends who are equally successful and equally painful.
By the way, I am also taking melazol, and if you read the profile it will say that your GP is required to have a blood test on a regular basis to measure magnesium levels. . . . ?
Hopefully this will help the best wishes of others. Dear Judith L, I am glad to hear that you also benefit from the treatment of magnesium cramps that I will mention in my column.
Dear Dr. James Le Fanu, re Telegraph article on pollen fever, May 16, 2016.
For about 18 years, I injected kendialog once a year in my 40 s.
It was amazing and brought me back to my life at work, playing golf and on vacation without sneezing.
I was warned at the beginning that it could lead to osteoporosis, but I was so desperate at the time that I couldn't expect the next sneeze!
At about 68 I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and now 76 I am still able to walk my dog for half a mile, 3 times a day and do my own chores etc.
I would say to anyone considering Kenalog, to weigh the priorities and enjoy your life, because no one knows how long we have on this earth, do it! !
Dear Anon, thank you for your contact.
18 years of kendialog injection may be a factor in your osteoporosis, although it doesn't seem to reduce your activity! .
Dear Dr. Le Fanu, your article on blind appendicitis reminds me of an appendix operation my husband did in his fifties.
At that time, the popular way for hospitals was not to clean the operating room, but to take antibiotics for all patients.
Unfortunately, this killed his good gut flora and we had a long struggle to restore his health.
He can only digest a little liquefied food.
We tried the cabbage juice and goat milk yogurt recommended by a patient, which I was able to get at the time, and he said they didn't take the goats out. TG. He survived.
Kind regards, Beyoncé, dear Beyoncé B. thank you for your observation.
My impression is that a routine practice of prescribing antibiotics for people undergoing bowel surgery is weakening --
Because your husband caused him a lot of inconvenience.
Dear wife of Dr. LeFanuMy, 64 years old, 90 years old this year, both mentally and physically active, except for the difficulty of walking due to spinal stenosis, but over the last three months, her arms, back and scalp have been itching all the time.
She consulted her GP and a partner of the GP, both of whom were the women she was most concerned about.
In the latter, we have known each other since she and our little daughter were at school, specializing in skin diseases and diagnosis of dermatitis.
Neither of them had been able to prescribe a cure, noting that older women, in any case, tended to itch due to thinning and dryness of their skin.
My wife constantly moisturizes her skin and has experienced a temporary relief of itching at Betnovate, Sudocrem and E45 at different times.
It turns out that a homeopathic cream is useless.
Anti-group agents were prescribed twice but did not ease.
Liquid Betnovate, renshanlishu shampoo helps relieve itchy scalp.
We would like to know if your readers and journalists can suggest a way to treat their itching.
Dear David P, you sincerely thank you for your inquiry and express great sympathy for the unbearable itching of your wife.
As you know, this is almost certainly due (
Sounds unfortunate.
Itching in old age
Although the improvement of nizoral suggests that this may be related to fungal infection of skin dermatitis.
Nevertheless, it is surprising that there is no improvement in these moisturizing lotion, which may suggest some potential causes of itching, such as excessive (or under)
Active thyroid and some blood diseases including iron deficiency.
There is one of the most useful summaries on mim's website, "Management of itching in the elderly", and she may discuss with her doctor.
Dear Dr. levannu, today's interesting column reminds me of my intention to write to you long ago.
I have had arthritis on my wrist and hands over the years, and I feel that some kind of wrist support would help, but I find that every one I look at is too big for my wrist.
The word Small size seems very flexible and most people can go around a few laps. I gave up.
One day, while boating in the gym, when I was looking for new gloves, I picked up a pair of bike gloves by mistake and immediately knew that I had found wrist support!
This pair is a strong but comfortable fabric with no fingers, but the key is the structure, that is, there are a lot of firm seams/stitching around each joint, there is Velcro fastening around the wrist that really ties.
I bought a very comfortable dress and they are really beautiful and each joint is firmly supported.
Unfortunately, the design of that particular brand has changed, so it doesn't make sense to name it, but there are several similar brands that might be relevant to other sports.
Before the pain relief method is to put your hand into the frozen peas when shopping! Bliss.
It may seem a bit strange, but the advantage of age is that I really don't care!
Maybe gloves are more acceptable!
Thanks for all the interesting articles.
Dear Barbara B, thank you for the interesting description of the perfect wrist support by chance.
I will mention this in next week's column. Dear Dr.
James, you might find the following interesting.
I have had arthritis in my lower back for several years. The pain at night prevented me from sleeping and I thought it might help me to sleep if I could lower the threshold.
I bought a 30 minute cut-off mini dozens of machines and put it on my back at low power when I retire.
I have been sleeping better since then, and there are additional benefits, pain meds have no side effects.
Good luck, George H.
TDear George H. T, thank you for your contact and it is a pleasure to hear about the significant improvement of the mini Tens machine.
I pass this on to you.
More than 3 months ago, I was diagnosed with the disease by an eye doctor at a local hospital.
I am going through the tortuous flash every day and it lasts most of the day.
Not a headache at all, but sometimes I'm terrible and it affects my eyesight, even though sometimes I feel like I'm looking at the flash.
The hospital doctor said it had nothing to do with the actual "vision" and introduced me to my GP.
3 months later, my GP did not come up with any way to improve the situation, although he gave me three different types of medication to try.
I had two cataract surgeries last year.
Neither of these was successful, nor was laser treatment successful.
My glasses and sunglasses have no effect on this issue.
I was also very careful in driving.
Can you give me any guarantee? Such complaints may eventually disappear automatically, or any other advice you might get.
I will see my GP again next week.
I'm in my 80 s.
You sincerelyMerle (Mrs)
Dear Mrs. Mel G, thank you for your contact.
This eye migraine is more persistent than in most cases and of course preventive measures are needed.
You didn't say that the three drugs you have prescribed didn't work, but I suggest you download the useful comment "eye migraine"
What can you do from the eye health website before seeing a doctor next week.
Dear Sir, I don't know what to do!
In March 1979, I had my first thyroid surgery. --
A nodule goat
My mother's sister also has one.
Then I started taking 100 mcg left thyroid hormone.
The second one was taken on 1989, and I continued to shoot at 100 mcg.
Some time before I retired in 2010--I am now 70-
My GP reduced my dose to 50 mcg which caused the problem and I was referred to a consultant who asked me to take 100 mcg left thyroid hormone and 10 mic again
On last November, after more blood tests, I was told to take an overdose and my dose should be reduced.
I asked to be recommended and made an app for February 02.
Sadly I only saw one registrar, not my usual person, who said I should go to 75 mcg and stay in touch with 10 micg.
I haven't been myself since the beginning of November. --
Tired, sleepy, struggling with household chores etc, but after 10 days of taking the lower dose, I really had a problem --
To make matters worse, I spent most of my time sitting in a chair and crawling around the house.
I called the operation on May 03 and I was told that I could not speak to the doctor until the following Tuesday, so I felt very terrible and annoyed and I decided to go back to my original dose, because I have 14 left.
Feeling much better after 4 days-
I can walk at my usual pace and even spend a night without having to take a rest afternoon.
I saw the doctor yesterday and he wouldn't give me an extra dose or introduce me-
I think I may lack B.
Didn't notice what I told him. -
Just saying too much can cause heart problems and osteoporosis, seems to say it can cause problems for him if he takes too much.
Should I go to the endocrine doctor in private?
Do you think I should be able to adapt to a lower dose after 37 years of taking a dose?
I have checked so many things this winter and the only thing that comes up is the cyst on my liver and he intends to organize a scan but forgot to do it.
I am very grateful for your suggestion, your sincere Linda dear linda P, thank you for your contact, and I express great sympathy to your doctor for being so helpless.
Of course you need a higher dose of thyroid hormone, regardless (presumably)low TSH level.
I suggest to email your "average person" at the hospital, explain the situation and ask him to advise your GP accordingly. Dear Dr.
Le FanuI is 79 years old and 11 years old. 3.
16, from the stool sample, I and I were given antibiotics and eloomeprazole for a week.
I 've always had symptoms of extreme upswing, producing mucus, which caused me pain in my upper back and left me feeling unbalanced.
I was told that the drug might take 2 to 3 weeks to work, but I went to see a doctor as I didn't feel betteragain on 25. 4.
16 and ask if it is possible to repeat the test and medication as I think this may not work for the first time. My Dr.
As far as I know, I said the stool test was unreliable and I needed to do an endoscopic examination and I was waiting for an appointment.
At the same time, the symptoms continue, and even though I still have loomeprazole, it doesn't work and it's overthe-
Anti-drug did not help.
I am a fairly active person and have no other difficult problems other than taking high blood pressure tablets for about 5 years.
I realize that antibiotics are thought to be used too much, but in my own case I have not needed antibiotics for about 8 years.
I think the second batch will be used instead of starting a hospital test, which will extend my discomfort.
Is it normal for this drug to work for the first time, or, please, sometimes give a second chance to clear this bacteria?
Dear Mrs. m g. , thank you for your inquiry.
I agree that it would be wise to repeat the stool test and repeat the treatment process if the stool test is still positive.
Nevertheless, the first time there was no response could suggest that hp was a fortuitous discovery rather than the reason for this excessive hiccups.
For example, this may be a "kinetic" disorder because of a contraction disorder in the stomach muscles, similar to the irritable bowel syndrome in the large intestine.
This is discussed further in an article about digestivedistress "gas, expansion and hiccups. com website.
I also suggest you check if this could be a side effect of your blood drop pill.
Dear Dr. Le FanuI is a healthy person (not overweight)
An annoying acid case is 56 years old.
The product on the counter will not even affect it.
If I don't take 40 mg of eloomeprazole a day, I have a sore throat and cold symptoms.
Even now, if I have an incentive like coffee or stress, I have a lump in my throat and a cough.
Occasionally, I was even forced to take Gaviscon and loomeprazole at night, even though through the experiment, I now take half a tablet at night and the rest in the morning, which seems to have sorted out the evening stuff.
I took lanso razole but after a while I had side effects.
I did an endoscopic examination and found nothing uncomfortable.
It seems that I will continue to do so for the rest of my life.
We will consider any suggestions with great gratitude.
Dear Mr. Colin, thank you for your contact.
It does sound like you need loomeprazole to control your symptoms and you should keep taking the pills if it doesn't cause any side effects!
Dear Dr. le Fanu, my husband has been taking 30 mg lanso razole twice a day since December because of throat inflammation. He is 81.
He found them very helpful for my long-term use.
Is his goal to reduce the dose or stop taking it?
Is there an anti-indication for permanent use?
Thank you very much, dear Lorna C, please see above.
Omeprazodear Doc I am interested in your recent comments as I was prescribed when to accept it a few years ago.
I'm trying to rely on Rennies right now.
For some time, my habit was to eat a 10g dark chocolate every night-85 or 90%, and last week, I was interested in finding that chocolate relieved the tenderness in the Rift hernia area, I didn't have Rennie until the next day.
Is this a known feature of choc?
Thanks to Ken MDear Ken M for drawing attention to the merits of dark chocolate as a heartburn therapy.
For the benefit of others, I hope to mention this in the column.
Dear Dr. James, I am 96 years old & my problem is that I have had pain in my mouth for several years, mostly in the upper lip and a little pain in my tongue.
It is painful to eat foods with strong taste or hot drinks.
My doctor and dentist do not have any advice to your faithful Miss Catherine, thank you for your inquiry.
I think there is nothing to explain this painful feeling.
This suggests that this is almost certainly due to the functional disorder of the sensory nerves known as neuropathy, and unfortunately there is no specific treatment.
Dear Dr. Le Fanu, I celebrated my 81 th birthday in February, with the exception of a small but worrying question: gums-bleeding gums, my health is in good condition.
Yes, yes, I know it's a dental problem, not a medical one, but I hope you may have an answer with your extensive experience and extensive reader feedback.
The dentist insisted that the only solution would be a strict dental hygiene system, but for weeks I have been using the Sokki toothpaste and mouthwash as well as the electric toothbrush at night, but I still spit
I think it's special. -No, it's annoying-
It is said that there are no drugs that can cure the disease.
I was told that the only solution was to visit the dental therapist repeatedly to get my gums damaged.
If I were a taxi driver, I would suspect a conspiracy.
Dear Tony C, thank you for your contact.
You can discuss with your doctor/dentist whether this persistent gum inflammation is now worth a course of antibiotic treatment, such as anti-drops or amoxicillin.
I am 72 years old this year, average weight, good health, active, is a regular tennis player and I have also helped a disabled child in the last 9 years, which is included on the floor
I have acute arthritis on my left foot, very painful, badly worn and hardly need any weight.
I had an NHS right Total Hip Replacement 13 months ago and now with ve Trendelenburg I had to walk around with crutches.
My right thigh, groin, and hip sustained pain and poor balance and could not come up and down from the floor or toilet ring.
Dragging my right foot in, my recent shame is stress incontinence.
The consultant surgeon recommended me to follow my physical therapy and spa for 5 months with good mobility and better intensity, but this exacerbated the pain in the back of my thigh.
The MRI showed no point in the joint, so I was discharged because it was "not an orthopedic problem ".
I was very depressed and depressed, I couldn't move, my balance was unreliable, my knees and wrist joints were injured, I tried to move around, my back was creaking, my shoulder was sore, I would like to know where to get some advice.
I don't have the funds left, so can't ask for private input, what I'm really annoyed about is the periodic evaluation form sent to evaluate NHS services, but even if the score is 10/100, there is also no reply from any source.
I don't know who, where or how to find advice. Meg.
Dear Meg, thank you for your contact with me and for your most sincere sympathy for your several medical trips.
You don't mention your current medication, but it sounds like you'll benefit from increasing the dose of anti-inflam and pain relief, hoping to reduce the pain associated with your ongoing arthritis.
You also need more aggressive treatment for your severe back pain, such as an epidural injection or a gabapentin test.
You can discuss with your doctor whether it is possible to be referred to the pain clinic at your local hospital.
Dear Dr. Le Fanu, I cannot offer to suffer from blind appendicitis for the benefit of the surgeon, but I would like to provide my body (
Currently 91 years old)
Intern surgeon in--
Of course, in due course. .
Living in Bangor in Gwynedd, I asked my neighbor (
A new qualified doctor in our local hospital, general practitioner training)
But so far he hasn't told me where my body can be used for this purpose.
Could you please check it out for me?
Sidney WDear Sidney W, with good wishes and gratitude for your valuable column, thank you for your inquiry.
I suggest you consult the section "donate your body to medical science" on the website of the Royal College of Surgeons.
Dear Dr. Le FanuI, I know there is a lot of discussion about digestion at the moment.
I was wondering if you could help confirm/reject/assist?
Backbackgroundi has never had any indigestion problems in my life.
I almost never used indigestion pills. I am now 70.
When my husband started getting sick (
Severe aortic stenosis, lung cancer, prostate cancer-there are many different terrible symptoms that appear and treat)
He was in hospital for a couple of weeks meant, twice, I suddenly lost a lot of weight and didn't eat well.
The dental school thought the rough place behind my mouth was a silent return.
My GP started with lomezole. This was 2013.
I started with a typical irritable bowel syndrome. as I thought).
I think it might be helpful to stop gluten.
The symptoms gradually deteriorated.
3 years later, until I passed through the stool several times, the symptoms began to include regular back pain.
My masseur said it has nothing to do with the joints but "reference" the pain.
I thought it was because of sleeping.
Following 1 feet reconstruction operations in 2015, he traveled.
Many patients with irritable bowel syndrome don't know if their back pain is related to irritable bowel syndrome, the chiropractor said.
The GP changed my prescription to Renedin.
Eating half a day of laxatives and flax seeds can improve diarrhea but not back pain.
There was an opportunity to visit an ENT consultant last month.
He asked me if I had any information about silent reflow. I said ‘no’.
He gave me a "what"not)
Do and eat '*.
For the first time in 3 years I was able to track some "triggers ".
Now it seems that fat is one of the causes of back pain.
On the sheets, of course, you are specifically asked to avoid fat.
Ask questions, please?
Am I right? When the body has an intestinal infection, it will want to remove everything from the intestines.
Therefore, digestion is accelerated in the event that the fat is not properly digested (yellow stools)?
Why didn't every doctor give some information about "doing" and "not doing" of silent reflux?
Is esolazol a reason in itself?
Dear Mrs. l h. , thank you for your contact.
The close temporal relationship between you starting to take melazole and subsequent onset of these intestinal symptoms will certainly suggest that this may be a side effect of a drug that has led to the microscopic colonocitis I mentioned in my column last week
However, I am a little confused about the "dos and donts" flyer, which claims that acid reflux should avoid fat food.
Dear Dr. Le Fanu, some of your recent column articles mentioned with long-
The term PPIs is used.
After being diagnosed with GORD about 12 years ago, I took 15 mg lanso razole a day.
I am trying to spend the day here and there without medication, but usually by the end of the day my heartburn is very severe, almost on the day after missing the dose, despite taking lanso razole in the morning, I had severe indigestion and heartburn most of the time.
Since acid reflux can cause damage to the esophagus, what advice can you give to those of us who rely on PPI to handle severe acid reflux?
Warren Ade Warren A, sincerely thank you for your contact, please see my reply to Colin H above.
I read with great interest your review of long term administration of lomezole.
I had been on it for many years until a month ago when I inserted two heart stents to treat an early heart attack.
I have had yst, diarrhea and dermatitis in 10 years, all of which have been fully investigated, the cost and trouble are quite large and controlled through various pills and potions
I have now changed to lanso razole, which has a direct benefit to my symptoms.
In this era of multi-drug, with the development of modern computer technology, hospitals, surgical and pharmaceutical systems may be reminded that all of these symptoms are interrelated?
Dear Angus fedeangus F, thank you for your contact.
There are several websites on the Internet that describe all the drugs that can cause diarrhea, but as far as I can tell, there is no system of the kind you describe.
If any, it may relieve you of the burden of all these unnecessary investigations because of your yst and diarrhea.
HelloI is upset with more and more people and I hear they are suffering from the pain and weakness of vitamin D deficiency. Mainly (
But not exactly)
Ladies of a certain age, not limited to my neighborhood, this phenomenon has not been discovered until recently, but, I cannot believe, what is the difference between the recent sunshine level and the same period last year.
Can you reveal it? Thanks.
George SADear George SA, thank you for asking.
The increased prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is due to more frequent testing by doctors.
I have been taking loomeprazole (20mg)
Lansotto (30mg)
Everyday life in the past 5 years.
When I was walking about 12 months ago, I began to feel severely fatigued and by mid-2015 it caused me to have to rest for a few hours to walk 20 metres.
Suspected of having heart problems, in 10 months I have done all my heart tests, from treadmill tests to angiography, to motion pressure MRI, all of which have been proven
I also had a breath test showing that my lung function was 55 years old (I am 69).
After angiography, there was a spasm in the coronary artery, causing cardiologists to suspect Prinzmetal Angina (
Subsequently dismissed as a cause)
I was opened 200 mg of Tildiem LA (
Calcium channel blocker).
A few days after taking the drug (
Early October 2015)
I noticed an increase in my exercise tolerance, which continued to improve over the course of a few weeks until I was able to walk (A little slow)
Half a mile, but there is a serious problem with exercise involving upper body activity (
For example).
After meeting with the heart advisor on December 2015, he decided that my fatigue problem might not have a cardiac cause and suggested stopping Tildiem.
My exercise tolerance began to drop in a few days and my blood pressure went up to unacceptable levels, so I restarted Tildiem and both returned to previous levels in a few weeks.
In the meantime, the GP continues to look for other physiological causes for my problems, all of which are negative.
Recently seen comments in your column about the effects of taking PPI for a long time, I asked GP to test low magnesium levels, which unfortunately proved to be normal.
However, I did more research and found a reference to a study in the United States that showed that PPI could affect the production of no in blood vessels.
The result is stiff walls of blood vessels.
Since the effect of Tildiem is that through different channels, in order to expand the blood vessels, I began to think that perhaps Tildiem offset lanso razole, so the motor performance improved slightly when the two were combined.
I suggest to the GP that I should stop PPI and in a few days my athletic stamina is starting to improve and now I can walk at a reasonable rate for at least 2 miles, and do the daily exercise work around the house, I haven't done it for nearly a year.
However, this change is accompanied by a significant decrease in blood pressure, so I stopped taking Tildiem.
The result is my blood pressure in the past week (resting)
Has been stable around 128/76 and I have not taken any medication.
In the early days, since I had only been taking this drug-free treatment for nearly 4 weeks, the large intestine inflammation under the microscope was due to the long-term use of ibuprofen for the treatment of hip arthritis with large trochanitis.
Why don't the doctor tell us this information?
Coincidentally, I had to sit there and do nothing because the builders were in 'in' from October to Christmas, and the burleschia was completely after a decade of pain
Dorothy Dear Dorothy M, thank you for keeping in touch with the fascinating description of your medical investigation
Of course, one might want doctors to be more curious about the cause of the patient's unexplained symptoms.
I look forward to mentioning this in future columns to encourage others to follow your example.
A few years ago I had acid indigestion and took the loomeprazole I 've been taking every day since then.
Just before Christmas last year, I started to experience arrhythmia, but I will fly to Australia in three weeks.
This naturally affects my travel insurance policy, so I feel like I have no choice but to see a cardiologist before traveling.
This proved to be very expensive, but at least no abnormalities were found.
Then I was scheduled for the 12 th.
Taking a 5 mg dose of beta blocker twice a day seems to solve this problem.
However, I still don't believe I have an ongoing problem with both complaints.
What advice do you have?
I am also taking thyroid hormone due to my age, statins (73)
And downtabletting, frankly, I 'd love to give them all up!
I am waiting for your suggestion with great interest.
Dear Andrew B, thank you for your contact.
This kind of arrhythmia is definitely probably caused by eloomeprazole, and as suggested in last week's column, it would be wise to ask your doctor to check your magnesium level.
You may ask at the same time if you really need to take these statins! Dear Dr.
Le FanuI is interested in the article you published on today's Daily Telegraph about melazol and diarrhea.
I have been suffering from similar symptoms for a few months, from loomeprazole, which opened to help with gastric reflux and rip hernia, to another drug that didn't help, and the situation got worse.
I saw a consultant who learned that I was taking the methanoic acid to treat arthritis and said it could cause diarrhea.
I ate meloxucon again and the diarrhea stopped.
Colonoscopy confirmed no long-term damage.
I feel good again!
I think it might be helpful for readers.
Your sincerity
Dear Norah m h, thank you for your contact
As you said, it is important to realize that eliminating inflam can also cause diarrhea, which is a side effect.
Dear Dr. Le Fanu: I am 76 years old and have been taking lometriac for more than 2 years and have never had any adverse side effects on me, they are great, and stop the terrible symptoms of acid excess and reflux
I find that all counter-remedies are invalid.
Jennifer TDear Jennifer T, thank you for your contact, please see my reply to Colin H above.
