May not be an issue: the recent data on niaspan was not great,. The drug did not significantly reduce mortality or morbidity.

What has changed: Look at what is different this week.  Physically,has your weight hit a low and your body is needing more fuel?Are you exercising more intensely?

These questions may help you begin to figure it out.

Beware: The FDA requires warning labels on foods sold to the public. They are specific to require labeling that cites content of any of the 8 major food allergens. Most companies also warn when/if machines/spaces used during production were shared with such foods since even tiny amounts may have entered the product &amp; may trigger a major reaction in some patients.

Pregnancy wt gain: Surprisingly, if you are underweight when you get pregnant you are encouraged to gain more weight during your pregnancy. Women with a BMI of under 18.5 are encouraged to gain between 13-18kg. Women with a normal BMI of 18.5-24.9 are encouraged to gain between 11-16kg and women with a BMI over 25 are encouraged to gain only 7-9kg. Watch your salt intake, and total calories if you are concerned.
