Question 2

high psa test result. gp wants to redo the test and add free psa test.  any other blood tests to ask for ( e.g. esr ) to explain cause of high psa ?

Accepted Answer

We need more info: Send us your PSA level values and tell us your age. Then we can guide you further.  It is a good idea to have a recheck of PSA in 2 to 3 months in case the first value is on the higher side of normal for your age. Other tests may not be all that helpful(ESR has NO role in this situation)

Question 3

why would cause a psa level to register high without a prostate?

Accepted Answer

Cancer: The onyt indication to remove a prostate is for cancer. If one had their prostate removed for cancer and the psa begins to rise, this is an indication that the cancer has recurred. You must see youur urologist for further testing and to begin treatment.

Question 4

Not really : It may increase the psa very slightly but only briefly as part of an inflammatory response. But, generally, no. The psa should not be elevated high enough to worry. If it is, you need it checked out.

Question 5

: Prostatitis can raise the PSA. It can come from infection or inflammation. A raised PSA should be evaluated by an urologist

Question 6

history of svt,pvc's,pac's in the past. it had been years. now had svt 2 weeks ago and  a lot of pvc or pacs past 2 days. cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

SVT needs evaluation: You know many words like SVT, but unclear if you have been diagnosed. Best diagnosed by a cardiologist or EP cardiologist. Diagnosis is important for proper medical  treatment. Do you take any meds?  Could it be that you have an electrolyte imbalance?  You should make an appointment with a cardiologist and get a Holter and Echo and have your electrolytes tested as well (blood test).

Question 7

can gas, lots of belching , cause pacs?

Accepted Answer

Gas,pacs: It is possible but there are many causes of pacs.

Question 8

can pvcs and pacs be caused by extra adrenalin? got dysautonomia and standing increases adrenalin and hr levels. if it does are they harmful?

Accepted Answer

Possible: The extra heartbeats and the rapid heartbeat could be related to adrenaline, which may be in response to your dysautonomia. You may need to consider having your physician have you see a cardiologist if he is any question. From what you're telling me this is not anything dangerous. Your physician should help clarify the setting.

Question 9

can food/eating cause premature atrial contractions? i have been diagnosed with pac from my cardiologist

Accepted Answer

PAC: This an electrical abnormality  of the conduction  in the heart and is of no great significance.it is not usually food related

Question 10

my ep prescribed flecainide for my benign pvcs/pacs. should i get a 2nd opinion cause i'm scared to take a heart med for something that's "benign"?

Accepted Answer

Benign ectopy: Perhaps there is something of greater concern (to your cardilologist) on your cardiac studies.  However, if your echo is unremarkable,  and your holter exam shows pacs and pvcs without ventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation, then obtaining a second opinion is reasonable before initiating an anti-arrhythmic med.
