MEDICATION: With your complicated medical history it is very important for you to consult with a Psychiatrist who works with your other Drs. as a team to prescribe the best treatment for you.

Question 2

is it common for 34 yr old male to have heart failure just coz of obesity? as my diabetes n bp is well managed. help. thanks

Accepted Answer

Congestive heart fai: Yes, your heart has to work harder to supply blood to all that extra weight through miles of extra vessels. It has a work load it can’t keep up with. Exercise, weight loss and CoQ 10 can help.

Question 3

my mom is 72 years old she has diabetes congestive heart failure her ekg came back with fluid and heart enlarged. how should we proceed?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation by cardio: She needs to be evaluated completely by a cardiologist, with an echocardiogram as the first step, and laboratory data and exam.  Depending upon the results of the above, one can proceed with appropriate medical therapy.

Question 4

End stage Liver fail: Unfortunately there is no absolute answer. It depends upon person to person and number of comorbidities and degree of comorbidities. In some people it is less than six months. In another people it could be more prolonged.

Question 5

my father is 69 years old and suffering from diabetes and heart failure. his efficiency is 15% and serum urea level is 85 ( last week it was - 75) and creatinine is 1.5 last week reading (1.68) what to do? he is taking esmr for 2nd time?

Accepted Answer

: I assume your father has severe ischemic cardiomyopathy. His abnormal kidney function is purely pre-renal azotemia, i.e. renal insufficiency is due to heart failure with impaired renal perfusion. The only way to improve the kidney function (for lowering BUN &amp; creatinine ) is the treatment to improve left ventricular ejection fraction. I am not sure if ESMR is making any difference.

Question 6

names of most suitable ssri antidepressant needed for multiinfarct stroke dementia patient, 67, with minor congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, diabetes. dosage and duration info appreciated.

Accepted Answer

SSRI: I'd start with an anti-depressant from the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor group that have shown to be beneficial in cases of vascular dementia. Either zoloft (sertraline) (starting at 12.5 or 25 mg wth increase to 25 or 50 mg eventually and even higher doses) or Celexa starting at 10 mg and then increasing to 20-40 mg eventually may be a good start.

Question 7

my father is in congestive systolic heart failure.he had multiple stokes. he has coronary artery disease,diabetes,cardiomyopathy,left bundle branch block, he was just diagnosed with diastolic chf what does that mean? is this end stage? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Your father has advanced disease and multiple morbidities, and the prognosis is not good, however, it is not feasible to predict the course of a given patient.'

Question 8

how strong can your heart get after congested heart failure?

Accepted Answer

Depends: On the severity of the CHF and the condition the heart is and how well it pumps so ask your cardiologist as he is best qualified to answer this question.

Question 9

can congested heart failure & a fib cause my hyperaerated lung problem?

Accepted Answer

More fluid filled.: Congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation, if anything, cause your lungs to be more fluid filled, not hyperaerated. Hyperaeration of the lungs goes along with emphysema, which is related to smoking of course.

Question 10

canu take benadryl (diphenhydramine) allergy medicine if taking medicine for congested heart failure?

Accepted Answer

Unsure without : Knowing what other medication you are speaking about. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is generally safe with most medications, but to be cautious, can not be sure without knowing what medication it is.
