Question

I have a 17 yr old boy that has had ablation for SVT 2 years ago. Is it possible that it did not take? He is having fluutering shortness of breath, chest pains high blood pressure, fast heart rate.

Answer 1

blood donation: The low blood pressure and increased heart rate are not unusual post blood donation. Fever is unusual and if you aren't cooking up a cold and it isn't gone promptly, i'd consult your dr.

Answer 2

No: Not a specific group of symptoms for insufficiency.

Answer 3

It can be: However, it can be a cause of literally hundreds of other things, including anything that is causing dehydration. When we dont have enough liquid on board, the heart speeds up, blood pressure goes down and the body makes lots of adrenaline to counteract this, causing shakes and anxiety. Adrenal insufficiency can also do this. First thing, get hydrated! second - call your doctor.

Answer 4

It depends: Generally Aspirin is still safe in those with a history ulcers so long as acid medications such as omeprazole, nexium, (esomeprazole) protonix, prevacid, etc are taken along with it to prevent recurrence. You should have taken a similar medication to heal the ulcer. If you are allergic to Aspirin or intolerant for some other reason a medication such as Plavix may be reasonable. Discuss with your doctor.

Answer 5

Multiple Choices: Plavix (clopidogrel) is usually the best choice for people who cannot tolerate aspirin.

Answer 6

Yes: A collapsed lung (known as a pneumothorax) can cause subcutaneous emphysema when air moves from the chest through muscle and into muscle planes below skin. Subcutaneous emphysema is usually a sign that a pneumothorax is present. Typical signs of a pneumothorax include dyspnea (shortness of breath), chest pain, and fast respiratory rate.

Answer 7

It could: It could if the lung is collapsed because air is leaking from it. That is a serious problem that requires immediate attention! there are many reasons for a collapsed lung and not all of them will have the symptom of subcutaneous emphysema. Either way you need to see your doctor who can determine if your lung is collapsed by listening to your lungs and doing a chest x-ray.

Answer 8

See your doctor: These extra symptoms are just more severe migraines. Migraines are the body's warning system. Something is stressing you that is making your migraines more complex. You may have infection, allergic reaction, toxic reaction to food or drug, or some emotional crisis. You need a good medical checkup.

Answer 9

Vague: Your symptoms are a concern, especially if the symptoms have persisted for awhile. I would see a doctor asap.

Answer 10

Maybe: A blood pregnancy test would be a good idea, ? Bladder infection. Maybe your period is about to start.

Answer 11

HPT: Don't know how long your cycle is. Has it been at least 14 days since sexual intercourse. If you took pregnancy test right at time of missed period, consider another one. If has been at least a week or more since missed period is is most likely accurate.
