Question

What could cause rapid heart beat and flushing after drinking alcohol?

Answer 1

Not likely: I am not aware of any gene that selects for generalized sinus tachycardia. I am familiar with clusters of atrial fibrillation that seem famiilial.

Answer 2

Reduce pain: There is actually some debate about the use of nitroglycerine in the setting of all heart attacks. It is known that nitroglycerine dilates the veins and to a lesser extent the arteries and sort of "unloads" the heart. As such it will make it easier for the heart to pump under the stressful circumstances of a heart attack. However, when the blood pressure is low, it is not a good idea.

Answer 3

Dilation: Nitrates like Nitroglycerin cause the arteries to dilate so more blood flows (higher rate). This is to try to mitigate the lack of blood flow to the affected part of the heart through increased flow in the affected arteries and in collateral circulation.

Answer 4

Yes: Lyrica (pregabalin) is one type of "nerve pain" medicine. There are several different types of "nerve pain" medication. You would want to increase Lyrica (pregabalin) to the highest dose before you could say it isn't working. Naproxen is an an anti-inflammatory medication. Narcotics are the strongest medication with evidence for improving neuropathic pain.

Answer 5

Neuropathy: Maybe a multidisciplinary or multimodality approach can optimize yor treatment. Physical therapy, maybe acupuncture, proper socks and shoes and maybe opioids. Talk to your doctor.

Answer 6

See an allergist: The symptoms you describe sound like allergies (except for the rapid heart beat). An allergist can teat you to determine what specific allergy you have. Additionally, you should have your primary care doctor evaluate your racing heart. In fact, this should be dealt with before the allergies are checked.

Answer 7

See your doctor: Itchy eyes are a symptom of allergy, and if there are a lot of secretions, this can lead to temporary blurring of vision. But neither light sensitivity nor rapid heart beat are symptoms of an allergic reaction (rapid heart beat only with a severe, life-threatening reaction). You need to see your doctor to get all these symptoms sorted out.

Answer 8

COXSACKIE VIRUS: Hand foot and mouth disease is caused by coxsackie virus, and usully causes rash in hands, lesions in the oral cavity, and rash inloving soles of feet, but sometimes you can rash on arms and legs as well.It resolves completely without and tratment and there are no saquele of this benign condition in children, it is contagious condition spreads easily in day care anmd schools.

Answer 9

Usually OK: Hand-foot-mouth disease is a common childhood illness. To make the diagnosis, you need to see blisters on the palms of the hand, soles of the feet, and in the mouth. However, you can get a rash or blisters anywhere else as well. As you noted, a fever often occurs as well. As long as the fever is gone as he is acting fine, should be ok. Check with doctor if things change.

Answer 10

Normal: Hand foot and mouth also has the rash in other places legs included.

Answer 11

Hand Foot & Mouth: Although, as the name says, the rash is on the hands, feet and in the mouth, it can also occur in other places. The knees are a common spot. As long as he is recovering, and the fever has resolved, it's likely nothing to worry about. If he is worsening, see your doctor.

Answer 12

Reassuring: Hand foot mouth disease rash can extend occasionally to arms and legs and diaper area. The rash typically does not bother the child. The mouth blisters can be painful. Rash will resolve in 3-5 days.

Answer 13

Yes: The hand, foot, mouth disease strain that is circulating this year is causing a lot of strange, peripheral body rashes. No need to worry, this should resolve with 1-2 weeks.

Answer 14

Viral rash: Enterovirus - the virus that causes hand, foot and mouth can give several different types of rashes. New rash is probably from the virus.

Answer 15

Normal: Children with hand-foot-mouth disease may develop rash over buttock, thigh, genitalia, and knees beside the characteristic blistery rash over hands and feet.

Answer 16

Hand foot and mouth: There are some sequelae of the Hand Foot and mouth rash. But if the rash does not blanch with pressure, I would rather have the child seen by the Pediatrician and tested to make sure his platelets are not too low.

Answer 17

Avoid crash diets: The goal of losing weight is keeping it off and improving health. Low calorie diets usually accomplish neither result. Instead, completely avoid foods that contain white sugar, white flour, white rice, and white pasta. Eat plenty of vegetables and beans and a fair share of fruits and nuts, and add wild fish like salmon and cod at least three times a week, stay physically active and watch lbs. Drop.

Answer 18

Need supervision: Severe calorie restriction will cause sarcopenia - essential muscle loss and subsequent weight gain leads to sarcopenic obesity - stick hands and legs big midsection. Loosing hair is a sign of adrenal stress and imbalance in hormones causing indirect thyroid stress. You need supervision by md for weight loss or contact first line therapist by http://metagenics.Com - get the therapist in your area.
