worried that ive been taking too many magnesium supplements. daily intake 400-800 mg a day. epsom salt baths on top of it. heart rate is in bradycardia range. any correlation? or would i have other symptoms of magnesium overdose first.

Question

Which drugs, vitamin supplements, or techniques cause slow heart rate?

Answer 1

Possible: You can absorb magnesium from the bath and oral Magnesium at 800mg is a maximum amount to take. I think your assessment is correct. Hold off on the magnesium and see what happens.

Answer 2

Maybe: According to the Office of Dietary Supplements, symptoms of magnesium overdose may include: diarrhea. nausea and vomiting. lethargy. muscle weakness. abnormal electrical conduction in the heart. low blood pressure. urine retention. respiratory distress.

Answer 3

No: Heart attacks are typically a result of platelets sticking together and blocking an artery in the heart. Aspirin blocks the platelets ability to stick together decreasing the chance that a blockage (heart attack) will occur. For this reason, Aspirin is one of the most effective medicines ever discovered for the prevention of heart attacks. Neither tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen has this effect.

Answer 4

Aspirin is better: You can't can't beat good old Aspirin for this eurpose.

Answer 5

Only Aspirin Daily: Only Aspirin is indicated for prevention of heart attack acetaminophen and ibuprophen are not used and not recommended for prevention of heart attack.

Answer 6

Possible / unlikely: If you were having monthly cycles before you got the shot, you should not have ovulated by then time you were sexually active. But you may have ovulated by about a week later - giving a remote chance that there would still be viable sperm around to fertilize an egg. You do need to take a pregnancy test. The spotting is likely due to the shot - about 70% of women will have spotting after the shot.

Answer 7

No: Your symptoms do not suggest a heart problem. The arm and neck pain sounds musculoskeletal, perhaps a pinched nerve in the neck. The foot problem could also be irritation of a nerve in teh leg. You would need an examination to pinpoint the problem.

Answer 8

Can be never too saf: Could be arthritis in your neck. However heart problems can sometimes have atypical symptoms. If you are in pain in arms, chest, upper back, neal and / or jaw right now go to the er. If not call your doctor.

Answer 9

Biopsy when stable: The current studies suggest that there may be a cancer. The source could be the lung or thyroid. This could also be benign, but with the pe it will need further workup. After the pe is stabilized a biopsy is the only way to know.

Answer 10

Biopsy: Biopsy is needed to prove cancer. However, it cannot be done while on anticoagulation which he needs for the pe. You may consider a pet scan to find the easiest place to biopsy once the anticoagulation can be safely held. There are also alternative diagnoses to explain all of these findings, such as autoimmune diseases and infection. That said, you still need to rule out cancer.

Answer 11

Biopsy: The easiest in this case is to biopsy the thyroid nodules. You don't need to go off the anticoagulant to biopsy a thyroid nodule. The needles that we use is so small that bleeding is not a big concern with thyroid biopsies.

Answer 12

Depends: During sexual activity there are many points when sperm containing sexual fluids can leak & contaminate fingers or end up at your vaginal opening apart from the main event. If none of this fluid had access to your vagina, you can't get pregnant from sex using an alternative site.
