CARVEDILOL vs LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND EPINEPHRINE

I have been on Valsartan 80MG once a day Carvedilol 6mg twice a day I started back in late may. And OMG I’ve felt out of reality. I’m clumsy now. I can’t focus. I’m sluggish. I’m always tired. People talk to me and I have to force my self to focus. I am not myself no more. I used to be aware. Sh

Hi! I'm a 41 y.o. woman who's had high blood pressure since I was 20. Although I am genetically predisposed to the condition from both parents, I also spent many years being very unhealthy and sedentary. After my weight increased to around 320 pounds and I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, I finally d

I have hypertension since I’m a kid, it came with my kidney disease which became end stage kidney disease before I turned 16. I had periods after started dialysis when I didn’t needed BP meds but in the last 6 moths it was horrible, 195/120 in the morning many times. I took 10 mg Amlodipine and 5 mg

Hello everyone! I just got home from a doctor's appointment due to some back pain. Like always, whenever I'm in the clinic, my heart cant stop beating and I'm very anxious and nervous for no reason. When the doctor took my BP, I told her that I'm feeling nervous. She told me to relax and I tried. Th

So last year I managed to hit 220/120 with a panic attack. In the hospital, I seemed to hover around 180/100 when I was discharged. Heavy drinker, eating terrible, very overweight, and under-medicated. 8 months have gone by and I've lost 60 pounds, been far more aware of my salt intake, cut out alc

It has a huge heatwave in my country, my 135/80 BP skyrocketed to 207. I didn’t go to the ER. I solved it with doubleing all of my medications. I take 5 mg Amlodipine, 12,5 mg Carvedilol and 5 mg Ramipril. I took yesterday night 10 mg Amlodipin, 25 mg Carvedilol and 10 mg of Ramipril. It solved it,

ME: I agree with you. I'm really trying to make strides in the weight and exercise routines. It's just when it gets high at times like that, I tend to freak. and anxiety sets in. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do in those circumstances? Hopefully, they are, and will continue to les

I wasn’t feeling fabulous yesterday(dizzy, tired, and had a headache). I checked my BP and it was 161/133 which is the highest I’ve ever had. Which terrified me. I went to the ER because I was very concerned regarding that. Once at the ER, they did bloodwork, urine sample, and monitored my vitals. M

I am so fucking tired of the discrimination that women face when it comes to medical treatment. From being gaslighted, denied therapy or misdiagnosed, this discrimination often costs women their lives. One particular horrible mistreatment of women is the performance of gynecological procedures witho

So I was telling an acquaintance about this and he thought it was pretty interesting, so I thought I would share it with you guys. About 6 years ago my friend and I were on our way to pick up another friend from work at around 10pm. He was the driver and I was the passenger. We approach the intersec

I need some advice/ guidance. I am a male in my mid 20s and I went to a dentist to have a filling done on my back molar. The dentist applied lidocaine and did an injection into my gums on the upper right side. That was the last thing I remember. The next thing I know I am being pushed out in a gurne

I’ve been wanting to write this out and share my story for a while. I finally did. Here’s the very true and very real story: It was February 15th. 2018. The day after Valentine’s Day (which fell on a Thursday.) I was a little depressed during that whole week. But that is beyond the point of this sto

Ten years ago I got a copper IUD inserted. I did it at Planned Parenthood because, at the time, I worked for a school that relied on that bullshit Hobby Lobby stuff to not cover any birth control. This is no way a knock against Planned Parenthood, which is out here doing vital work, but the experien

I was curious if anyone working on the hospital side of things would be willing to share any ideas or solutions for managing the lidocaine/epinephrine drug shortage? Currently playing with the idea of compounding the product from stock epinephrine and lidocaine with the intent of packaging and stor

Basically, it’s compounded as a cream or gel, 6%lidocaine : 0.02% epinephrine: 4% tetracaine The epinephrine is essential in this compound as it leaves a “halo” of “numbing” but also aids in the procedure. Apparently there’s a shortage and there seems to be no conclusive answer, what does the phar
