2 REPLIES UpdatedI'm just not sure what is going on...I've been on Aggrenox for several weeks, at first I just had a mild headache for a few days and that's about it...and then I came down with a cold & running nose with body aches....it's about 5 days later and I'm still having a sick-like flu feeling...I'm trying to figure out whether it's the Aggrenox or if I'm still infected with the flu virus...all my family at present has the flu... ## It is hard to say, because Aggrenox has been known to cause upper respiratory tract infections, as a side effect in some people that take it, along with coughing, nausea, headache, and dizziness. So, it could be the medication, illness, or even a combination of both. How are you feeling, now? Has there been any change? Have you co...

30 REPLIES UpdatedFound small aqua green pill on my bench with a heart logo on 1 side and 2 triangle shapes on the other. Not mine and i hav sml kids who could hav got to it can u tell me what it is? ## I have no idea but im telling you now, Ive never heard of any pharmaceutical company that stamps hearts on pills. Most likely its molly or something in that class. ## Hi suzie, Based on my research I think Kevin may be on to something with his guess on molly. I actually came across a photo of round light green pill with an embedded heart logo on one side and a score on the other; which was also identified as such. I'm not sure about the triangle shapes you mentioned, but a few things to take note of in this particular pill are the texture (i.e. chalky?), smell, and even the taste or dimensions if you ...
9 REPLIES UpdatedQuestion. Anyone have a stroke and a couple months afterward develop a palsy like tremor. Is there a med to treat this? My left side, affected by the stroke, later developed a terrible palsy, for lack of word. This includes the shoulder, shoulder blade left leg. Used to cut hair. Can't anymore. Can barely butter my toast without crushing it. Can't hold a beverage in left hand. Would a parkinsons drug help me? Very disabling. If I had some idea what medication may help control this I could propose such to my primary care doctor. I try, at all cost to stay away from specialists. Too many doctors. The idea that it was not there right after stroke, suggests something happened neurologically after coming home. What drug controls tremors in parkinsons? This is embarrassing, especially...

How are you? It is just a nutritional supplement, so it may not help him gain weight, or anything, it depends on many other factors. Additionally, it may interact with some medications, so you should check with his doctor, before giving him anything new to take. Pol, no, it shouldn't cause that. Is there anythin...
5 REPLIES UpdatedIn December 1995, at the age of 42 years, I was victim of a severe stroke which affected my right side totally. As by wonder, I survived the stroke without major implications. But ever since, I produce an abundant amount of saliva in my mouth. Even when taking care when talking to somebody, I still have amounts of saliva coming out of my mouth. Worse is my sleep or rest. Wherever I lay my head to sleep or to rest, a big spot of saliva is left behind. Are there others who suffer from the same symptoms and more important to me, did you find a medication to control the over producing of saliva? TIA ## ck with a dds. for the drug they have to dry a patients mouth so they can operate also ck for chinese herbs ## Hi. Is there any hope to recover from left lenticular stroke?

2 REPLIES UpdatedSomeone who works for me part time has been prescribed Flupen 250. He had a bad turn (stroke like symptoms. Lame left arm, face numb on one side & eye sight blured) about 6months back. He was seen by a local clinic in the area & kept in hospital for a day. He has full movement now, but is still sluggish. The problem is he has not been informed by the medical proffessionals what his problem is. He is now experiencing hearing loss in his left ear.

6 REPLIES UpdatedI would like to know if it is fine for a stroke patient to take a Neuronerv vitamin B1 + B6 + B12? ## Has their doctor told them to take it? If so, they should do so, most B vitamins are known to help with nerve support, health, and function. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, diarrhea, and insomnia, due to its potency. Are there any questions?

4 REPLIES UpdatedDoes Betamox make any difference in people who've had a stroke? ## Has your doctor prescribed it for you? It is just an antibiotic and should be safe, if your doctor approves. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. ## Where can I get BetaMax from Chisolm in Seacoast? I'm in immediate need here. Our cold season in Seacoast is full on. Thanks in advance.
2 REPLIES UpdatedEarlier this year, I was hospitalized for a stroke. It was actually pretty mild, I sounded like I was drunk and had a slight droop to my right side of my face. From tests done over time, the doctor's are pretty are convinced it was caused from my untreated high blood pressure. I have had HBP for years, and taking meds for it. My RX ran out last Dec. and my PCP would not refill it, until I check with the cardiologist I had seen one time a year earlier. I emailed her, during this time (12/15/16) because it was Christmas time, probably would not be able to see anyone until after the first of the year, AND I was pretty sure my insurance was going to change AGAIN - THANK YOU Obama care! The past few years, it always seems to change, and FINALLY, by the end of March, you get your new card...

2 REPLIES UpdatedI am 67 .I have hyppertnsion for the past 25 years .iam using amlopressat and asa.My blood presure is under control.i have swelling in legs,my serum creatinine is 2.can i use nephrosave.If so howlong ## YES. THE SWELLING IN THE LEGS ARE DUE TO AN INCREASE IN CREATININE LEVELS AND THIS SWELLING IS REDUCED ALONG WITH REDUCTION IN CREATININE ALSO- WITH HERBAL -TRADITIONAL MEDICINES FROM SOUTH INDIA. ## GOPAL, what medication did your doctor instruct you take? Such swelling is not always due to elevated creatinine, thus improper treatment could put you at risk of experiencing a dangerous health emergency, such as a stroke, heart attack, or congestive heart failure. According to FDA reports, this is a chance that the swelling could be due to the Amlopres AT, your diet, or lack of proper exer...
2 REPLIES UpdatedActually, I am not the one who gonna take this med, it is my mother who is a stroke victim and I am worried that if she will take this med, we don't know yet the reaction in her condition. ## Has she been told to take it by a medical professional? What other medications is she taking? This medication is listed as containing Ebastine, and Betamethasone, both of which can sometimes cause elevated blood pressure and heart rate, so it might not be safe for her to take it, according NIH reports. I suffered congestive heart failure and high blood pressure, and there are some medications that I cannot safely take, either. She shouldn't take anything her doctor has not approved. Doing so could be very risky, she might even experience another stroke, if she takes something she shouldn...
1 REPLY Updated in Ebastinemy mother is 79 years old and she had a brain stroke two years ago. After 2 years, she had headache and therefore doctor prescribed her ecospirin for blood thinning alongwith other B.P. and diabetic medicines. Her hemoglobin level has been reduced to 4.6 once and after ten days again reduced to 5.4. Doctor has carried out all related tests like CT, Echo, Endoscopy and other tests of Gastrology. But nothing has came out, all reports were normal. Doctor has advised to stop the ecospirin tablet. Is this will be the reason of reducing hemoglobin. Please advise. ## Does use of ecospirin 75 decrease hemoglobin which was given to my son after increase in platelets due to lino renal shunt surgery
