What Is Phenomenon

This is new to me and getting worse by the week extreme swelling cuticle beds and burning red fingers and hands.. clubbing nails and numb fingertips ... dr prescribed pifedine 30mg 1 a day... Anybody with any ideas on diet ..home remedys cures and causes ??? ## Hello, Brooke! How are you? Are you certain that it's Reynaud's? The numb fingertips, along with the burning sensation can be normal symptoms of it, but not the swelling and clubbing nails. The swelling is usually the entire finger or toe. You may need to get a second opinion. I've had it since I was a child, so I am well aware of its symptoms. Are you on any other medications? Additionally, there is a risk of this medication making it worse, because it can affect blood circulation, as listed by the FDA. Its other sid...

I am 72 years old and has been prescribed oxetol-150 by a neurologist recently. I would like to know the side-effects of taking oxetol-150. Below is my case history - I'm feeling shivering around the area of heart for the last 6-8 weeks which spreads to the upper part of body and limbs and continues for 90 minutes to 150 minutes. This phenomenon leads to thumping in chest, rapid exhalation and giddiness. If this symptom starts when I am asleep, I get awakened feeling very uneasy and I get up and sit on bed till it subsides. I am a known COPD patient and suffer from wheezing for which I use Biocler 250 tab, Mucinac 600 tab, Duolin, Maxiflow forte in Rota haler as advised by doctor. On doctor's advice, I have done ECG, ECHO, taken chest x-ray, TMT and 24 hours Holter monitoring but n

blanco L7 ## After this long of a time period, I am unable to find a listing for a tablet with this marking, which may also be affect by the fact that it gives the impression of being a foreign tablet. What I do know, however, is that this is frequently misunderstood name for the medication Carvedilol, which is an alpha/beta block that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. By it's very mechanism of action, it may cause Raynaud's Phenomenon in some people, so it should only be used under proper medical supervision. Are there any questions I can help with? You can learn more Carvedilol details here.

Have stopped taking Mirtazapine because of excrutiating pain in my legs whilst on it. I have had cold / freezing feet for years but when on Mirt my feet were always warm and toasty. Does anyone know why this should be and what ingredient would have been responsible?? It was lovely to have warm feet and be able to wear little shoes rather than boots and socks all the time and I would take a 'warm feet' pill if I knew of one provided it didn't have painful side effects! ## Hello, Lesley! How are you? It sounds like you may have Raynauds Phenomenon, which is a syndrome where your circulation is kind of screwed up, so your hands and feet get cold easily. It can happen due to various weather conditions, medications, or emotional stress, as reported by the NIH. I suffer from it my...

I experienced my first major depressive episode after my sophomore year of college at age 20 (in 2002). During my sophomore year of college, my hair went from being straight to corkscrew-like curly nearly overnight. I had no way to explain this phenomenon at the time, but my hair was easier to fix and added personality so I thought, hey, cool, weird for it to do this, but, cool! I think "chemicals" in my brain had started to change and remember feeling "out of place" and uncomfortable in my own skin a lot. I was a straight A student my freshman year of college and A/B student my sophomore year. I frequently swithched majors because I felt like I could not think through my decisions (irritated, fluctuating moods) and I had no idea what I truly enjoyed in life. After my ma...

It is more generally known as the feeling of pins and needles or of a limb being asleep (although this is not directly related to the phenomenon of sleep). To learn more click on the link below.....

Tirapazamine

Tirapazamine (SR-[[4233]]) is an experimental anticancer drug that is activated to a toxic radical only at very low levels of oxygen (hypoxia). Such levels are common in human solid tumors, a phenomenon known as tumor hypoxia. Thus, tirapazamine is activated to its toxic form preferentially in the hypoxic areas of solid tumors. Cells in these regions are resistant to killing by radiotherapy and most anticancer drugs. Thus the combination of tirapazamine with conventional anticancer treatments...
