Cardiovascular :: Head Gets Warm, Ears Red And Hot Strong Pulse In Ears
Hearing heartbeat in ears. Sometimes it gets stronger First symptom is face gets very warm no fever, ears get hot and red and sensitive (right one) and whoosh or tzzing hearing in ears like pulse. It subsides after 8 hrs or less. Impossible to sleep. If I sleep flat on back am awakened 2 hrs later by
very strong heart beat like its forcing a lot of blood thru. Subsides with exercise. Condition goes away for 48 hrs so heart system not fighting infection. If I sleep with upper torso at 45 degree angle still wake after 2 hrs but pulses not as strong. Then after I can sleep for hrs no problem. Dr checked ears ok, did all blood work ok, I'm male 67 yrs and in gen good health. Did ultrasound on abdominal kidneys bladder ok. Seems like some chemical command triggering heart to pump harder and faster not too fast. I tested things to try to determine what triggers the face heat, ears hot and harder beats, chocolate, caffeine, pepsi's, salt, coughing, cigarette smoking, stressful video games have no effect. BP normal am taking Ramipril 10 mg Altace nothing else. Dont think its heart but something telling heart to work hard, feel it thumping in chest. Just repeated T3's blood test..and 24 hr urine special test..awaiting results. Reg urine test showed nothing, and abdominal ultrasound clear. No dizziness, nausea etc. Bowel and urine movement perfect, no pains or lightheadedness.

View 5 RepliesHaloperidol Blocked Dopamine Receptors Of The Brain Permanently?
I once got an injection of Haloperidol at E.R. I heard it blocks dopamine receptors of the brain. Is this blockage permanent after one shot?
I dopamine deficiency symptoms. My condition is:
I have no issues concentrating, I can focus for at least 16 hours a day and I don't even notice if the sun goes down along the way, I can't be distracted, unless I chose to leave my task
I remember everything I learned, be it source codes letter by letter and in big mass (60 pages of handout)
My dexterity and balance serves me well
I am unable to get excited, I'm never satisfied with what I do. At first maybe a bit then I think its not that good.
I have issues falling asleep when I start thinking about my projects, on how to do them.
I can't really express emotions, I have a neutral state and when I'm worried
I'm antisocial, I only care about getting better at what I do.
I had this condition in all my life, I'm just worried if the injection caused any lasting impact on my brain.
Anxiety :: Nervous Breakdown - Memory Loss And Damaged Permanently
In March of 1980, I had my first nervous breakdown.... and the reason that I use this old term is because it's the closest thing to being accurate. Symptoms included a sensation of electrical discharge. I lost quite a bit of my personal memory banks. I was in the hospital due to depression, and from the hospital I went to many facilities before recouping enough to live on my own again. I thought it impossible that I could have anything even remotely like this again. But since that time I have had 3 more breakdowns in my life. Now my memory is horribly damaged, but the kind of loss does not appear in psych testing. The psych testing that is done can not test for personal memory. Things like memory for faces... for conversation... for what you did on a given day....for where you parked your car at the ball game. All of that is severely damaged. My wife looks out for me, but she does not truly understand what is wrong. I wish I could explain it to her. It's tough to explain to anybody. And, I've never found another soul who went thru this.... that is, anxiety leading to permanent personal/mental damage.
I am new to this site, so perhaps there has been others who have gone thru this. What I cannot understand is why mine was permanent. I've read about so many folks who went thru this or that, only to get better. But the electrical discharge I felt in 1980...that was real.... and seemingly unique. Wondering if anyone has ever heard of anything remotely like this.....
Migraine :: Migraine Attacks Are Back / Menopause
I never suffered from migraine attacks until I was in my mid-40's.
They seemed to be linked to the beginning of hormonal changes related to the start of menopause. I would get a pain over my left eye (usually, though right occasionally), with a feeling of nausea and sometimes slight numb feeling on the side of my face. I would turn quite a pale white colour, and also feel very tired, yawning a lot. I would take medication, migraleve tablets and lay down in a darkened room. Usually, I would recover within 24 hours, though I would feel 'worn out' for a few days after the attack.
Since I have discovered by self analysis, that citrus fruits, especially orange juice (which I no longer drink), chocolate and strong coffee all seem to be triggers, which I try to avoid.
For the last five years, I have been clear of migraines, but have now started to get them again. I have passed the menopause but have had a lot of stress in my life recently, so I wonder if this is the cause of the recurrence? My last attack was quite different from the others I have experienced, in that I was feeling fine (though had been really tired the day before for no apparent reason) when I suddenly developed black zigzag lines across my left eye (very frightening at first). These went on for about 10 minutes and then slowly I developed a severe migraine, though this was not over one particular eye, but both. I had feelings of nausea and also felt cold at times. I took Migraleve pink and yellow but the headache is still persisting the next day. I wonder why I developed these other symptoms of visual disturbance. Can stress really do this to your body?!
PS I know there is a family history of migraine.
Classic Migraine Changed To Silent Migraine In 30's
I had classic migraines through my teenage years which stopped for a couple of years before continuing at on average one every couple of months with the odd instance of a back to back cluster of 3-10 at once. They were always the same 20 minute aura then axe in the head pain and repeated vomiting for 6 hours followed by a 24hr hangover. Over the years I have tried all preventers with only Epilim and Topiramate working for 18 months. I built up tolerance to Epilim and Topiramate gave me side effects that ended in a blood disorder so cannot take either any more. Beta blockers and antidepressants never worked and Lisinopril was also a short lived waste of time. The only triptan that ever worked was Maxalt rizatriptan but again it lost its effect after 6 months. Something weird has now happened and I wonder if others have had this? I am now 36 and in the last 6 months my migraines have totally changed. I still get the aura but if I take Express Nurofen and an anti sickness tablet straight away or use a heat pack on the back of the neck no pain or sickness comes just 6 hours of extreme tiredness. I always used to throw up any tablets so this is a miracle however the frequency has stepped up to between 5 and 20 a month so it is really impacting on my life. I have had an MRI and all is normal. I have also tried supplements and alternative therapies with no success. Botox and nerve blockers are the next suggestion but will they treat this scenario if there is no pain? Will it stop the aura too and prevent the whole episode? Help!

View 1 RepliesCholesteatoma :: BOTH Ears?
Has anyone experienced a recurrent cholesteatoma in one ear and now a cholesteatoma in the other?
I experience chronic pain and chronic migraines as a result of the 3 surgeries I've had in my right ear. I have severe tinnitus. So severe, that there are times when I literally cannot hear anything around me. Another thing is that sound gets extremely distorted should a voice or sound be too high or too low - you can imagine how difficult this is being a PreSales IT Architect who speaks with a number of people every day.
Also, my right eyelid and right side of my face fall a little lower than my left. In addition to this, I feel pain outside the ear as well and in the muscle that has been relocated three times for each surgery. This causes me pain when I simply move my head in any direction...even when I make facial expressions. Dizziness and vertigo are almost a daily occurrence with some days worse than others...It feels like the room is in a blender. Driving is also becoming increasingly difficult as I often feel like the car is still moving when I come to a stop and vice versa....It's a laundry list of things, I know.
I now have a cholesteatoma in my LEFT ear with my 1st surgery on that is on 11/13/15.
Having Noises In My Ears
I am now having noises in my ears, like an engine running etc. I use oxygen and a nippy ventilator so I don't know what to do. Its really getting me down, not sleeping much which I need to do.
I am 49 years old. The specialist couldn't do AN MRI scan on my ears as I couldn't lie flat, don't know whether they can do a CT scan either, I thought he would have offered something when I couldn't have the MRI, I am a bit cross, I am worse since having the hearing aid, my hearing was going but at least I could use the phone which I can't now, that is really getting me down as I'm not always with my partner so we contact each other by telephone, that is the only way I communicate a lot of the time as I can't always go out with my breathing problems.

View 1 RepliesSmoking Weed Cause Damage To Your Heart?
Firstly I don't really smoke that much weed only the occasional joint with mates, but yesterday, some gave me a joint, so I had it to myself last night whilst watching some TV, I guess I smoked it all in quick succession (btw it wasn't a joint, it was a bit smaller, but bigger than the average cigarette size) anyways, I felt good after it, got good and funny sensations, like my limbs weight a lot, not being able to move because I was so comfortable, but then it went downhill, all of a sudden I felt my heartbeating, I tried to ignore it, but I guess once you think of something like that, its always in the back of your mind, I felt my heartbeat go crazy, and then I got horrible sensation in my heart area, like it was filling up, felt cold right in my heart then it felt like I was having a heart attack, as in pulsating and shooting pains, I was riving in pain on my couch, I genuinely thought "this is it, I'm going to die" it was the worst thing I've ever felt, after maybe 10 minutes of this unbearable pain, it went away, I thought it was over, I said ok, I better go lie down, big Mistake.
I walked/stumbled from my TV room to my bedroom, I was blind, it was like a headrush, but I literally couldn't see anything it was like being blind, but all I could see was like bright light, it was horrible, I lay down in bed, thinking I was dieing, I was like, I'm going to be like this forever, dizzy and my heart beating irregularly, I'm not going to get out of this, then I thought I was going to be sent to the looney bin, as no one would believe me, I lay down in bed, other strange things happened, I can't really remember then.
But then, the heart pains came back, just as long and as bad as the first time, I thought, I was actually dieing, couldn't get up to call a loved one, as was in too much pain, eventually it subsided, then I heard things like doors slamming, cars and vans driving past my windows, doors being knocked on etc, all at one, getting really really, deafeningly loud, it was weird I knew it was all the noises ever heard in the flat just played at the same time if you get me? I heard other noises as well, but can't remember them.
Then I tried to get to sleep, but the whole time, I was thinking this was a game, my mind was playing with itself, I thought someone maybe dipped the weed in LSD or something (but I don't think so now, as I didn't hallucinate, and its not economically viable for any dealer to dip their stuff in LSD) so anyways, I was thinking it was a game, I also thought if I went to sleep I would go into a coma and die, I was fighting for my life as such, it was so real and surreal at the same time, it truly was the worst experience of my life.
Throughout the course of my "trip" I had the heart pains, and weird noises thing again, and then eventually it wears off, still felt weird, paranoid and horrible, I sat up in my bed, to get some air or something, and said, OK I will watch some stuff on my laptop, I did, then my buzzer rang, I kinda freaked out, I thought it was my landlord, so I was like ohh c**p, but answered it anyways, it was my flatmate who was returning from a holiday, it was such a relief to see him, we went back into the sitting room chatted a bit more, then I went back to my bed to watch stuff on my laptop. I started getting better from there, I had a headache though, I watched a couple more hours of stuff on my laptop til my other flatmate came home, we had a beer (which calmed me down a bit) and watched TV, and went to bed.
I woke up this morning with a blinding headache, still here, I think my heart's still beating fast, but I dunno, I could be still a bit paranoid, but it was definitely beating a million miles an hour the whole of yesterday.
Should I see a dr? - I've had a new outlook on life since this happening to me, I want to do more things with my family (we live in diff countries) and just love my gf and friends more, you know? - I want to start eating healthily as well...
What should I do, can anyone advise?
TL;DR version:
smoked a doob, got high, got paranoid ( i guess ) thought I was having a heart attack, worst thing ive ever experienced, what should I do?

View 5 RepliesENT :: Headphones High Volume Causes Ear Damage
I was listening to music earlier from my desktop computer and when the song changed the volume was suddenly at maximum and for 2 seconds my ears were exposed to extremely loud electric guitar and a high pitched noise and quite a bit of distortion, the headphones are quite powerful. I'm not someone who has music blasting at a high volume often.
Could something like this have caused instant damage to my hearing or anything else?
When I was a kid someone screamed into one of my ears through a loudspeaker and I remember it felt like my ear was clogged afterwards but eventually went back to normal after a day.
This though didn't leave me with a ringing sensation or any change in my level of normal hearing but the top of my head has felt slightly tingly afterwards.
For example it's currently raining lightly and I can hear it fine and I can hear the radio like normal. If I very gently tap my fingernails together I can hear it fine in both ears. But would I notice the damage instantly or would it be noticed over time?
Barrett's :: Damage To Duodenum And Oesophagus
I was wondering if anyone can shed any light for me I had an endoscopy on Monday just gone where biopsies were taken so I understand I need to wait for those , my doctor stated I have severe damage to my oesophagus and mild damage to my duodenum bulb and said he will tell me more when biopsy results are back. However being very curious I've obviously read his findings in the pack he sent away with me, the bit I need help understanding is in the diagnosis it states Barrett's oesophagus fold starts at 36 cm c5m3.

Hi, my name is Amy. My husband and I are new parents of a beautiful 4 month old. My husband has been diagnosed with hbp and I can't seem to find answers to my questions. He is now on meds to bring down his number (started out as 170/134). Okay so 1) as long as his pressure stays in normal range or close to it, is there any damage done to his body? 2) could there be damage from when we didn't know he had a problem? 3) is there hope to get off bp medication? 4) will the meds stop working after a while? He is a slender guy and doesn't smoke or drink ( well maybe 2 per week).
