Question: what would cause elevated liver low potassium low blood preassure and blocked artery? . my aunt is admitted to the hospital and has elevated liver enzymes low potassium low blood pressure and is now looking yellow. she also is being told she has a blocked artery that is causing loss of feeling in the left arm and faint pulse and blood pressure. she is not being told anything until tomorrow am. i am out of state and feel as though i am not being told everything. any suggestions as to what this could be?
Answer: it is very distressing to have a hospitalized family and not know what is going on. i hope that my response gives you some relief. without knowing your aunt's age or medical history and having only some basis symptoms to consider it is difficult to nail-down any specific disorder. but i will try to give you three common possibilities as follows: pancreatitis - inflammation of the pancreas usually due to digestive enzyme interference where digestion is activated in the pancreas instead of the intestine. although you did not mention abdominal or back pain it is a hallmark symptom of pancreatitis. excessive alcohol consumption is the root cause for the majority of pancreatitis cases. viral hepatitis - inflammation of the liver due to a viral infection. viral hepatitis may be acute with a sudden onset or chronic symptoms occurring over time. it comes in a b c d & e types. obstructive jaundice - may be caused by blocked bile ducts and is seen in some liver disorders. i hope that your aunt becomes well soon and that you gain clear and accurate information quickly.

Question: what causes low blood pressure?
Answer: the cause of low blood pressure isn't always clear. it may be associated with the following: pregnancy hormonal problems such as an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) diabetes or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) some over-the-counter medications some prescription medicines such as for high blood pressure depression or parkinson’s disease heart failure heart arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) widening or dilation of the blood vessels heat exhaustion or heat stroke liver disease sudden drops in blood pressure can be life-threatening. causes of this type of hypotension include: loss of blood from bleeding low body temperature high body temperature heart muscle disease causing heart failure sepsis a severe blood infection severe dehydration from vomiting diarrhea or fever a reaction to medication or alcohol a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis postural hypotension which is low blood pressure when standing up suddenly can happen to anyone for a variety of reasons such as dehydration lack of food or being overly fatigued. it can also be influenced by genetic make-up aging medication dietary and psychological factors and acute triggers such as infection and allergy. postural hypotension occurs most frequently in people who are taking drugs to control high blood pressure (hypertension). it can also be related to pregnancy strong emotions hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) or diabetes. the elderly are particularly affected especially those who have high blood pressure or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. hypotension after meals is a common cause of dizziness and falls after eating. this is most common after large meals containing a lot of carbohydrates. it’s believed to be caused by blood pooling into the vessels of the stomach and intestines. several drugs are commonly associated with postural hypotension. these medications can be divided into two major categories: drugs used to treat high blood pressure such as diuretics beta-blockers calcium-channel blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) inhibitors drugs that have hypotension as a side effect including nitrates drugs for parkinson's disease antipsychotics neuroleptics anti-anxiety agents sedative-hypnotics and tricyclic antidepressants common causes of naturally occurring postural hypotension include: dehydration and electrolyte loss which may result from diarrhea vomiting excessive blood loss during menstruation or other conditions age-associated decline in blood pressure regulation which may be worsened by certain health conditions or medications certain diseases can also cause postural hypotension. these include: central nervous system disorders such as shy-drager syndrome or multiple system atrophy nerve problems such as peripheral neuropathy or autonomic neuropathy cardiovascular disorders alcoholism nutritional diseases

Question: what is low blood pressure?
Answer: blood pressure is the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. it constitutes one of the critically important signs of life or vital signs which include heart beat breathing and temperature. blood pressure is generated by the heart pumping blood into the arteries modified by the response of the arteries to the flow of blood. an individual's blood pressure is expressed as systolic/diastolic blood pressure for example 120/80. the systolic blood pressure (the top number) represents the pressure in the arteries as the muscle of the heart contracts and pumps blood into them. the diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) represents the pressure in the arteries as the muscle of the heart relaxes following its contraction. blood pressure always is higher when the heart is pumping (squeezing) than when it is relaxing. the range of systolic blood pressure for most healthy adults falls between 90 and 120 millimeters of mercury (mm hg). normal diastolic blood pressure ranges between 60 and 80 mm hg. current guidelines define normal blood pressure range as lower than 120/80. blood pressures over 130/80 are considered high. high blood pressure increases the risk of developing: heart disease kidney disease hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis) eye damage stroke low blood pressure (hypotension) is pressure so low it causes symptoms or signs due to the low flow of blood through the arteries and veins. when the flow of blood is too low to deliver enough oxygen and nutrients to vital organs such as the brain heart and kidney the organs do not function normally and may be temporarily or permanently damaged. unlike high blood pressure low blood pressure is defined primarily by signs and symptoms of low blood flow and not by a specific blood pressure number. some individuals routinely may have blood pressures of 90/50 with no symptoms and therefore do not have low blood pressure. however others who normally have higher blood pressures may develop symptoms of low blood pressure if their blood pressure drops to 100/60.

Question: what are low blood pressure signs and symptoms?
Answer: when blood pressure is not sufficient to deliver enough blood to the organs of the body the organs do not work properly and can be temporarily or permanently damaged. for example if insufficient blood flows to the brain brain cells do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients and a person can feel lightheaded dizzy or even faint. going from a sitting or lying position to a standing position often brings out symptoms of low blood pressure. this occurs because standing causes blood to "settle" in the veins of the lower body and this can lower the blood pressure. if the blood pressure is already low standing can make the low pressure worse to the point of causing symptoms. the development of lightheadedness dizziness or fainting upon standing caused by low blood pressure is called orthostatic hypotension. normal individuals are able to compensate rapidly for the low pressure created by standing with the responses discussed previously and do not develop orthostatic hypotension. when there is insufficient blood pressure to deliver blood to the coronary arteries (the arteries that supply blood to the heart's muscle) a person may develop chest pain (a symptom of angina) or even a heart attack. when insufficient blood is delivered to the kidneys the kidneys fail to eliminate wastes from the body for example urea (bun) and creatinine and increases in their levels in the blood occur. shock is a life-threatening condition where persistently low blood pressure causes organs such as kidney(s) liver heart lung and brain to fail rapidly.

Question: what are the risk factors for orthostatic hypotension?
Answer: orthostatic hypotension most often occurs in the elderly. "hardening of the arteries" or atherosclerosis that develops as we age makes it more difficult for blood vessels to adapt quickly when necessary. as well many of the diseases that are associated with orthostatic hypotension are progressive with symptoms worsening with age. pregnancy is associated with orthostatic hypotension. as the pregnancy progresses the volume of the circulatory system expands and blood pressure tends to fall. this may lead to lightheadedness when standing quickly. blood pressure levels return to normal after delivery. excessive sweating due to physical exertion and exposure to heat are risk factors and potential causees of dehydration and symptoms of orthostatic hypotension. patients who have other risk factors to develop orthostatic hypotension have an increased risk if they become even mildly dehydrated. chronic alcohol use and drug abuse are also risk factors for developing symptoms of orthostatic hypotension.

Question: what are advantages/disadvatages in taking med marijuana. i have chronic daily headaches (chronic headache syndrome) ptsd anxiety/frequent anxiety attacks which lead to twitching and convulsions depression migraines convulsions and more. i have been taking zoloft for my depression and i have 4 different therapists/psychologists/psychotherapists which i all frequently see. i don't like taking mainstream medications because i don't like putting harmful chemicals in my body and i don't like the way they make me feel sometimes.
Answer: i believe that marjuana is a great pain reliever if used in moderation very little side effects save giggles. those who suffer liver disease and chronic back pain would be served much better by this drug. i hsve little to no appetite pills are pysically addictive and i would much rather smoke a joint than drink. i can no longer drink i quit drinking before my liver went cirrhotic and while everyone drank in the bar i would smoke out back with other non-drinkers sitting around a bonfire. i lost my urge to drink and drank coffee instead. when i got in trouble for marjuana psession i was forced to do random u/as thus making me quit. so to kill the pain i drank again now i'm sick.

Answer: benefits= relief without the harmful effects to your body. i know that marijuana treats every symptom you just described. however be careful because i had almost the same experience as the previous contributor. got in trouble (they still treat us like criminals) and had to quit. turned to drinking. now my liver is failing even though i quit 6 months ago and went back to weed. but now i have a warrant for my arrest because i quit taking my u/a's. to me it came down to follow the courts orders or live. i chose life.

Question: what is the treatment for moderate to severe migraine headaches?
Answer: migraine-specific medications usually are necessary for moderate-to-severe migraine headaches. the medications for moderate or severe migraine headaches are different than over-the-counter (otc) analgesics. instead of relieving pain they stop headaches by counteracting the cause of the headache dilation of the temporal arteries. in fact they cause narrowing of the arteries. examples of migraine-specific medications are the triptans and ergot preparations. triptans the triptans attach to serotonin receptors on the blood vessels and nerves thereby reducing inflammation and constricting the blood vessels. this stops the headache. the triptan with the longest history of use is sumatriptan (imitrex). sumatriptan is available in the u. s. as an injection oral tablet and nasal spray. zolmitriptan (zomig) and rizatriptan (maxalt) are newer triptans that are available as oral tablets and as tablets that melt in the mouth. naratriptan (amerge) almotriptan (axert) and frovatriptan (frovalan) are available only as oral tablets. traditionally triptans were prescribed for moderate or severe migraines after otc analgesics and other simple measures failed. newer studies suggest that triptans can be used as the first treatment for patients with migraines that are causing disability. (significant disability is defined as more than 10 days of at least 50% disability during a three-month period). triptans should be used early after the migraine begins before the onset of pain or when the pain is mild. using a triptan early in an attack increases its effectiveness reduces side effects and decreases the chance of recurrence of another headache during the following 24 hours. used early triptans can be expected to abort more than 80% of migraine headaches within two hours. ergots ergots like triptans are medications that abort migraine headaches. examples of ergots include ergotamine preparations (ergomar wigraine and cafergot) and dihydroergotamine preparations (migranal dhe-45). ergots like triptans cause constriction of blood vessels but ergots tend to cause more constriction of vessels in the heart and other parts of the body than the triptans and their effects on the heart are more prolonged than the triptans. therefore they are not as safe as the triptans. the ergots also are more prone to cause nausea and vomiting than the triptans. the ergots can cause prolonged contraction of the uterus and miscarriages in pregnant women. midrin midrin is used to abort migraine and tension headaches. it is a combination of isometheptene (a blood vessel constrictor) acetaminophen (a pain reliever) and dichloralphenazone (a mild sedative). it is most effective if used early during a headache; however because of its potent blood vessel constricting effect it should not be used in patients with high blood pressure kidney disease glaucoma atherosclerosis liver disease or who are taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors.

Question: what can cause nausea and vomiting?
Answer: nausea and vomiting occur for many reasons. common causes include motion sickness self-limited illnesses (viruses or food poisoning) that last a few hours to a few days and toxins (such as certain medications). people should consult a doctor if nausea and/or vomiting are persistent or are accompanied by other severe symptoms such as abdominal pain fever yellow discoloration of the skin (jaundice) or bleeding. individuals with severe or ongoing vomiting who have other serious medical problems are elderly are very young or are pregnant or nursing infants should also seek medical attention. motion sickness may occur in many settings including travel by car air or boat. this may be the best setting for the use of over-the-counter medications for nausea and vomiting. other inner-ear problems that are related to motion sickness can create a feeling of nausea as well. viral infections can cause nausea and vomiting which is sometimes associated with diarrhea. often an "outbreak" can be identified with several cases occurring in the same household. food poisoning from either bacteria or viruses can cause similar symptoms. in both situations the illnesses generally run their course over a period of several days and resolve without treatment. medications can cause nausea or vomiting and should be suspected when the symptoms appear within a short time after starting a new medication. notify your prescribing doctor if this happens. nausea and vomiting are not diseases but symptoms that can be caused by many conditions. several other less common reasons for nausea and vomiting are: early stages of pregnancy. (nausea occurs in approximately 50% to 90% of all pregnancies; vomiting in 25% to 55%. ) painful injury. postoperative (the period following surgery). an emotional or fearful situation. gallbladder disease gallstones or infection (cholecystitis). overeating (especially after gastric bypass surgery). a reaction to certain smells or odors. heart attack (may be the only symptom in some people). concussion or head injury. brain tumor. ulcers or gastritis. bulimia or other psychological illnesses. gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying often seen in people with diabetes).

Question: can a man be given a depro provera shot?
Answer: i don't think that would be a good idea. depo-provera is a birth control method that is delivered as an injection. the injection contains a hormone similar to progesterone -- a female hormone. the depo-provera injection prevents pregnancy for about 12 weeks. a man would not want to get an injection of a female hormone. it would not be an effective form of birth control and would cause some unpleasant side effects. currently there is no hormonal birth control method available for men. wishing you well!
