My son has recently been diagnosed with WPW and is having a really tough time with recurrent episodes of SVT coupled with a resistance to 1st line drug Adenosine.

He has been in hospital for a week receiving Flecainite and propranolol but still has episodes. Cardio Doctor says he has never had a patient with such resistance and has consulted an electrophysiologist and they both agree on the current treatment as it converts to sinus rhythym everytime.

But it is not a cure and when we tried this as an outpatient my son vomited and experienced an 18hr SVT at 240pbm while we tried to administer the dosages. Hence he is back in hospital now.

My question is : Where can i find a hospital that specializes in heart ablation for infants. In Singapore presently but they dont have the facilities for infants. I'm Australian and would prefer there but cannot locate such an offering. Will look harder on google etc but thought I would try this as an added iron in the fire. HELP

I just had a physical for work and my alt level showed as being in the high range (74) The norm range on the paperwork was 21-72 so i am not extremely high. The Dr cleared me for work (I am a firefighter) and did not recommend anything on the paperwork for the level. Should I be concerned? I see on the web that the normal high range for alt is 40 but my paperworks shows a normal range of 21-72 - I drink on rare ocassions and I do have a few extra pounds on (37 years old also)

Please help. I'm a 14 y.o. boy in NYC who has all of his adult teeth in. Sometimes I don't brush my teeth in the morning or at night, and those days I simply don't brush. Now my teeth are loose and I'm afraid that they're going to fall out! This can't be happening! Brushing my teeth now won't help, so what will? Is there any way I can stop them from falling out? Or will routine brushing every day keep them from falling out? They're ALREADY LOOSE AND I'M ONLY 14! Please help me. They can't fall out already!

HELP!

My husband works second shift, I work first. I have two young boys, one of six and a half and the other is two and a half. I always get soooo nervous when my husband and I are going to live by ourselves because that means that I will have to stay by myself in the evenings with my two boys.We are moving to an apartment next week and were currently living with my Mother and Father. I suffered through "Post Partum Depression/Anxiety" a couple of years ago, but I do not take any medication anymore, because I realized that that was just not me and I had to appreciate life more and appreciate what I had.I get so freak'n mad at myself when I get nervouse and scared, I mean, I think, "I have God with me in my thoughts and heart, why am I scared?" I practically would have to stay alone from like 6:00pm-1:00am when my husband gets home.All I do now is just think about that, and it makes me sick.I just think that I will never overcome this feeling that I have and my husband cant always understand

Drinking really hot cocoa I got distracted and took a mouth-full, I spit it out and sucked on an ice cube, which was also painful, and now its become a nagging pain, with numbness.

What should/can I do to reduce the serverity of the injury?

What could the possible extend of the damage be? And if so, could it be permanent?

I have been told I have this. I have looked up medical and alternative treatments. I take B6 and Glucosamine and have changed my diet to what has been recomended. What is really bothering me is the reaction of other people. Whenever I tell people it is what I have they are very concerned and sympathetic. I just thought the condition was something I had to get on with, and is, but the way everyone is reacting makes me feel that I am unaware of some sort of impending doom. Can someone who has suffered from this tell me what I am to expect for the future. I would rather know.

At times the bottom underside of my nose feels tingly. Mostly if I rub my finger across it. Now today, I feel a numbness to the left side of my nose under my eye. I guess where my sinus is. Thanks for any replys.

when i woke up this morning only my right eye was crusty and gooey and my eye ball is pretty red ( not alot though). the thing is that this has happened before, last year at almost around the same time (last time was mid january). also, i think a little bit after i kinda broke out in hives but it went away that same night and it wasnt serious, no other symptoms besides an itchy rash. they made me take a blood test to find out if i was allergic to any common allergens as well as food allergens and nothing was found. i dont have hives right now, only the eye part but what can this be? ill add more details if needed.

oh and ive also been putting on eye makeup a little more this week and i would problably think it was that but since this has happend before i dont know.

thanks!
