Medicine - February 2007

My mom is a breast cancer survivor of several years. She hasn't been in the best of shape since then and her heart especially. Recently, she did some tests and spent a day with a portable device that measured her heart beats. When she came home from the doctor's office, I was looking at the charts and her heart rate isn't normal. The regular heart beat had distanced pauses in between each beat, but her heart beat chart went up and down without a set interval. Her doctor is looking into the problem, but I was wondering if other professional cardioalogists could give me their opinion on what might be the cause of my mom's abnormal heart rate. She says it gets worse during allergy season. Also, before she has had breif moments where she felt really tired or had a moment where she has had to sit down really quickly from unstability. Is this problem with her heart cancer realted? Could it be genetics? or something else?

I've had previous surgery on my broken ankle and arm and both have a lot of metal hardware in there. Now I am having back trouble and probably need an MRI, but I don't know if I can have one with all that metal in there. Anyone know the limitations of that?

It may be as simple as converting but not sure. Just need to know how to convert mg to mL. since one is a weight and one is volume.

Hi what will Coenzymeq10 do for me? I am interested in protecting my heart, because I have been getting some skipping of beats. However I wouldn't want to take it if there is a side effect. Thanks.

I have seen that some of the medical practitioners, while writing prescriptions for medicines, begin with the letters "Rx". After this letter or symbol, the names of medicines prescribed appear. What is the reason behind this?

if you donate blood to the red cross and you get a letter saying it was accepted... does that mean you have nothing wrong with you like STDS, Aids, cancer, any disease?

I have been prescribed 600mg three times a day of ibuprofen

Before taking this I have not been feeling too great-dizzines to the point of "greying out", great lethargy/fatigue, joint pain, muscle pain (and I think that's all)

So I am not sure if what I am experiencing are side affects of ibuprofen or not: lameness of the muscles, even more fatigue, vertigo, shrap intense pains (like stabs) on the right side (towards my back, right below my ribs), and a bit of fever

Please tell me of more side effects so that I know in the future, my doctor told me keep taking ibuprofen for five days (its the second day today) but if I get any side affets she said to stop taking it (she only metioned nausea, vomiting and stomach pain as side effects)
