Yahoo Answers For Compression Stalkings
Question Does anybody have extremely low blood pressure?
i was diagnosed last year with POTs. which is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. my blood pressure drops to 50/20 when i sit or stand. i did a tilt table test and it confirmed it. i take a beta blocker, midodrine, and a steroid BUT it still does not help that much. i also wear those compression stalkings but they suck lol i also consume a lot of salt but still my symptoms are pretty bad. any suggestions? like natural ways to raise it without drugs? thanks tons! i took lexapro (for anxiety and depression) and it really helped my POTS but i have IBS from POTS so it didnt work out :( the midodrine kinda sucks and if i take it too early in the day by the time the night ends i crash.. and about the beta blocker it really didnt make sence to me either and i started feeling worse with it but my doc said i could have an elarge heart if i didnt take it
Best Answer Interesting one this. Giving fludrocortisone (the steroid) makes sense. Increasing your salt and water intake makes sense. Midodrine makes sense. What makes no sense to me is giving a beta blocker. Even if you do have a fast heart rate during a dizzy spell, at least the blood is being pumped more effectively to the brain than if the heart rate is slow. As a former anaesthetist, who often had to bring blood pressures up after the anaesthetic had dropped them, I have done a lot of thinking about drugs that do this. I suggest you talk to your doctor about drugs normally prescribed for migraine. The ergot derivatives and their descendants have the property of bringing the blood pressure up while slowing the heart. It would be an off-label use, but it would be worth thinking about if they are not otherwise contraindicated for you.

Question My cousin is 12 years old and her feet are swollen?
My cousin's feet have been swollen for the past month and she is only 12 years old! My aunt brought her to the doctor the first day she noticed it. He ran some tests, but couldn't find anything that was wrong with her, so he said to leave it for awhile and see if it gets better, but it hasn't. She is going to get and MRI on Tuesday, but I'm kind of worried. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Best Answer Lower extremity swelling can occur for many reasons. The most common cause is venous stasis, which is just poor drainage of the veins in the lower extremity. This is not serious and is treated with leg elevation and compression stalkings. Swelling could also occur from a blood clot in the vein in the lower extremity, but this would result in swelling in one leg and not both. There are medical conditions that are also associated with lower extremity swelling, such as heart failure, liver failure (cirrhosis), low protein in the blood and some kidney conditions. Heart failure is unlikely at your cousin's age and it would be associated with shortness of breath with activity and when lying flat. Liver failure is also uncommon at your cousin's age and is very unlikely unless she has known liver disease. Low protein in the blood can occur due to malnutrition and some other conditions. It can be tested for with blood tests. A kidney condition called nephrotic syndrome can result in protein loss in the urine, which can lead to swelling in the lower extremities. The most common cause in kids is known as Minimal Change Disease which resolves without treatment in most cases. It can be tested for with urine tests. Most likely your cousin has venous stasis or nephrotic syndrome. The doctors will perform the appropriate tests to determine the cause. MRI is not routinely performed to evaluate this, but there may be more to the story. Good luck to you and your cousin.
