Firstly, I am NOT a doctor --\n\nBased on what I have read, though, I would definitely (and immediately) see a doctor, because there is always a possibility of this being a sign of a larger problem.\n\nGet to feeling better! :)

It is ok unless your doctor tells you not to.  Certain positions shouldn't be practiced also.  When getting close to due date, some believe prostaglandins in semen can stimulate labor.

Hi, I've had PVCs for many years and they come and go.  At first, I was scared to death and thought that something was seriously wrong with my heart.  After visiting the cardiologist and having a bunch of tests, I learned that my PVCs are totally harmless and most likely the result of stress.  I'm not a doctor, but I've had PVCs off and on for over 10 years and I can tell you that in the absence of other symptoms they're considered totally harmless.  Mine tend to come at night, right around bedtime, if at all.  Like you, I take vitamins (including all the ones you mentioned).  I would suggest you try taking some Magnesium, that seems to have helped me a great deal.  The other thing that helps is exercise -- cardio, and lots of it.  Oh, and by the way -- everyone gets skipped heartbeats, but not everyone notices them.  I think you can relax about your PVCs.  Mention them to your doctor at your next regular checkup, or if they return and suddenly get worse then by all means make that appointment sooner rather than later.  However, your PVCs are most likely just a nuisance.

Stop taking that drug immediately until you are able to consult with a doctor.  Statin drugs have a rare, but life threatening side effect that has those as initial symptoms (muscle cramping etc.)

You should see a regular family doctor.  They will prescribe propecia to you.  For instance, when you go in for an anual physical or whatever, just bring up your concern.  My friend just got on Propecia that way.

Soak in a hot bathtub then lay down afterwards with a heating pad.  Also try taking Midol or some other form of pain reliever.  If you have bad cramps every month, I would suggest speaking with your physician and perhaps asking for a prescription for Anaprox which is like a prescription Midol.

Yes, see a doctor and let them know how often it happens (keep a journal) and ask for a 24hr halter monitor.  I had similar incidents, and my old Dr. didn't do squat...said it was my smoking.  I switched dr's, she suggested the monitor, they saw something, did further tests and i found out I have a defective heart valve, from birth.  Not to scare you...I'm fine now...no meds, no surgery.  But have it checked out.

This is the purpose of this medication.  YOu obviously have a tachy (fast) arrhythmia, likely atrial fibrilation.  If this is the case then you need a beta-blocker(like sotalol).  Understand, the goal of your treatment is controlling your heart rate which is what this drug does.  If you are unhappy with this drug in particular talk with your cardiologist about another beta-blocker (but understand the side-effects are the same) OR consider a cardioversion or EP study.  Stop taking these medications can be life-threatning and set you up for increased risk of stroke

This is a difficult question to answer. In Australia, prozac is not recommended for use during pregancy or breast feeding. However, this is because there is a lack of data. Currently there is no information to suggest it has been dangerous for thousands of pregnant women who have taken the drug over the past 15 years during it's time on the market, apart from that in animal models. The women who have used it have shown no adverse effects but there may be some which have not yet been identified. \n\nDiscuss this with your doctor BEFORE stopping your medication. This is a personal choice you need to make. Ensure you are informed. Your doctor may feel it would be best for your health as well as your child's that you stay on the medication. Alternatively, he may also indicate you're doing well and may be safe without it. The best thing to do is not be alarmed by the comments above. Seek professional medical advice before making your decision.\n\nBest of luck!

it doesn't sound good. I say, see your doctor. There may have been some complication after the birth that is just now manifesting itself. Don't wait. You have a child who needs  you to be healthy.

The best thing is to see a doctor. However, I had a very similar experience. My doctor watched me and everything worked it self out. His belief was that recovering from being pregnant giving birth, and starting the pill was a bit of an overload causing confusion for my body. Best wishes to your sister.

Try wearing a hand splint- this is very common in pregnany.  (New mom tendonitis)  If you are not breastfeeding take some otc antiinflamitories like aleve.  If it does not get better go to your regular dr.  Be careful how you are picking up the new baby.  This can be making the problem worse.  Hope you get better soon.

You sound pregnant to me. Go get a home pregnancy test ASAP and then quit smoking as soon as you can (not only is it good for the baby, but it will probably make you feel better). Cut back on caffeine and spicy foods and keep tums handy if you are already getting hearburn. Weight gain so soon is not good though, you don't really want to gain weight for the first few months.
