penicillin and heart rate?

increase in heart rate is from the illness not the penicillin. make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids and resting.

Sinus bradycardia can be defined as a sinus rhythm with a resting heart rate of 60 beats/minute or less. However, few patients actually become symptomatic until their heart rate drops to less than 50 beats/minute. The action potential responsible for this rhythm arises from the sinus node and causes a P wave on the surface ECG that is normal in terms of both amplitude and vector. These P waves are typically followed by a normal QRS complex and T wave.

200 minus your age, for male. And 180 minus your age for female. That should give you the max heart rate for any age.\nFor instance: you are male, 30, and your MHR should be \n200 - 30 = 170 bpm.\nIf you are a female, 30, your MHR should be\n180 - 30 = 150 bpm.\n\nSo, 9 months in a row eh...? You should have feel the benefit for now. Congrats! Go on, make it a lifetime habit.

It depends on the duration of the "high" pulse. I would be concerned if you for example had a pulse rate of 130 or above for several hours.\n\nOn the other hand 130 pulse rate during strenuous exercise for short periods of time would not be a cause for concern unless there were other symptoms involved such as an irregular heartbeat.\n\nYour Doctor is your best source of information.

thats what would happen in a healthy individual because of peripheral vasodilatation.\n\nin sick people the vessels arent as elastic so the heart rate goes up, and the vessels calibre stays the same so their pressure goes up.

The heart beats very fast.\nThere can be other factors - 'allergic' reactions where the body has just had too much of a drug.

Get yourself into your doctor NOW!\n\nYou never know how long it takes to become allergic to medications.  I have taken penicillin for years, no problem.  Then I had a reaction that is not normal and is rare.  I thought it was something else entirely.  \n\nReport all changes to your Doctor no matter when they occur.  Sometimes it takes a while for your body to become sensitive or allergic to a medication, that is IF you have a reaction.\n\nThe reaction can occur over years and sometimes it will take 20 minutes to an hour if taken by mouth.  30 seconds to a couple of minutes if injected.\n\nCheck it out! NOW

the human heart is capable of very low heart rates to very high rates. physiologically each heart beat is completed in 0.8seconds, thus the number of heart beat per minute is 60 divided by 0.8= 75 beats per minute. the physiological phenomenon are always given a range value rather than a precise number since every individual is different. hence heart rate ranges from 60-90 beats per minute which can also be as low as 40 for athletes due to vagal tone.

There is no difference.Penicillin is a antibiotic.Actually it is one of the best ones we have.It is very affective in clearing up strep throat.( I saw your other question too,So I thought I might answer both here)But if you had strep throat for a week or so ago,Before you went on a antibiotic.You might want to go to your doctors and maybe make sure it is gone,Because it will come back if it is not fully killed.You don't want to let that to happen,Because strep throat can cause heart problems.Better to be safe than sorry! Good Luck and I hope you get feeling better soon!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY\n\nSafety of Long Term Penicillin and Penicillin Derivatives\n\nThe safety of penicillin and penicillin derivatives when administered either intramuscularly, intravenously, or orally for extended periods of time (beyond the usual duration of use) can be extrapolated from multiple published studies. A review of the medical literature reveals studies in which such drugs have been used therapeutically for extended treatment durations. This includes studies of the treatment of recurrent acute otitis media, endocarditis, salmonella infections, prophylaxis of at risk populations (asplenic children, young children with sickle cell disease, patients with prior rheumatic fever), and the long term treatment of certain types of Lyme disease. Although most of these studies focus primarily on efficacy, they do routinely contain general statements indicating the safety and tolerability of the treatment under study. A few studies mentioned the presence of isolated cases of rash, gastrointestinal events, but none of the studies report the occurrence of a serious adverse event.\n\nA review of the Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) database as performed by an Office of Post-Marketing Drug Risk Assessment (OPDRA) special programmer revealed occasional cases of adverse events associated with the administration of long term penicillin therapy, however, these adverse events were consistent with the known adverse event profile of penicillin. OPDRA concluded that "no increase in or atypical adverse drug reactions were noted in the few cases involving long-term administration of oral or intramuscular penicillin G or V (all dosage forms)." This data is generated via isolated adverse event reports submitted to the FDA, and it may be difficult to determine the overall rates of adverse events in relation to treatment duration. A similar analysis is currently being performed by OPDRA for amoxicillin and Augmentin®.\n\nThere is a higher incidence of cholestatic or mixed cholestatic-hepatocellular patterns of liver injury associated with administration of Augmentin®. This has been demonstrated by several published case reports. 8, 12, 14, 17, 20, 22, 24, 27, 28 Fatalities are very rare (on the order of one in several million) and similar hepatotoxicity is not thought to occur with amoxicillin administration. A study by Garcia-Rodriguez identified specific sub-populations who might be at increased risk for hepatotoxicity.10 These groups include older patients, and patients on long term therapy. The overall risk is still very low but was noted to be significantly higher than for the comparison group receiving amoxicillin. The information from this study was submitted in a labeling supplement and resulted in the identification of these risk groups in the label.\n\nThese antibiotics have an extensive history of use, and the lack of any serious adverse events as reported in these studies support their reputation as safe drugs. Reassurance can be derived from the fact that no increase in serious adverse events has been reported in the literature despite broad usage. Clinicians should still be aware that, although quite unlikely, when using these drugs over extended period of time, the potential exists for slight increases in the rates of specific adverse events which are infrequent enough to have escaped detection. Although there is no data to suggest such an increase (except for Augmentin® and hepatotoxicity), adverse events could include increased liver function tests, serum sickness, interstitial nephritis, effects on anti-coagulant therapy, and neutropenia. \n\nDETAILED REVIEW OF DATAc. Amoxicillin (n= 627)\n\nNine studies were identified which examined long term amoxicillin prophylaxis (4 weeks - 6 months) in children with recurrent acute otitis media. 29-37 There were 488 patients who were treated with doses ranging from 20-40 mg/kg/day of amoxicillin. In total, there were 11 adverse event reported. Four patients were report

The penicillins are beta lectam antibiotics.  They work by preventing bacteria from producing cell walls by blocking the transpeptidation reaction. The reaction cross links glycan linked peptide chains, and without these, the cell wall is no longer stong enough. Also they stimulate the release of bacterial enzymes called autolysins which degrade the cell wall.\n\nPenicillins act on gram positive bacteria, and some modern synthetic penicillins are able to penetrate the capsule and act on gram negative.\n\nTaking this into account, i would say thats as a group they are broad spectrum because they act on most gram positive indescrimenantly and some gram negative. However, individually, some in the group may be considered narrow because they only act on a small group.\n\nI hope that helps

Yeah, basically it is treated with Penicillin at 250 mg 3 times a day of Keflex at 250 mg 3 times a day.  In other words antibiotics.

The discovery of penicillin has often been described as a miracle drug, and that is exactly what it was. Prior to the discovery of penicillin, death could occur in what would seem, today, to be very trivial injuries and diseases. It could occur from minor wounds that became infected or from diseases such as Strep Throat, and venereal diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea were a much more serious issue.

1. Heart rate between 60-100 Beats Per Minute \n2. Blood sugar levels between 60 and 100\n3.Weight that is proportianate to their height\n4.Their stomach area is toned and in shape(if not, that is an indicator for those big and small that they are at risk for certain kinds of diseases related to the heart)\n5.They are physically active most of the time, whether it's at the gym, or just outside walking or jogging with friends, these people are no couch potatoes! \nHope that helps, I'll pray that you get an A!

Wow! That could be complicated....see: http://www.icsroscher.de/HeartScope.htm\nYet, an experiment using "cheap and cheerful" technology is described on http://www.picotech.com/experiments/calculating_heart_rate/\nwhich makes use of a (relatively) low cost data logger http://www.drdaq.com/products.html\nwhich plugs directly into the parallel port of your PC, see  http://www.picotech.com/applications/ecg.html\nHope this helps....

Yeah, increases heart rate, pulse, blood pressure. Not a reason to start, though.

It's the complete opposite. The stronger the heart the lower your BP and resting heart rate should be. When I used to run 30+ miles a week, my resting heart rate would be around 46 and the BP would be 115/70... You sound like you are doing the things that you need to do. Have you minimized salts from your diet as well?
