What symptoms are mostly associated with post pulminary vein ablation?
923671
I would expect the pre ablation symptoms to take longer than this to resolve, I am hoping that your doctor will be seeing you back in the next few weeks too, just call his/her office and ask if you should get some rehab as they do after bypass surgery etc. good luck

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx

Often there are no symptoms in the early stages of ovarian cancer. In many cases, the cancer has spread to other organs when it is detected. The cancer may grow for some time before it causes pressure, pain, or other problems. Even when symptoms appear, they may be so vague that they are ignored.\n\nSome of the symptoms are:\n\n    * swelling in the lower abdomen,\n    * fluid around the lungs and\n    * shortness of breath.

I think you feel a vein, artery would be a pulsating structure, suture can not be felt, otherwise just see a local doctor, good luck

vze2wy4t RN, I believe you are thinking of venous disease (as in varicose veins) when you suggest elevating the limb. Although walking, and smoking cessation are the first steps. Support hose are to help improve VENOUS return.\n\nIn lower extremity arterial occlusive disease the dependent position (ie feet down) aids in circulation to the smaller blood vessels in the feet and lower extremeties. Many patients who complain of pain at rest, have a history of having worse pain at night while in bed sleeping, with relief from "dangling their feet from the side of the bed". \n\nBefore you decide to do anything, see your physician if you have not already done so. There are other disease proceses that may mimic peripheral artery occlusive disease. If it is arterial disease he will be able to better answer your questions, after a good examination. If it is warranted, (after more involved tests) referal to a vascular surgeon might be necessary. Good luck.\n\nhttp://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4692

(m)\n\nSymptoms During Supraventricular Tachycardia\n\n\nPalpitations \n\nLightheadedness \n\nDizziness \n\nLoss of consciousness \n\nChest pain \n\nShortness of breath \n\nTypically, patients have symptoms from SVT, but occasionally they may have no symptoms. A common symptom during SVT is palpitations or a sensation that the heart is beating rapidly, fluttering, or racing. This may last for a few seconds or several hours. Occasionally, patients may have a sensation of shortness of breath or "air-hunger," or chest pressure or pain. Sometimes patients will feel lightheaded or dizzy, and rarely patients will feel like they are about to pass out. Loss of consciousness (also known as syncope) during SVT is a rare occurrence. Although such symptoms may raise concern, in general, SVT is not a serious or life-threatening condition. Nonetheless, if any of these symptoms develops, immediate medical attention should be sought. \n\ngothrouh the following website for Supra Ventricular Tachycardia

Vericose veins are a result of your symptoms.  In my opinion it would be hard to find an insurance company that would pay for their removal because it is mainly cosmetic.  You should have your syptoms checked out by a doctor.  I have read many things about having tired and heavy legs and it can in a lot of cases be something pretty serious.  Before you worry about the vein problem please get the symptoms checked out to rule out something potentially hazardous.  Once you have cleared that check up then ask your doctor if he or she has any recommendations for taking care of the veins.  They may be able to refer you to someone.

Also known as SVTs, it describes a very rapid heart rate. It would be helpful to know the underlying rhythm (ie: atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, etc...) If you find out, post this question again. It would be helpful to know a few other things about you, so I'll have to give a broad answer. The heart is unique tissue that beats when it receives electrical impulses (you may have seen actors who pose as "dead patients" on t.v. get "shocked" in the ER with electricity to help their hearts beat again). With SVTs, a part of your heart gets "excited" and starts to shoot off it's own electrical impulses, which can cause the heart to beat out of rhythm, and very fast. You should see a cardiologist and have a few tests such as a 12-Lead EKG, 2d echo, holter monitor, blood & thyroid tests, and possibly a stress test. Many young females get SVTs, which is usually harmless and do not cause any longterm problems. These cases can be treated with simple lifestyle modifications that can minimize attacks (such as sleeping better, reducing stress and eliminating caffeine products). Patients can do Valsalva manuevers to stop SVTs. As far as alternative, homeopathic, etc... there are no products that have shown evidence in successfully treating SVTs. If you ever find that your SVTs won't stop, you may get dizzy, get chest pain and your cardiac output will fall and you can pass out. Have someone dip your face/head in a bucket of ice-cold water (the mammalian diving reflex) and call 911. Medications, ablation, cardioversion, etc... are reserved for advanced cases. These patients may be older or have other cardiac issues going on. Or they can get SVTs before or after a heart attack due to changes that occurs in a part of the heart called the "Atrium". I hope I was able to answer some of your questions...

I have not, but am a nurse.  The postoperative pain should be only at the venipuncture site..and should be minimal.  Very short recovery period.  They should watch the patient for chest pain, and will probably do a stress test, to make sure the vessel is open.

The inside walls of veins have valves that open and close in response to the blood flow. When the left ventricle of the heart pushes blood out into the aorta, it produces the high pressure pulse of the heartbeat and pushes blood throughout the body. Between heartbeats, there is a period of low blood pressure. During this period blood in the veins is affected by gravity and wants to flow downward. The valves in the veins prevent this from happening. Varicose veins start when one or more valves fail to close. The blood pressure in that section of vein increases, causing additional valves to fail. This allows blood to pool and stretch the veins, further weakening the walls of the veins. The walls of the affected veins lose their elasticity in response to increased blood pressure.\nAs the vessels weaken, more and more valves are unable to close properly. The veins become larger and wider over time and begin to appear as lumpy, winding chains underneath the skin. Varicosities can also develop in the deep veins.\nThere is no cure for varicose veins. Treatment falls into two classes: relief of symptoms and removal of the affected veins. Symptom relief includes such measures as wearing support stockings, which compress the veins and hold them in place. This pressure keeps the veins from stretching and limits pain. Other measures include sitting down, using a footstool to support the feet when sitting, avoid standing for long periods of time, and raising the legs whenever possible. These measures work by reducing the blood pressure in leg veins. Prolonged standing allows the blood to collect under high pressure in the varicose veins. Exercise such as walking, biking, and swimming, is beneficial. When the legs are active, the leg muscles help pump the blood in the veins. This limits the amount of blood that collects in the varicose veins and reduces some of the symptoms but does not stop the disease.

Have you worked out your hands within the last few hours?  I play keyboard/piano (plus I use a computer all day for a living) and after I have been using my hands like that for a while, the veins in my hands dilate because of the extra blood flow that is necessary to provide the oxygen to the muscles.  If there isn't any other symptom it might be that.  If there are other/unexplainable symptoms, I would talk to a doctor.

You don't mention how long ago that you had the stent placed and when you first noticed the pain (is immediate while you were still in the hospital?).  Also you don't mention if you are having other symptoms - shortness of breath, profound fatigue.  \n\nA few of thoughts.  If this were indeed cardiac you would expect a worsening of symptoms with activity  - why would it hurt at rest and not hurt MORE with activity?  After a stent is deployed people often will complain of "twinges" immediately afterward, usually promoted by moving - quickly passing discomfort in their chest - it is not serious and this will resolve on its own over the next week or so.\n\nSecondly it is not too uncommon that a person develops a reflux problem (esophogeal erosion) in the process of getting the procedure due to having layed on your back with no food for a long time and starting an aspirin daily.  It often is routine that a reflux medication (Protonix, Prilosec) be Rx'd as a precaution for about a month after the procedure.  \n\nThirdly, Plavix can cause stomach upset.\n\nFinally, in-stent restenosis is not entirely unheard of.  Though rare, it can happen and therefore should not be readily dismissed.  If there has been no change in your symptoms (progressive worsening) then call your cardiologist on Monday morning for further advice.  \n\nIf there have been progessive changes, go to your local ED for further evaluation and treatment.  I wished I had a dollar for every time a patient told me their heart attack "didn't hurt that bad."  The intensity of pain is a poor indicator of seriousness and don't take chances with your LAD.    \n\n95% LAD blcokage at age 42 should be a huge wake up call to you.  If you haven't been directed on lifestyle changes, seek the information and consider joining a cardiac rehab for further help.  Good luck and be well my friend.

The following information I have obtained for you. \nIf the blood clot is in an artery, it may cause sudden pain, and selling a a slight blue cloration. However if it is in a vein, it may cause selling and tenderness.\n\nSymptoms and Complication:  Inflammation in superifical or surface veins-such as those used to insert IV lines in the arm or to draw blood-produces pain and discomfort but is isn't considered serious.  blood clots that form in superifical veins rarely break loose and travel in the blood to cause blockage (inplaces such as the lung) and complications.\nCauses: A variety of things can cause inflammation of a superificial vein One common cause is due to to trauma or injury,for example from intravenous (IV) catheters or solution and medications used in hospital that pierce the vein wall and cause irritation.  Any blow to a vein (like a blow or injury from a car accident) will trigger a local inflammatory reaction that leads to pain, discomfort, redness, and swelling. During this process, there's an increase blow of blood to the injured area, and a blood clot often forms in the inflamed or injured area of the vein.\nThis is generalized information for you and maybe it will help you to understand about blood clots.  However my bottom line is that you shoud see your Primary Physician as soon as possble so that he can make Logical decision as what to do for your situation. Best of luck.

Additional history would be helpful such as health conditions and medications he is taking.  If he is a smoker ask him to stop.  There are medications for peripheral circulation but they are of limited effectiveness.  Depending upon the origin of the problem surgery is sometimes curative.  It should be emphasized however that an exercise program for this purpose leads to a significant improvement in function independent of any actual change in circulation.  Finally - I assume that he has undergone testing and that this is not simply an impression but rather a diagnosis.
