Jane,
You start by mentioning potassium. As you may have found out in your research, potassium is a mineral (electrolyte) in the body. Almost 98% of potassium is found inside the cells. Small changes in the level of potassium that is present outside the cells can have severe effects on the heart, nerves, and muscles. The normal potassium level is 3.5-5.0 mEq/L. Low potassium is defined as a potassium level below 3.5 mEq/L. The level that you quote is marginally lower than the “normal” and, as your doctor mentioned, not to be too concerned about. It is not likely that the level that you quote would cause any symptoms until it reaches a lower reading. You continue by worrying about cholesterol. If you just listen to the ‘experts’, you would think that cholesterol is an evil substance and that most of us would benefit from lowering our cholesterol as low as possible. But it is not so. Cholesterol is a vitally important substance which is used for building our cell membranes and producing several of our hormones. The natural question arising from this is – Why a natural substance in our blood, with important biological functions, is called “bad” when it is transported from the place of manufacture in the liver to the peripheral tissues by LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein), but is called “good” when it is transported back to the liver, for replenishment or removal, by HDL (High Density Lipoprotein). If our cholesterol level drops too low, we are actually at increased risk for depression and suicide. Low cholesterol levels have been shown to worsen the condition of patients with congestive heart failure. Statin drugs are often prescribed to lower our cholesterol level. These drugs actually inhibit a vital enzyme that manufactures cholesterol in the liver. However the same enzyme is used to manufacture coenzyme Q10, which is a biochemical required to transfer energy from food to our cells. Thus statin drugs inhibit the very important production of coenzyme Q10. It has never been conclusively proved that lowering cholesterol saves lives. Disclaimers from the drug companies about their statin drugs show the side effects are very dangerous. Statins are a class of drugs designed to block the production of cholesterol by the body, with the effect of lowering a patient’s blood cholesterol levels. According to modern medical mythology, the use of these drugs ultimately lowers the patient’s risk for coronary heart disease. These drugs are extremely dangerous. There are huge volumes of reports detailing the horrible and often permanent side effects of taking these drugs. Using the same conventional medical thinking that is being used for cholesterol would lead one to believe that doctors should reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by taking out everybody’s brain. In fact, cholesterol is being transported to tissues as part of an inflammatory response that is occurring there for the purpose of repairing the damage. The fixation on cholesterol as a major cause of heart disease defies the last 15 years of science and deflects from real causes such as the damage (via glycation) that sugars such as glucose and fructose inflict on tissues, including the lining of arteries, causing chronic inflammation and resultant plaque. So it would be wise to stop trying to change cholesterol, studies conclusively prove beyond doubt that cholesterol does not cause heart disease and it will not stop a heart attack. The majority of people who suffer heart attacks have normal cholesterol levels. So, with respect, might I suggest that you try to stop worrying and try to enjoy your life. Research ways to stop panic attacks etc.

If you are feeling side effects from these medications, you should definitely be concerned and discuss the symptoms with your doctor.

If you are talking about in general,no. Hypertension and High Cholesterol are two conditions that can be modified by Lifestyle change. Changing your diet and increasing your exercise.

I am on both medications. I was having extreme muscle pains which I finally figured out was from the Cholesterol medication.

I think that people should take the least amount of medication as possible. But, that is my opinion.

Kids on Meds (Hardcover) $24.91 Arguments abound about whether psychiatric medicines are over- or underprescribed, even as their use in childhood and adolescence has become commonplace. Knowing how various medicines work, their side effects and doses, will help parents understand their child`s experience. And if you are considering medication for your child, the crucial question is, could it help?This book is an overview of the four groups of medicines most commonly used in child and adolescent psychiatry-for ADHD, depression and anxiety, psychosis, and mood disorders. It discusses not only the drugs but also how they work in the body, as well as the culture of today`s medical practice. Kevin T. Kalikow offers measured advice on how to evaluate and treat young people with medicine and how to decide if medicine isn`t the right course of action. It is essential reading for anyone who needs to wade through the complicated-and often contradictory-medical information about kids and drugs.

You need to try to convince your parents to keep you on if they have it through work. Even if you have to pay them, it is worth it. I understand where you are coming from. Know that if you can’t get it through your parents, you will probably need to try to get on medicaid or a similar state program. Do not even waste your time applying for private health insurance. There is no way they will take you.

Best of luck to you.

Health Insurance Handbook (Paperback) $20.89 Many countries that subscribe to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have committed to ensuring access to basic health services for their citizens. Health insurance has been considered and promoted as the major financing mechanism to improve access to health services, as well to provide financial risk protection. In Africa, several countries have already spent scarce time, money, and effort on health insurance initiatives. Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Tanzania are just a few of them. However, many of these schemes, both public and private, cover only a small proportion of the population, with the poor less likely to be covered. In fact, unless carefully designed to be pro-poor, health insurance can widen inequity as higher income groups are more likely to be insured and use health care services, taking advantage of their insurance coverage. Despite the many benefits that health insurance may offer, table 1.1 shows that the journey to implement insurance and achieve the benefits is challenging, long, and risky. Policy makers and technicians that support development and scale-up of health insurance must figure out how to increase their country``s financing capacity, extend health insurance coverage to the hard-to-reach populations, expand benefits packages, and improve the performance of existing schemes.

The New Health Insurance Solution can help you cut your health insurance costs in half if: You`re self-employed, an independent contractor, or your employer doesn`t provide health insurance (you can probably get coverage on your own for about $94/month—a fraction of what an employer would have to pay for the same coverage) You are employed and pay extra to cover your spouse or children under your employer-sponsored plan—you may save 50% by taking them off your employer plan You own a small business and are getting killed by double-digit premium increases—you can now give employees tax-free money to buy their own plans and get your company out of the health insurance business The book also explains in detail the best solutions for you if: You can`t find affordable health insurance because you or a child have an expensive preexisting medical problem (your state has a program to provide you with guaranteed coverage ) You`re currently putting money into an IRA or a 401(k)—because you don`t realize that an HSA is always a better option You`re unsure how you or your parents will be able to afford health insurance during retirement, or how to maximize benefits from Medicare—including the new Part D prescription drug plan The New Health Insurance Solution is the definitive guide to the new ways every American can now get affordable health care—without an employer.

Infertility.
Weight Gain.
Abnormal hair growth, especially on the face and trunk.
Deepening of the voice.
Other masculine characteristics.
Acne.
Male-pattern balding.

Is PCOS dangerous?
There are some indications that PCOS can increase the risk of certain cancers. If you do not have periods, the endometrial layer of the uterus builds up. This is a situation that increases the risk of endometrial cancer.

What will the doctor do?
Once diagnosis has been established, the doctor is likely to prescribe hormones to restore normal ovarian function and periods. Fertility drugs may also be prescribed. Surgery may be recommended if this approach does not work.

Sleep Apnea $359.45

Rhinologic and Sleep Apnea Surgical Techniques $336.9 As technology advances, practicing or training otolaryngologists register in educational courses to refresh their surgical skills and stay abreast of these changes. While information is becoming available in several journals, there is a definite need for a single surgical atlas-like book that contains precise descriptions of the surgical techniques used in rhinology and sleep apnea surgery. Each chapter was written by surgeons with extensive experience in each topic who have already published on the specific procedure described. Each chapter contains diagrammatic or illustrative descriptions of surgical techniques and provides tips and pearls of wisdom to avoid complications when the procedures are performed. This comprehensive work of surgical information serves as a valuable resource for otolaryngologists in training to augment their surgical education and for practicing otolaryngologists as a review source to best approach the surgical pathologies they encounter in their practice of rhinology and treatment of sleep apnea.

your blood pressure goes up when you exercise b/c your heart beats faster, forcing more blood into your arteries. this is a compensatory mechanism to counteract the fact that your muscles need more blood to supply themselves with oxygen. exercising, needing more oxygen, pumping more blood, increasing your blood pressure during exercise all result in more arteries developing around your heart. these are called coronary arteries. anywho, the more you have, the less damage is done if you ever have a heart attack. exercising is VERY good for you. within 15 – 30 minutes of exercising, your blood pressure will fall again. this is because everything is working the way it is supposed to.

having high blood pressure, aside from exercising, is a pathologic condition. this is not the same thing as the raised blood pressure during exercise. many factors (stress, nicotine, alcohol, high blood fat content, sedentary lifestyle, poorly controlled blood sugars, etc.) contribute to increase blood pressure. it is a multifactorial situation when youre talking about pathologic raised blood pressure. and blood pressure isnt in itself harmful unless it goes really really high, like 200/110 or so. this could never happen during routine exercise.
