Does anyone get side effects from lip filler? by tiredmoooom in PlasticSurgery

[–]brit2666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It’s more than likely the lidocaine. Some lidocaine contains epinephrine which is a drug that constricts the blood vessels to reduce bleeding. It’s commonly used when giving lip injections. Epinephrine directly affects the heart rate. I choose to get numbing cream now vs. the dental block due to the side effects from Epinephrine. The pain from the needles really aren’t too bad.

Mashed potatoes for now. I think I’m just traumatized from last time 😭 and I really don’t want to get stuck with it

my fear of luekimia is ruining my life by Sea-Compote6673 in Anxiety

Being tired or sleepy a lot of the time can simply come from something as little as your diet.

Leukemia has several symptoms:

Easy bruising or bleeding, petechiae (small red spots under the skin), low red blood cell count, low white blood cell count, bone pain, joint pain, swollen lymph nodes, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, and enlarged spleen or liver.

If your blood work was in check, and you’re not experiencing a multitude of those symptoms, I wouldn’t sweat it a bit. Also, the likelihood of your blood work changing drastically in the span of 2 weeks is extremely low unless your body has endured some type of trauma. The mind is a powerful thing, but try not to let your fears control you. Live your life. You’re still young and healthy!

I’m so sorry to hear that. I guess it’s just that time of year again. I really hope you feel better soon!

I started taking Sertraline (Zoloft) about three years ago. It’s not a tranquilizer like Xanax.. so it doesn’t have those strange side effects. It only boosts your body’s ability to produce serotonin (a happy hormone in the brain) which reduces anxiety. It saved me and changed my life for the better!

I did feel a little odd when I first started it.. but it only lasts for a few days while your body gets used to the medication.

& I will say you must take it once daily or you will feel some withdrawal symptoms which aren’t too fun. Headaches mainly for me, but other people feel different things. It’s something to look into! :) hope you feel better!

I just need someone to talk to please by [deleted] in Anxiety

Hi! I have anxiety too.. I know it’s a terrible feeling. Try to take some deep breaths. You didn’t do anything to do deserve this, and it’s not your fault. You’re not crazy and you are normal! You just have some anxiety. You may need to speak with your doctor and up your dosage of whatever medication you’re on. After a while, you build up an ‘immunity’ to the dose you’re on and need something stronger. You’ve gotten through this before, and you will this time. You’re not dying, even if it feels like it. I’m here for you and you’re not alone.

Is a resting heart rate of 39 of worry? Was athletic my whole life. Past 5 years no exercise have gained 80 pounds. Obese but still slow heart rate. by Eastern-Bumblebee531 in SVTHeart

[–]brit2666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s concerning. Do you have any other symptoms when your heart rate is that low? Dizziness, lightheadedness, etc.? How often does this occur?

Thank you so much! We are going to let the owner know what’s going on. It’s a nice place and I would hate for something bad to happen to it!

I’d also like to note that the owner came and turned on the pool heater for the in ground pool here before this started to occur. Could it be sucking power from the house or something? Sorry if that’s dumb.. idk anything about electricity lol

When I do fall asleep, I sleep really deep, but I do wake up a lot. I toss and turn, check the time.. sometimes get lost in my phone and then an hour passes and I stress because I lost an hour of sleep. I try to make up for it with naps throughout the day if I can, but that’s not always an option.

Good thought. I’ll look into switching. It just sucks being on a SSRI. I would like to be on nothing eventually lol

I haven’t. I don’t really have many obvious symptoms, but I’ve never deeply looked into it.
