Hypoxia and Medicine

What kind of treatment available for cerebral ischemia, and what is the success rate of the treatment? Recently I visited eye doctor as my son is having a squinted eye. After so many tests doctor found out that the back portion of the eye is swollen and he has to undergo MRI. After I search on the internet I found that the swelling could be caused by cerebral ischemia. I am very much worried now as my son is 3 yrs old only now. I would like to know if any treatment available for this, if available what it is and how successful it is. Many thanks for your replies.

How are cardiac ischemia and shortness of breath related? I have had significant shortness of breath and am being treated with inhalers, nebulizer and meds. EKG and chemical stress test results said "provocable ischemia of interior (anterior?) wall ". Haven't gotten results of echocardiogram yet.

Am I to assume that cardiologist will read echo before I am to see him and that is the way I will get the results?

I have ischemia (heart) and wonder about heat and massage.? I have ischemia of the heart (left side I think). I also have a neck vertebrae that injured and hurts periodically. When it's bad I use a heating pad and aspirin which has always helped. I have always preferred a hot bath as well. But, I've had ischemia for 8 years, no treatment until 4 months ago, and I'm just realizing that maybe its not a minor thing. I wonder now about massage, which I love but don't have often. I was thinking about getting a 2nd opinion on the ischemia because my dr. makes me feel like the ischemia is very minor, and yet I have to take this medicine. My blood pressure was high too and I have an injured knee and neck and torn shoulder so those things are kind of like inflammations - not good for a heart I hear. Thanks for any input. I am so impressed with this site: the answers and the opportunities for people to learn much more about their important and not so urgent but concerning issues. Thank you all so much.

How long does it take for narrowing of the caridac arteries to occur? Two years ago this October I had a stress test with echocardigram and it came back cmpletely clean, no build up anywhere. I went to the family Dr yesterday because I use a CPAP machine and thought it was causing the annoying little tigtness I feel in my chest. My Dr did and EKG and compared it to the one he'd done 2 years ago and showed me how now, after the big blip there's this really small down blip before it smooths out and he said that could be an indication of ischemia or not enough oxygen getting to my heart. It puzzles me that I could have any narrowing that fast. I thought it took years for build-up to occur. The only change in my diet I've made is I've been eating more protein and eggs to lose weight. I've also been exercising more, but stopped for the summer. Can anyone help?

Questions about side effects of Lipitor, toprol re heart and stopping meds? I have ischemia and irregular heartbeat which I don't really understand, erratic high blood pressure, an injured knee which is always kind of swollen (inflammed?), carpal tunnel and an ongoing neck injury from legal computer work (which I no longer do). I felt so exhausted, very weak, very depressed, mentally confused and slow. Needless to say, the incapable, weak, incompetent affects have never beeen a part of my life before. THEREFORE, I decided to stop all meds about 3 weeks ago. I really feel so much better and stronger. A nurse told me, no matter what, don't take Lipitor; as you get older your muscles will all be wasted and you don't want that. I DON'T want that. Now I am wondering what to do about the ischemia and clogged arteries . I'm leary of my heart dr. who told me I could take Adderall with ischemia and an inflammation bec. it speeds up my erratic heart??? Inflammation is not supposed to be good for ischemia. Can anyone help me understand where to do from here?

can microvascular ischemia in the brain related to long term marijuana use be triggered by pain medication? my husband had dementia MRI showed microvascular ischemia which with further investigation was linked to marijuana use. when he stopped the dementia stopped.now he had his teeth pulled and has been on pain meds and the dementia has returned. dementia happens when he is NOT under the influence of drugs.
