> I also learn last night how to breath... I try to don't hold my breath but that's not easy, i'm a lot hypervigileant with the environement and people around me so I tend to forget to breath... I try to breath in where the weight is going down and breath out when I lift the weight... but I always forget to breath at some point...so I begin to feel a lot of dizness...
yeah, the first month or two at the gym, getting breathing, technique, stuff like that down is whats important, to prevent injuries.
> Ok...if I ask for avapro, or the one with the hydrochlorothiazide inside, Avalide, since I do a lot of water retention, it will be good for me? My dad was switch to 150mg of Avalide, same as Avapro but with a diuretic inside... Is it dangerous to take a pill of 150mg of Avalide (Dangerous for low blood pression)if my normal blood pressure is in the range off BP:130-150/80-90 with a Pulse rate of 90??? I don't want to fall into hypotension...since that's not more good than hypertension...
well, i didn't find anything in the cardiologist books i look at, but my guess is that since the main orth. hypo. problem w/ maoi is related to lack of sympathetic activation to counteract physical changes, the NA affecting antihypertensives will have a worse effect on Ortho. for the a given amount of resting BP reduction. but i can see not wanting to start 'avapro' if you might not have hypertension in near future.
i thought you had tried a B-blocker before and it didn't help anxiety for you?
remember, it tends to go away if you stay on the MAOI for a while
> For the nicotine patch? It's also dangerous to smooke when you use them no?
i had never heard that. you could get too much nicotine, which could make you nauseated, but before that point i'd think you'd feel like you had enough nicotine (like when you smoked sort of recnetly, and don't feel the need for another smoke yet.)
I smooke around 25-30 cigarettes day... I swear the god I try to stop...I try 2 times last year...I try the new med to stop call "Champix" in the Canada...not working... I try the patch...I try without anything... I think that's too much for me... Maybe the patch without quit smooking will help to reduce the amount of cigarettes I smooke each day...if you think it's safe to smooke and having a patch, maybe it's worth the try?... Also, the patch, while i'm at the gym, I have to remove it no? The sweating will make the nicotine to be release in the body too much no?
i don't know how sweat affects it, i say just go by feel, if you feel like you have too much nicotine, take it off next time. i've not ever been a smoker, but its quite addictive, and you have other things to worry about, trying to quit is very hard...
> Last question here... Do you know the med call "SABRIL" (Vigabatrin)? I don't think they have it in the USA...Some studies conclude it's a good anti panic agent (vigabatrin reduced cholecystokinin tetrapeptide-induced symptoms of panic disorder, in addition to elevated cortisol and ACTH levels, in healthy volunteers)... It's an irreversible suicide inhibitor of gamma-aminobutyric acid transaminase (GABA-T), the enzyme responsible for the catabolism of GABA, which increases the level of GABA in the synapses. Do you think it's more good than the Lyrica or the Gabapentin?i think its somewhat like valproate. not sure how effective it is. i think there are some bad side effects at low probability, like eye problme or something.
> I will have to find a solution cause for 240 $ each month, I cant afford going to the gym and ending to not going because I cant augment my cardio exercises time and because I will not be able to stop having panic attacks... I prefer to cancel the membership and buy a bike and doing this oustide alone or whit a friend...it will be less expensive like this!!! I do a lot of bike at summer time before, back in 2002 until 2005... I stop because the bike broke and I Didn't had money to buy a new one at the time...but well...that's a big decision... The gym will help me not only for the cardio but for the muscles also...with the weight I loose, it was so fast that I lost almost all the muscles in my arms...the bottom part of my body is ok...my muscles stay in good shape...but the upper body was completly destroy...Since riding the bycicle outside will not help my upper body muscles...what I do???
>
> I'm torn between cancel the gym and doing bike outside...it will help me to cope with the heart effect in a less "social" environement...and maybe in the fall I will be able to return to the gym and I will be more well prepare to face the gym environement???
>
> What do you think about that idea???well i'm not you but i'd think getting in a routine of gong to the gym would be a good thing to accomplish.
