Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / December 2003I have chronic prostatitis BUT....
....does anything like this sound familiar please? Just wondering if anyone gets this please: 1) I get sick JUST before I need to pee and feel sick all over again just AFTER I pee. It isn't "throwing up" sick but definitely very queasy. About 15 mins later, it goes away till next time I need to pee. 2) At the same time as that queasy, I get a very vague feeling from JUST under my navel up into my navel and going INWARDS like something is pulling at my navel from inside. Again, when I pee it goes away most of the time, sometimes it just fades into "I can deal with it by forgetting about it" while not really going away. Just asking because all this is new and really bringing me down while trying to work, worse than I have felt in a long time (other health problems unrelated to CP). Also, whenever I go to the doctor as I have a number of health problems, he has done just about everything short of SAYING I am a hypochondriac. So, I have been to him only for needed prescription renewals for the last 2 years, none of which are CP related and have had nothing for CP at all. So, while it is annoying to me it is physically making it very hard to work correctly and I need to do something about that. If anyone has had these sort of symptoms, perhaps you might enlighten me please. New to me! Thanks in advance. hundreds of symptoms are common to many of us: pain,burning,itching,goosebumps,rash, on: legs,feet,gi,back,thigs,anal are etc nausea,vomit,shakes,indigestion, etc name your specific symptoms and type meds you take and any other health 'conditions' you suffer from and we can be more helpful then... wish you the best > hundreds of symptoms are common to many of us: > pain,burning,itching,goosebumps,rash, [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > and we can be more helpful then... > wish you the best I take Losec only, regularly as well as Saw Palmetto. As to the other problems, no kidding, when I type it all out, I sound like I am complaining even to me - which is why I don't admit to them any longer. If I admit to them in front of a doctor, I don't get proper treatment ever again. dont kid yourself, you may have other treatable conditions. unless you list other symptoms it would be difficult for anyone to what they are treating. list the symptoms, you might learn the reason for some symptoms >>hundreds of symptoms are common to many of us: >>pain,burning,itching,goosebumps,rash, [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > If I admit to them in front of a doctor, I don't get proper treatment ever > again. > dont kid yourself, you may have other treatable > conditions. unless you list other symptoms it would be difficult > for anyone to what they are treating. I am not kidding myself. Local doctor had a month off, recently. I went for my Losec prescription refill and the locum had my file in his hand and wrote it out. I asked him if he would tell me why I am weak all the time, cant think straight for long and need to sleep in the afternoon every day. His response, while laughing, was "There's nothing wrong with you. Get out of here and exercise". I suppose he didnt see my blood pressure reading of 180/116 on the chart there.... That's medicine in Australia. We have over $4,000,000,000 in surplus from the Federal budget this year, near twice what was expected yet they are cutting down on health, hospitals and all social programs. When the going gets tough, the poor get taxed. > > dont kid yourself, you may have other treatable > > conditions. unless you list other symptoms it would be difficult [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > When the going gets tough, the poor get taxed. Do you think that Losec affects your BP? When I take a 20 mg Losec capsule a day my BP seems lower than when I need to two pills a day.

It's a proton pump inhibitor nowadays specifically used for some people with cardiac problems for that reason and not for gastric reflux. So, yes. If you are having problems affecting your BP when taking it, go see a doctor. In my case though, I have been using it about 13 years. I am beginning to believe that it doesn't have that effect on me any longer but I don't have proof for this belief. > > > > dont kid yourself, you may have other treatable > > > > conditions. unless you list other symptoms it would be difficult [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > believe that it doesn't have that effect on me any longer but I don't have > proof for this belief. If you have prostatitis then the pressure/problems/backflow into your kidneys could be causing non stop infection and this of itself could be the cause of your high BP > > > > > dont kid yourself, you may have other treatable > > > > > conditions. unless you list other symptoms it would be difficult [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > kidneys could be causing non stop infection and this of itself could be the > cause of your high BP The BPH could be causing a kidney problem but I have never tested positive for prostatitis.

I asked the gastroentranologist (sp) at my appointment this week. He said that he did not know of PPI's putting up BP in higher doses. Why is a PPI used for cardiac problems? My PPI was originally prescribed by a cardiologist, at the time he explained that none of the three chest pains that I reported were cardiac related.

Not at all 100% sure why some people are prescribed them and others not to be honest. Just remember that pains that seem like heart problems can often be caused by lack of oxygen in your system even though you have no artery or cholesterol problems. I have severe and chronic sleep apnea that is not treatable in my case and it took me a second to realise I was having angina-alike pains and said this to the doctor who laughed at me. So, I asked him how angina pains occur and he told me that it occurs through blockages in arteries, artery constriction through sclerosis etc. So I said "In the end, a lack of oxygen to the heart, right?" and he agreed. At that point I took the time to talk to HIM like an idiot as he was doing to me and asked him what a lack of oxygen in the entire body like mine would do. He thought about it and then the light went on. I saw he finally understood and then said "See, I have angina by default basically because though my arteries are fine, I have the same lack of oxygen in my blood for my entire body, thus my heart" and he sat there saying "YES! YES! YES, OF COURSE!". So, when you next talk about your heart problem, try and see if there is some other reason your body lacks oxygen - sleep apnea, whatever else. It may be that you have real pains for that reason. You know the funny thing was that doctor I spoke about KNEW that there was a good chance I would die of a heart attack due to my sleep apnea problem but he couldn't understand I would get angina-alike pains. How stupid is that? Well, at least your doctor acknowledged that what you said made sense. Many doctors have too big an ego for that!

How stupid is that? When I mentioned my symptoms and that I had an angiogram that was clear ( I was told by the cardiologist that my two treadmill tests evidently had been false positives) this was the reply I got on a cardiac NG: Derek.

I started to notice my sleep apnea symptoms though didn't know what was going on, early in 1993. The reason I noticed was that I was running up a staircase at a train platform, got to the top and had to grab a rail as I thought I was going to pass out, something I have never done in my life at all. When that feeling went, I put it down to anything that may have accounted for it and soon forgot it. The one event that made me start to worry was that I was playing air hockey and really wanted to win so put my all into it, ignoring the chest pains and all. After I won, my vision narrowed to pinpoints and I sat on a seat for what seemed like 2 minutes and turned out to be 15 minutes. Still, I didn't listen. Eventually I couldn't walk a few hundred metres and that was when I decided to find out what was going on. I had an angiogram, too. Nothing wrong except an enlarged heart. The ending to all this is that the problem is still there - lack of oxygen to the heart because of my sleep apnea (my body oxygen saturation drops to lower than 60% when asleep and rarely ever gets above 90% when awake). Lack of oxygen kills the heart which is basically one large muscle. Along the way to killing it, the lack of oxygen causes pain like angina. All I can tell you is to find the answer for yourself. To find it, though, start with verifiable medical web sites and university medical departments. > > When I mentioned my symptoms and that I had an angiogram that was clear > ( I [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > All I can tell you is to find the answer for yourself.

I walk miles a day up and down hills without problems in that respect. I was told at the first treadmill test 11 years ago that I must have angina as my heart was not getting enough oxygen when the pace was stepped up. My racehorse must have had the same problem, he could not quicken when the rest did but never finished breathless :-) Derek. > > > When I mentioned my symptoms and that I had an angiogram that was clear > > ( I [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > finished breathless :-) > Derek. Actually, in what I do for my self employment, I have no doubt I walk more than that. I walk up and down hills, too. Unfortunately and against popular mythical belief, walking simply doesn't cut it for pointing out this sort of thing unless your heart is really badly off. I can even run upstairs (about 8 stairs) and down again. What is something of a beginning of a REAL test has to take place from rest and then a sudden exertion. It is more than at rest though. What is the best idea of whether you should be seeing a doctor about your heart if you THINK something MAY be wrong is to sit about 10 minutes on the floor by kneeling, on hands and knees and then sitting back, your backside on your ankles. You know like they show the ancient Japanese used to do all the time? While sitting there in that position, after about 10 minutes you should have SOME tingling even if not much. Now, lean forward and stand straight up without getting any help by holding on to something. This will put a lot of strain on your knees so if the knees are really bad, this isn't something you should do. I regularly do this as I have dogs that like me to be on the floor. Every single time I get up, I get the chest pains, almost fall over with dizziness etc. However, I am a believer in "getting used to things" therapy. Eg, keep doing it till it doesn't have that negative effect any longer. I don't know if I ever WILL get rid of it but I wont stop trying. This sort of therapy has helped me a lot. I had arthritic pain in my big toe where it joined the foot SO bad that it was like a knife was in it moving around. So, I forced AGAINST the pain, spots in front of my eyes, about 5 or 6 times and eventually whatever was causing the pain (likely a calcium buildup) gave way in a big CRACK and I have had very little of anything more than a low dull pain ever since. That is why I persevere in getting up like that. Well, that and the fact that my job requires me to crawl under desks and such and then get up. I need to maintain a modicum of fitness in the legs. I figure if I am going to blow out badly by doing this, I would rather be at home than out on a job! BTW, apart from walking more than that, I also tow behind me, if possible, or carry if not, a bag that you see at airports with extendable handle and wheels. A big HEAVY one. Not much of a problem when I can tow it but very heavy when I cant and I often have to go upstairs with it and on more than one occasions, up LADDERS with it! > > > > When I mentioned my symptoms and that I had an angiogram that was > clear [quoted text clipped - 89 lines] > heavy when I cant and I often have to go upstairs with it and on more than > one occasions, up LADDERS with it! I regularly carry three bags of heavy shopping home from the supermarket, uphill all the way. The other day under my burden I easily passed a young man who was pushing his bicycle up the hill.
