the effects of ADHD medication on the cardiovascular system
i was prescribe reboxetine, which is a noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (like strattera / atomoxetine, which is the most known NRI used for treatment of ADHD). in this video, you can see possible side effects of the drug (sinus arrythmia) as well as the direct effects of the drug on my heart during peak plasma levels. also, we will take a look at how my body reacts to bisoprolol, a beta blocker i was prescribed against hypertension and sinustachycardia - and i will be drinking some very strong coffee with a lot of sugar to see what this substance does. :-) i think the rather 'odd' effects of the reboxetine on my heart actually have to do with my mind. i was quite hyper and annoyed to have to lay down for 10 minutes before taking reboxetine, and afterwards, i was rather relaxed and was just idle and fine laying around on my bed. this relaxed feeling increased with the coffeine and sugar intake. so, that may have lead to the drop in heart frequency. conclusion: the drug does indeed make me calmer. but, it doesnt have any influence on concentration as of yet - i didnt edit the sound files, and you can clearly hear i sound like a broken LP at some times, grrr. same issues as usual, just unedited.
Heart Attack Test
Researchers say they have a test that can tell if you're having a heart attack in just minutes, rather than the current test that takes hours. They discovered this by studying patients who actually benefit from a heart attack. www.sciencentral.com

Danielle’s Rett Syndrome Journey
Danielle "Deedee" was diagnosed with Autism at 24 months (Sept. 2000). She had no speech, had no eye contact, ground her teeth and had stereotypic hand movements. In November of 2005, Danielle was admitted to the hospital with sudden neurological losses. At that time she was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome. She had been struggling for 4 years with failure to thrive. It became a severe problem by April 5, 2007 when she had a G-Tube placed. From that date on she had repeated g-tube infections and sepsis 5 times. During this time we started seeing cardiac issues, temperature regulation problem, and episodes of extremely low blood pressure. August 15, 2007 she had a pacemaker placed. This controlled the Bradycardia (heart rate below 30 bpm). The blood pressure continued to be a problem. Then she started have severe apnea episodes (waking and sleeping). It was at this time they realized that her autonomic system was failing. This progressed to not being able to hold any food or g-tube feedings down. Then in January of 2008 her digestive system shut down completely. It was at this time that her heart was only beating when it was paced by the pacemaker and the apnea became a constant and her oxygen saturation began to fall even with help of oxygen. On January 29th, 2008 at 7:45 PM (EST) Danielle lost her battle, and went home to the Lord.
