Doctor's Answer
Hi,
I would like to ask you what do you mean by word slow heart beat because it might mean a little different medically.
Usually inhalers are responsible for tachycardia(fast heart rate than slow),specially the drug taken by you. These are very common drugs that might cause you to have a little bit of tremors and might cause you to feel that you are feeling your heart beat,or it might also cause headache,dizziness,or may be vomiting.
I believe you can ask your physician to change your inhaler ... Read Full Answer

My wife had a HSG Test done w/ x-rays 4 days ago. Last night she was complaining about a sharp pain in the lower left quadrant of her lower abdomen. She said it was very painful and was not going away or becoming less intense. By the time for today came, she was complaining about the pain, it being 5/5 at times. She described this pain as a sharp stabbing constant pain. However, now the pain is radiating around the lower left of her abdomen to her lower left back. The area is very tender and the pain spikes even when slightly pushed on in both the areas, abdomen and lower back. Is this a common side-effect of having the HSG Test? Especially if both of her tubes are blocked and she has been diagnosed with Endometriosis. Please help me figure this out so I know whether or not she needs to be seen at a hospital.

Hi,
By telling that she also has fever,one thing is confirmed that she has an infection. Now if she has problem in her micturition too then either the infection is in her urinary tract or the pelvis which will have to be seen first and then an antibiotic can be started. So you have to consult your doctor now.
Feel free to ask further question. ... Read Full Answer

Hi!!
The pain after getting an HSG test done,will not come after 4-5 days as you have described,rather this pain is probably due to other causes.

Kindly review with your nearest hospital about the cause of the pain which may be due to renal colic ,ureteric colic,etc ... Read Full Answer
