Open Question: Why does Taurine make my chest tight - feels like asthma?

I’m on a great diet called the Allergy and Asthma Cure. It’s a great diet and rally helping. I cut my meds down by 75%. I started taking Taurine this morning. Couldn’t find a dose lower than 500mg to start with, so I emptied the capsule until only a quarter was left and took it.

With an half hour, my chest got tight like it does when my asthma and allergies act up. It lessened over the course of the next five hours. The great news is that I’ve never felt so relaxed! Although I felt a little drugged when I first took it. I have panic disorder and agoraphobia and heard it’s great for that. I believe them!

What causes the chest tightness? Should I continue with the Taurine? My blood pressure was 95/68 last time I got it checked. I’m also on Flovent, Cal/Mag, Fish Oil, probiotics, Vit. C, Aloe, Chromiun, B-Complex. Enzymes, Ginger and Gingko.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Open Question: I have some questions about metroprolol and toprol?

I’m 17 years old and I just got diagnosed with PVC’s,also I have high blood pressure and rapid heart rate.. the ER doctor gave me a meroprolol 25mg when I was there and it just made me feel like total crap, and ive been reading about it making alot of other people the same way. So i’m going to see if I can get switched to toprol as i’ve been hearing the better things about it. I just need some answers on these medicines…is this a good idea to switch or is metroprolol better? also is there any serious things that can happen with these medicines? because im reading the SERIOUS side effects list and it says call your doctor if you are experiencing Anxiety or irregular heart beats…well I have anxiety to begin with and also irregular heartbeats which would be the PVC’s…how am I suppose to know if I should go to the hospital or not? Any tips would be helpful i’m just kind of scared to take a medicine that messes with my heart rate…maybe im just being a wuss but just want to be safe. Thanks

Open Question: The Truth About Medicine?!?

I’m always pretty worried about my mom and her health. She’s 48 going on 49. She’s going through menopause or gone through, and she’s overweight. I’m only 19 years old, and I want her around as long as possible. And she’s taking thyroid and high blood pressure medicine. She went through some sort of tests at the doctor’s, and found out that her arteries and heart was fine. But, I’m still worried, because she doesn’t seem healthy. Now my uncle (her brother), had a severe thyroid problems as a young teenager that landed him in the hospital for months. He’s now been a “health nut” for a couple of decades and doesn’t take any medicine, and is perfectly healthy. In excellent shape. And I was just wondering what natural remedies are out there that actually work, and improve health. And I’m not trying to so much knock doctors and medicine off, but medicine seems to be stronger than ever, and people seem to be getting sicker. You take this pill, and the side effects cause you to take another. Some recipes, or methods would really help. Thanks in advance!!!

Voting Question: What are some natural ways to lower blood pressure?

I am looking for natural ways to lower blood pressure besides excercise. I know there are supplements and other things besides drugs.

I am not looking for an easy way out. I am looking for alternative ways to lower my blood pressure besides being put on medication. It does not mean I am not willing to diet and it does not mean that I don’t excercise. It means that I don’t want to be on hbp meds.
