Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS: _http://chemicalinjury.net/MedicalCare.htm_ (http://chemicalinjury.net/MedicalCare.htm) In Dr. Ziem's experience, irregularities of the heartbeat and/or rapid heartbeat are common in chemically injured patients after exposures (autonomic neuropathy. While medications for these symptoms are available, they may not work as well in chemically injured patients. Unless the symptoms are potentially life or organ threatening, consider controlling the environment first, which is a safer and often more effective preventive measure. Use neural protocol. High blood pressure during exposure is not uncommon. When it occurs, it is often seen in a medical facility (with exposure there) but not at home, if home is better controlled for exposure. Use blood pressure monitoring to see if this is only occasional with exposure. Elevated cholesterol and triglycerides are common in chemical injury. Chemical injury involves endothelial inflammation and increased free radicals, which can damage blood vessel linings. Cholesterol is used to “repair†the damaged, rough surface so blood cells are not damaged. Impaired digestive enzymes and lipid damage (free radicals) could lead to increased triglycerides.
