Title: Cartia 120mg and 02
Post by smitty on Aug 21st, 2008 at 3:10am
I have been taking cartia 120mg daily and doing 02 when I get a CH at night. I have not had any side effects from the cartia. The only thing I noticed was some water retention, but I just drank more water and that helped. Other that nothing. The 02 really helps ease the pain of the CH. Its usually about within 10-15 minutes it starts to subside.  I love my oxygen concentrator machine. So far, the cartia seems to be working really well and has been keeping my blood pressure really low which its supposed to do. I'm starting to think maybe blood pressure has something to do with CH's. I hope this has worked or maybe its the end of a cycle. I just thought I throw in there a few ideas. Also cold ice packs help some.

Good luck everyone and PF days to y'all!!!
