Bundle Block Help

5 Replies

I am a new member and i am learning a lot from here so thanks to everyone. My Bundle block diagnosis didn't mean much to me, at the time, but that changed big time when i changed psychiatrist. He stopped almost all the medication that managed my psychosis, paranoia, bipolar and schizophrenia. The withdrawal is pretty brutal too.

i am learning fast but i have so many questions. I will share what i learn but my immediate focus is below and everything is appreciated

- Names / types of medication to avoid (One chemist even refused my cough medicine)

- Medic alert bracelets (useful, which one for UK and travelling)

- Smart watches and trackers.

- Anything else you wish to share.

Thanks

Thanks Serg12, the 22 year bit is great to hear. My cardio avoids some sleep tablets but i think they may have psychiatric meds in them. it was a chemist who refused me the cough medicine for irritating cough. I will ask why next time i go in.

I have also been refused anti inflammatories, eg Ibuprofen. whilst on Ramipril. What do other people do for pain relief?

Paracetamol is what they gave me in hospital

Paracetamol is for pain but it is not an anti inflammatory

Your question was “what do I use for pain relief”.

The reason not to take the anti inflammatory drugs will be found in the possible interactions. You can check easily on drugs.com
