When trying to get pregnant, it is best to make a preliminary appointment with your obstetrician/gynecologist. He or she has experience with a variety of medical conditions and treating them during pregnancy and can advise you on how best to prepare for pregnancy. Your physician can also provide with a list of medications that is considered safer to take during pregnancy. Because your doctors will know your complete medical history, he or she can give you specific recommendations for your medical conditions.

It may seem strange at first, but I have discovered that one key to lowering cholesterol, high blood pressure diabetes, and a host of other maladies is FIBER! Eating raw vegetables is a good source for fiber. I take Benefiber every morning. I also take Fish Oil and Flax Seed Oil for cholesterol, joints, and to regulate high blood pressure. For back pain (I have no space in between my lumbar #5) I stretch before getting out of bed each morning, by pulling both my knees to my chest and holding them for 30 seconds or so, then hold them as I stretch my knees away from my body. I then repeat each motion with each leg, while holding my opposite leg off the bed. It is also good to try to walk as much as you can, even if it is in a store, holding on to a cart. I have been living with Rheumatoid Arthritis for 16 years. This is a "use it or lose it" disease, so I keep moving as much as I can. Much luck with your plans to have a baby!

hi, when you are not pregnant, fish oil, 1200 mg, six a day plus red yeast rice, two tablets a day will lower your cholestrol, ldl and raise your hdl, but shouldn't take the red rice yeast when you are pregnant, there is no pain relief with fish oil, just be careful on the pain pills you take, i took lots of aspirin when i pregnant with my second child and she was born with a severe heart defect.

after the baby comes there are many natural products to help you out with pain and cholestrol.

It takes the fish oil a little while to start working well for your cholesterol and heart health. I haven't noticed that it helps with pain. I suffer from chronic lower back pain and spasms. The best drug free help I have found is a water aerobics class for beginners 4 days a week at my local university. The bouyency of the water relieves the pressure on my back allowing me to stretch and move the muscles around my spine and hips. I've been doing this for 5 weeks now and have noticed a considerable difference in my pain levels. As a bonus I am starting to lose some unwanted pounds as well, which, I think has also contributed to having less pain.

Answer/Reply:

You are make some good point of views. I have notice the same regarding the effects of taking Fish Oil and having heartburn. You will also notice the effects that your blood pressure begins to jump up and down due to the heartburn causing you to have either a migraine or feeling dizzly. You may also feel the reaction of a small discomfort in your upper stomach. This could all be the reaction of the acids in our stomach working to desolve a volcano like effect from the medicine.

Take 1 to 2 8oz glass of water, go sit down, take controlled breathing (inhealing and exhealing repeatedly) steps for about 5 minutes. You may even want to close your eyes for about 5 minutes. You will notice that your Systolic drops and your Diastolic may run wild but eventually it will calm down. If you can not control it contact your doctor. Trust me getting high does not feel good and this is similar to the same effect. If taking Fish oil do not drink caffiene with it for at least 2 hours or go work out for about 30 minutes.

To avoid the "fishy" heartburn associated with fish oil capsules, I was told not to take them within 20 minutes of warm or hot drinks & food. Apparently, the heat can dissolve them before they reach your stomach causing them to come back up. Probably the same principle as refrigerating them. It seems to work for me.

I have been taking Novaza (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) for about six months. This was to lower tri's..I was supposed to take four a day. Being sensitive, I started with one, went to two and then tried three. Three gave me pain in my calf, so I have stuck with two. I was interested in hearing that someone else had experienced pain in that location. I have not followed up with a blood test yet to see if the two are helping me out. Sure hope so.

Posted: 2009-03-30 15:49:35

Answer/Reply:

Firstly I assume you are taking LOVAZA not Novaza. Lovaza is composed of omega 3 esters i.e., fish oils intended to reduce LDL or what is called the "bad" cholesterol. I cannot recall if it has any effect on triglycerides. If you are experiencing calf pains that could be very serious, and you might be taking something else which is causing it. In any event, I would stop taking everything immediately and notify your physician as soon as you can.

I take Life Fitness Omega 3 Fish Oil, 1000 mg, I've been taking 1 a day for 14 months and have never experienced any side effects. However, I use to have serious leg cramps for about 20 years, approx. 1 a week. They were so bad sometimes I felt like crying, and would last for about 5 minutes, (sometimes longer). they would mostly occur when I first woke up and stretched my legs in bed.

I then discovered that when I bent my foot upwards, (as if you're trying to point your toes towards your face), the cramp would immediately go away. This works for me every time, as soon as I feel the cramp begin, I point my toes, and poof!, gone. I'm no longer afraid to stretch anymore in the morning, and it feels so good. I wrote WebMD about this remedy and they said they would further evaluate my claim.

I am a 63 year old female and have recently started to take 4,000 mg of fish oil every day for inflammation in my joints. It seems to be helping me. This has not caused any cramping in my legs. However, a year or so ago I would wake up several times a night with cramping in either or both of my legs. I mentioned it to my doctor and he suggested that I take 500 mg of magnesium each day along with 1200 mg of calcium. Guess what? The cramps have never come back. Perhaps this may work for you.

I'm taking a statin called "Lescol" and is in capsule form rather than pill form because I'm lactose intolerant and all the other statins out there are made as pills--their ingredients bound together with lactose. Lescol is supposed to have the least amount of side affects of the statins. If you are having a difficult time paying for your drugs, then you should try Canada Drugs.com. Everything is much cheaper than here in the states. A 3 month supply costs approx. $82. They also have a generic "lescol" which is even cheaper. I even get a generic Restasis for my dry eyes from them at a very reasonable cost compared to the brand name. Maybe we should all buy from Canada and the prices of American drugs will then go down!

I would advise that you speak to a pharmacist as they seem to be more knowledgeable about the herbals/supplements, including interactions - that's their job.

I get my "Healthy Cholesterol Support" product, which contains krill oil and phytosterols from Swanson Vitamins. Very reasonably priced and my cholesterol is down by over 50 points. Also, try to find out what type of cholesterol you have - A is like little ping pong balls that bounce around, B is the sticky stuff and A/B is a combination. A is the best type to have and means that you have a lower risk of heart attack due to cholesterol blocking the arteries - I'm in a study called HeartScore.

I've been tacking 1 Omega 3 Fish Oil capsule for a long, long time. I didn't realize that is why I have stomach-churn or gas. I'll look into the enteric capsules the woman mentioned in her 1-05 posting. The tricky thing is they have to be Omega-3 or they aren't effective (or so I'm told). I was taking just one a day when I ran into a woman who had a CABG and her doctor told her to take 3 a day. I moved up to 2 - more churning and more gas. They're pretty expensive to go to 3 so I'm holding off because I have no idea if they are effective or not. I'm on a low fat diet and take Simvastatin and my LDL is still over 100. So...I'm not a believer yet.

Red Rice Yeast is an excellent product for lowering cholesterol. (Vitamin section) As for the fish oil, keep it in the refrigerator. It easily turns rancid and will cause the problems you describe. Just check to make sure it is cold processed from wild fish. Farm fish have lower levels of omega acids.

Try eating yogurt with live cultures such as Activia. My Dr. suggested it and it works, it takes about a week of eating it daily for it to work.

I take mine with a food with some kind of fat in it. Yogurt is perfect, or eggs. Also, maybe you need a different brand. I don't burp the Sprouts brand, but when I bought it at Walmart or a grocery store I would burp it up, pretty gross. Maybe buy it at a health food store, also the Norweigen fish oil is higher quality.

I have had the same problem. My solution: NatureMade makes a specific type of gel caps that says "Controls Fish Burps." You have to get the one that specifically says this (it's written in blue on the front of the bottle underneath the word Fish Oil). It has a harder coating so that it doesn't digest so quickly in the stomach. It has completely eliminated my fish burps. I hope this helps!

I would try a different brand of fish oil. Ask your doctor for a recommendation.

Fish Oil bothered me and my doctor told me to get Eneric Coated and it works. I take 6 a day and no more problems.
