Is red bull bad for me i have a heart called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?


I had few red bulls when i went out the other night and my heart was playing up big time would it have been the drink ?
----------

Don't drink Red Bull.
Have a search on the internet - it will surprise you the amount of countries who have banned it from being sold.

There are health concerns regarding the consumption of Red Bull - just have a look at the ingredient list, lots of taurine and caffeine, glucuronolactone.

In 2007, a study conducted by American researchers concluded that Red Bull, along with other popular energy drinks, could boost both blood pressure and heart rates, prompting them to warn those with heart disease to avoid the drinks due to the possibility it could reduce the effectiveness of their medications.

Don't drink it!  (+ info)

How do I get rid of hypertrophic scarring on a nipple piercing?


Unfortunately, my piercer says there's no way to make it go away. I started to get a bump next to the exit wound of my piercing and I had to remove the bar, wait for it to heal and then get it re-pierced using a longer bar. The swelling caused by the piercing caused the nipple area to encompass the balls of the barbell and caused the scarring.

Some people say that using a buttermilk lotion can help reduce scarring, but I haven't tried that yet.
Good luck!  (+ info)

I have a HYPERTROPHIC SCAR right under my lip. How long will it take to go down?


I've had it since February (5 months)

I fell and my tooth went through my lip.

A plastic surgeon stitched it, but I still have a raised, red, half-inch line.

I understand it will likely always be red, but when will the raised part go down?
----------

Hypertrophic scarring – will appear like a little blister or bubble about one (or both) of the holes of the piercing. They will probably be tender and may fluctuate in size. Salt soaks seem to work well in letting these go down, but witch hazel and tea tree oil also seem to work well, just don’t overdo it.

I have a small one on my left ear. I soak it in salty purified water twice a day (morning/night). Dry it. Then, massage it with the tea tree oil. I've been doing this for about a week. It's barely apparent. I'm going to keep at it for another week just to be sure.  (+ info)

Will hypertrophic scarring go away with time?


I have scarring on my cartilage piercing. I know you can soak it with sea salt to make it go away, but I was wondering if it can just go away with time?
----------

it can, but i wouldn't bank on it. continue with the soaks followed by warm compresses then massage it with emu oil.  (+ info)

How does one heal hypertrophic scars?

Does hypertrophic scarring ever become permanent?


I got my tragus pierced last February and a few hours later, there was already a very very small bump. It got bigger and sea salt soaks don't help. White stuff comes out aftet the soaks but the bump doesn't get smaller. I've tried tea tree oil - diluted and undiluted - and cortisone cream to no effect. So does the bump remain if it's been here for a year?
----------

I would suggest getting it checked out. I got hypertrophic scarring on my helix about a month after I had it done, but it went away after a while.  (+ info)
