Suggest Treatment For PVCs
Gallbladder out in june of 2010 but before had been on 80 mg of simvistatin and everything was hurting when I stopped the med everything went back to normal, except my upper right pain under my ribs. have been on ranitidine for couple of years, could it be that. but also after stopping the simvistatin my pain in URQ radiates to by back bone, now have pvcs that I never had and just feel horrible most of the time. Have I been poisoned or should I try stopping the ranitidine ?

Hi,
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms are not related to Ranitidine. You should know that the pain can lead to PVCs or high blood pressure values.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests in order to investigate for the possible causes underlying your complaints:
- A resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- A chest X-ray study
- Fibrogastroscopy for gastritis or ulcer
- Kidney and liver function tests
- Amylase and lipase plasma levels for possible pancreatitis
- A cervico-thoracic spine X-ray study.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
