Cardiac Nurse Strawberry Pony I have A Question for you ?


I wanted to ask you about the pulse in the ears thing Please email thanks.

The active ingredients in belladonna alkoloids are used in conventional medicine too. They are in a class of medications called anticholenergics - which act to block certain nerve impulses. We use these medications to arrest certain arrhythmias and to treat migraine headaches. I have listed some of the side effects and interactions to be cautious about with these medications. A word of caution: Just because a preparation is "natural" does not mean it is harmless.

For the most part sensing a pulse in your ears does not mean anything pathologic (seriously wrong). It would make sense to be certain your blood pressure is well controlled. Additionally people who suffer from sinus congestion/allergies/upper respiratory symptoms often complain of hearing a pulse in their ears. Finally your ear canal may be unduly filled with cerumen (wax) and that can cause you to sense of hearing an audible pulse. In short, try some simple things to try to correct the possible source of the issue. I would not take drastic measures, however, to try to "correct" it as it is not pathological - perhaps with the exception of elevated blood pressure.

Side Effects

Toxic signs of belladonna include dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, and nausea. Some side effects, including pupil dilation, blurred vision, fever (due to the inability to perspire), inability to urinate, arrhythmia, and excessive dry mouth and eyes, can also be early indications of belladonna overdose. Individuals experiencing these side effects should inform their health care practitioner immediately.

Belladonna overdose is also indicated by a burning throat, delirium, restlessness and mania, hallucinations, difficulty breathing, and flushed skin that is hot and dry. Without proper treatment, constriction of the airway can cause suffocation. If any of these symptoms occur, individuals should seek emergency medical attention immediately. Treatment of belladonna overdose is typically gastric lavage, which involves inserting a tube down the patient's throat and washing out the stomach with a solution of activated charcoal or tannic acid to neutralize the atropine. Oxygen may also be required until breathing is stabilized, and barbiturates may be administered to counteract mania and/or excitation.

Interactions

Certain medications may increase the effects of belladonna. These include central nervous system (CNS) depressants, monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, quinidine, amantadine, antihistamines, and other anticholinergics. Other medications, including anticoagulants (blood thinners) and corticotropin (ACTH), become less effective when used with belladonna, while some drugs, such as diarrhea medicines containing kaolin and attapulgite, may decrease the therapeutic response to belladonna when they are taken with the herb. If you are taking these or any other medications or herbal remedies, let your healthcare professional know.

Alcohol, a CNS depressant, can also enhance the sedative effect of belladonna, and should be avoided during belladonna treatment.

Individuals considering treatment with homeopathic dilutions of belladonna should consult their healthcare professional about possible interactions with certain foods, beverages, prescription medications, aromatic compounds, and other environmental elements that could counteract the efficacy of belladonna treatment.

I hope this helps. Good luck.
