Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Russ, I've been on LDN for 18 months and have had no heart-related problems at all. Less bladder urgency is still the only positive side effect I've experienced. (I'm not complaining!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe allery? Try being off LDN for a week or two and see what happens. Start back on LDN at 1.5mg and if okay try upping to 3.0mg and if okay then upward more. Cracked ribs(the trauma and if you were in pain) will up heart rate and blood pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hi , What other symptoms are you hoping to have subside? Perhaps there are other items that will help that are compatible with LDN.
