Elevated Cpk & Triponin After Taking Cialis/flying Posted: 11-17-05 08:10am
I am a healthy male in my 30's with ed.
Don't smoke, don't drink excessively, not
overweight and have normal blood bressure.
I'm 6'2", 175 lbs. No known allergies
or additional medications.
On a recent vacation involving a long
flight I took cialis upon arrival.
Before any sexual activity we went on a
very mild hike ~ 1 mile, fairly level, and
I ran out of energy and became nauseous.
A couple days later I had a similar
reaction to exercise and had to cut it
short. Nausea and a very fast heart rate
delayed our flight home and I saw a local
doctor.
They did an ekg and did some blood work
which revealed elevated levels of cpk and
triponin. The ekg was normal. They
allowed me to fly home but was told to see
my doctor immediately.
Upon doing so I was hospitalized. My cpk
levels had jumped from 4000 to over 5000
but everything else was normal. Ekg, ct,
nuc, echocardiagram tests were all
negative.
My cpk levels are now normal but we're are
struggling to understand the connection
between the flying, cialis, nausea and
cpk/triponin levels...If any.
Purely conjecture but I think my body may
not like flying although it does not
induce anxiety. I did pass out on a
flight once for no apparent reason (after
sitting still for an extended period).
