you also need to see the doctor and find out by specialists what you have or not. sometimes asthma can flare up and the irregular heart you can take meds for get moving.

No matter how good you describe it here, people can only guess, and obviously that doesn't sound normal, I have this random thing where i can breathe in and all of a sudden it feels like someone is squeezing my heart and i have to take these tiny breathes for about a minute otherwise it's horrible pain, so i went to the doctor and did three tests and she said it was all fine, but thats still not normal and i still want to know what it is i get, what happens, and what causes it, but atleast it feels good knowing it's not a disease or anything serious...go to the doctor for a check up and hopefully they will put your mind at ease

They say it lowers cholesterol. But when you take it you get "flushed" and it feels like you're on fire. It probably works like drano in your blood.
2 :
Please tell us where you will practice. I know I don't want anyone who can't learn basic material treating me.

It lowers cholesterol. I got this advice from a pharmacist and it worked for me, though i can't quite remember how much I took. I recommend that you just call a pharmacy and they will tell you for free. They tend to know how things will affect you better than Mds, as far as side effects. I had adoctor that was a Md and a pharmacist and he did not recommend the niacin he wanted to put me on Lipitor. I happened to go to the pharmacist to get a recommendation and that's when i was told about it. after taking it for a couple months religiously my cholesterol dropped significantly. My doctor told me that I could not get it down like Lipitor could, but I proved him wrong and did not have to worry about the bad side effects of lipitor. Well..I have a new doctor. It does help the heart because of the lowering of cholesterol, but there are side effects with taking too much of anything and so I recommend you go to a pharmacy and ask them. Tell them of any other medicines or supplements you are taking and always consult a doctor. I hope you have an open minded doctor.

By lowing the c-reactive protein and interleukin 6 levels that increase the inflammation in the blood vessels of the heart. the flushing may be eliminated by always taking it with a full meal. 500 mg to1000 mg
5 :
so just in case , do you know that nicotinamide the other form of B3 is useless in reducing cholesterol? 500mg a day of niacin will reduce cholesterol I've heard. if you split it up thew the day it will stop some of the flushing. with all due respect to EMT-B , i've taken niacin for a long time and even if its with a full meal with 500mg I'll get a flush. maybe he uses a timed release verity. anyway i dont mind the flush, i kind of like it. i some times have a cold shower when its happening and i feel real refreshed. some more things that could help are, lecithin, vitamin E, apples and grape fruits for their pectin which takes some cholesterol out of the system, and increase your water. water can lower cholesterol. find out about the book , your body's many cries for water. i don't know how to spell his name but he is a Dr and water actually dose help blood pressure and cholesterol.
6 :
I might be crasy but I like the niacin flush espechaly when its cold out. but I wish I could rember where I read that if you take asprin with it like an hour befor you wont flush might try that

Is There A Link Between Teeth Problems And Heart Disease?
I'm sure it relates in some way to bad breath and tooth decay.

I don't think it does

Bacterial Endocarditis Can have several causes, one of which is bacteria entering the blood stream during dental work (blood is normal completly free of bacteria). If Streptococci ,which are part of the normal flora of the human mouth, enter the blood stream, they can circulate and come to infect the inner layer of the heart - the endocardium -especially if it is already in some why damaged or if the valves have a defect.

Yes, you're right. There's a relation between teeth problems and heart disease -- specially the role of oral bacteria in the onset of cardiovascular disease. The cause for this is poor oral hygiene, which allows certain pathogens in the mouth to accelerate the formation of plaque in the aorta (the main artery of the body supplying oxygenated blood to the circulatory system). The link between oral health and systemic health has been the subject of university research for a while and also actively reported by medical journals like the Journal of Periodontology. But the critical thing for you and me -- the folks outside the labs -- is to be aware of the symptoms of teeth problems when they first occur. Symptoms that include bad breath, tooth decay and gingivitis. Bad breath may seem like a minor 'social problem' at first, but it signals the onset of something bigger on the health front. Diet, drinks and lifestyle all contribute to diseases that few take seriously till they become full-blown maladies. Take care of the root cause -- the minor thing -- so you don't have to worry about how big a cavity or bleeding gums can become
