I had a medium heart attack 7 days ago, I was taken by ambulance to hospital, they found I had a main heart artery partially blocked sothey cleared it using a thromboloyte or something, anyway 3 days later Ithey perfomed an Angioplasty with stent placement. I have quit smoking immediately, and am making radical changes to my lifestyle such as more excersise, healthier eating, losing weight and generally getting myself fitter. My cholestral is 3.4, my BP is 120/80, (always has been) I am 55 years old. Is it possible/likely for me to be able to lead a normal life and live for many years to come if I follow the doctors reccomendations, or am I just going to drop dead in a few weeks time. Sorry to put it so blunly but to be honest I can't think of any other way.
I would appreciate honest and blunt to the point answers please, I would prefer to know what my prognosis is.
thanks
Roger

I accidentally spilt some boiling hot water on my chest when I was 10. I didn't receive help for it because I would've gotten in trouble.
Now i'm in my twenties and there is a dark visible scar the size of a quarter on my chest. It's starting to become a nuisance especially during the summer time when it darkens up and my wardrobe is limited. It shows when I wear halter tops, v necks etc. THe only thing to cover it right now is putting foundation on my chest. Is there any other way to reduce the appearance?

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this Memo out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.
Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.

I've been getting up every day this week at nine, then going to work out at ten. Then I come home, and it's 10:40, and I do some weight lifting. Is it best to eat before I go work out, or after I do? My sister told me that if you eat less than an hour after working out, your body doesn't burn the fat. Is that true? Sometimes if I eat before working out, I feel sick, but I really don't want to skip breakfast, or I eat too much during the day. So, before or after I work out? How long before or after?

I've figured out how to use the tampon, I just don't know where it goes into now.

Yes, I'm a 16 year old who is clueless.

If anyone knows, please tell me.
I'm going on vacation soon, and it's going to be needed.

Thanks.

I really want to get my nose done this summer, but I want to know if I'm too late to schedule one. I want to know how long it will probably be until the procedure is done after i have the consultation with the surgeon? And I really want to go to a really, really, really good surgeon... I don't want to get a bargain on something like this. Is it usually a few months or something??

I am 33, male, and married with 2 kids. For the last 5 years or so I have basically had a very very limited sex drive. I love my wife, and I have a great life, I am just not interested in sex. If it was up to me I seriously wouldn't have sex at all, and when I do, it takes a while for me to get an erection. And it's not just my wife. I don't feel like I want to be with someone else, I don't look at porn, I don't masturbate, I really just have no sex drive. What the hell is wrong with me?

I'm 14 and I have to go to the women's doctor to get a checkup. I'm totally ok with it, but I'm afraid that he/she will weigh me and say that I'm too fat! I love my body and I'm totally happy with my body even though I'm not really skinny.( I'm not seriously overweight or anything, just like baby fat) What should I do? Thank you for any answers!!

I just saw an article on MSNBC about a woman who was raped, went to an emergency room, and when she asked for the morning after pill was denied by the doctor on the grounds that it was against his religion. I think everyone, doctors included, should have the right of their moral convictions, that is not a problem for me. My problem is that a woman or man, anyone for that fact, should know up front what they are dealing with when going for treatment of any kind. If a doctor is morally against abortion or just the morning after pill the patient should
be allowed the option of choosing a different doctor.
My question is this, do you think that doctors and other health care professionals should have a disclosure for patients prior to being treated stating what treatments they are morally against. I personally would not want to pay the high prices of a doctors visit just to be told the type of treatment I want is one he or she would not perform, be it anything.

When I look I see things that look like worms. I still see it even when my eyes are closed so I think it's in my eye. Is it dangerous? Sometimes I also experience a really sharp pain in my head and vision kind of blurs out of focus for about to 5-10 seconds is it related in any way?

Okay so I went to Limited too to buy a padded bra without my mom knowing. Since I don't want her to know I dont put it in the wash, it is starting to smell also; so I put deodarant on it. It smells horrible now! I wear it even to bed. I dont want to just stop wearing it because I'll then look flat chested (of which I am) What do I do?
