My husband had a medical checkup this morning and was found to have a heart abnormality, with a strong possibility that he had an arterial blockage. The cardiologist explained that he could have either an angiogram or a ct scan in order to investigate the condition further, but recommended an angiogram. His reasoning was that if a blockage was found during this procedure, then an angioplasty (sp?) could be performed at the same time.

My husband is only 41 years' old, has never had any health problems, is not overweight and exercises regularly. This condition was only picked up because of the checkup.

What are the risks of an angiogram? Is it better to have a ct scan instead?. What are the risks of an angioplasty? Will he have any problems recovering from either of these procedures?

If he has the angioplasty, does this mean he will not have a heart attack in the future?

Does anyone have some advice for us?

My skin has been itchy for the past few weeks and it's either due to a new puppy, a new lotion, or watermelon.

8 1/2 mnths preggers. I have done abso nothing to my foot! Last wed it starting hurting and it hasnt stopped. I figured it was another "one of those pregnancy things" but I am concerned now. Let me expain the pain... It hurts on the top and botton of my foot when there is any pressure on it where my 3rd and 4th toe are. My toes DO NOT HURT. It's my foot in that area. There is no swelling no bruising no cuts scrapes NOTHING! It just hurts! And when i elevate it it starts to tingle but when its just on the floor when i am sitting it burns and tingles also. It hurts SO MUCH to walk on it. I told my OB/GYN to see if it was preg related and she said go to the ER asap thinking it was a blood clot! It's not so the Dr says b/c there are no major veins in ur foot and we did 3 x rays and nothing. It's obviously something bc my foot hurts so much! Hr gave me a foot bootie to wear and called it a day LOL! Thanks! Has anyone had these same probs or ne thing like it? I mean u think the ER would kno!

I had my period from August 23-28. I normally don't have sore breasts, but every time they are touched, they hurt so bad. I recently started the pill. Is the pill causing my sore breasts? Or am I growing again? What can I do to make it go away??

Ever since I got my first Depo shot, about 2 months ago, I've been bleeding regularly. During that time I passed a big thing the doctor called a cast, that was the lining of my uterus, and anyway I'm still bleeding. I made a doctor appointment but I'm wondering could it be the depo shot?
The point of that shot is so you can have sex and not get pregnant, not have a period so you can't have sex.
I didn't even know my body had that much blood, and I feel horrible. Does anybody know what's wrong?

Hi, I am a 17 year old 6th form student in full time education from Leeds and I was wondering if I could get braces even if my dentist says I don't need them? I go to the dentist every 6 months (as you should) and each time he says I don't need braces. The thing is, I really was them because my teeth would look so much better after the treatment. I have been referred to the orthordontist (spelling) a few times and I keep hoping he will he will give me them but again, he says I don't need them. I have heard that if you are under 18 and in full time education you can have braces fitted for free. Is this still the case if I request them rather than being referred?

Thanks.

My hands, feet get cold and tingle and my head tingles and being sent to a Rehmotolgist from my neurologist cause Carpal tunnel and P.N is not the problem but my cousins told me it could be due to no exercises or not in shape and said if i exercise the tingling and cold will go away? Look at my other questions so you can help me with my problem. 2 years and the problem not better? 
My head does not get cold though. And yes members of my family do have diabetes but i am not sure if I do.

Also been on several medications for what I have Perphial Neurology (I think that the way to spell it) but the medications not working. 
Also my hands and feet get red sometimes and nails get blue only when cold. My muceles/bones get soar.

Other members of my family dont exercises either and they dont have any problems?
