Any signs at all. I would really like to know.

Why can't doctors just check for everything wrong with us.. we pay them... why do we have to find out ourselves?

So yeah.. what are the signs?

This has been happening to me for the last 6 or 7 years. What happens is I get a weird lightheaded feeling and my chest feels like it tightens up and then my heart does this thing where it beats really hard and fast for a couple seconds. And I feel fine afterwards. It usually only happens once or twice a week but sometimes it happens multiple times in one day. What could it be?

My fiance has tetralogy of fallot. He has had 2 valve replacements in his life, but is 35 and overall healthy. Nobody in his family ever had this. He is very hesitant about us having children because of his battle with it (scared he won't be around) and his fear he will pass it on. He is not interested in adopting, so if the hereditary chance is high, then we will not have children at all. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

It must leave him strong and healthy to the end, heart failure maybe but predictable and irrepairable. For instance he may have some other problem that would prevent a transplant or surgical correction but be able to perform normal tasks until the last day. He simply cannot suffer long term degenerating illness. Any ideas?

I've had sex with 4 men and 8 women but I still have it. They make it sound, on the news, like it's so easy to get. I sure got it easy enough, but it seems especially hard to give away. I'm tired of having this AIDS.

Why don't we spend billions on research to find cures for cancer, AIDS and all other diseases instead of wasting all this money on a phony and destructive war in Iraq?

My son is 15 months old and he has BAV (bicuspid atrial valve) & aortic insuffieciency. From what I know so far from DR visits is that he has a leaky aortic valve which can cause narrowing, at this point he is in the trivial to mild numbers of leak. However when someone tells you that your son has a heart condition its not trivial to you. He sees a cardiologist every 6 months for an echo and ekg and I have been told that he will prob. have valve replacement in a few years, but I dont understand when I read on here people who have grown out of this? Is that possible that a valve can repair itself? And why would a dr only want to see him 2 times a year? Its like they tell you its serious, but we'll see him in 6 months, it cant be that serious right? Wouldnt they want to see him every month or something. He has no blueing around lips, great pulses, great oxygen, Am I just overreacting by panicking all the time, I guess I am just a paranoid parent, but this over whelmes me every day.
