Due to being in college, I need a flexible schedule to be able to work somewhere. A family friend offered me a job working for her cleaning company, but I found out on my first day that I would be around ALOT of cigarette smoke. I have severe asthma that is very easily triggered by cigarette smoke. How do I quit that job after only one day and still retain the friendship?

I was born with congenital heart disease - Ebsteins Anomaly - (ASD and deformed tricuspid valve) - 1989 I had OHS where the hole was closed and the valve reconstructed. Lately, I have become quite tired, and after having a echocadiograph, found my heart has become enlarged due to the valve not closing properly and extra pressure now placed on my heart. My average heart rate is about 40 bpm and cardiologists do not want to operate on the valve again because it is too dangerous. Only when it begins to fail will they do something. Is it true that doctors don't like to operate on the tricuspid valve or should I be getting a 3rd opinion?

No anemia, and a hypothyroid is supposed to look different in teens and children than it does in an adult. Any ideas?
