i am 35 yr old female, just a couple pounds underweight with a heart murmur since i was 18, maybe longer. i was once over 200 pounds due to multiple pregnancies, but that was only for a period of about 3 years. i was not overweight before that time and have now kept the weight off for the last 4 years. i am told i have an enlarged heart and moderate aortic regurgitation. my cardiologist says the time i was obese caused my heart to be enlarged. i have chest pain and shortness of breath (not on exertion) occasionally and i am worried i am a heart attack waiting to happen but he seems to be blowing me off saying i am really too young for any of this to be very serious. what causes these things in a young person?

If you have then pray for her!!!!! If not, she is a girl that found out she had cancer like 4 years ago, they told her that she only had months to live. She recently was hospitalized on acount of seizures and her heart stopped. That was 2 weeks ago. Now, she is doing great and everyone thought she was going to die. She may be going home as early as Wednesday. Pray for her health everyone, because she is a miracle only God could make.

I found out my boyfriends ex-girlfirend has herpes. She cheated on him during their 6 year relationship and got it and did not tell him. Well she had an outbreak and he was sexually active with her during it. She then went on Valtrex for the rest of the 4 years of the relationship, and he just assumed he had it ( so he kept sleepin with her). Well, he SAYS he had some irritation down there one day and got tested. They stuck a long Q-Tip inside his thing and swabbed and he says he doesnt have it. I dont understand how you sleep with someone for 4 years kowing they have herpes. . when you dont have it. DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO ME. I am really worried .. I am pregnant. . and i KNOW i do not have it, because I made sure my doc test for it at my first prenatal exam. Do you think he is lying to me? Should I make him get tested? I've never seen anything that looks like herpes . .but it still worried me .. especially because I am pregnant.

I knew Splenda is done with a powerful insecticide. Could it be dangerous for my pets? (I have a cat and a dog).

Im a male, 33 yrs old, type 2 diabetic.

I very rarely run "high", I closesly monitor my sugar/carb intake.

However, Im wondering how low can it go before it can cause trouble, and what side effects of running low will I experience?

like daily. Because see, my grandmother can't have a lot of potassium because of her kidneys. So like what's normal so that we (my family and myself) can know how much to let her have; what foods to eat. I found a list of foods that are low in potassium but my mom really wants to know what's a normal amount, you know, so she can make sure my grandma doesnt get that much. Thanks yall.

I have no family history of cancers at all except an aunt who died from breast cancer. But, I have had ulcerative colitis for around 5-6 years in the entire colon (and 1 yrbefore that on the left side only). I am going to start my yearly screenings in a week..(full colonoscopy with biopsies) apparently because my risk of cancer increases after living with UC for that long.. should i be worried or are the chances still very slim? I ve been in remission for 5 years now but i read that the period in which the disease is in remission has no connection to the chances of getting cancer.. any thoughts?

My husband's father died of complications of diabetes when he was 53 about ten years ago and here recently his uncle (who already had both legs aputated) just got scheduled to have both hands aputated. So now my stubborn husband is finally going to go to the doctor, but in order to make an appointment online I need to know who he needs to see. It is easier to do it online instead of the automated system so i need help. We have good insurance and all I just can't figure out what kind of doctor he needs. thanks

What does one person need to be concerned with when he or she who has herpes begins to have sex with a partner who also has herpes? Can both of you get a double dose of the herpes or what? Any answers will be nice.

I have hypothyroidism, lately I am feeling depressed and have had slowly been gaining weight. Trying to lose the weight is becoming more difficult. I read about a product called Alvidar. Has anyone used this and what type of results have you achieved? I am on Synthroid but it seems to not be helping my symptoms even though my blood tests show normal thyroid range. Any comments on what may have worked for you?

Well my gran has just died and i suppose I'm coming to terms with it but it's my grandad I'm worried about. He's okay I suppose because well we could see it coming - she was in hospital most weeks. But any he's got diabetes and goes into a hypoglycemic coma about three times a year which is apparently quite a lot. When he went into one it was okay because my gran could phone 999 quite easily and so it was never fatal. But now she's gone who's going to phone? And because you can't actually tell you're going into one then emergency cords would be useless. So what I'm really trying to say is that there has got to be more than just my grandad witht his and how do they alert someone when it happens? otherwise he could die and I'm not going to let happen! And as we're living in Germany he won't live with us. He won't live with anyone come to it because he's too independent. So please help. Thankyou
