Hello...I have been on blood pressure meds. since I was18, both my grandfathers died in their 40's from a heart attack, my dad had a blockage at 32 and had triple bypass surgery at 44. I have ashma but was having more severe attacks with chest pains when I excersised and just laying down. I went to doc. thinking it was something else and had an abnormal EKG. Are there other reasons for an abnormal EKG that could not be serious, like because I was nervous or stressed? I am having a stress test done on friday with a treadmill but my dad is worried I am not having a sonagram with it, should I be? If the stress test is fine the doc. said everything is ok...but I still will be worried b/c of the 1st reading and family history. Am i worrying too much? I would greatly appreciate your help.....

My Grandma had a cancerous tumor removed from her colon back on June 29, 07 and needed 3 months with a temp colostomy bag to heal properly. The doctors gave her some chemo options for treatment. She is debating on which she should do first....Should she have the chemo first before her reverse colostomy surgery? Or should she have the colostomy surgery first and then have chemo treatments once she has healed? I am just wondering if anyone has experienced this situation.....any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for your time, Jennifer

I am getting the upper GI in two days, i went to the doc yesterday for my upper stomach pains, extreme bloating and burning under my breastbone and burning under my armpits and sides of my breast are very tender. The doc scheduled an upper Gi to find out if there is an infection or ulcer and or polyps in my stomach causing all this discomfort.

My question is will this test tell what is actually causing all this discomfort and or will this just be another day off of work with no results?

I am currently taking nexium and carafate together which seem to be helping but I can barely eat w/out becoming very uncomptable until the food digest.

I was just told by a cardiologist that I have a bicuspid aortic valve. I am 25 and have never been told this before. No one has ever head any thing wrong with my heart and I had an ECOcardio done 7 years ago and nothing was found. Why now, 7 years later after a new ECo did they suddenly see this? I figure this means that I have always had this but it seems to be making itself noticable now.
I went to the doc in the first place because I recently starting having palpitations.

I know it's something wrong with my tubes I read in a book where thay said if you have an STD that lives in your body it could have affected your tubes or scare the tissues when it entered the body. well I've known for like 2yrs at first I didnt care until I read it could be a harm to me and my body.
I'm 21 now and just dont know how to bring it up to my doctor to check me.

My BF knows i have herpes but i don't take my meds everyday although we do use a condom most of the time i knew the chances were there of him getting the virus but my doc said he most likely has already caught it. so should i tell my bf what my doc said and tell him to get tested or shoud i be what i think would be disrespectful and keep what my doc said to myself. my BF has a bad temper to certain things and he doesn't like discussing the fact that i have H. he keeps putting off getting tested every time he says something about getting tested he never does.
