Here are the BENEFITS of saturated fats

2007-03-17 07:20:15 · 5 answers · asked by Mike M 1

I have been having this giddiness feeling (shakiness) and chest pain for several days, especially when I take a deep breath. My heart felt like it took a "deep breath" and now I feel it pounding at times. I also have a weakness feeling- no energy! I know they say some people never know that they suffered a heart attack until later down the road with an EKG.
I have had pulmonary embolisms that seem to have similar symptoms.
I have a heart stent with several other blockages, one that can't be repaired due to it's location. My cardiologist told me it will eventually be a heart attack.
Just wondering if any medical professionals on here might have some input to offer. I will definitely be seeing my cardiologist but am curious! I wonder about an arythmyia???
Thanks for any input you may offer!

Are you aware that unbridled anti saturate vitriol is NOT supported by scientific evidence. Yes, you read that right.



Saturated fat has NEVER been implicated as causal in coronary heart disease.

In fact it is very good for you.

I got shock by industrial bun toaster which had faulty power cord and on/off switch, at the time, I had a stanlise steel tray in each hand, steel cap boots and was not touching any other surface it was like I got a surge of electricity through me. There was no cut out switch in toaster, or building.
2 yrs ago I had a baby, It was stated at the time I had a irregular heart beat but there was no concern,I had emergancy c section to have my baby and there was no concern about my heart beat then, nothing was even documented. I am still undergoin testing and am currently on on medication to slow my heart beat down. I have approx 3 extra beats per 10 sec. Heart specalist says my heart is to weak to have been caused by the shock!

I am once again confused and upset. The Dr told me that I had
a fatty liver and that in order to get better I had to diet, I am pre-diebetic and
so I went on a low fat diet. I was put on asacol, it has been a few weeks and I have
fallen ill with bronchitis and Now - Plueirsy. My regular dr did bloodwork and it
shows high liver enzymes and NOW low protein. I am in terrible pain with the
lung condition and often can hardly make it through the day, I come home and go
to bed for the rest of the night. I am feeling sick to my stomach and severe
fatique. I am at my wits end My mother says that I need a different dr, I just don't know.

I have severe anxiety, migraines,OCD, Bi-polar, ADHD,depression and high cholestrol,High blood pressure, which is around160/105. How do I get him to understand he is going to give me a heart attack? I think he thinks BP means nothing. I am only 21 and I feel like I wanna die. The doctors dont care, and I cant live like this anymore. I cant stop crying, I hurt all the time, especially when we argue. My head and chest hurts... all the way up my arm. My grandfather died at 49 from a heart attack and my mom had her first one in her early 30s. Can I have a heart attack soon? He thinks I am just joking when I say he is killing me, but Im not, between the suicidal and the head and chest pain, I dont know which is worse!!!

Whenever I get upset my chest and head hurts the most. I feel as if I almost cant breath both in my chest and like someone is choking me...

Please Help!
