The last time i have been medically checked out was January 10 and there I was given a blood test and a CT scan and all the tests came back negative. I went for a different reason other than my heart. I have been under close to alot of stress for 3 months and last wednesday after running in gym I noticed a pain underneath my right breast and it wasn't consistent until the next day and now 4 days later i just feel discomfort there. my family has no heart attack or heart disease history. Could this just be a pulled muscle or am I having some sort of heart failure? I'm only 18 years old.

I woke up lastnight with a pain on my heart.. this pain was still prevalent today but much better than lastnight. I went to lie down this afternoon being very tired and the pain is now much worse. Somehow I don't think it is a heart-attack but something else.. could a hernia, an ulcer or something like that be the cause?? I have no medical and would have to go to a Government Hospital in the worst of circumstances should it persist.. It is excruciating painful though

I posted before about my friends dad having a heart attack, followed by heart failure. He was released from hospital 3 weeks ago, and 2 days ago had an angioplasty. From what I know he was told that all of his arteries are clogged, and that they won't be able to do an angiogram. He was released from the hospital and told to rest, but he got admitted again today and apparently isn't in a very good condition. What happens now? Does he have to do bypass surgery (from what I know that is the next step?)

He is currently on the following medications : plavix, trihemic, furohesimide, digoxin (forgive me if I have the spelling wrong)

What are his chances? And what do you think is the real story here? For some reason I believe that there is alot left unsaid, and that there is some need for other opinions on his health issue. They said he was to unstable to even do an angioplasty, and then they do one? I don't know, some clarity would be helpful.

Just wondering, what is the proper way to control a bleeding shunt. Of course there is a high flow of arterial blood comming out of the site. I've seen a nurse apply arterial/venous pressure above and below the site of the bleeding shunt. Can I get confirmation on that?

I am an 18 year old, fairly active female who has been getting chest pains and heart palputations for about 6 months. I have recently had blood taken and am awaiting the resluts but am worried. I have also been getting night sweats and feeling light headed and really tired. When i went to the doctor he put me on beta blockers to try and reduce the speed of my heart beat but its still far too fast and im concerned. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks

I'm looking for sources or answers to the question of what terminology and what treatment was used in the 19th century by doctors in the case of heart disease and what we now call heart attacks, mycocardical infarctions and other heart problems. I am researching this topic for a novelist friend. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The main question is what did 19th century doctors call what we call heart attacks and how did they treat them

I’m definitely not a regular smoker, but from time to time I go with friends to a pub for a drink and drink goes quite well accompanied with a cigarette. What is the possibility to get cancer or heart disease with 3-5 cigarettes per week? What other nasty diseases can I get? Any comments will be appreciated.
