Heart Diseases

I am a twenty year old male, weigh 240 pounds, and play college football. I do not consider myself to be in outstanding shape but I am currently in season so I am assuming that I'm in pretty decent shape. My resting heart rate on an average of 45 beats per minute and I feel like thats too slow for a guy my size. I don't drink often, probably once a week. But when i do drink i drink excessively to the tune of 20 beers a night or more. Also, when i'm drunk i occassionly use spit tobacco. Dont know if that has anyhting to do with it but I figure it doesnt hurt sayin it. I would appreciate it if someone could help me out. Thanks.

The old pacemaker caused a sever drop in blood pressure. Since a new one was put in, the blood pressure has been high (147/92). Could this be caused by the new pacemaker? The last doctor that checked said only one chamber was working of the 2 chamber pacemaker. The technician said nothing was wrong.?????

I was wondering if anyone has a ICD that was recently recalled. Mine was one of them but the doctors havent done anything. I talked with them the day after I found out about it and that was it! Now 3-4 weeks have passed and I havent heard anything and Im scared my ICD wont work!

If you've taken all the different tests for heart disease ie: stress test, ekg, blood work up, cat scans, etc. and all have come back negative (thank goodness!) what can be causing the tightness in the chest or shortness of breath, etc. Can this be just a figment of my imagination (I'm sure the Dr. thinks I'm a lunatic by now)...Thank you for your responses in advance. It's just very troubling to me

Does your body go numb and you can't feel a thing and does your heart stop pumping? Or is there more to it than that?

I've dealt with anxiety for almost half a year now and its really bothering me. I thought I was going to have a heart attack one day because my chest hurt, but it turned out to be the cause of costo chondritis. However, the doctor also said I had anxiety. Since that day, I've started to pay really close attention to my heart beat, and always find it hard to breathe only when i do pay attention to my breathing? How can I stop this anxiety problem? Also, my costo chondritis never healed, can that be causing the hard to breathe problem? I'm 16 btw. ty.

About once a month, I will just be sitting around doing homework or something, when my heart starts beating SUPER fast, and it doesn't have normal beats. My heart kind of flutters. I don't really know how to explain it. Does anybody know what this is??

there is probably no answer for this but, i'll ask anyway. during heart transplantation, provided the new heart is perfectly healthy, what could cause the left ventricle to stop working after being placed in the body?

I had a radiofrequency ablation for AV node re entry in 2005. I have palpitations, but am not able to flip into re entry anymore. I get freaked out now when I can feel my heart palpating. I usually take a couple deep breaths. Do you know anything about this. Do you think I will ever need a pacemaker down the road because of my AV node revision? How do people know they need a pacemaker? Do they pass out? I go see the heart MD in 2 months.
Please dont answer if you dont know anything about this stuff. No guessers or wannabeees.

I have always been the type of person who has low blood pressure and a low heart rate, but for the past two weeks my pulse has been way over 100, highest was 190 (beats a minute), and my blood pressure has been really high, 189/118, i am always nauseaus, dizzy, and light headed, and when i lay on my stomach with my head above my chest, i lose my hearing, like when your ears pop. I dont know what is going on i have been to two different ER's and both doctors were unable to tell me what was wrong...all they said was they didnt know what was going on. Im just hoping that there is someone out there who can tell me something about what is wrong with me. :/

I am 30 and have had high blood pressure since I was pregnant 4 years ago. I eat healthy - low salt, low saturated fat, lots of fruits and veggies, lean meat and whole grains. I exercise every day. I am thin, not overweight. I am not unusually stressed out, I'm happy with my life and not having any problems - just day-to-day annoyances. I have had some blood tests done and they were normal. I've tried several medications and nothing seems to be working to lower it. Are there any younger people out there with high blood pressure - and what caused it? I would like to know if anyone has a disease or condition that causes high blood pressure that I can rule out or test for. I just want to make sure my Dr. isn't missing anything. THANK YOU!!!!

But my cardiologist put me on blood thinner - metoprolol - and when I went for my 3month check up my blood pressure was 90/50. I thought that was low but was told it just meant my heart didn't have to work as hard. I also take xanax for my panic disorder and xanax also lowers my heart rate. So - I don't want to take the metoprolol and need something for my heart which won't make my blood pressure so low. Would really appreciate some suggestions. Thanks so much.
