Heart Diseases

I am 18 years old and healthy. They found a murmur in my heart when I was 14 and I had an EKG and a stress test and the murmur was deemed innocent. I'm currently in training for a half marathon (its at the end of April). I was having some chest pain when I ran so I talked to my mom (I'm off at my first year of college) and she got me an appointment with a pediatric cardiologist. The lady did an EKG and like an ultra sound type thing where they looked at my heart on the screen. That was last friday. They saw something abnormal so they are doing a test tomorrow where they inject dye and watch it go through my heart. They said I could run as long as I didn't have any pain. Well no pain, but yesterday after I finished running my fingertips, toes, and lips were blue/purple. I talked to the cardiologist and she said it was an indicator and to not run until the tests have been performed. Any ideas what could be wrong here, and what did she mean by it is an indicator? Sorry this is so long!

I am non-responsive to the various diuretic drugs. Besides their direct toxicity in me, NONE OF THEM make me urinate at all! torsemide, Zaroxylyn, HCTZ have done nothing for me. Besides, my body is in pain & overloaded with water in the tissue spaces themselves & fatty tissues - so how can this edema be "reabsorbed back where it came from - the BLOODSTREAM ? Then if this edema water would reenter the bloodstream & then if my kidneys would urinate it out - The tide would turn in my favor, for a respite.
but right now, I have painful, swollen thighs, ankles, calves, cannot even bend or flex to climb a shallow step or climb a stool or ladder.
the rigidity of my legs is tormenting. My lungs feel gasping for each breath, upon slightest exertion. I restrict liquids to less than l liter daily, virtually no sodium, at all, yet seems to have no effect, My abdomen is hard to the touch & bloated badly. I'm alone, uninsured. Anyone else fail with diuretics???

My husband is 65 and in pretty good health. His blood pressure has been okay but occasionally was 130/90. Last week his pressure spiked to 210/150 and we went to the hospital. They addmited him and brought the pressure down. They did a cardiac cat scan, ultras sound of the heart, several ekg and blood tests. He was discharged and put on 25mg of metratroporal. The next day he went to his regular doctor and he put him on 50 mg. and did a kidney test. His blood pressure was fine for a few days and is now l40/95. He called the doctor and he said to take more medication. Does it take a while to regulate blood pressure? We are at a loss as to what is going on. This is our first experience with hypertension. Do you think all of the tests which came out fine, are enough? Are we missing any? Also, his stomach is upset today, does the medication do this? Should he have had a cat scan of the brain? Thank you very much.

This question was asked and thankfully good answers were received."Can legal action against Hospital succeed ? A person got his wife aged 49 admitted into a hospital with the complaint of severe chest pain. She died in about four hours. No ECG was taken though it was prescribed. She was sedated and yet she was made to walk through corridors to a washroom. There was no history of any prior heart complaint."
Is it likely that the doctor will strengthen the case against the hospital in his concern for defense? Can he claim legal costs if he is acquitted of any wrong-doing?

I went in for my high blood pressure today. I had an EKG (which turned out fine), and the doc ordered an ultrasound of my kidneys and some artery along with a chest x-ray for tomorrow. He was in a hurry and I didn't get a chance to ask him why. Wyy check these three things? Thank you
