Heart Diseases

I know its acid in your stomach rising up to the area of your heart but is seperate. Won't the acid eventually eat away that area?

I have consistently for the past 6 months checked my blood pressure and despite lowering my sodium intake and exercising more it has not moved at all. I continue to exercise daily and avoid salty foods as best I can and see no change. I know the effects of hypertension are serious and should be treated but information on pre-hypertension is not distinct in what should be done. My brother follows a very strict healthy diet (very low salt and lots of fruits and vegetables), exercises more than me (he rides his bike to work about 4 miles one way), and despite being taller than me and weighing less (5’11” and 150 pounds, I’m 5’7” 155 pounds) he has a B.P. that’s about the same (falls in the range considered pre-hypertension). Are we destined to be on B.P. Medication or is there something reasonable that can be incorporated into our lives to help control our B.P. It seems to me that medication will be the eventually outcome but I’m still holding onto the hope of controlling my B.P. on my own.

past three years. It's not in one particular place, I have it mostly on the left side, and the middle, and sometimes radiates to the right side. Everytime I go to the doctor they say everythings fine which includes: the heart, lungs, breathing, etc. I always have trouble breathing when the chest pain occurs. The pain has gradually gotten worse, both in the amount of occurences, and the intensity on a scale of 1 to 10 ten being the most severe I would rate the pain as an 8 or 9. When I was around 13 or 14 years old a speacialst had sent me to a pediatric cardiologist to see if I could take some medicine. While there I had an EKG done, and the results said that one side of the heart is slower than the other and I think that's my right side, and that a normal heartbeat beats in the following order chamber 1, 2, 3, and 4. Finally, in August of 2006 when I was 17 years old I had experienced all the signs of a heart attack my dad had said that I was having one, it didn't seem like it. Help.

Has anyone had this procedure performed on them?

Are there other, more natural, options that can obtain the same effect?

Hi my name is Ally and Im new to this, so lets start from the begining. On March 30 2007 was having a normal day then BOOM all of a sudden had shortness of breathe arms numb chest pain I felt like I was going to die husband took my to the local EMS station and I pass out along the way at the hospital I was told I had an anxiety/panic attack. a week later I still felt bad went back to the ER and was told it could be my heart cause of all the chest pain etc etc..went to a cardiologist was put on a heart monitor for a month everything normal, ekg's all normal echo ekg all normal. I had a nuclear stress test firt part laying under the camera resting everything was normal had to stop in the middle of it due to a reaction to the dye they used. went back 2 weeks later to do an echo stress test ran on the treadmill 6-8 minutes jumped off and they did an echo of my heart which I heard was better then the nuclear stress cause the echo picks up more everything came back normal..what can this be.

My husband was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure and I am looking for a home blood pressure monitor that is not only accurate, but easy to use. Hopefully one that isn't too expensive either, although I understand you get what you pay for. Does anyone have any experience with these or recommendations?

Or something that sounds similar?

Also if someone had a heart disease and was told they only had 6 months left to live what sort of state of health would they be in?
Would they still be out at the pub, walking around fine ect???

with blockages of between 95 and 100%. My questions are:
1. Can you direct me to a site which explains the procedure in simple terms
2. What caused it? He's 62, doesn't smoke, was a champion squash player, a little overweight, drinks wine in moderation.
3. Is it heriditary? (My mother died of a heart attack when she was 76)
4. At 48, should I be be having my heart checked?
