National Wear Red Day

Today, February 2, is National Wear Red Day, an observance aimed at raising heart disease awareness. Heart disease remains the number one killer of both American men and women. In fact, many women are surprised to learn that heart disease claims the lives of more women than breast cancer. More specifically, one in three American women will die of heart disease. But it doesn't have to be that way. "Today we have the knowledge and tools to prevent heart attacks and strokes,"

every now and then i get a sensation like my heart stops (for about 3 seconds), with a heavy pressure over my chest. then, it's like it finally 'takes a breath' and beats again.
then, the other day, i was sitting when this occurred again, but this time i got a head rush (like a blood pressure response when you stand up too quickly - but i was just sitting); during which i had to just close my eyes with head in hand until it finished about 7 seconds later.
is this something to be concerned about?

I have an angioplasty last June and was in the midst of trying to conceive. Should I try again ? Or pregnancy and raising kids are too much a toll on my heart ?

I probably should already know, and I know it causes heart and kidney failure, but what else is there? I know I'm stupid.

I tried looking it up on Wikipedia, but didn't really understand it. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it?

I think it's called Pulmonary Stenosis or Pulmonary Valve Stenosis.

I want to know what it is and if it's dangerous?
And what safety precautions you should take if you have it?

And any other information would be great. Thanks! ^_^

heart murmurs. we had tests done & various out-patient appointments in B'ham Children's hospital & were told we'd probably grow out of them & they were nothing serious but we might find ourselves with a bit less energy than others. we were also told to have antibiotics before tooth extractions.
Yrs later I went to give blood & was told I couldn't do it with a heart murmur. I went back to my GP to check what type it was to make certain I really couldn't donate and he said it was an innocent 'flow' murmur after listening to my chest. I have given blood quite a few times since and had a tooth out with no problems and no antibiotics. the thing is, people pick up this murmur quite quickly when listening to my chest (midwives etc) without me alerting them to it and i'm confused as to what I should be doing with donating blood and tooth abstractions etc. did this GP mis-read my murmur? It feels like my heart skips a beat when I have done lots of exercise - is this a normal symptom? help!!
