This is not paid for by insurance and the ultra sound is about half the cost of mechanical CT scanners or Electron Beam Tomography (EBT or EBCT) technology which they claim is the best. Which has the best chance of finding cardiovascular disease

I was also hypoglycaemic and had been having difficulties getting my blood sugars up. I have been hypo before, but never with these symptoms. Was this a faint or a TIA (mini stroke?)

Hi, my regular m.d. doctor told me that my "bad" cholestrol was extremely to high (@ 290), and my "good" cholestrol is extremely low (@ 30). her point being, that i was in a one in twelve chance of having heart problems and/or stroke victim. i am a forty two year old lady, (if that helps in any way,,didn't help me puttin down my age!). okay, now my question, everywhere i go to get information on how to lower my cholestrol, it ends up asking me for a credit card. does anyone know of any book, website, anything~basically that i can just get information without trading my first born?

I have ejection fraction 50% - auto accident provoked massive MI with huge scarring in all walls. I have normal lipids, kidney, liver, blood chemistries. but I am in agony from swollen legs and swollen abdomen & liver. Edema did not respond at all to LASIX, torsemide. HCTZ. No diuretic effects.whatever.
I was advised to try Metalazone, a powerful diuretic of another class. I visited an MD today and he insisted , "Oh try the torsemide another 2 weeks, then I'll consider giving you asmall dose of Metalazone, I reminded him that I tried torsemide 2 weeks already, no results & I'm badly swelling with water. He insisted that it was early to try Matalazone, & it was too powerful &he worried for my safety.But he admitted that I was critically swollen with edema from CHF - yet denied me any Rx for this alternate diuretic. I'm in agony from pain in my body and can't bend my legs to step anymore. Someone please advise me. He smirked at me and said " don't go on the Internet so much"

I was at the ER yesterday and was told that my EKG changed. Something about the QRS widening. What does that mean and how dangerous is it? I have followed through with my Dr. via phone and he gave me the name of a cardiologist to see.

Some months ago I got angry very much and I had palpitations, then it was ok, but I had them again from time to time. But that did not bother me that much.

And a few weeks ago they went away suddenly and I got angry again and they started again.

What happened to my heart?
