Okay, so I already have Bigeminal PVCs. Chest Pain everyday (sharp, little stabs). That, sadly, is normal for me. I am 20, not overweight, relatively healthy I would say.

Today however, I have a new feeling in my heart. It kind of tickles and is really irritating. I don't like it. I don't know what it is but I want it to stop. Is this something worth seeing the doctor for? I'm tired of going and hearing that everything else is too normal and I am too young to have any real problem. I would rather keep my $20 copay.

Thanks a bunch!

My dr. wants to monitor my QT intervals because of a medication I take for neuropathy. My QT/QTC is 358/406 ms and QTcB is 440 ms and QTcF is 411. Does any of this mean my QT intervals are bad and my medication might be causing this? I do have mitral valve prolapse but no problems with it. Also it says QRS dur is 103 ms, vent rate 90bpm, PR int 156ms, PRT axes 70 76 39, avg RR is 660 ms.

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.

What has heart to do with emotions and emotional thinking?. When we feel more emotional, does heat beat faster or does it cause any functional degradation? What is the link between the emotions in the brain and heart? Why do doctors advice heart patients not to get too emotional or do anything that will make them emotional?

I felt pain on my chest along with pain on the back and left arm. It was continious and I sweated too. I went to the doctor and he has suggested me some sleeping pills for reducing my stress. Am I checked on the heart diseases properly?

I am 38 years old. Diagnosed 7 years ago. I seem to have waves of symptoms over the years. Sometimes I go a long time with no palpitations and then other times I get clusters of palpitations. I have been prescribed a beta blocker to use "as needed" and have been taking them more often lately. I have had a lot of stress this month as both of my parents have had serious heart related events. My mother had a heart attack and my father had bypass surgery, all this month. I was told 7 years ago that it was mild and that if anything was going to end my life it would be something else other than the prolapsed valve. My question is if the palpitations increasing is a sign of a worsening valve?

I'm 26 years old... Physically I look fit.. but I don't eat healthy at all... I mostly eat out about 5 times a week...mostly mcdonalds... or taco bell.... and I also have a veeery bad temper... and I also worry way too much... Now with that said... It hasbeen a couple of years now that I don't check with a doctor for physicals and exams... But for a couple of yeqars now I have noticed a mild sharp pain on my chest... It would come and go... sometimes the pain would be right above my left breast and spread under my armpits... my neck... and I also have had mild pain on my left arm.... I could be confusing it with muscle pain from work... but what bothers me is the sharp chest pain I be experiencing.... Is it possible for a 26 year old to develope heart problems?... I'm worried but don't want to run into conclusions and look stupid at the doctors office... just yet... at first I thought it was from anxiety and stress... any opinions?... please help... thanks..

It started at the age of 16 after getting up from a sleeping position. I was able to make it back to the bed and prevent a blackout but now, I make my way to the bed to lie down and still blackout. It's this awful feeling in my upper abdomen like someone's sucking the life out of me with a vaccum cleaner. I was tested on the treadmill approx. 8yrs. ago and did great and then suddenly, right after I blacked out, I was told my blood pressure dropped very low (called syncope). The Cardiologist shrugged it off because my EKG was okay. Running the steps or just jumping rope makes my heart race and that awful feeling comes.

yesterday I was playing Halo 3 after I ate dinner, I was getting a bit aggravated and then I suddenly felt lightheaded, I felt a bit flushed, and the area around my diaphgram felt like it had a bit more pressure. I felt no pains in my shoulders or extremities, I did kinda feel like my heart beat was a bit faster. Had no difficulties breathing but shifting around different positions altered the way I felt. I've never felt hearburn before so I'm not sure if this is it. Does this seem liek heartburn, angina, or something else that I might be overlooking?

I had a double bypass May 15, 2007 and have been having the same symptoms as before the bypass. If my arteries are reblocked which will be the process? Has this happened to anyone out there or anyone you know? I will see my cardiologist this week since the symptoms are getting worse.

Is there a good source, like consumer reports, that has done impartial reviews of the different brand names? I have heard that a lot of the monitors out there are very unreliable.

My husband went to the doctor today and his blood pressure was 280 over 175. How dangerous is that? He said the doc wanted him to go to the hospital, but he refused. So he got 2 prescriptions instead... Seems to me that's pretty high... When I was pregnant, my blood pressure shot up to 165 over 100 and my doc was VERY concerned.

I had a blood donation today. Well, I tried to. When the nurse put the neddle in my arm the blood was very slow moving down the tube. And then it stopped and they said I was done. I never got to even get the blood all the way down the tube! Why is that???

When they took the nedle out it bled a lot!?!?!

Last time I was at the doctor they drew blood and they had the same problem!?!?

It there something wrong with me or my heart???
