They are going to check mine again in a few months and if it is still high I think he is going to put me on medication, which I don't want!! Please tell me your story about what worked for you. Thanks.

immediately corrected with surgery because:

a. the hole will cause the flow of blood to reverse in the heart.
b. the hole will allow blood to leak out of the heart and the child could bleed to death
c. the hole will cause blood to flow in the reverse direction back into veins instead of the arteries.
d. the hole allows mixing both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood which reduces oxygen delivery to tissues

and later claimed that taking the drug was partially responsible for saving their life. Aspirin blocks the action of platlets which form blood clots. How does this help during a heart attack?

I went to the doctor today. He gave me my blood test results. Everything seems to be fine except my (good) cholesterol part. He said my cholesterol is 0.75 when it should be at least 1.25. He told me to exercise, drink red wine, or eat foods with Omega 3 like codfish/salmon/etc.

Anymore ideas for me to make it higher?

Hi,
Recently I was rushed to the emergency room because I was unconcious, my breathing was very shallow and my blood pressure and heart rate were starting to drop dramatically, the paramedic said when we neared the hospital I started to "crash" so they called ahead to recuss..
Once in recuss it took them 3 hours to stabilise me to a stable but critical condition and I was in intensive care unit in a coma on life support with a nasal gastric tube in and a cathather..

Everyone is saying I came very close to death because I went into respiratory arrest but I just can't seem to believe them, I view near death as when a person needs to be defibrillated and their heart stops beating and what not..

Is what I went through close to death?

READ ALL OF THIS INFORMATION!!!!

I have been smoking for two days now. Tomorrow will be my third day. I'm a light smoker. Four or five cigarettes a day. I don't even fnish them off. When I inhale, I don't go past my mouth. Today, I had moderate to severe chest pain and the pain was still going and a got a little dizzy and I had a hot flash and I felt funny inside. My heart rhythm is funky, too. My heart will be pounding a little fast, and then I hear a small pop and my heart beat gets kind of slow almost like it's struggling to beat. My mom was born with a birth defect of the aorta. They checked me for it and they said I didn't have it. I'm pretty sure my heart isn't struggling to beat. I have frequent chest pain not chronic but a lot and I don't worry about it because I'm too young for these problems. Is this a heart murmur or something else? Throw out your opinion.

HI
I am a 55 year old male, I suffered a heart attack in June 2007, I had a stent fitted, and upon my discharge from hospital I was perscribed Metoprolol 12.5mg twice a day.
After a period of about 6-8 weeks my blood pressure was still high, (160/100) constant, so my Metoprolol was increased to 25mg twice a day.
I have been on this dosage now for about 10 weeks, My bp is down to around 115/72-120/80- with my heart rate at around 53-55bpm.
Thing is I have no energy at all, I have a terrible job getting out of bed in the mornings and quite often lie in bed till 11 oclock, this is not like me, I used to always be up and dressed by 8am every day.
I dont know if I feel depressed or lethatgic, but I find it very difficult to get motivated to do anything if you know what I mean.
I do suffer from depression and have done for the past 15 years. I take Mirtazapine and Prozac for that.
Thing is I am wondering if I am taking too much Metropolol, as I feel very tired indeed.

I have a blood test scheduled to test my cholesterol after a twelve hour fast to be done this week. I hadn't planned on doing it today but I just woke up, it's been twelve hours since I ate but I had a black cup of decaf about seven hours ago... what's the consequences of that on the test? Is it absolutely necessary to wait for another day?

He said it could be one of two possible things : Bicuspid Aortic Valve or Mitral Valve Prolapse and recommended we take her to a cardiologist in Lubbock.
Could anyone tell me more about these conditions and how serious they are?
