Heart Diseases

First off im a 34 yo male smoker tall and slender with a history of spontaneous pneumothorax's other than that generally no health problems ... for the last 4 days ive been experiencing a dull pain located in my left arm on the inner side of the bicep following the the large vein thats been steady not gettin better or worse, also a few times in the same period ive gotten soreness in the top of my chest almost to the shoulder. Along with this i have a cold almost numblike feeling in my left foot and have gotten a few headaches above my left eye that come and go also in the past 4 days. As i stated i have a history of pneumothorax's 3 times on the left side between 1999 and 2001 and just got out of the hospital a month ago with the first one on the right. What i would like to know if anyone has any ideas whats goin on on the left side i think heart attack but i would think after 4 days things would have gotten worse, but im driving myself crazy worrying about it. Can anyone help?

My mother was admited into the hospital on Sunday for a high heart rate and her body was swollen. My mom has a thyroid disease, and she is also bi-polor, she refuses to take her medicine. Well they first thought that she had blood clots in her lungs and turns out it wasnt blood clots that it was her hyper thyroids that made her heart beat so fast, in order to slow down my mothers heart beat they gave her two beta-blockers, and not soon after that (30 min) she flatlined it stoped her heart completly. Im worried that they should of only gave my mom one beta blocker because of my moms weight(90 pounds). Has anyone had similar problems? My mom is still on lifesupport, and things are not looking good. She is pretty much brain dead and they said it was because she flatlined and she didnt get any oxygen to her brain...? Please help!

I have had these chest pains since I was about 8 and doctors can't figure it out. They usually come up after exercise, caffine, or a lot of stress. It hurts to breath in and it feels better if I just hold my breath all together. It lessens the pain if I lay in weird positions like twisting my body. Tylonol and stuff like that help but not much. Anyone have any idea what it could be? I am now 19 and I'm tired of not knowing.

I had open heart surgery and have a problem with numbness and sharp burning pain across my chest. It has been diagnosed as nerve pain from the nerves across my chest that were cut opening my chest to perform the bypass. I was put on Gabapentin for it and have been told that if it still exists after 1 year then it will be permanent.

I have had a vague pain in my left arm, and I feel nauseas. There's a stomach bug in my house, though, so that may explain the nausea. I've had a history of anxiety, though, and I worry about EVERYTHING. Right now, though, it's interferring with my life. My heart beats real fast, and I am terrified that I am going to drop dead at any minute. A little history. I'm 29, a mom of two, within a normal BMI, a smoker, and using hormonal birth control (Mirena IUD).

At any rate, I want to know if you're really having a heart attack, is it different than the vague pains you get with anxiety?

1) if a patient has ischaemic heart disease they have a prolonged pr interval over 0.2 seconds, due to a problem with conduction in the heart. where might the impulses be delayed to cause the extended pr interval?

2) in patients with pulmonary hypertension, blood pressure in the lungs is much higher than normal. their ecg has a trace with a large P wave. suggest which pat of the heart will be enlarged in a person with this condition and why?

He's only 28 years old and had these episodes where his heart beats really fast but it usually doesn't last that long.
The doctors can't figure out what's causing it but today the heart rate went as high as 300 beats/minute. He's been having chest pains this past week also. Today he was admited to the ER and was given Beta-Blockers and that slowed it down but not below 200 beats/minute though.
Has anyone experience this or knows what's going on?

I have just been diagnosed with a rare heart condition that a famous basketball player died from in the late 80s I think. He didn't take his medicine because he thought it was slowing him down and hurting his playing. He died during a game. Can anyone tell me his name, it might have been a Lou, but I'm not sure. Thanks for any help.

Rapid pulse, elevated b/p, edema, pale lips and dusky nails along w/fever. Could this be pneumonia rather than congestive heart failure?
