My husband had chest pains, little to no feeling in right arm and his blood pressure was 150/108 with a pulse of 66
Why would his pulse be so low with bp so high?

All I know is they will shoot dye into my veins to check and see how large the hole in my heart is. I'm scared. Anyone have any experience with this test?

For the last year or so I have had a strange thing happening with my heart, it skips beats and beats too hard sometimes. I did see a cardiologist who at the time said it was due to my pregnancy. It has continued since, but I am not worried about it, the echocardiogram showed no problems. I am out of shape and have been working out for the last 3 months trying to work off all that baby fat. I try to follow the guidelines on the machines, but I don't feel like that is enough of a workout. I get way up there with my heartbeat, usually in the 160's. I am 35. The suggested ranges are 120's for fatburn mode, and 140's for cardio. (I think) Could it be bad for my heart to keep it in the 160's and 170's for about 20-30 minutes?

My eight month old daughter was just diagnosed with pulmonary valve stenosis. Anyone have an experience with this? Did you have cardiac catherization? Did that fix the problem?

Last year I was struck by a car and suffered a major heart attack from the shock and loss of blood. They told me that large areas of my heart muscle were severely damaged. Does the heart muscle ever recover or regenerate or is this my fate till the end of my life??? I now have quite reduced heart function and tire very easily since this happened. I had no prior heart attacks and used to walk freely & now I tire even upon speaking too long. I am not on any heart drugs & none are recommended to me. I also have some blocked arteries also but was told that bypass surgery would have no effect upon the damaged heart muscle. Please share what you know with me - especially want to hear from similar cases.

Four years ago I had an episode where I went into V-Tac, the paramedics had to jolt me with their mobile defibrillator to get my heart back into normal rythum.
At the hospital it was determined I needed an implanted defibrellator to controle any further problems. they also put me on the medication Amiodarone which is a antiarrithmic.
Last year I had a episode where the unit discharged five times about one minute apart, felt like getting hit in the chest with a sledge hammer.
After that episode I feel a bit anxious about the next time this may accour, believe me Im not looking foreward to it.
Are there other people that feel the same, apprehensive about the next time, always on the back of your mind?
For those on Amiodarone what side affects do you feel. I get very fatigued.

My resting heart rate seems too high all the time. I am 16 years old, 6 feet tall and 128 lbs., and my resting pulse is always between 130-140 bpm. Also, every so often (while I am resting, not during or after physical activity), my pulse slows and I feel hot with a tightening in my chest. My heart feels like it has trouble pumping, but then it quickly speeds up and I return to normal. These 'episodes' last for only a few seconds. I don't think it's anxiety. My bp is normally between 110/75 and 105/70. Is something wrong, or is it puberty, or something else? Please answer.

From what I understand, one glass of red wine a day is good for when you're trying to reduce high levels of cholesterol... but are there any specific wines? Light, medium full bodied? How dry??
