Heart Diseases

I'm 18 years old, and have been having chest pains for the 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 last year when I was 17 years old I had experienced all the signs of a heart attack.

I have a 'complicated medical history' as my many doctors say. The three main things I have to keep an eye on is my epilepsy - caused by a non-malignant brain tumor, my heart - dilated cardiomyopathy, and my kidneys and bladder are failing.
I sometimes have TIA, or mini-strokes as some people call them. My last one was last week. My home nurse/carer keeps regular obs each day, including my blood pressure, last night it went up to 199/135 my heart rate was 201bpm. My heart very often 'misses' a beat, but last night it was very irregular, it 'missed' several beats and then suddenly increased this showed up on the bp machine.
I am on the waiting list for a new heart, and today I feel okish. But my left arm is very numb and there is hardly any feeling in my fingers. Everytime I pick something up with my left hand I immediately drop it.

Should I be overly worried, or is this normal for someone in my condition.

Serious answers only please, thank you.

I can. It doesn't matter if I'm laying on my stomach, my back, or my side. I can count the heartbeats. I can also feel it if I'm sitting back against something, like a chair. And sometimes, I can faintly sense it when I'm just standing still. Is this normal? I'm 36 years old, and I'm VERY active. Not only do I workout a lot, but I perform very intense workouts... very strenuous. My average heart-rate is around 57-62bpm, and my blood pressure is always low. But, I just don't like the 'force' that my heart seems to beats at. One time I was laying in bed with an ex-girlfriend, and she even mentioned how 'hard' my heart beats. Could this be a sign of something bad??? I have no pain. No shortness of breath. No obvious symptoms of anything unusual besides a seemingly 'forceful' heartbeat.

My doubt is for someone with angina problem but whose diagnosis is not yet complete, is it advisable to avoid strenous exercises like jogging? Normally such exercises are encouraged to build endurance and for a better cardiac health. But what if someone suffers angina after or during exercises?

I learned today that my cholesterol is slightly elevated (217). The nurse said to exercise and eat well. How much cholesterol is acceptable daily in a diet if you are trying to lower your cholesterol? I know that Cheerios and oatmeal are supposed to help lower it, are there any other foods or tricks that work?

this has been going on for a little over a year now. i have been to plenty of doctors for this. my internist, cariodilogist. I had 2 holtor monitors done, did a stress test on the treadmill, had a few ekgs. Holtor showed a resting heart beat average of the day 66 the first time and 60 the second time. All the doctors looked and it and said there was nothing wrong at all and the beat is fine. Stress and ekg came back great, blood work came back great too. Now almost everyday i feel like im gonna pass out but i never to. I get tingly and light head and i get up and walk around to make myself feel better. Can this be heart related and all these doctors wrong, or am i just having panick attacks bc all i do is worry now days. im 23 yrs old male, work out every day atthe gym. 5-10 about 195. i hate this feeling and all the doctors say is go to a pyshciarist. what should i do i hate this feeling, they say ill grow out of it. blood pressure is never high its always good they say

Please help me.....I am in shambles. I went to get my yearly physical today. The doctor the did usual, checked my blood pressure, listened to my heart and so on and so forth. He told me that my blood pressure was elevated (134/94). My BP has never been elevated until now. He talked about the South Beach diet and then sent me to do my labs. While waiting to do my labwork the ECG tech came and got me and told me to strip from the waist up and she started to attached these little "stickers" to my chest. The interpretation came out and she sent me on my way. I'm assuming that it was because of my BP being elevated.

Anybody that has experienced this or knows about it please let me know.

I have Orthostatic Hypotention, also known as P.O.T.S. Positional Orthastatic Tachycardia Syndrome. So doing daily living things is hard because my heart races and causes my ears to ring, my vision to go black, my legs to give out and I know I have to lay down before I fall. My family helps the best they can but there are things I still do-scrub the toilets, shower, bath etc. I just want to be able to walk up my stairs without my heart rate going into the 100's. I want to take a shower without a bath seat in case I get week. I can't exercise, I use a walker and I will be 35 next month. There are no medications for this so far since it doesn't really effect the blood pressure-until recently. I know the usuall stuff, counslers, have family help more etc. I am looking for some ways to cope, not get things done.
Any advise would be great.
Thank you in advance for your time.
