yesterday. Everything was fine except her BP was pretty high. It always goes up when she goes to Dr. and she gets really nervous. It was down to 140/80 last night when I checked it. This morning when I got up she was sweating (cold sweat) and said she had felt sick but she was feeling better. No pain or any other symptoms. She also is diabetic and on oral meds for that. Thinking it may be a blood sugar drop (cause it was running low a couple of days ago) I gave her some cereal. She's fine now but I'm unsure about what to do if it happens again. Could it be her heart if the only symptom is a cold sweat? I don't know if I should take her to the ER right away or not. She gets so nervous when she has to go to the dr. I'm afraid it might make her worse.

He was at work & collapsed. His heart rate was 180 when he got to hospital. Ho looks to be OK now as his heart rate was 90 last night. WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH HIM??????????????

The nurses wouldn't tell us much. He drinks 35 pints a week, smokes everyday & is 4-5 stone overweight. However, he does manual work everyday & his heart rate was only 135 at the gym last year when he was on the exercise bike.

All the nurses said was that it could be down to excessive drinking & smoking - they didn't seem that concerned about it.

Can you get into a coma after having a heart attack? I was wondering because my uncle had colon cancer and went into a coma and died. I was wondering if you could get a heart attack then get in a coma....

Assume you have had a 'minor' stroke, cause diagnosed as 80% blockage in the left 'carrotee',vein ( unsure spelling there)
The operation has a 1% chance of causing a stroke while being performed.
The operation is performed while the patient is just under local anasthetic. The vein which feeds the brain is clamped and the surgeon says that in most cases a stroke will not occour? He needs the patient to be awake during the 'rodding out' of the vein proceedure!
If it does cause a stroke , the clamp is removed and a bypass vein is inserted!!
This is another element of risk!.
So let us assume that if the 'full' operation is needed the chances are a total of 2% of having a fatal stroke. thats 2 chances out of 100 operations of 'snuffing it'!!
The alternative? The surgeon says with an 80% blockage the pateint has a 50/50 chance of having a stroke at any time!
The patatient is male 68 years of age, and all tests have been made to ensure he is 'fit' for the op!!
What would you do??

This is my 3rd query on the same subject. There is a bit improvement seen in mother case but simultaneously something else has also developed. She speaks a lot in the night and some time in the day time. In the night she speaks continuously and she will sleep only after getting tired of speaking. We just don't know what to do during that time. Is it normal post stroke? Kindly help me if some physiotherapy will be helpful or I should give some other treatment. We had stopped medicine for 48 hours because she had vomiting from last two days. If any one can guide me which vegetables juice should be given, it will be of great help. - Thank You.

he told that he had like that b4 marraige also when he didnt take proper food and worked hard. this time it lasted for many hours.is it gastric problem. how we have to differentiate gastric and heart prob.he used to be busy and in the first year of r marraige he wouldnt feel tried. now he is feeling tried sometimes. i dont know whether its because lack of sleep as r 1 yr old baby is not sleeping properly at nite and disturbing his sleep. but still he is busy doing work in the office and after from office also we would hang out.so i want u to clear whether he is having any heart related prob or he is normal.whiel the day he had that pain also he drove the car and did everything as usual. and the pain faded after somettimes.

I have edema in my lower legs & ankles. My Dr put me on Lasix. I drink lots of water every day. I TRY to drink half of my body weight in water every day bit sometimes fall short of that goal. I do however drink at least 64 oz every day.
I am now on day 5 with the Lasix & am still seeing some swelling in my ankles. I drink coffee. Probably too much coffee each day. Does anyone know if this is not a good idea to do when you have edema? The reason I ask is because I am not real clear on how this edema thing is working. I think my body may be storing extra water because I am becoming dehydrated, which is probably not helped by the caffeine in the coffee. But caffeine is a diuretic, isn't it? So it should pull the water off too. However, it seems to be making it worse. Is that possible???
