I am on high blood pressure pill "Norvasc" but I also have to take a fluid pill and if I don't I feel like a toad, does this mean my heart is not working as well as it use to? If anyone can help with some experinces they have been through it would be appreciated. I hate going to the doctor......

I was in the hospital Sunday night because I had a really, really bad panic attack (I thought it was the big one)... anyway, they ran the normal tests like blood work, EKG, CT scan, blah, blah, blah and they suggested I follow up with my general practitioner which I did today. Everything was normal at the hospital. They did another EKG in the doctor's office and it came up abnormal. The doctor didn't seem too worried and didn't do much explaining. She says it's not 100% normal but not 100% abnormal either and she thinks it's related to my anxiety. She said she didn't think it had anything to do with heart disease but then they don't have anything to compare it to since they normally don't run these tests on someone as young as me.

So I'm a little confused and worried despite her assurance that it's nothing to worry about. I don't know, should I consult a cardiologist? Has this happened to anyone else here?

The last time I had an EKG at the doctor's office I seem to remember the nurse putting the leads on completely different places on my body. The nurse did do it a couple times to see if the same reading came up.

I am a heart patient with RHD.(Rheumatic Heart Diseases) My two valves are found leak. Doctors advised me not to be worry for operation and the leakage is marginal. I also like to treat it by taking medicine etc instead of opting out for operation.

For years, I have had unusually low cholesterol readings - as low as 99 total cholesterol. For the same period of time I have been dealing with anxiety issues and depression. I recently found studies that linked the two. I have one child and notices that all my anxiety/depression issues resolved during pregnancy (a time when the body naturally raises the cholesterol levels) As such, I would like to raise my cholesterol levels in order to see if this is contributing to the anxiety - is their a safe way to do so?

Over the last several years I have had chest pain, sharp, pinching type, but nothing in my left arm. When I asked the doctors abour it a couple years back, they said I just had "air bubbled" that somehow escaped my lungs and were bursting in the chest cavity. I pretty much ignore it when it happens, roughly every 6-8 months, but it has happened 2X in the last three days which is very unusual. I have a family history of angina problems, and I am 31. Is it possible I am having an attack?

Just very curious as to what it is about grapefruit juice that they put a warning on the bottle. I have taken this medicine for a year and a half and have never seen this warning before. Should I not drink grapefruit juice at all ? Or just not drink it to wash down my meds?

How serious is this? She said that her lungs are full of fluid and that they are doing tests. She said that last night, she had never felt as bad as she did, she was having cold sweats and she has had some sort of sinus problems for a week or two, coughing and all. She said she was having a hard time breathing. She had a pacemaker put in many years ago and goes for routine checks on that. I live on the other side of the country from her. How serious is this?

My boyfriend was diagnosed with tachycardia when he was younger and went through 2 heart surgeries. The doctors told himi he only had until he was 32. I was wondering if that was still true since he's had the surgeries. He's in his 20s now and refuses to see the doctor. He had a hard time dealing with the short life issue and is afraid that it might be worse or the same. He can't handle hearing it again. We plan to get married, and I fear for him. I want him to get checked out, but I can't convince him. Can anyone please tell me what the average life expectancy is for tachycardia, so I could maybe put both of our minds to rest?

My mother complained that she had a pain in her chest. She lacked energy for every day tasks and had trouble breathing. She rather foolishly I believe told the doctors she visited that indestion tablets relieved the pain. Only to happy to save money they ordered no tests until it was too late to be of use to her. As she laid in the coroners slab one fantastically sunny and warm day, after several weeks of visiting the doctor's surgery, she must have got real comfort from the fact that her ECG was booked for the following day. She was presenting her GP's with heart failure problems, furthermore she was a diabetic which I believe put her in a high risk group. I believe my mother died because her GP's were worried about other things like the colour of the chairs in their surgery, the state of their new blinds, maybe the delivery date of their new sports car. Does any one see any evidence that I am wrong in my conclusion?

One of my friends is a nursing major, and she was checking everyone's radial pusle and everyone but me landed in the normal range for youth between 60-100BPM. I got around 40...and she checked five times for me, because she couldn't believe it herself. Elite athletes can get a BPM around that normally, but for someone like me: 6' 2'', 200 lbs, who exercises only recreationally, and sporadically at that...it worries me. Any ideas on why? Health concern? Potential heart problem?

I'm 24 african american female with extremely high blood pressure 180/120. I hate taking drugs and I have abnormal side effects. I was on atenelol for 3 weeks, but I had nightmares, insomnia, and more anxiety. so My doctor weened me off of atenelol last week, and now i'm taking 1 hcz daily (water pill). But I feel as if its not working on my bottom number! Everytime I eat and then wake up my blood pressure is now 120/95. I'm often dizzy and lightheaded and feel wierd when I dont eat some sort of potassium. Could my problem be that I am losing too much potassium on these water pills? Help me! It only been 3 days on this water pill. When I wake up in the morning, my blood pressure is completely normal! 120/80. Only when I take the water pill, the bottom number goes so high during the day! Help!
