Heart Diseases

I've been on Crestor for about 8 months, and it, along with dietary changes, have lowered my cholesterol considerably. I haven't had any major side effects from it, but wondered if anyone has, and what they are so I know what to be on the lookout for.

I've heard that eating certain foods can actually reverse the effects of heart and coronary artery disease, such as plaque buildup, hardening of the arteries, etc. Is this true? How much of a change can the right foods really make, and do you have to eat massive quantities of these foods (vegetables, soy, etc.) to see a difference?

My mother was complaining of chest pain, loss of energy and breathlessness for several months before she died. How can you tell the difference between allergy problems, ingestion and the general ageing process and a heart attack warning? She was being more and more inhalers for breathlessness, while I believe, congestive heart failure was not being investigated throughly enough. Any thoughts on this?

I was doing well but in last month I have been short of breath. I am taking Coreg, Altace, Warafin, Zocor and Lantus Insulin. I think its the medication so doctor has significantly cut my doseage in last 3 weeks. I find that I don't get as light headed since he cut my doseage. My blood pressure is normal and my lungs check out ok. My oxygen level is 98 to 100%. I don't have the stamina and can't figure out why. Doctor is puzzeled also. My blood sugar levels are also great and within range.

My father is having this done and had a terrible time the last time he had surgery. Is it painful? Is it under general anesthesia? If it actual shocks you, can you still function during it? What if he is driving? Any info would be great, thanks in advance.

My father has anerusym which we incidentally found, no symptoms.Angiogram was done and it is found that aneurysm is in the blood vessel that supplies blood to brain.He is 71yrs.Docs feel that at his age and considering the location of aneurysm, surgery or grafting is not recommended.The size of aneurysm is 4.7cm.Advice of docs is to keep the bloodpressure under control,quit smoking ( he has been a smoker for a very long tome) and get the CT scan done periodically to see if there is growth.They are not ruling out the risk in not doing the surgery,but they feel that at this time surgery might be more risky.

I am worried that the aneurysm might rupture and from what I've read ruptured aneurysm is potentially fatal. So I feel surgery is better.

Any advice ?
