My doctor downplayed the significance of the arrythmia but I still feel it in my chest. Ive cut out caffine and Im eating better but just over the last two days. Is it ok to jog with an irregular heart beat? Should I wait until arrythmia/ palpitations stop before I resume my workouts?

My mom just moved a month ago from Arizona to North Carolina. She has had a heart defibrillator in her chest for the past 14 years. She is on Medicare and was prior to the move and was seeing a heart doctor regularly....we need to get her established with a heart doctor here in NC....I made the appointment without a General Practitioner's referral since this is not a new health issue but a continuing one. Does anyone know if Medicare will NOT pay for her appointment unless we get the referrral? The Heart Care Center that she is going to next week, says that they do not require a referal to see her, only that she needed to bring the records from her previous heart doctor in Arizona. I don't know anything about Medicare and my mom's seems confused about it also. Please help.

I have continous chest pains (like pressure), upper back pain, feel exhausted, often confused, and have started coughing lately. I've had bouts of hard time breathing & physically shaking in my hands, legs etc. with being very cold & dizzy. I've been to the ER numerous times & had ECGs done but they do not show anything. My doctor says I have to lose weight. But my weight hasn't changed from last year & all of a sudden I started getting these pains. I feel like I am dying. I used to read, garden ,walk & now I just want to sleep all day. I can't even climb a flight of stairs. I'm a chubby 33 year old & was in good health before, except for the weight gain. I used to be athletic & run but quit due to a knee injury about 3 years ago & have put on about 60 lbs since. I called Telecare once & they told me to go straight to the ER cause I was having a cardiac episode, but the ER doctor didn't even examine me...didn't even come within 3 feet. Anyone have any ideas? I feel like an idiot.

I am a smoker of 37 years and have tried many times to quit but I always start back. I believe the only way to really quit is to get rid of the tobacco companies.

I already went to the doctor. She listened to heart and didnt hear anything strange. I took an EKG and the technician said "sort of normal" and mentioned "early beat". I wont get the results from cardiologist until tomorrow. I still have the question. How do I rid myself of this condition???

First off, I will say I am under the care of my PCP and awaiting the results of an Echo. I am 31, male, not overweight, cholestoral is good, but blood pressure is borderline high, and family history of heart conditions. I will describe what I experience....

It only happens when I am doing something active like playing catch with my kids, playing football, or just anything active. I will have a little episode where my heart starts pounding super fast and my chest hurts, I get a little short of breath, and my eyes start to get black in my peripheral vison and it closes in like I will pass out.....I just kind of ignore it and walk it off with my arms above my head and take deep breaths until it goes away, which is usually only a minute or two at the most.......this has actually been going on for about 10 years and I just finally told my doctor and my wife. Like I said I am still waiting on the official word from my doc. Its been 1 week since my echo and no word......any thoughts?

I am a thirty year old woman, you may recognise me from writing about my daughter who had lung cancer. Now I'e got a serious heart disease and I'm scared the same thing will happen to me. I know you're probably thinking I'm a whimp but it's really worrying me. I'm scared I'm going to die. Help me.

Went in for sore throat, doc ran ekg, then ordered nuke stress test, found 'abnormal movement in left ventricle' then sent for echo's which confirmed findings. But thats about all I get out of family doctor. Can somebody please explain the best and the worst possibilities. I am being sent to an 'invasive cardiologist' what are my chances for simple drug therapy verses surgery? And is this type of problem progressive or can it be managed with drug therapy to a ripe old age? Im only 45 and had an angiogram in 92 which was negitive for any heart problems.
