I'm a 23yr old female. I recently have chest pains on my left side. It feels like I need to burp but nothing comes out. Then I have difficulty breathing. What can it be? Heart burn? Am I too young for that?

This is something that happens only once in a while, but usually when I lie down at night. I typically sleep on my left side. Sometimes, as soon as my head hits the pillow, I will have a sensation that feels like a huge artery or vein is pulsing on the left side of my head. It's a very strong racing pulsation, and can be scary. The location is a spot just above and slighty forward of my ear. Not sure if it's related, but I also occasionally have a slight feeling of numbness on the lower left side of my face, the area close to the corner of my mouth. It usually lasts just a few seconds, and may not happen again for days, weeks or months. Has anyone ever heard of or experienced these symptoms?

OK, has anyone out there been treated like crap in an Emergency room? I have. I overheard a nurse say "let's fast track her" once. Why, well I suppose it was because I visited their little ER room too many times in too short a time. I was never once rude, didn't want drugs, just some damn answers. I get refered to my familly Dr. who can only do so much, she refers me to an ortho. I get in to see him after 6 weeks. I suppose something is better than nothing. Doctor's and Nurses, If you are burned out in your profession please do something else until you remember why you chose it in the first place. Sorry, I don't feel so hot right now.

My question from last night , ie: PSVT's from the past, levostenosis, L4-L5 dics herniation hitting a nerve, severe pain, on percocet...yada, yada, yada. (that's how I feel) I received great advice from this site. Of course, today is Saturday and there are no Doctor's available. If I don't make sense it is because I can hardly type this stuff. I only took one pain pill this am. My pain is better, which is great. I usually have taken 4 by this time of day. Today, my heart rate is 74 bpm. I skip beats randmoly. I check my pulse only when I feel I will faint. My skipped beats go in random patterns, 3 beats..skip, then 12 beats, skip, skip, thump, there is no rhyme or reason to it. I got some good sleep. Why am I so weak?

My 76 year old father was recently diagnosed with CHF. He is to have "no salt" (at all) in his diet going forward. He lives alone and I'm having a hard time finding things NO salt to stalk on his shelves that are appetizing ..and most importantly that he can make himself (easily). Any ideas? Those things marked "low sodium" are no good - as they still have some level of salt in them. It's VERY hard finding anything for him with no salt at all. All suggestions would be most welcome!

and I have questions about his cholesterol readings. His total cholesterol was 193, which is good. The triglycerides were 243, and the VLDL was 49. Both of those were high. . However his hdl was 54 (good) and his ldl is 90 (good).... How can his total cholesterol be lower than the triglycerides? I looked on the AMA website and couldn't find what I am looking for.

Last May, a cardiologist (not my regular one) thought by seeing some scans that I might have an dilated ascending aortic valve, so he put me on Beta Blockers immediately. Then, in August, 3 months later, I saw my regular one and he said that I didn't - he looked at the same scans. He said that Beta Blockers were most effective in people with Marfan Syndrome (which I don't have), so he took me off of them immediately. For the past few months, I've felt something in my chest and seen him about it, but he said everything's fine.

Are these just normal symptoms for being removed off of Beta Blockers?

I'm a teenaged girl, before anybody goes asking my age, etc. And again, I HAVE SEEN MY CARDIOLOGIST.

I now have skipped heart beats, palpitations and I feel like I will faint when I am in severe pain. My teeth chatter and I shake. I just learned I have a L4-L5 disc herniation with a tear and low grade stenosis that abuts the L5 nerve root. (reading my MRI results) My back was stuck bent over for 12 hrs 2 months ago. When I clicked back, I went back crooked! Levoscoliosis. I am on heavy duty pain meds (and I still hurt?) I just resigned my position at the fortune 500 company I just started with. I feel I became an agent for nothing. I am starting to get snippy with my family (not like me at all) and I didn't get answers from my doctors. just, here's your perscription. What hapens next? On top of all that I will be loosing my health insurance. AAAAAH. Any helpful sugestions?

I was on statins for 20 years but I developed side effects. I eat very healthfully, exercising most days. My HDL has climbed to 50 while my total cholesterol rose from 148 to 254. If the test results indicate my LDL is good, am I home free after all these years? I'm an active 58 year-old female.

I recently went to a new doctor and she matter of factly mentioned that I had a slight heart murmur.I said no body has ever told me that I have a murmur.She said it was nothing and I ask if I should have test,and she said no .She said it wasn't anything to worry about and even she had a murmur.I ask her to tell me what kind of murmur it was and she changed the subject because she new that I was already anxious and now im obsessed with the murmur and worry alot and wonder if I can still do the things I used to do before without having a heart attack.The reason originally I was at the doctors office was that I was hearing my heartbeat in my ears all of the time and she found that my ears were blocked and I needed to see an ent.I was worried that maybe a artery was causing me to hear my heartbeat but she made me think that it was all because of the tubes blockage in my ears.I just wonder if she is waiting for the ent to find a blockage in my arteries or its just really my ears?
