Someone I know might have a brain clot. She doesn't have the money for a CAT scan. I know they can cause heart attacks and strokes, so do those actually kill you? And if brain clots kill you, how long does it take?
Sorry.. Excuse my ignorance to the facts of health issues.

My friend has had high blood pressure for a while, and its risen to 185/107. Admittedly she didn't make the advised lifestyle changes, and is now worried sick that she's gonna have a stroke or worse. Is that likely?
And how will she know if she's had one?
Thanks.

Are wriste or the standard arm bloos pressure monitors best for at home use? If so is there a brand that is better as I have seen some for $20 at discount stores but around $100+ at drug stores. Is this something that you need a good model for to be sure its accurate?

I am almost 25 weeks pregnant but, for a couple of days I have been having spasms. they are in the center of my chest but, above my breast. I am not sure if it is heart realated. I went to the er a couple of weeks ago with severe acid reflux. ( that I had no idea was that) they did ekg, and cardiac triage. Everything with all blood work is fine. Could these spasms be heart realated. I get aniexty also, or could it be realated to the acid reflux and maybe esphagoal spasms. ??

Isn't that even more important than just lowering it a few points?

I am 25, and was diagnosed with a heart murmur about a year ago. When I get stressed or drink too much caffeine, it hurts when it skips a beat (I have been trying to cut back on both). My family has a history of high blood pressure and heart disease.
My question is, will a heart murmur develop into a worse condition later in life? Will I be more prone to any heart disease or heart attacks when I am older?

If heart surgeons take the most serious patients, the surgeon will run the risk of appearing to be a bad surgeon. Won't the real evaluation be if the surgeon will even take the patient now?

Last night around 12 i got a really bad pain in my chest.It didn't affect breathing or anything. It was just very painful. It lasted till i went to sleep. When i woke up i was fine. But know i have a feeling of pressure on my chest not any bad pain like last night but pressure like i am working out or somthing. Do you think this could be a sign of heart trouble?

I'm nitrate dependant, and have been deferred from donating blood. I'm just curious as to why a person on nitro cannot donate. I was told that I'd have to go 3 months without nitro to have the deferral removed from my medical file.

...compared to the evolution of other medical knowledge and treatments, I find it crude and barbaric in the year 2007. We all know it's efficacy rates. When will a truly effective resuscitaton technique be developed? ** I think we need to place coded patients in some kind of 'bellows' device which will completely collapse heart and vessels and re-open with an effective circulation.

This is another question too the one I posted last week, thanks to the people that answered. My 21 year old daughter is going for a TEE test in early Nov. They have already detected a little hardening of her aeortic artery. With this test what exactly are they looking for and with the hardening of the artery can this be treated with medicine. I tried to talk to her doctor but I couldnt understand what she was saying. Also has anyone had this test and what did they find and how was it treated afterwards. I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has been through this. Thanks!!!!

Sick since he was
just a baby
Colicky and
screamin’ out

Having troubles
entering this world
Mama seizured,
passing out

Juvenile Arthritis hit
just after he hit six
All the while, a broken heart
lay silent in the mix

And his road’s been paved and patched my friends
but, it’s far from being smooth
Eleven years have come and gone
and there’s still some pits and grooves.....(to be continued)
