Heart Diseases

It's on and off one her, she had by-pass surgery already and on insulin - she is scared but don't trust the doctors because of so many mistakes and ommission on her record - she changed doctors because of that - could she be in danger right now? She has an elevated cholesterol too - but not that much -and she is taking baby aspirin already and she runs and exercise plus she is watchful of her diet. It's the numbness on her left 3 fingers that she is concern that has been numbing on and off since the by-pass surgery only this past month is more intense. Please help her. thanks.

Someone in my family has a heart disease. It doesn't seem to seriouse but she feels pressure when breathing and she seems to get tired a lot and very frequently. She has low blood pressure and she is not even close to being obese but she has been having a lot of stress issues for a long time. What might the problem be? the results come out in a month but we are still worried. Thanks

I have been having these pains for quite some time now (at least 6 months). The pain starts in my chest and shoots to my spine then up through my jaw and ear. I am 24 and a heart attack seems slim. They did an EKG and an Echocardiogram and they both came back normal. If anyone knows what else it could possibly be, please let me know. I am at a loss.

Hi, I've been trying to lower my blood pressure, I'm only 23 and have high blood pressure, im not obese, I weight about 168-170 and im about 5'8.5" About 3 years ago I weighed about 125, then when I met my girlfriend and started staying at her house, I gained the 35lbs or so rather quickly. I read online that Magnesium, Potassium, and Calcium help lower blood pressure. I got some vitamins, and some magnesium pills. Theres not a lot of potassium or calcium in the vitamins though, I figured I get enough calcium, and planned to eat more foods with potassium. But after reading some of the foods that are high in potassium, I may get enough of that too, I drink quite a bit of orange and apple juice, and eat a lot of potatoes.

What else can I do to try to lower it? My grandpa died at a rather young age from a heart attack, and I would like to avoid that from happening to me. Thanks

My 11 year old boy Ty (Chase_Phebes on YA) has a heart murmur and he has been checked yearly with an "echocardiograhm" this time though, they're worried about a prolasp of the right vent into the left vent, possibly.

Do you have any experiences?

He just wants to play football again but, he does suffer from "juvinile athritis in his knees but, we have the covered with pain meds you know?

Do they do heart transplants? (sigh) maybe, it'll all be ok, I'm so sorry if I seem to be seeking pity, I'm not, just curious as to what others have been through...

Love you all lots, sw33t dr3ams, Shad @)~>~

How is it diagnosed???

2007-10-09 13:06:16 · 5 answers · asked by Anonymous

The nurse said that I must have cholesterol issues from genetics. The nurse told me to exercise but I have mono and I am not supose to do strenuous activites b/c of the risk of enlarging my liver and spleen. What can I do? I am kind of in a bad situation with health right now. I plan on going on a strick diet of fruits and vegtables with a lot of fish. Taking fiber pills and lots of vitamens. The nurse said if I don't lower my cholesterol within the next 3 months they are going to put me on meds for it... which I really do not want to do. So what should I do beyond dieting and strenous work outs to end this issue?

I'm 41. Dont smoke. Not overweight. A year ago my BP was 120/80. Since then I have been going to gym 2-3 times a week. Just 2 weeks ago, my BP has been up to 130-140 / 88-100 area. Can this be caused by toxin / blockage / infection?

My 20 year old son has a heart rate of 48. He is tall and lean. Doesn't have chest pain or anything. He does have asthma. He had an ekg done for preop for surgery in 3 days. The tech sent him in to urgent care saying there was a problem with the ekg turned out to be the low heart rate of 48.
