I know if you have MVP you need Propholactic Antibiotics prior to getting a tat similar to a dentist cleaning. But what are the other risks? Everyone I ask either laughs at me or doesn't take me seriously. I want this tat to mark the birth of my first daughter. Like my wife, I would go through some pain, my body would change forever, and it results in something beautiful. It's my way of trying to participate in the pregnancy. But no one is taking me seriously. All the 'old' doctors either have ethical issues with it or are just too lazy to do the research. Sometimes I would get answers like, "Get a fake tattoo," or "Go to a clean tattoo parlor." Give me a break! Tattoo studios have to be imaculate these days and follow strict guidlines. So is it safe? And can I get an answer without the stigma of someones idea of a tattoo?

I have a hole in the heart, and the doctor gave me pills to eat daily and it makes me grow really fat. The doctor said the pills will retain water in my body. What pills did he give me?

I was admitted to the hospital and had every test imaginable - even ruled out GERD,costochondritis and pericarditis. Sometimes the pain is sharp behind my breastbone. 5 weeks on two different nsaids made no difference. Beta Blockers made no difference. I do have mild mitral valve prolapse. It's been almost two months of pain. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I just went bowling and I bowl with my right hand. When I was finished, my left arm started to throb with a dull pain shooting down from the middle of my tricep to my pinky. and there is sort of a pins and needles felling in my pinky. kind of like when you hit your funny bone. I just started taking xenadrine efx today, the non-ephedra kind. did I just do something bowling, even though I dont bowl with my left arm. or is it something to do with my heart. I am 18 years old. should I worry. i dont wanna stop taking the xenadrine if I dont have to, but I really dont want to die.

My husband has been in criticle condition for the past 18 days now I understand about the liver and kidneys failing as part of the risk with open heart procedures, what I dont understand is why are his feet and one hand black and seems to have a charred like appearance. No one seems to beable to give me a straight answer, I wonder if I sould take this to another level? Was it human error? Was it medication? I dont understand, how does a strong, vital and otherwise healthy young man go in for a risky yet very common procedure and wind up looking as he does, he is on a trach and unable to move, talk or function up to this point. How was this possible, he's confused I'm confused I hope there is someone who can shed some light on this - also his extremities are very pain full and there are blisters forming. Thank you for your responses.

My mom has had two Aortic Surgeries, we just found out today that she has to go through another becuase the first one is bleeding through a pinhole. The graft has to be redone. I am concerned about her over all safety. IF anyone has any information please forward it to me. Her chances are 10%/90%. 90% is her survival chance.

I'm trying to learn more about arrhythmia. More specifically, bradycardia and atrial fibrilation. What is it like living with this? What is treatment for it, besides medication? I'm taking Tikosyn, does it make anyone else feel sick? Is it ever debilitating, like you don't have the energy to do anything? And are people with AF at risk for heart attacks or heart failure? Any help would be appreciated.
