i am in my late 20's and would like to have a child in the next 3-4 years but i was diagnosed last week with coronary artery disease and so now i have a million questions on if my heart could even handle pregnancy...i know i will have surgery soon so hopefully it will be under control but even so, is it considered safe to have children? i also was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse/regurg when i was 12 and have been told that it would be borderline for me having children just because of that, so now i have CAD to add to it.
any personal experience/knowledge you have to share is very much appreciated! :)

My best friend has a heart problem, and will need to do open heart surgery. We're both really afraid that she'll die. Does anyone know how many chances she has of surviving?

I am a 33 yr old female that has recently started having attacks where my rightside feels heavy and my vision will start to go. This lasts about a half hour to an hour. I am seeing a neurologist, he has put me on a calcium channel blocker and a blood thinner. The reason why I am asking this questuion is because my primary doc is saying they are not tia's, it is stress because so far my MRI and ultrasound of my arteries leading to my brain are normal. My neurologist thinks its my heart. My primary doc said it could be my heart but he thinks I'm stressed. I am very frustrated. Can you have TIA's and your tests be normal and if so, about how long do you have to live? Any insight would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Sometimes, out of no-where, I get this really weird feeling inside of my chest. It's like little bubbles are popping in there or something. It doesn't happen very often... Maybe once every three months or so. It feels like it's coming from right above my stomach - perhaps around or behind my diaphragm, or between my lungs.

It scares the bajeezus outta me, because I never get a warning or sign that it's about to happen. I also get an intense feeling of anxiety during the "episode". I'm in my early twenties and have never had a problem with panic attacks, nor do I have a family history of heart-related diseases. I smoke, but this has been happening to me since before I started.

What is this?

This little girl on my block (9 years old) was born with a vein missing in her heart. she has to have surgeries often because of it. Its really bad and she can never get rid of it. I just want to know whats the oldest age she can live with this condition until she passes? Will she eventually have to have an emergency heart surgery?

This girl needs a heart to undergo transplant immediately but she been waited for one year, no suitable heart is available. Now is there a way to save her? Do you think the world community could do something about it? United Nation?
