What does it mean when you get a sharp, throbbing pain on the right side of your chest? I have been getting them a lot the past few years and I don't know what they mean. Any ideas?

(I'm a 19 year old female with no weight problems, but I did have a murmur as a baby if that helps)

About 2 years ago I had a job that was very stressful and one day I was on the verge of a breakdown, my heart started fluttering. I rushed home and was naseaus and finally calmed down and was mush better. I have had 3 ekgs done, the doctors said that they were all fine. I even had one done when my heart was fluttering and it was normal. I have been diagnosed with anxiety. Sometimes I can go weeks or months with no heart flutters but sometimes they start and last for awhile. Everyone says they are just anxiety related. I kind of think so because they happen when I am nervous sometimes or when I travel cause I have homesickness or any where that I go I have to know the nearest hospital route. But sometimes they happen for no apperant reason. Maybe alot or sometimes just one or two. I have never had high bp not even when I was carrying my 3 kids. Im going to CA for vacation this summer and I am scared to go. What if something happens on the drive out there? Is it just anxiety related?

Are there any sort of statistics on how many people who have a TIA, or transient ischemic attack, end up having a stroke afterwards? My boyfriend just had a TIA yesterday and has to go back up to the hospital tomorrow for a bunch of more tests at the Stroke Assessment Clinic, but in the meantime I am very worried. He is only 47 years old but has already had two open hearts surgeries, and a stroke in between those two surgeries. If anyone has any info about this I sure would be appreciative. Thanks!

I understand that some fish has Omega 3 which helps with HDL ( I think), but still the label lists almost as much cholesterol as other kinds of meat. So if I were to eat lots of fish, wouldn't that still be contributing to my high cholesterol?

About a week ago, I started having heart palpitations, where quite regularly, my heart would beat really fast, then go back to it's normal rate. Now, every 31 beats (I've counted) it skips a beat - is this normal?
I'm a cheerleader, and I train nearly every day, and cheer at games each friday. Could this have something to do with it?

Any help would be great.

My brother and I are 2 of the only people in our family who did not inherit this. As my dad and grandfather died of this at a very young age, I know a little bit about it...
*High cholesterol that your body makes, not controllable by diet change and exercise
*Inherited... if you're not born with it, you will not ever get it or be able to pass it along to your children

Question - I was just wondering, as medicine has changed, what else people can tell me about this horrible disease, what medical advancements have been made, if there is a cure for it, etc, etc... THANKS!

Is there any medication or anything to prevent getting a
heart attack in the future. In my family they have died because
of heart attack. My dad had a heart attack but he survive,
they operate him and the doctor said that another heart attack
he won't survive. So, its genetic! I could die of a heart attack
in the future. Is there anyway to prevent this tragedy?
I mean, I want to pass the age of 70 and I want to meet
my grandkids someday. Please, help me how to prevent
from dying of a heart attack.

I have anxiety, and serious gyne probs at the moment. I have been very over worked and highly stressed too .
I have never had high blood pressure in my life, but the past couple of months, my readings have been between 140 / 83, and 144 / 90. My GP says it has to come down. I have also put weight on the past year. I also seem to be breathless, I stopped the cigs a year ago. Is all these conditions connected, and what can I do.
Genuine replies please, thanks.

Ok, for my science project, I got everything done, but on the research section, I'm not sure what to write. My project is about certain genres of songs will change the heartbeat and blood pressure, and I would like to learn more about this. All I have is that it does change your heartbeat and blood pressure and that classical music soothes your heart. Any help please?
[Sorry if the wording is all..messed up. I'm not so well when it comes to describing things]
