I've heard that several types of nuts -- including almonds, walnuts, pistachios and I think one or two others -- contain compounds that help reduce LDL ("bad cholesterol") and/or help raise HDL ("good cholesterol"). In some cases the compounds are monounsaturated and/or polyunsaturated fats, but I believe I've read of other healthful compounds as well.

What I'd like to know is which nuts are the best at lowering LDLs and/or raising HDLs? If anyone also knows of an actual list that ranks the nuts in ORDER, from the most beneficial to the least beneficial, I'd love if you could share that with me too!! :) Due to a genetic propensity for elevated cholesterol, I want to eat the nuts that will help me the most.

Also, how much of these health benefits are reduced if the nuts are baked or toasted? The reason I ask is because I'm allergic to walnuts, but they only irritate my mouth when RAW. If they're toasted, candied, etc., then they're fine.

Thanks again! :)

I really need to know if the pain I am having is my heart. It sure feels like it's my heart. The pressure I feel is literally on my left breast, sort of in the nipple area. I usually get the pain after eating and I have tried to believe it is just heartburn, but is it really heartburn, GERD, like I have been told it is? The pressure seems to slowly go away as I burp and release gas. But it's real funny, because at times when the pain hits sharp, I apply menthol pomade and it goes away. The pressure seems to also radiate a nerve-feeling to my left arm, and goes away after I crack my shoulder or something. So is it heartburn? A pulled muscle? Joint? It's on my upper left side, right where my breast is. It can't be breast cancer, 'cause the pressure feels like an inflammation, watery, cartilage feeling. It sometimes goes to my back too. What is this? So many people have asked about this, but was hoping to hear more.

My husbands mother had outpatient surgery done in May because of lack of blood flow to foot. They put a stint in to open the arteries. That procedure was good and she seemed to get immediate releif from the symptons. At one of her regular check ups they found that they blood flow had stooped again and they could not get pulse in that foot. She was scheduled to have same outpatient surgery again last Thursday It was unsucessful. Yesterday they did surgery to re-route the arteries after the surgery they said all went well. It was about a 4 hour surgery. They put her in ICU for the night and when I called this morning to check on her they said that even after the surgery they still could not get a pulse in that foot and they can not get one in the groin area of that leg either. The nurse told that is not good news. Is she in jepordy of losing that foot. Also she had triple bypass heart surgery in February and had a very hard time recovering from it. She was in hospital then for about 5 wk

I'm sometimes light headed, short of breath, and dizzy. I am breastfeeding my baby (13 weeks post pardum). I have gone into the doctor for these symptoms before (minus the high heart beat rate), and the doctor can't find anyting wrong with me except for some fluid in my ears (causing my equilibrium to be off). I'm going to the doctor again on Wednesday to check out my heart rate, etc. Do you have any ideas that I can suggest to my doctor to look for?

Thanks!

My grandpa desperately needs to have quadruple bypass surgery done. His platelets are low though so he cannot go under the knife for fear his blood won’t clot and heal correctly. Prednisone hasn’t succeeded in changing his platelet count and he should be in surgery Monday. Seriously bad things can happen if you delay heart operations. He’s already had a stint collapse and I’m scared! Has anyone gone through this? Had a family member, friend? What can I do? What will happen?

Does anyone out there have experience or knowledge of a cardiology test called "Myocardia Perfusion Imaging". Are there any short term or long term side effects of this procedure? I am aware that the procedure involves introducing radioactive substance into the heart.

What are some of the symptoms? I have breathing problems & sometimes my feet swell big. I work nights at a sit down job and I think that may be why my feet swell because when I get sleep and am moving around they dont do it.

A long time ago the doctor said not to take Halls cough drops, becuase I have a heart condition know as Cardiomyopothy, basically weakness of the heart muscle which causes the heart to fail. I don't remember why they said I can't take it, but I have a bad cough and it is the only thing that seems to help with me. Does anyone know why they would tell me not to take it?

I just recieved my Stress Echo results..... as cardiologist are running a month to be seen I was curious as to what this means:

Cardiac Valves: There was physiologic tricuspid incompetence with indirect pulmonary artery pressure in the region of 38mm/Hg.

I am currently on beta-blockers for sinus tachycardia.... have had abnormal EKG with electricle ST depressions noted.

Cheers!

because her carotid artery is clogged and they don't want to roto rooter her or put a stent in because she's 90. She thinks she won't make it out of the hospital. Other than that, she's in good health. Any info would be greatly appeciated here.
