Heart Diseases

there is grouse. So I am on here now. My concern is I have a family history of heart problems having an uncle that died from a heart attack about my age, I am 38, and a granddad who died of a heart attack too, as a blood clot traveld to his heart and he died straight away. My grandmother, died of a stroke as a blood clot went to her brain and the 3rd of 4th stroke killed her. I also have a brother who is 28 and a dad who has heart trouble. My dad has a pace maker now. Anyway my concern is my diet is horrible, I eat toasted cheese sandwhiches most of the time with lots of butter and coon cheese and lots of chocloate. I have a bad diet and find it hard to change it. Tonight while haveing dinner with my sister while eating chicken, I started getting buring pain on my left hand side of my boob that lasted for about 60 seconds. My sister was more interested in watching tv and all I said to her was I better stop eating junk. I did not tell her at the time I was getting the pain.

I went to aheart specialist because my internist reccomended it. He says "tell me about yourself".. So I explain my medical conditions and symptons im having, he cuts me off and says "No i want to know about your personal life, what do you do"? He asked me "are you divorced"? I said no Im a widow, he says "have any children"? I said yes 2, he says "how old'? I say 20 and 22, he says "are they successful", I say "yes", he says "oh so you live alone", I said no "they live with me"
He gives me a puzzled look, and was waiting for more info then questions me about ever being in a hospital
Is this normal?

at sea with no port nearby? What kind of care can one expect? Will the patient most likely die? Has anyone personally had or know of someone who's had this experience?

Do you advise people that saturated fat and cholesterol causes heart disease?
If you can't answer this question then you have no right to hand out this advice, as you do not know what you are talking about.
I've posted this question before, but no one could answer it, yet people continue to advise people that saturated fat and cholesterol is bad for your health.
If you can't answer this question how could you make these claims?
My question is this.

ok well heres the deal, my blood pressure is all over the place. The doctors think I have white coat syndrome, and the problem is I cannot get over taking my blood pressure. When the doc tells me I gotta take a blood pressure test my hearts starts beating really fast and hard, sometimes I start sweating and my eyes get blood shot red plus my face gets red. The doc first told me I had high blood pressure when I was in 10th grade, my reading was like 145/85 and ever since then I have had a great fear of measuring my blood pressure. Im really confused, and no I cannot take the home test....its not the doc that scares me...its taking my blood pressure that scares me. I want it to be low so bad that I get really nervous, anyways it ranges from 120-70 to 215-110....recently it was 195/100. I get more nervous when I take my blood pressure then I do when I make a public speech. I think my real blood pressure is around 140/85 which is still high. I eat very badly, like 6 double cheeseburgers an

Does anyone have any experience with high blood pressure in babies? If so, what are some warning signs that it's not being properly controlled. She gets her blood pressure taken once a month, but is that enough to know if the medication is being effective all the time?

My husband has had a heart murmur from birth. He is now 50. He has a cardiac arrythmia, for which he takes a daily beta blocker.
Are the two conditions one and the same? What role does stress play on the heart?

He is on dialysis 3 days a week, they are now going to proceed with 4 days a week. He has been struggling with shortness of breath and most recently been sweating and complaining of having a tingling sensation in his face when he gets breathless. Because he doesn't actually have chest pains with these symptoms the doctors are not looking at it as anything that could be serious. But we watch him everyday and think differently. We are just trying to understand the tingling in the face its a new symptom we have never seen before.

I had the most unfortunate and tragic experience of seeing my son dead in the morgue. His ear was all dark purple and there was something draining from his neck/back of head. What was/causes that? He died in a mountain bike race from heart fibrillation believed to be caused by an extreme adrenalin rush. He did have a bicuspid heart. He appeared to have no other visible injury from collapse. I'm just trying to understand what little I can.

This has been going on for about 3 years now, I get this weird heart pain and my heart starts beating really fast. This only last about 30 seconds but it scares me so much. When this happens I can't breathe very well, my heart seems to tighten up and I get feel weak. Does anyone have the same problem? Anyone know what this might be?


I went to my doctor around the time that this started happening and they ran some test on me and sent me home. He said nothing was wrong at all.
