I went to the doctor for my headaches, and instead found something with my heart. They said that they could hear a murmur inside it. And they did an AKG on me, and said that it wasn't too good. So theyre sending me to a cardiologist, and now im kind of scared as to what the murmur could be inside my heart...

What could it be?

All I know is my mom has no pulse in her left foot and her right foot is almost the same. What are they going to do? She is diabetic and I'm worried. Can she loose a foot or leg??

My mother is in serious condition and over the weekend her pulse rate was at 42 nobody seems to be able to give me an answer as to what this means or if this is a very low pulse rate? We know she is dying, so can anyone help me out with pulse rates, I'm not even sure how to take her pulse so that I can check it myself. Your help during this time is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I was told by two doctors that my painful and disabeling condition is from Mercury Poisoning, most likely from the metal in my teeth and partials. It is called Amyloidosis. I cannot afford to have the teeth removed and there doesn't seem to be any help out there. The sad part is that I certainly am not alone with this. Mine has caused so much difficulty because my body also had and still has Rheumatic Fever which stays in your body and flares up as well as Rheumatoid Arthritis. I'm told that that is one reason the mercury can attack my muscles and organs so easily.
I am trying a product that is supposed to help detox the body and hopefully that will help.
It saddens me to think that our govenment is very much aware of the danger of mercury and where it is but does nothing to help prevent it or help those afflicted with it.
Thank you.

i was lying down and reading yesterday when my heart beats faster than normal, and after 1 min, it will return back to normal..then it will start again for 1 min, and then back to normal.. I've had this problem b4 & when i asked a doctor, he said that i was 'excited'. at that time i was walking when it happened and I sure wasnt 'excited' during my walk home from work..i always walk home and it hasnt happened b4... and the way the doc said was as if he didnt care, i felt like smacking his face, coz when i asked him further, its like he didnt know what to answer...

i havent had this problem ever since but started again yesterday...i wanted to see another doc but i'm afraid they'll say the same thing...

any doctors or experienced pple who knows whats happening to me? I appreciate your answers..

The stroke was 6 years ago when they discovered diabetis. Parkinsons started approx 12-18 months but it is not caused by the stroke. Every night I am asleep by 10pm but wake for a couple of hours around 3.30am. I am 60 and have always slept well in past. How can I tell which problem is keeping me awake in the night.

My Father has had what they are calling a TIA. He is in a community hospital outside of Tampa but is there a better hospital that handles stroke patients? They want to run some tests but they have to wait until Monday when someone is available and that worries me when they have not identified his damage.

Whenever I get agitated/angry, or excited, revved up, I notice tingling in my arm/hand/feet, and start to just feel different, sometimes get some chest sensations. All of this worries me.

Is this just a normal reaction to stress/anxiety, and adrenaline/hormones are being released,

or could this be a sign of an underlying problem, or high blood pressure, or that im taxin my heart and cardiovascular system?

Either way I'm worried.

But I've been to the doc/ER countless of times in the last year, had bloodwork, ekg's and they say they're totally normal.

I hit my leg last weekend and now there's a big bruise on it. There's also what seems to be a hematoma underneath the skin and I was wondering if that could cause me to throw a clot. A couple of people advised me to have my doctor check it out, but should I really be concerned about it? the size of the hematoma is a little bigger than a quater. Thanks!!!

Are there any potential long term adverse effects (i.e.., arterial blockage) which can result from arterial damage caused during an "angiogram"? I may have the terminology wrong--what I am calling an "angiogram" was a procedure involving a catheter being inserted into the arteries, and dye being inserted to check for blockage. One of the arteries was stretched severely during this procedure, and then this exact same area (which had no blockage whatsoever at the time of the "angiogram") subsequently became totally occluded, and caused a massive heart attack. After a stent was inserted following the heart attack, subsequent studies revealed that the patient had no blockage whatsoever, anywhere else. This caused our concern that a possible injury to this artery during the earlier procedure caused some damage to the interior of this artery, and resulted in an area which proved more prone to have subsequent blockage occur.

I am a 22 year old female, slightly overweight. I am not that physically active, but I do work out a few times a week. My resting heart rate sits around 130 bpm, and when I am in pain( had an ear infection) it went up to 146 bpm. The nurse at the hospital seen it and said I was 22 years old... and that I can handle it. Heart problems run in my family, and sometimes I get minor chest pains from over exsurtion when working out. I am going to the doctors again soon but was just looking for some information about this to ease my mind until I get in to see my physician.

Are there any medics out there who can help me understand what is happening. Kept in hospital (3rd time in a month) for normal attack of atrial fibrillation - heart beat 129 (normal rate 50); pain in jaw (lack of oxygen), low potassium. Given oxygen and potassium. Monitored remotely all night. Doctor then said my Afib is changing - now in clusters and will be more frequent. Discovered I had been in sinus rhythm all night - regular beats of 119 slowing down. In the morning Consultant said I had angina - this has been queried before.. Does heart beat increase this much with angina? Can Afib be regular? How can I play table tennis for 1 1/2 hours with no effect and walk my dog for 45 minutes ditto? Awaiting nuclear scan but will be at least another 6 months. Am at the high end of medication - beta blockers, anti-arrhythmic + warfarin so only beta blockers increased- now 5mg night and morning. I am an active 70 yr old. I have a GTN spray but never need to use it except when in A fib.

Hi, I recently noticed my abdomen has a pulse (not just when lying down) and im not skinny. I am only 18, unbelieveably low risk for an aneurysm (Normal cholest., no heraditary diseases, no trauma, ETC.) Theres basicly almost no chance I can have one. Yet I suffer from bad health anxiety, so I am terrified.,


About 3 months ago I had an untrasound of my heart done (normal) along with a stress test. Would they have scanned my aorta quickly to check for an aneurysm? I dont remember the event too well. Im not too sure if they did. Is this a procedure they do when performaing an ultrasound?
