My lower legs and feet have been swelling badly, to the point where it feels as if they are being bruised from the inside out.
I am having severe shortness of breath.
The other night I woke up to find my left arm completely numb..and I could not close my hand. Also, my hand was ice cold. After a bit, it was as if blood came back into my arm and hand, like it had "gone to sleep", only more so.
I have been on lasex for fluid retention, and also breathing medication, but the problem keeps getting worse.
If anyone can give me some real advice, it would be much appreciated.
Thanx in advance.

If you do, Is there any side effects to having one. Any problems that you can think of.
I am going to have to have one fitted in the next few weeks, and I just want to know if there is anything that I should ask the specialist before I get it done.

This really nice guy at my school died during soccer practice, and all I really could find out about how it happened was that he had cardiac arrest. It's been bothering me for a while.....could someone explain?

randomly during the day i get these strange intense sharp pains in the left part of my chest. most of the time there are two locations, one a couple inches from my armpit and another a couple inches above my nipple. They usually go away after a couple of minutes when i massage it out.
There is heart problems on my dads side of the family and he had a clogged artery a couple years back but luckily we caught it before anything big happened.

Also-- a couple months back i went to an amusement part and i rode a roller coaster that had two loops back to back. maybe 30mins after that i felt like i was about to fain and my face was pale and the veins in my arm looked like they were about to burst, i told my father about this and he said that i was nuts

I'm 56. Figure it will make me look very cool. I can afford it, where I couldn't when I was younger. Plus, it can't really shorten my life much at this point. Is there a downside? Will it interfere with my exercise regimen?

The other day I had prime rib at Black Angus. Then shortly after I was shopping at Target and decided to try out the free blood pressure machine. It read pretty high, about 150/90. Could this be related to having eaten the steak or should I be concerned about being hypertensive? I normally don't eat steaks or beef in general, usually have chicken. And my dad does have high blood pressure so it runs in the family but I am only 25.

Suppose a 50 year old man was very ill (had congestive heart failure and major heart surgery recently) and could not return to work, was out of sick days and vacation days,and has no money in the bank. Would he qualify for any state assistance. i.e food stamps, medicaid, cash assistance in Florida ? He will most likely qualify for disability, but that could take a year or more !

Every year when I get my bloodwork done, my cholesterol is always a little on the high side. My triglycerides are usually normal, and my HDL is usually high, but my LDL is usually also a little on the high side. This most recent time, my total was 225, my triglycerides was in the normal range (I forget the exact number), my HDL was 76, and my LDL was 134.

I know that my HDL is very good, but my LDL is higher than it should be. Is that something for me to worry about?

My father had a complete valve replacement op done on his heart 7 years ago, he was 80 at the time. On his death this year an autopsy had to be performed due to his sudden death. It revealed that his heart was totally diseased, would this have been apparent at the time of the valve replacements or not? If so, why did they carry on with the op during which he had a stroke?

I read that people in northern countries have more heart disease. Does cold weather really influence the cardiovascular system, and, if so, how?
