In the past I've had what I call flopping of my heart. It feels as if my heart stops beating for a fraction of a second then beats again. All my EKGs, have been normal. I wore a 24 hour holter monitor and the cardiac dr said I have irregualar hearts beats but nothing at my age (34) is done for it. He prescribed some medication to slow my heart down but I haven't taken any and don't plan to. I'm afraid of meds. And why would I want to slow my heart down. My family doctor told me it was just anxiety, this same doctor told me my abnormal pap smear was also just anxiety. (no i can't change doctors, i have no insurance and see the county doctors who don't want to spend the county's money on unnecesary test) I want piece of mind.

I know angina is caused by a lack of oxygen getting to the heart muscle. what i want to know is how it can be the coronary artery causing this given that i have always learnt that arteries carry blood away from the heart so this should mean that the coronary artery should carry the de-oygenated blood used by the heart muscle to the lungs to be oxygentated then shouldn't the oxygentaed blood be broughht back to a the heart muscle by the coronary vein? (p.s i know how blood circulates through the heart via lungs then to body...i am asking specifically about cornanary circulation that supplies blood to the heart muscle)

My father, the heart patient, suffered from a minor heart attack a month ago. Lately he was prescribed ibuprofen for pain relief. After 3 days of medication (precribed dosage) he suffered from nausea, and blood vomiting. He is in intensive care unit right now. They have cleansed his system via laxatives. Not sure about the extent of damage though. What is the best way of recovery?

I've been experiencing lightheadedness and what appears to be a drop in my heart rate after drinking any type of alcohol. Over the past few weeks I want to go to sleep even after having a bottle of beer. I'm a 25-year-old male that has never had a low tolerance of alcohol and now I'm scared to drink because I think something is wrong and the alcohol is bringing it out. What is the alcohol doing? I haven't added anything to my diet or taken anything away. The only thing I've been taking that is new is a once a day multi vitamin.

i am in my early 20's. for the past five years i have been experiencing something strange with my heart. sometimes when i do any physical activity, such as raking leaves, all of a sudden my heart will start pounding really hard and fast, then i will get lightheaded and feel some pressure on my chest. if i stop what i am doing and lay down it will go away quickly and then i will be fine. This does not occur too often but i was just wondering if i should be concerned. also when i give blood or have blood taken, immediatley i will have the same sympoms and i actually have passed out before when i have had blood drawn. i dont know if those things could be connected somehow.

After 2 years of chronic tonsilitis, my otherwise healthy 22 year old daughter had her tonsils removed yesterday. There was no stress test done prior to undergoing surgery.

While under anesthesia, she developed an "abnormal" heartbeat which continued throughout the surgery and remained 25% of the time in post-op.

She was sent home; as this was outpatient surgery, but was referred to a cardiologist. My question is this:

Could the heartbeat issue be directly related to the anesthesia or is it truly likely that she has some sort of heart problem?
