I have heart problems in my family. I have had chest pain on and off for years. I have had abnormal ekg's and abnormal stress test. I was put on correg 12.5 mg bid. with good results for almost a year. Well the pain is back and ekg show more abnormalities. Doctor said I had bunnies ears on right bottom and now it is right upper and lower. Doctor said I had a blockage in my bundle branches. She explained the whole thing including pictures but I was so nervous I didnt get any of it. I am scheduled for a cardiac cath on the 12th. What good will that do? can they unblock it while in there? Why didnt she just increase correg? she was going to then decided to wait for cath results. My blockage in in my bundles, is this heart disease? can it be fixed? Do I have heart failure? Sorry for all the questions...but I need to know without any sugar coating or medical words. thanks so much for your time.

I have Dilated Cardiomyopathy. My ejection fraction was 45%, but now it is just above 30%. These past few weeks my breathing has got worse, and I have had an increase in chest pains. My husband says go to the doctor but all she says is it is part of what I have. I am already on two types of medication for my heart Ramipril, and Carvedilol. I have been told that I will die from this, and it could be at anythime.

But when I woke up today, I had been asleep for nearly 18 hrs due to tiredness, and I am unable to get out of bed because when I move around I really struggle to breathe.

I live in the UK, and I was wondering if there is any other form of treatment I could try instead of/or as well as Ramipril and Carvedilol.

If anyone can help I would eternally greatful.

Please only serious answers. Thank you.

sometimes my heart feels fast and my body feels a little shaky, especially when i'm cold or excited.
sometimes i actually start to shake and my pulse is super fast then.
it doesn't happen all the time?
it is normal or ok if it happens every once in a while? the second happens rarely more than once a month, if that even.

I'm wondering how could children- and I mean children under 18- suffer heart attacks and similar coronary diseases. The question came to me after hearing that heart disease can strike- and often kill- children, which could be a saddening loss in families. I've heard about it in advertising on the American Heart Association (correct?). Until recently, I thought heart attacks only happen to adults. So....can you tell me how could children suffer heart attacks and similar coronary diseases?

For a few days now, I've had these short episodes of shortness of breath where I have to keep yawning. My brother (med student) says that since I'm a teen still, my diaphram is growing and it's normal. But, today my heart sort of skipped a beat, it was scary as that is rare for me, and I had that yawning shortness of breath thing again. Is this normal for my age? Or.....

What should you do if someone is having a heart attack, other than calling 911? What can you do to help the person? If they are not conscious, should you perform CPR?

A very small/minor heart murmur is detected at birth and is assessed for a couple years after detection with no change.

1. Could it potentially get worse and cause problems during adulthood??

2. If so, what would make it worse??

3. What types of problems could arise??
