Heart Diseases

He smokes A pack of cigarettes a day, BUT Dosn't Eat meat, Eats healthy, hardly eats any dairy, and it dosn't run in his family. Also regular blood pressure and his body is very fit. Im just curious considering this is about my husband. I know smoking gives it a RISK, but so does everything else. So I was just wondering since it dosn't run in his family and he dosn't eat meat or much dairy, would his heart be something to worry about? Or would it be more of the LUNGs and cancers to worry about?

I had a nuclear scan (MIBI) and a stress test that showed questionable blockage in the left side of my heart. Problem is, is that I am allergic to CT dye which is what they use in an angiogram. Does anybody know any other type of test that can be done to look and see of there is actual blockage.

I have been having severe palpitations in my chest. Dr. did an ecg results not back yet. Was rushed to ER with severe pain and burning in my chest that radiatied down my arms and into my head. All their tests came back normal. What could be wrong? The doctor is still trying to figure this one out.

She comes from a family where just about everyone has high blood pressure and dies from either myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure.

She has been having (once or twice a week) what she describes as a fluttering in her chest, accompanied by an irregular pulse and breathlessness. She knows how to take a pulse cos her mum was a nurse.

She went to see the district nurse for a checkup. Her BP was 115 over 82 - nice and low for her.

The nurse said the fluttering/breathlessness was nothing to worry about, but I'm not so sure.

Any medically qualified people, or people with similar problems, got any advice?

Have MVP with mild regurgitation, 'palps', air hunger and ringing ears (more like a whine - drives me nuts!).

A crazed cardiologist has severed the bundle of HIS fibers in her patient’s heart. In the space below draw a picture of what the patients EKG pattern would look like immediately after surgery (assuming the patient survives). Label the P, QRS and T waves.

i was born with a heart condition called Tetralogy of the Fallot and i also have developed a problem with that called Pulmonary Stenosis. Me and my husband really want to have a baby in the near future but i am unsure if it will be safe or not, i have heard mixed answers. And I might have to go have another open heart (third) in the next year so now im really not sure. I am going to talk to my cardiologist about it on friday but I wanted peoples thoughts or advice who have been through high risk etc pregnancies, what do I ask the Dr. specifically and do I need to see a specialist besides my cardiologist? If it is a slight risk is it worth it. People have mentioned adoption but for since I can remember I have wanted nothing more than to carry my own baby and experiance everything that goes with it, and I want to give my husband a child. I really want to think about a baby soon I just want some advice. Thanks!

i got chest pain, shortness of breath, fast heart beat, sharp pain in stomach, back, arm, shoulder. they are all symthoms of heart disease. i just went to my doctor, and he gave me the usual response "let's do some test and we'll see the result in the next few days". i'm really worried about it. i mean, i don't want to wait a few days for the lab to do the stupid test. i mean by the time they send the doctor the result i could be dead. so my question is, if i go to emergency room, will they do the test immediately and tell me the result in a few hours?

i got chest pain, shortness of breath, sharp pain in my shoulder, stomach, back, fast heart beat. i know that they are all symthoms of heart attack. but the thing is they are not very serious. i mean... i'm not like grasping my heart and yelling for the pain like in the movie... but all the symthoms are there. i'm really worried about it and i wanted to go to emergency room. so my questions is, if i go to emergency room, although i'm not in as much pain as people in the movie, will they take care of me or they will ask me to leave and seek a doctor.
