I was born with heart problems and now I have a pacemaker. I’m 20. I had to have a lot of surgeries to fix my problem and I may need more in the future. How do I not be depressed and scared about this? It seems like almost everyone else was born pretty healthy, why do I have to be born with this? What did I do wrong? How do I be happy about it? I have a horrible scar and nobody can really tell me whats going to happen with my condition in the future.

I work in cafe and a woman refused to take a cup of coffee the other day due to a small chip in the rim (the last mug in the whole shop on a bank holiday!!). She seemed very concerned we had a chipped mug and insisted we told our boss that chipped mugs cause heart disease. I really can’t see any reason for it to cause heart disease specifically!
Anyone out there capable of enlightening me?

I have not been able to find any information on wether people with health problems should take alli. My aunt and mother are taking alli but are concerned about having health problems. Does alli increase the chances of a heart attack? Is it ok for people with heart problems to take it?

watercolourheart asked:


I am a woman in my early 30’s & I have been very healthy all my life.Recently, I have begun to have sharp stabbing pains & pressure in the center of my chest. It is sometimes difficult to breathe & slightest activity increases the pain, for example, just bending over to put on my shoes.When I first wake up in the morning I am often light headed & generally very tired & weak.The pain was so bad today that I had to go to the ER.The doctor ran a series of tests (including an EKG, TB X-ray, etc.) & everything checked out fine.I was discharged the suggestion that maybe the pain was from muscular/tissue strain in the center of my chest & given a prescription for pain (Coedine).

Has anyone ever had similar problems but found out the exact cause, or does anyone have any ideas of what the problem might be? I have never been one to complain about pain, but this really hurts & seems to be more than just muscular/tissue strain. No history of heart disease in my family, I am not on any meds.
