Gretchen asked:


What’s your diet been like for basically your whole life (i.e. have you eaten anything wanted or mostly fast food, junk, etc). Are you at a healthy weight or overweight? How old were you when heart problems begin or have they at all?

I am wondering if there is a medical doc out there who could give me some insight into a situation with a loved one? He is diagnosed with heart disease and the related med. conditions that go with this dx. He has also had kidney stone problems, new issues, for the past two months. Seems after he binge drinks, only red wine, of course….Good for the heart. He has to miss work the next day and attributes it to upset stomack and kidney stone pain. He has been a long time heavy drinker for most of his life and he is 51. Tryglycerd. levels not in good zone and either is HDL, too low. Continues to drink and has become emotionally and physcially numb. Zero sex drive and desire for affection and wants to end our relationship because I need more. Many issues here. Is it the alcohol. I keep thinking he is going to die soon if he continues with his denial.

I was born with all these heart problems and had to have surgery when I was very young. Now I’ve been told that I will need more surgery in the future and I worry (I’m in college) that I won’t have health insurance soon, what do I do? I’m increasingly depressed and sometimes I think I should just end my life.

I just feel down and worried about having to deal with heatlh problems and insurance problems all my life.

If I do any vigorous excercize the day before I get on my period, then that night I will wake up with unbearable back pain. I will literally have to run to the bathroom, turn on hot water, and sit in the water until the pain is at leas bearable. Otherwise I KNOW I will die. That is how bad the pain is. And the whole time I will be screaming my head off and saying I am going to die because the pain is so bad. I have no idea why this happens. Sometimes I do not even do excercize, and it still happens. I also have problems with my heart, which can occur anywhere at any time. I will just be walking or standing or sitting somewhere, and out of nowhere my heart will start beating rapidly for no apparent reason. Lying down is literally the only thing that prevents me from having a heart attack. I am so serious. I know I will have a heart attack because I can literally feel it, and I get dizzy and practically faint. Does any of this ever happen to anyone else?

memyselfandi asked:


I’m filling out a family health history form for my doctor and it’s asking if anyone in my family has had coronary or congenital heart disease. I know my mom has heart disease but I don’t know which kind it is. One of the arteries to her heart was becoming blocked and they had to put a stent in that artery to open it back up - it’s called angioplasty. Is that coronary or congenital? Thanks.

AngieK asked:


I read in the Opera’s magazine that indigestion is a symptom of heart disease in women.

Is it a symptom ? If so how can that be?

Or do women just believe they have indigestion when indeed it is a pain being caused by their heart disease?

If you take medicine and it takes away the indigestion, then would it then not be related to heart disease at all?

Cheers.
