Sally T asked:


My paternal grandmother lived to be 83 years old despite having coronary artery disease and chronic atrial fibrillation for “years and years” as stated on her death certificate. Her official cause of death was stated as “congestive heart failure”. What I don’t understand is how my grandmother could live a relatively long life with her heart problems, yet my dad died from a massive heart attack at only age 53?

I have it all over my body. My legs are swollen, my hands, chest, and even eye lids, and everything. My heart has been checked, I have been checked for blood clots, and everything else is working fine. I don’t eat a lot of salt in my diet. I usually get this way in hot weather but lately it has been cold under 30 degrees F. Any suggestions?

I’ve had chest pains for about a year and a half already. I get them almost every day. Sometimes my heart will race really fast and about 10 minutes later I’ll have chest pains. When my heart is racing, from one beat to the next is slows down all of a sudden; it’s as if it has stopped, or will stop. Soo is a heart beat that beats really fast and then changes to slow suddenly potentially dangerous? What symptoms could this be related to?
