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 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.

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 drink a lot of energy drinks; about 4 or 5 per day. I was getting heart palpitations, dizziness and blackouts so I have backed off a little. However, many of these symptoms are still there. Can those drinks cause permanent problems?

I’m 20 years old, and I had a lot of heart problems I was born with in my child hood. Now I have a pacemaker. I worry a lot that I’m going to die. How can I stop worrying?
