Avatar m tn The good news is that bypass operations have become routine, and if the procedure is performed at a facility that does lots of them, mortality is very low, and recovery generally rapid. The extent to which he regains the ability to function normall depends upon the extent of the infarct (or area of necrotic tissue). All so-called "heart attacks" are not the same.
Avatar f tn lately i get constant pain up and down my arms and into my shoulders then center of my chest hurts and it feels heavy but not real bad it kinda feels like heart burn. the pain in my arms will only be in one arm at a time. the past 2 days the pain in arm and chest comes and goes..and i've read that in women symptoms are different sometimes than in men..im worried because the pain is becoming more frequent than it has been..
Avatar m tn I am a 48 year old white male, and I have already had a total of 5 heart attacks (all within the last 5 tears). At first my doctoer thought it was due to my low HDL, as it has been lower that 28 for the last 5 years. But after my last attack, about 3 months ago, the doctors are now thinking that my body is trying to reject the 3 stents the have pkaced in me. This last attack was pretty serious, and we are planning to have a defibri;ator implanted later this month.
Avatar f tn Nitro is not meant for the treatment of a heart attack and should never be taken for that without a doctors telling you to do so. Heart attacks are generally caused by either a plaque build up in the arteries or a clot and this means that the oxygen or blood flow is impeded. Lets just say for the sake of thought that you were having a heart attack and it was caused by a clot issue..
Avatar n tn s what you focus on. Try to avoid reading and listening to the bad things in the news it will only make you stress more. I avoid it at all cost. Good luck to you.
Avatar f tn I have panic disorder plus agoraphobia. I went for a checkup yesterday and my Dr ran an ekg, chest xrays, and blood work. He's now sending me for an eco on Thursday. He says I may have an enlarged heart chamber. I'm scared to death. Everything I read on this is awful and scary. Please I'm a wreck. Can someone talk to me about this. I'm having serious panic attacks now.
Avatar m tn My heart was racing, heart palpatations, sick to stomach, hot flashes, trembleing, etc. Took a Xanax right away. Thank God for those! I've been under a lot of stress with on & off attacks since Wednesday. I'm explaining all of this just to let you know I understand what you're going through & you are certainly not alone.
215289 tn?1253623341 Of course I'm not a doctor, but the first thing I learned is that heart attacks hurt no matter how you lie and doesn't change no matter what you do. I'm sorry you feel bad tonight. It's a horrible feeling. I'm here with you. And good luck on your test. I'm sure you'll do great!!!
237039 tn?1264258057 I have been given Morphine in the hospitals during my heart attacks, and most recently was given Morphine quite frequently. I was told last April, the reason they were giving me Morphine at short intervals is because it "oxygenates" the heart. As long as I had the chest pains they were administering the Morphine at 30 minute intervals. I protested the frequent use, but was told it was for that reason I was being given that much.
Avatar m tn everytime i hear loud shouting or angry or emotionally depressed or have seen a news which involved death even on cartoons or in reading flash news on tv it seems i felt this sensation beginning from my stomach then from my feet up then shortness of breth as if my body is trying to regulate my breathing, i felt this sensation that their is going something to happen to me, that is why i always pay attention to my heartrate and breathing, i dont know if their is really something wrong inside me or
Avatar f tn In my case, I have had heart attacks and have a couple of stents in my RCA. I suffer with alot of chest pains. So much so that I recently went to the ER thinking it was another heart attack. While there it was found that I suffer with coronary artery spasms and they do put me down. I have to stop what I am doing and wait for it to pass. There are other reasons for chest pains, and I wish there was a way to stop these.
Avatar n tn That said, I had a nasty side effect from the drug. My heart has been damaged from several heart attacks, which probably caused the afib... What drug are you referencing?
Avatar n tn My Dad had 4 heart attacks in his lifetime. They did a lot of damage to his heart (muscle tissue died from the lack of blood flow) but he continued on. Finally died from lung cancer (thank you cigarettes, but that's another story).
Avatar m tn Still, she should go in to have a heart check up and see if everything else is OK in there. There may be some small electrical problems that she's not feeling and they can see them then. Hope she gets some help and answers soon.
Avatar n tn Your basic heart rate is set by a specialized region of the heart called the 'Pacemaker.' Many cardiac muscle cells can contract spontaneously, but the cells in the Pacemaker region are, during fetal development, the fastest-beating ones, and the fastest ones normally dominate the whole show.
Avatar f tn Has anyone here noticed an increase in your heart rate since you started having panic attacks.When I stand and do regular activities my heart beats so fast.I started a beta blocker which didn't work.I prob will be starting on a new one soon.
1448936 tn?1363206346 t had the intense panic attacks i experienced in the weeks prior. I felt them creeping up but got them under control myself before they turned into a horrible attack. I was even able to fall asleep last night and saturday night without the help of a sleep aide. I just needed to share how well i managed this weekend..even though i thought this would be a horrible and anxious few days since my boyfriend has been out of town. I'm feeling really optimistic about everything.

4205995 tn?1351169508 If nothing can be found then you may simply need to be on meds to help control your heart from beating too fast. In general it isn't a danger to you so only as you work to keep it under control. So go and do some investigating and hopefully you can find the root cause and have a game plan to manage or correct the issue. Take care.
1194973 tn?1385503904 (They make a small cut in the femoral attery in your groin and thread a small tube with a camera up the artery and into your heart) They found that two of the four major arteries in my heart were both over 90% blocked. The surgeon said he was amazed I hadn't had a heart attack. So, did I know there was something THAT wrong with my heart? No. I later had two stents placed and not only did that odd burning sensation go away, I'm still alive. A real bonus in my book!
