Not saying this to scare you. I did see a program once that was done in England with their interbreeding of cavaliers. I don't remember the name of the disease. But apparently as they grow their scull is too small for their brain to grow in. In most cases the dogs were doing strange things (it was unbearably to watch). I'am not saying your dog has it, it might be a behaviour which vets can prescribe medications.
There can be chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a lung disease that causes a blockage or narrowing of the airways, the tubes in your lungs that air flows through. This results in a decrease in the flow of air, both in and out of your lungs. The disease has a slow, progressive course and is irreversible. Need to rule out or treat...its a serious medical condition.
You can do it, just take it one day at a time and keep in mind how good it will feel when you have won. I quit in 1984 after at least 25 years of smoking... yest I'm an old guy. It took me a log time to really hate smoke, but even that came. For a number of years I fend the smell of smoke distasteful, so I know I've won the battle.
That said, for patients that reject the treatment they often feel that they can tolerate any discomfort caused by this damage, and would rather enjoy life, spend time with their families etc then risk open heart surgery in an attempt to add a few more years to their life expectency.
Quality over quantity is the focus there, no different then a cancer patient that prefers not to risk an operation or chemotherapy.

ECG Sinus rhythm with premature atrial complexes ST & T wave abnormality, consider anterolateral ischemia, abnormal ECG

and sharp pain in chest that shoots out my shoulder blade when I raise my arm to put it on the computer desk that's when the tingling starts sometimes the tingling goes down the back of my left arm plus I been getting these pains in my left leg above the knee it's allways in the same spot but that just started about a month ago but all the rest has been going on about 2 years now
Breathlessness on exertion could be due to the decreased lung function. Again in cardiac disorders the heart is unable to pump the blood adequately, more so when subjected to stress like exercise. The chest pain could also be due to decreased oxygenation. Certain systemic disorders like anemia, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies and thyroid disorders can cause these symptoms.
I'm 22 years old & have been having strong palptiations in my heart since I could remember... but now they've gotten worse where I literally cough uncontrollably when one is happening... also I get strong pain shooting through my left side where my heart is at times. I' m wondering what this could be, I already have hypolgycemia but it doesn't matter if i've eaten or not this still happens...
They simply make a 1cm incision at the top of the leg, or in the arm, and everything is guided up to the heart through the arteries. No pain, no infection complications and the heart can start to recover almost immediately.
What type of test did your Mother have to determine the blockages? Maybe she had an Angiogram then? or was it a CT scan?
Nutrition is a very important component for good health, and an improper diet can cause CAD and heart problems in the long term. You may want to consult with your doctor to bring your physical conditioning to an acceptable level with a diet and exercise protocol. I don't know the significance of the ulcer for your low BMI, but that may need an intervention as well.
Mine has a little heart symbol that beats with each beat and I can use that to see if in fact my heart did skip a beat or whatever. You can document your findings in a journal as well and record using cell phone video proof of your heart beat jumping around. I would take the data back to the cardiologist and see what he recommends. If you have evidence of an arrhythmia I would hope that he put you on a 30 day monitor.
We fear not being able to complete a task, we fear not being able to pay the bills. We fear so many things in life that we are constantly in fight or flight mode and don't even realise it. When my Wife passed away, I basically gave up on everything. I even stopped all my meds and had another heart attack. However, I've since been convinced by my children to fight this and carry on. Through that time of depression I learned to laugh at fear and be in charge of it.
As for the HR of 130, even at rest, that high rate may be due to the activity of being in class more than any abnormal heart rate. Check your heart rate when turely at rest. Then it should be below 100 pbm to be "normal".
I believe young people tend to have higher HR than adults (over 18 years old).
Also i get burning sensations in my arms and shoulders and sometimes hands and feet. I also get a sharp pain in my chest every now and then all the symptoms i have normally last between 20 seconds to 5 minutes, Also have had a strange sensation in my sternum which made me go dizzy and feel like i needed to gasp for air. My chest Does not feel tight but sometimes for small spells can be irritating.
The answer is in my opinion could be in this sentence that you said:
"Not really active in sports or anything of that nature. "
Try exercising every day, start with 20 minutes, add every day 10 more minutes and go up to 2 hours a day. You will feel much better. Don’t tell you don’t have time for that, we all do, how many hours we spend with things that are not important , watching TV etc….think about it.
( and like others have said when i eat my heart races very fast sometimes i get shaky and feel very sick and have to lay down for a while..so now i try not to eat as much. is it mabey something to do with my liver? i dont know what is wrong with me and im scared that i will die young of a serious heart problem.. does anyone know what is wrong or had had the same symtoms and found out exactly what goes on? and is it something i will have to deal with my whole life..
Well it could mean your heart disease not quite but possible to come in the future.
I am a (usually) healthy 22yo male, with no history of heart problems, but for the last year I have been feeling really bad and it is driving me crazy to not be able to live my life as I used to. In the beginning I had a few panic attack where I ended up in hospital thinking I had a heart attack, but after doing EKGs the doctors said there was nothing wrong with me.
my doctor said i have scemia and also said i have damage to my heart from attack but didnt say how much. i also have alot of pain in my legs and arms from time to time like they are tierd, my legs when going up stairs. i have been off work for the last year, i wonder if my symtoms will ever get better, it seem i am only 1/2 of what i was.
