heart problems in your 20's

If it was a PVC (which causes a pause in the heart beat) it wouldn't take 2 minutes to recover. I wonder if you're having episodes of bradycardia, a slow heart beat. Have you tried to take your pulse during those 2 minutes? If the rate is under 50 beats a minute, then you may have a problem. Follow up with your doctor; s/he may suggest you wear an event monitor for a month.

aspx Figure your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220 - 22 = 198 I suggest buying a heart rate monitor that straps around your chest and the other part goes on your wrist like a watch. You want to get your heart rate 65% to 85% of your maximum rate! That would be 128 - 168. It's important to first do your strength training first and then the cardio. last! The cardio will only take 20 minutes. Check the link that I posted above. Get the OK from your doctor first!

Hello! Did your regular OB do the u/s or a perinatologist? Reason I ask, if you are over 35 and are at your stage of pregnancy, your Ob will usually recommend a Level II u/s or "Targeted study "which gives a more precise reading of your baby's measurments and growth. Apparantly, there are different levels to u/s and what they detect, so when you go to your regular OB, readings are pretty general, basic, nothing high definition...

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.

First symptoms in late 20's, now in my late 40's. I am symptom-less most of the time and am on copaxone just after diagnosis in Aug of 2010.

Well, I am positive you won't drop over any minute because the doctor would have done more than just call you. But what is it with some doctors. Why is it we have to be so persistant with them to just get information to help reasure us that we will be okay. I would call him back tomorrow and just ask him to explain the level of his concern regarding the 20 pvc's in a row. I can tell you that 3 pvc's in a row is not dangerous in a structurally sound heart.

My resting heart rate is about 120. I've been seeing a personal trainer to try to make it stronger but according to her observations my heart has been able to take less and less over the last few months. I get random chest pain, and sometimes it's so bad I have a hard time moving my left arm. It causes strain in my neck and joints, particularly on my left side. I've had my cholesterol checked and it's fine. Same with my thyroid.

I saw consultant cardiologists at 9 different hospitals and not one had the expertise or confidence to even attempt removing my blockage using stents. The blockage was an inch long at the top of the left artery and every cardiologist estimated it as too risky. They quoted a 20% chance of death. I then approached a research/teaching institute in London where the professors work and managed to persuade one cardiologist to look at my coronary artery images.

If it might possibly be you, then get back with your doc and begin to explore your options to deal with your anxiety, since your heart is healthy as a horse! (Or go on over to the "Boob" forum and see what advice they have for you!) With the right help, your quality of life will soon be what is what and what you deserve!

As the incidental result of a cardiac CT scan for my heart problems, the radiologist noted 'degenerative changes' in my spine in the area of focus - upper chest CT for ascending aortic aneurysm. This was in comparison to the previous year. I've known I've had back problems from L2 to L5 for a while - lumbar radiculopathy specifically.

My heart rate is repeatedly in the 30's and my fatigue has increased tremendously. My doc is rechecking me in a month for prolonged QT. Should I be concerned? Doc has zero urgency and has not referred me to a cardiologist yet. My father had a pacemaker and I am afraid to be heading down his same road. I just can't shake the fatigue and sometimes dizzy. At 57, never had a stress test but other doctors keep asking me if I've had one. My doctor didn't see a need.

I have a family history of heart diease and just had a nuclear stress test with some bad results. I am scheduled for a heart cath on the 8th. The problems it says in the report can be reversed with ischemia. What does this mean, and what does reduced radiotracer activity mean?

But normally my doctor would only do 2, one at 20 weeks and one at 36. Seems to me like in your case your doctor would want to be monitoring your placenta a little more closely.....

Thanks a lot for your knowledge. I ended up going to the ER yesterday because everytime i stood up i felt dizzy, lightheaded and thought i was going to faint. I ended up getting an EKG, chest x-ray, and urinalysis all coming back fine. They said i might have a pull/strain in a midback muscle connected to the spine which would create discomfort breathing and tightness, and maybe that coupled with the withdrawal symptoms explains my situation.

Im a male in my early 20's in good physical shape and recently I have been experiencing some erection difficulties. It started a few months ago when I noticed that it took me longer to achieve an erection then I used to. I can still achieve a full erection only if there is some type of touching and physical stimulation involved.

Sirak, I had been in persistent A-Fib and SVT for a year Arrhythmic problems for 20 years. My two brothers both had two Catheter Ablations one they killed his sinus node the other they infected his Aortic Valve, he had to have open heart to replace the valve. After those two failures I was not going to have a Catheter Ablation. A friend told me to look at www.ohioafib.com I did and Dr. Sirak ended my Arrhythmia problems in three and one half hours! You may want to look at his video!

Since September 2008 I have been having rapid heart beat and an almost popping sensation in my chest where my heart is. It started off feeling as though my heart was a balloon and it was trying to expand in my chest and when it got full it popped, forcing air out of my throat and causing me shortness of breath. This started to happen maybe once a week...and then once every few days...and then once a day...and finally a couple of times a day.

i kept watching other ladies u/s on youtube and made sure i know where heart is... and as soon as tech started u/s i saw heart flickering after that i wasnt even bothered. lol to be honest i had no idea what will happen but i just wanted baby to be alive... everything went fine i was exactly 20+2 days... my lil boy was so active... its ok to feel nervous but stress your self over it.. thats just you being caring mother.. =) best of luck with your scan and i am sure everything will be fine..

If the doctor told you that you have cardiomyopathy, the next step would have been to send you to a cardiologist to be monitored and some treatment plan put in place. It's not something you can fix on your own like a head cold. Did the doctor refer you to a cardio?

Did this start while smoking or after stopping? I quit smoking 2 1/2 years ago and I noticed that for the first couple of months I felt a little anxious, heart fluttering and flopping around. I also get the fluttery feeling after eating, which is when I would have had a cigarette. After first quitting, I also felt like I wasn't breathing deep enough. Yawned a lot. I think that was all cigarette and anxiety related.

Ed34 offers excellent questions. The fact that the Ejection Fraction can be improved with medication and lifestyle changes makes this a thorny issue. My ejection fraction over the past twelve years has jumped from the 20's to the high 40's, and back, I'm assuming your husband has gone through cardiac rehabilitation. What was the assessment after those sessions? I'm guessing what the rehabilitation people reported will be important.

I currently have stents and a ICD implant. I currently take plavix, coreg, zocor and a blood pressure med. The stents and ICD were done about 5-6 yrs ago. At the time my EJ was about 20 and now it is in the low 40's so I am pleased with this but my question is what can I do to get my EJ higher. It has been flat for the last 2 yrs. I do exercise daily and watch my diet.

okayi am 23 and my pregnancy has been nothing but crazy for the first 11 weeks i bleed then at 12 weeks (me just being so happy that i made it too 12 weeks) i had an u/s and found out that my unborn child had an nt of 5.2 after seeing conseling and may blood work. i opted for the amnio (doctor was posstive some kind of chromosome problems) we just found out the other day that there is no chromosone problems and that its a GIRL (very happy me and my other half have two boys age 4 & 6) .

Your problems may from a viral or bacterial infection, trapped nerves, heart. Lower back problems would give you symptoms in your legs; upper back problems can cause symptoms in the arms. Ibuprofen does not suit everyone and can cause reactions. Vitamin B12 is a good vitamin to take with regard to pins and needles that are not related to trapped and pinched nerves.
