Avatar m tn I am a 39 yr old male with a long history of health anxiety. I have had the whole range of symptoms including aches, pains, twitching muscles, balance issues and all kinds of worries about my heart. I have had lots of other stuff but right now I am sure my forearms are losing muscle mass. It looks like my muscles on the top of my forearms are especially thin. My question or fear is, in horrible neuro diseases what point does muscle wasting happen?
Avatar n tn Before my heart attack my BP was fine and my cholestrol was good,however I have a family history of major heart problems.
Avatar n tn I looked and only found the health page about preparing for your doctor visit - it has some very useful tips. I could swear there is a page somewhere about constructing your timeline. Here's my timeline that I took for my first neuro vist, as well as a list of my doctors, dates of health events and tests, and what drugs I am on. Maybe between Rena's and mine you can get inspired to think about what had led up to this point. Good luck.

Avatar n tn I had a heart catherization done in Sept. 2003. I had good results, I was told I had no blockages/my arteries were clear. How long does it take for atherosclerosis to occur? Here we are in 2008, is it possible for me to have any atherosclerosis since 2003? I have some risk factors, those being overweight, high blood pressure and family history of heart disease on my father's side. I'm a 48 year old male. I take Norvasc and Toporol XL for my blood pressure.
Avatar f tn No one test can diagnose heart disease. Tests to help diagnose heart disease include: electrocardiogram, stress testing, echocardiography, chest x-ray, blood tests*, electron-beam computed tomography, coronary angiography and cardiac catheterization. * Blood tests can include total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, Lp(a), Apo A1, ApoB, CRP, homocysteine, BNP, fibrinogen, blood glucose/insulin, vitamin D, testosterone, estrogen.

Avatar f tn Does having a 45% ejection fraction on the stress test means one has a heart disease? Other symptoms includes chest pain, SOB when climbing upstairs, nearly syncopal event every time SOB and tachycardia happens. Stress test showed severely tachycardic, nearly syncopal episode on exertion and 45% ejection fraction. Ecg showed Borderline left atrial abnormality and the echo, according to the readiologist, showed increased in bulk. (Which was neglected on the final report).
Avatar f tn s improbable that I can keep loss of vision at bay forever. What is the timeline with this disease? I have dry type, but I don't know whether it's beginning, intermediate or advanced. From what I saw on the photos, I have round yellow drusen in both eyes (not the little pinprick kind). To my knowledge, this does not run in my family, nor am I a smoker. I have some weight to lose, but I am not obese. My BP is normal, but I'm not sure about my cholesterol. Thanks!
Avatar n tn I'm trying to get a timeline ready for my new neuro appointment next week. My problem is that I can't remember what happened when from July 2006-early 2008. I had a horrible episode that started July 2006 and was in an out of ERs, dr's offices and on so much medication for so many things that I really can't remember when the episode ended, when the next one started, what symptoms appeared when and when I had what tests. It's all run together.
255163 tn?1376869746 Do you have heart disease, or have you ever had a heart attack? This can be a little tricky because the statin mayvery well be helping with keeping your numbers down. Why does your Dr want you off of it? Are you having side effects?
237053 tn?1258828426 I had a brain MRI w/wo contrast done that was normal (except showed sinus disease). My neuro exam was also normal. The neuro didn't know what was wrong and said I may want to see a Rheum and ENT. Well I went to the ENT for the sinus disease and he suggested that I have sinus surgery. Well my symptoms dissapeared in beg Sept (4-5 months after onset) so I never had surgery and I just left it at that. I thought it was maybe just some weird virus or some weird fluke.
Avatar f tn I believe the persistent cough may be related to a 14 year pack a day smoking history. I am not sure if I scared this guy to death or what but he took off running after I started mentioning my symptoms and the possible HIV connection. What should be next testing date? It has been 6 weeks since my last sexual encounter with this guy.
Avatar n tn Hello, I am not a doctor or anything, but I would suggest that you stay up to date on your physicals and explain to your dr. that your family has a strong heart disease history. He or she may decide, that if your having symptoms of heart disease or if you have something that may turn into heart disease (such as high cholesterol- high blood pressure) than you may need to be treated or monitored closely.
Avatar f tn chest, dull pain primarily down my left arm, dull chronic headache, extreme fatigue. I come from a family with a history of heart disease. I had a stress test done 2 yrs ago, & everything looked fine. I am beginning to wonder if I could be a candidate for a clogged artery other than within the heart chambers? Or, could this be a sign of needing to review my BP med? Strangely, these symptoms stay with me pretty much throughout the day. I scheduled a Dr.
Avatar m tn Just wondering, what test do i take to check for heart muscle disease or to see if there is something wrong with the heart muscles that causes palps thanks
