heart disease killer

It is also a major cause of disability. There are many different forms of heart disease. The most common cause of heart disease is narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart itself. This is called coronary artery disease and happens slowly over time. It's the major reason people have heart attacks.

I will start looking as I know how important awareness is and how heart disease can effect not only the patient but everyone in the family. My mom has heart disease and my stepfather of 28 years (more like a dad) died from heart disease. So I will do.

I was just wondering why ovarian cancer is called the "silent killer" when it seems to have so many symptoms??? Hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question, but surely so many women with OVCA just don't happen to find out they have this terrible disease by chance, without symptoms. Also, when it is first suspected, how long do the majority of sufferers have the symptoms before DX ? I would really appreciate some feedback on what made everyone suspect things weren,t right.

I'm just wondering if I should call and ask the doctors office or what. I never once called with my first pregnancy and haven't with this one either, so they'll know I'm kinda worried. Heart disease is the number one killer in my family, my great grandparents, my grandparents, and aunts and uncles all suffered heart disease. So my mom and siblings and I are all just waiting for the day we get diagnosed :/ it's very strong in our genetics.

To answer the question in your second post. NO! Heart disease, and brain cancer, heart disease, and Parkinson's are NOT complications from Hep C. Why in the world would anyone think that?

From what I understand from the brief report is: you had an inferior wall myocardial infarction (IWMI). You now have a normal sinus rhythm (NSA) with a slightly decreased pump function of the heart (MILD LV DYSFUNCTION) The coronary angiography (CAG) shows that you have blockage in two coronary arteries So, you suffered a heart attack and are diagnosed with multiple vessel coronary artery disease (CAD).

how quickly does coronary artery disease develop? Do heart attacks occur without coronary artery disease?? im 24 and worry so much about my heart. i do have generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. i was running 12 miles a week and lifting weights but i am afraid to now. i have a poor diet and use tobacco dip a can a day keep one dip in for about 15 min.

Ahhhh I am 35 weeks and this heartburn is killer!!!! What do you girls do?? I tried all medicines none work!! I can't sleep or anything!!! Help!!!! :( Home remedies!?

No no no, do not the advil, not safe during pregnancy!!!! Only Tylenol is safe. Advil/ ibuprofen will close up a hole in the babies heart and kill it. Don't the anything but Tylenol. Look up advil and closing of the fetal patent ductus arteriosis.

please find an endometriosis excision specialist...the sooner the disease is excised the sooner you will feel better...your dr. should have referred you to a specialist rather then masking the symptoms with BC...this is nothing more then a band-aid. Get copies of your records and send them off to a specialist for evaluation...many do this for free! If you need help in locating a true specialist...let us know city/state or providence/country and we will try to help you!

Also, I do not think most women are aware of the fact that heart disease is the number 1 killer of women. With so much emphasis put on breast cancer, the problem with heart disease is not of any worry to most women. After raising 4 kids with a full time job and a husband that worked many years out of town, I am now raising 3 young grandchildren with a full time job.

The shortness of breath and chest pain could be from coronary heart disease, which is a build-up of plaque in your arteries. Coronary artery disease develops as a result of damage to the blood vessels caused by smoking. The most common symptoms of coronary artery disease include chest pain that feels like pressure or squeezing and shortness of breath. This also could potentially be the initial signs of a heart attack. Heart attacks are the number 1 killer of women.

It is worth just mention and check up with your doctor,heart disease is the number killer of women. And believe me no one thought I was heart attack material, you dont have to have any other signs or symptoms to have heart disease. Go to your doctor.

My left arm became very weak, and I could feel some kind of flip flopping in my heart. I became really nervous. There is still some mild pain in my chest and crampiness in my arm. I have had arrythmias for some time and have noticed quite a few recently. Could I have possible had a heart attack? I am a 38 yr. old female. Also, if I were to be okay for the evening and go see my doc tomorrow, would he be able to tell if I indeed had a heart attack with blood work or EKG? Thanks so much!

Ughhh waking up at 215am with killer heart burn! I haven't had heart burn this whole time, so i guess that's not too bad. I'm 22 weeks. I keep poppin tums but they wear off so fast. Any mommys have tips on how to ease it??

leukemia or lymphoma, pagets disease, thyroid issues, menopause, reaction to medications. dental problems would not cause these problems.

According to the American Heart Association "Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in the U.S., and physical inactivity doubles the risk!" Start walking and start reducing your risk. Support the fight against heart disease by participating in National Start Walking Day, Wednesday, April 16, 2008. For this special day: Show your support and wear your sneakers to work. Take a 30-minute walk during the day. Make your pledge to live a longer, healthier life.

This is an example of why we should all take things related to our hearts very seriously. Heart disease is the number one killer in this country. May his family find peace in this terrifying time of mourning for him and may he be remembered by his countrymen for the outstanding person he was!

Dear Pamela I'm so sorry for you loosing your Brother to this disease of alcoholism.. It is heart breaking to read of his family's pain..

My heart breaks for his pain and suffering in this disease and all yours pain for loosing someone you all loved so much.. Condolences.. May the Creator Guide and Protect his loved ones..

That's the sound of me dragging out that soapbox for my annual lecture. Pull up a chair, and please pay close attention because this message could save your life. Tomorrow is GO RED day in the U.S. Nope, not turning communist, but wearing red to raise heart health awareness for women. Do you know that heart disease kills more women than the next 6 or 7 causes of death, COMBINED? You might not because there is nothing sexy or glamorous about dead women. They die.

Since it is a risk factor for heart disease and stroke, this is important to find out. The current recommended treatment is niacin in a dose of 1-3 grams daily. However, please do not take it without asking your doctor. Take care!

please learn about heart disease and organic natural nutritional supplement than will improve your heart condition.

Thank you for your time. I know that my LAD has no calcification. The number was zero. Your number is extremely high. I know that I have plaque halfway down the abdominal aorta vessel. I don't think that is consider heart disease maybe aorta disease. (not sure) Once again thank you for your time.
