Avatar m tn I don't weight myself. Ever. You can tell if you're gaining weight by looking at yourself and whether your clothes are getting tighter or not. Weighing yourself on a chronic basis is an obsession -- the scale can't change your weight any. Now, weight issues haven't been a big part of my life except when I've been injured or from medication, and you probably have different issues.

Avatar f tn And it is understood there are broad ranges of aortic diameters sometimes listed as the normal size of the aorta spans a large variation of body sizes in the population and may be misleading regarding a given individual.

Avatar f tn I've been on Weight Watchers for 3 weeks now and have been to the gym every day for 10 days. My starting weight was 221 and I'm now 219. At the gym I usually use the eliptical for about 45 minutes with my heart rate between 160 and 180 the whole time. Some days I do crunches and lift some low weight dumbbells (I'm not trying to build muscle, I just broke my arm last year and am trying to get it back to normal).
Avatar m tn I have had high BP in the past (moderate, not very high) and also elevated cholesterol (total close to fine, but not a great ratio of good/bad) and very normal weight. Overall fit, good stamina. My doc advised me to be on BP and Statin drugs as pre-emptive therapy. My #'s have been great for years. Back to the annual work up: he's been doing the echo to measure my heart- primarily LV (filled) size which I understand to be a good early indicator of an emerging CM.

Avatar m tn when I look at the internet, the information seems to push away from stress being a cause. For example, the american heart foundation says that stress doesn't directly cause heart disease, it makes people take up unhealthy habits which lead to heart disease. The same goes for the british heart foundation. In the uk, the outlook on stress has been changing dramatically over the last 3 years, lowering stress levels where possible.
Avatar f tn I know its still pretty early but I know a few women who are a week or two behind and even ahead of me in their pregnancy. Most of them already have a pretty noticeable baby bump and admit to weight gain. This is my first pregnancy so I'm not sure if that's normal. Is it??

I was still worried about my heart so I got another echo at 15 days postpartum.

Avatar f tn Though there's a great deal of variation from person to person, on average it seems to depend somewhat on which PEG you are doing. PEG IFN alpha 2a (Pegasys) has a branched PEG molecule and many report the peak of their sides to be 3-4 days after the shot. PEG IFN alpha 2b (Peg-Intron) has a much quicker onset with the peak seeming to come a day or two after the shot and diminishing right about the time Pegasys reachs it's peak.
