Heart Flutters

Open Question: I HAD a heart murmur when i was 10, should i take this pill?

March 13th, 2010 Open Question: What do I do if someone is in love with me but I don’t love them? And I am in love with someone else?
Typical drama, yes, I know. I’ll use the alias’ again.
Lets say the guy who is my age is called Bob. The guy who is a few yrs older than me is called Dan.
When me and Dan got in sort of an argument because of a disease-scare, which put everyone in a bad place, Bob comforted me and said Dan was an a**hole because he thought he was lying…
When Dan didn’t talk to me, Bob did. Bob became my best friend and we started getting a little romantically involved. The thing is- I am in LOVE with Dan. Things are better now between us and we talk every single day. He is much more outgoing, interesting, and a bit more articulate than Bob.. Bob is a little immature and can pester, though he is caring and a good listener. I don’t know if this quite makes sense- I suppose you can relate this to the Twilight love triangle for those who have read the series.
I love Dan.
Dan loves me too, but he lost his fiance last year and says it will take time for him to gain the same kind of love for me,
Bob loves me and wants me to be with him, but my heart says otherwise. Help. Bob is too much of my friend to get into a relationship with him

Open Question: I HAD a heart murmur when i was 10, should i take this pill?
I got tested for a heart murmur when I 10. It was not serious and it was what 50% off kids aorund that ge get. I had a sonogram and my heart was a strong and healthy heart. 3 months later it went away and never came back. Now, i am taking the SAT’s tomorrow. i hav taken Ritalin (a drug used for people with add) a few times before. It made me evry focused. i have ADD but never got any medication fro it becuase we forgot to go back to the doctor. My question is, should I take it and why.
Some more background info.
I am very healthy. My Grandpa is the only family history of heart problems. He had heart disease but it was from him smoking. He smoked 2 packs a day since he was 11 and still alive. My sister uses Ritalin and is fine. never had any health problems.
Ok well im just gonna say it one more time.
Although i have not had a murmur for a very long time, my heart is healthy and the murmur i had was not dangerous to my health at all when i had it. Should i take it.
Also i don’t care if you say well you shouldn’t because it is cheating or because there is a chance of it killing me. There is always a chance of dying with anything you have. any pill. anything. Please just tell me if this will really affect my heart

Open Question: Heart Disease questions ?

March 12th, 2010 Open Question: previous heart troubles?
Hello everyone!
When I was 16 I had an ablation for SVT, an abnormally high heart rate. Ever since then, im 19 now, I have been feeling fine and everything. Recently I was diagnosed with asthma and was put on advair, the lowest dose. It seems to work during the day and I have not had any wheezing symptoms as long as I take it on time. Now the real question is, I have been having trouble breathing at night time only. I feel like Im out of breath and have to take deep breathes to get any relief. My roommate mentions that I have been breathing really fast all night long. My feet have been feeling cold, and my doctor recently heard a heart murmur at a checkup. Do you think this has to do with the advair not being strong enough? or could this be heart related? I will call my doctor in the morning, but figured I would ask others before I worried myself.

Open Question: I’m not sure if I’m overreacting…?

March 11th, 2010 Open Question: 4 month old puppy and a heart murmur?
My 4 month old, 4.5lb JRT-Dachshund mix was diagnosed with a tiny heart murmur a few days ago at her last vet visit. They want her back in 3 weeks for a check up.
Will she be okay? Does it hurt her? Will she get over it? What are all the possibilities to what could happen to her?
He also said it could’ve been caused from when she had parvo.
She’s my little survivor.

Open Question: Please help me quit track?

March 10th, 2010 Open Question: Please help me quit track?
Ok, I joined track about a week ago, but haven’t been able to play because I haven’t had a physical. After I got my physical they thought they heard a heart murmur and I was very dehydrated, so I got an echo yesterday(for those who don’t know it is a test to see if something is wrong with your heart). I won’t get my results back for like a week, so I just have to sit out for track. I have been watching everyone, and now I really don’t want to do this. How do I quit with no reason at all, and how do I convince my mom? Also, my track coach is going to be my math teacher next year and I don’t want weird vibes. Thanks!

Open Question: Ovaries- Remove or Not ?

March 9th, 2010 Open Question: Ovaries- Remove or Not ?
My doctor found a very small solid mass on my left ovary through a vaginal sonogram of which he described as “weird” I had a blood test (CA 125) and it was 45. He sent my information to the Oncologists of Gynecology and he called me to tell me that they do not believe it is Cancer, but he said he is scheduling me to have both my ovaries removed and that I would go into instant menopause of course. Since I am 53 , I replied - Oh that’s o.k. I did not plan on having anymore children. Since I am new to all this, I am discovering that there are so many bad things that could happen to my body after this…heart disease up 7x osteoporosis and lung cancer (even in non smokers). Many well written articles do not recommend taking out the ovaries just to be sure.
What else can I do?
Why can’t they just open my up and take a sample for a biopsy?
What is going on here?

Open Question: my old females coat has become really oily over the years what can i do?
Ok well i have a 14 yr old lab mix. She has always had skin problems but in the past year ive noticed her coat has been getting more and more oily. I took her to the vet for her check up about a month ago almost two (she has a heart murmur and has to be seen every 4 months) and he suggested some dog shampoo, i can’t remember the name right off my head, but anyway idk what happened im guessing it was to strong for her skin but her skin got really dry and a couple spots on her her hair feel out! I discontinued using it and got her a Natural shampoo with oatmeal and got her dry skin under control and her hair is starting to grow back but her coat still gets oily, the vet said she has (i have no idea how to say or spell it) something were her skin n coat and producing to much oil and theres not alot we can do for her, he said it doesn’t seem to affect her none but i personally don’t like it it and think she would enjoy being her old self. Is there any shampoos or conditioners for dogs not people please, that you guys might know of that would help. And remember it has to be mild i don’t want her bald and its to cold here for that.

Open Question: Is this normal? (heart related question)?

March 9th, 2010 Open Question: Is this normal? (heart related question)?
Mk, i do have a pulminary stenosis condition with my heart and last time I was checked I had that, and some sort of click with my heart beat. I haven’t been checked since, that was 6 years ago, there’s a story behind it which I am in no position to get into because it is really no ones buisness but my familys and mine.I’m supposed ot go under for surgery in a few months for my jaw, and they want me to get my heart checked out to make sure its okay for me to do it. I have been having chest pains lately and I am not sure if its related to any of it in a way, but is that normal. Its happened like 6 times, ive been very tired lately sleeping alot and should I mention this when I get in to go see the new cardiologist or is this just normal for me because of my pulminary stenosis, and the heart murmur or whatever it was called I can’t remember that far back. I also did have open heart surgery when I was 6 weeks to clamp one valve because it was always open or something, but it was botched and fell off a few days later, again i am not getting into it, i dont know the full story. But is that normal and SHOULD I mention it?

Open Question: I Need Some Biology Help Please!?

March 8th, 2010 Open Question: What do you think of this part of my story? I edited it….?
My breath came in short, quick gasps. I could feel my energy waning. And yet, I still had to keep going. This was my only chance. Our only chance. My life and his?intertwined from day one, though unapparent for at least a few weeks.
Since I hadn?t been paying attention to where I was going?running, really?my foot caught in a small divot in the dirt road and I plunged toward the ground. My face hit the gravelly dirt first, resulting in bruises and cuts, no doubt. But there was no time to think about that now. I struggled unsteadily to my feet again and lurched forward, running again.
It probably didn?t help that I had no idea where I was going. Ian would?ve been able to help me. If he?d been here, I probably would?ve yelled to him, ?You know where we?re going, right? We?re not heading back to a horde of angry Beneath-ers, right?? He would?ve calmed me, comforted me, and made me feel safer. Yeah, but he wasn?t here. He was locked up somewhere, and I had no way of reaching him. It would only be a matter of time before they realized I was missing and came after me, too. I could practically already hear their heavy footfalls coming right behind me, the bray of their hunting dogs and their keen noses, already onto my scent?
Shut up, Cynda! I told myself furiously, shaking my head as I continued to run. This is NOT going to help anything! Or so I told myself. That was the slightly smart part of my brain talking.
All of a sudden, a bright light flared up ahead of me. I skidded to a stop, my eyes wide. My heart was pounding in my throat, and my breathing kicked up a notch. What was this?
?Cynda!? a voice hissed. A familiar voice.
?Ann?? I hissed back when her face came into focus. Anyone familiar now was a welcome. ?Jesus, you nearly gave me a stroke!? I glanced behind me. ?Do you have somewhere to hide? I?m kind of in a hurry??
?Oh, yes, of course,? she said, beckoning me toward her. I looked closer and saw what appeared to be a cave, a hole in the wall. Not caring what it was, I pushed past Ann and stole into the hole, ready to curl up in a tiny, frantic ball if need be. But I didn?t have to. There was plenty of room. Ann came into the cave with me, pushing something over the entrance. Irrationally, my heart skipped a beat, watching her blocking the exit. She had a candle in one hand, and it lit up the cave. She turned toward me with an apologetic look on her face.
?I?m sorry, Cynda,? she murmured, her eyes darting down to her hands. Mine did, too, and saw a sharp dagger in them, glinting silver in the candelight?.
