Voting Question: I did a hard run 2 weeks ago, my heart feels increasingly fluttery since. is it a symptom that I can die soon?
also, i have a history of arythmia and tachycardia, that I pretty much ignore. probably shouldn’t be running in the 1st place. only 35, but i guess i could die if i push it too much…
don’t know if its because i am stressed out lately, or because i overdid it on this run. i also feel this ‘tremble’ through my body at times through the day and especially at night when i am laying in bed. is that nerves? or maybe my heart fluttering is felt like a body tremble?

Open Question: PLEASE ADVICE ANYONE!!!!?
My son was born two months early last month. He has been diagnosed with reflux and has a small heart murmur, that is expected to close. He is coming home this week on a apnea monitor because during his refluxing episodes he stops breathing. I am single mom and have two other children that attend daycare, but my newly son can not. He came early and I wasn’t prepared. I have to work, I have already taken off a couple of weeks after he was born and to be with him at the hospital. I can’t take off much longer because I am not getting paid and savings has run dry..but my newborn needs me at home..after reading a couple of websites my newborn is considered a “special needs child” at the moment..so I was wondering is there some type of benefit I could receive so that I could stay at home and take care of him until he gets better without losing everything.

Open Question: Caring for a cat with a heart murmur?
I adopted a selkirk rex kitten from a cat show yesterday, she is 14 weeks old, has already been spayed..(weird, she’s so young) and she has a heart murmur. The breeder says she might grow out of it. She isnt sluggish, more active…she likes to run around and attack toys. We’re taking her to a vet this afternoon. What are some warning signs to look out for?

Open Question: Can I get my pectus excavatum fixed for cosmetic reasons? mine might be more that that though?
I have mild pectus excavatum I bought a vacuum bell over summer because I was told that it would fix it over a period of time so I wear it usually every night. I am 17 years old and I went to the doctors last week and the guy told me that I had a level 1 heart murmur but it was nothing to worry about. He said it was because of the epctus excavatum then he noticed that i had spots on my chest from the vacuum bell cause it pulls the blood up to the surface of your chest like a hicky so then I told him about it and he told me that it wouldnt fix it even over time. Then I felt like total shit because that was my only hope of acualy fixing my P.E. Then he told me that I couldn’t get surgery for it anywhere if it was only for cosmetic reasons. Is this true or is he wrong? I hate my body so much and I just want it fixed, my mom thinks its not a big deal but anyone can say that until they are in the same problem. It just sucks so bad and makes me feel like nothing because I can’t do anything about it. Sometimes I get reallly light headed and my heart punds really hard where it starts to hurt and i get really hot and start sweating and I told him that and he didn’t really say anything about it and im guessing its from the P.E. so maybe mine is more that cosmetic?
I don’t know what that is, but when i went to the doctors he scheduled 3 appointments I had to get blood drawn then i’m going back to the doctors tomorrow. I don;t even know what they were all for. One was for orthopedic or something, one was for blood, and the last i don’t even know I’m going to them this week tho. Also in the corners of both of my eyes they are noticably yellow but the doctor said he didn’t think it was jaundice

Open Question: 2:30 am, anyone else dealing with anxiety?
so…since my mother in law died about 9 months ago, i started to get bad anxiety attacks. she died of a heart attack, so of course i would start to think that I’m having one, but it’s gotten worse, with the shit economy I’ve been laid off for about 8 months now, so all i do is sit here and just think about stuff. Every little thing scares me, i got bit by a tick yesterday, so now all the sudden I have lymes disease, I have thought about going to the doctor over my anxiety, but haven’t over the fear that what if something is actually wrong, it’s one thing after another, and now i can’t sleep…awesome.
ya, right after i pulled the tick out i was on the internet for 3 hours just reading, making myself sick. this is just stuff that i deal with all the time, i just have to realize for the most part i’m going to know if i need medical attention, so i need to work on just calming myself down. thank you for your answers by the way, it’s always comforting to know that someone else knows what i’m dealing with.

Open Question: Why is it racist to say whites age faster than people of color?
Why is it racist to say whites age faster than people of color? It’s no more racist than to say African-Americans are prone to heart disease and diabetes or Hispanics of color sometimes have a higher birth rate. yes we all grow old but that doesn’t mean all of us get wrinkles when we hit our 40’s. so whenever you hear a black person say blacks don’t crack for those who are white and born fair-skinned take no offense to the saying or this question.
