Open Question: Heart Problems in Infant?
My doctor just told me today that my 2 month old son has a heart murmur. My husband has two different heart disorders - Atrial Ectopic Tachycardia and Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia. I don’t know if those can be passed down genetically. Should I be worried and if so, who should I contact? I live in a very small town with no specialists or anything.

Open Question: Mystery to break-through bleeding..can any one help with information?
These were my symptoms: ( Dated April 2009 )
Bleeding:
Previous was two weeks before period ? one-three days ? very light sometimes brownish and sometimes fresh bright red
Now ? two weeks before period and one week before period - one to three days ? one day enough to wear pad and add?l days a light to wear liner
Having lower back aches and a feelings of pinching and light burn near inside of hip.
Birthcontrol changes ? yasmin, tri-clycen, generic yasmin ? yasmin is best for while then got worse
When intercourse lots of fresh bright red blood. This happens during those weeks. On the only good week ? no blood with intercourse.
In certain sexual positions sharp pain with each thrust.
Every time after intercourse have feeling best described as very light ? not enough to really bother cramping
Have had a clear healthy vaginal sonogram already
Moods ? week before and week of period ? feel like if someone looks at me wrong I could cry. All around just slow or kinda? down feeling.
Symptoms/reasons for concern for possiblilty of thyroid or diabetes:
Dry skin ? mostly hands and legs
Shaking ? gets very strong if not eaten
Digestive problems ? constipation if fiber not taken ? can go 2-3 days w/o movement and then suddenly can?t stop going
Flatulence ? worst at first wake up, around 5-6pm, and after dinner
Strange dreams
Coldness when everyone else is hot
Lethargy
Irregular periods ? break through bleeding more often
Headaches ? if not eat on time
Light-head feeling ? if not eat on time
Family history ? see below
Frequent urination - I drink a lot of water so it may be why
Sensitive gums
Bruise easy ? sometimes will have bruises that don?t know where came from
At least two incidences of almost passing out
OK….. update now….. as of April 2010…
I went to doctor about all of the above and she suggested a low estrogen level and switched my birth control to Femcon. Now the bleeding has gone back to just when I’m ovulating (two weeks before my actual period). My period is the same though - one day of EXTREME pain and heavy bleeding and then usually 3 days of just moderate yet tolerable flow and pain and ending in a day of very light flow with little or no cramps. I’m still having the back pains when ovulating. So, my situation has technically improved from before yet I’m still bleeding when I’m not on my period which really puts a damper on my life. It still hurts in certain positions of intercourse so I avoid those positions. However, no bleeding after intercourse.(Maybe because I avoid those positions - I don’t know for sure) I’ve visited an endocrinologist and all my levels of everything are fine. I’ve had a vaginal sonogram and nothing is there. WHAT IS GOING ON?? I just want an answer. : (
I have had these problems now for almost 6 or 7 years. It is very depressing.
I also have problems with my stomach being very sensitive and a lot of gas / bloating issues.
