Q: At what age do women experience symptoms of Heart Disease?
How early can the disease be detected?
A: 73. It can’t be detected. Doctors will always assume the symptoms are acid reflux. So if you regurgitate your food and you’re approaching the big seven O, you might want to start getting your affairs in order. Just kidding. Symptoms can occur at any age but usually begin during and after menopause. Yes heart disease can be detected early on and should be checked regularly if you have risk factors such as, diabetes, high blood pressure or cholesterol, family history. Don’t end up like my momma. The above story is true. it happened to her. Make sure you see a heart specialist, not some small town quack.

p.s. my paternal and maternal family have both heart disease heredity.
so it may be a heart problem.but i juz want to clarify with you guys
A: If you do not feel comfortable about yourself, go and discuss it with your doctor.. But do not be shy about getting a second opinion.. A stress test often exposes weakness in a heart and this test is readily available.. Ask for one..It is your body..
Q: What are Coronary Heart Disease symptoms?
A: It is where the arteries that supply the heart with blood have a build up of plaques which collects over time, made up of fatty substance, calcium occluding or stenosing (narrowing) the lumen (inside of vessel).
This could cause a blockage of blood flow and oxygen from getting to a particular part of the myocardium (heart muscle), causing a heart attack or death. Please see: coronary heart disease mayoclinic.com for a good resource. Heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States.
Symptoms of CAD: angina or chest pain which could radiate to jaw or neck or down arm, shortness of breath, dizziness, sweating, anxiety.
Q: Ways to improve congestive heart disease symptoms?
I’m interested in ways to improve a congestive heart disease patient’s symptoms, ie edema of the legs and abdomen, stomach aches, confusion, sleeping problems due to breathing issues, extreme fatigue. My Dad is suffering from various complications due to his congestive heart disease. He was an alcoholic for years, which led to his condition. After his last close call, almost had a heart attack, he has been sober for six months. He’s still a smoker, which I’m working on, he’s already tried chantix and ect, but if you know of a better way please share that as well! His doctor just keeps putting him on different meds, I’m wanting other avenues through lifestyle changes or any other kind of helpful tip to improve his symptoms and I would like to print off some literature to actually give him to read. Anything would be helpful!
A: Heart failure is a syndrome of ventricular dysfunction. Left ventricular failure causes shortness of breath and fatigue, and right ventricular failure causes peripheral and abdominal fluid accumulation; the ventricles can be involved together or separately. Diagnosis is initially clinical, supported by chest x-ray, echocardiography, and levels of plasma natriuretic peptides. Treatment includes diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, β-blockers, aldosterone antagonists, specialized implantable pacemakers, and correction of the underlying disorder.
Q: Are these symptoms of heart disease?
I get choking feelings sometimes, and experience extreme weakness. For 3 days now, I am feeling pain when I press the left side or when there is movement involving the upper chest,
just off the centre.Are these signs of a heart ailment. If it is not what should I do to help prevent this discomfort.
A: If you can reproduce the pain by pushing on an area of your chest, this is probably muscular in origin and you can take pain medication for this (tylenol or ibuprofen). If you are over 40, the rest of the symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor.
Q: Can someone tell me what are the symptoms of heart disease?
A: Chest pain with or without undue perspiration, breathlessness, giddiness, edema. Can be totally without symptoms also.
Q: Can gas cause heart disease symptoms? ?
As in palpitations, chest pain (different types, sometimes dull, sometimes sharp, sometimes radiating to the arm and occasionally the same thing on the right side of my chest), etc.? I had a heart workup, including multiple ekg’s, an echocardiogram, a stress test, and a 24 hour holter monitor, all negative. I need answers someone please help!
A: Yes, gas attack is the first thing doctors look for when a patient complains of those symptoms. Gas attacks are from bad digestion and NO, antacids are NOT the best solution. Most attacks are from NOT ENOUGH stomach acid and eating bad oils, like Vegetable Oils.
If you get any acid indigestion or reflux, chances are that you are having “gas attacks,” especially if your doctor can find no clear cut problems with your heart after doing all those tests.
good luck
Q: What are the known and unknown symptoms for heart disease?
A: High blood pressure will cause a stroke or heart attack alsopains in the chest and left arm then you call 911. heaviness in the legs while walking is a sign of heart problems have your colestrol checked if that gets to high that is bad for your heart I know I have had them all. Don’t take any chances. it’s not worth it. God Bless you.
Q: If an 18 year old has had symptoms of heart disease for 8 months is it too late?
If they went to the doctor today would they be ok, or would the doctors say you are too late?
SYMPTOMS:
Tingly feeling in back
Tiny wrinkles in back
Wierd feeling in my whole body(like something is touching my bare skin but it is not)
High BP
also the right side of my chest used to be the same as my left now it is bigger
A: The tingling symptoms you are saying are very interesting and should not alert you to think heart disease.
High blood pressure can cause heart problems but usually does not mean heart disease.
When an 18 year old has heart disease it is usually of congenital origin, meaning having it since birth.
If you have concerns about your health, see your doctor. However, these symptoms are not highly suggestive of heart disease.
Being “too late” would be something they would say if you died. Heart disease patients benefit from one thing, there is almost ALWAYS options to keep them alive, with the last straw being heart transplantation (very rare).
However, cancer patients (such as most pancreatic cancer) may find out that it is too late.
Q: Only serious answers please. What are the exact symptoms of heart worm disease?
How does the infestation happen? Does it first go through the stomach and then to the heart?
A: Heartworms go through several life stages before they become adults infesting the heart of the host animal. The worms require the mosquito as an intermediate stage in order to complete their life cycle and so at least two animal hosts other than the mosquito are required for the heartworm to reproduce. A mosquito ingests heartworm larvae, called microfilariae, from an infected host. The mosquito then transfers the larvae to another uninfected host when next it feeds. The microfilariae then go through several changes to reach adult form, eventually traveling to the right side of the heart to reproduce. Reproduction results in the dispersal of microfilariae into the bloodstream where ingestion by another feeding mosquito spreads the microfilariae to another host.
At this stage, the host dog will likely be asymptomatic. Once the infestation reaches a certain concentration in the lungs, the now adult worms migrate from the pulmonary artery to the right side of the heart and begin to reproduce in earnest, filling the blood with microfilariae. At this point the host will begin to show symptoms of infestation. These symptoms can manifest earlier or increase in severity depending on the activity level of the animals as infestation reduces cardio-pulmonary capacity. Very active animals may experience symptoms at lower heartworm concentrations and have more severe symptoms than less active animals.
Heartworms can reach up to 12 inches in length and can remain in the host’s heart for several years.
