Cardiopathy is a blanket term it simply means cardio-heart, pathy-disease. "Disease of the heart" How many pages shall I type on heart problems? Pretty wide question.

it could be post tramatic stress syndrome where you are worried about it happening again and your body goes into a phase where it reacts as if its happening again. the orgasim thing i wouldnt worry to much about. for the last 6mo, i have been having chest pain and if you look at every medical website out there, and i told you the symptoms that accompany my chest pain you would tell me i am having the exact symptoms of a heart attack. i have been to a cardiologist and have had many, many tests done and there is nothing wrong with my heart, lungs or anything in my chest. the very idea that i will have an attack will bring on an attack. you could be experiencing the same thing. the fear that it will happen again makes your body react to the way it reacted when the action took place. i would talk to a family dr about it and see someone about it. usually you can see someone for about 20 mn once a month, just to give them updates and such, and it is very affordable. also, you might try to go to webmd.com and read about home treatment for panic attacks.

If you mean why does it feel as if your heart is beating in your head or hand or foot, etc?  Well sometimes when your blood pressure changes the added intensity of flow will cause your extremity to "beat" but it is just your blood moving through your arteries and each "beat" is a surge of blood.  It happens when you have been exercising, get excited, have a sudden bust of adrenaline or even if your circulation was temporarily cut off and it has recently been restarted (like when you sit on your foot or cross your legs).\n\n\nIts nothing to worry about unless it happens a lot.  If it happens often you could have hypertension and should ask your doctor about it.

Without doing medical testing, it would be impossible to tell what was happening with your heart.  However, from the description you gave, it sounds as though it could have been an episode of something called supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), in which the right atrium, or upper chamber, of your heart, spontaneously generates an inappropriately rapid electrical signal, stimulating the heart to beat in excess of 150 bpm.  This may or may not be what was happening when you felt your heart beating rapidly.  Regardless, you need to tell your parents or guardian and go get it checked out.    Sometimes the types of symptoms you're describing are difficult to diagnose, because by the time the person is at the ER, frequently it has subsided. Nonetheless, depending on what, if anything, is actually wrong with you, these things can persist and get worse, with the episodes lasting longer until they cause the person other side effects such as chest pain, shortness of breath, low blood pressure, etc.  Please tell your parents and go get it checked out, just to be on the safe side.

angina usually occurs in people who are older (50 years and above), meaning your heart is not getting enough oxygen to do its job. If you've had pains in the last month before experiencing  a pressing sensation near the center of your chest, then it probably is Angina.

Hi.I would strongly recommend a visit to her GP.Most palpitations (exaggerated perception of one's heartbeat) are benign and caused by stress, anxiety, coffee, smoking, etc.Some of them require immediate attention, especially when accompanied by shortness of breath, dizziness , nausea or other worrisome signs. Please get her to visit her GP and I would also recommend check-ups in a cardiologist's office once every 2-3 years for everybody. Good luck! Bogdan Vulcan

I think many people do feel that their heart is an indicator of emotions like joy, fear, love, anticipation, gloom, etc. And certainly medicine has found a correlation between long-term stress and heart condition. How the heart detects these conditions, what form its responses take (rate, volume, pressure?), and how we perceive those responses sound like interesting fields of inquiry which some biologists are investigating. See the refs.

Actually, it sounds like you're having anxiety attacks.  The symptoms of anxiety attacks often mimic heart attack symptoms and can, therefore, be really frightening.  It's sad that there's a doctor who doesn't seem to take you seriously and who makes you feel like you're just imagining your symptoms.  My advice is to find another doctor and specifically ask about anxiety.  There are medications that can help.

Do you slouch or do you sit up straight? This could be nothing more than muscle spasms or pain from trapped wind. If you were suffering heart trouble you would be feeling the pain in the centre of your chest, in your neck or your arms. I don't think it could be your liver or you would be feeling 'out of sorts' too. Call NHS direct and have a word with them to see what they think. They will not offer a diagnosis but will advise you to visit your Doctor if they think it neccessary.

Extreme stress, tension, and pressure which causes your heart to beat faster which requires more blood, the less you have gives you high blood pressure. Also, not enough blood to the facial veins. Also, chest pains could be caused by high blood pressure. Best to check with a doctor, the give free advise over the phone.

There are two diagnosis here.  Hypertension and heart attack.  Hypertension increases the workload of the heart.  So when the heart is over worked it can become stressed and this could possibly cause a heart attack.  There is a term hypertensive heart disease you can look this up by typing this into your Explorer bar.

Yes.  I see patients who come into the ER all the time with symptoms acting just like cardiac chest pain and it turns out to be anxiety.  Unfortunately, it is hard to tell the difference.  I always tell my patients not to try to diagnose themselves and come to the ER for chest pain symptoms.

Well there are many different ways to die. One symptom of a heart attack is nausea and possible vomitting and a bowel movement.

You probably have PVCs/PACs, I've had them for a few years and I hate those @@#$@ so much. They feel like an extra beat, flip flop, or fast double beat right? I think its recommended that you be evaluated by a cardiologist to make sure you dont have any heart defects. The vast majority of cases though either just happen for no apparent reason, anxiety/stress related, potassium/calcium/magnesium imbalance in your blood, or a thyroid problem like they were saying. My doc theyre probably anxiety related too and I didn't think I'm anxious either. A lot of people say beta blockers work for them as well and my doc put me on one but it didn't do anything for me. Never tried an antidepressant/anxiety drug but some people say those have helped them, so go for it if you want. Mine seem to be triggered when I'm under stress, drink, dont get enough sleep, or drink too much caffeine. Exercise seems to reduce them for me, but everyone's triggers are different. You can check out the heart forum at medhelp.org a lot of people have them and have all kinds of weird tips and tricks you can try. I think the best thing to do if they really bother you is keep track of what triggers them and then avoid those triggers if practical.

Hypertension can multi-system effects. It is a risk factor for stroke and heart disease. Hypertension can increase the workload that the heart has to pump against, the heart overtime can develop what health care professionals call left ventricular hypertrophy (the left ventricle of the heart becomes overly thickened) which can lead to heart failure. Patients with heart failure will present with shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling of the legs, chest  pain etc due to the heart's inability to pump adequate amounts of oxygenated blood to meet the the body's physiological needs. \n\nHypertension is a modifiable risk factor for heart disease and stroke which can be controlled with lifestyle modification such as diet and exercise, medications and proper care of a trained healthcare professional.  Hope this helps.

This isn't really a question, but a test result. What is shows is a heart that has decresed blood supply that causes changes in the EKG, which is the electrical output of your heart with exertion. \n\nThe marks on an EKG are labelled P-QRS-T. The P is the contraction of the upper chambers of your heart, the QRS is the contraction of the larger lower chambers of the heart, and the T is the relaxation phase of those lower chambers, called the ventricles. The lead numbers and letters represent directions through the heart, and which ones have changes show the cardiologist what areas have decreased blood supply. "ST" changes are the place in the PQRST the hungry muscle shows up. "Ischemia" means dimininshed blood supply.\n\nThis usually means the coronary arteries which feed the heart blood have a blockage or other restriction of flow, from clots, build up of plaque or other damage. \n\nMore tests are needed to determine what kind of problem exists. A nuclear scan would show whether muscle has already been permanently damaged  or if it is possibly reversible. The "gold standard" would be a heart catherteriztion to map the exact problem, and even fix it with a balloon or by placing a stent.\n\nA test result like this one indicates a need for more follow up and whoever has this needs to promptly follow up with a cardiologist, preferably an interventional one. It's not a time to panic but to take necessary action.\n\nHope that answers some of your question, but this should be discussed with the doctor until you are satisfied with what it means.
