C.S.A.,condroitin sulfate A.,a substance produced by the body,decreases in production with increased age. Three grams a day would save 5/6 of the terminally ill heart patients and cause no side effects!!!! Also a lot of natural vitamin E cured some people of angina.

chest pain means go to the doctor ASAP could be one of many causes, the important one is the heart which as you would agree is pretty important.  For the back, try exercise.

my dad passed away when he was 42 from heart attack...\nso i share the same concern with you\n-first try to control the diet by reducing fat in it encourage  fruit and vegitble intake \n-by the age of 20 let them do lipid profile test to see the amount of fat in their bodies\n-avoid hypertension(don't add extra salt for their food)\n-avoid smoking\n-avoid alcohol \n-avoid obesity\n-do exercise \nwhat i want to tell you here is that for ischemic heart disease there are unmodified risk factors and modified risk factors \nunmodified it means that you can not change it as ;age,male gender,family history,race\nand the modified risk factors which i told you above how to beat\nwish you luck

When you say pains in your chest do you mean a tightness like in the middle of your chest??\nSome people even though they eat a diet with potassium in it still need a suppliment that is prescribed for them.\nIf you are 18yrs you can go to a doctor on your own without your parents consent. Call the family doctor that you usually go to or ask friends for referrals. If you are still living at home under the age of 18 you need to speak to your parents. This ongoing chest pain needs to be evaluated and blowing you off by saying eat your bananas is not good enough. You could still have a low potassium level.\nPotassium if it becomes to low is a critical condition and can lead to all types of heart problems that can even be lethal and sudden.\n\nPerhaps your episodes have frightened your parents and it is a subject they are afraid to discuss.\n\nIf you still can;t get thru to them I suggest the next time you have chest pain you call 911 have the paramedics show up at your house and let them take you to the emergency room for an evaluation.\n\n\nP.S. Try to stay away from the cigarette smoke as much as possible. IT IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF ASTHMA in children and the BIGGEST trigger for an asthma attach\n\n\nall the best to you and keep us posted

Call the hospital, darling. There could be something wrong with your father. And try to get him to stop drinking and smoking, that's probably what's effecting his heart. But you do need to call the doctor, NOW, if he's complaining of severe chest pains. Good Luck!

I am sorry that I haven't the knowledge to recommend anything to you or give you a helpful diagnosis. However, if you feel that the way in which you have been treated has not been the most helpful for your condition, or that you need to resume your treatment, please visit a reliable Dr. \nHeart conditions need to be treated, particularly when they are as noticeable as yours. \nVisit the websites of Medicine Schools, and try to contact someone in the faculty who will be able to help you. Through the Internet, try to locate as many heart doctors as possible. I hope that they can help you. \nGood luck.

You will find a really complete guide to doing this at AHA.org, which is the American Heart Association's website.\n\nI advise my patients to follow a low fat, high fiber diet and to exercise regularly.  Stop smoking as this does affect cholesterol levels.\n\nLean red meat is okay a couple of times per week.  When eating chicken, get rid of the skin.  Low fat dairy is okay in moderation.  Avoid fried foods and bake as much as possible.  Avoid trans fats, which are very common in fried and store bought bakery items.  Lots of fruits and veggies are great.  High fiber breakfast cereals will help, including oatmeal, raisin bran, fiber one, all bran.

Chest pain, chest tightening, palpatations, shortness of breath, etc. can be symptoms of different heart conditions, and should all be checked with your doctor!  \nEat healthy and exercise, even just walking each day is better than nothing.

I think that the blacking out and heart speeding/slowing are definetly anxiety attacks/panic (to some degree) attacks. \nAll of the things you just decribed can be attributed to stress, whether it is just a persistent small amount you deal with daily or a huge amount that was just dropped on you. \nEither way, you may want to see a doctor as that would be the quickest and easiest solution.\nIf you want to try some home remedies first, try taking a day off from doing anything. Stay at home and take a warm shower, sleep late, do yoga, take a walk.\nIf the weather is nice and not that cold by you yet, you could try doing a jog in the morning before going where you need to go. Excersize helps release stress and you'd be surprised how much a habitual 10 minute walk can help you.

Reducing you cholesterol levels can reduces your risks in you not developing heart blockages but there are a lot of of factors that your doctor will consider to weigh your risks. Your general health and weight, diabetes, family history are just a few of the factors that doctors use to access your cardiac health.\n\nAs for finding blockages they do a procedure called a cardiac catheterzation.  They make a small incision in your groin area, where your femoral artery is and feed a wire up through your arterial system into your heart.  Once there the inject a radio active dye and take a "real time" x-ray.  Where the dye does not pass through easily or at all is where you have blockages.\n\nAfter a "cardiac cath" a Cardiologist will best assess which of the treatment options are best for you.  They can range from lifestyle changes to medication to different types of surgery.  Some surgery involves stents while others like your mother, can not be treated with them and need other interventions.\n\nThe only person who can help you assess you Cardiac Risk Factors is you doctor.  He or she may refer you to a Cardiologist for further assessment. \n\nIt's far better to have your risks factors evaluated now then waiting until you have chest pains, a heart attack or a stroke.  Being proactive might just save your life.

I would like to suggest that you call The American Heart Association.  They can give you some leads, and a support group.

To prevent cardiovascular disease, some things to avoid are smoking and being overweight; some things that promote a healthy cardiovascular system are a healthy diet and exercise. \n\nSmoking should be avoided because the nicotine in them makes the blood vessels constrict and the heart to pump harder. This causes the blood pressure to rise. It also deterioates the lining of the vessels, allowing the build-up of plaque and the formation of atherosclerosis.\n\nBeing 20% over the recommended weight limit for your height can lead to hypertension. The extra weight causes the heart to work harder to get blood to all of the areas that need it.\n\nA diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol is a good preventitve step. The saturated fat contains the "bad" kind of cholesterol which can, if eaten too often, can cause the build-up of plaque on the arterial wall, restricting blood flow.\n\nExercise is a wonderful way to prevent cardiovascular disease. One study of middle-aged men who exercised an hour of 48 minutes or more a day had one-half less heart attacks than the other men who exercised for less time. \n\nOne last thing that helps to prevent cardiovascular disease is reducing stress. Meditation, yoga, or some activity similar to that has shown to relieve stress.

Go see a doctor for the best answer, but it sounds more like a pinched nerve.\n\nIf you have a history of heart disease, you need to take care to exercise regulalry (get your back looked at too) eat a healthy diet full of nutrients and fiber, and keep your weight in a healthy range. it's also best to not smoke, keep the alcohol at moderate levels and kick any caffeine out of your routine.

First of all, get to a Dr. asap. Second, cut out the salt and most of the caffeine, and follow the diet the Dr. advises. Get exercise--walking is great. If the doc prescribes meds, TAKE THEM! If you are stressed, try to get some help to deal with it. Hypertension is called "the silent killer" because a person often does not know they are suffering from it. By the time you have a stroke or a heart attack it may be too late. With on going high blood pressure you need to be under a Dr's care. Monitor your blood pressure at home, but always keep in touch with your physician.
