Do a heart patient have problems in pregnancy?

sometimes because it can make it more stress full on their hearts

Yes, I've had a couple patents with severe scoliosis.  Both did experience more than the usual challenges common during pregnancy.  But predicting how severe those challenges might be is not something that a responsible professional would attempt without seeing the two of you in the office. \n\nIn your case, it is not at all unreasonable to talk to a specialist BEFORE you actually start to plan a family.  Both women I mentioned did manage to carry and deliver healthy children, though both required caesarean section.  Both did need adaptive means to help them with infant care, and both families did succeed in raising those children.  Yes, it was exraordinarily demanding on both parents, as it probably would be on you and your wife.  But help is available.  You two just need to start the ball rolling with a visit to your doctor.  Hey, we health professionals ain't just about fixing what's broke - we're here to help it not get broke, too!  Good luck to you and your beloved!

First calm down. I understand why you are concerned. Losing a baby is very tragic. But just because it happened 10 years ago doesn't mean it is going to happen now. The symptoms you have described for yourself are normal. I didn't have sickness, cravings, sensitivity to smell with my pregnancy either. Count this as a blessing! Being tired and on/off breast tenderness is normal. Try reading "What to expect when expecting" "Girlfriends guide to pregnancy" etc... Stop obsessing about losing this baby and start enjoying him/her. I truly understand the concerns. Make an appt. with your doctor to help ease your mind. As far as having a miscarriage WITH OUT ANY symptoms I don't know about. That is a question for the professionals.

IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES..\n\nA HEART SPECIALIST CAN TREAT A FEVER ILLNESS OCCASIONALLY...IS N'T IT.?

no, this is too low of a stimulus or intake if it was to be a cause, you could talk to the doctor for possible causes of the exact heart beat problem, good luck

yes it is highly probable...  people who have strokes and heart attacks have them for a reason.  their bodies have undergone physical changes in order to function at a normal level under stress.  at a certain point, this stress becomes too great and arteries or heart valves reach a breaking point.  once someone experiences a cardiovascular incident, the likelihood of future incidents multiplies.  of course there are exceptions to any rule.

It may just be anxiety attacks, but you should visitor the doctor first of all just to make sure.  If it's anxiety attacks, then stop, take big deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth.  Imagine breathing in calm and breathing out stress.  You should continue this for a few minutes and feel better.  If you try this now and it works, then it probably is just stress, in which case, you can buy some Bach's remedy and put a few drops under your tongue whenever you feel this coming on.  Then do your breathing.\n\nI've just seen your additional notes.  I had an irregular heart beat and this was picked up during pregnancy.  I think pregnancy puts extra strain on the heart.  You really should go to the doc asap.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

See a doctor, and request a second opinion from a cardiologist.  Doctors tend to dismiss healthy-looking young people as being hypochondriacs or just panic attacks, when it could be a simple heart condition treated with medication.  Insist on seeing a cardiologist and/or having an echocardiogram - NOT an EKG, which will not detect valve problems.\n\nIt could be panic attacks, could be mitral valve prolapse.  Either way, see a doctor because both are easily fixable and there is no reason for an otherwise healthy young lady to suffer.

Normally yes.  My wife is pregnant with our first child and despite the fact that she is a nurse, she insisted on asking the doctor.  The doctor told us, in no uncertain terms, that in no way can sex hurt a healthy pregnancy.  If she is having any complications or is a high risk pregnancy then you should check with your doctor first.

Those symptoms could mean a number of things, but it's not healthy no matter what it is.  I guess it's possible to have a young heart attack, but it doesn't seem very likely.  Either way, she should see a doctor soon.

The  truly  sad thing  about situations like this  is  that  the  patient -  more often a man - has already  been  having  symptoms for a  while.      His heart has been  trying to g et his  attention with little signals that he has just refused to pay  attention to.    Heart  attack?   Me?    Nahhh.      I'm  not old enough.....  or....   I   feel  great  etc. etc.       That's the  way heart  attacks work.   My bet  is  that he has never had  a  thorough  physical  examination and heart  evaluation in his life\n                              It's too late now, of course, to be looking into  the past.  It's over.    Only  what happens in the future is important.      The  only  thing YOU  can do right now  is take   some  flowers,  and yourself  to the hospital to see him,  and  say all the right things, about how  important it is for him to get  well so he can as soon as possible  get back to his  family that loves him and  needs  him.        Now  what your friend,  his  daughter, can do is a  LOT.     She has  to  help her mother  and other members of the family  to  bully  the heck out of him  to  start   properly  taking  care of himself  for  a change.  He obviously  hasn't   been doing that  because he already knew his cholesterol  was way  up and  did nothing  about it.    Your  friend  needs to  remind her  Dad  that  she needs him,    and  they all do,  and,  goshdarn it, if he doesn't want to   look after his own health for  him,  he should  do it  for  THEM.                    \n                                 The doctors will have run some tests to  determine if  he has some blockages  (my bet is  that he has)   and then make arrangements for him to have  appropriate   treatment. (probably surgery).    After that,  he is going to need to follow strict  doctor's orders,  change his lifestyle, and  stop  neglecting  his health.   If  he  does that,  he has every good chance of being around for a  long time.    Unfortunately men  are   especially bad at  taking  care of  their health.    I guess it's a macho thing.   "I'm  not  going to  get sick.    Nothing wrong  with me.    I'm  tough"      LOL  I wish I had  a  $20  bill for every  time I heard  a man  say that,  or had  some  woman tell me  that  was how her husband  was\n                                   I hope  this helps.    Tell your friend what I  said, and  tell her to tell him  that she wants her Dad  to be  around to  walk her down the Aisle one day,  and  after that,  to be a part of his  grandchildren's  lives.    Tell her to tell him,  that's not a  request,  that's  an order.

You may have a heart murmur, which believe it or not , quite a few people are born with one and never have any problems. You may also have a prolapsed heart valve. Either way you need to see a doctor. You will need tests such as an EKG or electrocardiogram. Both tests are very simple to do.

There a few things to keep in mind.\n\nFirst, I doubt that the hydrocephulus or VP shunt would be a problem during the pregnancy.  However there is a chance that the tubing may malfunction ie stop draining during the pregnancy given that everything gets pushed around inside you abdominal cavity.\n\nSecond, the major dilemma with pregnancy, VP shunts, and your underlying condition  is childbirth.  If you are planning a vaginal delivery, the pushing can potentially increase intracranial pressure which potentially cause problems.  In addition, remember that by pushing you are increasing intra abdominal pressure and that can decrease the flow of the VP shunt.  In general, (I would talk to your neurosurgeon and perineonatalogist  or high risk ob doctor about it), I think a C-section would be safer.\n\nwhat type of hydrocephalus do you have?

I highly doubt that your doctor would give you something that would cause birth defects.  There are antibiotics that are safe to use during pregnancy.  If you are that concerned I suggest you ask your doctor about it.

I think so, for some reason when I come on mine, my boyfriend goes through a thing also. I never say anything about it cause I don't want to freak him out, but if a man can have pregnancy symptoms I don't see why he couldn't have sympathy cramps.
