There are many symptoms that should send you to the doctor. All of which have been listed. Shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, etc. My 78 year old dad has congestive heart failure and his heart is extremely enlarged at this point. There are several medications that can be taken to help ease the symptoms, but should be noted that there is NO cure for this problem! There are things you can do so slow congestive heart failure down, but it IS a fatal condition. Below is a link that has a lot of good information on it. I read thru quite a bit of it after my dad was diagnosed. His was also, by the way, caused from excessive drinking. There are many other causes for the disease though.

Blood pressure will elevate with ANY type of pain.  Chest pain should always be evaluated by a Doctor, there are many causes.

In reality there is no such thing as a big or small heart attack as the chances of surviving ANY type of heart attack is 50%.  Once you have had one heart attack then yes you are at an increased risk of further attacks.  But with medication, treatment such as angioplasty or bypass surgery and suitable lifestyle changes (ie not smoking, eating healthier and exercising regularly)  the risks of further attacks can be substantially reduced.\nIn the UK it is estimated that someone has a heart attack every 2 minutes, so out of the 30 per hour, it is likely 15 will die.  Now the majority of these people didn't know beforehand they were going to have a heart attack and not survive, so were not necessarily concerned about it.

The real question is how do you know if you are dead.

hm well....A heart attack is simply heart failure leading to death and has a collection of symptoms and signs including:\n\n1)shortness of breath\n2)fatigue\n3)post mortem swelling in the legs\n4)post mortem fluid in the lungs\n5)naseau shortly before death, vomiting, excessive fluid in the abdomen\n\nIt is fairly normal.

You should just have regular echo cardiograms to monitor the health of your heart.  Some people with a bicuspid aortic valve get narrowing.  The narrowing will cause shortness of breath or chest pain with activity.  If you don't have that problem than there are no limitations and sex is just fine.  Have fun!

This depends, if you just feel it/sense it, then it probably doesn't matter; however, if you are palpating (pressing) a few inches above your umbilicus/belly button and feel a pulsating mass then it is a medical problem and you should consult your physician immediately as you may have an abdominal aortic anyerism (AAA). If you are talking about "feeling" your heartbeat as your whole stomah when excited, or laying flat, it likely just feels weird and is not important. If it is an AAA, and ruptures, you would likely be dead before medical treatment could be provided. Don't delay if you feel it is serious.

Weight gain and depression --- oh, yes!  But it is better than being dead, so I keep trying.  KEEP talking to your doctor or ask his/her nurse.  Also, make sure you are getting your thyroid levels checked.  The problem with just going to a heart doctor is that you may have more than just heart problems.  You might also need to see an endocrinologist (they take care of thyroid and diabetes problems).  The best way to find good doctors is to ask a nurse for names---especially hospital nurses in your area.  Good luck!!

This is a complex question involving many components in a heartbeat. Firstly, I'll assume that your question means the chambers of the heart is empty, but not the coronary vessels supplying the heart to keep the heart muscle alive. (Or else the heart muscles would just die and the heart stops.)\n\nA heartbeat is stimulated by several factors, and those related to your question are blood pressure and blood volume.\nIn the situation where all the blood rush out of the heart, the blood pressure would remain nearly unchanged as the slight increase in blood volume is not significant. However, blood volume is partly detected by receptors in the heart itself (if the heart stretch more, blood volume is higher) Now that the heart is empty, it would tend to slow down its beating and wait for blood to fill it before it beat again.\nThe effect is gradual, so theoretically, the heart would beat slower and slower until it stops.\n\nHowever in reality, it is impossible for the heart to become empty without the heart dying as the coronary arteries and veins are attached directly into the heart.

Let me assure you, as a physician, that your own physician would be overjoyed to hear from you with regard to this question.  He or she would be less overjoyed to know you are seeking out advice over the internet, because the answer depends on many details of your medical history and not just the fact that you've had a heart attack.

No there is no evidence.One thing the heart size is equal to the fist of the human possessing it.So the larger the body the heart size is little larger.May be in some hilly areas people are small and proportionately their heart size is also small

For most people, the signs are so subtle they never realize they have "heart trouble" until their doctor discovers the fact during a checkup, or they have a heart attack.\n\nMost heart attack sufferers never had a clue until WHAM!  And down they go.  That's why it's so important to learn how to lower your personal risk of coronary disease.  Contact the American Heart Association for lots of FREE information and ideas!  Look 'em up in the phone book or Google 'em to find a number to call.

I think you pretty much anwered you own question. My belief (knowledge)...No. Once that trumpet sounds (or you earlthy body passes away-whichever happens to come first), the fat lady has sung and your fate for all of eternity is sealed.

Ya know, kiddo, that is an awful question to ask for those who stood by a loved one and watched them take their last breath and breathe out and die right before them while we held them. I would delete this question before you hurt someone else. You never know, you shouldn't ask questions that you reeally don't want to know the answer to. You may find out quicker than you think. Life can be very short.
