Either would be OK if you need another credit card. I would check the benefits of any card before I just got one.

Check with your family doctor who would\nbe more apt to supply you with a more\nvalid opinion.

37 days I have good insurance, I felt like I was ready.  And about 1 out of 10 of you will go to or need to go to a psychiatric clinic.  There is no stigma about congenital heart defect so why the problem with something people are born with.  I have been promoted to editor from reporter at a newspaper before diagnosis.

It doesn't seem like your notes are fully up to date, ask your GP if you can see them (they have to let you now.) You'll know better than anyone what's missing. When I changed doctors my notes failed to mention I'd just been referred to a specialist and I had to wait another six months to see one.\n\nIf you don't push them they'll things will get worse.

For heaven's sake, have it diagnosed and documented by a military doctor AT SOME POINT before your discharge or retirement.  The lifetime disability benefits for an anxiety or mood disorder are well worth the disclosure and the time and trouble.  You will not likely have to pay for your medication or care ever after, and will most probably get a disability retirement.  The advantages are great.

If you don't have insurance already, you are in for a rude awakening.  You'll be denied by any insurer for the pre-existing condition.  YOu'll need to check to see if your state has a 'high-risk' pool and see if you can get coverage there.  Since you usually need a denial to get in, you might as well just apply somewhere first and get the denial of coverage.\nSince you are low income you might also quality for some sort of state sponsored medical assistance or Medicaid.

No one here can tell you exactly what the problem is. If your doctor was so unconcerned that she did not do tests to try to find out what is wrong then I would not go back there again. I would seek another doctor and report the first to the AMA if the second one finds something. With a lot of disorders more can be done to fix the problem if something is done quickly. Sometimes if you wait to long to see a good dr. nothing can be done. §

I came across the site below.  It has some good articles about defibrillators.  They have information and advice on the use of blood pressure monitors that you may find helpful.

Most likely the doctors treating if the condition is life threatening. If long term then probably parents but you should check with a layer just to make sure. Any doubts make sure your parents know your wishes if you cannot speak for yourself. You can also do the paper work yourself and save the cost of an attorney and name a patient advocate. That is one that you have appointed to  make your decisions if you can't.  Just follow the directions with the forms, get them notarized and let your patient advocate have a copy or tell them where the paperwork is just in case there is a problem with your family members that aren't named. Hopefully you will never need this but it may help.

According to my cardiologist, very likely. But you must factor in several other things, such as weight, cholesterol levels, if you are active or not, and of course, family history. If you feel you are at risk, do not hesitate to see a doctor soon.

I was turned down for life insurance twice by the same company.  I am a teacher (aged 29 when I first applied), and I applied for a group plan available through my job for teachers in my state.  The first year I was told I was declined because I was taking Celexa !!!  I applied the next year and was declined again, same reason.  My doctor wrote a letter saying I was not suicidal, etc. and that the meds were for panic attacks, but I was still turned down.  I was furious at first - and I know so many teachers who take antidepressants....but there was nothing I could do except stop the meds. A rep told me to "show improvement" by the next enrollment period, but I didn't want to stop taking my meds just to get the insurance.  I found out that group insurance is usually much more strict because the rate is pretty low.  I went to Allstate on my own and had no problem getting a policy.  They were surprised that the Celexa kept me from being insured with the other company....  I checked with another company too, and could have gotten insurance there, but went with Allstate because it was the best deal.\n\nThis is just my opinion, but....About your disclosure - I'd tell everything up front.  They will find out, and it is better if it comes from you up front and honestly.  I think health care providers will tell - I think you sign a waiver giving the insurance company permission to review your health records.

I would not recommend testing or treating yourself, that could be dangerous.  Try your State Social Services office for assistance.  If this matter is urgent go to the ER and when you are feeling better ask for financial assistance forms through the hospitals patient accounts.  My income is so low that I had to do this and the hospital can get you financial assistance through charity organizations which will cover most of the cost if not the total bill.  Good luck!

If you need a letter of medical necessity it would not seem that some advice from any website would be of any help to you. \nIf a doctor ordered a heparin flush, you should not have much of a problem getting the letter from him. A prescribed treatment should by a licenced MD should qualify. \nIf on the other hand it was something you did on your own after reading something of the efficacy of this treatment you'll have some more problems (and, unfortunately, rightly so): go to the doctor anyway and explain why the flush was done and bring along whatever information you have on it and beg. And promise the doctor you'll never do such a thing again unless you have his full cooperation.

This is an ICD, which stands for implanted cardiac defibrillator.  It is a machine which is surgically implanted typically into your chest cavity.  it has wire leads that lead into the inside of your heart thru veins and arteries.  Sometimes folks have irregularities with their hearts and therefore they need one to keep it beating normally.  It is essentially the same as a pacemaker, however the pacemaker is designed to just change these irregularities, whereas the defibrillator is designed to get your hert beating again and not just about the rythm.  It has an electic charge in it and detects if a shock to your heart muscle is necessary.
