Heart Diseases?


Hi, I'm 34 years old and lately, I suffer from breathlessness, sudden fast heart beat (for only 2 seconds or so) and couple weeks ago, I had night sweats (happened twice only) I don't smoke or drink and I don't have high blood pressure or high cholesterole. However, my father had a bypass surgery at the age of 60. He has high blood pressure and high cholesterole. I had those symptoms before (back in high school) but nothing serious. But I'm more concerned about my health now, so I wonder if those symptoms are associated with heart diseases?

What different types of heart diseases do they have?


I'm 23 & I saw a heart doctor yesterday, & so far, he told me that it doesn't look like I have heart disease from the EKG & ultrasound, but he has to run a stress test on a treadmill to see how I handle it. I get chest pains very easily simply just from walking the 1st 2 minutes. I know I'm overweight & I'm trying to lose it. But how can I if every time I try to exercise, I get chest pains? My Dr. said I'm too young for heart disease, & my PCP told me my cholesterol is a little high but not enough to be put on medication.

What kinds of heart diseases do they have? I hope I don't have it, & I'm trying to do my best to prevent it.

Anyone know what can cause a stroke or heart diseases ?


What can cause a stroke or heart diseases ? And if a person has a stroke or heart diseases than what will happen.

I know smoking can cause a stroke or heart diseases , But what really is going on with a stroke or heart diseases is it a lack of blood?
Okay is respiratory diseases the same has a heart diseases?
----------

I'm not sure it can be from a lack of blood, but it can be from a build of plaque in arteries, especially the coronary arteries (supplies blood to heart) or carotid arteries(supplies blood to head). If plaque builds up over time , this can lead to a blood clot and can cause heart attack or stroke. Including, having high cholestoral promotes plaque build up.

So summary:
- build up of plaque (atherosclerosis)
- Having high blood pressure
- coronary spasms can cause heart attacks
- high cholesterol

These are some factors that can lead to causing heart diseases and stroke!

p.s respitory disease has to do with lungs etc. and this does not contribute to heart attacks or strokes.  (+ info)

Some diseases associated with a leaky heart?


I know some of the symptoms, such as: Heart Palpitations, chronic fatigue, chest pains, dizziness & regurgitation. I just wanted to know more information on actual diseases, treatment options, what causes this disease and what one can do to reduce or even prevent your chances of contracting a leaky heart.
----------

Well, leaky heart-or heart murmur-is really just a warning that your body's trying to tell you that your heart isn't getting the right things to help it keep pumping blood. More specifically it's when a valve of the heart has a flap that is causing the heart to have a difficult time. I guess if you continue the poor diet you might get heart disease, diabetes, and other diseases associated with the heart.

The best treatment would be to correct the poor diet of which the individual keeps using. Eating more cholesterol and saturated fats like animal fat and tropical oils (preferably coconut oil and grass fed beef) would be very good. Avoiding hydrogenated fats like vegetable oils and trans fats would be VERY good to do. Taking supplements or eating foods rich in: magnesium, iodine, vitamin A, vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, and selenium will also prove very effective. Eating this diet will also help any individual.
