My 1 month old daughter has a congenital heart disease and needs heart surgery, can it wait one year?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

My 1 month old daughter has a congenital heart disease named – transposition of great arteries with vsd.
I bring her to a govt. Hosp. Doctors put her on oxygen for two weeks. Now from last two weeks they had removed her oxygen and now she is breathing well. Now we bring her back home she looks normal but some time her lips, ears, hands and feet toes get blue.
She is breathing well, sleeping well. Her mother feeding her regularly. She seems perfect she only cries when she is hungry or when her body exposed to air. While crying she got too much blue.
Doctors said it’s not possible to do her heart surgery bcoz she is too young. They tried too do angioplasty but didn’t succeed bcoz her veins are too thin. Doctors said let her grow a bit like up to 1 year. After it will be safe to do her surgery. Other wise bring her to any other country (which i cannot afford).
I just want to ask that Is it ok to keep her like this for one year without any treatment?
Please give me the suggestion that what should i do now
(please excuse me for my poor English)

I have Atrial fibrillation ( AFib or AF), can a car accident have caused it?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I’m 77 yrs old but had been in great physical shape, very active in sports, biking, & around the house & yard, etc. Then I was injured in a freak accident 8/30/17 when a car crashed into a building where I was a customer, sending me to emergency vascular surgery for compartment syndrome (R. calf.) I spent 4 days in hospital, had 2 surgeries in that period, & am now assigned to Physical Therapy for several mos. About 10 days after the accident, my vascular surgeon referred me to a cardiologist for heartbeat concerns just noticed by him; I’m now diagnosed with A. Fib, on blood thinners for rest of my life, & had a cardioversion in 10/2017. My cardiologist says because I hadn’t had an EKG prior to my accident, he can’t say that the AFib was caused by the accident & the resulting horrific stress (for example, I was told by the ER doc that my leg might be amputated, had to undergo gen. anesthesia, of which I am very leery, & have been forced to spend more time idle in the last 3 mo. than ever in my life – I NEED to be active.)

Prior to my accident, my only health issues were hypertension (well-controlled via meds) & a bum knee; I’d been seeing my primary care doc at least annually.

Do you feel the accident may be implicated in my 9/2017 diagnosis of A Fib?

My heart beats feel funny/ inconsistent bpm goes down to around 35 bpm?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I usually have a low bpm usually in the 60s. I have noticed in the last few days that my heart beats feel funny/ inconsistent. It’s not all the time but it’s getting a little more frequent. I have a bpm monitor so I’ve been monitoring myself today. When I feel the inconsistent beats my bpm goes down to around 35 bpm give or take and then a few minutes later it shoots up to around 78 bpm. A few minutes after that it goes back to around 65-68 which is normal for me. Should I seek medical attention ASAP?

I had an aortic heart valve transplant and before that, my B/P was normal, but since the transplant, my blood pressure is running on the high side?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I had an aortic heart valve transplant and before that, my B/P was normal, but since the transplant, my blood pressure is running on the high side…So my heart Doctor changed me from 20 mgs. of lisiinipril to 40 mgs P/day…It doesn’t seem to have helped that much soo I wondered if, by me taking 20 mgs, in the AM and 20 mgs in the PM would not be good enough and that I should take the 40 mgs. alll at once in the AM?…Would that make a difference? My heart Doctor is on vacation so, thought I would ask you folks what you think…

Age:87
Female
Medications:40 mgs. Lisinipril p/day,, 2 carvedilol at 3.125mg p/day, 1 clopidogrel 75 mgs. p/day and 1 pantoprazole SOD 40 mg. p/day

I was given a resting EKG which was ok but I apparently had an inverted P wave?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I am a 66yo non-smoking / non-drinking polynesian male with BP of around 160 / 90 and a pulse of 60. I weigh 90kgs and am 1.7m tall.

I work in a desk job and have a lot of stress.

I swim 1km 4-5 days a week. My diet is fine with an emphasis on low-sugar and low-salt. My cholesterol is around 5.0 but I am prone to low hdl and highish ldl / triglycerides. However, I am no longer in the pre-diabetic range.

I take allopurinol for gout.

Recently I experienced a small number of chest pains. I was given a resting EKG which was ok but I apparently had an inverted P wave. I also had arrhythmic heartbeats.

I then did a treadmill stress test and after 5 minutes my pulse was 160 and my BP was 260 / 40!!!! The test was stopped immediately. Note that my pulse is between 120-140 after 30 minutes of good intensity swimming. I am also recovering from a severe flu.

I have sludgy blood according to a previous doctor. I also recently had all my amalgam filings removed which may have increased the mercury in my body.

My current thinking is to work on exercising my heart through exercise, thinning my blood through curcumin, and controlling my arrhythmia increasing my potassium and magnesium intake.

What can I infer from my pains? Is my heart damaged? Do I have hardening of the arteries? If my approach to resolving this pain worthwhile?

I look forward to your comments.

I suffered a heart attack, a stent was implanted?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Five years back, I suffered a heart attack, a stent was implanted. Since then no problem. Recently, got routine pathological tests & ECHO done with all normal reports. I’m, however, advised for angiography whereas I’m interested in CT angiography, but I’m told that CT angiography can’t be done for stent implanted patients. Kindly comment.
