  • I'm worried about my heart?

    If you are not lightheaded then that heart rate is not a problem. READ MORE

  • Is this an emergency?

    Sorry about the delay in the answer. You should see a cardiologist for evaluation. The emergency room visit apparently showed that you are not having a heart attack at that time. I do recommend you see your cardiologist in the very near future READ MORE

  • Can you live a long life after a heart transplant?

    I have personally had patients live greater than ten years after their transplant READ MORE

  • How common is chest pain in a 9 year old?

    Chest pain is not uncommon in children. You need to monitor if there are any other symptoms or problems. If it is a recurring problem, you should probably have him see his pediatrician READ MORE

  • What heart rate is too high for a child?

    Here is an article showing normal heart rates for children. A three-year-old can have a heart rate from 80 to 120. If his heart rate were persistently over 110, even at rest, you might want to consider a visit to his pediatrician for an evaluation. https://www.childrens.com/health-wellness/is-your-childs-heart-rate-healthy READ MORE

  • Will drinking water lower your heart rate?

    No, unless your high heart rate was due to severe dehydration READ MORE

  • How can I fix my irregular heartbeat naturally?

    That depends on what your actual heart rhythm is. If you have atrial fibrillation, it depends on the results of your echocardiogram and size of your cardiac chambers whether or not you can easily return to a sinus rhythm. There are some benign irregular heart rhythms that do not need treatment. READ MORE

  • Can an ECG detect angina?

    If an ECG is performed while you were having angina it may very well have what we call ST depression. Unfortunately it is not 100%. In fact up to 20% of ECGs can be perfectly normal during an acute heart attack. If the area at risk is on the back of the heart, it is far enough away from the ECG leads that it may not register READ MORE

  • Does walking help an irregular heartbeat?

    Walking helps your cardiac health in several ways. Anything you can do to improve your general health is good for your heart. You did not mention whether it was atrial fibrillation. If your heart races at very rapid rates, such as 170 or above with minimal exertion, then it would be recommended that you have medication to help control that rate. Very rapid heart rates over time can lead to deterioration of the function of the ventricles in your heart READ MORE

  • How long can a person live with a defibrillator?

    I have had patients who have survived over 20 years with a defibrillator. It is dependent on the reason the defibrillator was put in, and the underlying condition of the heart. READ MORE

  • Can you live a long life with heart problems as a child?

    There is a whole new subspecialty in cardiology to take care of people who had congenital heart disease as a child because they are living well into adulthood. Even people that had severe defects in their heart and had surgery are now living well into adulthood as opposed to the past READ MORE

  • What causes upper chest pain in a child?
