Oh for pete's sake, go to the doctor on this one! If your family has a history of HD and diabetes, then you NEED to see a doctor pronto and not waste your time here. As for sex, give me a break! Worry about your family history first and see a doctor! Geesh!!!!
2 :
man...have as much sex as u can while ur alive....
3 :
Your basic standard diet with REDUCED fats, & cholesterol, will be a fine diet for any one with out any know medical condition. Have as much sex as you want!!! Besides being the national pass time IT IS A FORM OF EXERCISE !!! OR should I say SEXERCISE
4 :
if your family has a history of heart dis and diabetes, then this could be a serious one. your should focus on low salt and low fat diet to maintain a low blood pressure. if u have diabetes, the high level of glucose on your blood will cause ur blood to become thick, thereby raising your blood pressure and at the same time it also can form plaques on your blood vessels. having sex will help a lot on preventing heart disease bro, but i advise that u should consult your doctor now before it's too late.
5 :
dont smoke-thats a big factor right there-eat food high in fiber and get your cholesterol checked along w/ blood pressure-sometimes when you have a family hx it doesnt matter what you do-if all those tests come back high you may need a prescription to help lower your cholesterol and bp-talk to your dr

I am 22 years old and have heart disease. Is there a support group/online board where I could talk to others?
I would like it to be one where you could have a profile and stuff on who you are so I can meet other people around my age with heart disease? Any kind of support group or online board would help out though.

My two favorite websites for Diabetes and Heart Disease are these two: http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp and http://www.mypyramid.gov/ Both sites are set up to offer great advice for diets as well. Good luck!
2 :
I follow loosely the South Beach phase 2 diet. If you watch the amounts of fats in this it is excellent for both lowering glucose levels and for portion control. I have not gained any weight from the amount of meds required for both these diseases

Peanut butter, Big Macs, sugar colas and pizza for a few. Mom told me, but I will not give up the pizza no matter what happens. Pizza with everything and hot! Skateboarders need power food like pizza. Love it, and I am usually full cheese.
2 :
were did that guy get peanut butter from?, its fattning but all of the fats are healthy fats which helps against heart disease
3 :
then you should drop everything but fresh fruits and veggies.. remembering to keep the beans in there... drop dairy and meats... that is the big ones... forget eggs... each egg has 200mg of cholesterol. still want milk? get soymilk. that's the diet i'm on... a vegetarian.. if not my cholesterol would give me another heart attack. my cholesterol is 89 now.. from 519. fresh fruits and veggies.. NOT from frozen, canned or any processed element. and forget packaged foods that are processed.. no fast food.. no snacks no junk... nothing processed. simple as that.
4 :
None as long as you eat in moderation, get the appropriate amount of fluid, and exercise. Food doesn't cause heart disease and the whole cholesterol bit is for people looking for a magic pill to solve all of their health concerns. It is when you are lazy that bad diet can cause problems. For people who stay active, in a healthy lifestyle, their body will flush all of that bad stuff out

Can a paitient with Coronary heart disease take a long trip by plane

Can a paitient with Coronary heart disease take a long trip by plane?
Hi My dad is 67 years old, and he has Coronary heart disease, can he take a long trip by plane? if we really need him to take a plane. is there anything we need to prepare in case he doesnt feel good on plane? Thank you

1 :
Risks in long trips are deep vein thrombosis and also decrease air pressure. Your dad should take his medication regularly. I am sure he will be on aspirin. He should have enough rest prior to the trip and don't get into a rushed and stressed state when getting to the airport etc... Don't consume too much food or alcohol during the flight. And he should walk a bit in the cabin to improve blood circulations to the legs I think that will be sufficient to reduce the risk of any events while in the flight
2 :
He should ask his physician about this but he should be able to travel... he should not drink alcohol...and he should not sit all the time and get some bit of exercise walking up and down the aisle.. because in long plane flights thrombosis in the legs can develop .. which is dangerous as they can move to the lungs and block an artery which could be fatal... but that has nothing to do with your dads condition everybody should do that and everybody can get thrombosis from long plane flights if they don't move .. and never cross legs.. move feet and legs also when sitting down at least every 2 hours.. and compressive stockings for travelling on a plane are good thing...xxx if the doctor has no objection ... your dad will be ok

What, other than high cholesterol, genetics, and high blood pressure cause heart disease

What, other than high cholesterol, genetics, and high blood pressure cause heart disease?
As my question states, is there more than just high cholesterol, genetics, and high blood pressure involved with heart disease? Are there other key components, or are these not even things that cause it? Thanks!

life style.
2 :
High blood pressure causes atherosclerosis in coronary blood vessels, which result is Heart Attack or Myocardial Infarction. Thus, a heart condition and not a heart disease. The same is true for high cholesterol, which builds up in the walls of arteries, making the risk for a heart attack be higher or becoming a risk factor for a heart disease. Genetics is true to cause heart disease and is commonly referred to as Cogential Heart Disease or Defect. Overall, other reasons for a heart disease can be smoking, drinking alcohol, physical abnormalities, certain viruses that may cause Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) & makes the heart prone to disease, certain bacteria are other factors & may result in Rheumatic Heart Disease, and etc. Good Luck

why do Caucasians have the highest number of deaths due to heart disease

why do Caucasians have the highest number of deaths due to heart disease?
Does anyone know why whites are more susceptible to die from heart disease compared to other races? Is it because of eating behavior, genes, or lifestyle habits?

Because America is a really obese state; I'd blame the junk food. Specially Mcdonald's.
2 :
i think it could be all three? eating behaviours because caucasians today have a way less healthier diet than what used to be (i.e mcdonalds, burger king, especiallly kfc that sh*t is just a bucket of heart disease) and as the foods get even more unhealthier, so does our diet. Genes because im not completely sure of this but some heart diseases could be hereditary. Lifestyles habits.....i dont know, because i said so.
3 :
DNA variant puts Caucasians at higher risk for heart disease, see http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article756035.ece
