Is being short of breath a sign of heart disease

Is being short of breath a sign of heart disease?
I sometimes get short of breath when I walk not all the time but sometimes and never when i am inactive, just if I walk fast some times and sometimes when I walk slow. It comes and goes.

it can be, but usually seen in the elderly with failing or enlarged hearts for the younger person, consider overweight ? unfit? asthma? see your Dr for a check if you feel this is a concern
2 :
Shortness of breath could also be a lung problem .
3 :
I think this matter is not so serious to be termed as a heart disease. Some of the common symptoms of heart disease includes: - Trouble breathing continuously - Multiple shallow breaths where it’s hard to inhale deeply - Unnecessary sweating and sticky palms - Sick to your stomach - Rapid or accelerating heartbeat - Discomfort in your chest area - Tightness in your arms, shoulder and/or chest

Does having diabetic neuropathy raise your chances for heart disease

Does having diabetic neuropathy raise your chances for heart disease?
I'm talking about having either autonomic or peripheral nueropathy or both.

I don't think it necessarily raises your risk, however, it's important to consider if there's enough consequence of the diabetes to cause neuropathic damage, then certainly that's an indicator that there may be other consequences of the diabetes, such as the micro/macrovascular complications that lead to heart disease. The autonomic neuropathy may have an effect on how b-blockers work and your ability to regulate blood pressure which also may have a consequence on heart health

Well, I hate to tell you this, but recent studies have shown that fish oil has little, or no, effect on heart disease (see link, below). Good luck!... ☺
2 :
An apple a day keeps the Doctor away and 2 apples a day keeps the whole Hospital away. My Doctor recommends 2 daily.
3 :
For most folks, one a day of those is plenty - that gives you the equivalent EPA (the fat in fish that makes it spectacular) of a couple servings of cold-water ocean fish every week.... If you want to take more, I would discuss it with a doctor (or at least a pharmacist) because it interacts with some very important systems in the body (for example, it reduces risk of heart disease by influencing electrolytes (calcium ions specifically) and your immune system...the latter of which effects your blood clotting) and it could have unwanted side effects if taken with certain medications or conditions... Be well Tink

Never ran across something like that. So...I doubt it.

I doubt there would be. Dude...you asked a question and you got two answers. Not our fault if it's not the answer you were looking for! I have toe fungus, but I would never imagine that there would be a scholarship to help me pay for college because of it

It is still an investigational modality of treatment. The approach using embryonic stem cells carry the problems of identifying appropriate cell lineages, possibility of stem cell differentiation into lines other than the intended type, and potential for neoplasia (cancer). Another limitations of stem cell therapy is the immunogenicity of cell

is it possible to reverse angina or heart disease

is it possible to reverse angina or heart disease?
I hear this and that, anyone have any opinions on the matter?

I hope you're under a doctor's supervision! That said...reverse it? I've heard of managing angina/heart disease. Angina is when the heart muscle doesn't get enough blood, but I am sure you already know this. What does your cardiologist say? If you're not hooked up with one, do so immediately. Eat right and exercise in accordance with protocol. Best of luck
