concerned about mom

Posted: Apr 9, 2012

So this weekend I was in the living room and mom was in the kitchen. She then came next to me and said that she was feeling intense back pain and chest pain along with palpitations. She sat down for a few minutes and drank some water but she was in anguish. She is perimenopausal and has been getting palpitations every once in a while. she's a pretty tough woman, has a high pain tolerance... I am concerned because we're told so often that strokes and heart attacks can seem so subtle at first. Im in my 20s and so I am a little unsure and could use some "motherly" advice on how or what I should do for mom. TIA

about heart attack or stroke symptoms. My dad had a massive heart attack that nearly took his life and his only symptom was severe nausea with vomiting. He had 3 strokes and all of them had different symptoms. It might do well to have a stress test done just to see if she has any problems. Believe me, it's best to get checked out NOW, before the symptoms get worse. I don't mean to scare you, but it's better to catch a problem (if there is one) than wait until it's too late. Never hurts to take one aspirin when you have symptoms. Lots of times the pain is noncardiac, but you just never know. God Bless.

heartburn. ALl my life growing up, my dad had a bottle of maalox or mylanta on his headboard. he would have "heartburn" and drink from the bottle. It got really bad one night, my stepmom tried to call 911 and he told her no, it was easing...clot was probably traveling. he went to bed, was dead when she got up the next morning. Horrible story...but so true. Never play with ur heart....get it checked out. Better to be told its heartburn, than not go and it be heart attack!

I am listening to President Obama at a rally in North Carolina and I think he honestly thinks North Carolinians are just plain stupid. If the truth be known, really both candidates are not very good choices. However, when I think about the Benghazi incident and hear Hilary Clinton say "What does that matter" well it matters to me. Her husband going to meet with the Attorney General on the tarmack for 30 minutes knowing she was under investigation was wrong. She is gu ...

I am a Republican but cannot believe that there are actually Democrats out there that believe in H. Clinton. Are we not tired of scandals, etc., with this lady. I urge voters in New Hampshire to truly think about who they are voting for. We all need to think about our kids future, jobs, college, etc. We cannot go on with the same status quo. Politics is a dirty business. Just my thoughts. ...

I just had a mammogram in March of this year, everything fine. I noticed a slightly bigger than pencil eraser size reddish lesion on 1 margin of my breast day before yesterday. I have had other skin lesions and made visits to the dermatologist as recent as about 2 months ago, had seborrheic dermatitis on my face, also notice sometimes I have like a red, itching place on the upper groin. I wonder if I should be worried enough to go back in and have this latest place checked out? ...

I am posting this in regards to the border troops I posted below. Someone posted about the Mexican coyotes. I decided to look for verification. Most articles were taken from Fox News and since some of you can't stand Fox, I kept looking. I am currently looking for more verification.
