July 7, 2012
Ask the doctors. I once had Hodgkin's disease and was cured with radiation to my chest and neck. Now, 30 years later, I have shortness of breath. Is there any way to reverse the radiation damage to my lungs and heart?

Ask the doctor. I am a healthy 52 year old who likes to stay fit. Recently, I have occasionally fainted after doing eight or 10 chin-ups. My physician did an EKG and stress test the first time this happened and found my heart is normal. He had me wear a monitor for 24 hours, and it indicated nothing was wrong. Your thoughts?

Ask the doctor. I am a 47-year-old man with diabetes being treated with insulin and high blood pressure treated with lisinopril and low-dose hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). I have read that HCTZ can actually cause diabetes. My physician says not to worry about it, but I do

Ask the doctors. I am 90 years old and have had severe heart failure for seven years after having a heart attack. I have an implantable defibrillator. It has never gone off. It is near the end of its lifetime, and the cardiologist asked me if I want it replaced. What would you advise?

Ask the doctors. My potassium level is high, and my physician stopped the medication that has successfully controlled my blood pressure for years, lisinopril. What is the danger from high potassium, and why is lisinopril a problem?

Ask the doctors. I have had atrial fibrillation for a year, and I have felt pretty normal on a beta blocker (metoprolol) and digoxin. However, I recently began to feel very fatigued and noticed my heart rate was only 35 beats per minute. We stopped those medications, and my heart rate came up. I feel better. Are these drugs dangerous for me?

Ask the doctors. I am a 67-year-old woman with high blood pressure. Two weeks ago, I felt some chest pressure and went to the emergency department. The pain cleared up when they gave me an antacid. My EKG and blood tests were normal. The doctor thought my pain might be due to acid in my esophagus. But when my own doctor sent me for an exercise test, I got chest pain after about five minutes, and the cardiologist said my EKG showed abnormalities that are strongly suggestive of coronary disease. She prescribed a beta blocker and suggested cardiac catheterization. Do you agree with this?

Ask the doctors. I thought one of the reasons to receive a heart valve made from cow tissue was that you don't have to take blood thinners. Now my doctor is telling me that I will need to take warfarin [Coumadin] for several months after I have my aortic valve replaced. Has the thinking changed?

Ask the doctors. Varicose veins make my legs look terrible. Is there anything I can do to prevent these ugly veins from getting worse or, preferably, make them go away?
