Harvard Heart Letter : From Harvard Medical School

May 8, 1999
Ask the doctor. I first learned I had high blood pressure in the 1970s. Back then, I was told that the bottom number was the important one. Now I am hearing the opposite. Which is right?

Ask the doctor. I am 72 and have had diabetes for about 10 years. My doctor wants me to start taking insulin because my sugar levels are usually high get (about 300). I don't want to, though, because I am sure I will be stuck taking it forever. Isn't it true that the kind of diabetes you get when you are older is mild?

Ask the doctor. I am trying to help my husband stop smoking. He tried to use the antidepressant Zyban, but it didn't work. He has also tried the nicotine patch, and that didn't work either. Is there any reason why he shouldn't try both together?

Ask the doctor. I've been fighting obesity all my life. I'm a 62-year-old woman and every five years or so I lose about 20 pounds, then slowly gain it back. I've heard that this "yo-yo" pattern of weight loss, weight gain, weight loss, may be more dangerous than just staying heavy. Should I give up trying to lose weight?

Ask the doctor. I read in the paper about a manufacturer that recalled some heart valves. I had surgery a year ago to replace my mitral valve. How can I tell if this is a problem for me?

Ask the doctor: My husband had a heart attack last winter. Although his doctor says his heart is now fine, he just has not bounced back the way I thought he would. He has trouble sleeping and no energy. I am concerned that he is going to continue on a downward spiral

Ask the doctor: I started taking estrogen four years ago because I have a family history of heart disease and I have high cholesterol. Now I read that estrogen may even increase my risk for heart problems. I assume I should stop taking it, right?

By the way, doctor... My hair has been thinning out for the past decade or so, but since my doctor started me on Lipitor (atorvastatin) a few months ago for high cholesterol, I swear it's been falling out much faster. My doctor discounts the possibility, but I looked in the Physicians' desk reference (PDR) and alopecia is listed under "adverse reactions." What do you think?

Ask the doctor. For years, I have been taking reserpine for my high blood pressure. A younger doctor I recently saw had never met anyone taking it. Should I be switched to something new?
