Open Question: Multiple blood clots in patient with congestive heart failure... cause? prognosis? Help, please!?
Hi everyone. My father has had congestive heart failure for the last 15 years. He has a pacemaker and has undergone multiple ablations. Last month he threw a blood clot- it went into his kidney. They were able to dissolve it and he was allowed to return home. Today he was rushed back to the hospital and they found multiple blood clots- in his other kidney, his spleen, and his leg (the dr. did not specify where the others were. His exact words were, "he is throwing clots like mad". They are doing a brain scan tomorrow morning to check for clots there (he is very confused- cannot remember even simple things). I am aware that heart failure frequently leads to blood clots. My question is this- why now? He has been on coumadin for many years and they check his levels weekly. What is the prognosis? Thank you so very much in advance! (more...)

Open Question: Is it normal to not want to go to your own Grandfather's funeral?
Hang tight for a very long description. My Grandfather is 90 years old and he's dying. Really he's been dying for a long time. He started letting himself go when my grandmother died 14 years ago. They were married for 53 years, and he just couldn't live without her. He even refused to move her things from the house. Till the day he sold the house, 13 years after she died, my Grandmother's perfume and soap stayed in the bathroom. Since then, he never went to a doctor when he should have. My family has known for a long time that he was very sick. Honestly, most of us have been secretly praying he had died several years ago. It would have saved him kidney trouble, a broken hip, a heart attack, and selling the home he shared with the love of his life. Since last January he's been in a nursing home connected to a hospital. He's had at least three cases of Pneumonia, four ear infections, his pacemaker battery was out for 10 days, and he had a heart attack and a TIA whatever that is. I think it's a mini stroke or heart attack. Anyway, the home missed all of it. They moved him to the ICU five days after Christmas, having finally noticed he had a heart attack the day before. He's been steadily getting worse since. The point is, I've known for a very long time that he's dying. Really he's been dying for 14 years. The thing is, I love my Grandfather. Seeing as how this is anonomous, I'm going to tell you the full truth. My Grandfather is the one person in my family I love without condition. He's the only one I love everything about. And he's the only one who truly understands me. See all those years he lived alone, I lived 6 years alone myself. We're the only two people in the family to have lived alone for so long. He and I alone understand how very lonely single life can be. I don't even think this would be an issue, except that I live 300 miles from him, and don't drive. I saw him maybe two or three times a year till I turned 25, then maybe once or twice, usually in June, for his birthday and mine. Then the whole family got together at my Grandfather's house. Except when everyone would go out for walks, or whatever, I'd stay and talk to him about his past, and his years in WWII. Those were my favorite times, being alone with him. Now, at 31, the best times of my life were spent in that living room, just Grandpa and me. And now he's dying. All this time he's been sick, I've only seen bits and pieces of it. My mother wants me to go and hold his hand while he's dying, and can't do it. I can't watch him die. I love him to much to have my last memory of him be on all sorts of machines and junk, keeping him alive, when I KNOW he wants to die. The thought of going to the funeral, of seeing him actually dead... No way could I make it through that. My mother says it's a matter of that I don't want to. True, but I really think it just might kill me to watch him die, and bury him. It might just kill me when he dies anyway. No, to be honest, I might just kill me. I've spent most of my life living with Manic Depression and Suicidal Ideations. Loosing the one person I love more than any other in the world... I don't know if I can handle that. What I want to know is, how normal is this, considering? Should I force myself to go, and forever remember my Grandfather as the dying shell of a heart who left long ago, or should I stay, and keep the memory of those lazy summer days in his living room?

Voting Question: Low Blood Pressure 93/63 when sitting. Standing 138/76.?
Dr put me on Zyrtec for 3 days. Today is the second day. I was very dizzy. Not walked out from the car, was dropped out from the car when opened the door..... Tested at home with a NOT reliable meter 166/91. Don't know should I continue with the salt table 600mg, 3 times a day or stop every thing? I have a pacemaker (this is number 4) which is programmed pacing at 60 per minute. I have wpw, SSS, AT, AF. I am also a type II diabetes. When I'm lying or sleeping, my hands are all puffy and the fingers are unable to bend. Cardio said all fine, there is nothing wrong with my heart. I hope someone can explain to me what's wrong with me? Why my BP will drop when sitting and normal while standing? Do I need to standing whole day and avoid to sit? If that way, I think I would faint within an hour. Would drinking a lot of strong coffee helps? What is low BP related to? (more...)
