Q:
my husband has had 2 open heart surgeries in the past 10 years. My question is: If he were to get a job and was able to get insurance thru his job, would he have a problem getting ins. due to the pre-existing condition? Right now he is on mine from my work. But, my job states he needs to take his job''s ins. if it is offered. Otherwise I have to pay a much higher price for him.
A: how to apply for insurance ''Evaluating pre-existing conditionsWhen you apply for insurance independently, a pre-existing condition -- a chronic problem or diagnosis that existed before you applied, such as HIV or cancer -- can lead to a higher rate or denial of coverage (unless your state doesn''t allow this). For example, if you have diabetes, the company may offer you a policy that doesn''t pay for insulin, covers your diabetes only after a waiting period or increases your premiums. Note that federal law may offer you some protections and if you are denied coverage, there are other options you can check out.'' I have found this information for you. I wish you the best in getting the insurance coverage you need....

Q:
Bypass heart surgery?
A: Risk will vary with age, weight, present health situation, does he still smoke, and in what condition are his lungs.

I smoked heavy for 41 years and quit about 30 years ago, also have been diagnosed with calcified asbestos in the lungs, last september I went through a quadruple by-pass, at age 79, the following day they had me walking around, with help of course, but walking. Three days after the surgery I was home. Medicine today is fantastic. You have to understand, when one goes...

Has anyone here taken BETA BLOCKERS for heart palpitations before?
A: Hi my name is Alan I had rhumatic fever age 9 and blew out my Mitral valve I was very lucky to survive and 44 years later I''m still around.

Q:
Hep-Pak - how long does the affect of heparin last after therapy as with after final dosage, hours,?
A: 22 Feb 2012 I thought it would have been out of her system by now. I don''t think there is anything to worry about as long as it has clotted. Has she noticed anything else unusual such as blood in the stool or urine, bloody nose, excessive bruising or bleeding gums, that would indicate heparin is still in her system? If you are concerned talk with your doctor. Votes:+0CommentVote upReport DemoninDC24 Feb 2012 does your wife have any renal impairment? To be clear, are you saying that 2 weeks and 4 days ago your wife''s last dose of Hep-Pak was administered? If so, there should not be any effect from the heparin unless she has an impairment. It is more probable that the tech did not pull the needle straight out and this caused a little additional amount of blood to...

A: I think it will be ver risky and may risk ur life. You can always consult ur doctor 4 this What your talking about is called a heart Murmur.

But if this is something that you routinely see your doctors about or is a condition that you know actively interferes in parts of your life consult your doctor!
