Lee T
, Lee R. 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? Harv Heart Lett. 2012 Oct; 23(2):2.

Lee T
, Lee R. Ask the doctors. I am a 62-year-old female with no chronic health problems, but I am about 10 pounds overweight. My new doctor wants to put me on a statin immediately. My total cholesterol is 187: my LDL is 129, my HDL is 47, and my triglycerides are 55. He is concerned because my father died of a heart attack from coronary artery disease. The doctor wants my HDL to be above 60 and my LDL to be below 100. Could this result be achieved by weight loss, dietary changes, and exercise alone? If not, which statin would you recommend?

. Ask the doctor. I was recently admitted to the hospital in the middle of the night with chest pain. When the doctors took my blood pressure, they found that it was much lower in my right arm than in my left. They rushed me in for a CT scan, saying they were looking for a "tear." Fortunately, there wasn't one, and the next day I underwent angioplasty. What was this tear they were worried about? Harv Heart Lett. 2007 Sep; 18(1):8.

. By the way, doctor. I'm an 86-year-old man with type 2 diabetes. I get my eyes checked, eat carefully, and test my blood sugar. I exercise in the gym three times a week and still play tennis once a week. Recently, I read new studies that say type 2 diabetes may be a precursor to Alzheimer's disease. It scared the heck out of me. What do you think? Harv Health Lett. 2006 Dec; 32(2):8.

. Ask the doctor. I haven't had such good luck with my heart--a heart attack ten years ago and angioplasty with two stents inserted last year. Would it make sense for me to have a yearly stress test? If I had been doing that after my heart attack, maybe my doctor would have seen the blockage and we could have done something about it earlier. Harv Heart Lett. 2005 Aug; 15(12):8.

. Ask the doctor. Sometime soon I will need to have my aortic valve replaced. I like the fact that mechanical valves last longer than biological valves, but I don't like the fact that they require you to take the blood thinner Coumadin to prevent blood clots. I have heard that one of the new mechanical valves won't require Coumadin, just aspirin. Is that so? Harv Heart Lett. 2005 Mar; 15(7):8.
