What different types of heart diseases do they have?

---

I'm 23 & I saw a heart doctor yesterday, & so far, he told me that it doesn't look like I have heart disease from the EKG & ultrasound, but he has to run a stress test on a treadmill to see how I handle it. I get chest pains very easily simply just from walking the 1st 2 minutes. I know I'm overweight & I'm trying to lose it. But how can I if every time I try to exercise, I get chest pains? My Dr. said I'm too young for heart disease, & my PCP told me my cholesterol is a little high but not enough to be put on medication.

What kinds of heart diseases do they have? I hope I don't have it, & I'm trying to do my best to prevent it.

A coated childrens asprin takes the chest pain away quickly. you dont need a prescription for spray nitro.The side efects not pleasant :; pounding head etc.  (+ info)

How can I make my permanently enlarged parotid glands go down without meds. (The doc thinks i have Sjrogrens)?

---

So I've had a wider, chipmunk face for years and it's so embarrassing. I've heard lemond drops work. Anything else to reduce swelling in enlarged glands?

He's not positive I have it but with my symptoms and enlarged glands he thinks so. (I can feel the englarged parotid glands when I massage my hands area over them.)
Hi, Some things that might help your inflamed parotid glands are massages; warm compresses; stimulation your salivary flow by sucking on sugarless hard candies. (NSAIDS can reduce swelling).

Adaptogens which are used to normalize functioning in the body might help you....for example if your immune system is in overdrive it will calm it, if it's weak it will strengthen it.

Some adaptogens are American:
Panax Ginseng
Rhodiola rosea
Deglycerated Licorice
Schizandra
Ashwaganda
Mushrooms from health food store.

Antioxidants that might be helpful or supplements which might reduce inflammation in the body are:
**MSM-sulfur, 4th most prominent mineral in body....try to get powder you can take more.
**Resveratrol 100mg 2X/day
Omega 3 Fish Oils 3000mg
Vit D3 600-800mg 2X/day with meals

There is a pharmacist/nutritionist/chemist who owns a nutraceutical company: www.invitehealth.com.
His name is Jerry Hickey & you can call & ask him for help
1-800-724-5566

I also get MSM from www.roex.com
Also google:mayo clinic>>diseases>>Sjrogren's Syndrome

Hope this helps.  (+ info)

What can cause the parotid glands to become swollen and painful?

---

I am a 32 yr old female if that helps. Last week, I started out with a sore throat and a cough and have been taking antibiotics for five days now and just developed the swollen, painful glands yesterday. One side is so swollen that it hurts to eat. Could this be something to worry about or am I worrying too much?
If this is really the parotid salivary gland that is swollen you have to consider the mumps, especially if you haven't had them as a child. Other viruses including influenza can also cause parotitis, and bacterial infections, including staph can also involve the parotid gland. Rare conditions causing parotid swelling include salivary stones, tumors, autoimmune inflammations(Sjogrens syndrome), sarcoidosis and reactions to medications(thiazides).  (+ info)

What diseases that can be transmitted from animals to human and vice versa?

---

Tell me what diseases do you know that came from animals and transmitted to us. And also what ways we can prevent it.
There are hundreds, way too many to list here! You are referring to zoonoses, the term for a disease that can be passed from animals to humans and vice versa. Zoonoses can be parasitical, fungal, bacterial, viral, and just plain "other". They can be transmitted by cows, cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and even fish.

Read about common zoonoses at
http://www.who.int/zoonoses/en/
http://www.anapsid.org/chomeltables.html (about pets!)

If you have access to a library, this book http://www.amazon.ca/Zoonoses-Communicable-Diseases-Common-Animal/dp/927511580X is a good source for your Question.

If you have a particular pet you are concerned about, you may want to search [pet] zoonoses.  (+ info)

What makes certain diseases more likely to be frequent and widespread epidemics?

---

like cholera, the flu, dengue fever, and the plague. there's a list of epidemics on wikipedia and i'd like to know what those diseases have to make them so popular (in relation to deaths/occurences/etc) throughout history.
Thank you.
Interesting, isn't it? These diseases are living right alongside humans. Humans and these diseases grew up together - evolved together - perhaps we're dependent upon one another in some mystical way. (Read "Guns, Germs and Steel" J. Diamond).

So on the day you don't enforce the health laws (as we often don't in these recent times of republican "deregulation"), these diseases wait in the wings to step up and start killing people - we just saw this with the salmonella in the peanut butter.

Li'l Bush killed the food inspectors - the money had to go to his rich friends instead for more bottles of champagne. And now people are dead from this - and we're damned fortunate it wasn't worse.  (+ info)
