I'm thinking about marrying a girl who's had heart valve surgery. She's 27 and on meds her cardiologist says she'll need forever. I'm worried about what this means for us, especially if we want to have kids. Could her medication cause any side effects or issues with pregnancy? And what should we expect for her health and our life together?

I'm experiencing shortness of breath at night when I'm trying to sleep, and it sometimes happens while I'm eating too. Could this be related to fluid in my lungs? What could be causing this?

Yes it causes difficulty in breathing. ADvised chest x-ray and plueral fluid for ADA and culture and sensitivity.

I'm really concerned about this left chest pain I've been experiencing for the past 10 days. It's mostly just a feeling of heaviness in my chest, and I'm finding it really difficult to breathe properly. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Hi. It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with any potential heart-related pain. Please take one tablet with a glass of water.

I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms and I'm getting a bit worried. A few days ago, I had trouble breathing, and then I started feeling pain in my ribs that moved towards my left chest. It happened again recently, and I'm concerned it might be related to a heart issue. Could you please advise me on what this could be or suggest any treatment?
