Question 1

does the brain control heart electrical impulses?  if not, what does?  both my cardio and neurologist say me heart electrical system is unbalanced, that the contraction phase is longer than my relaxation phase, causing me "chest" pain.  what medicines are

Accepted Answer

Electrical systems: Our bodies have cells that are ALL  electrically active,there are numerous interconnects via multiple modalities(nerves,hormones etc) between the various systems that your attributed statement does not make sense;try talking again with the physicians such that through repetition you gain better insight into what they are trying to impart;failing this seek other opinion but become body educated

Question 2

is the contraction of the heart directly controlled by brain impulses

Accepted Answer

Contraction: The contraction of the heart is a property of the heart muscle itself. The rate of contraction is a complex interaction of the cardiorespiratory system and the nervous system.

Question 3

hy, i have  major problem, i m affraid that i m about to have an heart atack, this thought is my mind all the time. i lose control.. pls help me?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: You likely have an anxiety disorder as you are very young and at little to zero risk for a "heart attack".  Please talk to your physician.  Cognitive behavioral therapy may be very useful +/- medication.

Question 4

are these panic attacks? running, screaming, babbling. no control of body. no memory of actions. mind and heart racing. thots that i am not real.

Accepted Answer

No: That would be a dissociative reaction due to the amnesia. A form of temporal lobe epilepsy should also be ruled out because of the babbling response. You need a full neurological workup and a dissociative disorders workup by specialist in dissociative dis. In hudson, they are:physician name	specialty
raghu v devabhaktuni md	psychiatrist
scot d machlus phd	psychologist
sheila deck spires phd	psycho.

Question 5

what are some of the factors that may cause heart & brain diseases?

Accepted Answer

Many: But the number one thing that many need to stop is tobaccoism. Smoking damages the heart and brain as well as the lung, the throat and others. Smoking contributes in producing placques on the walls of blood vessels called arteries. If a piece of plaque stuck to the wall suddenly flakes off, that small particle can create havoc in one's body and lead to heart attack and stroke. You seen the dr?

Question 6

can their be heart stroke, because i was under impression that stroke can only be of brain?

Accepted Answer

Different names: For different organs.  In fact some people have advocated calling a stroke a "brain attack" to motivate people to seek immediate treatment like they have learned for a heart attack.  Similar problem occurring with a blocked artery, just to a different organ.

Question 7

what will happen to tissues, such as the heart and brain, if oxygenated blood is not delivered in a timely manner?

Accepted Answer

Bad things: The brain can not tolerate over 4 minutes without Oxygen. More than that the brain suffers permanent damage and even death.
The heart (or portions of its muscle) can tolerate it a little longer but permanent heart damage happens if the blood is not restored to the area in question in less than 3 hours.
That why is so important to get to a hospital as soon as possible (Time is myocardium/ muscle)

Question 8

brain as shrunk twice? been told i have blood in me not for my age...but for an olderperson..and something on my heart..but they don't know what it's?

Accepted Answer

??: I'm sorry; your wording is very difficult to understand. Is english not your native language? I'm afraid no one will be able to answer your question(s) unless you restate it/them in a more intelligible form. You will also need more detail in order for someone to be able to make any sense out of your inquiry. You may want to ask someone for help with this.

Question 9

could heart has a brain of its own?

Accepted Answer

Brain: The  heart and the brain are distinct organs and made of distinctly different kinds of tissue. The heart has electrically active tissue but does not have 'brain' tissue.

Question 10

what more important a heart or a brain?

Accepted Answer

Brain?: Artificial hearts exists. You can receive a heart transplant from a donor. Both of these things are not true for a brain.
