Question 3

Accepted Answer

True: The big vessels that supply blood to the uterus are under the uterus.  When you lay on your back, the weight of the uterus compresses these blood vessels so that there is less blood flow to the baby.   Its best to sleep on your left or right sides.  Best wishes!

Question 4

my chest, back and legs hurt.  my heart feels like a pinching feeling, and my legs (both) feel like there is no blood flow.  what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms are: too diverse to pin point a diagnosis without performing an examination and some testing. You need to make an appointment with a health care professional for an evaluation.

Question 5

what is the sequence of blood flow through the heart and vascular system?

Accepted Answer

Here you go: Blood enters through the vena cavae, passes through the right atrium into the right ventricle. The blood then goes out into the lungs and returns via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium. That blood then goes out the left ventricle to the body and returns via the vena cavae.  The order of blood vessels is great vessels, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins and back to the cavae.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Hypertrophic cardio-: Myopathy.  Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy occurs sometimes in healthy atheletes and in patients with a family history of the disease.

Question 7

could you please describe how increases in the heart rate affect coronary blood flow?

Accepted Answer

Inverse: The coronaries fill during diastole. As heart rate increases, diastole shortens. At very fast heart rates, there may be inadequate time for coronary filling.

Question 8

if an person is taking an blood thinner for heart isease, can he take the product "healthy blood flow" from an health store?

Accepted Answer

See below: It depends on what is in healthy blood flow. Chances are that a nutritional supplement is not needed. Also these products are not regulated by the fda.

Question 9

what can cause a blood flow from heart to liver be at borderline fast, can be normal in me? i have no symptoms, i went for annual and here i am!

Accepted Answer

Normal variant.: This could just be a normal variation for you. If you don't have any symptoms, then i wouldn't worry about it. Every time a test or study is performed on someone, you're going to find something off even if the person is perfectly healthy. It's just part of being human - no two people are exactly alike.

Question 10

being anxious when performing on me a liver duplex uls can increased the blood flow to liver from heart? does anxiety increased blood flow overall?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: Anxiety can temporarily increase your heart rate and cardiac output, but it will not adversely affect your test results.  There is help for ongoing anxiety (and also depression that your additional info mentions).  A psychiatrist can provide a comprehensive evaluation and offer treatment suggestions.
