Mitral Valve Prolapse and Receiving Social Security Disability

Friday, February 26th, 2010

: Image via Wikipedia

Your heart is the center of your cardiovascular system. Your heart pumps blood through your body’s blood vessels to all of your cells. Your blood carries oxygen that your cells need. Heart disease refers to a group of diseases that occur when your heart and blood vessels are not working like they should.

Your mitral valve is also called the bicuspid valve or left atrioventricular valve. It is a dual-flap valve that separates the lower (ventricle) and upper (atrium) chambers of the left side of your heart. Your mitral valve has the function of controlling blood flow from your left atrium into your left ventricle.

Mitral valve prolapse happens when your mitral valve fails to close the way it should. This sometimes results in blood leaking back into your left atrium. This is a condition that is referred to as mitral valve regurgitation.

Mitral valve prolapse is referred to by other names. It is also called floppy valve syndrome, ballooning mitral valve syndrome, click-murmur syndrome and Barlow’s syndrome.

Mitral valve prolapse is the most common heart valve abnormality. As much as 10% of the general population may have some form of this condition.

Most of the time mitral valve prolapse does not cause any problems and does not require treatment. However, when mitral valve prolapse does cause signs and symptoms, it is called mitral valve prolapse syndrome, and it can have serious, life-threatening complications.

As mentioned earlier, many people never have any signs or symptoms with mitral valve prolapse. If you do have signs and symptoms, they can vary greatly from person to person. Some of the signs and symptoms that you may experience are:

Fatigue
Shortness of breath or having trouble breathing that often occurs when you are doing physical activity or lying down flat
Chest pain that is not caused by coronary artery disease or a heart attack
An irregular or racing heartbeat (arrhythmia)
Lightheadedness or dizziness
Cough
Anxiety, depression and panic attacks
Migraine headaches.

You or a loved one may have mitral valve prolapse. This condition and/or complications resulting from or other conditions along with it may be why you or your loved one cannot work. It may be the cause of you or your loved one’s disability.

Have you or your loved one applied for the financial assistance that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability caused by mitral valve prolapse and/or complications resulting from or other conditions along with it? Were you denied by the Social Security Administration?

If you or your loved one appeals the denial by the Social Security Administration, remember this important fact. People who have a disability lawyer like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than those who are not represented by a disability attorney.

Cystic Fibrosis and Receiving Social Security Disability

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

: Image via Wikipedia

Did you know that cystic fibrosis (CF) is sometimes called “65 roses”? This life threatening disease got its nickname from a little boy who overheard his mother talking on the phone about this condition. Every time he heard his mother say, “cystic fibrosis,” he thought she was talking about 65 roses.

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease of the mucous and sweat glands. It affects mainly your lungs, pancreas, intestines, liver, sex organs and sinuses. Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that make mucous, sweat, saliva and digestive juices.

These secretions are usually slippery and thin. If you have cystic fibrosis, however, these secretions become sticky and thick. The secretions stop up ducts, passageways and tubes, especially in your pancreas and lungs. The most dangerous result of cystic fibrosis is respiratory failure.

It is estimated that about 30,000 people have cystic fibrosis in America, and about 70,000 worldwide. About 1,000 new cases of cystic fibrosis are diagnosed every year.

More than 70% of the patients are diagnosed by age 2. More than 40% of the people with cystic fibrosis are 18 or older. The median age of survival for people with cystic fibrosis in 2006 was 37.

There are a variety of ways that cystic fibrosis may affect you. These signs and symptoms may be different depending on your age.

With infants the first sign of cystic fibrosis may be a blockage of their intestines. Other indications in newborns are:

Frequent lung infections
Extremely salty-tasting skin
Wheezing or shortness of breath
Persistent coughing, at times with phlegm
Frequent bulky, greasy stools or difficulty with bowel movements
Poor weight/growth gain in spite of good appetite
Abdominal swelling
Vomiting
Dehydration.

In children and young adults some of the signs and symptoms are:

Foul-smelling, greasy stools
Blockage in the bowels
A salty taste to the skin
Thick sputum
Delayed growth
Frequent sinus and chest infections with recurring bronchitis or pneumonia
Rounding or enlargement of the toes and fingertips
Protrusion of part of the rectum through the anus.

Cystic fibrosis can also involve cirrhosis of the liver, displacement of one part of your intestine into another part of the intestine and growths in your nasal passages.

Is cystic fibrosis preventing you from working? Is this disorder the cause of your disability?

Have you applied for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by cystic fibrosis? Were you denied?

If you are thinking about appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration, you will need a disability lawyer like the one at socialsecurityhome.com to assist you in this process. This is true because people who are represented by a disability attorney are approved more often than those people who do not have a lawyer.

One of the harmful things that diabetes does is to damage your nerves. One of the common complications associated with diabetes is damage to the nerves that allow you to feel sensations such as pain. This complication of diabetes is called diabetic neuropathy.

There are several ways that diabetes damages your nerves, but they all seem to be related to your blood sugar (glucose) level being too high for a long period of time. Diabetes refers to a set of related diseases where your body cannot regulate the amount of sugar in your blood. (link to page Diabetes and Disability) Diabetic neuropathy is damage to your nerves that allow you to feel sensations. As stated above, diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes.

There are four types of diabetic neuropathy. These are peripheral, autonomic, proximal and focal.

There are many different ways in which diabetic neuropathy may affect you. The effects that you experience will depend on the type of diabetic neuropathy that you have and the parts of your body that are affected.

Here are some of the effects that you may experience with peripheral, proximal and focal diabetic neuropathy. Peripheral diabetic neuropathy may cause pain, numbness, burning and tingling. Proximal diabetic neuropathy may affect you by causing pain in your hips, buttocks or thighs. Focal diabetic neuropathy may cause pain or muscle weakness in your head, torso or leg.

Autonomic diabetic neuropathy can affect your digestive system, blood vessels, male sex organs, female sex organs or your urinary system. Some of the signs and symptoms you may experience, depending on what area of your body is affected are:

Constipation
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Nausea
Heartburn
Feeling of fullness after eating only a small amount\bloating
Dizziness
Low blood pressure
Increased heart rate
Blacking out when you stand up quickly

Reduced or dry ejaculations
Decrease in the number or lack or orgasms (women)
Decrease in vaginal lubrication
Incontinence
Increased urination at night (nocturia)
Inability to completely empty your bladder.

The effects caused by the different types of diabetic neuropathy can be debilitating. You may be disabled and unable to work because of this disorder.

If this is the case, you may need assistance. You or your loved one may need financial help.

Have you applied for financial assistance from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability caused by diabetic neuropathy? Were you denied?

If you are thinking about appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration, here is something for you to think about. People who are represented and assisted by a caring disability attorney like the one at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than those people without a lawyer.

Bulimia Nervosa and Receiving Social Security Disability

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Many people do not know how large a problem obesity and being overweight are in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that 67% of Americans who are 20 years of age and above are either obese or overweight. That means that more than two out of every three Americans are either obese or overweight.

Nearly all of us eat too much at one time or another. Taking second and third helpings of food at holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas are examples of this. If overeating is something that you do habitually and uncontrollably, you may have a disorder that is called bulimia nervosa.

Bulimia nervosa, which is simply called bulimia much of the time, is an eating disorder that is characterized by recurrent binge eating. This eating disorder is similar to binge eating disorder. The primary difference in these two eating disorders is that a person with bulimia nervosa follows their binge eating with some method of purging or bingeing to prevent gaining weight. These unhealthy methods include self induced vomiting, laxatives, enemas, diuretics and over exercise.

The signs and symptoms of both types of bulimia nervosa are similar. There are several physical signs and symptoms of this eating disorder. These include:

Irregular heartbeat
Bloating
Scars, calluses or sores on your hands or knuckles
Abnormal function of your bowels
Amenorrhea (loss of menstruation) or menstrual irregularities in women
Damaged gums and teeth
Dry skin
Fatigue
Swollen salivary glands in your cheeks
Dehydration
Sores in your mouth and throat.

There are also behavioral and emotional signs and symptoms of bulimia nervosa. Some of these are:

Hoarding food
Exercising for long, extended time periods
Going to the bathroom during meals or after eating
Ongoing dieting
Anxiety
Feeling like your eating is out of your control
Depression
Eating until you feel pain or discomfort
Misusing diuretics, enemas or laxatives
Having an excessive, distorted negative body image of yourself
Preoccupation with your weight or body shape
Eating far more food than in a normal snack or meal.

You or a loved one may have bulimia nervosa. This condition and/or complications resulting from or other conditions along with it may be why you are disabled. It may be the reason why you need financial help.

You or your loved one may have applied for financial assistance from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits. Were you denied?

If you or your loved one intends to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration, here is something important for you to think about. People who have a disability lawyer like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who are not represented by a disability attorney.

Bradycardia and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Cardiac arrhythmia is a medical term that refers to any of a group of conditions in which the electrical activity of your heart is irregular, or is faster or slower than normal. Some arrhythmias are minor and can be looked at as normal. Others are serious, life- threatening medical emergencies that can cause cardiac arrest and sudden death.

Bradycardia is a type or kind of cardiac arrhythmia. Bradycardia is a medical term that refers to a slow resting heart rate. Usually bradycardia is when your resting heart rate is below 50 to 60 beats a minute.

A resting heart rated below 50 to 60 beats a minute does not always indicate bradycardia. Athletes sometimes have a resting heart rate below 50. The term “relative bradycardia” is used in reference to a heart rate that is not below 60 beats a minute, but is considered to be too slow for your current medical condition.

Bradycardia develops in three basic sites. They are the sinus node, autonomic nervous system or conduction system. “Sick Sinus Syndrome” is bradycardia that originates in the sinus node of your heart. Bradycardia that develops in the autonomic nervous system involves the nerves that control the speed of your heartbeat. “Stokes-Adams Heart Block” refers to the bradycardia that begins in your conduction system.

It is possible that you may not have any signs or symptoms at all with bradycardia. You can have bradycardia and not know it until a doctor discovers it during a physical exam. If bradycardia does affect you, here are some things that you may experience:

Fatigue
Fainting
Shortness of breath
Heart palpitations.

As mentioned above, you may not feel any effects from your bradycardia. However, the effects caused by bradycardia can be severe and debilitating.

Bradycardia may be the reason that you or a loved one is unable to work. This condition may be the cause of you or your loved one’s disability.

If this is the case, do you or your loved one need help? Do you need financial help?

Where will that financial assistance come from? Who can you turn to? Who will help you?

Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by bradycardia? Were you or your loved one denied?

You or your loved one may be thinking about appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration. If you decide to do this, here is something that you need to think about.

You or your loved one will need a disability lawyer like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com to help and assist you in this process. This is true because people who are represented by a disability attorney are approved more often than those people who do not have a lawyer.

Atrial Fibrillation and Receiving Social Security Disability

Monday, February 15th, 2010

: Image via Wikipedia

Your heart is the center of your cardiovascular system. Your heart pumps blood to all of your cells through your body’s blood vessels. Your blood carries oxygen that your cells need.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common kind of abnormal heart rhythm (cardiac arrhythmia). Cardiac arrhythmia refers to a group of conditions where your heart is beating in an irregular way.

Atrial fibrillation is when your heart’s atria, the two small upper chambers, quiver instead of beating effectively. The result is that your blood is not completely pumped out of these two chambers. This can cause your blood to pool and clot. A stroke can happen if a piece of a blood clot leaves your heart and lodges in an artery in your brain.

About 2.2 million people or around 1% of the population in the United States have atrial fibrillation. About 15% of strokes happen in people with atrial fibrillation.

Your risk of having atrial fibrillation increases with age. Anywhere from 3 to 5% of people over age 65 have this condition.

There are risk factors that may increase your likelihood of having atrial fibrillation. These include drinking alcohol, heart disease, advancing age, family history, high blood pressure and other chronic conditions.

The signs and symptoms of atrial fibrillation vary from one person to another. Some people do not have any signs or symptoms. If you do have signs and symptoms, you may experience:

An irregular fluttering sensation in your chest
You may faint or become light-headed
Palpitations (A sensation of an irregular or rapid heartbeat)
Chest pain
Shortness of breath during any type of exertion
Weakness
Lack of energy
Anxiety
Confusion
Low blood pressure.

Atrial fibrillation can be chronic or occasional. Chronic atrial fibrillation is an ongoing problem that lasts until it is treated. Occasional atrial fibrillation comes and goes. It may last from minutes to hours and stop on its own.

You or a loved one may have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. This condition and/or complications resulting from or other conditions along with it may be why you or your loved one is disabled. It may be why you need financial assistance.

Do you or your loved one intend to apply for the financial help that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability caused by atrial fibrillation and/or complications resulting from or other conditions along with this disorder? Have you or your loved one already done this and been denied by the Social Security Administration?

If you or your loved one is thinking about appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration, think carefully about this. People who have a disability attorney like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than those who are not represented by a disability lawyer.

Aortic Valve Regurgitation and Receiving Social Security Disability

Friday, February 12th, 2010

The principle artery that leaves your heart is the aorta. Blood leaves your heart by going from you left ventricle (lower chamber) through your aortic valve into your aorta. Aortic valve regurgitation is a disease in which your aortic valve does not close as tightly as it should. This results in some of the blood leaking back into your heart’s left ventricle that was just pumped out of it.

Because of aortic valve regurgitation, your heart may not be able to efficiently pump out blood to the rest of your body. This can result in you feeling breathless and tired.

Aortic valve regurgitation is also known by other names. It is also referred to as aortic regurgitation and aortic insufficiency or aortic incompetence.

Aortic valve regurgitation can come on suddenly. If it does, it requires immediate medical attention. When it does, it is referred to as acute aortic valve regurgitation.

There are several things that may cause chronic aortic valve regurgitation. These include:

Rheumatic fever
Infective endocarditis (infection in your heart)
Congenital heart defects
Advancing Age
Dilation of your aortic root (enlarged aorta)
Treatment for cancer using radiation
Use of the diet medicine fen-phen.

Other things can cause acute aortic valve regurgitation. These include:

Difficulties associated with aortic valve replacement
Dissection of the aorta
Trauma to your chest
An infection of the heart called endocarditis.

Most of the time, however, this disease develops gradually causing no signs or symptoms. You may not even realize that you have this condition. Signs and symptoms will usually begin as the disease progresses. Some of the signs and symptoms that you may have are:

Irregular or rapid pulse rate
Chest discomfort, tightness or pain (angina) that usually increases during exercise
Fainting
Fatigue and weakness that worsens when your activity level increases or you exercise
Swollen feet and ankles
Shortness of breath when you lie flat or exert yourself
Problems with breathing at night
Palpitations (feelings of a rapid, fluttering heartbeat)
Lightheadedness and dizziness
Pulsations in your neck.

You or a loved one may be suffering from aortic valve regurgitation. This disease and/or complications arising from or along with it may be why you are disabled and not able to work. It may be why you or your loved one needs financial help.

Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by aortic valve regurgitation and/or complications resulting from or along with it? Were you or your loved one denied?

If you decide to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration, think about this. People who are represented by a disability attorney like the one at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people who are without representation.

Postrenal Azotemia and Receiving Social Security Disability

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Postrenal azotemia is the third kind of azotemia. The first two are prerenal azotemia and renal azotemia.

Azotemia is a medical condition that involves abnormal levels of nitrogen-containing compounds like creatinine, urea and various body waste compounds and other nitrogen-rich compounds in your blood. This has to do with not enough filtering of your blood by your kidneys.

Azotemia is also a clinical sign of a larger condition known as uremia. Uremia refers to illnesses that go along with kidney failure. Theses include conditions like acidosis, anemia, hyperkalemia, hypertension and hypocalcemia.

Azotemia is a fairly common problem. This is especially true for people that are in the hospital. Hospital acquired azotemia occurs in around 5% of all hospital admissions.

Postrenal azotemia is characterized by abnormal levels of nitrogen-containing and nitrogen-rich compounds in your blood just like the other two types of azotemia. The type of azotemia that you have is determined by what is causing your condition.

All three types of azotemia have some features in common. For example, all three types of azotemia are characterized by a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of your kidneys and increases in your BUN (blood urea nitrogen) and creatinine serum concentrations. The BUN-to-creatinine ratio is one of the things that help identify the type of azotemia you have.

There are different effects that postrenal azotemia may cause. Some of these are:

Pain or urgency with urination
Difficulty in urinating
Urine that is dark or red blood-tinged
Chills and fever if you have an infection
Swelling in your ankles or feet
Confusion
Weakness and fatigue with extreme muscle weakness
A seizure.

The effects caused by postrenal azotemia and/or conditions resulting from or along with it can debilitating. It may be why you or a loved one is disabled.

Do you or your loved one need help because of your disability? Do you need financial help?

Who can you turn to? Who can you look to for the financial aid that you need? Where will it come from?

Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by postrenal azotemia and/or conditions along with or as a result of it? Were you denied?

You or your loved one may be thinking about appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration. If you do, remember this.

You or your loved one will need a disability lawyer like the one at socialsecurityhome.com to represent you in this process. The reason for this being true is because people who are helped and represented by a disability attorney are approved more often than those people who do not have a lawyer.

Do not wait. Do not put this off. This is something that could affect you or your loved one for the rest of your life. Contact the disability attorney at socialsecurityhome.com, today.

Prerenal Azotemia and Receiving Social Security Disability

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Prerenal azotemia is a type of azotemia. The other two types are renal azotemia and postrenal azotemia.

Azotemia is a medical condition that is characterized by abnormal levels of nitrogen-containing compounds like creatinine, various body waste compounds, urea and other nitrogen-rich compounds in your blood. It has to do with insufficient filtering of your blood by your kidneys.

Azotemia is also a clinical sign of a wider condition known as uremia. Uremia refers to illnesses that go along with kidney failure. Theses include conditions like acidosis, anemia, hyperkalemia, hypertension and hypocalcemia.

Like the other two types of azotemia, prerenal azotemia is marked by abnormal levels of nitrogen-containing and nitrogen-rich compounds in your blood. It is distinguished by what causes it and by a BUN-to-creatinine ratio that is greater than 15. This refers to the ratio of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to the ratio of creatinine serum concentrations in your blood.

The reason for this involves the mechanism that filters BUN and creatinine. Your glomerular filtration rate (GFR) levels are decreased due to hypoperfusion. This leads to a general increase in BUN and creatinine levels, but some of the filtered BUN is reabsorbed from the proximal tubules of your kidney back into your blood. This happens with only a tiny amount of filtered creatinine. Therefore, more BUN builds up in your blood than does creatinine.

Azotemia is a fairly common problem. This is especially true if you are hospitalized. Hospital acquired azotemia occurs in around 5% of all hospital admissions.

There are several different ways that prerenal azotemia may affect you. Some of these include:

Decrease in urine output
No urine output
Excessive urination at night (nocturia)
Pale skin color
Dry mouth
Weakness and fatigue
Confusion
Rapid pulse
Pain in your abdomen
Edema (swelling)
Excessive thirst.

The effects from prerenal azotemia and/or other related underlying conditions may be keeping you or a loved one from working. Prerenal azotemia and/or other related underlying conditions may be the cause of you or your loved one’s disability.

If this is the case, you or your loved one may need assistance. You may need financial aid.

Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by prerenal azotemia and/or related underlying conditions? Were you or your loved one denied?

You or your loved one may plan on appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration. If you do, think about this.

You or your loved one will need a disability lawyer like the one at socialsecurityhome.com to counsel and guide you in what can be a long and trying process. The reason this is true is because people who have a disability attorney on their side are approved more often than those people who are without a lawyer.

Do not hesitate. Do not wait. Contact the disability attorney at socialsecurityhome.com, today.

Renal Azotemia and Receiving Social Security Disability

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Renal azotemia is one of the three kinds of azotemia. The other two are postrenal azotemia and prerenal azotemia.

Azotemia is a medical condition that is evidenced by abnormal levels of nitrogen-rich and nitrogen-containing compounds like creatinine, urea and various body waste compounds in your blood. This relates to insufficient filtering of your blood by your kidneys.

Renal azotemia is marked by abnormal levels of nitrogen-containing and nitrogen-rich compounds in your blood just like the other two types of azotemia. The type of azotemia is determined by the cause of the condition. All three types share some common features.

For example, all forms of azotemia are characterized by a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of your kidneys and increases in your creatinine serum concentrations and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). The BUN-to-creatinine ratio is a useful measure in determining which type of azotemia you have.

Azotemia is also a clinical sign of a broader condition known as uremia. Uremia refers to illnesses that coincide with kidney failure.

Renal azotemia is an intrinsic disease of your kidney. It is generally the result of renal parenchymal damage. This is the type of azotemia that usually leads to uremia.

The BUN-to-creatinine ratio for renal azotemia is normal, which is less than 15. Although your glomerular filtration rate is decreased, and both your blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels are increased in your blood, no BUN is reabsorbed from the filtrate because of your damaged proximal tubules. The result is that BUN is lost into your urine just like creatinine.

Azotemia is a somewhat common problem. It begins frequently during a hospital stay. Hospital acquired azotemia occurs in around 5% of all hospital admissions.

There are several ways that renal azotemia may affect you. Some of these ways are:

Weakness and fatigue
Confusion or a seizure
Pain or urgency with urination
Inflammation and edema (swelling)
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Hyperkalemia (an elevated level of potassium in your blood)
Difficulty in performing daily activities or extreme muscle weakness
Frequent urination.
Decrease in urine output.

These effects may keep you or a loved one from working. Renal azotemia and/or related underlying conditions may be the cause of you or your loved one’s disability.

You may need assistance. You or your loved one may need financial help.

Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by renal azotemia and/or related underlying conditions? Were you denied?

You may plan on appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration. If you do, remember this.

You will need a disability lawyer like the one at socialsecurityhome.com to assist you in this process. The reason this is true is because people who are represented by a disability attorney are approved more often than those people without a lawyer.
