How does this site work? Private, volunteers etc?

To: KenKeith
Thanks for the reply KenKeith.  This is the first time I have ever posted here on this website, so I am not sure what's what.  You have posted several great replies to many people regarding a whole range of problems that are heart related.  Is this your site or do you work for MedHelp?  Or is it just several volunteer people on the site that post answers to comments and questions?  Either way, I appreciated your reply as it has given me some important things to consider, specially regarding the exercise and exertion.  I will be keeping a close eye on the EF for awhile and hopefully have not suffered any new permanent damage.  Since this issue started with breathing problems, do you think I should get a lung xray?  I did have a chest infection about one-month before my last heart episode.  Did you also hear about the Digitek recall and that problem?  I stopped taking it the week my breathing problem stopped?

Thank you for the generous comment.  Connie (AKA Momto3) should get the credit for improving the forum's membership and responses in a timely manner.  I can see the improvement.

I was not aware of the recall, thanks for that information.  I stopped taking the medicationt 2 years ago, and there never has been any symptoms. I see the doc next week and I will bring up the subject after reading more on the subject.
