chest/heart problems??

[meeyoung]

My mom has beed complaining of many symptoms for quite a while now..
we dont have health insurance and cant go see a doctor...
I tried to take her but she refuses to go...
I've learned in school many things about the heart and to me
it sounds kind of like a heart prob.

here are some of her symptoms.

- whole right side aches and groin/joints.
- large red bumps on legs( itches when in warmer temp)
-when taking a breath in chest pain.
- loss of memory
- increased thirst

uhm.. i dont think that the bumps are excema.. these are not small bumps.. they are big.. and irregular in shape. she got tested for diabetes and was fine for it not too long ago (1 month?) doc said the bumps were nothing to worry about but my mom has PERFECT skin and all of a sudden we see all these bumps all over her legs and now its all lumpy and red.. and gross looking and all the doctors we saw at this community place was like nothing to worry about.. it takes 2 months to get seen there. ><
she has gotten blood tests. pap tests mamograms.. all the reg tests and checks and still they say there is nothing wrong.

Hi  there, I am sorry that you guys have no insurance, that has got to rot. It sound like your mom has a few things going on hey? I am not in the medical field, but to me to it doesn't sound like heart. it sound like it could be diabetes or I am not sure. usually for pain to be associated with heart it is on the left, but once in a while it could start on the right. the little red bumps could be excema (not sure I spelled it right) aches could be arthiritis and memory could be many things from just aging, (I personally know that my memory is slipping to due to much going on and stress.)
I would call a doctor and tell them you have no insurance. maybe they will work with you on this. I know that if we were to go to the clicinc at the hospital, they will wave your fee. we have  aplace in our town that if you are under insured or have no insureance they will see you for FREE. see if you have one of those places nearby.
good luck and I hope it isn't anything too seroius
