Hello to all. My name is LaQuitta, I am a nursing student at Bethune-Cookman College. I am assigned Heart Disease for my Term Project. Part of my project requires me to participate in some type of online support groups, sessions, chats, and message boards/forums. I found this website and became excited that there was a Message Board and that the members on this site actually participate in. I would greatly appreciate if you would assist me by providing any information you may have on the questions below. Thank you in advance for your help.

I had heart disease, i am a black female and the doctors at our local training hospital did not take my symptoms serious enough. They almost killed me. Thank goodness my mom and sister are registered nurses and was able to give me great advice.
Also i did a lot of research on my own and read about other people's treatment. That made me able to talk to my doctors and get better treatment. To date my heart disease has been abated. i must keep a watchful eye on the problem bcuz I am also diabetic.
