Ask the doctor. I am a 62-year-old woman who had a heart attack last year. Overall, my medical care has been excellent, and my doctors answer most of my questions even before I ask them. The one exception is any question about sexual activity. I want to know if it is dangerous and whether the medications I'm taking will affect my sex drive. Why won't my doctors address these issues?

Ask the doctor. Because I take the blood thinner warfarin (Coumadin), my doctor said I shouldn't take aspirin. Aren't there any anti-inflammatory drugs I can take for my arthritis that won't increase my chances of a bleeding problem?

By the way, doctor... A local hospital is advertising that I can get a CT scan of my entire body for $700. If it's negative, they say that shows that I don't have cancer. My insurance company won't cover this, but it seems like it might be worth the money if one of these scans can find something. Do you think it's a good idea?

Ask the doctor. I have an electrocardiogram as part of my yearly checkup. After the last one, my doctor mentioned that my ST segment was longer this year than it was last year. He recommended that I have a stress test to check this out. I passed with flying colors. When I asked the cardiologist who did the stress test about the ST segment, he said the length isn't really important, that the height and shape are what matter. Can you explain?

By the way, doctor. Penlac didn't work to cure my toenail fungus. I took an oral medication, terbinafine, and saw some improvement, but my insurance company won't approve more than a few months of treatment. It's frustrating to finally have a solution and then be cut off.

Ask the doctor. Sometime soon I will need to have my aortic valve replaced. I like the fact that mechanical valves last longer than biological valves, but I don't like the fact that they require you to take the blood thinner Coumadin to prevent blood clots. I have heard that one of the new mechanical valves won't require Coumadin, just aspirin. Is that so?

Ask the doctor. During a recent appointment, my cardiologist heard a sound in my neck and sent me for a ultrasound, which showed a narrowing in my carotid artery. The doctor said this means I'm at risk for a stroke. Because I'm already taking all the right medicines, his only recommendation was getting another ultrasound in a year. But if the narrowing gets worse and I have a stroke, won't that be too late?

Ask the doctor. I've been told that I have an abnormal T wave. Should I be worried about this? How will it affect my heart health?
