  • 1. Except for high cholesterol, I've always been pretty healthy for my age (72). But I recently started puffing on the stairs, so my doctor sent me for a set of tests. After the echocardiogram, he told me I had congestive heart failure. He gave me Lasix and I feel much better. But now he wants me to take at least three other pills every day. Do I need all of them if I feel well?

  • 2. On call. I am 47 years old and I've always been healthy. My main problem is insomnia. Sleeping pills don't work well, and they make me feel groggy. Finally, my doctor gave me a prescription for Desyrel, and he seems to have hit the bull's-eye. I've been sleeping much better and haven't noticed any side effects. But my pharmacist warned me about abnormal erections. Is it a serious concern?

  • 3. On call. I am a 64-year-old man, quite healthy except for high blood pressure, which was diagnosed last year. My doctor gave me Hydro-Diuril, which was only partly successful. Then he added Prinivil, but I had to stop it because of a terrible cough. Now he wants me to take Lopressor, but I've read the package insert and I'm worried about side effects--especially sexual problems, since I already have problems in that area. Do I have to take the pills?

  • 8. Ask the doctor. Over the past few years, I have needed to take hydrochlorothiazide and Lasix together. After I was hospitalized for a serious electrolyte imbalance, my doctors told me never to take these medications again. I recently had my aortic valve replaced, and am now retaining some water. Are there any diuretics I can safely take for this?

  • 9. On call. I am 66 years old and have had angina for nearly 5 years. I take aspirin and Zocor, but I haven't needed nitroglycerin for at least 3 years, even though I ride my bike quite hard at least 4 days a week. I've started having trouble with my erections, and now I want to try Viagra. My doctor gave me a prescription, but my wife won't let me fill it. Is Viagra safe for me?

  • 11. Ask the doctor. I have had a leaking aortic valve for many years. I get an echocardiogram every six months. After the latest one, my doctor told me that my heart was enlarging and asked me repeatedly whether I was getting short of breath with exercise. I told him that sure, I get tired, but it isn't like I am breathing hard while sitting still. Now he wants me to have surgery to replace the valve. Should I do this at age 68?

  • 16. Ask the doctor. I read that Vice President Cheney received an implantable defibrillator because of some extra beats on his electrocardiogram. I've also had some extra beats, but I've never had a heart attack or any other heart problems. My doctor told me not to worry. Is the Vice President getting better care than I am?

  • 19. On call. I developed severe ulcerative colitis in my late teens, and I had my entire colon and rectum removed at age 24. It was certainly worthwhile, since I adjusted easily and I've been healthy ever since. But now I'm 52, and I'm starting to think about prostate cancer. My doctor obviously can't do a rectal exam, and he doesn't want to do a PSA test because he says he won't be able to send me for a prostate biopsy if the test is high. Do I have any options?
