Yes I know alot of you have seen my questions and all they are about is worrying & heart disease but I have a big case of anxiety since Feb 06 so now I'm suffering, worrying and thinking.

Why or why not, can worrying cause heart disease?

Is it a sign of a pending heart attack or just a message from the body telling you to exercise more, quit smoking, and watch the caffeine intake? I ask this because my best friend gets flutters and irregular heartbeats from time to time and she's too paranoid to go to a doctor. Thanks!

I'm a 61 yr old female admitted to the hospital with chest pains. Ekg, cardiac enzymes were normal initially, the only concern was my electrolytes, potassium and magnesium levels were low. Four hours later, my troponin levels became elevated and continued to rise. A cardiac catherization was performed, which showed no blockages or heart damage, I was dischaged. 10 days later, the chest pains returned, I was seen in the E.R, my troponin level climbed to 11. I was dischaged with a level of 10. The next day I had a stress test, which was normal. My doctor told me that if I hadn't passed the stress test, they would have done another catherization.
I am scheduled for an echocardiogram and holter monitor in 3 weeks. Has anyone has a similar problem? Please let me know.

5. A 45-year-old man who has had a myocardial infarction is found to have a serum cholestrol of 6.4 mmmol/l.His triglycerides are normal and the LDL cholestrol is the fraction raised.He is given a low-cholestrol diet but his serum cholestrol does not improve over the next three months.Will lowering the patient’s serum cholestrol substantially reduce the risk of further episodes of ischaemic heart disease?

Can a cardiac event monitor show false bradycardia? It shows the pulse rate on the machine, and everytime id look, it would be like 40s-50's and even 30s upon waking. Can those machines show false bradycardia?

Occasionally the veins in my hands and wrists appear larger than normal. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant, so I know how to take BP, but unfortunately I do not have a cuff at home. My pulse is normal, around 80-85 BPM. I get headaches upon awaking nearly every morning, but it has been like that for many years. I only get nosebleeds when I have a cold. I last had my BP measured a couple months ago, and it was 110/70 (which is normal for me; I tend to run on the low side.)

However, my father has hypertension, so I'm afraid that I may be starting to develop it. I recently got the Lupron Depot shot to control my endometriosis, and prior to that I was on OCPs. I am only 17 years old, I have never smoked, I am borderline overweight, I have never consumed alcohol, and I have moderate salt intake.

Could the "puffier" appearance of my veins be a sign of hypertension?

I come from a long history of CAD sufferers. I am 25, and just had a complete cardiac workup (echo, 24 holter, 3 ekgs, 3 blood tests in 3 days, and a week of telemetry) due to my hr dropping to 39 bpm on a event recorder. They found that my heart goes fast at times, but nothing to worry about right now.

However, for weeks, no months, I have been getting a slight sharp chest pain on the left side above my breast. Doctors dont know what it could be, and do not want to do an angiogram because everything else looks good. I have slight MVP with slight regurgitation.

Does anyone know what can cause like a stabbing chest pain?

I had a pacemaker implanted because my heart rate was irregular and in the low 30's I was experiencing chest pain, dizziness, etc. Two days ago I started experiencing the same symptoms, my blood pressure is way too high even with my med and I'm waiting on a call from my doctor, can a pacemaker malfunction this soon?

I have dealt with heart palpitations for 8 yrs. I am 28 now. I went to hospital overnight recently for bad palpitations that were making me sweat. My chest x-ray was negative, echocardiogram-negative, catscan-negative, thyroid test-negative, and all bloodwork was negative except for my troponin level. It was a .11 and that is why they admitted me. They kept me for a day for observation and my heart rhythm was fine. I had a few pvc's they seen but "nothing to worry about" they said. Anyway, I was discharged with no answer to my raised troponin enzyme. It was a .9 when I left. I am now on 25mg lopressor 2x daily. The doctor says he believes nothing its wrong with my heart, but everything I have read suggests any raise in troponin signifies a heart injury. I am going crazy wondering if something is wrong with me. I see my doctor this coming Friday for follow up. I am going to demand seeing a cardiologist. Anyone ever have a similar problem??? Thanks in advance!

My sister has told me about two episodes of severe chest pain, accompanied by breathlessness, sweating and then vomiting. As a nurse I think this sounds like classical heart attack symptoms. However, she has seen her doctor and despite all kinds of tests no heart problem has been detected. She is 58, slim, healthy and young for her age. I am very worried about this, could it be something other than a heart attack?

My mother is 46, and in April, she was having sever chest pain and her face was always so red. She went to the hospital, they did cardiac cath the next day and told her she needed bypass surgery. Five days later they did the surgery, quadruple bypass, and all was well until last September. She had a mild heart attack. They did an angiogram, put stents in, and she had a TIA(went blind for 11 hours and cant really remember much). The doctor told her she had diseased arteries and that the one(s)(not sure if they did more than one) they fixed was narrowed.

So far. all is well. Shes doing cardiac rehab, and feels a bit fine.

Does anyone know the prognosis after byoass and then angioplasty?
