Heart Diseases

I'm having chest tightness and pain. I've recently had an EKG that was abnormal, I'm 22 and they said it was normally found in 60+ year olds. I have to wait until next week to get my ECG Bubble Test to determine exactly what the problem is and how to fix it.

I've been complaining the last 2 months to my doctor of heart palpitations, dizziness and lightheadedness. They hooked me up to a Holter Monitor but I do not know the results of that yet either.

I went into the ER the other night, because I was having chest pains and tightness. I've never had a heart attack lol, so wasn't sure if I should let it go or get it checked out anyway. They did a chest xray and some blood work...and all came out fine. Suggested that I still have the ECG done, but couldn't do anything more for me. I'm still having chest pain, it's very umcomfortable but am not sure what to do? It's right in the middle of my chest, isn't heartburn, and feels like someone is just pushing their fist into me.

A family member of mine compains about high blood pressure but doesn't seem to understand the correlation between salt intake and an increase in blood pressure. Almost every day she consumes about a teaspoon of salt but doesn't see this as a problem. Isn't a teaspoon of salt enough to increase blood pressure? and for someone like her, who likes salty foods, what is the maximum amount of salt, if any, that can be consumed daily without increasing blood pressure?

my daughter was born with a hypoplastic aortic arch, a coarctation of the aorta and a small hole in her heart....i did not know of her condition until after birth. i had a very normal pregnancy. during ultrasounds i felt like the technician always looked at her heart more than everything else....one time i had to have a repeat ultrasound because they "couldnt get a good look at the heart" ??? doctors have assured me that this was not a problem they could have diagnosed or seen without having a fetal echocardiagram. i never had any special ultrasounds--just the regular one in the drs office. im just wondering if anyone else had this happen? or if there is an ultrasound tech out there that can give me some more info about if i could have known about this before my daughter born. her defects were so bad that when her "PDA" started to close she went into heart failure and shock and she almost didnt make it.

Tell me what's wrong with me please
Sometimes my heart feels like it's stopped beating and i can't breathe for a split second
or sometimes my heart beats very fast ferociously, and there's like a bit of pain but more shock ..
What is it? Are these heart attacks? Do I have heart attacks? I don't wanna go to my docs.. but i will probably have to in time

What is wrong with me??

I'm under a great deal of stress with school mainly at the moment and occasionally home, i think that sometimes i have to get away from these places but can't

Please

Can low blood calcium levels cause chronic tiredness? I've had my thyroid and parathyroid checked and they came back okay.

I'm taking calcium and vitamin D supplements now, but am still feeling very tired all the time.

I have been diagnosed with low blood pressure, but now it's getting normal. I can't walk in a straight line anymore. If my blood pressures normal, could it be that my heart is pumping too fast? (my blood pressure is usually 112/ 65 and I am 17 yrs old and weigh 130 lbs.)
