Heart Attack ??

Question

I am a 33 yr old female and I swear I have heart issues. I have had so many test done for my heart and everything has come back 100% normal.
i have had countless number of EKG's
I have a 48 heart montior
I had a echo of my heart.
my bp is a little high (bottom number in the low 80's)
my cholesterol total is 166.

I do suffer from panic/anxiety and my Dr (bless his heart he is awesome) says all the things I feel is related to my panic not heart.

Is there really anything else they could do to test my heart or did I pretty get everything?
My doc said he wouldn't send me for a cardic cath cuz everything else was fine.

Yes I do take meds to my panic attacks.

Answer 1

If you have had all those tests already & they have all come back negative then considering also you suffer from an anxiety disorder i would almost garuentee those symptoms you are experiencing are panic related. I myself have suffered an anxiety/panic disorder & for years i was convinced something was wrong with my heart, i think it is very common for people with anxiety to also think the same. I have had symptoms like chest pain, tightness, palpitations, even felt like the pain is going down my harm & still the tests i have had done are negative. Try & trust in what the doctors tell you & focus more on something else & less on your symptoms, if you don't give them any attention, gradually they will go away

I have a similar situation - my cardiologist says everything is fine and yet I still get the classic symptoms of a heart attack. the last time i went to the nearest er and they kept me overnight and then my cardio doctor came in the next day and said go home your fine. (this was after another bout on the tread mill) bottom line - whenever i get the chest pain etc I immediately take some aspirin and eventually it goes away. needless to say my medical bills have sharply decreased.

ps - now is the time to get some life insurance - because once they diagnose you with a heart problem is almost impossible to get and very expensive.

Answer 5

Are you taking anything for your anxiety/panic attacks? Are you seeing a counselor? Panic attacks and anxiety can plague you until you find a healthy way out of it. Counseling and perhaps medication can help you on your way. If anything, you should adamant with your doctor about recommending a counselor or psychiatrist because untreated anxiety can make even minor illnesses much worse.

Answer 6

Your doctor has checked out your heart, it seems you are dealing poorly with your panic attacks which can almost seem identical to heart problems. But, if you trust your doctor,forget about your heart and take your anxiety meds as prescribed and try to find something else to occupy your mind.
Good luck and good health.

That doctor that is giving you sympathy isnt helping you one bit. Find a doctor that gives straight forward direction, and a direction you might not want to hear.

I suggest you get yourself some kind of a challenging job and put forth your energies to something useful. That cured a friend of mine from panic disorders such as yours. As soon as this lady got involved in her challenging catering job, GONE was the panic disorders, she grew up!!! The nonsense left her and she now lives a happy and rewarding life.

Thanks to a doctor that was straight forward first off, and second she took advice she didnt at first like to hear.

Rid of that doc he is taking your money and doing you no good. Just because he makes you feel good doesnt mean hes worth a plug nickel.

Answer 8

yep - your heart sounds quite healthy. Those dang panic attacks could make you feel youre having a heart attack. hhhhmmmm-when was the last time you had a nice hot bubble bath with soft music, low lights and candles?

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

Celexa. It works. And have your doc test your thyroid function. Low functioning thyroid can cause anxiety, even if it is just low and not a deficit. And see if you can get a sleep study done, sleep apnea can also cause heart symptoms, along with nightmares, anxiety, and daytime fatigue.
