Some of those could be heart problem symptoms and some not. You have something going on that really needs to be checked out. How is your blood pressure? Is it too low or too high? Do you eat well or are you dieting? Are you under wt?Have you been tested for diabetes? My advise is to make an appt. with your primary MD and after blood tests and urine tests they may want to do a stress test and maybe other tests. Have a full workup to find out what the problems are. Best of luck!

You should sit him down with your sister and talk to him. Tell him how much you care and that you want him to be healthy and live a long life. He needs support, and sounds to me, especially if he lives alone, he's not got much to live for. Try to help him get involved in something he's interested in (other than drinking). does he have any friends? Also, I would talk to the doctor for advice, maybe they can fill in the blanks you seem to be a little confused about the medical procedures. Good luck.

Excess anxiety can also release fight or flight chemicals, which are hard on arteries, and overtime can lead to blockages. Eat a heart healthy diet, and see a doctor.
If they say its nothing, you can still try a cardiac rehab routine to see if you feel better in a few months.

HAVE YOU SEEN A PHYSICIAN FOR THIS?
IT MAY BE AN ANXIETY DISORDER RATHER THAN HEART DISEASE.

Eat less animal fat, like cheese, eggs & meat.
Don't eat before bed.
