Answer 1

What you are describing sounds like a possible heart attack, if you seem irritable, and sweat-tie go have this checked out. It could also be angina.

Answer 2

Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts for more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back. The discomfort can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.


Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.


Shortness of breath. Often comes along with chest discomfort. But it also can occur before chest discomfort.


Other symptoms. May include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or light-headedness.


The symptoms you describe can also be signs of anxiety or panic attack.
Women tend to have symptoms different from men, so when in doubt, call 911.

Answer 3

Male or female? Very important because women's symptoms can be different than males.

Sounds to me like a call to the doctor and visit to the ER is a good idea. A heart attack is something that, when taken care of ASAP, will cause less damage to the heart muscle. This is nothing to fool around with, get going and take care of this now.

What the heck are you waiting for?

Answer 4

There are many causes for Chest pain that range from Coronary heart disease to psychogenic. Have they checked her for an AORTIC ANEURYSM? This is caused from a weakness in the wall of the aorta where it comes off the heart, it can be from birth or caused from an injury. Extremely dangerous condition to have, it can rupture and the person could bleed to death in minutes. Often the ECG results will read normal in an uncomplicated aortic aneurysm and it can be missed. The best tests to begin with for diagnosing would be a Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or a computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest. The symptoms for an high aortic arch aneurysm are light-headedness, weakness, Shortness of breath, Rapid heart beat, sweating, numbness or tingling in the arm, Chest pain or pressure and loss of consciousness (fainting). This is a very dangerous thing to have, especially if he is having discomfort.

Answer 7

Saturated fat is the main dietary cause of high blood cholesterol. Saturated fat is found mostly in foods from animals and some plants. Foods from animals include beef, beef fat, veal, lamb, pork, lard, poultry fat, butter, cream, milk, cheeses and other dairy products made from whole and 2 percent milk. All of these foods also contain dietary cholesterol. Foods from plants that contain saturated fat include coconut, coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil (often called tropical oils), and cocoa butter.
High cholesterol causes high blood pressure. The best thing for high cholesterol is Losing weight. A plant-based diet in conjunction with a properly conducted fast most often leads to a total recovery or a vast improvement in hypertension and angina.
