Can I Have Heart Problems Even With Normal Blood Pressure And... Posted: 12-12-07 21:12pm
Can i have heart problems even though i
have normal blood pressure that's anywhere
from 117/74 to 130/84 normal EKG and EEG
normal chest X-Ray and normal
bloodwork?The reason i ask is i am always
getting these sharp pains in my left chest
area and from time to time i get pressure
in my chest that goes all the way across
my chest.I have been diagnosed with
anxiety disorder but the anxiety (I think)
is brought on by the chest pains.The chest
pains really come out of the blue and take
me by supprise and that's what causes the
anxiety attacks because it does'nt seem
normal and it really scares me.I am a 43
year old male non drinker non smoker 5ft
11in and about 220lbs which i have lost
about 35lbs in the past 5 months,used to
be about 255lbs.My mother who is a retired
nurse say's i am crazy because all tests
keep coming back normal but the pains i am
experiencing are not in my mind,they are
real and they are making my anxiety
worse!!P.S. This problem has been going on
for almost a year now and i am a generally
nervous/tense person that finds it very
hard to relax.

Me too. I have normal Bp reading of
120/65 and had a EKG done several months
ago. Seriously, when I eat a fatty food I
swear my heart is going to stop. It
almost feels like I have a valve problem
as I often get a weird beat followed by
pain and a feeling like i'm gonna
collapse. I swear when this happens my
face turns a pale white. I never had any
problems until I began taking a
medication. I am off the meds now but I
really think the drug messed up my heart!
Yea, I really don't know what to do. My
Dr. said if I have tests done it will make
it very difficult to get life insurance
cause companies will assume something is
definitely wrong with me, therefore not
want to insure me. Seriously what should
I do? I know this is your thread but you
are knowledgeable and I wish you the best.
I wish I could help you.

Heart disease is silent - We have 13 kinds of cholesterol Posted: 02-05-08 23:08pm
We have 13 different kinds of cholesterol
and most medical providers only look at 2
types. COnsider reading the book THE APO E
GENE DIET - you can get it at BARNES AND
NOBELS.COM . It explains the whole story.
YOu can have a normal cholesterol level
and still have heart disease - that is
heart disease is genetic. But you can do
something about it.
♥ A family history of heart disease is
one of the most powerful determinations of
coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. It is
independent of many CAD risk factors
including smoking, hypertension, diabetes
and high blood cholesterol.
♥ 80% of heart disease is genetic.
♥ Atherosclerosis is a relentless,
progressive disease if not treated
appropriately.
♥ The most common genetic causes of CAD
are not detected on routine blood
cholesterol evaluations.
♥ Without knowledge of the advances in
the field of lipidology and metabolism,
many patients receive treatment that is of
little benefit to their disease, despite
improved blood cholesterol values.
♥ 80% of people with CAD have normal
cholesterol levels.
