Anxiety Or Congestive Heart Failure? Posted: 10-28-04 12:53pm
Hello,
i am a 27 yrs old female, 5.2 ft with no
apparent physical problems
except for being tired and weak for the
last 6 months and having some
chest pain at times. From time to time I
get lightheaded but I do not
understand how significant this is. Are
these symptoms something to
worry about? My primary care doctor told
me that this is mostly due to
anxiety but I might have to go and get
checked by a specialist if there is
something wrong with my heart. One term
he used was congestive heart
failure, but he didn't sound that it is
very serious.
Am I worrying to much about this? I do
have some stress in my life (i
am a graduate student), but I want to go
to the end of this situation
since it takes a toll on my school
performance.
Is this congestive heart failure something
serious? Is there a higher
risk for heart attack if you have this?
Thanks a lot!
