Fast Heart Rate , Dizziness Posted: 11-08-04 18:25pm
Hi all, I posted this in the anxiety forum
too so save yourself a long read if you
read it there...Lol.
Anyway my problems started back in june
when I was driving down the road and I
felt my heart speed up and was shaky and
had this intense fear that I was going to
die. (my husband wanted to talk about
some things from the past that were really
painful for me about 2 days before this
happened) from that point on about once a
week I would get this feeling. Gradually
it went to pressure in my chest and
numbness in my left arm. I have been to
the emergency room and had multiple ekg's
run and blood work done with everything
being fine. I am scheduled for a stress
test in 2 weeks. Anyway, this sick
feeling right below my rib cage and the
chest pressure (not horrible) and either
pain or numbness in my left arm is almost
everyday on and off. Today has been a
good day with little pain. Oh and sharp
stabbing pains on each side of my chest.
Lots of muscle soreness in the shoulders
and back. Could this be heart related or
is this anxiety? Just need some ideas.
Thanks alot for any help.

It could very likely just be anxiety. It
sounds like you have a lot of muscle
tension in some areas. Hopefully this
isn't heart related but you should get it
checked out anyways. Take care! :)

I recommend that you get a halter monitor
test for a minimum of one week.
This will check your heart to ensure
everything is okay.
However, I do beleive it is stress
related, but the halter monitor will prove
yes or no.
