Hi all,
i was wondering if anyone with angina
could let me know if this sounds
similar.
I have suffered left arm pain for some
time which starts as a stabbing pain in my
upper arm/ shoulder and spreads into my
hand and fingers which go numb. It is
sometimes accompanied by a feeling of
electricity in my chest and palpitations.
I have normal cholesterol and blood
pressure and no history of premature heart
disease. I have had a normal ecg and
holter monitor but my doctor will do no
further tests as he says I am too young.
I now feel dizzy almost constantly and
completely fatigued as if I have had flu
and gone out too soon.
I am 24 years old, I have just got married
and wish I could feel better and enjoy
life but this is not an option as 90% of
the time I am white as a sheet and unable
to go out due to extremely poor
circulation in my hands and feet.
Please can anyone shed any light on this?

First off, you should go to a different
doctor. One who says he won't do any test
because you're too young musn't be a good
one. This definitely sounds like angina
and you should really get some more tests.
Take care! <3
