Anxiety Or Congestive Heart Failure? Posted: 11-19-06 12:56pm
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!
Aiko!
