Impending Heart Trouble Or Digestive Disorder? Posted: 02-19-07 23:44pm
For over year now I have been having
chest pain in the center of my chest,
sometimes with difficulty breathing,
sometimes after swallowing several
tylenols or nexium and zyrtec. I have been
to my primary who sent me for an echo
cardiagram, a stress test, several ekgs,
and a colonoscopy. I am on nexium,
zelnorm and zyrtec with a possible
diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome. I
notice this chest pain more when I am
under stress and was then given atavan
cause I think the doctor thinks i'm nuts.
I am just tired of being in some kind of
pain every single day. I want to go back
to my old life where I could just get up
in the morning and not wonder 10 times a
day if I am having a heart attack. My dad
died of a heart attack at 52 having his
first attack at 39. Most of my moms
relatives on her dads side had heart
attacks into their 50's, men and women but
my mom and her sister are fine. My blood
pressure is usually 127/80 my cholesterol
is about 214, I weigh about 220 down from
286 a year ago and I exercise about 40
min. a day 5 days a week on a stationary
bike. I welcome any thoughts on this.
