todays Electro and echo gram

[imhayley]

Well I saw the cardiologist today and they did both tests and they didn't see anything wrong. WOO HOOO! They have no ideas as to why I went down to my knees with chest pain and arm numbness but since there is no evidence of anything wrong with my vavle or chamber and whatever else they looked at Im soooo happy. It's deffinately NOT anxiety and so Im going to go into denial now and pretend it never happened. Thanks for all who posted I really appreciate all your input and care!
Have a tickin day;)

awww hayley...
Maybe you also have a dodgy Ulnar nerve like me ? or some worn-out discs in your neck or Thoracic spine ?:confused: ...

hope that it either goes away or they figure out what it is...
its always great to get your heart cleared though...

I will say a pray (or two or three) that this was an isolated muslce spasm of some kind and it never comes back.

Glad to hear all tested OK with the heart.

Glad everything is functioning well and that you're relieved.

I would still ask for the Holter monitor, just to be sure it wasn't an arrhythmia. They often don't show up on demand for EKGs.

Best wishes,

Well I just returned from another visit to the E.R. Last night after getting home from the cardiologist (they said all is okay) I was just relaxing on the couch when I suddenly gasped for air. Then It felt like I having trouble breathing. My heart rate at rest was 112 bpm and pounding like a mad dog I might add. I waited it out ALL night long and this morning had (for weeks now) more nausea and chest pain and just didnt feel right. I DID NOT want to go to the hospital (no insurace!!) but was told when I called the nurse hotline to get there ASAP! They did another ekg, a cat scan, (ekg man said branch blockage but doc says no prob?????????whats a branch blockage?) and found NOTHING. I spit right on the white blanket to show them it was brown but they arn't concerned. Panic attack. Thats the diagnosis. You spit up blood when you panic? I cant take any more of this insanity. Up down up down.....this is no disneyland ride for me. I was there for 4 hours and the total for todays visit....roughly 7 thousand. Yesterday the man giving me the electrocardiagram said "did you know your tricuspid valve leaks?" I was so full of questions for the doc that I forgot to mention that but I guess thats okay too and must just be panic. WHO WOULDNT PANIC WHEN NO ONE IS LISTENING. They all say the test show nothing so theres nothing wrong. Im so very frustrated to say the least. Im sorry Im always sniveling about things but I have NO ONE ELSE to get feedback from ANYWHERE but here it seems so please forgive me as Im not trying to be so self centered Im just scared as all heck and still dont have a single answer.

They did a cat scan because (this is kinda confusing) my blood was showing something in the700 range when it should be in the 200 range and at 1200 your having a clot. Not sure if that makes sense but if im 700 and not 200 and they did a cat scan then what is making it go to 700? Oh must be me and my panicky way. The end. ANy clue anyone????

Oddly enough, I also started gasping for breath last night and spent the entire night very sleepless, uncomfortable, and concerned. My heart rate was elevated, but I don't think it got anywhere near the 100 mark (probably just worry on my part). I haven't really had nausea, but I don't have much of an appetite. Anyways, I was diagnosed by my PCP with Bronchitis after an X-Ray and EKG ruled out Pericarditis and other more serious things. (The interesting fact is that I don't really have a cough.) When looking up Bronchitis online, I saw that one of the symptoms can be coughing up blood. It sounds like you symptoms are a bit different, but I just thought I would throw it out there.

Has anyone checked you for anemia? When Joe has been very anemic, he starts to have problems breathing. It becomes rapid and shallow.

And has anyone checked you out for kidney problems?

The tests that Joe gets are complete metabolic profiles. They show many, many things, not just anemia or kidney problems.

I think it would be worth asking about.
