After a CT scan (normal) and an ultrasound
(normal, incept for 2 heart valves with
minor leaking, and one with mild leakage)
I still dont have an answer to my
problems. My BP isnt skyrockted anymore,
its down to the 145ish area too.
But yet I still keep getting horrible
chest pains, lightheaded, dizzy, cant
breathe well, and sometimes fainting. Ive
been pretty much stress free and eating
healthy, yet they still keep on coming.
Last night I was getting them and my jaw
locked up, and my arm went tingly then
numb, then next thing you know I wake up
this morning.
I have a stress test in 2 weeks, but what
will that show? I figured the CT scan
would give me answers. This has been going
on now for 8 months, and im still getting
these pains all throughout the day and
night, wether im laying down, or moving
around. I cant do anything to physical
though, or else the pain gets intense, big
time.
Ugh what could this be? This is my 2nd
cardiologist, first one said valve leakage
is normal.
PS:
Btw, im also 22, not overweight (in good
shape, minus this issue whatever it may
be)
When all of this happens (multiple times
in the day, at least 5-6, but almost
always some sort of pain in the region) I
can usually feel my pulse pounding through
different parts of my body without even
touching it. Kind of weird too.
Also, it hits me big time too when I sit
up to quick.
PPS: Also forgot to add the fact that im
always fatigued.
Echo-cardiography is much more accurate
method for examining the heart than
CT-scan. Valvular disorders (stenosis or
regurgitation) can be evaluated with
echocardiography. Some valvular disorders
like Mitral valve prolapse can cause some
of your symptoms. Stress test is used to
estimate your coronary circulation (heart
muscle blood supply).
If everything appears OK with your heart
you might have muscle pain, lung disorder
or panic disorder.
