You Gt Exactly WHat I Have Had Chest Pains Jaw Pain Arm Pains All Day They ARe Like Dull Aches But Weird Sensations That Hurt And Make You Feel Really Horrible As If You Will Burst I Am A Sixteen Year Old Female!?
Ive Had Normal Blood Work Spot On Blood Pressure! X-rays Ecg!
But Im Petrified Last Nght It Gt Worse ......What Do You think Of Mine?

Me too. I have normal Bp reading of 120/65 and had a EKG done several months ago. Seriously, when I eat a fatty food I swear my heart is going to stop. It almost feels like I have a valve problem as I often get a weird beat followed by pain and a feeling like i'm gonna collapse. I swear when this happens my face turns a pale white. I never had any problems until I began taking a medication. I am off the meds now but I really think the drug messed up my heart! Yea, I really don't know what to do. My Dr. said if I have tests done it will make it very difficult to get life insurance cause companies will assume something is definitely wrong with me, therefore not want to insure me. Seriously what should I do? I know this is your thread but you are knowledgeable and I wish you the best. I wish I could help you.

We have 13 different kinds of cholesterol and most medical providers only look at 2 types. COnsider reading the book THE APO E GENE DIET - you can get it at BARNES AND NOBELS.COM . It explains the whole story. YOu can have a normal cholesterol level and still have heart disease - that is heart disease is genetic. But you can do something about it.

♥ A family history of heart disease is one of the most powerful determinations of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. It is independent of many CAD risk factors including smoking, hypertension, diabetes and high blood cholesterol.
♥ 80% of heart disease is genetic.
♥ Atherosclerosis is a relentless, progressive disease if not treated appropriately.
♥ The most common genetic causes of CAD are not detected on routine blood cholesterol evaluations.
♥ Without knowledge of the advances in the field of lipidology and metabolism, many patients receive treatment that is of little benefit to their disease, despite improved blood cholesterol values.
♥ 80% of people with CAD have normal cholesterol levels.

I have had stress tests, ekg, ultrasound blood work thyroid you name it.. all 0 normal. but I can't Last a busy day with out feeling sick and weak. Drs. have just shoved it off as anxiety.. I ALSO CHECK MY BLOOD PRESSURE WHEN I FEEL TIGHT CHESTED AND SHORT OF BREATH AND MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS ALWAYS PERFECT.. BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN.. ??

Very alarming yet apparently there is nothing wrong with me.. Very Strange.. and Very low quality of Life.. ANSWERS OR IDEAS ANYONE ??
