Hello, How r u all. I am.39 year male. I have heart problem last six years. 5 year ago dr did my EPS ( ablition ). Now from five years my issue is
" when i do any work like walk or bow down and then take rest , my heart face very much difficultly to become its normal place , i can not explain in words how much worse i feel".
Many tests done many psychologists and cardiologist check me. In short they did my Angio Graphy. Dr said u have minor CAD it will be treated with medicine. I attach my angio graphy report.
Now again i do little work and same bad condition i am facing. I stay on bed..its feels my cardic will arrest or it going to fail.
My life is like hell. I can not enjoy life.
Please tell me is my heart weak? Do I need thalium scan? What i do?
Please give me your suggestion.
I will be thankful to you.

You seem vaguely familiar. I am not as familiar as the HeartStars but I would say you have insignificant blockages and a healthy EF. Look at the pinned post on rehab. It might help you gain fitness and confidence!
This guy turns up from time to time - is usually reported and then he disappears for some months his mum looks after him and he likes to spend his time crying. Obviously that itme of year again -
As has been said your report is not too bad at all. You have also repeated the questions a number of times. I will not criticise you for this as it is obvious you are very worried. This is probably the main ongoing source of your issues and I think you need counselling or something like CBT therapy. You are also still a relatively young man. Don't waste your life like Poor William Sharp:
Thanks you. You understand me. You may believe i just come from hospital emergency. My main issue is heart sinking. When i bow down and sit back normal my heart dink badly. Million of times i told this to cardiologist but then dont answered. I think my symptoms r all heart failurw or cardic arrest. Do you think i hv this problem. I feel my heart is so weak. And it dont bear any load. What i do. My heart is very weak and i m afraid of heart failure because i cannot do any activity.
Heart trouble can be worrying but you have been checked thoroughly and given treatment, so that's good.I was also very anxious after my diagnosis last year and lost all confidence in myself.I was helped by CBT therapy arranged by my GP.It won't change your diagnosis but if you feel calmer that definitely will help your heart.I wish you well.🙂
I think you have got into an anxiety state about your health, and I do not think anything any of us says, will
help you. Basically your mind is closed to that, hard as it is to hear that comment. Many have commented on your angiogram report, really you should take comfort from the fact you do not have serious heart problems. The doctors will keep reviewing as they feel necessary.
I do think counselling or CBT is the way forward to help you to find your life, and to live and enjoy it!
There maybe underlying issues which need to be explored with a good counsellor. I’m a counsellor, once saw a teenager who was convinced he had a brain tumour, like his father had died of. All examinations , negative result. However working through issues, gradually all symptoms disappeared, and a healthy young man got on with his life.
It is incredible how experiences, attitudes, emotions, anxieties can lend to ruling our lives.
Please, first of all, want to live, and want to live well.
Thanks tears became in my eyes to see good man like u in word. I go to many psychologist for CBT therapy.
They dont give me much time. And their qualification is very low. The big psychologist has big fees. I m jobless. I cannot afford their treatment. Can u give me therapy for free.
QuasimRaza, There is hope out there for you, by asking your GP, saying you are willing to have another go with counselling. Mental health is so important these days. This is where your discovery of yourself lies, and how you can slowly gain some peace in your life.
But Quasim, you do have to listen to another, work with him/ her, not against.
I don’t know where you live, but there are counselling services in most towns, where they accept self referrals. An intake worker assess you, to select a counsellor suitable for you, and yes there is a charge, but only according to any financial support you have. Remember, something worthwhile, is worth some remuneration! Training to be a counsellor takes years.
I get that u mean i need councelling. I accept. I live in Pakistan. Here girls mostly do Msc in psychology and start councelling. The most experienced councelor take much money. Here government dont support us. Because its a developing country. Health and education is business in my country.
I attented counslors when i had money. But they just told simple thing take long breath dont thing negitive stay positive. But they dont do it with u. I think they themself dont do deep breathing. Some psychologist are out of city. I dont have money to pay texi fair and their fee. I m very much distrub. All time angry. Nobody know actuall reason of my disease.
Plz look on the positive sides I wish my results came up clear like yours I’m sure if you had something serious they would show on the tests for peace of mind ask your gp to do more tests but for now focus on how to enjoy ur life and ask gp what can u do to improve ur life it’s not where we r it’s how we manage our illnesses and how we can try to have positivity so take care
The very basic report you sent looks very reasonable with what looks like a minor lesion. EF and others also looks good. Could I enquire if your symptom description could be ectopic beats or bursts of Sinus tachycardia ? I don't know your lifestyle or if you smoke or drink but your cardiology professionals have not presented anything in the short report that is unduly worrying. Your personal symptom description is rather unclear. You do seem overly anxious which many of us can be.
I m very thankful to you and other persons here who understand me and answer me. I often has sinus tracycardia when i admitted in emergency in hospital.
I quit smoking one year ago. And i never drink in my life.
Now my problem is that i cannot bend down or take bath. Even i eat normal food then when it digest my heart feel problem. I try many time to adopt health life style but some day i walk and some day i never walk two steps.
When i bow down and sit back normal or stand my heart going to dinking or droping. Like my heart is saying me that why u bow down now face the result. My life is like this type "breathlessness brought on by bending forward is a symptom of heart failure".
I m afraid of heart failure. Because breathlessness is big symptom of heart failure. In my country doctors are well qualified but they dont listen me this is main problem in my country.
As u ask about CBT . Here in my country people r not well qualitfied in psychology. Those who r well qualified are too much expensive. I cannot pay their fees.
Do u think its all about anxiety. I cannot take exercise test. When i do any work then sis normal but heart or heart muscels feel difficulty to become its normal place.
I am not a doctor but from what you have said and looking at your report plus taking in your own version of thought, I certainly do not think you have heart failure. You seem to have quite a plethora of jumbled self diagnosed symptoms which are mostly non specific with many not correlating to common heart symptoms. I reiterate I am not a doctor but you do present with symptoms of extreme anxiety for which you do need to follow up and get help. You say "Your Country" may I ask where you live ?
Pakistan is my country. I m jobless. Government dont help us. So i cannot afford well qualified doctors and their fees. U said i hv no symptoms of heart failure. How u can say this.
I said I did not think you have symptoms of heart failure and must again stress I am not a doctor. I am 76 and have 40 years experience in Cardiac clinics and hospitals making hundreds of "Heart Friends". If you had Heart Failure, your cardiologist would certainly have told you as would the ER staff who tended to you on your emergency visits to hospital. What were those visits for and what was the clinical diagnosis.
I often go in hospital for problem heart is sinking. Heart dont taking proper oxygen. Heart is stoping. Ecg become wrong then give me relaxing tablet after one hour they took one more ecg that become normal they said go back home. Dont tell me what problem in that first wrong ecg. Second thing i cannot eat any heavy food that give power to my heart muscel. Because my heart dont bear it.
Thanks Quasim. As I am not a cardiologist I can't comment but it is odd to me that after a " relaxant" your ECG reads normal as that in itself is unusual except if the first one is indicating palpitations due to stress or anxiety. A 12 lead ECG is sophisticated and would almost certainly show any signs of " heart failure. Maybe other Members on this group would wish to comment. May I wish you all the very best as you are a relatively young man and need to get to the bottom of the problem.
Hi there. I can't answer any medical questions but I do know that having any form of heart disease is scary. I was really scared when I got my diagnosis of heart failure and being scared caused me more problems than the heart failure itself. It might be a good idea to see someone to talk about your worries, someone separate to your doctors who will deal with your illness. You can ask your doctor to refer you for CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy, it might help you deal with your worries. Take care x.

Main problem is this that doctors dont giving me proper time. I am telling them but the write medicine and said no need to worry please relax and go away.
Sounds like you need to get a hobby or some sort of interest and take your mind off what's happening, concentrate on what you are doing 🌞
