Hi all members and kind friends, how are you. I m hear again to disturb you.

2 weeks ago i go to cardiologist with my 70 year old mother because i think he will see my mom and treat me well.

In angio graphy that is done about 3 month ago, my disease was sub cornary arteries disease.

I am taking indral, lopren, lipirex, cipralex,cardinet and lexotronal.

My problem is when i walk 10 mint my heart feeling blocking, stoping noy getting enough oxygen bloood to heart muscles. Last time when i visit my cardiologist i beg and join my hands before doctor that please check completely and throughly. He said i bed you that you have no heart disease. As much u have disease i give u medicine.

I show him that time ecgs that were took in emergency and doctors said you have angina attacks, but my cardiologist who is one of best cardiologist in Pakistan said you have anxiety.

End point is he said u have strong heart. You eat this medicine if not become good after one month go to psychologist.

So now i dont do walk in 3 months, once i do again angina attacks show in ecg. So i afraid and donot do put weight on my body. Exerction is not good for my body. One more thing i want to didcuss that this big famous Pakistni cardiologist give my cipralex tablet for anxiety to me. Ehen i open priciption paper from talblet box there was written in warning that it is not good for cardio vascular disease patients. So do u thing question mark on doctors wisdom?

And now as far i read from google about my disease that result that i have mayocardio aschemia. I m again rolling stongs. My diet is best. But i cannot do ecercise. Please tell me what i do.

Hello QasimRaza, your English is good enough for me to understand. I personally would not have a clue how to write and communicate in your language. I am not sure if you can get a second opinion over there ? Also, I am not sure whether you can see someone privately? This tends to be the way forward over here. Any Dr/Consultant would not mind anyone else checking you out. It is such a worry and the fact that you are unable to exercise and get out is not really acceptable. My Cardiologist was WRONG and ended up damaging my heart more, so I can hear and understand your concern.

Thanks . I can understand your english. And i m.afraid like you that cardiologist damanging my heart more. In 7 years they dont understand what wrong eith my heart. They consider my anxiety patient. Different cardiologist has same opinion. But i always cannot do my ett test. As every person i condult highly educated and famous cardiologist of my area. They r famaous in country. When others doctors checked their files and finding they said u hv anciety. Because nothing found in my ecgs and tests. But some times my ecg was not become normal. They said anxiety. In crona starting days i go to hospital continues 9 day. 2 ecgs wrong. Cardiologist said he need to angio graphy. He he and find subcritical CAD. But my condition is still not good. I also visit 4 time after angio graphy. He still say i have anxiety. My anxiety dont allow me moving..i m eating best food. But when i do bsth or try to walk my heart became heavy and tired. My legs and arms are normal. Tomorrow i again go to my previous cardiologist. Lest see what he say. Day by day i m going down. No one is understanding me because my outer health is not looking bad.

Here i m.jobless. so i checked by doctors privatly. They took heavy fees. Make me happy and encourage me. But dont understand me. When i came home the next day same happend with me.

Your English is perfectly understandable. Some of your condition might be anxiety. After my heart attack my anxiety was so bad that it gave me pains in my heart. I had some talking therapy for my anxiety and it helped. Please try to exercise - it's good for mental health as well as physical.

I had my heart attack when I was 65 but I had led a very healthy lifestyle. I've never smoked,drank moderately, eat a Mediterranean diet, exercised daily and am a healthy weight so it was a total shock. I was very very anxious which made my chest feel tight and painful. I now know it was the anxiety causing it. I did no exercise for a month then walked for 5 minutes a day, then 10 minutes and built it up very gradually. Why don't you start from the beginning and do 5 minutes for 5 days then 10 then 15 and build up to an hour fast walking? I listen to the radio on earphones when I'm exercising. If you listen to the radio or some music it will take your thoughts away from your worries.

Sir i m.agree with u..same happend with me that according to drs my anxiety playing roll. But i was telling to different cardiologist from 5 years that my heart is getting weak. Because when i life weight lillte weight my heart cannot bear it. Now current position is this that cardiologist dont believe me still. They again said u have heart problem with anciety. Sir you got heart heart attack but i donot. I have sub critical cad. But if u see me my condition is so bad. Even i m 40 year old. If i little streched my arms or body my heart suddenly tired. I cannot explain how much difficulty i feel. Very werid ahful feelings. And my heart take much more time to vome its normal place. I m telling this heart condition to my drs from 3 year that my heart feel difficulty to become its normal position. I request them to send me cardiac rehab center or admitt me in hospital to check me. Ehat i m.saying. but dont know why they r not serious. They say u have given u stop heart attack medicine now u treat your anxiety. But when i walk my chest start pain when i stand or go out of home my heart sinking or etc.

i dont know what my heart become so weak in last 8 month. Before this i can do walk.

Sir please suggest me how i increase my stemina. My diet is good almost. You said about your anxiety cause of your heart attack. Do u think did you had anxiety before your heart disease or attack.

Stay bleassed and healthy. Thank.

Good Evening from here. I'm 65 now but hadn't 'felt right' for at least a decade and heard the same old story regarding 'anxiety'. It's a long long story but ended up with an 100% blockage last year. I can climb stairs now - slowly, without feeling giddy and nauseous and gasping for air and my brain is definitely benefiting from the oxygenated blood. Perhaps you could ask your Dr/Consultant how much oxygen your blood is carrying if you find yourself short of breath.
